Young Researchers Network on Complex Systems
▻http://www.yrncs.comThe aim of the Young Researchers Network on Complex Systems (YRNCS) is to bring together the Young Researchers working on Complex Systems.
We would like to create a big community of Young Researchers and Scientists who will exchange ideas and consult each other, who can work together and build the basis of future collaborations.
We would like these exchanges to take place in a less formal way than in conferences which may be puzzling for Young Researchers, but still formal enough to retain the seriousness and productivity of high level scientific collaborations.

Poverty, Disease, and the Ecology of Complex Systems
▻http://www.plosbiology.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pbio.1001827The modern economics literature on poverty traps, however, is strikingly silent about the role of feedbacks from biophysical and biosocial processes. Two overwhelming characteristics of under-developed economies and the poorest, mostly rural, subpopulations in those countries are (i) the dominant role of resource-dependent primary production—from soils, fisheries, forests, and wildlife—as the root source of income [11],[12], and (ii) the high rates of morbidity and mortality due to parasitic and infectious diseases [13]. For basic subsistence, the extremely poor rely on human capital that is directly generated from their ability to obtain resources, and thus critically influenced by climate and soil that determine the success of food production. These resources in turn influence the nutrition and health of individuals, but can also be influenced by a variety of other biophysical processes. For example, infectious and parasitic diseases effectively steal human resources for their own survival and transmission. Yet scientists rarely integrate even the most rudimentary frameworks for understanding these ecological processes into models of economic growth and poverty.
La conclusion plaide pour une infrastructure de services de #santé dont l’accès serait indépendant des revenus (autrement dit, gratuit pour l’usager).
