“…Following previous research with the Reinert method using IRaMuTeQ (see Camargo & Bousfield, 2009;Idoiaga Mondragon & Belasko Txertudi, 2019;Idoiaga Mondragon et al, 2020;Lelaurain et al, 2018) we selected the most significant vocabulary of each lexical class following three criteria: 1) an expected occurrence of the word greater than 3; 2) proof of association of the chi-square with the class (χ² ≥ 3.84; (p = 0.05); df= 1); and 3) the fact that the word is specific to that class in at least half the times it is used. The Reinert method has frequently been used for media studies (see Britel et al, 2020;Ledouble & Marty, 2019;Manchaiah et al, 2018) because of its advantages in relation to other lexicometric methods. These advantages can be summed in the following points:…”

Storm Xynthia (2010) brought to the fore marine submersion as a great concern to French authorities and communities. This storm illustrates how a single major event can have long lasting effects on climate risk management. To discern this effect, we conduct two studies analysing the emergence and evolution of concerns related to marine submersion in French national and regional newspapers prior to and after the storm (2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017)(2018). In Study 1, we examine trends in issue coverage and how 'marine submersion' was appropriated by French media discourse over the selected period, identifying and segmenting specific topical sequences. In Study 2, a computer-assisted content analysis of 260 articles highlights a dichotomy of themes before and after Storm Xynthia. Articles published prior to Xynthia (2005Xynthia ( -2009 warned of marine submersion among the expected impacts of climate change. Those published just after Xynthia (2010-2013) present highly structured and technical descriptions of national risk management policies. In recent years (2014)(2015)(2016)(2017)(2018), articles focus on local stakeholders' challenge to national risk management policies, described as too far removed from local dynamics.Our studies reveal the emergence and amplification, via public debate in French newspaper media, of 'marine submersion' as a hazard, and the objectification of the risk through Storm Xynthia.

“…The issue of uncertainty is discussed in Mothersill and Seymour 2022 [ 20 ]. These ideas are fiercely unpopular among those who wish to promote a threshold model of radiation protection because any possibility that radiation might cause any adverse low dose effects, means that a precautionary approach is likely to be retained when setting dose limits [ 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ]. The reality is that low dose hypersensitivity exists [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ] and non-targeted effects (discussed in the next section), can result in both “good” and “bad” effects [ 2 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ].…”

The role of signalling in initiating and perpetuating effects triggered by deposition of ionising radiation energy in parts of a system is very clear. Less clear are the very early steps involved in converting energy to chemical and biological effects in non-targeted parts of the system. The paper aims to present a new model, which could aid our understanding of the role of low dose effects in determining ultimate disease outcomes. We propose a key role for electromagnetic signals resulting from physico-chemical processes such as excitation decay, and acoustic waves. These lead to the initiation of damage response pathways such as elevation of reactive oxygen species and membrane associated changes in key ion channels. Critically, these signalling pathways allow coordination of responses across system levels. For example, depending on how these perturbations are transduced, adverse or beneficial outcomes may predominate. We suggest that by appreciating the importance of signalling and communication between multiple levels of organisation, a unified theory could emerge. This would allow the development of models incorporating time, space and system level to position data in appropriate areas of a multidimensional domain. We propose the use of the term “infosome” to capture the nature of radiation-induced communication systems which include physical as well as chemical signals. We have named our model “the variable response model” or “VRM” which allows for multiple outcomes following exposure to low doses or to signals from low dose irradiated cells, tissues or organisms. We suggest that the use of both dose and infosome in radiation protection might open up new conceptual avenues that could allow intrinsic uncertainty to be embraced within a holistic protection framework.
