This paper discusses reported incidence of domestic violence in Nigeria, the different forms of abuse which may occur in the home and the devastating consequences on the individuals involve and the society at large. Some of the predisposing factors of domestic violence are discussed and counselling, prevention and remedial are proffered ugly situation, Women experience more chronic and injurious physical assaults at the hands of intimate partners than men do. It was found that women who were physically assaulted by an intimate partner are men in their averaged age. Violence perpetrated against women by intimates is often accompanied by emotionally abusive and controlling behavior. The study found that women whose partners were jealous, controlling, or verbally abusive were significantly more likely to report being raped, physically assaulted, and/or being raped, physically assaulted, and/or stalked by a male cohabitant. These findings, combined with those presented in the previous bullet, provide further evidence that intimate partner violence is perpetrated primarily by men, whether against male or female intimates. Thus, strategies for preventing intimate partner violence should focus on risks posed by men. Some studies conclude that women and men are equally likely to be victimized by their partners, but others conclude that women are more likely to be victimized. Some studies conclude that minorities and whites suffer equal rates of intimate partner violence, and others conclude that minorities suffer higher rates.

Published: October 2022

Introduction: The incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasing worldwide due to the aging population, early diagnosis, and the increase in its risk factors. This study aimed to determine the risk factors associated with CKD in adults from a health center in Santa Teresa—Carazo (Municipality of Nicaragua).
Methods: This case-control study was conducted from November 2017 to November 2019, with a probabilistic sample of consecutive sampling for cases and random sampling for controls. The dependent variable (CKD) and the independent sociodemographic variables, family history of CKD, comorbidity, smoking, and use of NSAIDs and PPIs were analyzed. Chi-square (X2) and odds ratio were applied, and a significant association was considered if P < 0.05.
Results: 153 participants were included, 51 cases and 102 controls. Risk factors were: age > 60 years (OR 6.65), male sex (OR 4.98), rural origin (OR 1.80), illiteracy (OR 2.46), agricultural occupation (OR 6.73), obesity (OR 2.08), hypertension (OR 8.19), diabetes mellitus (OR 4.85), dyslipidemia (OR 1.23), cardiovascular disease (OR 4.40), and the use of NSAIDs (OR 2.87) and PPIs (OR 4.17).
Conclusions: CKD risk factors were components of poverty, such as illiteracy. Possible exposure to nephrotoxins is more common in farmers, so they have a significant risk, as well as patients who chronically take NSAIDs and proton pump inhibitors.

L’autrui dans la sphère la plus originaire
Authors: Choo Eun‑Hye ,   Romanian Society for Phenomenology
Published: October 2022

This paper examines the influence that Husserl’s drive/instinct theory has on Merleau‑Ponty’s late philosophy. Husserl’s interest in the passive realm of life develops into a study of a more profound level which even precedes the emergence of subjectivity. We analyze how it leads Merleau‑Ponty, in his philosophy of flesh, to furnish an ontological explanation regarding the problem of the relationship with others. In this regard, we investigate firstly Husserl’s theory of originary affection and its limits, before scrutinizing the notion of empathy; thereby we show how Merleau‑Ponty develops the Husserlian intentional relation into a carnal relation based on the idea that others and I belong to the same world. This will reveal that the relationship with the others always lies in the most profound level of our experience, because we share the ontological affinity, namely, the flesh.
Why and How Transcendental Phenomenology Should Interact with Neuroscience
Authors: Liu Zixuan ,   Romanian Society for Phenomenology
Published: October 2022

Current dialogues in neuroscience are limited to phenomenological psychology plus neuroscience, or neurophenomenology. Within these dialogues, transcendental phenomenology is largely expelled. This article proposes a transcendental phenomenology of and through neuroscience. The “phenomenology‑of ” neuroscience is a philosophy that refuses to view the Experience‑Body Relation and Life‑Non‑Life Ambiguity as if they were predetermined, unintelligible, metaphysical gaps. Instead, it attempts to understand them through a correlative intentional experience involving activities of neuro‑scientific investigation and their pre‑theoretical prerequisites. This establishes the indispensability of self‑report and highlights the failings of two naturalistic interpretations of intentionality (representationalism and enactivism). A “phenomenology‑through” neuroscience is thus justifiable and necessary, as illustrated by the example of memory consolidation during sleep. The article finds that as phenomenology‑plus, neurophenomenology can solve its problems only through a mutually constraining “phenomenology‑of ” and “‑through”.
Husserl’s Semiotics of Gestures
Authors: Byrne Thomas ,   Romanian Society for Phenomenology
Published: October 2022

By examining the evolution of Husserl’s philosophy from 1901 to 1914, this essay reveals that he possessed a more robust philosophy of gestures than has been accounted for. This study is executed in two stages. First, I explore how Husserl analyzed gestures through the lens of his semiotics in the 1901 Logical Investigations. Although he there presents a simple account of gestures as kinds of indicative signs, he does uncover rich insights about the role that gestures play in communication. Second, I examine how Husserl augmented his theory of gestures in his 1914 Revisions to the Sixth Logical Investigation. Husserl describes some gestures as signals, which are experienced as intersubjective communication, as having a temporally diachronic structure, and as possessing an obliging tendency. Husserl also contrasts gestures to language by showing how language habitually leaves traces on us.
The Primal Scenes of Language and the Gesture
Authors: Kaushik Rajiv ,   Romanian Society for Phenomenology
Published: October 2022

This paper seeks to develop the connection in Merleau‑Ponty’s later ontology between the gesture and language. There is a concerted effort in Merleau‑Ponty’s “middle period” to illustrate that a linguistic system of signs is internally constellated by the body and its movement. This effort seems to give way to an ontology of flesh in the later period. On closer consideration, however, this ontology and the linguistic system of signs—both “diacritical”—are mutually imbricated. This highlights the crucial importance of separation, deviation, and difference in Merleau‑Ponty’s ontology. A question remains, however: how can the body, and in particular the gesture, be the very site of separation rather than of an initiation or identification? I argue that, for Merleau‑Ponty, every gesture contains something internally antagonistic to it, something that cannot be grasped or moved. In this sense, the gesture is an “implex,” both internally resistant to and productive of signification. It is, in short, the site of a symbolization. In light of this, in the conclusion I reconsider the final passages from “Cézanne’s Doubt” where Merleau‑Ponty discusses Freud’s “hermeneutical musings” on Leonardo, and the passages from “Indirect Language and the Voices of Silence” and the nature lectures where he discusses the painter’s brushwork.
Bodily Expression and Transbodily Intentionality. On the Sources of Personal Life
Authors: Brudzińska Jagna ,   Romanian Society for Phenomenology
Published: October 2022

In this paper, relying on both phenomenology and psychoanalysis, I introduce the concept of transbodily intentionality with the aim of exploring the significance of bodily expression for subjective constitution. The role of the body for the constitution of subjective experience becomes increasingly important in phenomenological analysis. This faces us with the challenge of understanding the intersubjective relevance of bodily processes together with the genetic turn of phenomenology. On this background, the revaluation of the concept of gesture comes into light. The meaning of the gesture cannot be framed in an exclusively subjective context, but rather requires a communicative and intersubjective horizon.
“Here is Looking at You”
Authors: Knoblauch Hubert , Steets Silke ,   Romanian Society for Phenomenology
Published: October 2022

In this article, we propose to reconceptualize phenomenology in a relational way. Instead of taking subjective consciousness as the starting point for the constitution of meaning, we consider meaning (as well as subjects and subjectivities) as something that is produced in social relations, or more precisely, in communicative actions. In order to explore how this works we empirically study mutual gaze as a critical case. At first sight, the reciprocity that arises when two subjects look into each other’s eyes and perceive how they look and are being looked at reciprocally seems to be “pure,” i.e. free of any mediation by language, gestures or other objectivations. It turns out, however, that mutual gaze unfolds, albeit highly ambivalently and fluidly, as an “object in time”. In contrast to non‑subjectivist approaches, we argue that we need some sort of subjectivity to understand phenomena such as mutual gaze. However, we also need to understand its embeddedness in cultures as well as in social relations. This is what Relational Phenomenology means.
Animate Realities of Gesture
Authors: Sheets-Johnstone Maxine ,   Romanian Society for Phenomenology
Published: October 2022

Section I details Husserl’s insight into style and how a person’s individual style is played out in affect and action and in the two‑fold articulation of perception and “the kinestheses,” both of which are integral to gestural communication. Section II details how the evolutionary perspectives of Darwin and linguistic scholars complement Husserl’s insights into the animate realities of gesture and bring to light further dimensions of human and nonhuman gestural practices and possibilities through extensive experiential accounts that document the essential role of movement and thinking in movement in animate lives. Section III focuses on critical oversights by prominent phenomenologists who, rather than basing their studies in the rigors of phenomenological methodology, write of “what it is like” with respect to experience or give preferred opinions as in “consciousness of my gesture [...] can tell us nothing about movement.”
Everett, Lotteries, and Fairness
Authors: Rowe Thomas , Papineau David ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2022

Defenders of the Everettian version of quantum mechanics generally hold that it makes no difference to what we ought to do. This paper will argue against this stance, by considering the use of lotteries to select the recipients of indivisible goods. On orthodox non-Everettian metaphysics this practice faces the objection that only actual and not probable goods matter to distributive justice. However, this objection loses all force within Everettianism. This result should be of interest to both philosophers of physics and to ethicists.
La ciudad fluida: eco-urbanismo y normalización del edificio hidráulico. Un estudio de caso en la España mediterránea de finales del siglo XIX
Authors: Monge Juárez Mariano
Published: October 2022

Desde la óptica de la «producción del espacio» de Henri Lefebvre, en el contexto del materialismo histórico francés de los años setenta, este artículo presenta una aproximación a la relación del espacio urbano y la red de canales de regadío que configura la ciudad de Elche, en el sureste de España. El concepto «ciudad fluida» en el ecosistema mediterráneo surge de la dialéctica entre producción del espacio urbano y apropiación de la orografía. Durante el siglo XIX, el poder municipal y las oligarquías agrarias de la ciudad dirigen un proceso de normalización de la apropiación del espacio a través del control normativo del «edificio hidráulico» que componen las aguas de regadío del territorio. En pleno inicio de la revolución industrial local, se produce una renovación del concepto «ciudad fluida» ya que el agua adquiere un nuevo valor añadido, el de fuente de energía.

Authors: Lehner Natalija , Bricl Irena , Bizjak Bojana
Published: October 2022

Ciljana zaščita z imunoglobulinom anti-D je program, ki na podlagi presejalnega testa omogoča neinvazivno določitev plodovega genotipa RHD iz periferne krvi RhD-negativne nosečnice. Pred uvedbo določanja predvidenega fenotipa RhD so vse RhD-negativne nosečnice prejele zaščito z imunoglobulinom anti-D v 28.–30. tednu nosečnosti. V Evropi 40 % RhD-negativnih nosečnic nosi RhD-negativen plod in zaščite ne potrebuje, saj med materjo in plodom ni RhD-neskladnosti in zato ni nevarnosti senzibilizacije na antigen RhD. Z uvedbo tega testa pa nosečnice zaščito z imunoglobulinom anti-D prejmejo ciljano glede na predvideni plodov fenotip RhD. Z uvedbo nacionalnega programa je Slovenija postala ena redkih držav v svetovnem merilu, ki izvaja ciljano zaščito z imunoglobulinom anti-D.
Comparison Of Shear Bond Strength And Adhesive Remnant Index Between Different Adhesive Systems In Bonding and Rebonding of Orthodontic Brackets
Authors: VELİOĞLU Mehmet Semih , KÖK Hatice , ÜNLÜ Nimet
Published: October 2022

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the shear bond strength (SBS) and adhesive remnant index of stainless-steel brackets bonded with different orthodontic adhesive systems. Materials and Methods: In our study performed on 60 premolar teeth extracted for orthodontic reasons, MBT prescription 0.022'' stainless-steel brackets (Discovery Smart®, Dentaurum, Germany) were used. In teeth randomly divided into 3 groups, bonding was performed with Group 1: Trulock Light Activated Bonding System (RMO, USA), Group 2: Bisco Ortho Bracket Paste LC (Bisco, USA), Group 3: Transbond XT Light Cure Adhesive (3M, USA). SBS and residual adhesive indexes (ARI) were evaluated by breaking the samples. Adhesive residues were cleaned with tungsten carbide burs from the surfaces of the teeth, rebonding was made after sanding the brackets’ surfaces. SBS and ARI values were re-evaluated. One-way ANOVA, two-sample t-test and Mann-Whitney U tests were used for statistical analysis of the data, p <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Statistically significant differences were observed between Group 1 and Group 2 in comparison to the first SBS values of three different orthodontic adhesive systems to enamel (p <0.05). Among the adhesive systems, only a statistically significant difference was found between the first bonding values and the rebonding values of Group 2 (p <0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the first and rebond strengths of the other two adhesive systems. Rebonding values of three different orthodontic adhesive systems were very close to each other. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that the adhesive systems developed for the bonding of orthodontic brackets to the enamel can show clinically enough bond strength even if the rebonding strengths of the falling stainless-steel brackets to the same enamel surfaces decrease slightly.

Epistolary Gentility of Literary Women in the Mid-Nineteenth Century
Authors: Cai Danni
Published: October 2022

Focusing on Correspondence from the Double-Cassia Studio (Shuanggui xuan chidu 雙桂軒尺牘), a collection of letters by a gentlewoman named Ding Shanyi 丁善儀 (1799–after 1861), this paper examines how elite women in mid-nine- teenth-century China applied epistolary conventions in their social life. Com- pared to other literary collections of individual women in late imperial China, Ding’s letter collection is exceptional in recording the life of its author through the epistolary genre and in revealing the sociopolitical dynamics that underlay elite women’s epistolary gentility. Ding’s letters are indicative of the noticeable concerns shared by gentlewomen in mid-nineteenth-century China and provide specific contexts for understanding some of the epistolary techniques used by lit- erary women to facilitate social networking. This paper uncovers Ding’s life and explores three major themes in her epistolary collection: her responses to crises, concerns about health, and cultivation of friendship. Ding’s letters show how elite women evinced sophistication and erudition in their epistolary composition, which was an important way for them to express themselves and demonstrate their mas- tery of language and rhetorical tradition.

This article offers a typologically-driven and corpus-based analysis of the historical present (HP) “active participle” qātēl in Biblical Aramaic. The authors argue that qātēl instantiates the HP category quite neatly and provide three main arguments. First, qātēl complies with the definition of a progredient/propulsive HP that emerges from crosslinguistic literature: while, in its prototypical use, qātēl expresses some type(s) of present, it may also be employed in narrative to introduce past perfective events. Second, when used as an HP, qātēl exhibits functions that are consistent with tendencies attested across languages: stylistically, the HP qātēl is often associated with expressivity, mirativity, and dramatism, while discourse-pragmatically, it is predominantly related to the progression (rarely, the climax) and atomization of the plot. Third, most other properties exhibited by the HP qātēl also harmonize with the behavior of HPs observed in linguistic typology; these concern types of clauses in which the HP qātēl appears, and subjects and verbs used. Overall, the HP qātēl can be viewed as a highlighting narrative device—subjective although linguistically constrained.
Tree of Life Motif, Late Bronze Canaanite Cult, and a Recently Discovered Krater from Tel Burna
Authors: Locatell Christian , McKinny Chris , Shai Itzhaq
Published: October 2022

This paper discusses a krater recently discovered in a cultic building at Tel Burna in the Shephelah. Of special interest is the krater’s relatively well-preserved decoration containing multiple nature scenes related to the so-called tree of life or sacred tree motif. The krater’s physical description and archaeological context and the decoration’s relationship to relevant comparanda are explored in order to elucidate the significance of its iconography. In light of this discussion, we conclude that the decoration includes an abstract representation of a Canaanite goddess as a “pubis of life” variation of the “tree of life” motif on the krater as a votive vessel in the Late Bronze Age cult.
Mistaken Identity
Authors: Harvey Ramon
Published: October 2022

Since the writings of Shiblī Nuʿmānī and A. J. Wensinck in the early twentieth century, scholarship has often questioned the ascription of the creed al-Fiqh al-akbar II to the well-known theologian and jurist Abū Ḥanīfa (d. 150/767). But there has hitherto been little attempt to determine how and when this text entered the Hanafi theological tradition and who its true author was. In this article I show that until the early eighth/fourteenth century, theological and biographical works referring to al-Fiqh al-akbar consistently mean the text written by Abū Muṭīʿ al-Balkhī (d. 199/814), which was later renamed al-Fiqh al-absaṭ. I then trace the entry of al-Fiqh al-akbar II into the mainstream tradition, showing that the key figure in its popularization was the legal theorist ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz al-Bukhārī (d. 730/1329), who extensively quotes from the creed and attributes it to Abū Ḥanīfa. Finally, I propose that clues in the reception history and content of al-Fiqh al-akbar II corroborate the claim recorded in some texts that it was instead likely written by an obscure late fourth/tenth-century Hanafi scholar named Abū Ḥanīfa Muḥammad b. Yūsuf al-Bukhārī.
History of the *Kāśyapaparivarta in Chinese Translations and Its Connection with the Mahāratnakūṭa (Da Baoji jing 大寶積經) Collection
Authors: Silk Jonathan A. , Nagao Gadjin M.
Published: October 2022

The *Kāśyapaparivarta, an early Mahāyāna sūtra, has a complex history. Sanskrit and Tibetan versions, and some of its Chinese translations, have been available to scholars for almost a century, thanks to Staël-Holstein’s 1926 editio princeps. Yet no comprehensive survey of available sources, or critical appraisal of their antecedants, has been published, and most importantly, essential Chinese materials have long been overlooked. The present contribution focuses most centrally on the Chinese translations of the scripture. In addition, the relation of the sūtra to the Mahāratnakūṭa collection of forty-nine texts and the possible Indic origins of the latter are explored.

Restoring “History” to Historical Study
Authors: Tian Xiaofei
Published: October 2022

Reviewing a recent book about early medieval Chinese geographical writings, this essay asks what sort of historical contextualization is needed for historical study, and suggests looking at multiple factors, including the material conditions of textual production, that may be responsible for the proliferation of texts. It cautions against embracing a single story to account for a long historical period, especially if that story fits our modern concerns too neatly; even more importantly, we have to allow the primary sources to take the lead, rather than looking for and presenting only evidence that serves a particular agenda.
Partial Eclipse of Seven Full Moons
Authors: Laher Suheil
Published: October 2022

The main ideas and critical theses of Shady Nasser’s substantial recent book are here critically discussed and evaluated. The book offers many contributions to the field, but I note a few debatable instances where the author’s data are open to interpretations other than those he has concluded. An excursus contains a detailed discussion on the reliability of the eponymous quranic reciters, a topic that, I argue, the book does not treat adequately.
Incidental Diagnosis of Swyer-James-MacLeod Section Syndrome: A Case Report and Review of Literature
Authors: Borkar Shweta Ramnarayan , Lanjewar Ajay Vasant , Inamdar Anil , Agarwal Anshu , Madhikar Atul Sudhakar
Published: October 2022

Swyer-James-MacLeod Syndrome (SJMS) appears as unilateral hyperlucency on chest imaging and is documented as a rare sequela of frequent paediatric respiratory infections. Due to its rarity, various causes of haemithoracic radio-opacity and radiolucency were studied while evaluating this case. In individuals with bronchiolitis obliterans, SJMS has been observed in about 4% of cases. The left lung is preferentially involved in most cases for unknown reasons. The syndrome usually develops following viral respiratory infection in infancy or early childhood, such as adenoviruses or Mycoplasma pneumoniae. It is predicted to have a prevalence of 0.01%. This case study focuses on an incidental finding of abnormal radiography identified during assessing a 54-year-old man with low back pain in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Patient and relative should be explained about the Chest X-ray finding and the reason for SJMS to avoid unscrupulous investigations in the future as index patient had no respiratory symptoms.
Ectopic Enigma- A Case Series of Unusual Presentations of Tubal Ectopic Pregnancy
Authors: Thimmappa Sowmya Shree , Mamatha S
Published: October 2022

A pregnancy that develops outside of the uterus is referred to as an ectopic pregnancy. The fallopian tube is the most typical location for ectopic pregnancy. Two percent of reported pregnancies are ectopic pregnancy. Hereby, authors present a case series of three cases, of unusual presentation of tubal ectopic pregnancy. First case was 22-year-old female, para1 living1, presented with abdominal pain, vomiting and no history of amenorrhoea. Her beta Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) was 82042 mIU/mL. A live ectopic pregnancy of 11 weeks with intact gestational sac ruptured en caul was noted on laparotomy. She underwent right salpingectomy. Second case was a 36-year-old, Abortion 2 Ectopic1, with one and a half months of amenorrhoea, abdominal pain and spotting per vagina with beta HCG of 27472 mIU/mL. Laparoscopy revealed, left sided unruptured tubal stump ectopic pregnancy and was managed by excision of tubal stump ectopic . Third case was a 26-year-old, para 2 living 2, with history of 2 months of amenorrhoea, abdominal pain and spotting per vagina. Laparotomy revealed right infundibular ectopic pregnancy with incomplete abortion with active bleeding. She underwent right salpingectomy. Cases were managed successfully. This case series emphasises the significance of having a high index of suspicion for ectopic pregnancy in all reproductive-age women regardless of their presentation.

It has been demonstrated that Vernonia amygdalina, often known as the bitter leaf, offers a range of medical benefits that can improve human health. This study was designed to investigatethe effects of V. amygdalina (VA) ethanolic leaf extracts on some haematological parameters in albino rats. A total of thirty - six albino rats fed with a commercial pelleted poultry grower’s mash- diet were used for this study and they were divided into six groups, each containing six rats. Groups 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 received 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 mg/kg body weight (bwt) of VA leaf extract three times a week at two-day intervals over a period of three weeks. Group 6 (control) received water only. The haematological parameters (red blood cell count (RBC), haemoglobin (Hb), packed cell volume (PCV), total white blood cell count (TWBC), platelet (PLT) count, and WBC differentials (neutrophils, lymphocytes, and mixed cells) were analyzed using three part full blood count autoanalyzer. The results showed that although the mean neutrophil count differed significantly (p<0.05) when compared between the groups studied, there was no statistically significant (p>0.05) difference in the mean levels of PCV, Hb, RBC, TWBC, platelet count, lymphocytes and mixed cell count when compared across and between the groups. This study revealed that Vernonia amygdalina had no negative effects on the haematological indicators studied.
