L’Épître aux Pisons dans le corpus des oeuvres d’Horace : données pratiques et enjeux interprétatifs
Authors: Glinatsis Robin
Published: March 2024

L’habitude prise par la tradition critique, dès l’Antiquité, de qualifier le texte d’Horace d’Ars poetica n’appelle apparemment pas de remise en cause. Il suffit, pourtant, d’examiner quelques paramètres entourant la composition et la réception de l’oeuvre pour établir qu’il s’agit d’une fausse certitude. Le titre, le positionnement au sein du corpus horatien, la datation ou encore l’identité des destinataires n’ont pas été arrêtés de manière définitive et ont fait l’objet de conjectures diverses. Sur la base de ces données sujettes à la variabilité, la présente étude se propose de dévoiler une voie interprétative privilégiant l’aspect épistolaire du texte, parfois négligé au profit d’une approche qui en ferait un pur et simple traité de poésie.
Portrait d’un historien à son écritoire : méthode historique et technique du livre chez Diodore de Sicile
Authors: Cohen-Skalli Aude
Published: March 2024

In the proem of his Bibliotheca historica, Diodorus builds up the ethos of an assiduous reader. Reading anew some parts of the Bibliotheca historica allows to make some hypotheses about his work in libraries and about the bibiographical notes he offers the reader. It also allows to appreciate the way Diodorus makes the division in books and the table of contents and conclusions opening and closing each βίβλος match the requirements related to the book shape. These clues reflect how constantly careful of preserving his text’s integrity the historian is.
Le mois macédonien Αὐδναῖος et les fêtes d’hiver pour Perséphone *Ἀϝ(ι)δνά «Invisible», «Obscure»
Authors: Alonso Deniz Alcorac
Published: March 2024

D’après l’hypothèse dominante, le nom du troisième mois du calendrier macédonien, Αὐδναῖος, dont les sources anciennes attestent de nombreuses variantes, proviendrait de * Ἀ(ϝ) ιδωναῖος « d’Aïdôneus » , adjectif dérivé de Ἀϊδωνεύς, l’une des dénominations homériques d’Hadès. * Ἀ(ϝ) ιδωναῖος aurait connu ensuite plusieurs évolutions phonologiques qui caractérisent les parlers des régions du nord de la Grèce. Or, l’étymologie et le développement proposés se heurtent à des obstacles linguistiques insurmontables, et sont infirmés par la

distribution chronologique et géographique des variantes du mènonyme. Cet article présente une nouvelle interprétation des données, en postulant qu’à l’origine de Αὐδναῖος se trouverait * Ἀϝ(ι) δνά « Invisible » ou « Obscure » , une épiclèse de Perséphone, que les Macédoniens auraient honorée, ainsi que Déméter, par une fête annuelle se déroulant au début de l’hiver.
Dalla calligrafia alla letteratura: schegge di esametri latini in un’esercitazione scrittoria d’Egitto
Authors: Scappaticcio Maria Chiara
Published: March 2024

La publication d’une nouvelle édition d’un fragment d’un exercice de calligraphie en latin, en provenance d’Egypte, et datant du premier siècle ap. J-C. (P. Mich. VII 459, in ZPE 2020), a permis d’identifier deux séquences textuelles. Ces deux fragments hexamétriques ne peuvent avec certitude être rattachés à un texte ou même à un auteur connu, mais semblent toutefois appartenir au genre épique. Le premier fragment consiste en une invocation à Jupiter (Iuppiter omnipotens). Le deuxième est un adjectif rarissime, auricomus/ lauricomus. Sans prétendre à une paternité certaine, ces deux possibles fragments d’hexamètres latins peuvent enrichir la collection des Fragmenta poetarum Latinorum anonymes.
EXPLORING ISLAMIC HISTORY IN THE DIGITAL AGE THROUGH VIDEO GAMES: AN INTRODUCTORY ANALYSIS WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF KNIGHTS OF THE LIGHT
Authors: Yılmaz Halil İbrahim
Published: March 2024

This article analyses the computer game ‘Knights of the Light: The Prologue,’ which focuses on a theme from the early periods of Islamic history, and evaluates its role in the teaching and learning Islamic history. The game centres around the Battle of Qādisiyya (15/636), a critical juncture during one of the significant milestones for Muslims in their struggle against the Sassanids, marking a pivotal moment in the early Islamic conquests. Commanders Qaʿqāʿ b. ʿAmr and his brother ʿĀṣim b. ʿAmr, who played crucial roles in the events leading up to the eradication of the Sassanids from the historical stage, are the primary figures in this game. Despite encountering some technical flaws and receiving unfavourable feedback from players, the game’s commendable effort to adhere to historical data and accurately present the conditions of that period deserves recognition. In this regard, the game becomes the focal point of this article concerning the instruction and education of Islamic history. Factors such as the prominence of learning materials through computer games, the vivid portrayal of historical events, and the encouragement of students to delve into more profound research, as exemplified by this game, suggest the effectiveness of such games as valuable tools in the education of Islamic history.

Ferrous Selenide Stabilized Black Phosphorus Heterojunction Sonosensitizer for MR Imaging-Guided Sonodynamic Therapy of Bladder Cancer
Authors: Wu Sicheng , Li Guanlin , Ouyang Wenrui , Tian Yuan , Li Shujue , Wu Wenqi , Liu Hongxing
Published: March 2024

It is urgent to develop an alternative dynamic therapy-based method to overcome the limited efficacy of traditional therapy methods for bladder cancer and the damage caused to patients. Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has the advantages of high tissue penetration, high spatiotemporal selectivity, and being non-invasive, representing an emerging method for eradicating deep solid tumors. However, the effectiveness of SDT is often hindered by the inefficient production of reactive oxygen species and the nondegradability of the sonosensitizer. To improve the anti-tumor effect of SDT on bladder cancer, herein, a BP-based heterojunction sonosensitizer (BFeSe
2
) was synthesized by anchoring FeSe
2
onto BP via P–Se bonding to enhance the stability and the effect of SDT. As a result, BFeSe
2
showed great cytotoxicity to bladder cancer cells under ultrasound (US) irradiation. BFeSe
2
led to a notable inhibition effect on tumor growth in subcutaneous tumor models and orthotopic tumor models under US irradiation. In addition, BFeSe
2
could also enhance T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to achieve monitoring and guide treatment of bladder cancer. In general, BFeSe
2
sonosensitizer integrates MRI functions for precise treatment, promising great clinical potential for the theranostics of bladder cancer.
Broad-spectrum foodways in the context of East Asian Neolithic period
Authors:   The hoseo Archaeological Society, Kwak Seungki
Published: March 2024

This study attempts to understand the role of Broad-Spectrum Revolution (hereafter, BSR) in the Neolithic East Asia, especially focusing on the China, Japanese archipelago, and Korean peninsula. This paper also tried to reveal how BSR and the initial beginning of plant domestication are related in those contexts. Initially introduced in 1969 by Kent Flannery, the concept quickly became a powerful explanatory tool for understanding prehistoric human subsistence strategy and emergence of both plant and animal domestication. BSR has been often conjoined with theoretical frameworks such as diet-breath model based on optimal foraging theory and environmental niche construction to explain prehistoric subsistence pattern. In this study, I tried to synthesize recent evidence regarding Neolithic subsistence generated from advanced techniques including organic residue analysis and paleoethnobotany. The results indicated that BSR was clearly found at least in some part of East Asia, and some of them showed evidence of initial plant domestication. With this study, we were able assume affinity between BSR and the beginning of plant domestication in certain area of East Asia.

Investigating the Use of Bed-Time Stories and Moodle in EFL Classes: Attitudes, Benefits and Challenges
Authors: GLIOUINE BADR , Zaidoune Said
Published: March 2024

This study scrutinizes the effectiveness and the feasibility of an EFL story-based textbook supported by a Moodle platform in Moroccan high schools. Along with the use of Moodle as the learning management system, this study uses a story-based approach in foreign language teaching/learning. Before designing this story-based textbook, the researcher investigated the Moroccan EFL context to be more practical and the textbook stands on a solid ground by having an added value not just being repetitive. Therefore, a quantitative study was conducted to collect up-to-date data and see (a) whether stories are already used or not in Moroccan EFL classes (b) the benefits and challenges, if any, stories can have according to these teachers (c) some of the most challenging obstacles behind not using stories in Moroccan EFL classrooms. To answer these questions, a questionnaire was administered to 100 EFL teachers from Casablanca. The data collected through the questionnaire revealed that most informants appreciated the use of stories in EFL classes. Additionally, most of them perceive the story-based approach as a useful tool to help students develop language skills. To conclude, these findings suggest that stories help in boosting students’ motivation, retention, and thus developing language proficiency. The findings also provided some solutions to teachers’ common challenges while using stories.
A Spectral Extremal Problem on Non-Bipartite Triangle-Free Graphs
Authors: Li Yongtao , Feng Lihua , Peng Yuejian
Published: March 2024

A theorem of Nosal and Nikiforov states that if $G$ is a triangle-free graph with $m$ edges, then $\lambda(G)\le \sqrt{m}$, equality holds if and only if $G$ is a complete bipartite graph. A well-known spectral conjecture of Bollobás and Nikiforov [J. Combin. Theory Ser. B 97 (2007)] asserts that if $G$ is a $K_{r+1}$-free graph with $m$ edges, then $\lambda_1^2(G) + \lambda_2^2(G) \le (1-\frac{1}{r})2m$. Recently, Lin, Ning and Wu [Combin. Probab. Comput. 30 (2021)] confirmed the conjecture in the case $r=2$. Using this base case, they proved further that $\lambda (G)\le \sqrt{m-1}$ for every non-bipartite triangle-free graph $G$, with equality if and only if $m=5$ and $G=C_5$. Moreover, Zhai and Shu [Discrete Math. 345 (2022)] presented an improvement by showing $\lambda (G) \le \beta (m)$, where $\beta(m)$ is the largest root of $Z(x):=x^3-x^2-(m-2)x+m-3$. The equality in Zhai--Shu's result holds only if $m$ is odd and $G$ is obtained from the complete bipartite graph $K_{2,\frac{m-1}{2}}$ by subdividing exactly one edge. Motivated by this observation, Zhai and Shu proposed a question to find a sharp bound when $m$ is even. We shall solve this question by using a different method and characterize three kinds of spectral extremal graphs over all triangle-free non-bipartite graphs with even size. Our proof technique is mainly based on applying Cauchy's interlacing theorem of eigenvalues of a graph, and with the aid of a triangle counting lemma in terms of both eigenvalues and the size of a graph.

Factors Affecting Teaching and Learning of Religious and Moral Education (RME) in Ghanaian Junior High Schools: A Case Study of C. B. Mensah SDA Junior High School
Authors: Boafo Collins , Konadu Adam , Twene Charles Kofi
Published: March 2024

Religious and Moral Education (RME) has caught the attention and interest of Ghanaians from the past to our contemporary times. The subject seeks to enforce knowledge and values capable of making individuals responsible and resourceful members of society. In current times characterized by moral decadence, the need for religious and moral education has become a necessity. To realize the communal hope of making RME a lucrative and highly patronized course or subject in the education system in Ghana, it is necessary to look at the factors that affect the teaching and learning of RME in the country. This paper therefore sought to find out the significant factors that affect the teaching and learning of RME and the means to address such issues. A mixed approach was adopted in gathering the data from the C. B. Mensah Adventist Junior High School in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. The study revealed that the RME curriculum is facing some difficulties in Ghana. These include scarcity of textbooks and shortage of professional teachers in the subject area. The study recommended that the government, and other stakeholders involved in or patronizing education, should collaborate in addressing the challenges and implement sustainable measures for enhancing the teaching and learning of RME in Ghana. The study is relevant for teachers and learners alike because it contributes to knowledge development by serving as secondary material for future research and policymaking. It also serves as insight for the government, parents, teachers, religious bodies, educationists, counselors and other stakeholders in the educational sector.

Sor Juana and Elvira Sastre – Ecological Advocacy and the Female Voice as Witness in Patronage Economies
Authors: EVANS LOUISE
Published: March 2024

Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz is frequently hailed as Latin America’s first feminist, in whose writing activism and art converge to advocate for education for all. Throughout her literary corpus, knowledge is connected with light and divinity, and one’s connection with the natural world further strengthens a philosophical relationship with God. In Sor Juana’s writing, the destruction of the land in post-Conquest Latin America becomes an assault on the self, where the poetic voice both observes and critiques ecological and patriarchal violence. In the modern day, the social media platform Instagram is employed by a new generation of Spanish poets for the publication and promotion of their work. Elvira Sastre engages with rhetoric surrounding the climate crisis whilst negotiating her personal expression through representation of the body as Earth. Again, by observing the literal destruction of the Earth, Sastre’s poetic voice rises above this violence, self-fashioning as an advocate for change. This paper therefore explores ecological advocacy in both female authors’ work and positions, underscoring how they both use their positions as writers within their respective creative patronage economies to reconcile (male) violence with the female voice.
What Is Missing from the Local Stellar Halo?
Authors: Sharpe Katherine , Naidu Rohan P. , Conroy Charlie
Published: March 2024

The Milky Way’s stellar halo, which extends to >100 kpc, encodes the evolutionary history of our Galaxy. However, most studies of the halo to date have been limited to within a few kiloparsecs of the Sun. Here, we characterize differences between this local halo and the stellar halo in its entirety. We construct a composite stellar halo model by combining observationally motivated N-body simulations of the Milky Way’s nine most massive disrupted dwarf galaxies that account for almost all of the mass in the halo. We find that (i) the representation by mass of different dwarf galaxies in the local halo compared to the whole halo can be significantly overestimated (e.g., the Helmi streams) or underestimated (e.g., Cetus) and (ii) properties of the overall halo (e.g., net rotation) inferred via orbit integration of local halo stars are significantly biased because, for example, highly retrograde debris from Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus is missing from the local halo. Therefore, extrapolations from the local to the global halo should be treated with caution. From analysis of a sample of 11 Milky Way–like simulated halos, we contextualize these results and identify a population of recently accreted (≲5 Gyrs) and disrupted galaxies on high-angular-momenta orbits that are entirely missing from local samples and likely awaiting discovery in the outer halo. Our results motivate the need for surveys of halo stars extending out to the Galaxy’s virial radius.
Plumes of Water Ice/Gas Mixtures Observed in the Lunar Polar Region

Published: March 2024

The presence of water condensation in the lunar polar region has been reported. However, the origin and amount of water remain unknown, and information on the migration mechanism of water is key for understanding the delivery of water to the Earth–Moon system. We herein report the first identification of the migration process observed as localized and condensed plumes of water ice/gas mixtures ejected from the lunar surface to space in the polar region based on spectral data derived by SELENE/Kaguya. We identified water and other volatile absorption in 10,200 spectra at the nonpermanent shadowed region during the nighttime when no illumination reached the lunar surface, while nearly horizontal solar light at these regions could illuminate the sky. Ray-tracing analyses suggested that the majority of the observed volatile signal did not come from the lunar surface but from the sky (space). The majority of the identified plumes were observed at or near the hydrogen distribution reported previously. Volatile materials were repeatedly identified in some locations and most of the plume events did not coincide with the major meteoroid streams. Rather, more signals were identified during the winter season in each pole. The timing, duration, location, and temperature simulations all suggest that impact events cannot be their main origin, but rather the volatile sublimation from the subsurface (∼10 cm depth). Overall, it was revealed that the lunar polar region is active in terms of volatile migration, which is significant for understanding water delivery to the Earth–Moon system.
Solar Wind Density and Core Temperature Derived from the PSP Quasi-thermal Noise Measurements
Authors: Zheng Xianming , Liu Kaijun , Martinović Mihailo M. , Pierrard Viviane , Liu Mingzhe , He Qingbao , Cheng Kun , Liu Yuqi , Wang Yan
Published: March 2024

Quasi-thermal noise (QTN) spectroscopy is a valuable method to deduce important parameters in space plasma, such as plasma density and temperature, especially when direct particle measurements are not available. The present study develops a new fitting method to fit the QTN spectra observed by the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) with a comprehensive theoretical QTN spectral model. By combining the steepest descent and Levenberg–Marquardt algorithms, the new method is more flexible with initial guess values but still yields reliable solar wind electron density and temperature values. The new method is applied to derive the solar wind density and core temperature from the QTN measurements during 10 encounters of PSP. The electron density and temperature values obtained vary with the radial distance from the Sun as n

e
∝ r
−2.12 and T

e
∝ r
−0.71, both of which are consistent with existing models and previous results.
Upper Limits on the Radio Pulses from Magnetars and a Central Compact Object with FAST
Authors: Lu Wan-Jin , Zhou Ping , Wang Pei , Shao Yi-Xuan , Li Xiang-dong , Vink Jacco , Li Di , Chen Yang
Published: March 2024

Magnetars and central compact objects (CCOs) are subgroups of neutron stars that show a number of properties distinguished from canonical radio pulsars. We performed radio observations of three magnetars, SGR 0418+5729, 1E 2259+586, and 4U 0142+61, and a CCO, PSR J1852+0040, with the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope at 1.25 GHz, aiming to search for radio pulsations in their quiescent states. During two observation epochs, no radio pulses have been detected toward any target above a significance of signal-to-noise ratio = 7 from either the direct folding or blind search. We provided the most stringent upper limit of radio flux (≲2–4 μJy) for the magnetars and the CCO. For the magnetars with long periods, the real upper limits are likely 1 order of magnitude larger due to the red noise. The deep radio observations suggest that these magnetars and the CCO are indeed radio-quiet sources or unfavorably beamed.
Detecting the Effect of Nonthermal Sources on the Warm-hot Galactic Halo
Authors: Das Sanskriti
Published: March 2024

We report the first detection of nonthermal broadening of O vii lines in the warm-hot ≈106 K circumgalactic medium of the Milky Way. We use z = 0 absorption of O vii Kα, O vii Kβ, and O viii Kα lines in archival grating data of b > 15° quasar sightlines from Chandra and XMM-Newton. Nonthermal line broadening is evident in two-thirds of the sightlines considered, and on average is constrained at 4.6σ significance. Nonthermal line broadening dominates over thermal broadening. We extensively test whether the appearance of nonthermal line broadening could instead be because of multiple thermally broadened velocity components and robustly rule it out. Nonthermal line broadening is more evident toward sightlines at lower galactic latitude indicating the Galactic disk origin of the nonthermal sources. There is weak/no correlation between nonthermal line broadening and the angular separation of sightlines from the Galactic center, indicating that the nuclear region might not be a major source of nonthermal factors.

Built for Advocacy
Authors: Adcock Gale
Published: March 2024

Advocacy is a lever for positive change and is most effective and satisfying when used proactively. It is also one of nurses’ superpowers and desperately needed outside health care settings, especially in the policy arenas of local, state, and federal government. Despite nurses’ being the largest segment of the health care workforce, their voices are often missing from crucial conversations about access to care, health inequities, and upstream problems affecting people’s health. Short of being the policy makers themselves, the best way for nurses to affect these decisions is to build and use influence with policy makers. There are concrete steps that nurses can take to grab a seat at the table.
Quality of life and well-being of dermatology patients: Influence of associated anxiety and depression in relation to satisfaction of care
Authors: Mohapatra Prasanta , Sahu Piyush , Mohapatra Ankita , Kar Nilamadhab
Published: March 2024

Background:

Many patients attending dermatology clinics have mental health problems which may affect their well-being.

Aims:

It was intended to study the influence of anxiety and depression on well-being and quality of life (QOL) in relation to satisfaction of dermatological care in an out-patient setting.

Materials and Methods:

In a cross-sectional study, dermatological patients were assessed for well-being (WHO-5 Well-Being scale), overall QOL, anxiety (General Anxiety Disorder, GAD-7), and depression (Patient health questionnaire, PHQ-9). Satisfaction of care in the dermatology clinic (1: not at all satisfied to 10: very satisfied) and the likelihood of recommending it (1: not at all likely to 10: very likely) were assessed on a 1 to 10 scale. Demographic and clinical variables were also collected.

Results:

The sample (n = 150) covered a range of dermatological diagnoses including allergy/eczema (53.3%), inflammatory/infective diseases (19.3%), sexually transmitted diseases (10.0%), psycho-somatic diseases (9.3%), and auto-immune diseases (7.3%). A clinically relevant level (moderate degree or above) of depression (12.7%) and anxiety (8.0%) was present in considerable proportions of patients, suggesting that overall 18.7% of patients had anxiety, depression, or both. The satisfaction and recommendation scores were at an appreciable level; however, they did not influence the anxiety and depression scores. Anxiety and depression were negatively correlated with well-being and overall QOL.

Conclusion:

Anxiety and depression present in a considerable proportion of dermatological patients significantly impaired their well-being and QOL despite high satisfaction and likelihood of recommendation of care in the dermatology clinic. Identifying and supporting psychiatric problems of dermatological patients are needed.
Identification of the Role of Mume fructus in Treating Nocturnal Asthma Based on Network Pharmacology and In vitro Investigation

Published: March 2024

Objective:

Mume fructus is commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat nocturnal asthma symptoms. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying its effects on nocturnal asthma have not yet been established. This study evaluated the therapeutic mechanisms of Mume fructus in treating nocturnal asthma.

Materials and Methods:

Network pharmacology was used to investigate the chemical composition, critical targets, and potential mechanisms of action of Mume fructus in treating nocturnal asthma. “Mume fructus” and “nocturnal asthma” were used as keywords to search the relevant databases. The 16HBE and RAW264.7 cells were treated with various concentrations of Mume fructus and lipopolysaccharides (LPSs). Data provided included analyses of cell viability detected by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide, cell proliferation and apoptosis detected by 5-ethynyl-2’-deoxyuridine and Hoechst 33342, messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) levels obtained by real-time polymerase chain reaction, and protein expression detected by Western blotting. Additionally, immunofluorescence was used to detect nuclear translocation.

Results:

Network pharmacology analyses were mainly enriched in nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, and interleukin (IL)-6. Mume fructus and LPS had no effect on viability, proliferation, and apoptosis in 16HBE and RAW264.7 cells under certain concentration conditions. Mume fructus counteracted LPS-stimulated mRNA and protein expression of IL-6. In addition, Mume fructus treatment prevented the LPS-induced phosphorylation of NF-κB and MAPK pathways, as well as the nuclear translocation of NF-κB p-p65 in the 16HBE and RAW264.7 cells.

Conclusions:

Mume fructus can treat nocturnal asthma by regulating the NF-κB and MAPK pathways and counteracting IL-6 expression. These findings provide a scientific basis for the use of Mume fructus in the treatment of nocturnal asthma.

Lattice points in slices of prisms
Authors: Ferroni Luis , McGinnis Daniel
Published: March 2024

We conduct a systematic study of the Ehrhart theory of certain slices of rectangular prisms. Our polytopes are generalizations of the hypersimplex and are contained in the larger class of polypositroids introduced by Lam and Postnikov; moreover, they coincide with polymatroids satisfying the strong exchange property up to an affinity. We give a combinatorial formula for all the Ehrhart coefficients in terms of the number of weighted permutations satisfying certain compatibility properties. This result proves that all these polytopes are Ehrhart positive. Additionally, via an extension of a result by Early and Kim, we give a combinatorial interpretation for all the coefficients of the$h^*$-polynomial. All of our results provide a combinatorial understanding of the Hilbert functions and theh-vectors of all algebras of Veronese type, a problem that had remained elusive up to this point. A variety of applications are discussed, including expressions for the volumes of these slices of prisms as weighted combinations of Eulerian numbers; some extensions of Laplace’s result on the combinatorial interpretation of the volume of the hypersimplex; a multivariate generalization of the flag Eulerian numbers and refinements; and a short proof of the Ehrhart positivity of the independence polytope of all uniform matroids.
