Distal biceps ruptures occur mostly in 40–60 y. o. men during rapid elbow flexion against significant external force. Clinical examination remains the mainstay of the diagnostics of the distal biceps tendon rupture (“Popeye” deformity, ecchymosis, and hook-test), ultra-sound and MR investigations may be used in doubtful cases. Non-operative treatment leads to the decrease of flexion and external rota-tion forces, thus surgical treatment is preferable in most cases. The choice of surgical approach depends on the fixation method. Transos-seous fixation with bone tunnels and two-incision technique is valid and pro-vides low level of re-ruptures with more anatomic restoration of the insertion point, but is associated with higher rate of heterotopic ossification. Newer methods of fixation (buttons, anchors, interferential screws) may allow the sin-gle approach, but not always provide anatomic reinsertion and may lead to higher rate of complications at the site of surgical approach in the elbow crease. Functional post-operative care in majority of cases leads to the restoration of range of movements at 6 weeks, and muscle forces at 12 weeks. This usually allows full restoration of the physical activity at 3 to 6 months after the sur-gery.

Published: March 2023

Abstract. Overshooting cloud tops (OTs) form in deep convective storms when strong updrafts overshoot the tropopause. An OT is a well-known indicator of convective updrafts and severe weather conditions. Here, we develop an OT detection algorithm using thermal infrared (IR) channels and apply this algorithm to about 20 years' worth of MODIS data from both Terra and Aqua satellites to form an extensive, near-global climatology of OT occurrences. The algorithm is based on a logistic model which is trained using A-Train observations. We demonstrate that the overall accuracy of our approach is about 0.9 when the probability of the OT candidates is larger than 0.9. The OT climatology reveals a pattern that follows the climatology of deep convection and shallow convection over the midlatitude oceans during winter cold-air outbreaks. OTs appear most frequently over the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), central and southeastern North America, tropical and subtropical South America, southeastern and southern Asia, tropical and subtropical Africa, and northern middle–high latitudes. OT spatial distributions show strong seasonal and diurnal variabilities. Seasonal OT variations shift with large-scale climate systems such as the ITCZ and local monsoonal systems, including the South Asian monsoon, North American monsoon, and West African monsoon. OT diurnal variations agree with the known diurnal cycle of convection. Maximum OT occurrences are in the afternoon over most land areas and around midnight over ocean, and the OT diurnal cycle is stronger and more varied over land than over ocean. OTs over land are usually colder than over ocean, except at around 10:30 LT (Equator-crossing time). The top 10 coldest OTs from both Terra and Aqua mostly occur over land and at night. This study provides OT climatology for the first time, as derived from 2 decades of MODIS data, that represents the longest and stable satellite records.

Abstract. The largest inorganic, gas-phase reservoir of chlorine
atoms in the atmosphere is hydrogen chloride (HCl), but challenges in
quantitative sampling of this compound cause difficulties for obtaining
high-quality, high-frequency measurements. In this work, tunable infrared
laser direct absorption spectroscopy (TILDAS) was demonstrated to be a
superior optical method for sensitive, in situ detection of HCl at the
2925.89645 cm−1 absorption line using a 3 µm inter-band cascade
laser. The instrument has an effective path length of 204 m, 1 Hz precision
of 7–8 pptv, and 3σ limit of detection ranging from 21 to 24 pptv. For longer
averaging times, the highest precision obtained was 0.5 pptv with a 3σ limit
of detection of 1.6 pptv at 2.4 min. HCl-TILDAS was also shown to have
high accuracy when compared with a certified gas cylinder, yielding a linear
slope within the expected 5 % tolerance of the reported cylinder
concentration (slope = 0.964 ± 0.008). The use of heated inlet lines
and active chemical passivation greatly improve the instrument response
times to changes in HCl mixing ratios, with minimum 90 % response times
ranging from 1.2 to 4.4 s depending on inlet flow rate. However, these
response times lengthened at relative humidities >50 %,
conditions under which HCl concentration standards were found to elicit a
significantly lower response (−5.8 %). The addition of high concentrations
of gas-phase nitric acid (>3.0 ppbv) were found to increase HCl
signal (<10 %), likely due to acid displacement with HCl or
particulate chloride adsorbed to inlet surfaces. The equilibrium model
ISORROPIA suggested a potential of particulate chloride partitioning into
HCl gas within the heated inlet system if allowed to thermally equilibrate,
but field results did not demonstrate a clear relationship between
particulate chloride and HCl signal obtained with a denuder installed on the inlet.
A comprehensive assessment of in situ and remote sensing soil moisture data assimilation in the APSIM model for improving agricultural forecasting across the US Midwest
Authors: Kivi Marissa , Vergopolan Noemi , Dokoohaki Hamze
Published: March 2023

Abstract. Today, the most popular approaches in agricultural forecasting leverage process-based crop models, crop monitoring data, and/or remote sensing imagery. Individually, each of these tools has its own unique advantages but is, nonetheless, limited in prediction accuracy, precision, or both. In this study we integrate in situ and remote sensing (RS) soil moisture observations with APSIM model through sequential data assimilation to evaluate the improvement in model predictions of downstream state variables across five experimental sites in the US Midwest. Four RS data products and in situ observations spanning 19 site years were used through two data assimilation approaches, namely ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) and generalized ensemble filter (GEF), to constrain model states at observed time steps and estimate joint background and observation error matrices. Then, the assimilation's impact on estimates of soil moisture, yield, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), tile drainage, and nitrate leaching was assessed across all site years. When assimilating in situ observations, the accuracy of soil moisture forecasts in the assimilation layers was improved by reducing RMSE by an average of 17 % for 10 cm and ∼28 % for 20 cm depth soil layer across all site years. These changes also led to improved simulation of soil moisture in deeper soil layers by an average of 12 %. Although crop yield was improved by an average of 23 %, the greatest improvement in yield accuracy was demonstrated in site years with higher water stress, where assimilation served to increase available soil water for crop uptake.
Alternatively, estimates of annual tile drainage and nitrate leaching were
not well constrained across the study sites. Trends in drainage constraint
suggest the importance of including additional data constraint such as
evapotranspiration. The assimilation of RS soil moisture showed a weaker
constraint of downstream model state variables when compared to the
assimilation of in situ soil moisture. The median reduction in soil moisture RMSE for observed soil layers was lower, on average, by a factor of 5. However, crop yield estimates were still improved overall with a median RMSE reduction of 17.2 %. Crop yield prediction was improved when assimilating both in situ and remote sensing soil moisture observations, and there is strong evidence that yield improvement was higher when under water-stressed conditions. Comparisons of system performance across different combinations of remote sensing data products indicated the importance of high temporal resolution and accurate observation uncertainty estimates when assimilating surface soil moisture observations.

Published: March 2023

O presente texto reúne os resultados de uma extensa pesquisa sobre o aporte teórico-metodológico proposto pelo anarquista-geógrafo francês Jean Jacques Élisée Reclus (1830 – 1905). Aqui, a tese defendida é de que há uma relação dialética entre a sua produção intelectual, com destaque à construção metodológica, e suas ações sociais como militante ácrata. Para tanto, e como recurso didático para facilitar a compreensão do leitor, o trabalho está dividido em três partes: na primeira, a partir de extensa pesquisa documental e bibliográfica, buscamos levantar e analisar fatos importantes da vida do pensador ácrata que estariam entre os delineadores de elaboração teórica, política e metodológica, fundamentais para a compreensão do seu pensamento. Em um segundo momento, busca-se compreender as premissas pelas quais seu pensamento se fundamenta, ou seja, os pressupostos que sustentam seu método geográfico. Na terceira e última parte, apresenta uma análise da proposta metodológica de Reclus, a Geografia Social, baseada na dialética evolução-revolução para a compreensão das relações homem-meio e de suas contradições.

Published: March 2023

Este artigo aborda o pensamento conservador como um movimento político e social amparado na teoria do conservadorismo. Como forma de fundamentá-la, apresentamos a sua estrutura e os seus principais pressupostos, bem como as concepções de seus principais autores e formadores, tais como Edmund Burke (clássico) e Russell Kirk (moderno-contemporâneo). A metodologia tem respaldo na imaterialidade em sua relação com a materialidade, ou seja, na dialética entre o pensamento conservador e a formação de territórios conservadores de poder, com exemplos ilustrativos do Brasil e de outros países. As teses sobre o pensamento conservador apresentam argumentos e evidências presentes em ações como as propostas do governo Donald Trump, nos EUA, do governo Jair Bolsonaro, no Brasil, e a saída do Reino Unido da União Europeia, dentre outros.
AS POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS NA INTERSECÇÃO ENTRE ESTADO E MERCADOS: VIAS PARA A CONSTRUÇÃO DO DESENVOLVIMENTO RURAL
Authors: Tavares Sodré Maiara , De Medeiros Hespanhol Rosangela Aparecida
Published: March 2023

O objetivo do artigo consiste em demonstrar que existem margens viáveis para a construção de projetos de desenvolvimento rural que se valham de pequenas lacunas na configuração do sistema econômico vigente. Defende-se a ideia de que as políticas podem atuar como instrumentos de apropriação democrática do Estado e dos mercados, favorecendo a reprodução social da agricultura familiar, segmento central na perspectiva de desenvolvimento adotada. A metodologia empregada se embasa em reflexão teórica e na realização de entrevistas com agricultores, extensionistas e gestores públicos do município de Pelotas/RS. Com base na análise do recorte empírico da pesquisa e também de outros contextos espaciais, o artigo discute exemplos do aproveitamento de instituições públicas e dos mercados que conduziram a avanços ou mitigaram problemas enfrentados por segmentos historicamente preteridos, caso da agricultura familiar no Brasil. Isso demonstra o potencial dos contextos locais de atuarem como protagonistas no enfrentamento de lógicas desiguais estruturalmente impostas. O artigo conclui que não é preciso romper com o sistema econômico para depois buscar a construção de alternativas de futuro, a multiplicidade de possibilidades abertas nos lugares pode ser o ponto inicial da construção de novos projetos de futuro.

O tráfico de drogas se estrutura tendo como um dos seus pilares a construção de cadeias logísticas multiescalares e, nesse contexto, o estado do Rio Grande do Sul ganha destaque no século XXI tendo em vista o crescimento dessa atividade por meio da ação de grupos organizados. Frente a isso, elencamos como objetivo geral da pesquisa analisar a formação de territórios-rede como estratégia de domínio espacial construída pelos coletivos criminais, buscando compreender os fluxos de entorpecentes ilícitos para o estado gaúcho. No que tange à metodologia, no primeiro momento, foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica; em seguida, optou-se pelo levantamento estatístico de indicadores criminais junto à Polícia civil e Polícia Rodoviária Federal; por fim, recorremos à ferramenta metodológica hemerográfica, a qual centra-se em pesquisa documental. Como resultados, podemos compreender que a expansão dos coletivos criminais tem como premissa a estruturação de territórios-rede por meio da inserção direta de seus representantes na fronteira entre o Brasil e o Paraguai. Além disso, observamos que após consolidado esse processo, formam-se corredores e rotas por meio de rodovias federais e estaduais no Rio Grande do Sul, principalmente, na porção noroeste que tem como objetivo distribuir e controlar o mercado regional.

A dengue é uma das principais arboviroses presente em países tropicais cujas condições ambientais e variáveis socioeconômicas favorecem sua dispersão acarretando sérios problemas de saúde pública. Lorena é um dos municípios paulistas cujo número de notificações de casos da doença tem aumentado gradativamente, somando apenas nos anos de 2019 e 2021, cerca de 7.073 casos. O principal objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar uma análise espacial da distribuição dos casos confirmados de dengue entre os anos de 2011 a 2020 no município por meio de técnicas de geoprocessamento. Para tanto, foram utilizados dados do SINAN (Sistema de Agravos e Notificações) e gerados os mapas de concentração de casos a partir da aplicação do estimador de densidade de Kernel. Os resultados indicam que a distribuição da dengue no município de Lorena não ocorreu de maneira uniforme sendo os bairros de maior concentração de casos: Cidade Industrial (2013, 2019 e 2020); Cabelinha (2013, 2016 e 2017); e Vila Hepacaré (2012, 2013 e 2020). Os resultados obtidos poderão servir de subsídio para o poder público na formulação de políticas públicas e na tomada de decisão relacionadas a vigilância epidemiológica e entomológica do município.

Published: March 2023

Several studies had explored compassion and resilience, however, most of these studies focused on the relationship between resilience and compassionate fatigue, or resilience and self-compassion.
This study aimed to determine the level of emerging resilience and level of compassion of pediatric emergency nurses while caring for COVID 19 pediatric patients and the correlation between Compassion level and Emerging Resilience of nurses.
Participants were 190 emergency nurses conducted in Pediatric Emergency Center COVID-19 facility. The study data were collected utilizing the questionnaire comprised of demographics, Compassionate Scale and Brief Resilience Scale.
Statistically significant difference was found between the age variable of the nurses and “common humanity” sub-scale as well as years in service and sub-scale “Indifference items”. There was a significant difference between the education level of the nurses and their status of showing kindness to the patients (p < .05). When the subscales were added together, there was no significant difference between the Compassionate Scale total score and the baseline characteristics of the nurses. In terms of Brief Resilience Scale, a mean score of 3.18 (±0.47) was found that showed the resilience level of the nurses as normal. Significant difference between educational status and brief resilience scale (p<.05) was found.
The level of compassion of the nurses was “moderate” and the Resilience was “normal resilient coping.” Nurses’ baseline data negatively predicted the level of compassion and the emerging resilience of Pediatric Emergency Nurses. There was no correlation between the Nurses’ Level of compassion with the Nurses’ level of resilience.

Integrating AI Applications into Learning Management Systems to Enhance e-Learning
Authors: FIRAT Mehmet
Published: March 2023

Artificial intelligence technologies have the potential to greatly enhance the organization of learning management systems and online learning experiences. In particular, the public release of OpenAI's GPT-3 model in December 2022 has given society a chance to learn more about the current status of artificial intelligence. There have been much research on the use of artificial intelligence in e-learning processes, but very few of them demonstrate how to integrate these applications step-by-step and with examples into learning management systems. This study intends to close this gap by demonstrating how artificial intelligence technologies are integrated into learning management systems using real-world examples. This study provides examples of practical applications as well as integration steps. Finally, GPT-3 plugins for Moodle are examined and sample JavaScript code is included for integrating Chat GPT into Moodle. By presenting a useful guide for integrating artificial intelligence technology into learning management systems, this work adds to the body of literature.

Published: March 2023

Cloud and edge computing, distributed AI, and most recently 5G/6G communications are coming together and changing the way we collaborate, connect and interact. A new generation of AI-powered robots are also expected to be facilitated by these digital technological breakthroughs. Robots are supposed to tackle unknown situations and adapt in the long term by collaborating, connecting and interacting with the digital world. Such applications generate versatile, perpetuated and rapidly changing transmission demands to the network. Traditional network resource management is insufficient in supporting such traffic to meet the QoS. In this paper, we go a step further, in addition to the effort on the network side for traffic engineering; we also work on the application side to shape the traffic within non-public networks. We present an initial development for the proposed intent-based deployment for robotic applications.
PHY0 network: Metasurface as PHY-beam router, is it possible? Challenges and open problems
Authors: Salah Mostafa , Abdelaziem Islam H. , Pitsillides Andreas
Published: March 2023

A software-controlled metasurface is introduced as one of the key enablers of Sixth Generation (6G) communication. Some sort of wireless channel customization/ adaptation is allowed for the first time. As an extreme case for wireless channel adaptation, environmental beam routing has emerged for guiding Electromagnetic (EM) wireless transmission through multiple Reconfigured Intelligent Surfaces (RISs). This gives rise to instituting a new form of a physical networking layer (PHY0) that is hardly explored. Furthermore, there is a knowledge gap in the definition, functionalities, and limitations of the metasurface as a beam router. So, in this paper, we are aiming at highlighting the birth of a new physical layer networking technology. The environmental routing concept is introduced as an optimal wireless channel adaptation through "Open-air EM Guiding". Furthermore, the definition and functionality of RIS as an EM beam router are put forward as an ideal model. The limitations facing RIS in simulating the beam routing role are explored from the communication system viewpoint along with reviewing the state-of-the-art solutions resolving these limitations. Physicists and material engineers are motivated for providing better solutions for these challenges.

This study intends to conceptualize the conglomeration of cultures between the villagers of a Zambian community and the missionary-educators. With the missionary-educators extending their activities in the village for more than a decade, the village people were positively responding. Thus, there was a gradual cultural adaptation. With the constant challenges in basic needs, language -communication between missionary educators and the villagers, cultural differences, and education. The missionary educators strategically intervened the incumbent lives of the villagers in order to update them with the world trends. The activities and effort of the missionary educators were designed formally through projects and programs intervention. The researchers conceptualized the theoretical abstract of the merging cultural practices between villagers and the missionary-educators. Though strategically intentional programmed and created, the missionary learned and the adapted particular cultures of the villagers which maximize their realization about cross-culture.
Justice and equity approaches to college and university student food (in)security: Introduction to the special section
Authors: Budowle Rachael , Porter Christine , McLennan Caitlin
Published: March 2023

According to myriad studies, college and university student food insecurity is a pervasive and systemic problem. Most show that nearly half of college and university students experience food insecurity (Breuning et al., 2017; Broton, 2020; Nazmi, 2019). As defined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), food insecurity is the “limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate and safe foods, or limited or uncertain ability to acquire acceptable foods in socially acceptable ways” (USDA Economic Research Service, 2022, para. 3). The experience of food insecurity, however, manifests in various ways for students, including the actuality of being hungry, not having enough food, consuming poor-quality food, rationing, embarrassment and stigma, and consistent worry and fear about accessing their next meal (Henry, 2020). . . .
From food access to food sovereignty: Striving to meet university student needs

Published: March 2023

The ongoing neoliberalization of higher education has meant that college and university students at state institutions face declining state support for their education, increasing debt, precarious post-graduation job opportunities, and a dominant cul­tural emphasis on personal responsibility rather than collective care. These neoliberal conditions exacerbate structural inequities (along various axes, including race, economic status, disability, etc.) within student populations. This paper explores two aspects of inequity in food insecurity among students: specific challenges and inequities students face by virtue of their position as college students, and intersectional inequities faced by some stu­dents by virtue of other identities to which they belong. This paper presents findings from two research efforts at Western Washington University, a public university in the USA Pacific Northwest. First, we share findings from a 2018 qualitative, interview-based study of food-insecure students on the campus. We then draw from our experiences as practitioners and present critical reflections on our own campus food security efforts, differentiating between those that address food security (access), food justice, and food sovereignty. Our findings from the qualitative study suggest that students feel a sense of personal responsibility for their food insecurity, and that food-insecure students both rely on social networks for support and feel stigma­tized by their food insecurity. Our critical reflec­tions on campus programs reveal that most of the traditional food security efforts (e.g. emergency aid, food pantries) neglect to either effectively support BIPOC students and others most affected by food insecurity, or provide a sustained community-support mechanism for food-insecure students in general. We position food sovereignty-oriented programs as a way forward in addressing the inter­sectional inequities faced by students, and also in bolstering communities of support.

This ethnographic research explores the meaning and experiences of food insecurity among LGBTQIA+ college students to understand how identity might play a role in those experiences. We offer research-informed recommendations that stu­dent-serving programs could implement to increase accessibility and inclusivity for LGBTQIA+ students to reduce food insecurity. The study was conducted at a large, public, Tier 1 research univer­sity in North Texas. We used purposive sampling and recruited participants through emails and class announcements. We conducted 22 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with students who identified as LGBTQIA+. LGBTQIA+ students do not ini­tially associate their food insecurity with their LGBTQIA+ identity, and many of their experi­ences are similar to non-LGBTQIA+ students. However, ongoing homophobia, stigma, and dis­crimination against people who identify as LGBTQIA+ can add additional anxiety and chal­lenges that influence their experiences in ways that are different from non-LGBTQIA+ students. LGBTQIA+ students are at greater risk of losing family support, are more likely to seek emotional support from peers, and have increased anxiety about responses to their identity, which can affect their willingness to seek resources. Our results indi­cate that food insecurity has an emotional, mental, and physical impact on students, which impacts their academic success. As universities strive to be more welcoming to LGBTQIA+ students, we rec­ommend services that will build community, create safe spaces, and strengthen trust for students to have a positive college experience.

Authors: K Lemhouer  , J Elamouri  , S Adadi  , Z.Tlamcani
Published: March 2023

Introduction: Candidemia are yeast infections of the candida type that are relatively common in intensive care and are burdened with a high mortality rate that has not decreased for decades. The aim of this work is to determine the frequency of candidaemia and to identify the epidemiological profile of the Candida species most implicated in these infections. Materials and methods: This is a descriptive retrospective study over a period of 5 years and 7 months, spanning from January 2017 to July 2022, and involving all blood cultures of patients hospitalized at the CHU Hassan II in Fez. The samples were inoculated into Mycosis IC/F bottles and incubated for 7 days in the BD Bactec® automaton. 37°C. The identification of yeasts was based on morphological, phenotypic, biochemical and sometimes immunological criteria. This identification is followed by the realization of an antifungigram. Results: During the study period, 145 blood cultures were performed, 42 of which were positive for candida. 69% of patients were hospitalized in intensive care. The female sex (52.3%) was more affected than the male sex (47.6%) with an average age of 31 years. The frequency of candidaemia is estimated at 28.9%. They were mainly caused by Candida non albicans (64.2%) including Candida glabrata 33.3%, Candida tropicalis 29.6%, Candida parapsilosis 20%, Candida krusei 18.5% and Candida lusitaniae 3.7%. While Candida albicans was positive in 15 patients. Sensitivity to amphotericin B and fluconazole was 89% and 70% respectively. Conclusion: Candidemia is a frequently fatal opportunistic infection. The proper use of antifungals is essential to better understand changes in the distribution of Candida species and limit the emergence of resistance

UNESCO practices under the SDG4 and COVID-19 response framework: Topic modeling from 2003 to 2021
Authors: Park Kyung Hee , Liu Qi , Li He
Published: March 2023

This study focused on the impacts of COVID-19 on SDG4 to resolve inequality through education and explored UNESCO's educational practices. We used text mining to analyze strategic and crisis-related reports published by UNESCO from 2003 to 2021 and LDA topic modeling analysis was used to determine their latent contexts. Two topics related to education strategies were 'sustainable development' and 'system and organization'. According to the themes, non-formal, formal and informal learning and skills and TVET topics were derived for lifelong learning, school and teacher, emergency and peace, policy and framework in the theme of crisis and conflict. Finally, latent topics during each MDGs, SDGs and COVID-19 period showed insignificant changes. However, compared to before the 2014 MDGs, strategic discourses tended to be discussed in detail. Moreover, we noted the change in global discourse from globalization to digital innovation. After the pandemic, the international community has emphasized the role of teachers and improved internet access for interaction. Such recommendations were intended to bridge the gap between countries including developing countries. As an alternative, UNESCO has suggested various partnership practices but there are nevertheless limitations that cannot be solved through a partnership or educational support. Therefore, reaching SDG4 requires global efforts to change the world by coordinating specific target countries and various social factors surrounding the countries' interior and exterior.
Gastronomic experiences on tourists’ life satisfaction and happiness: The case of Porto
Authors: Rodrigues Paula , Borges Ana , Vieira Elvira
Published: March 2023

The tourists' gastronomic experiences are important in developing a destination branding strategy, especially if this translates into greater happiness and tourists' life satisfaction. We intend to study the influence of five gastronomic/food experience variables on the tourists’ life satisfaction and happiness. After inquiring 352 tourists in Porto, the data were analysed through SEM and SPSS/AMOS software. The results validate the hypotheses concerning refreshment and hedonic/novelty experiences, which improve tourists’ satisfaction and happiness. The adverse experiences reduce the tourists' happiness, and lastly, tourists' life satisfaction with the gastronomic/food experience improves their happiness. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Il gamos proibito. Persistenza di un modello culturale in Diogene Laerzio (III 2)
Authors: Fermi Damiano
Published: March 2023

L’esame di un passo della Vita di Platone laerziana (III 2) – e di luoghi paralleli riferibili alla medesima tradizione – permette di mettere a fuoco un motivo mitico cruciale nei racconti sulla concorrenza tra essere umano e divinità nel gamos con una mortale: il divieto, che il nume impone al ‘rivale’ di inferiore natura, di congiungersi con la donna che reca in grembo il suo seme, finché l’eroina non abbia portato a termine la gravidanza. Le storie di personaggi femminili colpevoli di duplice gamos – prima con il dio e poi, a breve distanza di tempo, con il mortale – si focalizzano sulle conseguenze nefaste del secondo contaminante connubio: uno per tutti il caso di Coronide madre di Asclepio (e forse il motivo era associato anche ad altre note madri mitiche, come Arianna, Semele e Alcmena). In questi esempi, tuttavia, in genere non è esplicitato il tema della proibizione divina, come invece accade nel bios di Diogene Laerzio. Qui infatti Apollo, dopo aver concepito Platone con Perictione, appare ad Aristone per vietargli il rapporto sessuale con la parthenos.
