Domestic Religion in the Southern Levant: A Material Religion Approach
Authors: Smoak Jeremy D.
Published: October 2022

The present study examines how a material religion approach might be applied meaningfully to the study of domestic religion in the southern Levant. Despite the abundant material evidence from the archaeological record, locating religion in the house continues to pose certain challenges, in terms of both definition and visibility. We see in past studies that much of the larger effort of studying the material culture rests in attempts to explain how materials reflect religious belief or to determine functional meanings. This is particularly the case in the study of those remains from domestic contexts, which are often interpreted as a way to understand how the beliefs and practices of non-official religion differed from that of the picture of belief in the textual evidence. A material religions approach, however, challenges this tendency by arguing that materials should not be interpreted primarily as reflections or expressions of beliefs or ideas. For this reason, the present study gives priority of focus to the many things of religion that have been uncovered in domestic spaces and spaces connected to the lifecycle of the household. This approach also challenges a picture of domestic religion that overemphasizes the walls as boundaries of the house since an emphasis upon food, drink, incense, etc. points to the house’s relationship with and the household’s dependence upon the family field, the natural landscape, and larger networks of sustenance and exchange.

Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is the most common acquired autoimmune bleeding disorder. Abnormally increased levels of High Mobility Group Box 1 (HMGB1) protein associate with thrombocytopenia and therapeutic outcome in ITP. Previous studies proposed that a natural inhibitor of HMGB1, 18β-glycyrrhetinic acid (18β-GA), could be used for its anti-inflammatory and immune-modulatory effects, although its ability to correct immune balance in ITP is unclear. In this study, we showed that plasma HMGB1 correlated negatively with platelet counts in ITP patients, and confirmed that 18β-GA stimulated the production of regulatory T cells (Treg), restored the balance of CD4+ T-cell subsets and enhanced the suppressive function of Treg through blocking the effect on HMGB1 in patients with ITP. HMGB1 short hairpin RNA interference masked the effect of 18β-GA in Treg of ITP patients. Furthermore, we found that 18β-GA alleviated thrombocytopenia in mice with ITP. Briefly, anti-CD61 immune-sensitized splenocytes were transferred into severe combined immunodeficient mice to induce a murine model of severe ITP. The proportion of circulating Treg increased significantly, while the level of plasma HMGB1 and serum antiplatelet antibodies decreased significantly in ITP mice along 18β-GA treatment. In addition, 18β-GA reduced phagocytic activity of macrophages towards platelets both in ITP patients and ITP mice. These results indicate that 18β-GA has the potential to restore immune balance in ITP via inhibition of HMGB1 signaling. In short, this study reveals the role of HMGB1 in ITP, which may serve as a potential target for thrombocytopenia therapy.

Authors: Khatun Maksuda , Hossain Moinuddin , Sultana Dahlia , Islam Mohammad Ariful , Hossain Mohammad Afjal
Published: October 2022

Background: COPD is one of the most widespread noncommunicable diseases, and its incidence is on the rise in developing countries. Acute COPD exacerbation is linked to a higher financial burden on the health system, as well as a negative impact on patients’ health in terms of lost working days, functional capacity, and mortality. COPD exacerbation is characterized by a worsening of symptoms such as cough and dyspnea, as well as a considerable risk of type-II respiratory failure. An understanding of the symptoms and signs, as well as the causes linked to acute COPD exacerbation in our population, is thought to aid in the prevention of such exacerbations, reducing the burden on patients and the community.
Aim: This study is meant to bring forth the clinical profile and variables related with acute exacerbation of COPD among our community, taking into account the specific symptoms preceding an exacerbation of COPD and the variety of factors associated with it in different parts of the world. This study characterizes the clinical signs and symptoms of COPD acute exacerbations, as well as investigates the involvement of a respiratory tract infection in COPD exacerbation establishing a relationship between smoking and COPD exacerbation.
Method: This is a hospital-based cross-sectional observational study. The study was conducted at the Dhaka Medical College Hospital’s Department of Medicine (DMCH). A method of purposive sampling was applied. The study took place from November 2012 until June 2013. The sample size computed for this study is 75.
Result: Age above 7th decade increases mortality risk by 2.32 times. Meanwhile, comorbidity, low BMI (<18.5 kg/m2), smoking and frequent acute exacerbation increases risk by 1.29 times, 1.16 times, 0.03 times and by 2.07 times respectively in patients having COPD.
Conclusion: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is more frequent in the 6th decade of life and is male predominant. Recovery period has been found longer in the presence of dyspnea or symptoms of a common cold at exacerbations onset, higher PaCO2 and lower pH has been found in the patients admitted in ICU. Low BMI, RTI, Smoking and Comorbidity are more frequent in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Existent Malignant Lesion A Case Report
Authors: Suchi Sharmin Reza , Halder Bibekananda , Imran Ahmed
Published: October 2022

An aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a benign, expansile, non-neoplastic lesion of the bone, characterized by channels of blood and spaces that are separated by fibrous septae. Giant ABC is an uncommon condition and can be difficult to handle because of the destructive effect of the cyst on the bones and the compressive effect on the nearby structures, especially in weight-bearing bones of the body commonly affecting the younger age group. Here, we present a case of a bone lesion in the left proximal femur of a six-year-old child, who had a previous history of right-sided Nephrectomy due to Wilms’ tumor (WT). Follow-up computed tomography of the abdomen revealed a peritoneal metastatic deposit, abdominal lymphadenopathy & additional expansile osteolytic lesion at the proximal left femur and considered all as metastatic deposits. Magnetic resonance imaging of the left hip demonstrated an expansile multiloculated heterogeneously enhancing cystic lesion with a fluid-fluid level in the upper shaft of the left femur typical for ABC (Aneurysmal bone cyst). At the same time, the scintigraphy report shows it’s a neoplastic lesion. Finally, the biopsy report confirmed it’s a benign lesion which correlates with the MRI findings. Despite its rarity, metastatic Wilms’ tumor to bone should be considered in a child though in WT metastasizes to bones very late. So, benign-appearing bone lesions are sometimes misdiagnosed as metastatic lesions may arise difficulty in diagnosis, management & treatment plans due to the co-existence of other pathologies.

Hepatitis A outbreak in Australia linked to imported Medjool dates, June–September 2021
Authors: O’Neill Caitlin , Franklin Neil , Edwards Alan , Martin Tania , O’Keefe Jacinta , Jackson Kathy , Pingault Nevada , Glasgow Keira
Published: October 2022

Imported, minimally processed food products have been historically associated with several hepatitis A outbreaks in Australia. Here, we report the first known hepatitis A outbreak in Australia linked to consumption of imported fresh Medjool dates. Between June and September 2021, six genetically identical hepatitis A cases were notified in New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory. All cases reported date consumption during their exposure period. The implicated dates were positive for hepatitis A virus (HAV) by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Rapid detection of this outbreak and the swift implementation of control measures was facilitated by two key factors. Firstly, Australian international border closures implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic meant that a common locally-acquired, as opposed to travel-acquired, source for cases was strongly suspected. Secondly, prompt awareness of a hepatitis A outbreak in the United Kingdom (which was found to be associated with date consumption) allowed for early hypothesis generation and investigation. This paper details the epidemiological and microbiological factors involved in this outbreak investigation and the actions taken to mitigate public health risk.
The value of active follow up of a newly acquired hepatitis B infection – lessons for current approaches

Published: October 2022

The standard practice of blood borne virus (BBV) follow-up in New South Wales is a passive approach of general-practitioner-led testing. The value of this approach is unknown. We undertook an active contact tracing method with the aims of investigating a potential hepatitis B source, along with accurately measuring the participation rate, to consider the value of this and other follow-up methods for future BBV investigations. Investigation of a newly-acquired hepatitis B infection was undertaken at a dental practice identified as a possible exposure site. To screen for hepatitis B infection among potential source or co-exposed clients, we actively followed up with staff and clients of the practice to request they undertake hepatitis B serology. Eligible staff and clients received up to four phone calls and were provided with a pathology request form by the public health unit (PHU). Access to free serology was offered to people who did not have access to Medicare. Reminder calls were made if serology results were not received by the PHU. As the ordering doctor, the public health physician was responsible for providing results and referring for follow-up care. Of 160 clients, 63 (39%) undertook hepatitis B serology. Of these 63, none were found to have hepatitis B infection. It was estimated the active investigation involved an extra 430 hours of PHU staff time at a cost in Australian dollars of $30,000. Active follow-up allows an accurate participation rate to be documented. Despite intense active follow-up, only 39% of clients undertook testing, bringing into question the yield of the usual approach in which active follow-up of potential mass BBV exposures is not undertaken. While active follow-up is resource intensive, it should be considered where the risks and consequences from the BBV infection are high.

FOUCAULT E SUAS CONTRIBUIÇÕES PARA A EDUCAÇÃO ATUAL E O DEBATE SOBRE POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS
Authors: Bechtold Ivan , Bonin Joel Cezar
Published: October 2022

A proposta deste artigo é estabelecer uma relação e situar as conexões entre as ideias de Foucault e as demandas da educação atual. Além disso, busca-se aproximar algumas visões foucaultianas com alguns tipos de Políticas Públicas em Educação que atualmente usam estratégias de controle conforme o filósofo apresenta em algumas de suas obras. Resumidamente objetiva-se fazer uma análise de políticas públicas por meio de contribuições das reflexões do próprio Foucault. Teoricamente, o estudo está pautado nas contribuições de autores como Caciano e Silva (2012), Paniago (2005), Santos (2016), Smarjassi e Arzani (2021), Secchi (2014), Foucault (1999, 2008), entre outros. Metodologicamente, optou-se pela pesquisa bibliográfica e pela abordagem qualitativa e quanto aos objetivos classifica-se como descritiva. Os resultados indicam que há uma relação entre as contribuições de Foucault para a educação atual sobre diversos aspectos. O poder exercido dentro das instituições (como a escola) para disciplinar a sociedade, pode ser compreendido por meio da lógica panóptica, segundo a qual a força que o poder disciplinar exerce tem ligação com os sistemas de controle na contemporaneidade e com os sistemas descritos por Foucault.

In order to understand the thermal insulation performance of a multilayer passive thermal protection system (MPTPS) in combustion chamber, a one-dimensional multilayer transient heat conduction approach has been developed to simulate the thermal insulation procedure in MPTPS. The MPTPS includes carbon phenolic composites which pyrolyze subject to high temperature, leading to the change of its thermal properties, such as density, specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity. Incidentally, the pyrolytic gas generated from composite material infiltrates into the other layers and gaps between them in MPTPS, leading us to take the effects of contact thermal resistance into account. On the other hand, the latent heat results from the phase change of the carbon phenolic composite may cause an extra heat source, which releases or absorbs heat with the variation of time. Consequently, the wall temperature on the outermost layer in MPTPS has been observed and plotted against time. The effects of these factors introduced above have been carefully analyzed in terms of the variation of wall temperature with time.

The influence of working pressure, which is one of the most important parameters in the design of thermoelectric conversion system, on the heat transfer process and heat absorption of supercritical CO2 in the square heated duct is numerically studied. Under the calculated cases, two main vortices with opposite flow direction are formed at the inlet of the heated section. Accordingly, due to the effect of two main vortices, the local heat transfer coefficient profiles on bottom and up wall are M shaped. Meanwhile, it is founded that one wall temperature peak is presented near the inlet of heated duct. With the increase of working pressure, the wall temperature peak decreases gradually. For the safety of the system, it is better to choose 15 MPa as the working pressure due to the relatively low wall temperature peak and pressure. To evaluate the heat absorbed by working fluid, the one-dimensional steady heat transfer model is built. It is found that the absorbed heat changes non-monotonically and the maximum, namely 1080.11 W, is reached under 10 MPa. From the point of heat absorption, it is better to choose 10 MPa as working pressure.

In order to improve the turbine efficiency and reduce the consumption of cooling air, the first stage of an industrial gas turbine was designed. A type of blade and two types of vanes (XA and XB) were further designed. The pitch/chord ratio is 0.81 and 1.05, respectively, and the number of vanes for the whole circle is 40 and 30, respectively. The aerodynamic performance and internal flow of the two type of vanes were analyzed by numerical simulation. The results show that the efficiency of type XB is higher than that of type XA under the design condition. Furthermore cooling design and analysis of the two types of vanes show that the large pitch/chord ratio with smaller whole circle vane number can not only improve the aerodynamic efficiency, but also reduce the cooling air consumption. It has important application value in the design of gas turbine.

Nowadays, in order to obtain a higher efficiency in aeroengines, the increase in the turbine inlet temperature of gas turbine engine is an urgent need. At present, the turbine inlet temperature is close to 2000K, which means the radiation and coupled radiationconduction heat transfer play more and more important roles in hot section of aeroengines. As we all konw, considering the cylindrical symmetry of the aeroengine. It is convenient to adopt the cylindrical coordinate to simplify the systems in aeroengines with cylindrical geometry, such as annular combustor and exhaust nozzle. In this paper, the Discontinuous Spectral Element Method (DSEM) is extended to solve the radiation and coupled radiationcoduction heat transfer in cylindrical coordinate systems. Both the spatial and angular computational domains of radiative transfer equation (RTE) are discretized and solved by DSEM. For coupled radiationconduction heat transfer problem, Discontinuous Spectral Element MethodSpectral Element Method (DSEMSEM) scheme is used to avoid using two sets of computational grids which would cause the increase of computational cost and the decrease of accuracy. Then, the effects of various geometric and thermal physical parameters are comprehensively investigated. Finally, these methods are further extended to 2D cylindrical system.

Human fibrotic diseases constitute a major health problem worldwide. Fibrosis involves significant etiological heterogeneity and encompasses a wide spectrum of diseases affecting various organs. To date, many fibrosis targeted therapeutic agents failed due to inadequate efficacy and poor prognosis. In order to dissect disease mechanisms and develop therapeutic solutions for fibrosis patients, in vitro disease models have gone a long way in terms of platform development. The introduction of engineered organ-on-a-chip platforms has brought a revolutionary dimension to the current fibrosis studies and discovery of anti-fibrotic therapeutics. Advances in human induced pluripotent stem cells and tissue engineering technologies are enabling significant progress in this field. Some of the most recent breakthroughs and emerging challenges are discussed, with an emphasis on engineering strategies for platform design, development, and application of machine learning on these models for anti-fibrotic drug discovery. In this review, we discuss engineered designs to model fibrosis and how biosensor and machine learning technologies combine to facilitate mechanistic studies of fibrosis and pre-clinical drug testing.

Continuous cropping obstacle (CCO) in tobacco is a prevalent and intractable issue and has not yet been effectively solved. Many researchers have favored exploring environmentally friendly and sustainable solutions to CCO (e.g, the application of (bio-) organic fertilizers). Therefore, to study the effects of functional organic fertilizers (FOFs) on tobacco CCO, we applied five types of fertilizers in a tobacco continuous cropping field with red soil (i.e., CF: tobacco-special chemical fertilizers; VOF: vermicompost-based FOF; HOF: humic acid-based FOF; WOF: wood biochar-based FOF; COF: compound FOF). The tobacco plant agronomic traits, leaf yield, economic value, and chemical quality (nicotine, total sugar, K2O, Cl contents, etc.) were evaluated via the continuous flow method. Meanwhile, we determined rhizosphere soil physicochemical properties, phenolic acids content, and bacterial community diversity by high-throughput sequencing. The results show that FOFs improved the tobacco plant agronomic traits, leaf yield (by 2.9–42.8%), value (by 1.2–47.4%), and chemical quality when compared with CF. More content of NH4+-N, available P, and available K were discovered in the rhizosphere soil in VOF, HOF, and WOF. The rhizosphere sinapic acid and total phenolic acids content declined in the FOF treatments (1.23–1.56 and 7.95–8.43 mg kg−1 dry soil, respectively) versus those in the CF treatment (2.01 and 10.10 mg kg−1 dry soil, respectively). Moreover, the rhizosphere bacterial community structure changed under FOF functions: the beneficial microbes Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, Streptomyces, and Bacillus increased, and the harmful microbes Acidobacteria and Gemmatimonadota decreased in abundance. There was a positive correlation between the tobacco leaf yield and soil NH4+-N, TC content, and the relative abundance of Proteobacteria and Actinobacteriota. In summary, the application of VOF and WOF is a modest, practical, and environmentally friendly strategy to alleviate tobacco CCO from the standpoint of recycling solid waste.

Published: October 2022

Activation of nodal genes is critical for mesoderm and endoderm induction. Our previous study reported that zebrafish nodal genes ndr1/squint and ndr2/cyclops are coordinately regulated by maternal Eomesa, Hwa-activated β-catenin (Hwa/β-catenin) signaling, and Nodal autoregulation (Nodal/Smad2) signaling. However, the exact contribution and underlying mechanisms are still elusive. Here, we applied “causal inference” to evaluate the causal between the independent and dependent variables, and we found that Hwa/β-catenin and Smad2 are the cause of ndr1 activation, while Eomesa is the cause of ndr2 activation. Mechanistically, the different cis-regulatory regions of ndr1 and ndr2 bound by Eomesa, β-catenin, and Smad2 were screened out via ChIP-qPCR and verified by the transgene constructs. The marginal GFP expression driven by ndr1 transgenesis could be diminished without both maternal Eomesa and Hwa/β-catenin, while Eomesa, not β-catenin, could bind and activate ndr2 demonstrated by ndr2 transgenesis. Thus, the distinct regulation of ndr1/ndr2 relies on different cis-regulatory regions.

Published: October 2022

Stress-activated mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 7 (MKK7) is a member of the dual-specificity mitogen-activated protein kinase family. In the human body, MKK7 controls essential physiological processes, including but not limited to proliferation and differentiation in multiple tissues and organs. MKK7, along with the MKK4 pathway, has been implicated in stress-activated activities and biological events that are mediated by c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling. Although numerous studies have been performed to identify the role of JNK in multiple biological processes, there are limited publications that focus on dissecting the independent role of MKK7. Recent research findings have spurred testing via in vivo genetically deficient models, uncovering previously undocumented JNK—independent functions of MKK7. Here we discuss both JNK—dependent and—independent functions of MKK7 in vivo. This review summarizes the role of MKK7 in inflammation, cytokine production, cancer, and neurological diseases.

Eudaimonic entertainment as new Enlightenment: Critical thinking as a mind-set effect of narratives
Authors: Bilandzic Helena , Blessing Janine Nadine
Published: October 2022

We propose to extend the theoretical concept of eudaimonia as a media effect with critical thinking as a mind-set effect. Critical thinking as a mind-set effect means that media narratives can stimulate viewers and readers to think critically in any situation, even outside of the exposure situation and applied to other topics. It denotes a generally heightened critical attitude or “mind-set” to approach issues and situations by taking different pieces of information into account, weighing and analyzing them, developing one's own arguments and drawing conclusions. People with this mind-set try to be well-informed, use credible sources and observations, are alert for alternatives, open-minded, maintain and change views according to evidence, and are motivated to hold accurate beliefs. In this article, we provide a theoretical elaboration of the idea of critical thinking as a mind-set effect, and connect it to traditions of Enlightenment literature as well as theoretical approaches on narrative effects. We also present data from a qualitative pilot study using the film “Don't look up” to explore the potential of such an extension of eudaimonic entertainment. Finally, we discuss implications of introducing critical thinking as a mind-set effect for narrative persuasion.
Which “motionese” parameters change with children's age? Disentangling attention-getting from action-structuring modifications
Authors: Rohlfing Katharina J. , Vollmer Anna-Lisa , Fritsch Jannik , Wrede Britta
Published: October 2022

Modified action demonstration—dubbed motionese—has been proposed as a way to help children recognize the structure and meaning of actions. However, until now, it has been investigated only in young infants. This brief research report presents findings from a cross-sectional study of parental action demonstrations to three groups of 8–11, 12–23, and 24–30-month-old children that applied seven motionese parameters; a second study investigated the youngest group of participants longitudinally to corroborate the cross-sectional results. Results of both studies suggested that four motionese parameters (Motion Pauses, Pace, Velocity, Acceleration) seem to structure the action by organizing it in motion pauses. Whereas these parameters persist over different ages, three other parameters (Demonstration Length, Roundness, and Range) occur predominantly in the younger group and seem to serve to organize infants' attention on the basis of movement. Results are discussed in terms of facilitative vs. pedagogical learning.

Published: October 2022

Objective

Although an invasive strategy has been recommended within 24 h for patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), the optimal timing of the invasive strategy remains controversial. We sought to investigate the association between the different timings of invasive strategies and clinical outcomes in patients with NSTEMI.

Materials and methods

Patients admitted with NSTEMI from the Evaluation and Management of Patients with Acute ChesT pain in China (EMPACT) registry between January 2016 and September 2017 were included. The primary outcomes were major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) within 30 days. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to assess independent risk factors for MACEs.

Results

A total of 969 patients with NSTEMI from the EMPACT Registry were eligible for this study. Coronary angiography (CAG) was performed in 501 patients [<24 h, n = 150 (15.5%); ≥ 24 h, n = 351 (36.2%)]. The rate of MACEs at 30 days in all patients was 9.2%, including 54 (5.6%) deaths. Patients who underwent CAG had a lower rate of MACEs and mortality than those who did not receive CAG (MACEs: 5.6% vs. 13.0%, P < 0.001; mortality: 1.6% vs. 9.8%, P < 0.001). Nonetheless, no statistically significant difference was found in the rates of MACEs and mortality between the early (< 24 h) and delayed (≥ 24 h) CAG groups. Older age (OR: 1.036, 95% CI: 1.007, 1.065, P = 0.014), and acute heart failure (OR: 2.431, 95% CI: 1.244, 4.749, P = 0.009) increased the risk of MACEs and protective factors were underwent CAG (OR: 0.427, 95% CI: 0.219, 0.832, P = 0.012) or PCI (OR: 0.376, 95% CI: 0.163, 0.868, P = 0.022). In the multilevel logistic regression, older age (OR: 0.944, 95% CI: 0.932, 0.957, P < 0.001), cardiogenic shock (OR: 0.233, 95% CI: 0.079, 0.629, P = 0.009), pulmonary moist rales (OR: 0.368, 95% CI: 0.197, 0.686, P = 0.002), and prior chronic kidney disease (OR: 0.070, 95% CI: 0.018, 0.273, P < 0.001) was negatively associated with CAG.

Conclusion

This real-world cohort study of NSTEMI patients confirmed that the early invasive strategy did not reduce the incidence of MACEs and mortality within 30 days compared with the delayed invasive strategy in NSTEMI patients.
Left atrial appendage function and structure predictors of recurrent atrial fibrillation after catheter ablation: A meta-analysis of observational studies
Authors: Han Shaojie , Liu Ming , Jia Ruikun , Cen Zhifu , Guo Ran , Liu Guobin , Cui Kaijun
Published: October 2022

Background

The results of studies evaluating the left atrial appendage (LAA) function and structure as predictors of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after catheter ablation (CA) are contradictory. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to assess whether the LAA function and structure can predict the recurrence of AF after CA.

Methods

The PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane library databases were used to conduct a comprehensive literature search. Finally, 37 studies encompassing 11 LAA parameters were included in this meta-analysis.

Results

Compared with those in the non-recurrence group, the recurrence group had increased LAA volume (SMD 0.53, 95% CI [0.36, 0.71] p < 0.00001), LAA volume index, LAA orifice area, and LAA orifice short/long axis and decreased LAA emptying flow velocity (SMD -0.54, 95% CI [-0.68, -0.40], P < 0.00001), LAA filling flow velocity, and LAA ejection fraction, while there was no significant difference in LAA morphology or LAA depth.

Conclusion

Large LAA structure of pre-ablation (LAA volume, orifice area, orifice long/short axis, and volume index) and decreased LAA function of pre-ablation (LAA emptying flow velocity, filling flow velocity, ejection fraction, and LASEC) increase the odds of AF recurrence after CA.
