The importance of positional mobility for regional comparisons
Authors: Monroy-Gómez-Franco Luis Angel
Published: August 2022

Stratification economics has brought back positional concerns as an area of focus in studying economic dynamics. However, this is not yet the case in the realm of regional comparisons of intergenerational mobility. In this paper, I show that the decomposition of intergenerational persistence indicators into their structural and positional components offers a clearer understanding of the determinants of heterogeneity in subnational mobility rates. This constitutes a departure from the current consensus in estimating mobility rates at the subnational level in economics. Applying this approach to the Mexican case, I show no significant differences in positional mobility across the country’s regions. This contrasts with the existing results, particularly regarding intergenerational mobility in the country’s southern region.
Investigation of crystal field, magnetic frustration and magnetization reversal effects in 4 f and 3d oxides
Authors: Kademane Abhijit Bhat
Published: August 2022

This thesis deals with the investigation of single-ion excitations, magnetic frustration, and magnetization reversal phenomena. We have employed neutron scattering, µ+SR, and computational methods for these studies. Inverse spinel oxide Co2VO4 belongs to the family of spinel vanadates where cobalt and vanadium ions occupy the spinel B-site equally. This system exhibits magnetization reversal for temperatures below 65 K. Magnetization studies reveal three anomalies involving collinear and non-collinear ferrimagnetism phase and magnetization reversal crossover. Neutron diffraction analysis of Co2VO4 unveils that the evolution of relative balance between the two sublattice moments leads to ferrimagnetic phase and magnetization reversal. DFT calculation and µ+SR results suggest delocalization -localization crossover as the underlying microscopic mechanism for magnetization reversal. Rare earth oxide SrTm2O4 belongs to the family of SrLn2O4 where two inequivalent Tm3+ s form two zig-zag chains along the orthorhombic c-axis. An earlier study on SrTm2O4 reports the absence of long- or short-range order down to 65 mK. The crystal fields and exchange interactions in SrTm2O4 were studied to examine the absence of order. The crystal fields in SrTm2O4 were modeled using DFT and the effective charge (EC) model. The EC model describes the system well and suggests |l, ml) = |6, 0) dominates the ground state of both Tm + s. The exchange interactions extracted from low-energy dispersing excitations using random phase approximation suggest that Tm2 chains are frustrated and Tm1 chains could form dimers. The critical ratio calculated from exchange interaction indicates SrTm2O4 cannot undergo a thermal second-order phase transition confirming the absence of order. µ+SR results show oscillations in polarization evolution spectra; these are typically associated with muon precession due to the system’s long-range order. Modeling precession frequency vs. temperature reveals that these oscillations originate due to nuclear hyperfine enhancement. Additionally, the magnetic field application induces long-range order, with Tm2 function as polarized paramagnet whereas Tm1 above 4 T transitions into XY -AFM phase.
The American Archivist Online Supplement to Volume 74. Edited by William E. Landis.
Authors: Gorzalski Matt
Published: August 2022

The Society of American Archivists (SAA) celebrated its 75th anniversary at its 2011 annual meeting in Chicago, Illinois. ARCHIVES 360° and SAA@75: “Then, Now . . . Wow!” was a time to reflect on the foundations, development, and future of the American archival profession. The semiannual American Archivist published four articles in the second issue of the 2011 (74th) volume that engaged the anniversary theme. But this issue insufficiently examined the breadth of the archival profession as covered at that momentous occasion. The American Archivist Online Supplement to Volume 74, guest edited by William E. Landis, compiled nine sessions from the 2011 annual meeting selected and reviewed by the Program Committee. In his introduction, Landis states that the purpose of the supplement is to capture annual meeting content in a more permanent and freely accessible means than purchasable session recordings. Panelists adapted their presentations into articles that explore the evolution of archival practice, examine professional diversity, and debate questions and opportunities for the twenty-first century. This successful supplement is the first of its kind for The American Archivist.
Exhibits in Archives and Special Collections Libraries. By Jessica Lacher-Feldman. [Review]
Authors: Vilz Amy
Published: August 2022

In 2008, to provide continuity across the profession and acknowledge skills needed for effective stewardship of special collections materials, the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) approved Competencies for Special Collections Professionals. This document explicitly contends that those responsible for special collections materials must be “committed to promoting the appreciation and use of special collections materials to a variety of audiences. . . . ” and “skilled in planning and implementing programs and publications that promote and interpret collections, such as exhibits. . . . ” Indeed, at one time or another, most archivists and special collections librarians face curating a display or exhibit. Despite this, modern resources on exhibit preparation geared to special collections are lacking, leaving staff to glean guidance from general library exhibit publications or to turn to colleagues in the museum field for the most current materials on exhibits. Jessica Lacher-Feldman’s book, Exhibits in Archives and Special Collections Libraries, attempts to fill this void in the literature.

Accounting Considerations in Plastic Waste Reduction: Implications for Environmental Management
Authors: Austin Karina
Published: August 2022

When it comes to environmental management, green accounting is a very significant factor to take into consideration, specifically the elimination of waste plastic. The environmental charges that are included in the company's financial statements are utilised in order to reduce the amount of pollution created by plastic trash that is caused by factory waste. In order to demonstrate its corporate responsibility toward the environment, the firm takes into consideration environmental costs in a methodical and measurable manner. In addition, environmental information is designed to serve the company's internal as well as external interests. Because of the costs associated with the environment, a number of businesses have begun using environmentally friendly shopping bags and have reduced the amount of plastic packaging.
Optymizm pedagogiczny wobec tragicznej wizji natury ludzkiej
Authors: Majcherek Janusz Andrzej
Published: August 2022

The concept of tabula rasa, propagated in modern philosophy and anthropology, gave rise to contemporary pedagogical optimism, expressing conviction of unlimited possibilities in shaping personal traits of pupils, in accordance with the intended goals of upbringing. This view raises both factual and axiological doubts. The inborn traits, predispositions and talents of pupils differentiate their educational possibilities and their susceptibility to the applied methods of educational influence. Disorders and failures of the socialisation process do not necessarily signify its failure if they occur in the case of a nonconformist, contestant or potentially creative and innovative personality. The thesis of potential freedom in shaping educational processes and pupils’ personalities raises questions about the risks that arise if these processes and methods of shaping them are under the control of the wrong people or institutions. The aim of the analyses in the article is to indicate that the seemingly tragic vision of human nature, suggesting the existence of irremovable and impassable personality and characterological conditions that prevent the free shaping of pupils, develops the possibility of a differently understood and justified pedagogical optimism related to discovering the potentials, talents and predispositions that require development in the process of education and upbringing.
Beyond Bulk Gay-Berne fluids: An outlook on mesogenic mixtures with molecular dynamics simulations
Authors: Gonzalez-Martinez Aurora D. , Sambriski Edward J. , Moreno-Razo Jose Antonio
Published: August 2022

In this review, we focus on heterogeneous, thermotropic liquid crystal (LC) mixtures our group has studied with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Systems considered include: (1) binary LC mixtures, (2) colloidal inclusions in a mesogenic solvent, and (3) confined mesogenic samples. An extension of the Gay-Berne model is provided to treat the mixtures investigated. Our findings are contextualized to calamitic and discotic LC systems. Structural properties of the mesogenic solvent are probed using the Maier-Saupe (nematic) order parameter. Representative snapshots from MD simulations are used to corroborate phase phenomenology. Topological defects are treated in the presence of colloidal inclusions and in confined samples. The effect of solvent flow on the behavior of topological defects is also assessed. These LC mixtures are of interest in the area of applied materials: aside from their rich mesophase behavior, these systems provide a promising platform for molecular self-assembly and organization.

Published: August 2022

In a five-year (2015-2019) study, some vegetative and generative peculiarities of two resistant apple cultivars (‘Galiwa’ and ‘Story Inored’) were assessed in a young orchard with a multi-row training system. Based on our research, cv. ‘Galiwa’ showed significantly weaker growth, than cv. ‘Story Inored’, which was manifested in lower trunk cross sectional area (TCSA) and lower tree height. Cultivar ‘Story Inored’ reached the optimal tree height (3.1 m) at the age of four, but cv. ‘Galiwa’ could not achieve it neither in five-year-old trees (2.7 m). Cultivar ‘Galiwa’ showed 28.4-32.6 t/ha calculated average yield, while cv. ‘Story Inored’ produced 41.3-102.7 t/ha. Larger fruit size was found in cv. ‘Galiwa’ (72.7-79.1 mm) and smaller in cv. ‘Story Inored’ (66.9-69.2 mm). The fruit surface color was under 50% for cv. ‘Galiwa’ (43-49%), meanwhile cv. ‘Story Inored’ reached higher coloration (87-93%) and an excellent color intensity (4.8-5.0). Shape of cv. ‘Galiwa’ fruits was rather flat, than globular (0.83-0.84 shape index), as cv. ‘Story Inored’ was more elongated (0.95-1.00 shape index).

Published: August 2022

Aloe vera is one of the most famous medicinal plants. Aloin and aloe emodin are the most important active compounds in this plant. The purpose of this research was the comparison of aloin and aloe emodin production after the elicitation by methyl jasmonate, salicylic acid, and phenylalanine in diploid and tetraploid Aloe vera plants in greenhouse conditions. The plants were treated with the concentrations of 25, 50, and 100 µM. The amounts of aloin and aloe emodin were determined 24 and 48 hours after application of the treatment. HPLC analysis showed that the leaves of the control diploid plants (without applying elicitors) had more aloin (1.20 fold) and aloe emodin (1.14 fold) than the control tetraploid plants. The maximum concentration of aloin (1.15 ± 0.07 µg mg-1 dry weight) was obtained after the elicitation by 25 µM methyl jasmonate, 24 hours after treatment, in diploid plants) 6.36 fold compared to the control (0.18 µg mg-1 dry weight (. In addition, the maximum concentration of aloe emodin (0.28 µg mg-1 dry weight) was obtained after the elicitation by 25 µM salicylic acid, 24 hours after treatment, in diploid plants) 6.18 fold compared to the control (0.04 µg mg-1 dry weight)). The long-term effect of three studied elicitors (after 240 days) on plant health and survival was also studied. This investigation showed that only methyl jasmonate at a concentration of 100 µM was resulted in the death of Aloe vera plants.

Published: August 2022

Mango (Mangifera indica) is an important fruit served to customers as fresh-cut fruit, juice, ice cream and yogurts in many fruit juice joints, restaurants and hotels in Ghana. However, the crop’s highly seasonal and perishable nature is a challenge for food processors and farmers. Preservation of the fruit in dry particulate form can serve as a substitute in off-seasons. The study sought to determine mango fruit powder production prospects at the farm level and explore its potential use as a substitute during the off-season. Farmer groups and food enterprises were therefore interviewed. The study showed that Keitt and Kent varieties were the most cultivated varieties because of market demand and high yield. However, an average annual fruit loss of 29.8% at the farm level was observed. Postharvest extension delivery service to farmers is inadequate, and where available, frequency of contact is irregular. A limited number of farmers received training in fruit processing; and few were engaged in transformational value addition activities but were willing to add value through processing into powder. Probit regression analysis showed that a unit increase in training would increase transformational farm level value addition into mango fruit powder by 22.9%. The majority of the food enterprises source fruits within Ghana while 79% experienced mango fruit shortage in the off-seasons. Only a few of the enterprises used mango fruit-based substitutes to serve customers in off-seasons. Probit regression analysis showed that a marginal increase in processors’ use of substitute significantly (p≤0.05) increased willingness to use mango fruit powder as a substitute by 47%. The study has revealed that local production of mango fruit powder could serve as a substitute to fill the seasonal gap in mango supply and also reduce post-harvest losses.

Published: August 2022

In preliminary studies, a strain Paenibacillus polymyxa P6 possessing
multiple plant growth-promoting (phosphate solubilization, oligonitrotrophy and
production of heteroauxins) and antagonistic activities was isolated from grainresided cultivable bacterial endophytic community of winter wheat variety of the
domestic selection Podolyanka with increased resistance to the causative agent of
basal bacteriosis of grain crops Pseudomonas syringae pv. atrofaciens. The aim of this work was to study the antimicrobial effect of the exometabolites, produced by
isolated strain, towards gram-negative phytopathogenic microorganisms using the
method of deferred antagonism under the condition of cultivating the antagonistsc
bacterium for 72 and 120 hours before inoculation of test cultures. Microorganisms
stored in the collection of the D.K. Zabolotny Institute of Microbiology and Virology,

B-1011, Pseudomonas syringae pv. atrofaciens B-1013, as well as Erwinia
amylovora ATCC 15580 were used as a test-cultures. Paenibacillus polymyxa P6
exometabolites were found to have a dose-dependent antimicrobial effect towards all
studied microorganisms. The most pronounced inhibitory effect was registered
against Erwinia amylovora ATCC 15580, Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae B1022 and Ralstonia solanocearum B-1109: the diameter of the zone of no growth
under the action of exometabolites produced for 120 hours are 25.72 ± 4.0 mm, 22.93
± 2.0 mm and 20.30 ± 4.0 respectively. These results substantiate the expediency of
further investigation of the composition and biological activity of the studied
exometabolites in the perspective of developing biotechnological preparations.

Published: August 2022

Camelina sativa is an agricultural crop that provides valuable raw
materials in different soil and climatic conditions with low production costs. Despite
the prospects of camelina sativa, its sown areas in Ukraine remain insignificant. The
main factor holding back the increase in the cultivation plan of this crop is the lack of
highly productive, adapted to adverse growing conditions varieties. Involvement of
biotechnological methods in the general scheme of selection process allows to increase
efficiency of creation of genotypes of plants with desirable signs.
The article presents the results of research on the effect of mannitol on the
callus tissue of camelina sativa. The selective factor was added at various
concentrations (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 %) to the modified nutrient medium according to the
Murashige-Skuga recipe. Morphogenic microcalls obtained from explants of camelina
sativa Stepovy 1, Klondike, Peremoha and Euro 12 were planted on the nutrient
substrate. At the end of subculturing, microcall viability, proliferation intensity and
morphogenic characteristics of biomaterials were determined.
It was found that, depending on the genotype, the concentration of mannitol at
the level of 8–10 % is optimal for the selection of in vitro drought-resistant culture
forms. High resistance to osmotic stress is characterized by biomaterials obtained from
the varieties Stepovy 1 and Peremoha. Isolated camelina sativa cell lines with high
resistance to osmotic stress have been identified, which can serve as donors of drought
resistance genes in further breeding research.
Motion control of the inverted pendulum: development of the installation,
identification of the system and synthesis of the optimal motion controller
Authors: Romasevych Yu. O. , Loveikin V. S. , Zarivny O. Yu. , Oleksiyiko A. G.
Published: August 2022

In the work, an approach has been developed that allows of synthesizing
optimal controllers of dynamic systems. It consists in the identification of a physical
model of a dynamical system (in the case under consideration of the "inverted
pendulum" type). This provides the ground for the controller synthesis problem
statement. This approach does not require a mathematical model of the system in the
form of a system of differential equations, which is its advantage. However, in order to
use the advantage, it is necessary to estimate the quality of the system identification.
Such calculations showed the validity of the developed approach. The synthesis of the
optimal controller was carried out on the basis of the well-known methodology, which
presupposes the reduction of the original problem to the problem of unconstrained
optimization of a function with a complex topology. For this, a modified particle swarm
optimization method has been used. Experimental validation of the control results has
shown in practice the complete achievement of the control goal – stabilization of the
system with the presence of minor residual oscillations of the phase coordinates of the
system.

In our autumn edition in 2014 we published articles from a conference on ‘Writing Jews in Contemporary Britain’. They were guest edited for the issue by Axel Stähler and Sue Vice, the organisers of the conference. In their joint introduction they wrote:

Contemporary British Jewish writers are being credited with an ‘attitude’ and their fiction is perceived to celebrate ‘the anarchic potential of the Jewish voice’.

It will come as no surprise, particularly given what they quoted about ‘attitude’ and ‘anarchic potential’, that the first Jewish author they mentioned, because of his recent award at the time of the Man Booker Prize, was Howard Jacobson. One of the contributors to that issue was David Brauner writing on ‘Fetishizing the Holocaust: Comedy and Transatlantic Connections in Howard Jacobson’s Kalooki Nights’. When Bryan Cheyette and David Brauner approached the editor of this journal with the proposal to mark and celebrate Howard Jacobson’s eightieth birthday, the editorial board readily accepted the offer. The contents are introduced by Bryan Cheyette, and David Brauner contributes a new interview with Jacobson. The issue also contains a book review by Howard Cooper of David’s recent monograph on Jacobson in the Manchester University Press series Contemporary British Novelists.
Being Howard Jacobson
Authors: Cheyette Bryan
Published: August 2022

Howard Jacobson (1942–) has been the leading Jewish writer in Britain for nearly four decades. He remains at the height of his powers with the recent publication of his memoir, Mother’s Boy: A Writer’s Beginnings (2022) which is referred to throughout this introduction. I will return to Jacobson’s first novel, Coming from Behind (1983), to show how it relates to his ‘golden’ period which is the focus of the articles in this Special Issue. Novels produced during this period include: The Mighty Walzer (1999), Kalooki Nights (2006), The Finkler Question (2010), J: A Novel (2014) and Shylock Is My Name (2016). Jacobson’s growing confidence – moving between the individual and the collective, between comedy and tragedy, and between realism and experimentalism – will be at the heart of the introduction.
‘Jewish Enough for You?’
Authors: Herman David
Published: August 2022

Howard Jacobson is one of the leading Anglo-Jewish writers of the past forty years. He has received considerable acclaim but articles about Jacobson have rarely featured his career as a broadcaster, on British television and radio. Since the 1980s he has regularly appeared as a subject of TV documentaries, including Arena (BBC2) and The South Bank Show (ITV), a presenter of individual programmes such as Sorry, Judas and The South Bank Show: Why the Novel Matters to Roots Schmoots and Seriously Funny and a number of discussion programmes, including Start the Week (Radio 4), The Sundays (Channel 4) and The Late Show (BBC2).
The Mighty Walzer
Authors: Díaz Bild Aída
Published: August 2022

Howard Jacobson is a British author who is proud of being labelled a Jewish writer and does not hesitate to describe himself as ‘entirely and completely Jewish’. He believes that English-Jewish writers should address directly the challenge of being Jewish, which is precisely what he does in The Mighty Walzer (1999). The novel shows once again Jacobson’s greatness as a comic novelist and thus reinforces his assumption that the ingenious, joking Jew is the Jew in essence. Like many scholars, Jacobson believes that self-aimed humour has allowed Jewish people to cope with the paradoxical nature of their culture and historical situation. In The Mighty Walzer Jacobson proves to be the Jew par excellence by joking about everything from religion to food, making fun of the contradictions and incongruities of Jewish life.
‘Why Do You Have to Look So Jewish All the Time?’
Authors: Lander Joshua
Published: August 2022

This article parses the role of the body in Howard Jacobson’s Kalooki Nights and the manner in which Jacobson satirically draws on antisemitic concepts of Jewish difference. The article explores the role of the body in Jacobson’s magnum opus and how the author deconstructs the binaries that define and separate Jews and non-Jews. It offers new close readings of the novel that focus on the protagonist’s failed marriages, and – following from David Brauner’s recent monograph-length study – brings into focus new ways in which Jacobson’s novel engages and departs from Philip Roth.
COVID-19 and Its Implications for the Practice of Psychotherapy on Zoom during the Pandemic
Authors: Haynes Jane
Published: August 2022

As a result of the pandemic, I am a fugitive from my Marylebone consulting rooms. I have had to adapt my ‘technique’ to both the limitations and extended possibilities of Zoom. To mirror back a patient’s psyche in an accelerating emotional climate of existential anxiety and increased irritability. I refer to the ‘democratisation’ of therapy brought about by the increased autonomy of the patient to control their environment and access to intimacy during Zoom sessions.

One of the most painful realities of being controlled by technology is its crudity, its totalitarianism in comparison to mediated physical contact engaged in face-to-face work. Clinical vignettes (always with the patient’s written consent) are provided to demonstrate clinical phenomena unique to the Zoom setting.

Prawnokarna ocena eksploracji miejskiej (urban exploration)
Authors: Gądzik Zuzanna Barbara
Published: August 2022

Artykuł dotyczy prawnokarnej oceny eksploracji miejskiej (urban exploration). Jako niekonwencjonalna forma turystyki, polegająca na odkrywaniu miejsc opuszczonych i trudno dostępnych, wiąże się niejednokrotnie z naruszeniem przepisów dotyczących ochrony własności lub posiadania. W tekście przeprowadzono analizę celem zbadania, czy każda wyprawa eksploracyjna wypełnia znamiona przestępstwa naruszenia miru domowego – poprzez wdzieranie się do cudzego domu, mieszkania, lokalu, pomieszczenia albo ogrodzonego
terenu. W podjętych rozważaniach uwzględniono także możliwość popełnienia innych czynów zabronionych: spowodowania niebezpiecznego zdarzenia (w postaci zawalenia się budowli), kradzieży, kradzieży z włamaniem, zniszczenia mienia i zniszczenia zabytku, znieważenia grobu i zwłok oraz znieważenia przedmiotu czci religijnej lub miejsca przeznaczonego do publicznego wykonywania obrzędów religijnych. Autorka sięgnęła przede wszystkim po metodę formalno-dogmatyczną. Uzyskane wnioski odnoszą się do tego, jakie zachowania mieszczące się w ramach eksploracji miejskiej będą stanowić czyny zabronione i w jakich okolicznościach może dojść do wyłączenia odpowiedzialności karnej.

Authors: Jäckle Sonja , Alpers Rieke , Kühne Lisa , Schumacher Jakob , Geisler Benjamin , Westphal Max
Published: August 2022

In Germany, the current COVID-19 cases are managed and reported by the local health authorities. The workload of their employees during the pandemic is high, especially in periods of high infection numbers. In this work a decision support toolkit for local health authorities is introduced. A demonstrator web application was developed with the R Shiny framework and is publicly accessible online. It contains five separate tools based on statistical models for specific use cases and corresponding questions of COVID-19 cases and their contacts. The underlying statistical methods have been implemented in a new open-source R package. The toolkit has the potential to support local health authorities’ employees in their daily work. A simulated-based validation of the statistical models and a usability evaluation of the demonstrator application in a user study will be carried out in the future.
What Went Wrong in eMedCare? Formative Evaluation of an IT Project in Primary Care in Two Rural Districts
Authors: Przysucha Mareike , Peters Lara , Büscher Andreas , Schnellhammer Martin , Hübner Ursula
Published: August 2022

Introduction: The interaction between nurses and physicians in the primary care setting is challenging with regard to structural, process and technical barriers. In order to overcome these barriers, the eMedCare project was launched and a commercial system was implemented. Objective: This study aimed at a formative evaluation of the project. The findings should be used retrospectively to understand the failure of the project. Methods: To this end, two rounds of qualitative interviews with 10 respectively 8 healthcare providers were performed. Results: The interviews revealed a mixed benefit. Difficulties arose because the initial aim to monitor patients shifted towards improving the communication between the providers, partly due to the poor usability of the monitoring system. Additional workload was imposed because the system was not interoperable with the institutional IT systems. Conclusion: Projects with an unclear or shifting vision and focus seem to be susceptible to failure. The secure communication applications could have been realised on the intended scale if the national Telematikinfrastruktur had been in place.
Nutrition features of medical university students during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Balatsky P. S. , Komandenko A. S.
Published: August 2022

Introduction. Training in medical universities is characterized by high labor intensity, a large volume of classroom and extracurricular workload and has a serious impact on health. As it is known, one of the most important components of students' health is a rational diet, moreover, the state of human health is determined by more than 50% and depends on nutrition. Aim. To study the nutritional characteristics of medical university students during the period of isolation due to the coronavirus infection pandemic. Patients and Methods. The study was conducted online using a specially designed questionnaire in a remote format using a Google form. Each question assumed an answer in a time period: before the pandemic and now (the pandemic of coronavirus infection). The study included the results of a survey of 127 students of 4-6 courses of three medical universities of St. Petersburg. Results. 35.8% of our respondents reported three meals a day (breakfast, lunch, dinner) before the pandemic. During the survey, the optimal frequency of meals is adhered to by almost 2 times more - 64.1% of students. The commitment to eating fast food was not affected by the arrival of COVID-19 in our lives. There were no significant changes during the period of the pandemic with the use of semi-finished products and compliance with the principles of a balanced diet. Conclusion. In the conditions of the coronavirus infection pandemic, more students began to adhere to the optimal three-time frequency of meals. The pandemic of coronavirus infection has practically not changed the attitude of students to healthy eating - the unbalanced diet, the use of fast food and semi-finished products that took place before the arrival of COVID-19 have been preserved.

Introduction. Comorbid patients represent one of the most vulnerable groups with an extremely high risk of severe complications and adverse outcomes of COVID-19. Multiple organ damage in COVID-19 is associated with pathology of the cardiovascular system, diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic inflammatory bowel disease, and liver disease. The management of these patients requires an integrated approach, and therefore the need for optimal nutritional support is essential. Materials and methods. 36 patients with comorbid pathology with a history of COVID-19 (10-70% of lung involvement) 1.5-12 months prior to the study were examined. The metabolic and clinical status of patients was assessed using general clinical, laboratory and functional (bioelectrical impedance) research methods. Results. The analysis showed an increased rate of fat oxidation, a decrease in the rate of carbohydrate oxidation, and the absence of significant changes in the rate of protein oxidation. Conclusion. The data obtained are of practical importance for the development of recommendations and correction of the nutritional status of this group of patients.

Resilience: A Pathway Towards High Service Reliability in Telecommunication Networks
Authors: Liang Zhenglin , Xue Zongqi , Li Yan-Fu , Miao Dandan , Lin Ke
Published: August 2022

We find the loss of demands caused by a severe fault or even failure of cells in the urban telecommunication network could be compensated by two types of resilience, namely intra-sector resilience and inter-sector resilience. Intra-sector resilience is stemmed from the multi-cell design of base stations. Inter-sector resilience manifests as the partial absorption of the loss of demand by the nearby base stations. In the investigated ToC telecommunication network, the two types of resilience are practically observable. It implies that resilience is an essential factor in preserving the serviceability of telecommunication networks.
Jacques Sesiano, An Ancient Greek Treatise on Magic Squares
Authors: Oaks Jeffrey A.
Published: August 2022

The two earliest Arabic treatises explaining the construction of magic squares date from the 10th century ad. One is found in the Commentary on the Arithmetical [Introduction] (Kitāb tafsīr al-Arithmāṭīqī) by ʿAlī ibn Aḥmad al-Anṭākī (d. 376 H/ad 987). Only book 3 of the original three books is extant, and that in a single manuscript. This book is divided into three chapters: the first is a collection of arithmetical definitions, statements of propositions, and identities assembled from Greek and Arabic sources; the second is on magic squares; and the third deals with “hidden numbers”, in which a person thinks of a number and another discovers it after operations are performed on it. Curiously, none of these chapters have anything to do with Nicomachus’ Arithmetical Introduction, on which the book is supposed to be a commentary.

José Chabás, Computational Astronomy in the Middle Ages
Authors: Steele John
Published: August 2022

Astronomical tablets have been a major focus of study by historians of science since the middle of the 20th century. Building upon the pioneering work of E. S. Kennedy, O. Neugebauer, and others, recent scholars have applied a range of techniques drawn from the exact sciences (e.g., computer-aided statistical analysis of tabular data to uncover the mathematical functions underlying a table’s construction), cognitive studies (e.g., examination of how practitioners use a table and what makes a table user-friendly or not), and manuscript studies (e.g., studies of tabular layout and visual clues to the use of tables, such as the presence of color as an indicator or specific final digits to numbers in the column of a table that indicate the nature of the table) to answer questions about the construction, use, and transmission of astronomical tables and the astronomical knowledge that they incorporate. For the past 20 years or so, José Chabás, often working in collaboration with B. R. Goldstein, has been at the forefront of work on early European astronomical tables.

Authors: Massa-Esteve Maria Rosa
Published: August 2022

This work by Aristarchus belongs to ancient science, which may be considered in three fields of development: ∘ mathematics, especially that focused on the geometry in Euclid’s Elements or Archimedes’ works; ∘ astronomy, understood as a science that studies all the objects observed in the sky (i.e., the fixed stars, the Sun, the Moon, and the five planets) and their (apparent) movements; and, finally,∘ ancient physics as represented by Aristotle’s works.

Alessandro Palazzo and Anna Rodolfi, Prophecy and Prophets in the Middle Ages
Authors: Smoller Laura Ackerman
Published: August 2022

Scholars of medieval and early modern science have long been indebted to the editors of Micrologus and the Micrologus Library for a series of volumes that broaden the boundaries of the field and deepen our understanding of its contexts. This latest contribution to the Micrologus Library offers a wide view of medieval thinking about prophecy. As Palazzo and Rodolfi point out in their introduction to this collection of essays, while numerous scholars have written about prophecies and their various uses by medieval people, there has been far less attention given to philosophical and theological teachings about prophecy.

Aileen R. Das, Galen and the Arabic Reception of Plato’s Timaeus
Authors: Fancy Nahyan
Published: August 2022

The title of Aileen Das’ first monograph, Galen and the Arabic Reception of Plato’s Timaeus, may mislead readers into thinking that she is solely interested in contributing to the growing literature on reception studies of this important Platonic dialogue. As valuable as Das’ contributions to that literature are, in actual fact Das weaves through Greek, Arabic, and Hebrew texts and manuscripts to investigate the relationship between medicine and philosophy in Late Antique Roman and Islamic societies before 1200.
