Saving Truth: Roman Censorship and Catholic Pluralization in the Confessionals of the Habsburg Netherlands, 1682–1686
Authors: Boute Bruno
Published: March 2021

Why were seemingly innocent didactic prints on seven articles of the faith
that were, moreover, circulating in the Habsburg Netherlands for decades
censured and prohibited by the Roman Inquisition in 1682? The answer to
this question opens the way to a number of other conundrums that shaped
early modern Catholicism in the Lord’s Vineyard in Belgium as well as in
Roman palaces; to uncertainties that illuminate the dynamic relationship
between truth and salvation, between orthodoxy and orthopraxy, between
cognition of the faith and different forms of penitential practices in post-
Reformation Catholicism, and between the drive towards confessional
uniformity and a dynamic inner-confessional plurality.
The Production of Truth in the Manufacture of Saints. Procedures, Credibility and Patronage in Early Modern Processes of Canonization
Authors: Emich Birgit
Published: March 2021

This chapter traces the design of truthfulness and credibility in the two
modes of decision-making: bureaucratic procedures and spiritual and
liturgical settings that converged in the canonization of an early modern
blessed or saint. These procedures were linked with the careful framing or,
if necessary, obfuscation of local and clientelistic mechanisms that proved
pivotal to the manufacture of saintly personae, but that simultaneously
threatened to thwart the universal validity of the papal decision to elevate
a person to the honour of the altars, shedding light on the production of
truth in early modern Catholicism.
‘Experiences Are Not Successful Accompaniments to Knowledge of the Truth’
Authors: Fiorelli Vittoria
Published: March 2021

During the last decades of the seventeenth century, the Roman Inquisition
investigated a group of Neapolitan lawyers and legal scholars who, passionate
about scientific and geometric reasoning, tried to reformulate the very
concepts of science and truth. Leaving aside theoretical questions about
the heuristic methods of this group, this chapter focuses on the response of
the most reactionary wing of local society to this challenge, both in Naples
and in Rome. Worried by the emancipation from the principle of authority
taking shape in both lay and ecclesiastic culture, the Inquisition sought
to maintain control over the different forms of religious and intellectual
dissent unfolding in Naples.
Choosing Information, Selecting Truth: The Roman Congregations, the Benedictine Declaration, and the Establishment of Religious Plurality
Authors: Cristellon Cecilia
Published: March 2021

The Benedictine declaration (1741) affirmed that, in the Low Countries,
marriages between Protestants or mixed marriages contracted without
the formalities prescribed by the Tametsi were valid. The content, form,
and time of the Benedectina illustrate the Catholic Church”s intention to
reconcile its aspirations for a monopoly on doctrinal truth and universal
jurisdiction with limited enforcement capability. Without issuing a general
prohibition, for about 150 years Roman congregations collected information
on this flexible practice, searching for solutions on a case-by-case
basis. This information became a valuable resource for the purposes of
normative production.

Percutaneous Cavernous Nerve Electro-Stimulation for Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction
Authors: Hu Qing , Wang Wen-Zhi , Lv Bo-Dong , Lou Guo-Guang
Published: March 2021

Pelvic fracture urethral injury (PFUI) is the major etiological factor of neurological erectile dysfunction (NED). We reported a patient whose Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5) score was 7 (severe ED) and experienced a failed treatment of Tadalafil. NED was the final diagnosis made by examinations such as nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT), penile cavernous contrast and three-dimensional reconstruction and the penial dorsal nerve somatosensory evoked potential. Percutaneous cavernous nerve electro-stimulation was used as treatment for NED. After three courses of treatment, the IIEF-5 score was up to 18 points and the level of erection hardness was between grade III and IV. We concluded that percutaneous cavernous nerve electro-stimulation will be a new strategy to treat patients with NED with PFUI history.

Published: March 2021

Background and Objective: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a chronic degenerative disease characterized by pain, morning stiffness and swelling in the knee joints. And KOA is common in the elderly and seriously affects the exercise function and physical health of patients. This study aimed to explore the curative effects of patellar inward pushing method (PIPM) on KOA. Methods: In this study, we established rabbit animal models of KOA for the research by using the New Zealand white rabbits. A total of n=30 rabbits were divided into 5 groups by random number table method: blank group, model group, glucosamine hydrochloride (GH) group, PIPM group and PIPM combined with GH group. The rabbits were then modeled. Results: After 9-weeks cultured in groups, 5 ml blood was collected from the heart, and cytokines were detected. The result suggested that iNOS, NO and TNF-α were the pathogenic inflammatory factor of KOA, and aggravated cartilage damage and degeneration. Besides, this study indicated that PIPM combined with GH treatment significantly reduced the activity of inflammatory cytokines in serum and joint fluid of KOA models in rabbits. In addition, PIPM combined with GH therapy exhibited the best therapeutic effect among these treatments, which was working on KOA better than PIPM treatment alone or GH treatment alone.

Published: March 2021

Background and Objective: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) causes depression due to its painful course in patients. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of depression and find the association of depression with selected clinical variables in patients with ILD. Methods: This questionnaire based cross-sectional study was done at the department of pulmonology, District head quarter hospital Sahiwal from 1st Oct 2019 to 31st March 2020. The questionnaire was distributed among the diagnosed cases of ILD who presented in outpatient department of DHQ Sahiwal after taking informed consent. The depression scoring was done in them according to Beck depression inventory II. Frequency distribution statistics and inferential statistics were done by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20. P-value < 0.05 was taken as statistically significant. Results: Depression was graded into four types according to Beck depression inventory II scoring system. Depression levels of minimal, mild, severe and extremely severe were found to have frequencies of 42.90, 14.30, 31.40 and 11.4% respectively. Depression was more prevalent in females (77.14%). Sixty two percent of severely depressed had rural background. Three fourth (75%) of severely depressed patients were from lower class group. Half of the severely depressed patients were suffering from hypertension. One fourth had ischemic heart disease. Illiteracy dominated in severely depressed where 3/4th of the participants had not received any education. Our study found statistically significant result of Beck score with socioeconomic groups (P = 0.037). High statistically significant result was also found when Beck scoring was associated with co-morbidities (P = 0.001). Conclusions: The increased frequency of depression in the patients of ILD was associated with many demographic factors. The development of improved methods for the assessment of ILD and its co-morbidities could have profound effects on the quality of life and expected survival of ILD patients.

Authors: Xia Hai-ping , Niu Feng-Nan , Jin Biao , Zhao Kang-ren Zhao , Ma Rui , Yu Ming
Published: March 2021

Background and Objective: Mitochondrial encephalomyopathies represent a clinically heterogeneous group of disorders resulting from abnormal mitochondrial function. This study investigates the clinical and genetic characteristics of families with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy. Methods: The clinical manifestations, biopsy and gene detection were retrospectively analyzed for four probands with definitively diagnosed mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) from three families with MELAS and/or maternally inherited diabetes and deafness (MIDD). Results: The initial symptoms of probands were convulsive headache and/or epilepsy. The members of the three families also had diabetes, deafness, muscle weakness and short statures. Typical characteristics were indicated by muscle biopsy and gene detection in all. Conclusion: We reveal that the same family can have MIDD and MELAS cases, which clearly show that the unique mutation may cause different syndromes in one family. Neurologists should take into account more possibilities and phenotypes in screening and genetic counselling for the families of probands.

Background and Objective: Obesity is becoming a global issue related to many health problems, and infertility is one of them. It has been established in literature that obesity or increased body mass index (BMI) harms the ability of a woman to conceive. Assisted reproductive techniques e.g., in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) are helping infertile women to conceive. This study's objective was to analyze the effect of BMI on IVF/ICSI treatment outcomes in infertile women. Methods: This was a retrospective cross-sectional study. Samples of 500 patients aged less than 40 years were selected at a tertiary care infertility center: Lahore Institute of Fertility and Endocrinology, Hameed Latif Hospital. The sample was collected from January 2019 to June 2019. A structured proforma was used to collect information about selected anthropometric measurements and ultrasonography findings from the files and follow-ups of the selected patients. Data was processed and analyzed in Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0. Results: The age of the subjects ranged from 18 to 39 years, with a maximum number of subjects in the age category 31 to 35 years. BMI was significantly associated with number of follicles retrieved and clinical pregnancy rate (P= 0.001). Conclusion: Normal BMI has positive impact both on follicular response in controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) and clinical pregnancy rates in women undergoing IVF/ICSI treatment.

Published: March 2021

Abstract. By accurate predicting of pipe bursts, it is possible to schedule pipe maintenance, rehabilitation and improve the level of services in water distribution networks (WDNs). In this study, we aimed to implement five artificial intelligence and machine learning regression models such as multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS), M5' regression tree (M5'), Least square support vector regression (LS-SVR), fuzzy regression based on c-means clustering (FCMR) and regressive convolution neural network with support vector regression (RCNN-SVR) for predicting pipe burst rate and evaluating the performance of these models. The most effective parameters for regression models are pipes age, diameter, depth of installation, length, average and maximum hydraulic pressure. In the present study, collected data include 158 cases for polyethylene (PE) and 124 cases for asbestos cement (AC) pipes during 2012-2019. The results indicate that the RCNN-SVR model has a great performance of pipe burst rate (PBR) prediction.

Permanent-Magnet Synchronous Generator it can provide highly reliable power generation with small in size, no copper losses in the rotor circuit, no need for external excitation. We designed and simulated the PMSG with 12 slots and 8 poles with an alternating polarity magnet configuration: NN-SS-NN-SS-NN-SS-NN-SS-NN-SS-NN magnetic flux per pole in the outer stator and the inner stator has been assumed to be constant, following sizes and materials described in this paper. The generator's number of poles is determined by stacking several sections of the magnet side by side and grouping opposite poles in a continuous pattern. the initial design of the PMSG 12 slots and 8 poles outer-runner compare to see how the halbach array configuration changes the output parameter, it will be included. Proportional to the load size and speed The larger the magnetic flux generated by the movement of the magnetic field, the higher the rpm, and the heavier the coil magnetic flux obtained, the higher the induced voltage. This research use five speed variations varying from 1000 to 5000 rpm and load variation from 5 ohm, 15 ohm, 30 ohm, 60 ohm, and 100 ohm. With the effect that the flux distribution is voltage generated at a 5 ohm load only increases at 1000 rpm, while the increase in torque produces an increase in the amount of input power at 30 ohm, which is equal to both the speed and the amount of torque, where the input power increases at all speeds at a load of 30 ohm. This also arises when the output power generated at a load of 30 ohm increases by a high efficiency of over 86%.

Published: March 2021

A problem found in transportation is road narrowing. Road narrowing refers to a condition in which its downstream is smaller than the upstream. This research took place on Ahmad Yani Street at the front of Royal Plaza, Surabaya. The location of this research had a sufficiently high traffic flow. Thus, the road should be able to operate optimally. In fact, there is still a density caused by road narrowing. This research was intended to determine how much the maximum flow, maximum density and free speed on the road before, during and after the narrowing. Besides, this research was carried out to find out the relation of the flow, the traffic density and speed, determine the value of the shock waves during the road narrowing. This research was done on Wednesday and Saturday morning, at 06:00-08:00 and in the afternoon at 16:00-18:00. The calculation performed was based on Greenshield method. The analysis revealed that the largest maximum flow was on the fragment of road before narrowing, which was 2376.30 pcu/hour. The maximum density found on the fragment of road during narrowing was 322.33 pcu/hour, and the highest free speed regarding to the road condition before the narrowing was 57.21 km/hour. The relation between flow, speed and density showed a significant result (R2> 0.5). Shock waves obtained were in the mornings and afternoons on Wednesday and Saturday,
Professional Socialization of Foreign-Born Scholars into U.S. Academe: A Reflective Case Study
Authors: LARROTTA Clarena , CHUNG Heejae
Published: March 2021

Utilizing a reflective case study approach and the constant comparative method, two foreign-born scholars examine their experiences through the professional socialization process in the distinct U.S. academe arenas (e.g., cultural, institutional, interactive). The research questions guiding the study are: (1) What does the professional socialization of foreign-born scholars into U.S. academe entail? (2) What is traditionally expected of a scholar starting an academic career? (3) How can emergent scholars systematically reflect and learn about the profession? Video-conference meetings, transcripts and notes, email messages, and individual written reflective journal entries constitute the data collection sources. The narratives collected were analyzed following the constant comparative method: (a) comparing different people, (b) comparing data from same individual at different points in time, (c) comparing incident with incident, (d) comparing data with category, and (e) comparing category with other categories. In addition, selective coding, grouping categories to reduce data, synthesizing, and explaining the data, were also part of the data analysis process. Meaningful narratives support the results of the analysis and illustrate study findings through four themes: The holy trinity of academia, role models and mentors, matrix of professional socialization, and lessons learned. The need to re-conceptualize the professional socialization process of emergent scholars became evident. Without a doubt, to succeed in the U.S. academe, emergent scholars must prepare for teaching, research, and service expectations. However, as illustrated in the matrix for professional socialization, mastering these areas requires gaining understanding of values, traditions, politics, rules, and morals that regulate the academic society.

Authors: Romano Fillipe Soares , Uvinha Ricardo Ricci
Published: March 2021

O futebol é parte integrante da cultura e da história do Brasil. Levando em conta a característica internacional de ser o “país do futebol”, o turismo usufruiu desse elemento simbólico para propor espaços e equipamentos construídos em torno desta temática. O Turismo Esportivo, segmento onde se inserem as discussões que envolvem a aproximação entre turismo e futebol, pode ser caracterizado por três diferentes tipologias: Turismo de Prática Esportiva; Turismo de Eventos Esportivos; e o Turismo de Nostalgia. Este último, o de Nostalgia, engloba turistas de estádios, arenas ou museus esportivos motivados pelo conhecimento de novas culturas, realidades, significados e estruturas. O objetivo do presente estudo é o de analisar os relatórios divulgados pela OS ID Brasil que administra o Museu do Futebol na cidade de São Paulo e correlacioná-lo ao referencial teórico sobre o Turismo Esportivo, oferecendo subsídios para a discussão desses espaços. Intenta-se abordá-los não somente como patrimônios culturais, mas também como atrativos turísticos em seu potencial para a criação de políticas públicas e o fomento ao turismo esportivo. A pesquisa é de caráter descritivo, tendo como procedimentos metodológicos as análises bibliográfica e documental correlacionados às atividades turísticas de esporte e lazer (produtos, demandas, serviços, atrativos, rotas e itinerários).

Os estádios são emaranhados constituídos por uma infraestrutura de cimento com uma forma determinada, que separa jogadores de torcedores, torcedores que acessam o jogo dos que não o fazem, torcedores que estão no estádio entre si, de acordo com critérios variados. O objetivo é apresentar os estádios como territórios do encontro entre o jogar e o torcer, a partir de uma narrativa em diacronia, identificado as principais transformações pelas quais passaram essas edificações desde a chegada do futebol ao Brasil. Procuro destacar, inicialmente, a quantidade e diversidade dos estádios brasileiros, evitando reduzir o debate às edificações mais portentosas. Também pretendo identificar os principais pontos de inflexões a partir dos quais pode-se notar mudanças em termos de função e significado desses emaranhados incrustrados às paisagens urbanas.
Supporters as Heritage: Engaging Fans to Tell the Whole Story
Authors: Whitehead Eleanor
Published: March 2021

This text provides an overview of the Manchester United Museum’s size and scope, as
well as a more in-depth look at how the museum’s collections are managed. Visitor demographics and their interactions with collections are examined, as are the ways in which they form emotional connections with museum objects; recognising that visitors see themselves as standing within the club’s history rather than outside it. The report takes into account best practice at other UK museums as well as guidelines and reports produced by the UK’s Museums Association. These contextualise the ways in which the Manchester United Museum has worked to better engage with visitors, through public participation and community projects. The way oral history interviews are now being employed to gather stories about the club is also discussed, as well as the challenges faced when trying to find and record underrepresented demographics. Finally, the report briefly looks at how the museum is following the lead of other departments in the club moving towards achieving a greater online presence, in order to continue to engage with global
fans in the face of an unprecedented pandemic.

Published: March 2021

Objective: To detect factors related with loss to follow-up (LTF) in neonatal hearing screening (NHS) program of one institution in a developing country. Methods: A prospective study was planned based on the data collected in a pilot study conducted a year before in the same institution. In this pilot study, hearing screening was performed before hospital discharge for every infant (1217 newborns) in six months period. Total referral rate was 19.1% (223/1217). Loss to follow-up (LTF) was 38.1% (85/223). Telephonic interviews were done with 50 parents who had not come with their child to the second hearing test. For these telephonic interviews the questionnaire with four sections (socio-demographic information; information about pregnancy, birth, and present health condition of the child; caregiver knowledge of neonatal hearing screening, and reasons for default on follow-up) was created. Results: The mothers participated in this study were 29.1 years (±5.2 SD) of age in average. Place of residence was mostly rural (64%; n=32) with 39.4 Km (±24.8 SD) away from from the rescreen referral center. Their knowledge on neonatal hearing screening, hearing impairment incidence or treatment opportunities was at a very low level. Caregivers’ perceptions that follow-up was unnecessary (50%; n=25), was most frequently given reason for follow-up default, followed by newborns bad health condition (12%; n=6) and forgetting about the follow-up visits (8%; n=6). Conclusion: The main reason for default in follow-up in our study was caregiver’s poor knowledge about this topic.
A Rare Cause of ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction in COVID-19: MINOCA Syndrome
Authors: Eroğlu Serkan Emre , Ademoğlu Enis , Bayram Samet , Aksel Gökhan
Published: March 2021

Myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) is defined as having a stenosis of less than 50% or no stenosis in coronary angiography in a patient diagnosed with myocardial infarction. Because of its thrombogenic predisposition in COVID-19, the diagnosis of MINOCA syndrome is rarely thought in the patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial Infarction on electrocardiogram. In this case report, we discuss a 47-year-old male patient diagnosed with MINOCA who was followed up with respiratory failure due to COVID-19 viral pneumonia in intensive care unit. His 12-lead electrocardiogram showed “inferior STEMI”. A 30-40% stenosis was also shown in the midportion of left anterior descending artery in emergency coronary angiography. The patient had a normal computed tomographic pulmonary angiography and was discharged with a full recovery. MINOCA may be triggered by hyperinflammation or various processes due to COVID-19. To explain these processes associated with MINOCA syndrome, further clinical trials are needed.

Published: March 2021

Pheochromocytoma is a catecholamine-secreting adrenal tumor and also a rare cause of secondary hypertension in pregnancy. Its low prevalence, nonspecific clinical presentation, and symptoms similar to preeclampsia generate a diagnostic challenge during pregnancy. A 23-year-old hypertensive pregnant woman at 36th gestational week of her first pregnancy was admitted with severe hypertension (210/150 mmHg), headache and proteinuria that made us presume the case as severe preeclampsia. In spite of starting with maximum doses of antihypertensive medications like IV labetolol,and oral nifedipine, loading dose of an anticonvulsant drug, and IV magnesium sulphate, her symptoms persisted. Keeping in view the risks involved to mother and fetus, we delivered the baby by emergency cesarean section. In the postoperative period, along with severe uncontrolled hypertension, she developed tremors, palpitation, and sweating that all led us to further diagnostic workup for secondary causes of hypertension. Eventually, a diagnosis of pheochromocytoma was confirmed by abdominopelvic contrast- enhanced computed tomography and by increased 24-hour urine metanephrine, normetanephrine, and vanillylmandelic acid levels. Subsequently, adrenal suppression was achieved by a multidisciplinary approach, and then she underwent laparoscopic adrenalectomy. This case highlights the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion and multidisciplinary approach while investigating secondary causes of hypertension in young women, thereby differentiating it from preeclampsia.

Children enjoy legal protection under international humanitarian law and international human rights law. In situations of armed conflict, children are granted not only general protection as civilians, but special protection as children. Several legal provisions exist in the Geneva Conventions and its Additional Protocols, along with the Convention on the Rights of Child and its Second Optional Protocol on Children in Armed Conflicts. However, despite the current legal framework providing protective rights to children, there are serious issues of compliance by non-state actors, particularly in reference to inducting and using child soldiers. This highlights several legal challenges to international humanitarian law vis a vis the diminished protection of children taking direct part in hostilities. This article discusses the current legal regime protecting children in armed conflict, who take direct and indirect part in hostilities. Thereafter, an analysis is made of situations of international and non-international armed conflicts and the difference in protections accorded to these children, respectively. Lastly, an analysis is made of the compliance mechanisms that may be developed for non-state actors under international humanitarian law to prevent recruitment of children for taking direct or indirect part in hostilities. The issues of compliance by non-state actors and possible responses to such challenges are also addressed.
