This article delves into the realm of public health policies through the lens of
One Health approach, through multi sectorial integration focusing on public health
events related to climate change. Isiolo county serves as a pertinent backdrop,
experiencing the emergence and re-emergence of diseases such as Covid-19, Rift Valley
Fever (RVF), Yellow fever, and Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs), amidst climatic
changes such as drought and erratic rainfall patterns. The region's challenging terrain,
arid conditions, and socio-economic vulnerabilities with poverty index at 72.5% and GAM
rate of 17.8%, agricultural adversities, leading to decreased crop yields and heightened
livestock mortality rates. One Health approach is pivotal in addressing health
challenges comprehensively and promoting holistic well-being. The approach aims to
control diseases, ensure food safety, and enhance community resilience by integrating
veterinary, Environment (rangeland health) and human health sectors, The
operationalization is mixed-methods cross-sectional and longitudinal designed to reach
vulnerable communities in remote areas. An effective strategy necessitates collaboration
among veterinary, environmental, and human health sectors, exemplified by a
multi-sectoral response effort initiated during the Rift Valley Fever outbreak in
November 2020. This effort involved various stakeholders such as the National Zoonotic
Disease Unit, HEAL partners, and government departments. Capacity building of key
community actors and Health care workers emerged as a crucial strategy, with emphasis on
hygiene practices, prevention of zoonotic diseases, weather forecasting, and
environmental conservation. Result showcase significant progress, including improved
disease surveillance and prevention efforts, with improved referrals for diagnosis and
treatment. One Health integrated outreach programs address socio-economic challenges,
reaching thousands of households for both human and animal health. The County has a
comprehensive five-year one health strategic plan aligned to the County integrated
development plan. Analysis highlights achievements such as the development of a training
manual and MOU of the three directorates. Lesson learned underscores the importance of
multisectoral coordination, collaboration, capacity building and effective communication
for One Health operationalization. Keywords: One Health, public health events, public
health policies, collaboration, multidisciplinary, multisectoral coordination, One

Wie dies genau gelingt und welche Rahmenbedingungen es dafür braucht, beschreiben die Autor:innen ganz konkret in diesem Buch.
In der Tiefe der Wüste
Authors: Gerber Michael
Published: September 2024

Anstößig-steinig und zum großen Teil selbstverschuldet: Nachdem die Kundschafter des Neuen nicht gehört wurden, ist das Gottesvolk viele Jahrzehnte in der Wüste unterwegs. Was die Bibel beschreibt, kennzeichnet in gewisser Weise auch den Zustand der Kirche. Damals wie heute gibt es jedoch die Erfahrung: Gott kann gerade durch Wüstenwege sein Volk formen und neu ausrichten. Diese Neuausrichtung zielt sowohl auf strukturelle Elemente als auch auf eine erneuerte Kultur und eine dafür notwendige Haltung der einzelnen Akteure. Die Notwendigkeit von Strukturreformen voraussetzend ist der Autor mit unterschiedlichen Menschen und Verantwortungsträgern der Frage nachgegangen: Wo zeigen sich – gerade im "Sand und Staub" und in manchem "Schutt der Jahrzehnte" – kleine Pflänzchen, die auf eine künftige Kultur verweisen? Wie kann das Evangelium die gemeinsame Suche und Ausrichtung auf den Auftrag des Herrn für seine Kirche im Jetzt durchdringen und wie führt es zugleich Menschen in eine innere Freiheit? Der Autor stellt Prinzipien vor, die im Bistum Fulda die Basis für zukünftige Entscheidungen bilden werden und weit über Fulda hinaus anregend und hilfreich sind. Persönliche Praxisreflexionen von Bischof Gerber regen dazu an, eigenen Erfahrungen auf die Spur zu kommen und sich auf Wüstenwegen nicht entmutigen zu lassen.
Wannsee
Authors: vasiliadis Jochen , Schmale Holger
Published: September 2024

Der Wannsee ist ein See im Süden Berlins – und er ist viel mehr als das. Er steht für die dunkelsten und auch die leichtesten Kapitel der deutschen Geschichte. Im 19. Jahrhundert wurde er zum Sehnsuchtsort für die stadtgeplagten Eliten; auf der Wannsee-Konferenz wurde die Ermordung der europäischen Juden organisiert; die USA und die Sowjetunion tauschten im Kalten Krieg auf der Glienicker Brücke Spione aus; und er inspirierte zahlreiche Künstler und Schriftsteller. Die Häuser an seinen Ufern gehören zu den teuersten Deutschlands, während sich im Strandbad die erholen, die der Stadt nur stundenweise entfliehen können. Hunderttausende Touristen besuchen ihn jedes Jahr. Der Wannsee ist so nicht nur ein Schicksalsort der Deutschen, sondern auch ein Mythos, der bis heute weitergesponnen, besungen und vereinnahmt wird.
Helmbrecht von Wernher dem Gärtner
Authors: Tersch Christopher
Published: September 2024

At first glance, the verse novella ‘Helmbrecht’ by Wernher the Gardener, written around 1280, appears to be a text about social and family order. However, beneath the surface lies a moral and theological message that corresponds to the fourth commandment and the wisdom literature of the Old Testament. The plot, the characters, the major and minor text structures can be interpreted as religiously motivated. The approach of the study not only offers „Helmbrecht“ researchers further approaches. It can also be a stimulus to investigate deeper moral and theological traces in other medieval texts that initially appear ‘secular’.
Elitenbildung im kulturellen und historischen Vergleich
Authors: Waldmann Peter
Published: September 2024

Die vorliegende Studie weicht von der in der Elitensoziologie verbreiteten Auffassung ab, dass die gesellschaftlichen und politischen Spitzenpositionen von Aspiranten besetzt werden, die sich im allgemeinen Konkurrenzkampf als besonders tüchtig und durchsetzungsfähig bewährt haben. Kritisiert wird daran meist, dass im Auswahlprozess Angehörige der niederen sozialen Schichten benachteiligt würden. Das Ausleseverfahren als solches bleibt dabei außen vor. Peter Waldmanns Studie setzt hier mit der Frage an: Was müssen Gesellschaften tun, damit die jeweils Klügsten, Erfahrensten und Leistungsstärksten Führungspositionen einnehmen? Nicht zuletzt weil das heutige Elitenspektrum westlicher Gesellschaften weit vom Ideal der Elitenbildung abzuweichen scheint, verlangt diese Frage nach Klärung. Zu diesem Zweck geht die Studie historisch und kulturvergleichend vor. Sie umfasst in zeitlicher Hinsicht die Ära des Feudalismus und die sich daran anschließende Industrialisierungsphase, geht aber, von Ausnahmen abgesehen, nicht über die späten 70er Jahre des vergangenen Jahrhunderts hinaus. Der kulturelle Bogen der Untersuchung umspannt neben Deutschland auch Frankreich, die USA, Japan und China. Die Arbeit führt zu einigen transkulturell gültigen Einsichten: Den funktionalen Mittelpunkt der Elitenbildung bildete die Oberschichtfamilie, der aufgrund ihres Vermögens, ihres über die Generationen hinweg angesammelten Erfahrungsschatzes sowie eines den Nachkommen tradierten Tugendkanons eine Schlüsselrolle in der Aufrechterhaltung der Elitenkontinuität zufiel. Auf die Primärsozialisation im Schoße der Familie folgte meistens eine Anlern- und Schulungsphase durch einen überlegenen Lehrmeister, der Eliteanwärter auf künftige Herrschafts- und Führungsaufgaben vorbereitete. Ein dritter in seiner Bedeutung nicht zu unterschätzender Bildungsfaktor war der Umstand, dass der Ausleseprozess nicht gemäß abstrakter Regeln erfolgte, sondern auf der Basis von Anweisungen und Direktiven konkreter Personen.
Recent Advances in Bamboo Research, Product Development and Utilisation in Nigeria
Authors: Olorunnisola Abel
Published: September 2024

Bamboos are available in all the thirty-six States of the Nigerian Federation, the most common species being Bambusa vulgaris. Bamboos are traditionally used for scaffolding in building construction, fencing, staking in farms, handicraft and furniture production, and cooking. Research and development advances in Nigerian universities and research centres in the last twenty years have, however, promoted modern forms of bamboo utilisation in various ways. These include documentation of various properties of locally grown bamboos, development of machines and equipment for bamboo processing, as well as development of modern bamboo products. A few bamboo processing factories have also sprung up in recent years. However, enterprises based on modern bamboo processing techniques are still not common in the country. This Chapter presents a review of the progress made thus far in bamboo processing and product development in Nigeria, discusses the prospects of, and constraints to commercialization of locally developed modern bamboo products, and highlights the way forward.

Published: September 2024

Tryptophan is an essential amino acid. It is metabolized through two main pathways: the kynurenine pathway and the methoxyidol pathway. The intestinal microbiota has been identified as a modifier of the metabolism of tryptophan and its derived metabolites. The resulting metabolites can trigger immune, metabolic, and neuronal effects, at the systemic and distant levels, as well as therapeutic specific and nonspecific targets. The reader reviewing this content will learn the importance of tryptophan biotransformation through metabolism and the host-microbiome complex, the formation of serotonin and kynurenine, the pathways of unwinding and the physiological effects of metabolites within the intestinal part, energy metabolism and neurotransmitters. The effects and pathologies that dysregulation may have with this metabolism will be reviewed, as well as the therapeutic targets and related drugs.

Published: September 2024

The organic tradition is the key to sound development of agriculture. The post green revolution era has lead to numerous challenges before the ecosystem, researchers and human health. Organic fruits are anticipated as higher nutritional content than conventionally grown fruits. The guava (Psidium guajava L.) is considered as potential, nutritional and important crop in India. It is well recognized for its medicinal values as it is rich source of antioxidants, secondary metabolites such as antimicrobial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory compounds. Guava fruits are employed for various cure viz., dysentery, diabetes, diarrehoea etc. Organic manures contains macro as well as micronutrients, plant growth promoting substances such as auxin, gibberellin and cytokinin. The positive response of combined application of different organic manures are proved by many researchers. The amendment of different organic manures in combinations can enhance the quality attributes and yield of guava fruits. At the same time, it is environment-friendly, sustaining soil fertility and productivity. The various fruit quality attributes viz., TSS, titrable acidity, sugar content, pectin content, ascorbic acid and TSS/Acidity ratio are discussed in this chapter.

Authors: J. Gomez Hector , Carrizosa Jaime , Kumar Shivanshu , P. Singh Samara , Singh Sunanda , S. Parihar Ashutosh
Published: September 2024

The Chikungunya virus has caused numerous epidemics in recent decades. The initial phase of the illness is severe and disabling, leading to joint pain and long-lasting joint problems. It can also result in nervous system issues and, in severe cases, encephalomyelitis in older individuals. While a vaccine was approved last year, effective treatment is still unavailable. However, a cell-penetrating nano-antibody has been designed and is currently in development. Laboratory studies show that it can inhibit the virus by up to 99% (with an EC50 of 5.05 μM). This new compound is a STAT3 inhibitor, and it is effective against several other viruses. Effective treatment of viral infections is essential to prevent the development of chronic inflammatory conditions that may lead to the onset of serious diseases, including neurodegenerative and other severe conditions.

целью исследования является оценка состояния микроциркуляции в приживающем кожном лоскуте в условиях стимуляции регенеративных процессов КВЧ-излучением и системной озонотерапией. Первая группа состояла из интактных крыс (n=20). Остальным животным на эпилированной поверхности спины было осуществлено формирование приживающего кожного лоскута. В контрольной группе (n=20) после операции животные не получали лечебных процедур. Животные 1 основной группы (n=20) получали обработку электромагнитным излучением с диапазоном частот 53–78 ГГц (КВЧ), 2 основной группы (n=20) – внутрибрюшинные инъекции озонированного физиологического раствора (концентрация озона– 3000 мкг/л) ежедневно в течение 7 дней, 3 основной группы (n=20) – ежедневую обработку источником КВЧ и внутрибрюшинную озонотерапию. Контроль динамики микроциркуляции осуществляли в проксимальном, срединном и дистальном отделах лоскута по данным лазерной доплеровской флоуметрии. Установлено, что применение излучения КВЧ-диапазона способствует оптимизации приживления кожного лоскута, снижая размеры зоны некроза за счет усиления микроциркуляции. Данный эффект усиливается при дополнении КВЧ-терапии курсом введения озонированного физиологического раствора.

the aim of the study is to assess the state of microcirculation in the healing skin flap under conditions of stimulation of regenerative processes by l electromagnetic radiation and systemic ozone therapy. The first group consisted of healthy rats (n=20). The rest of the animals underwent the formation of a healing skin flap on the epilated surface of the back. In the control group (n=20), the animals did not receive treatment after surgery. Animals of the 1st main group (n=20) were treated with electromagnetic radiation with a frequency range of 53-78 GHz (EHF). In the 2nd main group (n=20), rats received intraperitoneal injections of ozonated physiological solution (ozone dose – 3000 mcg/l) daily for 7 days. Animals of the 3 main groups (n=20) underwent daily treatment with a EHF source and intraperitoneal ozone therapy. The dynamics of microcirculation in the operated flap was monitored in the proximal, median and distal sections according to laser Doppler flowmetry. It has been established that the use of electromagnetic radiation of the EHF band helps to optimize the engraftment of the skin flap, reducing the size of the necrosis zone by enhancing microcirculation. This effect is enhanced by supplementing EHF therapy with a course of administration of ozonated saline solution.

исследование посвящено изучению особенностей психологической готовности учеников в процессе перехода между различными уровнями образования. Цель статьи заключается в изучении психологической готовности учащихся к переходу в основную школу. Задачи исследования: 1) рассмотрение теоретических аспектов психологической готовности через призму функционального и личностного подходов; 2) анализ результатов эмпирического исследования психологической готовности детей к переходу в основную общую школу на материалах учащихся четвертых классов школы № 956 г. Москвы. Полученные данные показали значительный уровень когнитивного развития, однако выявили тревожность и низкую мотивацию у значительной части учащихся. Корреляционный анализ указал на отрицательную связь между уровнями тревожности и мотивации, что подчеркивает вероятность того, что эмоционально-волевые факторы могут оказать решающее влияние на успешность перехода учащихся в основную общую школу. Исследование подчеркивает необходимость комплексного подхода в образовательной практике, включая психологическую поддержку учащихся для облегчения их перехода и адаптации в новой учебной среде. Полученные в статье результаты могут применяться на практике в ходе разработки мероприятий по преодолению у школьников психологических барьеров, тревожности и недостаточной мотивации к обучению, восприятию и анализу учебного материала.

Published: September 2024

контроль послеоперационной боли представляет собой одну из ключевых задач в стоматологии, особенно после удаления третьих моляров нижней челюсти. Ибупрофен и ацетаминофен широко используются для снятия боли, но их сравнительная эффективность остается спорной. В данном исследовании изучалось обезболивающее действие ибупрофена и ацетаминофена. В исследование включены 100 пациентов в возрасте от 18 до 35 лет, случайным образом разделенных на основные и контрольные группы. Основная группа получала ибупрофен в дозировке 400 мг каждые 6 часов, а контрольная группа – ацетаминофен в дозировке 500 мг с аналогичной частотой на протяжении 48 часов после операции. Интенсивность боли оценивалась с использованием визуально-аналоговой шкалы (ВАШ) через 6, 12, 24 и 48 часов. Проводился анализ уровня С-реактивного белка (СРБ) и интерлейкина-6 (ИЛ-6) для оценки воспалительного ответа. Установлено, что пациенты, принимавшие ибупрофен, испытывали значительно меньшую боль на всех временных интервалах, что подтверждалось статистическим анализом. Средние значения боли были ниже в группе, принимавшей ибупрофен, а также наблюдалось более эффективное снижение уровней СРБ и ИЛ-6. Данные результаты подтверждают более высокую эффективность ибупрофена в управлении послеоперационной болью и воспалением по сравнению с ацетаминофеном. Полученные результаты могут быть использованы для разработки рекомендаций по оптимизации лечения боли после удаления третьих моляров.

сontrolling postoperative pain is one of the key tasks in dentistry, especially following the extraction of third molars in the mandible. Ibuprofen and acetaminophen are widely used for pain relief, but their comparative efficacy remains controversial. This study examined the analgesic effects of ibuprofen and acetaminophen. The study included 100 patients aged 18 to 35 years, randomly divided into main and control groups. The main group received ibuprofen at a dose of 400 mg every 6 hours, while the control group received acetaminophen at a dose of 500 mg with the same frequency for 48 hours postoperatively. Pain intensity was assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS) at 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours. Levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were analyzed to assess the inflammatory response. It was found that patients taking ibuprofen experienced significantly less pain at all time intervals, as confirmed by statistical analysis. Mean pain scores were lower in the ibuprofen group, and there was also a more effective reduction in CRP and IL-6 levels. These results confirm the higher efficacy of ibuprofen in managing postoperative pain and inflammation compared to acetaminophen. The findings can be used to develop recommendations for optimizing pain management following the removal of third molars.

This study used the Daily Spiritual Experience Scale (DSES) questionnaire and the Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS) questionnaire. Results: Descriptive analysis showed that the majority of elderly at nursing home in Banyuwangi had a high level of spirituality (50.0%) and a high level of psychological well-being (38.1%). Based on the Kendall's Tau b correlation test, the p-value was 0.001, indicating there is relationship between spirituality and the level of psychological well-being in the elderly at nursing home in Banyuwangi. The results of the r-value was +0.487, show there is a positive correlation which means the higher the level of spirituality in the elderly, the higher the level of psychological well-being. Conclussion: spirituality has an important role in improving the psychological well-being of the elderly, so efforts can be made to improve the psychological well-being in the elderly by increasing spirituality in the elderly.
ACTIVE ANTING BEHAVIOR IN RED-CRESTED CARDINAL PAROARIA CORONATA AND RUFOUS-COLLARED SPARROW ZONOTRICHIA CAPENSIS
Authors: Chatellenaz Mario Luis
Published: September 2024

Over 200 bird species exhibit a behavior known as anting, wherein birds spread ants or other arthropods, along with their secretions, to their plumage. Anting is hypothesized to serve purposes such as controlling skin bacteria or fungi, repelling ectoparasites, alleviating skin irritation during molting, or pre-treating ants prior to ingestion. In this note, I present the first records of anting behavior in an adult Red-crested Cardinal Paroaria coronata, and in an adult and a juvenile Rufous-collared Sparrow Zonotrichia capensis. These birds rubbed ants of Camponotus mus (Formicidae: Formicinae) on their feathers. The cardinal rubbed the ants on the remiges of both wings, similar to the juvenile sparrow, while the adult sparrow applied them on its fairly deteriorated rectrices. In none of the cases were the ants consumed. These observations suggest that, at least in adult sparrows, the application of ants responded to the presence of ectoparasites.
Legal and extra legal issues in journalism practice in Nigeria
Authors: Adams Emmanuel Jibb , Amarachi Ofordi Joy
Published: September 2024

This research investigates the impediments faced by Nigerian journalists in upholding press freedom. Employing a mixed-methods approach that incorporates scholarly literature, legal documents, and media reports, the study identifies both legal and extra-legal challenges journalists encounter. Hinge on Libertarian Media Theory, these challenges include restrictive legislation, political influence, economic hardship, societal prejudices, safety concerns, self-censorship, and threats to media autonomy. Methodologically, the paper used a mixed-methods approach, combining analysis of scholarly literature, legal documents, and media reports with in-depth interviews with NUJ members. The interviews explored journalists' experiences with legal and extra-legal challenges, and the data were analyzed to identify themes. The research also explores the Nigerian Union of Journalists’ (NUJ) role in supporting journalists and press freedom.  Findings from in-depth interviews with NUJ members reveal the significant impact of these constraints on media professionals. The study concludes with a call for increased engagement and proactive measures to address the systemic issues undermining press freedom in Nigeria.  Among the recommendations, the research emphasizes the need for legislative reforms to revise or repeal outdated laws that restrict free expression. This effort should involve collaboration between government officials, legal experts, and civil society organizations to ensure alignment with international standards.
TINJAUAN MAQASHID SYARI'AH TERHADAP AKAD NIKAH ONLINE
Authors: Murniati  , Sholihah Firda
Published: September 2024

The validity of a marriage depends on fulfilling the terms and conditions of marriage. In the implementation of online marriage contracts, there are differences in the fulfillment of the pillars and conditions of the marriage, such as not gathering the bride and groom, the guardian of the marriage, and two witnesses in one place when the consent or marriage contract takes place, which has become a topic of discussion among ulama and legal experts. The reason is, there is still a lot of debate regarding this law. From the phenomenon of implementing online marriage contracts, questions arise regarding how online marriage contracts are carried out and how maqashid sharia reviews the implementation of online marriage contracts. This research aims to analyze how the online marriage contract is implemented and analyze the maqashid sharia review of the implementation of the online marriage contract. This research uses qualitative methods with the type of library research. The data collection technique used is documentation. From the results of this research, the author found that the implementation of the online marriage contract fulfilled the pillars and requirements of marriage. Apart from that, marriage contracts carried out online are also in accordance with maqashid sharia in terms of hifdz ad-din because it protects people from adultery which can damage honor, hifdz an-nafs because it protects the soul from things that threaten safety due to the Covid-19 pandemic and udzur one of the bride and groom, as well as hifdz an-nasl because marriage will produce offspring who can maintain continuity between generations. The implementation of an online marriage contract is legally permissible if it meets the pillars and requirements of marriage and meets the maqashid of sharia.
„Afacerea Sokal”. Răfuiala cu Bruno Latour
Authors:   Universitatea din Bucuresti, Stoenescu Constantin
Published: September 2024

Alain Sokal conceived his paper “Transgressing the Boundaries: Toward a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Mechanics” (1996) as a test through which he aimed to reveal the partisan sensitivity and conformist superficiality of the editors towards a text that flattered their ideological prejudices. In fact, the study is a parody of post-modern thought disguised as the promise of revealing the philosophical and political implications of twentieth-century physics. One of his main targets was the social constructivism theory proposed by Bruno Latour. My goal in this paper is to outline Latour’s theory in its main aspects so that we can see to what extent it is vulnerable to such criticism. It follows that Latour’s theory cannot be reduced to a simple lexical and ideological conformism, but there are other much more serious critical arguments that raise issues worthy of being taken into account.
Conceptul de „senzaţie” în estetica lui Kazimir Malevici. Intre absenta si virtualitate
Authors:   Universitatea Nationala de Arte din Bucuresti, Grusea Dragos
Published: September 2024

Kazimir Malevich is one of those artists who wanted to turn his own vision of art into a metaphysics. This study aims to outline the main ideas of the theory developed by Malevich in order to better understand the artistic concept of sensation and its links with the philosophy of the turn of the century. It is shown that the idea of understanding sensation from the contrast between two squares originates in Ernst Mach’s Analysis of Sensations. After a description of the first part of Malevich’s book The non-objective World, the article focuses on the sensation of absence and its ability to generate other sensations without recourse to objects. At the end of the study, the concept of sensation, as it is understood by Malevich, is analysed from the perspective of virtual reality.

It’s April Cools! Last year I wrote about friendship bracelets and the year before about cocktails. This year it’s parenting. Parenting articles are a dime a dozen and always bury the lede behind a long story. I’ll skip that. How to think about your child and your role as a parent These are framing devices. Concrete things to do to work toward these are in the next section.
Group Actions and Hashing Unordered Multisets
Authors: Kun Jeremy
Published: September 2024

I learned of a neat result due to Kevin Ventullo that uses group actions to study the structure of hash functions for unordered sets and multisets. This piqued my interest because a while back a colleague asked me if I could think of any applications of “pure” group theory to practical computer programming that were not cryptographic in nature.

Remez and function approximations
Authors: Kun Jeremy
Published: September 2024

I’ve been learning recently about how to approximate functions by low-degree polynomials. This is useful in fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) in the context of “arithmetic FHE” (see my FHE overview article), where the computational model makes low-degree polynomials cheap to evaluate and non-polynomial functions expensive or impossible. In browsing the state of the art I came across two interesting things.

Previous posts in this series: Silent Duels and an Old Paper of Restrepo Silent Duels—Parsing the Construction Last time we waded into Restrepo’s silent duel paper. You can see the original and my re-typeset version on Github along with all of the code in this series. We digested Section 2 and a bit further, plotting some simplified examples of the symmetric version of the game. I admit, this paper is not an easy read.
Hanabi: a card game for logicians
Authors: Kun Jeremy
Published: September 2024

Mathematics students often hear about the classic “blue-eyed islanders” puzzle early in their career. If you haven’t seen it, read Terry Tao’s excellent writeup linked above. The solution uses induction and the idea of *common knowledge—*I know X, and you know that I know X, and I know that you know that I know X, and so on—to make a striking inference from a seemingly useless piece of information.
