Published: November 2022

Background: Numerous studies propose a tailored ablation
strategy based on the identification of low-voltage zones (LVZs) for the
treatment of persistent atrial fibrillation (PsAF). Objective:
We evaluated a systematic approach of a tailored PsAF ablation strategy
(SATA) using an orthogonal mapping catheter. Method: This is a
single center observational study comparing 36-month patient outcome of
the SATA strategy with the outcome of a matching Control Group (CG)
treated with wide antral circumferential ablation technique (WACA) and
additional linear lesions . SATA consists of different phases.
Firstly, during ongoing AF temporal stable and regular rotational
activities get identified and treated together with isolation of
pulmonary veins performed with WACA. Secondly during sinus rhythm PVI
will be confirmed, and any gaps will be isolated together with treatment
of LVZs compatible with non-compact atrial fibrosis. Results:
WACA was the only treatment performed in 80.6% of the SATA patients
versus 30.5% of the CG (p= 0.001). During the follow-up a lower mean
number of AF recurrences per patient were observed in the SATA patients
compared to CG. The Kaplan-Meier curve show significantly less first
recurrence of AF in the SATA patients (log rank test 0.031). The
analysis of all recurrences by means of the Incidence Rate and the Rate
Ratio show that the risk per unit of time of having AF recurrence in the
SATA patients is less than half compared to the CG (p=0.009). The
performance analysis expressed by the success of all ablation
procedures, demonstrated that in the SATA patients the risk of having a
double procedure is less than one fifth compared to the CG (p=0.009).
Conclusions: In our experience the SATA strategy was more
effective than rigorous PVI and additional linear lesions.

Authors: Chen Yating , liu chentao , wang xia , Zheng Xiangrong
Published: November 2022

Background: Lysinuric protein tolerance (LPI) is a rare
autosomal, recessive, metabolic disease caused by mutations in the
SLC7A7 gene. It was first reported in the Finnish population in
1965, and involved multiple organ systems like the digestive, blood,
respiratory, nervous, urinary and other systems, due to a defect in the
transport of the dialkylamino acid plasma membrane. Case
presentation: A girl with severe malnutrition, underdevelopment and a
long-term history of hepatosplenomegaly, presented with recurrent fever,
cough and shortness of breath. Computer tomography (CT) revealed that
she had a considerable lung infection, and the results of laboratory
tests showed that she had moderate anemia. The maximum value of type B
natriuretic peptide (BNP) was 6076 ng/L (0-300). In this course, the
blood ammonia was 85.5 μmol/L (11-40), the serum ferritin was 3827 ng/mL
(10-120), the complement 3 was 237 mg/L (790-1520), complement 4 was
53.1 mg/L (100-400), the titre of anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) was 1:320
and the anti-dsDNA antibody was positive. The patient died of severe
pneumonia at 5 years old. A genetic test indicated that the patient’s
SLC7A7 gene had a compound heterozygous mutation, including
c.724T>C chr14-23248048 p.W242R and c.719C>T
chr14-23248053 p.S240L, inherited from the patient’s father and mother,
respectively. Conclusions: The patient was diagnosed with LPI
with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and severe pneumonia, and her
SLC7A7 gene had a compound heterozygous mutation.
Microparticles in Preeclampsia during Pregnancy: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Authors: Su Yang , He Lili , Guo Wanwan , Liu Cheng , Qiao Rui
Published: November 2022

Background: Preeclampsia (PE) is a severe manifestation of maternal
hypertensive disease with high morbidity and mortality which
microparticles (MPs) might be generated. But there is limited evidence
on response MPs with PE. Objectives: To explore the relationship between
MPs and PE. Search strategy: A systematic review was performed according
to PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and
Meta-Analyses) guidelines in Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science and China
National Knowledge Infrastructure (inception to September 20, 2022).
Selection criteria: Studies on patients diagnosed as PE were included.
Studies on patients with chronic hypertension, pre-gestational diabetes
mellitus, and history of recurrent pregnancy loss, renal or hepatic
diseases, and antiphospholipid syndrome were excluded. Data collection
and analysis: Two authors independently screened the studies, extracted
the data and assessed the quality of the studies. Results were combined
descriptively and analyzed using a standardized Excel form. Main
results: We included 25 studies with a total of 1885 patients (862 with
PE and 1023 with healthy pregnancy). Any MPs level was found no
significant difference between PE and healthy pregnant patients in the
second trimester. However, CD31-marked EMPs, RMPs and MPs from placenta
are significantly elevated in the third trimester of preeclampsia, while
CD41-marked PMPs is significantly decreased. After postpartum, tMPs and
EMPs were found no significant difference between PE and healthy
pregnant patients. Conclusion: MPs level is significantly associated
with PE in the third trimester, but the association is dependent on its
cell source and labeled marker.
Hardware Acceleration of Number Theoretic Transform for zk-SNARK
Authors: Zhao Haixu , Ding Dong , Wang Feng , Hua Pengcheng , Wang Ning , Wu Qin , Chai Zhilei
Published: November 2022

Zk-SNARK unleashes the great potential of ZKP (zero-knowledge proof) in
the blockchain, distributed storage, etc. However, the proof-generation
of zk-SNARK is excessively time intensive, making it a challenge to
deploy a high-performance zk-SNARK in most real applications. As a
result, NTT (Number Theoretic Transform), one of the most time-consuming
parts in proof-generation, needs to be accelerated significantly. To
address this issue, we propose a novel and efficient “data reordering”
technique to enable a highly pipelined architecture, on which an
FPGA-based hardware accelerator is designed to support the
large-bitwidth and large-scale NTT tasks in zk-SNARK. Our architecture
achieves a two-level pipeline: 1) the top-level pipeline is achieved
among smaller NTT sub-tasks, which are decomposed from a large-scale NTT
task; 2) the bottom-level pipeline is achieved in each sub-task, among
butterfly operations with different step sizes. This architecture can
effectively reduce the data dependency and memory access requirements,
meanwhile, can be flexibly scaled to different scales of FPGAs. To
balance computing efficiency and flexibility, the OpenCL equipped with
HLS is used to implement the heterogeneous acceleration system. We
prototype the accelerator on the AMD-Xilinx Alveo U50 card (UltraScale+
XCU50 FPGA). The evaluation results show that 1) our accelerator shows
high scalability for different scales of FPGAs with a stable performance
improvement; 2) it performs 1.95× faster than the one in PipeZK; 3) and
it achieves 27.98×, 1.74× speedup and 6.9×, 6× energy efficiency
improvement than AMD Ryzen 9 5900X single core and 12 cores respectively
when integrated into the well-known ZKP open-source project, Bellman.
Energy decay estimate for a viscoelastic equation with supercritical damping
Authors: Li Xiaolei , Li Fang
Published: November 2022

We consider the following viscoelastic equation involving variable
exponent nonlinearities: u -∆ u+∫ g(t-s)∆u(s)ds+a|u
| u
=|u| u.
Generally speaking, the presence of the source drives the system towards
instability while the appearance of damping makes the system stable,
which makes the interplay between damping and nonlinearity more
delicate. As far as we know, when one tries to apply multiplier method,
the usual strategy for dealing with the nonlinear term ∫
|u |
u udx is to apply Young’s
inequality and Sobolev embedding inequality to guarantee that this
moment will be controlled by both energy functional and its derivative.
Therefore, for supercritical damping(m>2N/(N-2)), the
failure of the embedding inequality makes the aforementioned technique
unsuccessful in our problem. To do this, our strategy is to give a
priori estimate for the integral ∫ (2+t)
|u| dx
and then apply modified multiplier method to give the energy functional
decays logarithmically. Meanwhile, we also give explicit dependence of
decay rate on both the exponent m(x) and the relaxation function
function g. These results extend the paper [S. A. Messaoudi, M. M.
Al-Gharabli and A. M. Al-Mahdi, Math. Methods Appl. Sci., 45(14)(2022):

Dasatinib-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia with Philadelphia chromosome: A report of two cases
Authors: Tang Sujie , xiong hao , Chen Zhi , Yang Li , Sun Ming , Lu Wenjie , Wang Zhuo , Tao Fang , Wu Min , Luo Linlin , Li Zuofeng
Published: November 2022

Background: Long-term oral dasatinib administration can induce
pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in pediatric patients with
Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph ) acute
lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). We describe the findings in two pediatric
cases involving Ph ALL patients who developed
cardiovascular events such as PAH after dasatinib treatment, and present
a review of the related literature. Case presentation: Two
pediatric patients diagnosed with B-cell ALL ( BCR-ABL P190
fusion gene positive) received conventional chemotherapy and imatinib
simultaneously, which was then changed to dasatinib because of a partial
response. The two patients developed PAH after 18 months and 6 years of
dasatinib therapy. All signs and symptoms improved after immediate
discontinuation of dasatinib and symptomatic treatment.
Conclusions: Pediatric Ph ALL patients
receiving dasatinib should be carefully monitored for serious
cardiopulmonary and vascular events such as PAH. Development of adverse
reactions should be followed by immediate and permanent discontinuation
of oral dasatinib. Dynamic monitoring by echocardiography is recommended
when administering dasatinib for maintenance therapy.
One-stop procedure of “atrial fibrillation radiofrequency ablation + left atrial appendage closure” guided by 3D printing technology：A Case Report
Authors: Liao Nuohan , zuoan qin , Luo Li , Ge Liangqing
Published: November 2022

Background: Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) in the
treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) has become a hot topic in clinical
research in recent years. Case presentation: we report a
68-year-old female patient who was admitted for “recurrent palpitations
for three years,” with an electrocardiogram finding of atrial
fibrillation (Figure [1](#fig-cap-0001)). The diagnosis upon
admission was: (1) arrhythmia: paroxysmal AF (CHA2DS2-VASc: 4 points,
HAS-BLED: 3 points), (2) Grade 3 hypertension, and (3) carotid plaque
with internal carotid artery stenosis. The patient had a history of AF
for three years with poor drug treatment effect. The patient was unable
to tolerate anticoagulation therapy. We gave the patient a one-stop
procedure treatment of “AF radiofrequency ablation + LAAO” under the
guidance of 3D printing technology. There was no recurrence of AF or
paravalvular leakage at the three-month and one-year follow-ups.
Conclusions: The 3D printing technology guide the one-stop
operation of “AF radiofrequency ablation + LAAO” is helpful. But it
whether can improve the prognosis and quality of life of patients,
further multi-center research and large data statistics are required.
The drivers of plant turnover change across spatial scales in the Azores
Authors: Leo María , Rigal François , Ronquillo Cristina , Borges Paulo , Azevedo Eduardo Brito de , Santos Ana M. C.
Published: November 2022

Beta diversity patterns are essential for understanding how biological
communities are structured. Geographical and environmental factors, as
well as species dispersal ability, are important drivers of beta
diversity, but their relative importance may vary across spatial scales.
In this study, we evaluate whether beta diversity changes across
geographical scales and analyse how different drivers affect turnover
patterns of native seed plants in an oceanic archipelago, the Azores
(Portugal). Using a 500 x 500 m resolution grid, we selected cells that
are covered by one of the following habitats: native forest, naturalized
vegetation and seminatural pastures. We calculated species turnover at
three spatial scales: i) between islands, ii) between cells within each
island, and finally iii) between cells of each of the habitats of
interest in each island. We then calculated the contribution of
dispersal syndromes (endozoochory, epizoochory, hydrochory and
anemochory) to turnover at each of the scales. Lastly, we assessed the
relationship between geographical and climatic distances and habitat
composition with turnover. Turnover was higher at the smallest scale,
particularly in seminatural pastures, and decreased with increasing
spatial scales, a pattern potentially associated with the historical
fragmentation and current patchy distribution of native forest and
seminatural habitats in the Azores. Dispersal syndromes and habitat
composition had a negligible effect on turnover at all scales.
Geographical distance had a positive effect on turnover at all scales,
increasing with scale. The relationship between turnover and climatic
distance was only significant at the intermediate and small scales in
specific islands and habitats. Scale plays an important role at
determining the effect of the drivers of turnover, in particular
geographical and climatic distance. These results highlight the need to
carefully select the scale of analysis when studying turnover patterns,
as well as identifying the potential drivers associated with each scale.

Authors: Guan Zhitao , Wang Dan , Duan Qing , Mao Chengxiong , Liu Bin
Published: November 2022

Energy routers based on the electronic power transformer are suitable
for the AC-DC hybrid grid with multiple voltage levels, but their
structures are complex. This paper proposes a novel energy router based
on the multi-winding line frequency transformer. By a combination of a
multi-winding line frequency transformer and power electronic devices,
the proposed energy router can take advantage of the high reliability of
the multi-winding line frequency transformer and the high
controllability of power electronic devices. The proposed energy router
is suitable for the AC-DC hybrid grid with multiple voltage levels and
has the characteristic of a simple structure. The simulations and
experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed
energy router.

Reducing energy consumption in networks of IoT devices is very important.
This paper presents the results of experimental studies of the proposed
method of reducing power consumption for the protective gateway of the
industrial network. Research was conducted for devices built on Lora
modules. The LoRa Modem Calculator software from Semtech was used as a
modeling tool. The recommended values of the program registers are given to
achieve optimal energy consumption parameters for data reception and
transmission modes. Information about the prototype is given and its
practical implementation is shown. The developed prototype of the gateway
implements the ?Protocol Transformation? method, which allows removing
possible dangerous inserts from the data packets received by the gateway.
This can improve the security of packets from the gateway to IoT devices and
back, and thus the network as a whole.
Identification of a significant systematic error in pressure sensor readings based on an autoregressive model
Authors: Itkin Victor , Ulyanov Michail , Yuzhanin Victor Vladimirovich
Published: November 2022

A new method of identifying the validity of pressure sensor readings has been
developed. The method uses duplication of measurements which allows an
estimation of the magnitude of an error, although it does not make it
possible to establish which sensor is responsible for the error. The method
helps to evaluate the systematic error magnitude and to test whether the
error exists within a permission range accounting for a correlation
structure of measurement series. An autoregressive model with a drift
coefficient is applied to investigate a time series of the differences in
readings. To test the significance of this coefficient, a modified Student?s
test is used. Unlike the standard Student?s test, this new method tests an
interval hypothesis. The null hypothesis assumes the systematic error is
within the range and the alternative is out of the range. Error
probabilities of type I and type II are calculated. An example of 2nd order
autoregressive model was considered and the sensitivity of the proposed
method was investigated.
“Guarding the Guards”: The Failure of the Colonial State to Govern Police Violence in Sudan, ca. 1922–1956
Authors: Berridge William
Published: November 2022

This article explores the nature and causes of police violence in Condominium Sudan. It contends that rather than demonstrating the sheer strength of the British colonial state and its dhtance from Sudanese society, police violence provided evidence of its weakness, its limited technical capacity, and its general social porosity. The British administration was unable or unwilling to develop a systematically regulated and heavily institutionalized police force, and thus struggled to prevent the police being manipulated to serve the interests of particular ethnic, religious, or political factions. The technical fragility and limited resources of the police abo placed them in a position where they were forced to employ immediate and physical forms of coercion rather than more pervasive and indirect ones.
Troublesome Chiefs and Disorderly Subjects: The Indigénat and the internment of Kanak in New Caledonia (1887–1928)
Authors: Muckle Adrian
Published: November 2022

L’internement politique a joué un rôle important dans le processus par lequel l’administration coloniale française a essayé d’amener les Kanak, le peuple indigène de Nouvelle-Calédonie, sous domination française. Dans le cadre d’une étude examinant la fonction et l’héritage de l’indigénat dans la régularisation des relations entre Kanak et colons, cet article développe une étude de cas de l’internement des Kanak jusqu’en 1928. Contrairement à penser les représentations coloniales et populaires, la majorité des internés kanak n’étaient ni des « chefs » ni des « rebelles ». Les autorités avaient recours à l’internement pour réprimer les actes de la résistance quotidienne, imposer la discipline dans les réserves et renforcer l’autorité des chefs administratifs. En examinant la façon dont les mesures d’internement se sont traduites localement, négociées et mises en place, nous contribuons à la compréhension de l’évolution locale de l’indigénat et de sa place au sein du système colonial.
“A sign that we are related to you”: The Transatlantic Gifts of the Hurons of the Jesuit Mission of Lorette, 1650–1750
Authors: VéLez Karin
Published: November 2022

En 1674, un missionnaire jésuite de Nouvelle France, Pierre-Joseph-Marie Chaumonot, a reconstruit la célèbre relique Catholique italienne, la Sainte Maison de Lorette, pour ses Hurons convertis. Cela lui a gagné une place dans les livres d’histoire et a fait de lui un personnage exceptionnel. Cet article défend la thèse que le Jésuite ne fut pas seul dans l’accomplissement de cette mission mais que les Hurons eux-mêmes contribuèrent largement à la dévotion à Lorette en Nouvelle France. Entre 1670 et 1720, les Hurons de la mission jésuite de Lorette envoyèrent au moins cinq colliers de wampum à des communautés Catholiques de part et d’autre de l’Atlantique. Le présent article examine les conditions de réception de ces cadeaux, en particulier par l’église de Notre Dame de Foye à Dinant, en Belgique, par la cathédrale de Chartres, en France, et par la mission de Sault-St.-Louis, ou Kahnawake, au Canada. Déjà au dix-huitième siècle, dans l’empire français, l’expression "Lorette" en était venue à désigner ces Hurons exotiques plutôt que la Sainte Maison apportée d’Italie par les Jésuites. Le partage de la religion Catholique avait transformé des étrangers en membres d’une même famille.
Gabonese Men for French Decency: The Rise and Fall of the Gabonese Chapter of the Ligue des Droits de l’Homme, 1916–1939
Authors: Rich Jeremy
Published: November 2022

De 1916 à 1939, un petit groupe d’intellectuels gabonais organisèrent une cellule de la Ligue des Droits de l’Homme et du Citoyen, la plus grande organisation de défense des droits de l’homme en France durant la première moitié du XXe siècle. La plupart des historiens considèrent la ligue comme une association qui ne s’intéressait pas aux questions coloniales, mais le comité central de la ligue à Paris soutint le chapitre gabonais de la ligue durant les années 1920. Les ligueurs gabonais critiquèrent les abus et la politique arbitraire des administrateurs au Gabon. Ils se présentaient comme les défenseurs courageux et disciplinés des libertés républicaines. Selon eux, les administrateurs français ne possédaient pas la discipline nécessaire pour maitriser leurs désirs sexuels et leur colère. Des administrateurs répondirent à ces critiques que les ligueurs gabonais n’étaient que des déracinés. La question de la masculinité était un aspect important des conflits entre l’état colonial et les ligueurs. Le chapitre gabonais de la ligue se délita durant les années trente, en raison des privilèges accordés aux métis et des réformes modérées initiées par l’administration français vis-à-vis des élites gabonaises.
Protestantism and the Politics of Religion in French Colonial Vietnam
Authors: Keith Charles

Pendant la période de domination coloniale française, les réactions disparates et souvent contradictoires des missionnaires catholiques et des autorités françaises face aux religions non-catholiques ont été source de conflit dans la poursuite de leurs visions respectives de la “mission civilisatrice.” Cet article explore l’effet l’émergence du Protestantisme sur les relations Êglue-Êtat dans le Vietnam colonial Même si l’Êglise et l’Êtat partageaient des doutes quant au Protestantisme, les limites des structures légales et de police de l’Êtat et les partisans influents du Protestantisme au sein de la gauche politique, ont assuré au Protestantisme une présence sociale et une position protégée que les Catholiques interprétaient comme un produit de l’anticléricalisme républicain. La consolidation de la présence protestante fut donc un facteur important dans la détérioration des relations Êglise-Êtat à h fin de l’époque coloniale. Cet article désigne les religions locales comme un élément crucial des relations Êglise-Êtat dans Vempire français, sans parallèle dans la vie politique ou sociale métropolitaine, ce qui requiert de placer “les relations Êglise-Êtat” plus directement dans le contexte colonial particulier.
Imperial Alterity and Identity Slippage: The Sin of Becoming "Other" in Edmund D. Morel’s "King Leopold’s Rule In Africa"
Authors: Bass Jeff D.
Published: November 2022

The tradition of postcolonial critique has long noted that the construction of an imperial identity of "alterity," the posture of moral superiority that serves to differentiate the imperialist from those under his or her control and thus legitimate the practice of expansion, is a significant characteristic of imperial discourse. For the most party however, this critical practice has focused on the construct of alterity as a justification for imperial oppression on the basis ofracialized images of subject populations. This essay approaches alterity as a property to be maintained by the imperial culture itself as crucial to its understanding of its own identity. Failure to maintain such an identity constitutes the ultimate "sin" of identity slippage, a "sin" that undermines the moral validity of empire. This argument is detailed through an analysis of Edmund D. Morels book-length exposé of Belgian atrocities committed against the peoples of the Congo entitled King Leopolds Rule in Africa. Morels text is not so much concerned with evoking reader pity for the plight of the Congolese as with inciting outrage over the subversion of imperialism by the Belgians’ abandonment of their own imperial alterity.
Rhetorical Forms of Symbolic Labor: The Evolution of Iconic Representations in China’s Model Worker Awards
Authors: Butterfield Rya
Published: November 2022

As the steadily expanding cyberpublic presents both obstacles and opportunities for Communist Party rule in China, the party has responded by adapting the rhetorical strategies of the Model Worker (MW) commendations to a changing political environment Using role model representations to encourage particular kinds of citizen labor, the system has changed from Maoist single-lane authoritarianism to a multilane interaction between the public and the party. This essay investigates the epideicticfunction, adaptation, and modification of MW awards via Kenneth Burkes symbolic labor. Tracing the awards through the periods of leadership from Mao Zedong to Deng Xiaoping to Hu Jintao, I explore how the structure of the MW program has evolved into a rhetorical strategy capable of stabilizing party power through the moralization of party initiatives and the promulgation of party ideals despite increases in new media forms and institutions.
Historical Narrative, Literary Narrative—Expelling Poetics from the Republic of History
Authors: Goff Alan
Published: November 2022

Postivist historiography has always maintained an impermeable boundary between history and literature. But positivism is itself a historical sediment whose time is now past. Recent literary theory and historiography emphasize the continuities between history and literature. Under the domination of historiography by a positivist epistemology (from about 1880 to 1960), history attempted to free itself from its literary heritage; more recently theorists from a number of disciplines have recognized that history, both ancient and modern, has been informed by literary motifs, themes, and strategies. The repetition of the exodus literary pattern, for example, through the Bible, the Book of Mormon, and Christian history does nothing to bring into question the historical status of the events. The exodus patterns evident in Mosiah do not force the Book of Mormon to surrender historical claims just because they also happen to be literary.
Economic Insights from the Book of Mormon
Authors: Robison Lindon J.
Published: November 2022

Economic systems are distinguished by their emphasis on equity and efficiency. Market controls are justified because of the need for equity. Free markets are justified because of the need for private incentives and efficiency. Most countries of the world today have adopted a combination of controls and free-market incentives. The Book of Mormon teaches that only through caring can equity and efficiency be simultaneously achieved.
The Sword of Laban as a Symbol of Divine Authority and Kingship
Authors: Holbrook Brett L.
Published: November 2022

Swords have often been seen as symbols of divine authority and kingship. Numerous examples from the mythology, literature, and history of the world attest to distinct patterns. The sword of Laban from the Book of Mormon fits these patterns and can be compared to the sword of Goliath. The sword of Laban can also be traced as part of the royal regalia that gives authority throughout Nephite history, and later as it appears in the Restoration. The sword of Laban as it is associated with Joseph Smith came to be an additional witness of his authority and of the divine sanction for his work.
Prophets, Kings, and Swords: The Sword of Laban and Its Possible Pre-Laban Origin
Authors: Rolph Daniel N.
Published: November 2022

The sword of Laban plays a prominent role in the Book of Mormon narrative as a Nephite national treasure. Scholarly analysis of this regal heirloom has primarily concentrated upon its physical construction in relation to ancient Near Eastern metallurgical technology. However, when examined within the cultural milieu of the ancient world, along with data from Church history, the scriptures, and Jewish tradition, the sword of Laban takes on new significance. Though the Book of Mormon reveals that the sword of Laban served as an ancestral and hereditary sword of the ancient Nephite prophets, evidence suggests that the weapon may have been the birthright sword of biblical tradition, a sacred heirloom that may have been wielded by the patriarchs up until the time of Joseph of Egypt. Laban, being a descendant of Joseph, inherited the birthright sword and the plates of brass, both treasures eventually coming into the possession of Nephi, who was both a prophet and a descendant of Joseph, as was Joseph Smith, Jr.
What’s in a Name? Book of Mormon Language, Names, and [Metonymic] Naming
Authors: Thomasson Gordon C.
Published: November 2022

Anthropological perspectives are presented on names, and on the social and literary function of names, in principle and in the Book of Mormon. The function of names in kinship; secret names; and names, ritual, and rites of passage are first discussed in general and then from a Latter-day Saint perspective. The symbolic use of names and metonymy or metonymie naming are then discussed. Examples are given of biblical and Book of Mormon metonymie naming, nomenclature, and taxonomy. Finally, it is suggested that biblical laws of purity form the foundation for a pattern of metonymie associations with the name Lamanite, where the dichotomy of clean/unclean is used to give name to social alienation and pollution.
The Jaredite Exodus: A Literary Perspective of a Historical Narrative
Authors: Thompson John S.
Published: November 2022

By applying some techniques of literary analysis to the Jaredite exodus narrative in Ether 1-3 and 6, the text reveals that it is more than just a historical account. The author or editor of the narrative uses imagery and dialogue to help the reader look beyond the historical facts and see elements of the creation, Christ, and temples, among other things.
The Influence of Lehi’s Admonitions on the Teachings of His Son Jacob
Authors: Tvedtnes John A.
Published: November 2022

Lehi, though unable to convince his older sons to follow the Lord, was very successful with both Nephi and Jacob. The speeches and writings of Jacob clearly show that he remembered the admonitions given to him by his dying father and that he shared Lehi’s teachings—including some of his verbiage—with other members of the family. Jacob’s life and teachings, found in the Book of Mormon, stand as a memorial to his father’s faith and parental love.
A Lengthier Treatment of Length
Authors: Stubbs Brian D.
Published: November 2022

Book of Mormon language frequently contains lengthy structures of rather awkward English. Some may consider these to be instances of poor grammar, weakness in writing (Ether 12:23-26), or the literary ineptness of a fraudulent author; how-ever, I see them as potentially significant support for a translation from a Near Eastern language in an ancient American setting. Many of these lengths of awkward English parallel Semitic (and Egyptian) patterns, particularly the circumstantial or ḥal-clause. In response to critics of my previous proposal to that effect, this article is a lengthier treatment of these lengthy structures found in the Book of Mormon.
Nephi’s Psalm: 2 Nephi 4:16-35 in the Light of Form-Critical Analysis
Authors: Nickerson Matthew
Published: November 2022

Identifying the poetic forms in the Book of Mormon enables readers to appreciate its beautiful literary style and gain a better understanding of its message. This article uses the formcritical analysis of psalms, first outlined by Hermann Gunkel in 1926, to demonstrate sharp similarities between Nephi’s psalm and similar psalms in the Old Testament. Nephi’s psalm plainly follows the format and substance of the individual lament as described by Gunkel and elaborated by numerous subsequent scholars. As in other instances of Hebrew poetic forms in the Book of Mormon, understanding and appreciating the psalm, more particularly the personal lament, can offer new insights into 2 Nephi 4:16-35 and make its message of hope and trust more powerful and personal.
Grave Reservations
Authors: LIVSEY TIM
Published: November 2022

This article considers how Nigerians experienced decolonization through encounters with “European reservations.” It argues that Nigerian literature offers an “alternative archive” for histories of the built environment and decolonization. British colonialists established reservations as distinct areas, typified by low-density arrangements of bungalows, to house officials and other white expatriates. Reservations’ depiction in the work of writers including Chinua Achebe, T. M. Aluko, Chukwuemeka Ike, Wole Soyinka, and more recently Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, offers important evidence of how Nigerians experienced decolonization. During decolonization the colonial civil service was “Africanized,” and Nigerian civil servants took up residence at reservations in increasing numbers. This represented a triumph, but literary representations suggest that living in reservations, and in the similar spaces of new Nigerian universities, was often an ambivalent experience. These built environments helped to structure Nigerians’ experience of decolonization, but Nigerians also invested reservations with new meanings through their use and representation of these spaces. Reservations’ shifting meanings reflected changing perceptions of decolonization in postcolonial Nigeria. They proved to be significant imaginative locations through which the changes of decolonization were experienced.

El presente estudio tiene como objetivo describir los factores psicosociales que incidieron en la vinculación y desvinculación de niños, niñas, adolescentes y adultos a grupos armados en Colombia entre 2008 a 2016. La metodología es cualitativa, con diseño descriptivo de tipo fenomenológico. La muestra está conformada por 154 participantes. El muestreo es no probabilístico de caso-tipo. Para la recolección de datos se utilizaron entrevistas. El análisis de los datos descriptivos se realizó mediante diagramas de frecuencia y el análisis de las entrevistas en el software Atlas.Ti (V9) a través del proceso de codificación abierta. Las categorías de vinculación fueron: económica, familiar, ideológica y psicológica hallando 14 factores. Las categorías de desvinculación fueron: económica, familiar, ideológica, salud, beneficios del gobierno, maltrato y psicológica hallando 10 factores. Se concluye que los factores psicosociales de incidencia en la vinculación son la falta de ingresos económicos y el engaño, y los factores de incidencia en la desvinculación son el temor para perder la vida y la desmotivación. Los resultados aportaran a futuras investigaciones que pretendan analizar si los factores psicosociales asociados a la vinculación y desvinculación a grupos armados de 2017 en adelante siguen siendo similares o diferentes a los presentados en este estudio.
