Abstract

Background
Aztreonam is a monobactam stable to hydrolysis by metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) and avibactam is a non-β-lactam β-lactamase inhibitor that effectively inhibits serine carbapenemases (CPs). Aztreonam/avibactam is under clinical development for treatment of serious infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria, including MBL-producers.

Objectives
To evaluate the in vitro activity of aztreonam/avibactam against clinical Enterobacterales isolates.

Methods
8787 Enterobacterales were collected consecutively from 64 medical centres located in Western Europe (W-EU; n = 4616; 26 centres in 10 nations), Eastern Europe (E-EU; n = 1554; 11 centres in 9 nations), the Asia-Pacific region (APAC; n = 1456; 17 centres in 9 nations), and Latin America (LATAM; n = 1161; 10 centres in 6 nations). Susceptibility tests were performed by reference broth microdilution methods and interpreted according to EUCAST criteria.

Results
99.9% of isolates were inhibited at aztreonam/avibactam MIC of ≤8 mg/L (MIC50/90, ≤0.03/0.12 mg/L), including 99.7% of carbapenem-resistant (CRE; n = 396; MIC50/90, 0.25/0.5 mg/L) and 99.7% of multidrug-resistant isolates (n = 1706; MIC50/90, 0.06/0.5 mg/L). CRE rates were 1.2%, 12.9%, 5.2%, and 5.8% in W-EU, E-EU, APAC, and LATAM, respectively (4.5% overall). A CP was identified in 90.2% of CRE isolates. The most common CPs were variants of KPC (35.9% of CRE), NDM (29.0%), and OXA-48 (26.8%). The highest aztreonam/avibactam MIC value among MBL-producers (n = 110; MIC50/90, 0.12/0.5 mg/L) was 2 mg/L. Susceptibility rates for ceftriaxone, meropenem, levofloxacin, and amikacin were highest in W-EU (80.9%, 99.0%, 80.7% and 97.9%, respectively) and lowest in E-EU (52.0%, 88.9%, 54.1%, and 84.2%, respectively).

Conclusions
Our results support clinical development of aztreonam/avibactam to treat infections caused by Enterobacterales, including MBL-producers.
Biology and Management of Navel Orangeworm (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) in California
Authors: Wilson Houston , Burks Charles S , Reger Joshua E , Wenger Jacob A 
Published: November 2020

AbstractNavel orangeworm, Amyelois transitella (Walker), is a primary pest of almonds, pistachios, and walnuts in California. These specialty tree nut crops are widely planted across the state and account for a significant share of total agricultural revenue, with 1.7 million combined acres generating a total farm-gate value of $8.9 billion. Larvae of A. transitella cause direct damage to the nut, burrowing into the kernel and contaminating it with frass and webbing, while adults are able to introduce fungi during oviposition that produce aflatoxin, a known human carcinogen that is heavily regulated both domestically and in key foreign markets. As such, there is little tolerance for A. transitella infestation, and most operations aim for &lt;2% crop damage from this pest. Currently, integrated management of A. transitella involves a combination of orchard sanitation, well-timed insecticide sprays, timely harvest, and, most recently, mating disruption. Additional novel tools, such as sterile insect technique, are currently being explored. This species has a strong dispersal capacity, and given the extensive, and many times contiguous, acreage of tree nuts in California, long-term management will require the development of an effective area-wide management strategy. Tools, tactics, and conditions are in an ongoing state of change, and therefore pest management for this economically important species is a work in progress. Here, we discuss the biology, seasonal phenology, monitoring, and management of A. transitella across almonds, pistachios, and walnuts.
Striped cucumber Beetle and Western Striped Cucumber Beetle (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)
Authors: Haber Ariela I , Wallingford Anna K , Grettenberger Ian M , Ramirez Bonilla Jasmin P , Vinchesi-Vahl Amber C , Weber Donald C 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
The striped cucumber beetle [StCB; Acalymma vittatum (F.) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)] and the western striped cucumber beetle [WStCB; Acalymma trivittatum (Mannerheim)] are closely related species of herbivores endemic to North America that specialize on Cucurbitaceae plants. StCB and WStCB are key pests of cucurbit crops that can reduce quantity and quality of yield or even kill plants, especially seedlings, by feeding and by vectoring pathogens. Insecticides can be used to control StCB and WStCB, but a number of more selective nonchemical management methods are also available to help control these pests. Here, we describe the biology, life stages, and damage caused by StCB and WStCB and discuss methods for managing these pests in cucurbit crops.
Arden of Faversham, the authorship problem: Shakespeare, Watson, or Kyd?
Authors: Vickers Brian 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Arden of Faversham, a play published anonymously in 1592, was for many years attributed to Thomas Kyd. In modern times, it has been claimed that Shakespeare contributed one or more scenes, and in a recent essay in this journal, Gary Taylor argued that Thomas Watson (1555–92) wrote at least one scene. There are several problems with this attribution. As noted elsewhere, Watson was an eminent neo-Latin scholar and no record exists of him ever writing English plays for the Elizabethan theatres. Taylor attributes one ‘theatrical work’ to him, but this was a welcoming oration that Watson wrote for Queen Elizabeth’s visit to the Earl of Hertford at Elvetham in 1591, a one-off event, which does not resemble a play. In this essay, I examine Taylor’s use of stylometric evidence. I show that his algorithm is designed to favor Watson, with his small canon, by calculating the number of words per hit. Despite Taylor’s repeated dismissal of Kyd’s authorship, I point out that his searches of other authors identified thirty-five matching passages with Kyd’s plays. Finally, I adduce recently available evidence that strongly confirms Kyd’s authorship of the whole play.
Structural Dissonance Re-Imagined: The Finale of Elgar’s Violin Sonata, OP. 82
Authors: Chandler Oliver 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Contemporary critical reception of Elgar’s Violin Sonata in E minor, Op. 82 was divided: was this work old hat or modestly cutting edge? Study of the tonal intricacies of its finale can facilitate interesting answers to this question, which mediate between its implied extremes. The article focuses on Elgar’s unusual treatment of sonata form’s traditional harmonic pillars, arguing that he radically changed their surface contents while still attempting to guarantee their continued relevance as organizing presences at a level below the musical surface. Particularly important is his articulation of the finale’s structural dominant. The music that follows on from an abortive cadence in V at the end of the finale’s secondary theme area might be thought to ‘translate’ the dominant into a more modern kind of musical language; it can thus be perceived as a genuine structural dissonance once more, rather than as a consonant cliché.
Tandem Dances
Authors: Ritter Julia M. 
Published: November 2020

AbstractTandem Dances: Choreographing Immersive Performance proposes dance and choreography as frames through which to examine immersive theatre, more broadly known as immersive performance. The idea of tandemness—suggesting motion that is achieved by two bodies working together and acting in conjunction with one another—is critical throughout the book. Author Julia M. Ritter persuasively argues that practitioners of immersive productions deploy choreography as a structural mechanism to mobilize the bodies of cast and audience members to perform together. Furthermore, choreography is contextualized as an effective tool for facilitating audience participation towards immersion as an affect. Ritter’s close choreographic analysis of immersive productions, along with unique insights from choreographers, directors, performers, and spectators enlivens discourse across dramaturgy, kinesthesia, affect, and co-authorship. By foregrounding the choreographic in order to examine its specific impact on the evolution of immersive theater, Tandem Dances explores choreography as a discursive domain that is fundamentally related to creative practice, agendas of power and control, and concomitant issues of freedom and agency.
Bad Blood
Authors: Brogaard Berit 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
In his landmark essay “Freedom and Resentment,” the philosopher Peter Strawson coined the term “reactive attitude” to refer to our emotional reactions to wrongdoing or acts of goodwill in the context of social relationships, such as your resentment toward a person who wronged you or gratitude toward a person who did you a favor. These emotional reactions, Strawson argued, are beneficial because they serve to uphold the standards of our moral community. Strawson didn’t take an official stance on whether hatred can perform a similar beneficial role. But subsequently, a number of thinkers have argued that it serves no worthwhile purpose. In terms of safeguarding our moral ideals, we are better off without it. Hate is frowned upon because of its close ties to vengeance. Vengeful hate is dehumanizing. But, this chapter argues, vengeance is not essential to hate. Without it, hate can be a gateway to moral vision.
Introduction
Authors: Calvillo Jonathan E. 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
This chapter sets the stage for how central Santa Ana functions as a space in which a substantial number of residents experience a close link between faith and ethnic identity. The chapter introduces the role of faith as a critical resource in the lives of Mexican immigrants in Santa Ana. Faith functions as a salient dimension of identity because it provides resources of survival for many marginalized Mexican immigrants. General statistics on the city highlight particular aspects of inequality experienced by many working-class Mexican immigrants. Finally, this chapter invites the reader to look beyond institutional forms of faith and to examine how Mexican immigrants express agency through forms of lived religion in the city.
Altar Encounters

Published: November 2020

Abstract
This chapter examines Latinx religious identities through the lens of change and continuity. For evangelicals, the experience of religious conversion becomes a marker of evangelical identity. Some Catholics, too, have experiences of religious renewal which closely approximate religious conversion. For evangelicals, conversion experiences are closely linked to rupturing with the past. For Catholics, religious renewal is a way to solidify ties to the past, both religious and ethnic. Essentially, Catholics have a stronger sense of continuity with the past and evangelicals tend to emphasize discontinuity with the past. Ultimately, the author addresses the dilemma of how experiences of religious renewal and religious change relate to ethnic identity maintenance. Understandings of the past matter for ethnic identity because they structure the collective memories that people have at their disposal to bolster a sense of shared history. Conversion experiences also shape how people understand themselves in relation to ethnic spaces.
Sites Unseen

Published: November 2020

Abstract
This chapter argues that Catholics and evangelicals ultimately contribute to distinct constructions of ethnic space and of ethnic identity, in as much as ethnic space serves as a mechanism for ethnic identity construction. For Catholics, religion shapes the boundaries of ethnicity as a retrospective, locally anchored, communally embodied identity. For evangelicals, religion shapes the boundaries of ethnicity as a future looking, regionally dispersed, voluntarily selected identity. Catholicism, the author argues, tends to contribute to a more robust sense of ethnic continuity, while evangelicalism tends to contribute to a more robust sense of religious salience. The author argues that intergenerational transmission is a matter that both traditions continue to contend with as it has significant bearing on their ethnic futures. The chapter closes by reflecting on the adaptive ethnoreligious identities being forged by later generation Latinxs in light of the materials made available by earlier generations.
Athens After Empire
Authors: Worthington Ian 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
When we think of ancient Athens, the image invariably coming to mind is of the Classical city, with monuments beautifying everywhere; the Agora swarming with people conducting business and discussing political affairs; and a flourishing intellectual, artistic, and literary life, with life anchored in the ideals of freedom, autonomy, and democracy. But in 338 that forever changed when Philip II of Macedonia defeated a Greek army at Chaeronea to impose Macedonian hegemony over Greece. The Greeks then remained under Macedonian rule until the new power of the Mediterranean world, Rome, annexed Macedonia and Greece into its empire. How did Athens fare in the Hellenistic and Roman periods? What was going on in the city, and how different was it from its Classical predecessor? There is a tendency to think of Athens remaining in decline in these eras, as its democracy was curtailed, the people were forced to suffer periods of autocratic rule, and especially under the Romans enforced building activity turned the city into a provincial one than the “School of Hellas” that Pericles had proudly proclaimed it to be, and the Athenians were forced to adopt the imperial cult and watch Athena share her home, the sacred Acropolis, with the goddess Roma. But this dreary picture of decline and fall belies reality, as my book argues. It helps us appreciate Hellenistic and Roman Athens and to show it was still a vibrant and influential city. A lot was still happening in the city, and its people were always resilient: they fought their Macedonian masters when they could, and later sided with foreign kings against Rome, always in the hope of regaining that most cherished ideal, freedom. Hellenistic Athens is far from being a postscript to its Classical predecessor, as is usually thought. It was simply different. Its rich and varied history continued, albeit in an altered political and military form, and its Classical self-lived on in literature and thought. In fact, it was its status as a cultural and intellectual juggernaut that enticed Romans to the city, some to visit, others to study. The Romans might have been the ones doing the conquering, but in adapting aspects of Hellenism for their own cultural and political needs, they were the ones, as the poet Horace claimed, who ended up being captured.
Farewell to Freedom
Authors: Worthington Ian 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
After a survey of Athens at the height of its power in the Classical period, the chapter focuses on the rise to power of Philip II of Macedonia, how he expanded his kingdom, his relations with Athens, and his eventual military establishment of hegemony over Greece. Conditions in the city, especially during the Lycurgan era, are covered. On Philip’s death, that hegemony continued under his son, Alexander the Great. When Alexander died, the Greeks, led by Athens, revolted against Macedonian rule in what is called the Lamian War. The Macedonian general Antipater re-established Macedonian control, and punished Athens, including installing a garrison in the city, curtailing democracy, and reducing the number of citizens. This was the start of the Hellenistic era, commonly seen as a slump in Athens’ fortunes.
Demetrius “The Besieger” and Athens
Authors: Worthington Ian 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Chapter 4 returns to historical narrative with a discussion of the rule of Demetrius Poliorcetes in Athens and his relationship with the Athenians, especially sycophantic political leaders. The Athenians’ attitude to Poliorcetes and his father Antigonus Monophthalmus is discussed as the Athenians referred to them as “savior gods,” beginning a tradition. Comments are made on religion and Athenian piety, and whether the Athenians really believed they were savior gods or just ingratiating themselves with them. Also discussed is that these Antigonids were the first to call themselves kings, establishing a trend in Hellenistic kingship. Poliorcetes’ exploits in the Wars of the Successors are traced, including the defeat and death of his father at the battle of Ipsus and the subsequent Athenian defiance of him, which led to a period of tyranny in the city under a man named Lachares. Poliorcetes returns to Athens and re-establishes control, but eventually Athens revolts with the aid of the Athenian Callias, and Poliorcetes is forced out of Greece, ending an era of his control.
Independence Day
Authors: Worthington Ian 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Chapter 6 discusses Athens’ relations with Antigonus Gonatas, up until the time of his death. Next, the chapter discusses the city’s relations with his successors Demetrius II and Antigonus III, along with the problems Macedonians were beginning to face, especially from marauding Illyrians. Taking advantage of the situation, Athens was able to declare its independence from Macedonia in 229, which proved to be a watershed year in its Hellenistic history. The city continued its diplomatic influence in Greece and with other Hellenistic courts. But the rise of Philip V to the Macedonian throne would significantly impact Greece as well as Athens.
Enter Rome, Exit Macedonia
Authors: Worthington Ian 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
The chapter traces Rome’s involvement in Greece and Philip’s growing military strength, including his alliance with Hannibal of Carthage in the Second Punic War against Rome. Rome’s first clash in Greece against Macedonia—the First Macedonian War—is recounted, and then events leading to the more fateful Second Macedonian War, which involved Athens on Rome’s side against Philip, culminating in Philip’s defeat in battle by Rome. Punitive measures against Macedonia are discussed, heralding the demise of Philip to Rome, and then the so-called Roman proclamation of Greek freedom by the general Flamininus and what it meant for the Greeks and more ominously, Rome. That Rome could do this demonstrates Rome’s power in the Greek world.
Being Free without Freedom
Authors: Worthington Ian 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Increasing warfare in Greece involved the Athenians, who sided with Rome in their best interests. But in Macedonia, Philip V’s death led to his son Perseus becoming king. Eventually he and Rome went to war—the Third Macedonian War. It ended in Rome’s victory in a battle at the hands of Aemilius Paullus, after which Rome ended the Antigonid dynasty and split up the Macedonian kingdom to bring to an end the Macedonian state. Importantly for Athens, Rome granted the city the island of Delos, which had a profound effect on the Athenian economy because of its prosperity. An Athenian embassy to Rome—the so-called philosophers embassy—also introduced the Romans to the three major types of philosophy studied at Athens, and Romans began to take a serious interest in them, and by extension Greek culture. But increasing warfare in Greece and the belligerence of the Achaean League forced Rome to intervene, and to annex Greece formally into its empire: a watershed year for Greece. Athens did not suffer, and the chapter ends considering its position in the Greek world, and diplomatic dealings with Hellenistic kings like the Ptolemies and Seleucids.
Sulla’s Sack of Athens
Authors: Worthington Ian 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Chapter 10 begins with a consideration of the constitution and political activity in Athens, followed by a change in the Athenian attitude toward Rome and the activities of Mithridates VI of Pontus. Mithridates’ clashes with Rome led to him seek allies in Greece, especially Athens. His case polarized Athenian politics, but the people voted to support him, and hence declared war on Rome. The Romans sent Sulla to Greece, who besieged Athens. Eventually the city capitulated, and Sulla’s men then killed many citizens and destroyed many buildings. The city’s economy was destroyed; Delos defected; further restraints were made on the city’s political life; and even artistic output was affected. Yet Roman visitors to Athens began to increase in the years after Sulla, including to study there, and Greek culture continued to be attractive to Romans.
Building a New Horizon?
Authors: Worthington Ian 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Chapter 14 takes another break from the historical narrative to discuss the major Roman building projects in Athens, which some scholars argue brought about a Romanization of the city and led to its becoming a provincial one. The argument is made that despite Roman buildings, Athens remained a Greek city. The chapter discusses the Roman Agora; the Temple of Roma and Augustus in front of the Parthenon; Agrippa’s Odeum; the lesser public works under the post Julio-Claudian emperors; and Hadrian’s great building program (including the completion of the monumental Temple to Olympian Zeus (Olympieion), a library, an aqueduct), second only to that of Augustus, with a nod to the next chapter to explain why he did what he did. The funerary monument to Philopappus, not at the behest of an emperor but still part of a building program because of Roman style in its architecture, is also discussed. Finally, the chapter examines the transplanting of some temples from the Attic countryside during this period and why this occurred, and the reuse of earlier (especially Classical) statues dedicated to Romans, as part of a plan of the Athenians to keep their heritage alive and not have statues removed to Rome.
Heat and Light

AbstractChapter 2 begins the account of Arminian theology after Arminius, turning attention to the complexities of the continental Remonstrant and English Arminian theologies as they took shape in the seventeenth century. After a historical overview of the controversies surrounding the Synod of Dordt (including the British involvement in the Dutch controversies), we provide an account of the theology of Dutch Remonstrantism. After examining the relationship between Scripture and reason, we then turn attention to the doctrine of God, theological anthropology, and the doctrines of salvation. Moving across the North Sea, we then explore the development of doctrine within the English variants of Arminian theology, describing issues related to the doctrine of the Trinity, the proper understanding of the divine attributes, the extent of the atonement, and the doctrine of justification and its relation to good works.

AbstractIn Chapter 4, we survey how claims to knowledge of God were defended in the nineteenth-century Methodist context; we look both at the theological methods that were employed and how apologetic impulses functioned within those prolegomena. Turning to the doctrine of God, we trace some of the momentous changes that took place as Wesleyan theology wrestled with modern challenges in relation to its classical inheritance (especially in relation to classical doctrines of perfection, simplicity, aseity, immutability, and omniscience as well as Trinitarian theology). With regard to theological anthropology, we see how the major Methodist theologians wrestled not only with long-standing disputes (for example, the mind–body relation) but also with current debates (for example, race and ethnicity). We trace the Wesleyan debates (both internally, and against traditional Reformed theology as well as revisionism and modernism) over the doctrine of original sin.
