Heretical Hebrew
Authors: Meinecke Gregor Christopher 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This article discusses a Christian devotional painting by the Early Renaissance artist Andrea Mantegna. It traces its iconographic traits to illustrate its anti-Jewish implications by focusing on the depiction of an inscribed, pseudo-Hebrew paper crown. This attribute situates Mantegna’s painting within the humanist studies of Hebrew, the Veritas Hebraica, which was a means to access antique sources and to delegitimize Jewish belief. The article further draws a parallel to the burning of heretics, who wore similar crowns when they were condemned. Since Mantegna depicts the Jews with such crowns while they hold Jesus in their hands, Mantegna invents a cunning way to invert the accusers and the accused and embeds a hitherto unexplored, anti-Jewish statement. The article traces the development of the visual tradition of the ostracization of Jews in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries.
The Life of Urban(e) Waters
Authors: Roddy Stephen 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This article discusses how a sequence of 120 bamboo branch lyrics, Ōtō shiji zasshi (Miscellaneous Poems on the Four Seasons East of the Kamogawa, ca. 1826), represent the interface of Kyoto's bustling entertainment quarter with the waters of Kamogawa River that sustained it. Adapting elements of the French philosopher and Sinologist François Jullien's (b. 1951) analytical schema identifying and characterizing what he calls the “folds” or patterns of Chinese and Western thought, the article addresses how poems embed urban livelihoods and entertainment in the seasonal rhythms of their physical settings, and how fluidity, “communicability,” and “discretion” pervade the urban ambiance or urbanity conveyed therein. Pondering such features of this poetry in tandem with Jullien's thought might lead to fruitful discussions of the cultural and physical “folds” that have hardened into present-day urban landscapes. Exploring how fluidity and receptivity to transitivity, both literal and figurative—to currents of air, water, and life itself—might facilitate growth of an urbane sensibility that is less obtrusive and, ergo, less environmentally corrosive in cities of the future.
“Natural” Disasters and Disaster Relief
Authors: Xu Huaji , Gong Haomin 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This article discusses Celestial Fire, volume 2 of Alai's Epic of Ji Village, which depicts a major natural disaster—a wildfire—that hits the village during the Cultural Revolution and the subsequent relief efforts. This article examines how the natural disaster is woven into the texture of social organisms, appropriated by political powers, and maneuvered for building a modern Chinese nation. By investigating how the wildfire, as both a natural and a social event, changes the landscape and the communal structure of Ji Village, and how the state-orchestrated relief efforts fail to lead to salvation, the authors demonstrate the complexity in socialist China of “ecoethnic politics”: politics of ethnic, national, and class relations mediated through ecological changes and reshaping of nature. Nature is thus shown as an ecoideological tapestry into which gender, ethnic, and class politics are intricately interwoven.
Greenwashing, Simulated Green, and Beyond
Authors: Liu Xinmin 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
As a critical term, greenwashing refers derogatorily to the “perfect” images of green and lush scenery presented by corporate-led publicity campaigns to promote their environment-friendly postures while they continue their toxic and harmful business operations. This critique of greenwashing compares the terms greening and greenwashing, followed by a critique of “simulated green” and Yi-fu Tuan's 段義孚 (1930–2022) approach to simulated habitats. It explores the ambiguous role of technological determinism in China's modernization drive and seeks to dissect the nature of the “telescopic hegemony” of sight and vision in the Western model of technoscience and its questionable impact on China's effort to modernize by virtue of technological triumphalism. In examining the cultural ethos and modalities toward the color green to promote ecological awareness, the author focuses mainly on the human cognitive affect for conceiving green as a vital venue to rebuild corporeal ties with our biophysical settings, to guard against the misuse of green to “fix” landscapes by turning them into habitats desirable only to some humans. To that end, the article revisits Yi-fu Tuan's key notions of synesthesia, belongingness, and lived reciprocity and attempts to implement them in critiquing the uprooted and displaced nature of simulated landscapes (including simulated green).
Inventing Climate Change
Authors: Li Cheng 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
By engaging with and bringing together Chinese environmental humanities and science fiction studies, this article argues that the narratives of weather and climate revealed in late Qing science fiction serve as a metonymic vehicle and a medium for addressing China's social and political crises. The author analyzes three late Qing science fiction works—Bingshan xuehai 冰山雪海 (Iceberg and Snow Ocean), Dianshijie 電世界 (Electrical World), and Xinshitouji 新石頭記 (New Story of the Stone)—and delves into the intellectual history of modern Chinese environmental ideas. In exploring literary representations and environmental ideas surrounding topics on the air, this article makes three contributions. First, it compels us to reconsider the promises and pitfalls of evading the narrative of nature's decline. The imagination of the air in late Qing science fiction is characterized by its global scale, inclusive of the surface, but imperial in nature. Second, it illustrates that Chinese domestication of modern environmental ideas is not a one-way street when Chinese intellectuals appropriated Western notions for their own discursive maneuvering. Third, it suggests that the defamiliarization of the air serves as a barometer of understanding the repressed modernity in Chinese literature from an environmental perspective.
Regulation and function of the gill corticotropin-releasing factor system during osmoregulatory disturbances in Atlantic salmon
Authors: Culbert Brett M. , Mossington Emma , McCormick Stephen D. , Bernier Nicholas J. 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT
While corticosteroids, including cortisol, have conserved osmoregulatory functions, the relative involvement of other stress-related hormones in osmoregulatory processes remains unclear. To address this gap, we initially characterized the gill corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) system of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and then determined: (1) how it is influenced by osmotic disturbances; (2) whether it is affected by cortisol; and (3) which physiological processes it regulates in the gills. Most CRF system components were expressed in the gills, with CRF receptor 2 (crfr2a), CRF binding protein (crfbp1 and crfbp2) and urocortin 2 (ucn2a) being the most abundant. The development of seawater tolerance in migratory juveniles (i.e. smolts) was associated with a general transcriptional upregulation of CRF ligands, but transcript levels of crfr2a, crfbp2, crfb2 and ucn2a decreased by ∼50% following seawater transfer. Accordingly, transfer of seawater-acclimated fish into freshwater increased crfr2a and ucn2a levels. Cortisol treatment of cultured gill filaments had marked effects on the CRF system; however, these effects failed to fully replicate changes observed during in vivo experiments, suggesting direct contributions of the gill CRF system during osmotic disturbances. Indeed, activation of the CRF system in cultured filaments from freshwater-acclimated (but not seawater-acclimated) salmon had transcriptional effects on several physiological systems (e.g. endothelial permeability, angiogenesis and immune regulation) which involved contributions by both CRF receptor subtypes. Overall, our results indicate that the gill CRF system is more active in hypoosmotic environments and directly contributes to the coordination of physiological responses following osmotic disturbances.

Published: December 2024

Background
The loss of vaccination cards is a momentous public health challenge in the prevention of vaccine-preventable diseases in most developing countries. There is a paucity of studies on the magnitude of vaccination card losses and associated factors in Ethiopia. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to assess the level of vaccination card loss and associated factors in Ethiopia.

Methods
Data were extracted from the 2019 Ethiopia Mini Demographic and Health Survey, a nationally representative household survey of women aged 15–49 years with children aged 0–35 months. Data from a total of 3208 mother-child pairs was extracted for the study. A multilevel logistic regression model with random effect analysis techniques was used to identify individual and regional-level determinants of vaccination card loss. We checked the model’s fitness by using Akaike Information Criteria and Bayesian Information Criteria. Odds ratios with a 95% Confidence intervals were used to declare statistical significance.

Results
A total of 3208 mother-child pairs from nine regions and two city administrations were included in the analysis. The result revealed that 1933 (60.26%) mother-child pairs did not have vaccination cards during home visits. illiterate mother 2.239 (95% CI: 1.297, 3.864), lowest wealth index category 2.089 (95% CI: 1.432, 3.048), ANC non-user 2.047 (95% CI: 1.605, 2.609), children living with their caretaker 6.749 (95% CI: 1.425, 13.654), having no access to television 1.384 (95% CI: 1.150, 1.664), longer birth interval 1.325 (95% CI: 1.027,1.710), giving birth at home and private health facilities 1.985 (95% CI: 1.579, 2.497), 1.696 (1.086, 2.648), contraceptive non-users 1.295 (95% CI: (1.042,1.609) and children aged 12–23 months and 24–35 months 1.577 (95% CI: 1.252, 1.985) and 2.282 (1.803, 2.889) were associated with vaccination card loss.

Conclusions
Overall vaccination card loss among mothers of 0–35-month-old children is considerably high. To enhance maternal awareness regarding the significance of vaccination cards, promote antenatal care and public health facility delivery, and future researchers have to explore how to enhance vaccination card retention in Ethiopia.

Published: December 2024

Background
Anxiety disorders are prevalent amongst older adults and negatively impact their quality-of-life and health. Anxiety disorders often go undetected or are misattributed to age-related changes. The aim of this systematic review of reviews, was to synthesize existing evidence on risk factors associated with anxiety in older adults to improve opportunities for early detection and intervention.

Methods
A rapid systematic review of reviews was performed. Studies were included if they were systematic reviews, specific to older adults, reported modifiable or non-modifiable factors associated with increased or decreased frequency of anxiety, and reported on anxiety disorders or symptoms of anxiety (including fear of falling).

Results
27 papers met criteria for inclusion. A total of 77 unique risk and protective factors across demographic, health, environmental, and psychosocial domains were identified. Recurrently identified risk factors for anxiety included female sex, health (e.g., multimorbidity, sensory impairments), physical functions (e.g., impaired balance, history of falls), psychological factors (e.g., fear of falling, depression), social isolation, and sleep disturbances, whereas good physical health and balance confidence were protective.

Conclusions
This review reinforces the multifaceted and complex nature of anxiety in older adults. The results synthesized, highlight risk factors that should prompt detection of older adults for anxiety disorders and provide valuable insight for the development of tailored detection tools that better identify older adults at risk. Future research should address methodological limitations and include more diverse populations to improve opportunities for early detection and intervention in this vulnerable population.

Published: December 2024

Introduction
Despite the many benefits of smartphones, researchers have raised concerns over problematic smartphone use (PSU) and its negative effects on physical and psychological well-being. Studies examining PSU and its impact among adults remain limited. Hence, we aim to examine the prevalence of PSU among adults in Singapore, and explore its associations with smartphone activities, sleep quality, and psychological well-being, as well as age and gender-related differences in these associations.

Methods
A household survey (n = 1200) was conducted among multi-ethnic Singapore adults aged 21 to 60. The survey employed a proportionate stratified random sampling approach. The Smartphone Addiction Scale–Short Version was used to determine risk of PSU. Adjusted multivariable logistic regressions, age-stratified (21–30, and above 30) analyses and sensitivity analyses were performed.

Results
The survey response rate was 45.7%. PSU prevalence rate was estimated to be 34.0%. Adults at risk were younger (OR = 3.72, p < 0.001), had poor sleep quality (OR = 2.94), reported depressive (OR = 2.84, p = 0.001) or anxiety symptoms (OR = 2.44, p < 0.001), tend to use smartphones for social media (OR = 2.81, p = 0.002) or entertainment (OR = 2.72, p < 0.001). Protective factors include higher levels of social support (OR = 0.76, p = 0.007), using smartphones for calling family (OR = 0.39, p = 0.003) and friends (OR = 0.53, p = 0.030), and spending four hours or less of smartphone usage duration (OR = 0.40, p < 0.001). Sensitivity analyses confirmed these findings. Associations between PSU and poor sleep quality (OR = 3.72, p < 0.001), depressive (OR = 3.83, p < 0.001), and anxiety symptoms (OR = 2.59, p = 0.004) and social media usage (OR = 3.46, p < 0.001) were more pronounced in adults over 30. PSU was more prevalent among females in those aged 21–30 (OR = 2.60, p = 0.022). Social support appears to be a protective factor for adults over 30 (OR = 0.64, p < 0.001) but was not observed in those aged 21–30. Among males, younger age (21–30 years), poor sleep quality, depressive symptoms, and anxiety symptoms, and using social media and entertainment apps were significantly associated with PSU. Females showed similar associations. Social support appears to be a protective factor for females (OR = 0.70, p = 0.018), but this association was not observed for males. Shorter smartphone usage times were inversely associated with PSU in both genders.

Conclusion
A substantial proportion of adults exhibited PSU. Findings highlight the differential associations between PSU and psychological well-being, social support, interactions with technology, and sleep quality. These associations are influenced by age which has implications for preventive efforts.

Introduction
Cervical cancer is a major public health problem worldwide, and is mainly caused by human papillomaviruses. More than 90% of cervical cancer cases can be prevented by using a human papilloma vaccine and screening. Despite the ongoing global cervical cancer screening target, uptake remains unacceptably low in sub-Saharan Africa such as Tanzania. Although cervical cancer is the leading cause of mortality in Tanzania, evidence on the individual- and community-level factors associated with cervical cancer screening among women of reproductive age is scarce. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the individual- and community-level factors associated with cervical cancer screening among women of reproductive age in Tanzania.

Methods
This study used data from the 2022 Tanzania Demographic and Health Survey (TDHS). A weighted sample of 15,140 women of reproductive age was included in this study. Given the effect of clustering and binary nature of the outcome variable, we used a multilevel binary logistic regression model. The adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with 95% Confidence Interval (CI) was statistically significant. Moreover, the model with the lowest deviance best suited the data.

Results
The overall uptake of cervical cancer screening among Tanzanian women was 7.28% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 6.87%, 7.70%). Women’s age (25–34, 35–49), women with primary, secondary, and higher educational levels, being employed, a high household wealth index, visiting health facilities in the last 12 months, owning mobile phones, urban residence, and southern highlands, Southern, and Zanzibar administrative zones, were significantly associated with cervical cancer screening.

Conclusion
Cervical cancer screening among women in Tanzania was low. Low uptake underscores the need for increased focus on addressing the coverage of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The study would help policymakers create programs that consider education, employment, visiting health facilities, mobile phones, wealth, residence, and administrative zones, which would make women undergo cervical cancer screening. Pointing to women living with low cervical cancer screening could help increase their uptake and achieve the targets of the national and World Health Organization.
Assessing the impact of apnea duration on the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea and hearing loss
Authors: Jo Yong Seok , Lee Jeon Mi 
Published: December 2024

Objectives
The relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and hearing loss (HL) remains uncertain. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between OSA and HL, and to identify which factors play a key role.

Methods
A retrospective review was conducted of 90 subjects diagnosed with OSA. These subjects underwent overnight polysomnography (PSG) and pure-tone audiometry at a single institution from February 2014 to November 2023. Hearing evaluations involved the comparison of OSA subjects with a non-OSA group, identified through national data utilizing the STOP-BANG questionnaire (SBQ) and age-sex 1:1 matching. Subsequently, individuals with OSA were categorized into HL and non-HL groups. Comparisons were made to ascertain differences in PSG parameters, followed by regression analysis to assess their actual impact.

Results
The OSA group exhibited elevated hearing thresholds across all frequencies compared to the non-OSA group. Furthermore, classification of OSA subjects into the HL and non-HL groups revealed a statistically significant increase in apnea duration in the HL group for all-frequency and high-frequency cases (p = 0.038, 0.006). Multiple linear regression analysis, adjusting for age and sex, revealed a significant influence of apnea duration on HL in both all-frequency and high-frequency cases (ß = 0.404, p = 0.002; ß = 0.425, p = 0.001).

Conclusion
These findings underscore the significant association between OSA and reduced auditory function, with apnea duration standing out as a crucial factor contributing to hearing loss. Our results suggest that prolonged apnea duration may be a marker of chronic hypoxic damage in patients with OSA, further clarifying its potential role in the development of hearing loss.

Objective
This study aimed to address this knowledge gap by investigating FGID prevalence and its predictors among undergraduate students in Bangladesh.

Design
This cross-sectional study was conducted between 01 August 2023 and 31 January 2024 among 1,019 undergraduate students. Data were collected using a web-based survey containing questions on socio-demographics, the Rome IV questionnaire, the insomnia severity index, the perceived stress scale 4, the patient health questionnaire, and the smartphone addiction scale. Descriptive statistics, the chi-square test, the t-test, and the multivariable logistic regression model were used to report our study findings.

Results
The overall prevalence of FGID was 38.24%, with functional constipation being the most common subtype (18.24%). The multivariate analysis revealed that college canteen meal (AOR: 1.593, CI: 1.068, 2.376), occasionally and regularly delayed meal (AOR: 1.663, CI: 1.031, 2.682; AOR: 1.872, CI: 1.061, 3.301), physical inactivity (AOR:0.41, CI: 1.061, 3.301), family history of FGID and GI disease (AOR: 4.7, CI: 2.55, 8.66; AOR: 2.42, CI: 1.47, 3.96), history of abdominal surgery (AOR: 2, CI: 1.08, 3.72), psychological trauma (AOR: 1.64, CI: 1.04, 2.57), dairy-product consumption (AOR: 1.64, CI: 1.04, 2.59), >3 meals/day (AOR: 1.89, CI: 1.2, 2.98), insomnia (AOR: 1.98, CI: 0.73, 5.40), and depression (AOR: 7.02, CI: 2.74, 17.98) were significantly associated with FGID.

Conclusion
The burden of FGIDs among Bangladeshi students is concerning. This study found significant factors contributing to their prevalence, including meal source and number of daily meals, delayed meals, family history of disease, physical activity, abdominal surgery, history of psychological trauma, depression, and insomnia. This study recommends further exploration and holistic healthcare approaches to better the well-being of young adults dealing with FGIDs.
