Postmemory
Authors: Blejmar Jordana 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This chapter addresses the links between memory, politics, and performance in the works of the so-called postmemory generations in Latin America, composed of those who were born or grew up during the dictatorships and internal conflicts that shattered the region during the second half of the twentieth century. It specifically discusses two plays: Villa+Discurso (Villa+Speech), written and directed by the Chilean dramaturge Guillermo Calderón, and Cuarto Intermedio: Guía práctica para juicios de lesa humanidad (Recess: A practical guide for trials of crimes against humanity), directed by the Argentine filmmaker Juan Schnitman and performed by the writer Félix Bruzzone, a son of disappeared parents, and Mónica Zwaig, a French lawyer and actress. Both Villa+Discurso and Cuarto intermedio touch upon Latin America’s bleakest crimes but without solemnity and with (dark) humor, and raise important and uncomfortable questions, such as who decides what to do with the material traces of the painful past, and what is our responsibility, our implication, to shared national traumas. Both plays claim that (post)memory is not merely a familial and private issue but is also a collective effort. Moreover (post)memory is presented here not so much as a representation, a recollection, or even a reenactment of the past, but as concrete actions and political interventions in the present. Thus the focus in this chapter is not only on the content of these plays (how postmemory is represented) but, more important, on the effects, and affects, that they produce on and beyond the stage.
The Nation as Family
Authors: Anan Nobuko 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This chapter examines mother-child love linked to love for the nation within two Japanese plays. In Rio Kishida’s Thread Hell (1984), a pre–World War II silk factory represents the Japanese Empire, where a mother and her daughter are manipulated by the nation. However, they eventually challenge this symbolic realm that forces women to sustain the national lineage through their reproductive function. In Hideki Noda’s MIWA (2015), a homosexual transvestite’s relationship with his mother in the postwar period is depicted. As resistance to heteronormative ideas about family, and the nation as its extension, he commits matricide, but this leads to his melancholia as he cannot fully give up his desire to belong to a “normal” family and nation. These plays explore the ways individuals develop a critical relation to the nation by reconfiguring their love for their mother.
Scripts, Authority, and Legitimacy
Authors: Strauss Julia C. 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
Although it is widely recognized that performance permeates politics, there is surprisingly little agreement on how politics in performance plays out across different political and cultural environments. Focusing on the script as both written text and mutually constituted social role that attempts to reinforce legitimacy, this chapter develops two typologies. The first considers the script itself as either optimistic or pessimistic and that appeals to either reason or the emotions; the second how the script is imbricated with its prospective target audience(s) and the degree to which it attempts to divide or unite and either is closed or permits room for improvisation. It develops these typologies by comparing and contrasting the political performances of Xi Jinping and his optimistic and unifying “China Dream” in the increasingly authoritarian People’s Republic of China with the divisive, antitechnocratic jeremiad performances of Donald Trump and Boris Johnson in the United States and the United Kingdom. It concludes that in other political contexts the substance of political performance scripts, the ways in which scripts engage audiences, and how they are modified over time are likely to vary, but to do so in patterned ways.
The Just Savings Principle
Authors: Brandstedt Eric 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This chapter situates John Rawls’ just savings principle in a discussion about how much a nation-state should save. The main question addressed is whether this principle is a viable alternative to the dominant utilitarian theory of optimal growth. Rawls certainly gives savings a different aim (i.e., to create and maintain just institutions) and introduces additional permissibility conditions on reaching this goal (i.e., the necessary burdens should be fairly shared between generations). He thereby gives rise to the field of research now known as intergenerational justice. To assess the relative merits of the just savings principle, however, more details are needed; and this chapter aims to supply some of them. First, the principle of just savings is given a more determinate form whereby it is understood as a two-stage combination of a priority principle at the stage of institutional development and a difference principle at the maintenance stage. Second, some of its practical bearings are explored (i.e., its implications for real-life savings decisions). Among other things, the idea that the principle leads to a steady-state economy is problematized, and its relevance to concrete problems, such as climate change and the design of pension schemes, is assessed.
Creative Transformation, the Bible, and China
Authors: Yeo K. K. 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This essay serves to introduce the structure and master themes of this Handbook, which showcases critical-descriptive evidence and the creative impact of the Bible in China and to the world. After a brief stocktaking of the Chinese Bible, the essay sets the agenda by explaining four synchronizing and transformative moves of the Chinese Bible: its translation into China’s languages and dialects; its expression in Chinese literary and religious contexts; its interpretation methods; and its reception in the institutions and arts of China. The essay ends with reflections on three critical issues of the significant role of the Bible over thirteen centuries of Chinese history and Chinese cultures. It also seeks to examine the thesis that, while the Bible is an ancient text, it is not a relic of the past, and the culturally enlivened Chinese Bible has been a living text for China.
Chinese Buddhist Writings and the Bible
Authors: Boyun Liu 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This essay examines the influence of Buddhist writings on the Bible. In the Tang dynasty, when the Church of the East reached China, they did not hold onto the idea of fixed Scripture in the form of an Old and a New Testament. The growing Buddhist canon had its impact on Tang Christians’ concept of authoritative text. As a result, the clergy produced a wide range of sūtras as their canon. They also appropriated many Buddhist terms, but managed to keep their Christian doctrines intact. Later Bible translations show little Buddhist influence, but we can still see traces of Buddhist vocabulary.
Sino-Christian Theology and the Bible
Authors: Lai Pan-chiu 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This essay offers an analysis of the relationship of Sino-Christian theology, a cultural qua theological movement flourishing in contemporary China, with the Bible. Based on a survey of the articles published in Logos & Pneuma: Chinese Journal of Theology (Dao Feng), the organ journal of Sino-Christian theology, and some other relevant publications, it argues that due to the political atmosphere, the institutional restriction, and the intellectual as well as religious orientations of the relevant scholars, Sino-Christian theology had made very limited efforts in developing biblical studies as an academic discipline in mainland China until the mid-2000s or so. Since then, the publications related to biblical studies proliferated dramatically in mainland China, and some approaches to biblical studies with certain Chinese characteristics have been developed. It is expected that some innovative approaches to the Bible as well as biblical studies will be further developed in the Chinese-speaking world.
Scriptural Reasoning in China
Authors: Bin You 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
Interreligious learning through cross reading the Scriptures, including the Christian Bible, has been a long-standing cultural phenomenon in China. The essay looks at the recent reception and experimental practice of Scriptural Reasoning (SR) in China in the last twenty years, and the extensions of SR made by Chinese scholars, for instance, the transformation of SR to a discipline of Comparative Scripture, the integration of SR with ancient Chinese values of deep learning in border crossing, and an inclusion of Chinese religious Scriptures in SR, etc. A report and evaluation of a ten-month experimental practice of SR at Minzu University of China follows. And finally, the essay identifies some prospects for SR in China, including promoting the practice of SR among religious communities, developing a systematic interpretation of sacred texts with the inspiration from SR, and a deep combining of SR, methodologically and theoretically, with the study of history of Chinese religions.
The Bible and Iconography in China
Authors: Standaert Nicolas 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This essay discusses the link between Bible and iconography in China (seventeenth–eighteenth centuries) in three steps: first it sketches the background of the use of images in the Jesuit tradition in Europe—didactic use, visual meditation, spiritual exercises; next, it gives an overview of the major publications or productions in China by dividing them into sources from the late Ming (1582–1644) and early Qing (1644–1722); finally, it sketches how Chinese and European traditions were interwoven in these images. The essay underscores the fact that biblical iconography had a didactic function of using a narrative approach to mission by preaching the life of Christ with the support of images.
The Basset-Su Chinese new Testament
Authors: Gang Song 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This essay examines the first Chinese New Testament translated by the missionary of the Paris Foreign Missions Society (M.E.P.) Jean Basset (1662–1707) in collaboration with Confucian convert Johan Su in the early Qing period. Though they did not complete a full translation of the New Testament, the work carried unique characteristics that went beyond the limitations of its time. One of the original manuscripts also exerted direct influence on nineteenth-century Protestant translations. With in-depth analysis of this exemplary piece among early Catholic endeavors, the essay addresses a set of key concerns that have not been sufficiently studied, including Basset’s vision of a Chinese Bible, the translation principle and techniques, Christian and Chinese terminology, and the interface of biblical translations and Chinese language and literature. The findings of this study offer fresh insights and facilitate a re-evaluation of Catholic contributions and legacy in the history of the Bible in China.
Development of Chinese Dialect Bibles
Authors: Rujie You 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
Bible versions in China are classified into five categories: the classical literary (high wenli) version; the simpler literary (easy wenli) version; the Mandarin version; the dialects version; and the national language version. This essay surveys the history and characteristics of the major Chinese dialect Bibles, including many dialects of the following regions: Wu, Min, Gan, Hakka, and Yue. On one hand, the Chinese dialects are necessary for the translation of the Bible and the propagation of Christian faith as well as the liturgical/spiritual life of the church; on the other hand, the Chinese dialect Bibles provide precious information for the synchronic study of every single dialect.
Sacredness in the Bible and Chinese Cultures
Authors: Tak-Kwong Chan 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This article is an introduction to the meaning of sacredness in the Bible and the Chinese culture, ending with a synthesis of the concept. The methodology of this article consists of biblical studies, Chinese philosophy, and religious studies. What is particular to this article are the three stages of development of sacredness in the Bible, as well as the idea of sacredness as transformation according to the nature ordained by Heaven (Confucianism) or as a modeling after the nature of Dao (Daoism) in the Chinese culture. The finding of this study is to confirm that, despite different interpretations, both the biblical and the Chinese traditions would agree that each human being is destined to be a sacred or a divine person.
Venezuelan Youth and the Routinization of Conflict
Authors: Rojas Avendaño Inés 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This essay examines young Venezuelans’ experiences of daily insecurities and critical situations and their responses using the framework of ontological security. The study uses the concept of ‘multiple youths,’ proposed by Latin American scholars, to link the ideas of security and identity, to explore the different intersubjective understandings of these notions in the lives of university students, and to explain their choice of conflict as part of the ordinary. Empirical analysis shows how routinization of conflict has a strong psychological impact on Venezuelan youth’s intersubjective identity formation and interpretation of events as ordinary or threatening. The routinization of conflict is a response to maintaining ontological security, providing a sense of constancy and continuity since it has become part of the routines of university students in Venezuela. In addition, conflict helps eliminate and/or delegitimize the ‘other,’ hence hindering dialogue and a negotiated solution to the current political impasse.
Gesture Is an Intrinsic Part of Modern-day Human Communication and May Always Have Been So
Authors: Goldin-Meadow Susan 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
This chapter reviews three types of evidence from current-day languages consistent with the view that human language has always drawn upon both the manual and oral modalities, a view that is contra the gesture-first theory of language evolution. First, gesture and speech form a single system, with speech using a categorical format and gesture a mimetic format. Second, when this system is disrupted, as when speech is not possible, the manual modality takes over the categorical forms typical of speech. Finally, when the manual modality assumes a categorical format, as in sign languages of the Deaf, mimetic forms do not disappear but arise in the gestures signers produce as they sign. This picture of modern-day language is consistent with the view that gesture and speech have both been part of human language from the beginning.
Transcranial Static Magnetic Field Stimulation
Authors: Foffani Guglielmo , Oliviero Antonio 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
Focal application of a relatively strong permanent magnet over the human cortex induces neurophysiological and behavioral effects. This discovery led to the inclusion of transcranial static magnetic field stimulation (tSMS) into the family of non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques. Similarly to all NIBS techniques, we are far from understanding the exact mechanisms by which tSMS produces its effects, but converging evidence suggests that modulation of ionic interchange across the membrane may be responsible for its physiological effects at the cellular level. Promising results have been reported on the treatment effects of tSMS in Parkinson’s disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The safety, simplicity, portability, and low cost of tSMS make it particularly appealing for shifting the NIBS therapeutic paradigm from clinic-based to home-based treatments.
Inflorescence abscission protein SlIDL6 promotes low light intensity-induced tomato flower abscission
Authors: Li Ruizhen , Shi Chun-Lin , Wang Xiaoyang , Meng Yan , Cheng Lina , Jiang Cai-Zhong , Qi Mingfang , Xu Tao , Li Tianlai 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
In many fruiting plant species, flower abscission is induced by low light stress. Here, we elucidated how signaling mediated by the peptide INFLORESCENCE DEFICIENT IN ABSCISSION (IDA) controls low light-induced flower drop in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). We analyzed the expression patterns of an IDA-Like gene (SlIDL6) during low light-induced flower abscission, and used tandem mass spectrometry to identify and characterize the mature SlIDL6 peptide. Tomato knockout lines were created to investigate the in vivo function of SlIDL6. In addition, yeast one-hybrid assays were used to investigate the binding of the SlWRKY17 transcription factor to the SlIDL6 promoter, and silencing of SlWRKY17 expression delayed low light-induced flower abscission. SlIDL6 was specifically expressed in the abscission zone and at high levels during low light-induced abscission and ethylene treatment. SlIDL6 knockout lines showed delayed low light-induced flower drop, and the application of SlIDL6 peptide accelerated abscission. Overexpression of SlIDL6 rescued the ida mutant phenotype in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), suggesting functional conservation between species. SlIDL6-mediated abscission was via an ethylene-independent pathway. We report a SlWRKY17-SlIDL6 regulatory module that functions in low light promoted abscission by increasing the expression of enzymes involved in cell wall remodeling and disassembly.
The rice germin-like protein OsGLP1 participates in acclimation to UV-B radiation

Published: March 2021

Abstract
Exposure to ultraviolet B radiation (UV-B) stress can have serious effects on the growth and development of plants. Germin-like proteins (GLPs) may be involved in different abiotic and biotic stress responses in different plants, but little is known about the role of GLPs in UV-B stress response and acclimation in plants. In the present study, knockout of GLP 8–14 (OsGLP1) using the CRISPR/Cas9 system resulted in mutant rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants (herein called glp1) that exhibited UV-B-dependent formation of lesion mimic in leaves. Moreover, glp1 grown under solar radiation (including UV-B) showed decreased plant height and increased leaf angle, but we observed no significant differences in phenotypes between wild-type (WT) plants and glp1 grown under artificial light lacking UV-B. Fv/Fm, Y (II) and the expression of many genes, based on RNA-seq analysis, related to photosynthesis were also only reduced in glp1, but not in WT, after transfer from a growth cabinet illuminated with artificial white light lacking UV-B to growth under natural sunlight. The genes-associated with flavonoid metabolism as well as UV resistance locus 8 (OsUVR8), phytochrome interacting factor-like 15-like (OsPIF3), pyridoxal 5′-phosphate synthase subunit PDX1.2 (OsPDX1.2), deoxyribodipyrimidine photolyase (OsPHR), and deoxyribodipyrimidine photolyase family protein-like (OsPHRL) exhibited lower expression levels, while higher expression levels of mitogen-activated protein kinase 5-like (OsMPK3), mitogen-activated protein kinase 13-like (OsMPK13), and transcription factor MYB4-like (OsMYB4) were observed in glp1 than in WT after transfer from a growth cabinet illuminated with artificial white light to growth under natural sunlight. Therefore, mutations in OsGLP1 resulted in rice plants more sensitive to UV-B and reduced expression of some genes for UV-B protection, suggesting that OsGLP1 is involved in acclimation to UV-B radiation.
Exploring Young Drivers’ Perceptions of Procedurally Just Policing
Authors: Bates Lyndel , Anderson Levi , McLean Rebecca 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
The procedural justice approach to policing may be an effective method of reducing young driver noncompliance with traffic laws. We undertook a qualitative study in two Australian states (Queensland and Victoria) to explore how procedural justice operates when police interact with young drivers. Metropolitan and regional focus groups were conducted (n = 31, 45% male, 17–25 years), and transcripts coded against the four procedural justice elements: (a) neutrality, (b) respect, (c) voice, and (d) trust. Young drivers did not perceive neutral treatment; they felt targeted due to their provisional licence plate, their gender (male), and vehicle type. Despite this, young drivers reported their interactions with police to be respectful, they were allowed to present their point of view (voice), and that police officers and agencies could be trusted. This has implications for how the procedural justice framework is conceptualized and operationalized, for it to be an effective tool for policing young drivers.
Homological bulk–edge correspondence for Weyl semimetals
Authors: Gomi Kiyonori 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
For a certain translationally invariant tight-binding model of 3D Weyl semimetals, we establish a bulk–edge correspondence as an equality of two relative homology classes, based on an idea of Mathai and Thiang: [14] and [15] From spectral information on the edge Hamiltonian, we construct a relative homology class on the surface momentum space. This class agrees with the image under the surface projection of a homology class on the bulk momentum space relative to the Weyl points, constructed from the bulk Hamiltonian. Furthermore, the relative homology class on the surface momentum space can be represented by homology cycles whose images constitute Fermi arcs, the loci where the edge Hamiltonian admits a zero spectrum.
The risk of thrombosis after acute-COVID-19 infection
Authors: Zuin M , Rigatelli G , Zuliani G , Roncon L 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) has been associated with coagulation dysfunction which predisposes patients to an increased risk of both venous and arterial thromboembolism, increasing the short-term morbidity and mortality. Current data evidenced that the rate of post-discharge thrombotic events in COVID-19 patients is lower compared to that observed during hospitalization. Rather than ‘true thrombotic events’, these complications seem more probably ‘immunothrombosis’ consequent to the recent infection. Unfortunately, the absence of data from randomized controlled trials, large prospective cohorts and ambulatory COVID-19 patients, left unresolved the question regarding the need of post-discharge thromboprophylaxis due to the absence of strong-level recommendations.
A Theory of Foreign Exchange Interventions
Authors: Fanelli Sebastián , Straub Ludwig 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
We study a real small open economy with two key ingredients (1) partial segmentation of home and foreign bond markets and (2) a pecuniary externality that makes the real exchange rate excessively volatile in response to capital flows. Partial segmentation implies that, by intervening in the bond markets, the central bank can affect the exchange rate and the spread between home- and foreign-bond yields. Such interventions allow the central bank to address the pecuniary externality, but they are also costly, as foreigners make carry trade profits. We analytically characterize the optimal intervention policy that solves this trade-off: (1) the optimal policy leans against the wind, stabilizing the exchange rate; (2) it involves smooth spreads but allows exchange rates to jump; (3) it partly relies on “forward guidance,” with non-zero interventions even after the shock has subsided; (4) it requires credibility, in that central banks do not intervene without commitment. Finally, we shed light on the global consequences of widespread interventions, using a multi-country extension of our model. We find that, left to themselves, countries over-accumulate reserves, reducing welfare and leading to inefficiently low world interest rates.
