ObjectivesTo assess the factors associated with foot self-care behaviour and non-adherence to foot screening among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Design and settingA multicentre cross-sectional study was undertaken in seven primary care polyclinics in Singapore between October 2020 and December 2021.Participants and outcomes275 adults (male 55.3%) with T2DM were included and assessed with the foot self-care behaviour questionnaire, including two aspects of foot care behaviour-preventative behaviour and potential damaging behaviour, and foot care confidence scale. Non-adherence to diabetic foot screening (DFS) attendance was also collected and assessed.ResultsThe average preventive behaviour score was 0.65 (SD 0.13, range 0–1) and potential damaging behaviour score was 0.43 (SD 0.09, range 0–1). Patients with greater foot care confidence (β=0.272) and being married (β=0.141) were more likely to adopt preventive behaviours, while patients aged between 21 and 45 years (β=0.136), having shorter DM duration (<5 years) (β=0.142) and moderate foot risk category (β=0.138) were more likely to adopt potential damaging behaviours. Non-adherence to DFS attendance was prevalent up to 43.3%. Non-adherence was higher in patients with higher HbA1c ≥7% (adjusted OR (AOR) 1.878, 95% CI 1.090 to 3.235) and moderate foot risk category (AOR 2.935, 95% CI 1.426 to 7.744).ConclusionSelf-efficacy and being married are associated with preventive behaviours, while clinical parameters (eg, HbA1c, duration of DM and foot risk category) and age were associated with potential damaging behaviours and non-adherence to DFS appointments. Longitudinal studies are needed to confirm the findings for developing foot behavioural education to support foot care behaviours for primary care patients with T2DM.

Published: December 2024

BackgroundAllied health professionals (AHPs) in inpatient mental health, learning disability and autism services work in cultures dominated by other professions who often poorly understand their roles. Furthermore, identified learning from safety incidents often lacks focus on AHPs and research is needed to understand how AHPs contribute to safe care in these services.MethodsA rapid literature review was conducted on material published from February 2014 to February 2024, reporting safety incidents within adult inpatient mental health, learning disability and autism services in England, with identifiable learning for AHPs. 115 reports/publications were included, predominantly consisting of independent investigations by NHS England, prevent future deaths reports and Care Quality Commission reports.FindingsMisunderstanding of AHP roles, from senior leadership to frontline staff, led to AHPs being disempowered and excluded from conversations/decisions, and patients not getting sufficient access to AHPs, contributing to safety incidents. A central thread ‘organisational culture’ ran through five subthemes: (1) (lack of) effective multidisciplinary team (MDT) working, evidenced by poor communication, siloed working, marginalisation of AHPs and a lack of psychological safety; (2) (lack of) AHP involvement in patient care including care and discharge planning, and risk assessment/management. Some MDTs had no AHPs, some recommendations by AHPs were not actioned and referrals to AHPs were not always made when indicated; (3) training needs were identified for AHPs and other professions; (4) staffing issues included understaffing of AHPs and (5) senior management and leadership were found to not value/understand AHP roles, and instil a blame culture. A need for cohesive, well-led and nurturing MDTs was emphasised.ConclusionUnderstanding and recognition of AHP roles is lacking at all levels of healthcare organisations. AHPs can be marginalised in MDTs, presenting risks to patients and missed opportunities for quality improvement. Raising awareness of the essential roles of AHPs is critical for improving quality and safety in inpatient mental health, learning disability and autism services.
Cystic fibrosis carrier screening in Australia: comparing sequencing and targeted panels across diverse ancestries
Authors: Lee Eric , Orton Kaylee 
Published: December 2024

BackgroundTargeted cystic fibrosis (CF) carrier screening panels may lack sensitivity in non-European ancestry groups. This study aims to evaluate the sensitivity of various panels in Australian CF carriers identified through sequencing.MethodsThe following panels were evaluated in 869 CF carriers: Asuragen, Elucigene, Devyser, American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics and Victorian Clinical Genetics Services. Ancestry-specific CF carrier frequencies from population databases and Bayesian analysis were used to estimate post-test residual carrier risks.ResultsWhen variants with varying clinical consequences (VCC) were not considered, mean test sensitivity was highest in the Northern Europe group (95.6%) and lowest in the Southern Asia group (64.0%). The post-test residual carrier risk in the Northern Europe group was approximately 1 in 546, with only the Southern Asia group having a higher residual carrier risk of 1 in 179.ConclusionThe Southern Asia group exhibited the lowest test sensitivity and the highest post-test residual carrier risk, surpassing that of the Northern Europe group. The inclusion or exclusion of VCC significantly impacted the calculated test sensitivities. Further research is suggested to better characteriseCFTRvariants in non-European ancestry groups and to determine which VCC, if any, should be included in carrier screening reports.

Published: December 2024

Objective: The investigation of brain functional network dynamics offers a promising approach to understanding network reorganization poststroke. This study aims to explore the dynamic network configurations associated with motor recovery in stroke patients and assess their predictive potential using multilayer network analysis.Methods: Resting‐state functional magnetic resonance imaging data were collected from patients with subacute stroke within 2 weeks of onset and from matched healthy controls (HCs). Group‐independent component analysis and a sliding window approach were utilized to construct dynamic functional networks. A multilayer network model was applied to quantify the switching rates of individual nodes, subnetworks, and the global network across the dynamic network. Correlation analyses assessed the relationship between switching rates and motor function recovery, while linear regression models evaluated the predictive potential of global network switching rate on motor recovery outcomes.Results: Stroke patients exhibited a significant increase in the switching rates of specific brain regions, including the medial frontal gyrus, precentral gyrus, inferior parietal lobule, anterior cingulate, superior frontal gyrus, and postcentral gyrus, compared to HCs. Additionally, elevated switching rates were observed in the frontoparietal network, default mode network, cerebellar network, and in the global network. These increased switching rates were positively correlated with baseline Fugl–Meyer assessment (FMA) scores and changes in FMA scores at 90 days poststroke. Importantly, the global network’s switching rate emerged as a significant predictor of motor recovery in stroke patients.Conclusions: The reorganization of dynamic network configurations in stroke patients reveals crucial insights into the mechanisms of motor recovery. These findings suggest that metrics of dynamic network reorganization, particularly global network switching rate, may offer a robust predictor of motor recovery.
Inflammatory Markers and Risk of Parkinson’s Disease: A Population‐Based Analysis
Authors: Wang Hongping , Li Wenqiang , Lai Qun , Huang Qian , Ding Hao , Deng Zhiping 
Published: December 2024

Objected: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is an important cause of neurological dysfunction, and the aim of this study was to explore whether neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte‐to‐monocyte ratio (LMR), systemic inflammatory response (SIRI), and systemic immune inflammation (SII) are associated with the risk of developing PD. Based on this, we may identify people at high risk for PD and intervene early.Method: Our study included 31,480 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 2001 and 2018. Basic information and inflammation‐related indicators were obtained by questionnaires and laboratory tests, respectively. NLR, PLR, LMR, SIRI, SII, and PD risk were analyzed using weighted logistic regression models.Results: There were 261 and 31,219 in the PD and non‐PD groups, respectively, and the prevalence of PD was 0.83%. Separate analyses of NLR and PLR were conducted after fully adjusting for confounding factors. According to our analysis, there was an increased risk of PD for both NLR and PLR in the higher level group (Q4) as compared with the lower level group (Q1) (OR = 1.83 and 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.09–3.07, and OR = 1.92 and 95% CI = 1.20–3.08). However, we did not find similar relationships in LMR, SIRI, and SII.Conclusions: There was a significant association between elevated levels of NLR, PLR, and PD risk, while LMR, SIRI, and SII were not statistically significant. It suggests that NLR or PLR could be used to screen people at risk of PD at an early stage. It is essential to conduct more large‐scale prospective studies to investigate the role that NLR and PLR play in PD.
Marxist Debates on the Origin of Capitalism Explored Based on an Althusserian Perspective
Authors: Kadri Jude 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This article examines Marxist debates surrounding the origins of capitalism, focusing on the “primitive accumulation of capital” as posited by Karl Marx and its implications for understanding the transition from feudalism to capitalism. Through an Althusserian lens emphasizing “overdetermination”, the article examines three theories involved in two major intra-Marxist debates: the Brenner-Wallerstein controversy, and the Wallerstein-Frank exchange. This analysis contends that Wallerstein’s framework adheres more closely to historical materialism, despite its one concept related to empiricism (the concept of “World-System”). Both Brenner’s and Frank’s frameworks devolve into empiricist analysis—Brenner into humanism and Frank into historicism—making their theories on the origin of capitalism completely wrong. The article asserts that a proper understanding of capitalism’s origins must account for the “overdetermination”, meaning the dominant relation of production defining the “totality of the relations of production” during a specific historical period. Such an understanding would lead to considering the social role of colonialism in the development of capitalism as a mode of production. Ultimately, the article argues that while Wallerstein’s theory is the most accurate in its historical materialist approach, its “World-System” conceptualization blurs essential Marxist principles, necessitating a return to the orthodox framework of the “mode of production”.

Résumé
Cet article vise à mettre en lumière certaines caractéristiques des pratiques commerciales dans l’Égypte fatimide à travers l’analyse d’une lettre inédite du IVe/Xe siècle, écrite en Haute-Égypte, parvenue à son destinataire à Fusṭāṭ, et actuellement conservée au Musée d’art islamique de Doha. Elle introduit à la sphère commerciale de cette période à travers un contrat de vente et d’achat, élaboré entre deux marchands. Le document révèle tout un pan des pratiques commerciales quotidiennes : la transaction elle-même, la nature des biens échangés, leur prix, l’organisation du système de garanties et de substitutions, la fonction et la place des chartes marchandes, le rôle joué par les intermédiaires et l’échange personnel entre les deux parties.
Mobilizing Amidst an Uprising: Independent Professional Associations and Lebanon’s October 17 Movement
Authors: Mouawad Jamil 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This paper delves into the evolving role of professional associations within the complex political landscape of uprisings and transitions, with a focus on Lebanon through two significant case studies – the Order of Engineers and Architects (oea) and the Lebanese Professional Associations–University Professors (lpa). While the general trend to understand the fragmentation and marginalization of independent unions and associations in the Arab world is centered mainly on the intricate interplay between these structures and their external environment, this paper looks instead at the internal organizational determinants that had an impact on their effectiveness at times of mobilization. This paper argues that ongoing protests accelerate the value of organizing yet pose irresolvable obstacles to these organizations. This is not primarily due to lack of experience or organizational skills but equally important to the context in which they are unfolding, regardless of how well defined the objectives of these groups might be.
Madīna or Miʾdhana? Revisiting the ‘Foundation Inscription’ of Qaṣr al-Ḥayr al-Sharqī
Authors: Treadwell Luke 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
In the early 19th century J.-B. Rousseau included the following phrase in his reading of the well-known inscription from the Umayyad site of Qaṣr al-Ḥayr al-Sharqī – ‘… This town (madīna) was built by order of ʿAbd Allāh Hishām, Commander of the Believers …’. A century later Charles Clermont-Ganneau argued that the Arabic term in question was miʾdhana rather than madīna. The revised reading was rejected (or ignored) by successive generations of scholars, but new data shows that Clermont-Ganneau was right. This paper examines the reasons for the rejection of the miʾdhana reading and outlines the implications of its reinstatement.
The Marinid Royal Estate of Ǧannat Al-Muṣāra and Its Great Noria (New Fez, Morocco)
Authors: Almela Íñigo 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
As the main seat of the Marinid dynasty in al-Maġrib al-Aqṣā, New Fez had all the religious, civil and military facilities necessary for the performance of its functions. It also followed the model of other capitals in the Islamic West in featuring a large estate used for the ruler’s enjoyment, welcoming emissaries, and supervising the troops. Although most elements have disappeared, some archaeological structures of great importance still remain. This paper presents them, highlighting two particularly noteworthy structures: a large waterwheel and a monumental aqueduct.
Mīrzā ʿAbd al-Razzāq Faġfurī: Master of Persian Tilework in the Late Qajar and Early Pahlavi Period
Authors: Mousavi Atefeh Seyed 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Mīrzā ʿAbd al-Razzāq Faġfurī was the most prolific tile-painting artist in Shiraz of the late Qajar and early Pahlavi periods. Exercising a great influence on subsequent tile artists, he became an identification figure of Qajar narrative tilework and contributed decisively to the visual culture of the Qajar period.
This study investigates ʿAbd al-Razzāq’s life and career, his signature work, his traditional tile workshop and his main apprentices. It classifies and analyzes the themes and narratives depicted by ʿAbd al-Razzāq on the tile panels and explores his unique visual vocabulary. Moreover, the architectural structures decorated with ʿAbd al-Razzāq’s tile paintings will be briefly discussed.
A Supplementary Contribution to Research on Iranian Kuse, Turkish Köse and Their Slavic Zoomorphic Counterparts
Authors: Kłagisz Mateusz M.P. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This article examines ritualistic performances in pre-modern Iranian, Turkish, and Slavic agrarian-pastoral communities, focusing on a fertility myth centered around a suffering, dying, and resurrecting deity. Grounded in animistic worldviews, this myth establishes intricate connections between humans and the cosmos, guiding ritual behaviors to ensure agricultural fertility and cosmic harmony. The analysis explores symbolic transformations across these folk traditions, addressing interpretative challenges through cultural and comparative studies. The study delves into various ritual aspects including names, costumes, dates, locations, audiences, troupes, scenarios, gifts, and carol-type quête-songs, highlighting common features across multiple local variants. This examination enhances understanding of the ritual’s cultural and geographical diversity. Emphasis is placed on using locally available materials to create transformative attire for zoomorphic protagonists, contributing to a carnivalesque atmosphere. Ritual timing varies across cultural realms, often tied to agricultural or cultural milestones and symbolic transitions. Typically held in liminal spaces such as a host’s courtyard or farmyard, the ritual engages peasants and local community members with young carolling troupes of varying roles and sizes. The ritual scenario blends semi-play with quête-songs and magical gestures, symbolizing life’s cyclical nature and nature’s renewal. Gift-giving during the ritual symbolizes the exchange of blessings, reinforcing mutual dependence, while quête-songs, believed to possess magical power, address communal concerns. Drawing on Bakhtin’s concept of folk carnival humor, this research illuminates the ritual’s festive and inclusive nature, drawing parallels with carnival practices. Further exploration of Bakhtin’s concepts in folk rituals and the role of carnival elements is recommended for future research.
دفاعًا عن جماليات القرون الوسطى: أومبرتو إيكو وفكرة العمل المفتوح

ملخص
قدم أومبرتو إيكو رؤيته الجديدة في النظر للفن والدين والإحساس بالجمال في القرون الوسطى في إطار الفكر الهرمينوطيقي، مقدما رده على بعض الاتجاهات التي تزعم خلوها من الفكر والتأمل الفلسفي والأخلاقي والجمالي، مؤكداً على ضرورة مراعاة السياق الذي عاشت فيه القرون الوسطى وليس الحكم عليها من منطلق السياق الذي نعيشه نحن الآن، مركزاً على أنها لم تكن عمياء تجاه القيم الأخلاقية والجمالية، مستشهداً بأحد أعلامها وهو ”القديس توما الأكويني“. ونستجلي، في هذه الدراسة، أوجه الجدة فيما طرحه إيكو بصدد جماليات العصور الوسطى في ضوء فكرته عن الانفتاح من خلال كتابه العمل المفتوح الذي ألّفه بعد كتاب مشكلة الجمال عند توما الأكوينلى، مبيّنين كيف ساعدته رؤيته المفتوحة للسياق الذي عاشت فيه العصور الوسطى على تشكيل رؤيته حول الجماليات المعاصرة. لقد شغلت فكرة العمل المفتوح إيكو منذ بداية مشواره الفلسفي، وتكاد تمثل البوصلة الأساسية التي تتحكم في معظم كتاباته سواءً في الفلسفة أو في الأدب وغير ذلك من موضوعات، وقد عرض في هذا العمل للعديد من النماذج والأمثلة الجمالية ليبين من خلالها كيف يسيطر العمل المفتوح على الجماليات من حولنا. ولا تخلو هذه النظرة التي نأمل تقديمها لجماليات العصور الوسطى في ضوء العمل المفتوح من أهمية؛ لأنها تعيد النظر فيما تم كتابته في تاريخ نشأة علم الجمال من جهة، وتكشف عن سمة بارزة في فلسفة إيكو الجمالية، وهي الاهتمام بالسياق الجمالي للقرون الوسطى من جهة أخرى‫.‬

“I called upon the Lord in distress: the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place. […] Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the Lord helped me” (Ps 118[117]:5.13). On the Lexical Variation of Church Slavonic Psalter Redactions. The Case of Translations of the Greek ἀντιλαμβάνω, συναντιλαμβάνομαι, βοηθέω, λυτρόω, ἐρύω, ὑπερασπίζω: A Quantitative Approach
This article, another one in a series of studies dealing with the lexical variation of Church Slavonic Psalter redactions, continues previous investigations of vocabulary used by man to address God as his protector, helper, saviour, etc. The paper analyses the use of (Old) Church Slavonic equivalents of such Greek verbs (connected with the nouns / substantive participles ἀντιλή(μ)πτωρ, ἀντίλη(μ)ψις, βοήθεια, βοηθός, λύτρωσις, λυτρωτής, ῥυόμενος, ῥυστής, ὑπερασπισμóς and ὑπερασπιστής) as ἀντιλαμβάνω, συναντιλαμβάνομαι, βοηθέω, λυτρόω, ἐρύω, ὑπερασπίζω. It also points out the Hebrew equivalents of the Greek and (O)CS words in focus. The study concentrates on the quantitative aspect of the use of the vocabulary under discussion, with qualitative issues (source, context, semantics, word-formation, etc.) remaining in the background.
