Seen from Below. Five Biographes from al-Ḫaṭīb al-Baġdādī’s Taʾrīḫ Baġdād
Authors: Capezzone Leonardo 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Narratology seems to offer an analytical tool capable of shedding light on the way in which al-Ḫaṭīb al-Baġdādī (d. 463/1071) chooses and arranges the vast reserve of ḫabars to compose the biographies that give life to his Taʾrīḫ Baġdād. Following Gerard Genette’s notion of narrative instance, we can observe that in the biographies collected by al-Ḫaṭīb always lies a creative tension that guides the author in the choice and juxtaposition of every single ḫabar relating to the biographee, capable of visualizing the peculiar space in which every character moves, and bringing out a singular relationship of expectation and cooperation between author and reader. Al-Ḫaṭīb’s narrative strategies establish one or more levels of the impact that the biographed character had on the city of Baghdad, on its urban life, and on the ideological depth that animates public opinion.
The five biographies examined – al-Ḫayzurān, al-Maʾmūn, Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal, Ibn Sallām and Isḥāq al-Naḫaʿī – are intended to be a small but relevant sample of the creative use of the ḫabar in al-Ḫaṭīb’s (and then in an Islamic) particular conception of the history of a city.
Make-see: Baššār b. Burd’s Blindness as a Narrative Prosthesis in the Aġānī
Authors: Pozzoli Federico 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The article looks at the biographical profile of the early Abbasid poet Baššār b. Burd in the Kitāb al-Aġānī from the point of view of literary disability studies. Drawing from Mitchell and Snynder’s theory of the narrative prosthesis and al-Ṣafadī’s theoretical reflections on blindness, it asks how Baššār’s blindness influences his characterisation in the Aġānī. By investigating some humorous stories revolving around the poet’s (mis)perception, the article argues that blindness allows the author to foreground focalisation as a source of narrative interest and poetic reflection.
The Language Legacy: Primary Sources and Corpus Planning in Classical Arabic
Authors: Olivieri Simona 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This paper outlines the ideological dimensions of the codification process of Classical Arabic by discussing the role of primary sources in corpus planning. The contribution reflects on the ideology surrounding the language materials that served as the foundations for the grammar-making of Classical Arabic, emphasizing how sources are relevant for bearing linguistic value and historical significance while being particularly aligned with socio-cultural and religious values, thereby reflecting broader ideological considerations. By presenting current theoretical frameworks and assessing the state of the field, the paper highlights the essential role of extra-linguistic factors – such as social, cultural, and religious contexts – in shaping corpus planning strategies for Classical Arabic.

Rebels on the Caspian Coast and the ʿAlid Armies of Northern Iran: a Network Analysis of the Origins of the Buyids, Musafirids, and Ziyarids
Authors: Sagha Mohammad 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The article studies the nature of alliance formation and war-making in Northern Iran during the period of ʿAlid governance (mid-3rd Hijri/9th Common Era century) and the subsequent emergence of three powerful Daylami dynasties (Ziyarids, Buyids, Musafirids). It charts how charismatic ʿAlid leaders and revolutionary Shiʿism empowered anti-status quo Daylami elites and rearranged power coalitions to defeat both pro-status quo local Daylami powers and extra-regional opponents such as the Abbasids. Utilizing social network analysis and drawing on original Arabic and Persian primary sources, this article provides two main contributions: (a) it introduces a theory of conflict and dynastic emergence for new Daylami dynasties and elite ʿAlid army officer networks; and (b) it re-visits the academic literature about 50 years after the last publication of the main influential articles and centers new advances in social network analysis as well as scholarship of academics in the Middle East in the intervening half-century.
Exploring Gulf Manumission Documents with Word Vectors
Authors: Kirmizialtin Suphan , Wrisley David Joseph 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
In this article we analyze a corpus related to manumission and slavery in the Arabian Gulf in the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century that we created using Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR). The corpus comes from India Office Records (IOR) R/15/1/199 File 5. Spanning the period from the 1890s to the early 1940s and composed of 977K words, it contains a variety of perspectives on manumission and slavery in the region from manumission requests to administrative documents relevant to colonial approaches to the institution of slavery. We use word2Vec with the WordVectors package in R to highlight how the method can uncover semantic relationships within historical texts, demonstrating some exploratory semantic queries, investigation of word analogies, and vector operations using the corpus content. We argue that advances in applied computer vision such as HTR are promising for historians working in colonial archives and that while our method is reproducible, there are still issues related to language representation and limitations of scale within smaller datasets. Even though HTR corpus creation is labor intensive, word vector analysis remains a powerful tool of computational analysis for corpora where HTR error is present.
wkl or hwkd: Reading the Legitimizing Title on the Sasanian King Walāsh Coin
Authors: Matloubkari Esmaeil 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This research aims at investigating the reading of the legend on the coin of the Sasanian king Walāsh. The short-lived reign of Walāsh has been distinguished from his predecessors by placing a special legend on his coins. Previously, this legend was read as hwkl (hukar); but some numismatists and historians have invalidated that reading and presented a new one, hwkd (hu-kay). This article seeks to investigate which reading is valid. The author claims, that based on numismatic data, inscriptions, historical texts, and national history, the title of hukar, meaning benefactor, has an ancient background in religious and historical traditions that make its choice superior.

Rhetorical Invention in the Handbook Traditional Energy Healing: The Methods of a Russian Healer
The aim of this article is to present one of the elements of the composition of rhetorical texts on the example of a handbook by Vadim Tschenze, also known as the Shaman from Uzbekistan: Tradycyjne uzdrawianie energią: Metody rosyjskiego uzdrowiciela [Traditional Energy Healing: The Methods of a Russian Healer]. The analysis proceeds from the assumption that the primary goal of Tschenze’s publication is to convince the readers to follow the advice it contains. In order to “extract” the primary, persuasive function of the handbook, the present study applies the tools provided by rhetoric, i.e. the rules of preference described by Aristotle in his Topics. The principles in question refer to everyday logic and create space for argumentation through topical proof. The analysis conducted indicates that invention, i.e. the ability to carefully read reality (“find” thoughts), constitutes an important, rich element of the publication under scrutiny. The author of the handbook uses many different topoi, such as topos from definition, from the cause, or from the consequence. The analysis also records frequent use of various examples.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest prezentacja jednego z elementów kompozycji tekstów retorycznych na przykładzie poradnika Vadima Tschenze zwanego też Szamanem z Uzbekistanu: Tradycyjne uzdrawianie energią. Metody rosyjskiego uzdrowiciela. Analizę oparto na założeniu, że podstawowym celem omawianej publikacji jest przekonanie czytelników do stosowania się do zawartych w niej rad. Aby wydobyć podstawową, perswazyjną funkcję poradnika, w niniejszym opracowaniu zastosowano narzędzia, jakie daje retoryka, tj. reguły preferencji opisane przez Arystotelesa w jego Topikach. Reguły, o których mowa, odwołują się do logiki dnia codziennego i stwarzają przestrzeń do argumentacji za pomocą toposów. Przeprowadzona analiza wskazuje, że inwencja, czyli umiejętność uważnego czytania rzeczywistości („odnajdywania” myśli) stanowi ważny, bogaty element omawianej publikacji. Autor poradnika posługuje się rozmaitymi toposami, takimi jak topos z definicji, z przyczyny czy ze skutku. Analiza odnotowuje również częste stosowanie różnych przykładów.
Perinatal psychiatric emergencies in rural Australia: In urgent need of attention
Authors: Cribb Emma , Spring Breeanna , Galbally Megan , Gardiner Fergus , Coleman Mathew 
Published: December 2024

Objectives: The burden of perinatal mental illness is a significant global concern, affecting approximately 10–20% of women at this stage of life. It is well recognised that Rural Australia has far less health services and mental health specialists per capita than metropolitan regions. While women have more babies in rural settings, their access to maternal health care is conversely limited or absent. We highlight the urgent need for research, adaptation of clinical practice guidelines and service development to address the lack of specialist perinatal mental health services for women in rural Australia for emergency episodes of mental ill health in the perinatal period. While telehealth services have been utilised to bridge the gap in service provision, in this paper we articulate the need for innovative research to identify suitable and sustainable models of care in rural settings. Conclusion: Perinatal psychiatric emergencies represent a highly interventional area of psychiatry. Across the spectrum of psychiatric disorders, few can be attributed with such specificity in anticipated time of disease onset and severity of outcome. It is imperative that we address the lack of access to speciality perinatal psychiatric care for women who reside in rural Australia.
India as a Developed Country in 2047: Risks and Challenges
Authors: Rao M. Govinda 
Published: December 2024

The fast-paced recovery after the sharp contraction seen during the pandemic has seen India reaching the pre-pandemic level. The international comparison shows India as the fastest-growing large economy and is expected to become the third-largest economy by 2030. Despite this, with per capita income at about $2,500, it is a low-middle-income country. From this, having seen the fast pace of growth, the Prime Minister has set an aspirational target of achieving the high-income status by the centenary year of independence, 2047, which requires a more than five-fold increase in per capita income at the current exchange rate. Equally important is the challenge of absorbing the addition to the labour force and absorbing those in the informal sectors in productive better-paying jobs. This article presents the nature of the challenge and the macroeconomic and structural reform needed to achieve them. JEL Codes: O2, O23, O53
Prevalence of Pre-Existing Subclinical Leg Lymphedema in Patients with Erysipelas
Authors: Merzel Šabović Eva Klara , Planinšek Ručigaj Tanja 
Published: December 2024

Background: Erysipelas is a common bacterial infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. In certain patients, the triggering factor can be identified, but in many cases, it remains elusive. Prior research indicates that pre-existing subclinical lymphedema in patients might serve as a triggering factor for the development of erysipelas. Objectives: We investigated the prevalence of subclinical lymphedema on the unaffected leg in patients with a recent history of erysipelas by performing lymphoscintigraphy of both legs. Methods: In a prospective study, 106 consecutive patients (mean age 53.4 years; 87/19: men/women) 3 to 6 months after erysipelas episode were included in the study. In all patients, lymphoscintigraphy was performed by subcutaneous injection of Tc-99m-labelled human albumin into both feet according to standard protocol. Results: Subclinical lymphedema on the unaffected leg was found in 82% of patients, with a similar prevalence in all genders and age groups, and in patients with or without erysipelas risk factors. Moreover, the prevalence of subclinical lymphedema increased proportionally with the number of erysipelas episodes: among those with a single episode, 74% exhibited subclinical lymphedema, whereas among those with 3 or more episodes, the prevalence was 100%. Conclusions: We found a high prevalence of subclinical lymphedema in the unaffected leg in erysipelas patients, indicating its frequent bilateral occurrence and its role as a primary trigger of erysipelas. Moreover, our study highlights subclinical lymphedema as a risk factor for erysipelas recurrences. Thus, our clinical recommendation suggests bilateral leg compression therapy in erysipelas patients to prevent recurrence and lymphedema exacerbation.
Imputation of Missing Continuous Glucose Monitor Data
Authors: Kuang Alan , Yu Yuanzhi , Siddique Juned , Scholtens Denise 
Published: December 2024

Background: Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) in research and clinical settings characterize glycemic profiles through repeated measurement of interstitial glucose levels on the order of minutes. Missing values from devices are unavoidable. Data from the Glycemic Observation and Metabolic Outcomes in Mothers and Offspring (GO MOMs) study were used to investigate the impact of missing data on CGM summary metrics. Several imputation techniques were evaluated by comparing mean relative bias (MRB) between true and imputed CGM data for the summary metrics. Methods: We used 105 CGM profiles with nine days of complete glucose measurements and introduced missing data strings using a zero-inflated negative binomial hurdle model. Overall missingness was introduced at 2% consistent with GO MOMs data and increased to 5%, 10%, and 20%. Imputation approaches included single, multiple, machine learning techniques, and hot-deck imputation, where missing values are replaced with the participant’s observed values. Removing missing values prior to analysis (complete case analysis) was also evaluated. Results: The MRB is minimal across most metrics and imputation methods at overall 2% missing data and increases with higher missing data frequency, with trends depending on metric and imputation method. Hot-deck imputation and complete case analysis show consistently low MRB. Conclusions: Missing CGM data are to be expected. For periods of wear with up to 20% missing data, hot-deck imputation and complete case analysis may be acceptable if data are missing completely at random. Explored imputation techniques are robust, but each has their own limitations, which should be considered if these techniques are implemented.

Published: December 2024

Objectives Recognizing the limited research and design guidelines for these essential health care settings, this study gathered pilot data on the design of outpatient rehabilitation therapy (RT) facilities as a foundation for future research. Background Providing RT is core to addressing health conditions that might otherwise lead to higher and more costly levels of medical intervention. The World Health Organization estimates that 2.4 billion people worldwide would benefit from RT; however, only half receive care. As a result, more space may be sought for ambulatory clinics and hospital-based settings that cater to both inpatients and outpatients. Methods Interviews ( n = 21) and questionnaires ( n = 43) involving RT patients and staff and RT facility designers were conducted with overlap between the interview and questionnaire participants. Both methods explored amenities and features of RT environments. Results Among the findings, there were several significant differences regarding the importance and effectiveness (presence) of specific environmental elements. Additionally, there were some significant differences among patients, staff, and designers in terms of their perceptions of importance and effectiveness. Conclusion Eight potential design guidelines are suggested, rather than recommended, as of yet. They are topics for future research and include the provision of an appropriate balance of private and shared spaces, acoustical treatment of open therapy areas, efficient and restorative staff areas, outdoor spaces, window views and daylight, flexible lighting, and appropriate furniture and wall coverings.
Intracranial carotid arteriosclerosis and their prognosis in intracerebral hemorrhage
Authors: Lee Bo-Ching , Tsai Hsin-Hsi , Chen Ya-Fang , Jeng Jiann-Shing , Tsai Li-Kai 
Published: December 2024

Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a manifestations of sporadic cerebral small vessel disease, and the survivors are predisposed to higher long-term risks of vascular events. Intracranial carotid artery calcification (ICAC), a potential marker for arteriosclerosis, is a risk factor for stroke but their roles in ICH is unknown. We aimed to investigate the prevalence and morphological subtypes of ICAC and their associations with long-term vascular events in ICH survivors. Materials and methods: Survivors of spontaneous ICH treated at a single center in Taiwan were included. ICAC was assessed by non-contrast CT; morphology was evaluated and categorized as intimal, internal elastic lamina (IEL), or mixed subtype. Patients were followed up for two years. Associations between calcification subtypes and follow-up events (stroke, cardiovascular event, death) were explored using multivariable Cox regression models. Results: Overall, 462 (80.1%) survivors of ICH had ICAC—223 (38.6%) were categorized as IEL calcification, 216 (37.4%) as intimal calcification, and 23 (4.0%) as mixed type calcification—and 115 patients (19.9%) had no calcification. Patients with IEL calcification were older than patients with intimal or no calcification ( p < 0.001). Age ( p < 0.001), diabetes ( p = 0.010), and reduced renal function ( p = 0.001) were independently associated with IEL calcification. During 2-years of follow-up, IEL calcification was not associated with a significant difference in the risk of recurrent ICH (HR=2.8 [0.8‒9.7]), but was associated with higher risks of incident ischemic stroke (HR = 9.0 [1.0‒77.4]), vascular mortality (HR = 13.6 [1.7‒1772.4], and all-cause mortality (HR = 13.9 [1.8‒105.8]). Conclusions: ICAC is common among ICH survivors and the subtype of IEL calcification may potentially have prognostic value for long-term vascular events.
The 45 Most Cited Publications in Total Ankle Arthroplasty Revisions: A Bibliometric Analysis
Authors: Jimenez Mosquea Thelma R. , Flynn Grace , Ubillus Hugo A. , Walls Raymond J. 
Published: December 2024

Category: Ankle Arthritis; Ankle Introduction/Purpose: The understanding of total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) and optimal surgical management of end-stage ankle arthritis has significantly expanded over the last decade, evidenced by the increasing number of primary TAA surgeries being revised. Characterizing the most influential studies in total ankle replacement revision surgeries can clarify controversies regarding complications, identify core literature, and further collective knowledge for educational purposes. We conducted a comprehensive bibliometric analysis regarding revision total ankle arthroplasty to evaluate the significance and influence of these online sources. Methods: Using the search terms 'revision' AND 'total ankle replacement' OR 'TAR' OR 'total ankle arthroplasty,' we systematically searched through the top 45 most cited articles in The Science Citation Index Expanded subsection of the Web of Science Core Collection. Publication and study characteristics were extracted and reported using descriptive statistics for the total number of citations, citation rate, publication year, journal, implant type, and level of evidence. Spearman correlations were calculated to assess the relationship between citation data and the level of evidence. Results: 728 results were yielded from our initial search. 45 articles were published between 2004 and 2024, with 20% published in 2020. The top 45 cited papers had a mean of 11.35 citations (range: 0 to 68 citations), and the citation rate was 4.18 ± 7.6 citations per year. These articles were published across 16 different journals, mentioning 24 different implant types. The top three most frequently referenced implants were Agility (13 citations), STAR (13 citations), and Hintegra (12 citations). Most studies were level of evidence III (33, 73.3%), with the remaining articles classified as level of evidence IV. A significant positive correlation was found between the year of publication and citation rate (r=0.38, p=0.009). Conclusion: This study provides a current landscape of the most cited articles in TAA revision surgeries. With the increase in these procedures over the past two decades, this study serves as the first historical landmark in the literature and a launching point for future research. As TAA becomes a more common option for end-stage arthritis, we anticipate a corresponding increase in revisions. Therefore, bibliometric analyses will play an important role for surgeons and future researchers in identifying foundational papers and research trends regarding this emerging procedure.
