Published: April 2021

Background:
Reported rates of acute kidney injury (AKI) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement in small observational studies vary widely.

Methods:
Patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement in the United States between January 1, 2016 and June 30, 2018, were included. Patients without reported baseline or peak creatinine values and those who were previously on hemodialysis were excluded. AKI was defined using AKI Network criteria from stages 0 to 3. Logistic regression was used to assess patient and clinical factors associated with incident in-hospital AKI. Among patients with available data from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services administrative files, we compared 1-year mortality among patients with and without AKI.

Results:

Of 107 814 study patients, 11 566 (10.7%) experienced postprocedural AKI. Among patients who developed AKI, 10 220 (9.5%) experienced stage 1 AKI, 134 (0.1%) stage 2 AKI, and 1212 (1.1%) stage 3 AKI. Race, baseline comorbidities, clinical presentation, and procedural factors were associated with the development of stage 3 AKI. In Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services–linked analyses of 62 757 (58.2%) patients, those with AKI had higher adjusted hazard ratio for mortality at 1 year compared with patients who did not experience AKI (stage 1 AKI: adjusted hazard ratio, 2.7 [95% CI, 2.5–2.8],
P
<0.001; stage 2 AKI: adjusted hazard ratio, 10.4 [95% CI, 7.0–15.4],
P
<0.001; stage 3 AKI: adjusted hazard ratio, 7.0 [95% CI, 6.0–8.2],
P
<0.001).

Conclusions:
Using data from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons/American College of Cardiology National Cardiovascular Data Registry Transcatheter Valve Therapy Registry registry, we found that AKI is common after transcatheter aortic valve replacement, with over 10% of patients developing postprocedure AKI. Patients who developed stage 3 AKI had 7× higher adjusted 1-year mortality compared with patients who did not develop AKI.
Autonomic Imbalance and Risk of Dementia and Stroke: The Framingham Study
Authors: Weinstein Galit , Davis-Plourde Kendra , Beiser Alexa S. , Seshadri Sudha 
Published: April 2021

Background and Purpose:
The autonomic nervous system has been implicated in stroke and dementia pathophysiology. High resting heart rate and low heart rate variability indicate the effect of autonomic imbalance on the heart. We examined the associations of resting heart rate and heart rate variability with incident stroke and dementia in a community-based cohort of middle- and old-aged adults.

Methods:
The study sample included 1581 participants aged >60 years and 3271 participants aged >45 years evaluated for incident dementia and stroke, respectively, who participated in the Framingham Offspring cohort third (1983–1987) examination and had follow-up for neurology events after the seventh (1998–2001) examination. Heart rate variability was assessed through the standard deviation (SD) of normal-to-normal RR intervals and the root mean square of successive differences between normal heartbeats from 2-hour Holter monitor. Participants were followed-up for stroke and dementia incidence from exam 7 to a maximum of 10 years. Cox regression models were used to assess the link of resting heart rate and heart rate variability with stroke and dementia risk while adjusting for potential confounders, and interactions with age and sex were assessed.

Results:

Of the dementia (mean age, 55±6 years, 46% men) and stroke (mean age, 48±9 years, 46% men) samples, 133 and 127 developed dementia and stroke, respectively, during the follow-up. Overall, autonomic imbalance was not associated with dementia risk. However, age modified the associations such that SD of normal-to-normal intervals and root mean square of successive differences were associated with dementia risk in older people (hazard ratio [HR] [95% CI] per 1SD, 0.61 [0.38–0.99] and HR [95% CI] per 1SD, 0.34 [0.15–0.74], respectively). High resting heart rate was associated with increased stroke risk (HR [95% CI] per 10 bpm, 1.18 [1.01–1.39]), and high SD of normal-to-normal intervals was associated with lower stroke risk in men (HR [95% CI] per 1SD, 0.46 [0.26–0.79]) but not women (HR [95% CI] per 1SD, 1.25 [0.88–1.79];
P
for interaction=0.003).

Conclusions:
Some measures of cardiac autonomic imbalance may precede dementia and stroke occurrence, particularly in older ages and men, respectively.
Variation in reproductive traits of the river prawn, Macrobrachium nipponense (De Haan, 1849) (Caridea, Palaemonidae) among different sites in southern Taiwan
Authors: Tew Kwee Siong , Chen Hsin-Ling , Han Chiao-Chuan 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
Previous studies have revealed that reproductive traits of the Oriental river prawn Macrobrachium nipponense (De Haan, 1849) (Palaemonidae) can differ markedly across populations, though the environmental factors responsible for such variation are unknown. We therefore conducted monthly surveys of these prawns to determine their reproductive traits over two years at four study sites in southern Taiwan. The temperature, dissolved oxygen concentration, conductivity, and turbidity in Long Luan Lake significantly differed from the other sites, yet levels of reproductive trait parameters were intermediate among all. The aforementioned environmental factors were similar between the two Sihchong River sites and Mudan Reservoir, yet the river populations had the highest values in all reproductive traits. The river’s substratum was comprised of >60% of cobbles and boulders, whereas <5% of the substratum of the reservoir and lake consisted of such rocks. We therefore suggest that this difference in substrate composition may be linked to the significant differences in reproductive traits observed.
A new thermosbaenacean of the genus Tethysbaena (Peracarida, Thermosbaenacea, Monodellidae) from Socotra Island, Yemen
Authors: Wagner H. P. , Van Damme K. 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
A new species of the thermosbaenacean genus Tethysbaena Wagner, 1994 (Crustacea: Peracarida: Thermosbaenacea) is described based on females from a freshwater cave lake and a brackish coastal well on Socotra Island (Yemen) as Tethysbaena dioscorida n. sp. It is the first representative of the Thermosbaenacea that is described from the Socotra Archipelago and the first member of the order known from an Indian Ocean island. The new species is the eighth known member of what is considered the “Tethysbaena relicta” species-group, which is known from Oman (four species), Somalia (one species), Israel (two species) and now Socotra Island (one species). The new species shows closest morphological affinities with T. barbatula Wagner, 2020 from Oman. We suggest that the speciation in this well-defined species-group is due to regressions of the Tethys Sea and the appearance of dry land since the Oligocene-Miocene boundary to the present time, forming major barriers and creating isolated populations of the ancestral species. Also the potential biocrisis in Socotra as a result of developmental activities during the last decades is mentioned, which may affect the subterranean faunas in particular in coastal areas, exemplified by the destruction of one of only two localities where the new species was found.
Situation-Oriented Designation of the International Criminal Court’s Jurisdiction by Non-Member States
Authors: Zakerhossein Mohammad Hadi 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
Rule 44 of the icc Rules of Procedure and Evidence stipulates that non-state parties to the Rome Statute may accept the jurisdiction of the Court with respect to the crimes referred to in Article 5 of relevance to the situation by lodging a declaration under Article 12(3) of the Statute. The ending phrase of this provision gives rise to the speculation that a non-member state has a power to accept the Court’s jurisdiction in a partial way, namely over a specific situation. To examine this feasibility, the present article will: (i) explain the functions of the Article 12(3) mechanism; (ii) discuss the possibility of making a situational acceptance; and (iii) contemplate the meaning of the concept of situation. This article suggests that a non-state party can exclusively accept the Court’s jurisdiction over a specific situation, and that is a concrete crisis within a territory.

The Adoption and Use of the Word ἘΚΚΛΗΣΊΑ in the Early Christ-Movement
Authors: Esler Philip F. 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
This article engages with two recent monographs and three shorter publications to offer a fresh approach to the origin and some aspects of the use of the word ἐκκλησία in the Christ-movement of the first century ce. It argues that the word was first used as a collective designation by mixed groups of Greek-speaking Judean and non-Judean Christ-followers who were persecuted by Paul. Their intimate table-fellowship (especially of the one loaf and one cup of the Lord’s Supper) was regarded as involving or risking idolatry and thus imperilling the ethnic integrity of the Judean people. These Christ-followers adopted the word ἐκκλησία from instances in the Septuagint where it meant not ‘assembly’ but ‘multitude’ or ‘group’, most importantly of all in 1 Sam. 19.20. As Paul founded new communities in the cities of the Eastern Mediterranean that were recognisably similar to Greco-Roman voluntary associations, the word acquired new connotations that reverberated with the role of ἐκκλησίαι as civic voting assemblies in the Greek cities. Paul’s groups were not anti-Roman, nor did he believe that the Christ-movement would replace ethnic Israel, but rather that the two would co-exist until the End. The Pauline view on this matter finds theological endorsement in a 2015 document from the Vatican’s Commission for Religious Relations with Jews.
The Book of Ezekiel: A Help or a Hindrance for Environmental Ethics?
Authors: Lyons Michael A. 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
In this essay, I examine how the book of Ezekiel has been employed or criticized as a resource for environmental ethics, and I explore the hermeneutical strategies behind these efforts. To do this, I make use of David Horrell’s critique and taxonomy of how the Bible has been used to inform attitudes about the environment. I conclude by arguing that while the book of Ezekiel is not as ecologically dangerous as some readers have claimed, neither can it function on its own as a useful tool for constructing an environmental ethic. However, reading Ezekiel as part of a metanarrative generated by a larger scriptural corpus may render its imagery useful as a resource.
“… as the young girl told them so”
Authors: Cindrea-Nagy Iuliana 
Published: April 2021

AbstractThis article explores the role of women and young girls in Old Calendarist communities in Romania and presents new sources relating to neglected history of the practice of incarceration in Orthodox monasteries in the region. The community developed into a spiritual mass movement that soon became the target of the secret police. Women played an important role within these communities in terms of membership but also in relation to the preservation of Old Calendarist ideas. Explored through the prism of the former secret police archival documents, these women were deemed dangerous and were accused of luring people into the Old Calendarist groups. In contrast to the extremely negative representation of these women that we find in contemporary Orthodox Church publications, police reports and popular press articles, the letters and postcards that they wrote from detention offer us an insight into the private life, personality and motivation of these women.
Une approche internationale de l’histoire de Rouen par Jochen Hoock
Authors: Marec Yannick 
Published: April 2021

Résumé
En prologue de cet article, nous rappelons les circonstances qui ont amené Jochen Hoock à contribuer à une nouvelle Histoire de Rouen. Il vise aussi à caractériser la spécificité de son approche par rapport à celle développée par Jean-Pierre Bardet dans la précédente Histoire de Rouen. Puis est envisagé, en deux temps, l’apport principal de l’auteur. Durant la première moitié du XVIIe siècle Rouen apparaît comme une grande ville marchande sous tension du fait notamment des guerres européennes. Les années 1650-1700 sont marquées par des difficultés économiques liées à l’exacerbation des tensions religieuses avant que le commerce colonial et international serve d’appui à l’expansion industrielle des années 1680-1740. En conclusion, la démarche de Jochen Hoock paraît essentielle en ce qui concerne l’articulation entre commerce et industrie et aussi entre différents niveaux d’analyse, du local à l’international et au global.
De la protraction en maya?
Authors: Hoppan Jean-Michel , Schwer Sylviane 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
Overcounting is a neologism which was proposed in the late XXth century to define « the operation that designates a number by its orientation towards a boundary ». With a few examples taken from Asiatic languages, Mayan numerations from Central America are generally given as representative of this uncommon type of linguistic operation to build words for numbers.
However, our analysis of the operative pattern in this kind of Mayan numeration (which has cohabited for many centuries with a more simply additive type of number construction) as well as the analysis of the data from pre-hispanic times and the colonial period brought us to question this definition, at least for Mayan languages. Our study indeed shows that the so-called “overcounting” system in Mayan numerations, if it was definitely present there a long time before the Europeans, was strongly associated to an aspect of the comput that sets to work an “encapsulation” of the vigesimal scores and where a number is actually not designated for its orientation towards the higher boundary but where the aim is to process in a non-linear way following an “encapsulation of the numerical knots” and looking for a retrograde anteriority.
Numération et repérage temporel en inuktitut du Nunavik
Authors: Mahieu Marc-Antoine 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
Although the Inuit numeration system has no structural limits, its actual use is limited to concrete situations where the quantities involved are small. In Inuktitut (Inuit dialects of the Canadian Eastern Arctic), this system has traditionally had very little use in measuring the passage of time. As a result of contact with Westerners, the situation has partially changed, as shown by the expression of the days of the week and the time of the day. This article presents the essential data relevant to the dialect of Nunavik (Arctic Quebec).
Justice Seeking is Joy Seeking: The Formation of Faith-Informed, Community-Focused, Critical Consciousness in Adolescents
Authors: Hooker David Anderson , Corrie Elizabeth W. , Toure Itihari 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
Seeking justice, understanding what makes for peace and pursuing it, these are integral aspects of the pursuit of the Good Life. In this chapter three youth and community development experts make the case that 1) a vital aspect of development is empowering adolescents with a faith-informed, community-focused, critical consciousness; 2) young people are formed in community and joy cannot be fully experienced except communally and in the pursuit of JustPeace; and 3) the church has opportunities to intervene at critical junctures in youth formation to help them see the importance of pursuing communal JustPeace for their own ability to live the Good Life. In support of these claims, a framework of radical Identity is postulated and two practices—the Eight Bowls of Life Ceremony for generational identity marking and the Game of Life, part of a three-week intentional community of the Youth Theological Initiative (yti) – are presented. Each practice contributes to formation of justice-seeking identities in adolescents as integral aspects of preparation for the life-long pursuit of God’s joy, God’s good life, and even God’s salvation.
Shared Emotions and the Body
Authors: Thonhauser Gerhard 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
According to individualism about feelings, only individuals can experience feelings, because only individuals live under the condition of embodiment. Assuming a necessary link between emotions and feelings thus seems to justify doubt about the possibility of shared emotions. I challenge this line of argumentation by showing that feelings are best understood as enactments of a feeling body, which is a psycho-physically neutral expressive unity. Based on the body’s embeddedness into a world and connectedness with others, feelings are perceivable and shareable. Accordingly, dynamics of mutual incorporation and interaffectivity are shown to be the ground for shared feelings.

Representation of Tropical Mesoscale Convective Systems in a General Circulation Model: Climatology and Response to Global Warming
Authors: Dong Wenhao , Zhao Ming , Ming Yi , Ramaswamy V. 
Published: April 2021

AbstractThe characteristics of tropical mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) simulated with a finer-resolution (~50-km) version of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) AM4 model are evaluated by comparing with a comprehensive long-term observational dataset. It is shown that the model can capture the various aspects of MCSs reasonably well. The simulated spatial distribution of MCSs is broadly in agreement with the observations. This is also true for seasonality and interannual variability over different land and oceanic regions. The simulated MCSs are generally longer-lived, weaker and larger than observed. Despite these biases, an event-scale analysis suggests that their duration, intensity and size are strongly correlated. Specifically, longer-lived and stronger events tend to be bigger, which is consistent with the observations. The same model is used to investigate the response of tropical MCSs to global warming using time-slice simulations forced by prescribed sea surface temperatures (SST) and sea-ice. There is an overall decrease in occurrence frequency, and the reduction over land is more prominent than over ocean.
