An Analysis of the Codicological Features of the Qumran Cave 11Q Manuscripts
Authors: Naidu Abigail 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This article presents analysis and discussion of the codicological features of the scrolls from Cave 11Q. Through a focus on the dimensions and layout of the manuscripts, I ask whether there are noticeable patterns or recurring features which characterise them collectively. I observe that a majority of the preserved scrolls are taller than average and bear long compositions, indicating a well-funded group of scrolls and possibly reflecting an increase in the production of taller scrolls in the Herodian period. I also identify shared characteristics among discrete groups of scrolls from Cave 11Q, which may speak to the practices of schools of professional scribes. Despite these trends and shared characteristics, this study also demonstrates considerable diversity in the codicological features of the Cave 11Q scrolls.
The (Beard-) Veil Also Matters on Facebook

Published: November 2024

Abstract
This article discusses how the publishing of Syrian women’s photos on Facebook provokes controversy in Syrian Facebook communities, in the context of ongoing violent political upheaval. After the Arab uprising reached Syria in March 2011, Syrian men and women have been using Facebook extensively to fight for their rights. Yet, the photo of a young dead Syrian woman activist caused a heated debate on Facebook, because she was not wearing a veil. We argue that while gender inequalities, which are prevalent in Syrian society seemingly persist in cyberspace, we are in fact witnessing the emergence of what we call a “limping” mobile society. In this mobile society, authoritative notions of womanhood are challenged, whereas dominant understandings of manhood barely change. In explaining this, this article contributes to scholarly debates in the fields of gender and power in conflict and post-conflict societies as well as social media and gender equality studies.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Even if the sacred is a classical concept in religious studies and sociology, relatively little is known of its current empirical subjective varieties. This article explores what people today consider sacred at the intersection of religion and nonreligion. Our data (N=6938) was collected with face-to-face interviews (N=1965) and from an internet panel (N=4313) in Finland. We present both an overall picture on what people consider sacred and the results of exploring the effect of religiousness, political stance, and social structural positions. Respondents of both moderately religious and nonreligious groups tend to hold health, love, and close ones sacred. Our findings challenge a linear, dualistic view of religious versus nonreligious and show that sacred exceeds religious boundaries and is experienced by religious and nonreligious people alike, but in various ways. The concept of sacred can be used to detect the inner diversity of both religious and nonreligious identities.

Published: November 2024

Objectives: Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) is a treatment option for patients with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea. In the post-implant period, awake endoscopy with advanced programming (AEAP) can be employed to improve apnea hypopnea index (AHI) reduction and/or patient comfort. This study describes response patterns to HNS after AEAP as well as patient-specific patterns in our patient population. Methods: Retrospective evaluation of 17 consecutive patients who underwent AEAP between June 2019 and December 2022. Post-AEAP AHIs were used to create 2 response groups, which facilitated analysis of patient-based characteristics. AHI reporting, deemed non-titration AHI (NT-AHI), is the whole-night AHI resulting from non-titration studies. Chi-squared, Pearson correlation coefficient, and independent samples t-test were used to determine significance deemed as P < .05 Results: Fifteen of 17 patients (88.2%) presented for failed NT-AHI reduction, and 2/17 (11.8%) presented for comfort measures. Eleven patients (65%) showed an improvement in post-AEAP NT-AHI; 6 (35%) patients failed to improve. Four patients with either lateral wall collapse or concentric wall collapse at the tongue base failed to improve NT-AHI compared to a single patient who showed an improved NT-AHI ( P = .017). Of the 2 patients who presented with discomfort, patient 1/2 demonstrated improvement in device usage, and patient 2/2 reported improved comfort while maintaining average device usage. Conclusion: AEAP is a powerful tool that offers the ability to identify settings conducive to increased therapy efficacy and improved treatment tolerability. Airway phenotypes are closely correlated with treatment efficacy, and as such, careful anatomical consideration of the upper airway must be performed when titrating therapy. Lay Summary: Amongst the different treatment options for obstructive sleep apnea, hypoglossal nerve stimulation has been shown to be effective in positive-airway-pressure intolerant patients. This article explores response patterns to AEAP and highlights the importance of careful anatomical considerations of the upper airway. Level of Evidence: Level 3.
Numerical model of curved composite tiles under low-velocity impact loading

Published: November 2024

In recent years, composite structures have seen widespread application across diverse industries, including automotive and aerospace, owing to their favourable strength-to-weight ratio. However, these structures, particularly high-pressure vessels, are susceptible to extreme loadings such as impact forces, resulting in visible and latent damage, ultimately leading to catastrophic failures. Hence, it is imperative to assess such damages diligently. Given the cost implications associated with experimental investigations, numerical methodologies emerge as a potent means for conducting relevant analyses. This paper will introduce a numerical model approach to conducting virtual tests to assess curved carbon fibre composite tiles subjected to low-velocity impact. The primary focus of this study is to consider the impact-induced delamination on composite tiles through a numerical model. The composite tiles are conducted to 90J impact loading. Specifically, the study evaluates filament winding structures’ interface properties (shear resistance) variability during manufacturing. Notably, the parameter of shear resistance significantly impacts the anticipation of intralaminar damage (delamination) after impact loading. Three-point bending tests were performed to calibrate the composite material’s shear interface properties, followed by low-velocity impact tests on the curved composite tiles. The findings indicate that the shear resistance values, which ranged from 14.25 MPa to 60 MPa, play a critical role in predicting delamination, with lower shear resistance leading to increased damage areas. The results underscore the importance of accurately calibrating interface properties to enhance the predictive accuracy of numerical models for curved composite structures under impact loading.
Self-esteem and social interactions in daily life: An experience sampling study
Authors: Enting Manon , Jongerling Joran , Reitz Anne Kristin 
Published: November 2024

Theory and empirical evidence suggest that self-esteem and the quality of social relationships are mutually related, however, little is known about the dynamic short-term association in daily life. Experience sampling data of 232 Dutch Master’s students ( M age = 24.6, SD age = 2.7) was collected across four waves; each consisting of 14 days of four daily assessments (23,107 data points). We applied Dynamic Structural Equation Modeling to study the within-day associations between momentary self-esteem (assessed in the morning and evening) and social interactions (anticipated and experienced). First, results showed that quality of social interactions during the day was associated with evening, but not morning self-esteem. Second, positive anticipation of social interactions was associated with morning, but not with evening self-esteem. Third, trait self-esteem did not moderate the within-day associations. Together, results suggest that when having higher self-esteem, people anticipate more positive social interactions at the same time, but they do not experience more positive social interactions later on. Having but not anticipating more positive social interactions seems to contribute to higher self-esteem later on. Differentiating between anticipated and experienced interactions and using multiple daily assessments helps obtain a more fine-grained understanding of the dynamic processes between self-esteem and social interactions.

Published: November 2024

Background Purpurin are naturally occurring anthraquinones derived from the roots of Rubia species. Purpurin is a red-colored bioactive compound commonly used as a food colorant. In ancient times, Rubia species plants were used in Chinese medicine to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Research studies have proven purpurin exerts antimicrobial, neuromodulatory, antigenotoxic, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antioxidant effects. The present investigation was proposed to evaluate the efficacy of purpurin against myocardial infarction in rats. Materials and Methods Purpurin was pretreated in healthy adult male rats and subjected to a myocardial infarction with isoproterenol to assess the cardioprotective effect of purpurin. CRP, total protein, and uric acid levels were quantified to analyze the efficacy against myocardial infarction. Cardiac functional markers and antioxidant levels were measured to evaluate the role of purpurin on isoproterenol-induced myocardial infarction. Further to prove the cardioprotective efficacy of purpurin cardiac tissue ATPases and electrolytes were assessed in the experimental animals. The anti-inflammatory property of purpurin was analyzed by quantifying proinflammatory cytokines. Histopathological analysis of cardiac tissue was to confirm the protective effect of purpurin against isoproterenol-induced myocardial infarction. Results The present investigation demonstrated the significant protective effect of purpurin by decreasing the levels of CRP, uric acid levels, and total protein levels in myocardial infarction-induced rats. It restored the cardiac functional markers and glutathione system in the cardiac tissue of myocardial infarction-induced rats. It increased the levels of cardiac ATPases and reinstated the electrolytes in the cardiac tissue of myocardial infarction-induced rats. Purpurin significantly demonstrated an anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective effect that was evidenced with histopathological analysis. Conclusion Our findings prove purpurin suppresses the proinflammatory response of isoproterenol treatment and exerts a cardioprotective effect in myocardial infarction-induced rats.

Objective To evaluate whether having a cleft palate with or without cleft lip (CP ± L) influences the performance of a child on a wind instrument. Design Cross-sectional. Setting This study was conducted at Asociación San Lucas (Peru), which has a multidisciplinary care program for children with CP ± L. Free recorder lessons are offered to all patients aged 6–8 years. After that, the children can switch to flute, clarinet, violin, viola, or cello. For a fee, children without CP ± L can also participate in the music program. Participants All children with and without CP ± L who were participating in the music program and were able to play the recorder, flute, or clarinet (N = 43). Main Outcome Measures Quantitative and qualitative performance exercises: maximum blowing duration, highest note, lowest note, diminuendo, crescendo, and sound quality. Results No significant differences in performance were found between children with and without CP ± L. Older children and children with more experience on their instrument demonstrated a significantly longer blowing duration and better sound quality. Within the CP ± L group, those with a satisfactory surgery result had a significantly longer blowing duration than those with a partly satisfactory result (eg, presence of a fistula, palatal surgery revisions, or (need of) pharingoplasty). Furthermore, children with bilateral cleft lip and palate performed diminuendo significantly less smoothly than those with the unilateral type. Conclusion Children with and without CP ± L demonstrated equally good performances on the recorder, flute, and clarinet. Therefore, families and caregivers should not discourage children with CP ± L from learning to play these wind instruments.

Published: November 2024

Introduction: Evidence-informed practice (EIP) is a widely accepted approach to providing rehabilitation services, however there are barriers to implementation. Bright Ideas is an innovative program developed by KidsAbility’s Rocket Discovery Centre, aiming enhance uptake of EIP through incubating ideas identified by KidsAbility staff linked to organizational priorities of enhancing service access and outcomes. Objectives: To evaluate Bright Ideas by identifying perceived successes and challenges associated with the program with the aim of supporting clinical innovation and the adoption of evidence-informed practices in children’s rehabilitation centres. Methods: A developmental evaluation approach was utilized to complete a real-time evaluation of Bright Ideas. Bright Ideas program materials were reviewed to describe the program. A focus group and interview were conducted with staff who led Bright Ideas projects ( n = 7) to gain insight into their experiences. Additionally, interviews were conducted with the program coordinators ( n = 2) to understand the evolution of the program. Data was analysed using qualitative content analysis. Results: Successes that drive the Bright Ideas program and roadblocks it has encountered were identified across three dimensions: the personal level (involving Bright Ideas project leads), the programmatic level (focusing on the Bright Ideas program), and the organizational level (pertaining to KidsAbility as a whole). Key roadblocks included a lack of knowledge about the program organizationally, restricted time resources, competing organizational priorities, and an absence of infrastructure to scale ideas from Bright Ideas into the organization. Conclusions: Bright Ideas is an innovative program aiming to make impactful change by enabling staff to lead implementation-driven projects. Our findings highlight many successes of the program and use the Theoretical Domains Framework and Behaviour Change Wheel to make recommendations to support its sustained implementation at KidsAbility.

Published: November 2024

Background: Antiadhesion products are essential for postoperative care in patients after thyroidectomy by providing a physical barrier to cover the exposed tissue and thus preventing abnormal adhesion of adjacent tissues. Since thyroidectomy may result in swallowing difficulties arising from damage or inflammation of the surrounding tissues, the use of antiadhesion agents such as MegaShield® or Guardix-SG® will help reduce scar formation. This may thus improve postoperative swallowing function in patients. Methods: Patients were enrolled and followed up between October 4, 2018, and March 26, 2020. Patients during the postoperative follow-up sessions were randomly allocated to the standard care with Guardix-SG® and clinical trial medical device application group with MegaShield® (test group) in a 1:1 ratio by the permuted block randomization method. Patient performance on penetration aspiration scale (PAS), National Institutes of Health-Swallow Safety Scale (NIH-SSS), videofluoroscopic dysphagia scale (VDS), Dynamic Imaging Grade of Swallowing Toxicity (DIGEST) based on Videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) were collected. Nonadhesion-reducing agent patient data were used as a control group. Results: No statistical significance was shown ( P > .05) between the 2 groups of MegaShield® and Guardix-SG® in various phases from thick semisolid, thin semisolid to liquid for both PAS and NIH-SSS. Several statistical significances were reported in the results comparing various criteria of PAS, NIH-SSS, VDS at different oral and pharyngeal phases, and DIGEST in all 3 stages among MegaShield®, Guardix-SG®, and nonadhesion-reducing agent group. Conclusions: These results prove the noninferiority of MegaShield® compared with Guardix-SG® as an antiadhesion agent in postthyroidectomy care.

Published: November 2024

Objective: Extensive research has focused on the evaluation of rupture risks in abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) through comprehensive morphologic and hemodynamic analyses, primarily considering the AAA as a whole entity. This study tried to identify the high-risk rupture sites of AAAs more precisely before the fatal process based on morphologic and hemodynamic analyses at the local segment. Methods: Computed tomography angiography of a specific AAA patient was conducted at the follow-up 4 months before rupture, 1 day before rupture, the day of the rupture, and 15 days after endovascular aortic repair. The evolution of local morphology and the hemodynamic characteristics at these critical timepoints were investigated based on patient-specific reconstructions and computational fluid dynamics. Results: The morphologic and hemodynamic parameters of the rupture region vary continuously in the process of AAA development and rupture. The surface area and volume of the rupture segment were gradually enlarged at the follow-up 4 months before rupture (47.33 cm2; 67.35 mL), 1 day before rupture (57.23 cm2; 85.24 mL), and on the day of the rupture (62.41cm2; 104.73ml). A prominent decrease in time-averaged wall shear stress and velocity for the rupture segment is observed. The percentages of the lowest time-averaged wall shear stress (<0.1 Pa) area are increased in the AAA region (20.42%, 33.85%, and 53.00%, separately). Conclusions: The results based on precisely rebuilt geometries for the complete follow-ups of patient-specific computed tomography angiography demonstrate that notable morphologic and hemodynamic evolutions have occurred in the local segment of the AAA, which was further proved at the rupture site. The significant changes occurring at the local segment may provide valuable information for the evaluation of aneurysm rupture risk and locate the most probable site of rupture. Clinical Impact Capturing the entire process of AAA rupture through CTA imaging is a rare occurrence in clinical practice. The evolution of morphology and hemodynamic characteristics observed in the illustrated results provides valuable insights for clinicians to monitor the state of AAA from a different perspective. These findings suggest that variations in morphology and hemodynamics within the local segment of the AAA might serve as an alternative approach for predicting the rupture risk of AAA.

Published: November 2024

Background: The “supercharge” end-to-side (SETS) anterior-interosseous-nerve (AIN) to ulnar-motor nerve transfer is used to improve intrinsic muscle recovery in cases of severe ulnar nerve compression or proximal axonotmetic injuries. Previous work has found differing intrinsic muscle recovery after this transfer. The objectives of this study were to examine the patterns of recovery in first dorsal interossei (FDI) and abductor digiti minimi (ADM) and the impact of AIN transfer to a specific fascicular location on the ulnar-motor nerve. Methods: A retrospective review of one fellowship-trained surgeon’s consecutive patients at a single center from December 2019 to September 2021 was conducted. Patients who had an AIN to ulnar-motor nerve transfer for any indication were included and were excluded if they had less than 9 months follow-up. Results: Seventeen patients were included (88% male, mean age 55 ± 14 years). At early follow-up, compound muscle action potential amplitudes for ADM and FDI did not increase. Compound muscle action potential amplitude for ADM significantly increased at late follow-up ( P < .01). Average British Medical Research Council (BMRC) strength increased at early follow-up for FDI ( P < .05), but not ADM. The proportion of patients with BMRC ≥ 3 increased for FDI ( P < .01) and ADM ( P < .05) at late follow-up. Volar-ulnar AIN insertion position did not have a clear effect on outcomes. Conclusions: The SETS AIN to ulnar-motor nerve transfer demonstrates clinical and electrophysiologic evidence of intrinsic muscle recovery and reinnervation, with differing recovery of outcomes. The role of specific fascicular targeting is still unclear and required further examination as does the mechanism behind differing intrinsic recovering.
