This poem is the result of an activity carried out on November 20, 2023. It is an excerpt from my anti-racist practices and the daily confrontations of an anti-racist educator teaching Afro-Latin American literature at the Federal University of Sergipe. The methodology used was based on critical listening to undergraduate students in the sixth period of Spanish-American literature IV, who were supposed to watch videos with Afro-centered songs and poems such as: Rincon Sapiência, Victoria Santa Cruz, Shirley Campbell Barr and Elza Soares to discuss November 20th as a date to value struggles and achievements to effectively celebrate Black Consciousness Day. The episode on screen was a discursive disaster, since a racist student did not do what was agreed and required by the teacher and brought a report from a Brazilian actress who discussed her late process of understanding herself as a black woman. From this episode of structural racism. We changed the course plan of the subject and included readings such as Cida Bento, the narcissistic pact of Whiteness, colorism by Alessandra Devulsky and others.
Word Repetition and Isolation are Intertwined in Children’s Early Language Experiences
Authors: Nencheva Mira L. , Schwab Jessica F. , Lew-Williams Casey , Fausey Caitlin M. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Infants experience language in the context of a dynamic environment in which many cues co-occur. However, experimenters often reduce language input to individual cues a priori without considering how children themselves may experience incoming information, leading to potentially inaccurate conclusions about how learning works outside of the lab. Here, we examined the shared temporal dynamics of two historically separated cues that are thought to support word learning: repetition of the same word in nearby utterances, and isolation of individual word tokens (i.e., single-word utterances). In a large database of North American English, we found that word repetition and isolation frequently co-occurred in children’s natural language experiences, and the extent to which they did so was linked to words’ earlier age of acquisition. This investigation emphasizes children’s experiences in time as a way to understand the learning cues in the language environment, which may help researchers build learning theories that are grounded in real-world structure.
Secular-Sacred Hybridity of Ren’ai: Charitable Organisations, Religious Networks and Ethical Identities in Contemporary China
Authors: Stapleton Theo 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This article explores the growth of religious philanthropy in contemporary China over the first two decades of the twenty-first century. By describing the strategies of one of China’s most important Buddhist-inspired charities at macro, meso, and micro scales, I argue that the Ren’ai Charity Foundation’s success is due to its strategic blurring of the boundaries between the sacred and the secular. This strategy is manifest in its negotiations with the secular state, internal organizational structures, and ethical discourse. Sacred-secular hybridity, the central concept advanced in this article, is an important feature of China’s religious revival, and an important example of innovative strategies employed by non-government organizations in the policy gray areas of contemporary China. The sacred-secular hybridity of Ren’ai not only reveals the latest developments within Chinese religious philanthropy, but also serves as a theoretical framework to better understand the contested category of religion in contemporary China.
A Note on the Qumran Version of Isa 5:18
Authors: von Büttner Cyrill 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This article discusses a potentially difficult reading that occurs in the Great Isaiah Scroll (1QIsaa) in Isa 5:18, namely, the word ‮השי‬‎. This manuscript is the oldest Hebrew copy of the book of Isaiah, dating from the second half of the second century BCE. The reading ‮השי‬‎ was previously thought to be the result of a scribe’s error (written instead of ‮השו‬‎ “deceit, worthlessness, vanity,” cf. ‮השוא‬‎ in the Masoretic Text). The article discusses alternative explanations for this reading: a) the form of the noun ‮שֶׂה‬‎ “sheep, goat,” b) the form of the noun ‮שַׁי‬‎ “tribute.”
“Bravo pour votre incompétence!” Exploring the French-Speaking Customer Service Interactions of Three European Train Operating Companies Online
Authors: Lutzky Ursula , Ruytenbeek Nicolas 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Today, customer service interactions take place in the digital sphere to a considerable extent. In fact, several social networking platforms have been reappropriated to this end, allowing businesses to engage in conversations with their customers. In this study, we investigate the nature of these conversations on Twitter (now X) in three different French-speaking countries. We focus on the national train operating companies in France (SNCF), Belgium (SNCB) and Switzerland (CFF) and study their Twitter interactions with customers in French, using a corpus linguistic methodology. Our study is based on a corpus of more than half a million tweets addressed to and posted by the respective companies between 2018 and 2022. The aim of this contrastive study is to highlight the linguistic features and communicative strategies used by the respective companies and their customers, with a view to uncovering potential features pertaining to the discourse of customer service tweets in French.
Anyway as a Pragmatic Marker in Nigerian and Ghanaian Englishes
Authors: Unuabonah Foluke Olayinka , Daniel Florence Oluwaseyi 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This paper examines pragmatic variation in the use of anyway between Nigerian English and Ghanaian English, in terms of its frequency, position, collocational patterns, pragmatic functions and occurrence in different text types. The data for the study, which are retrieved from the Nigerian and Ghanaian components of the International Corpus of English, are examined from a variational pragmatic framework. The results indicate that overall, there is no significant variance in the frequency of anyway between Nigerian English and Ghanaian English; however, there are significant differences in the frequency of anyway across different text types between the two varieties. Moreover, while anyway occurs most frequently at clause-initial position in Ghanaian English, it occurs most often at clause-final position in Nigerian English. Anyway performs different pragmatic functions in Nigerian English and Ghanaian English, including signalling affirmation, which is a function that has not been identified in other varieties of English. The study, thus, contributes to the research on anyway as a pragmatic marker as well as pragmatic variation in Nigerian English and Ghanaian English.
Nighttime safety of daridorexant: Evaluation of responsiveness to an external noise stimulus, postural stability, walking, and cognitive function

Published: December 2024

Background: Daridorexant is a dual orexin receptor antagonist approved for the treatment of chronic insomnia disorder. Aims: Investigate the auditory awakening threshold (AAT), postural stability, and cognitive function during the night following evening administration of daridorexant 25 and 50 mg. Methods: Double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, 3-way (placebo, 25, 50 mg) crossover study in 36 healthy male and female nonelderly adult and elderly subjects (1:1 sex/age ratio). Four hours after bedtime administration, the AAT was determined, followed by investigation of the main pharmacodynamic endpoint nocturnal postural stability (body sway) as well as functional mobility using the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, and cognitive function/memory using the Visual Verbal Learning Test (VVLT). Results: All 36 subjects completed the study. The average AAT was approximately 60 dB across treatments, i.e., there were no differences between daridorexant and placebo. Daridorexant marginally increased body sway by approximately 22%, while it had no clinically meaningful effect on the time to complete the TUG test (⩽1 s increase), and the VVLT (immediate and delayed number of correctly recalled words) showed minimal and clinically not meaningful differences of up to one word, all compared to placebo. Delayed word recognition was not different from placebo. The increase in body sway in the overall population was driven by nonelderly adults, as effects in elderly subjects were similar to placebo. Conclusions: Following bedtime administration, daridorexant maintained the ability to awaken to an external noise stimulus in the middle of the night, allowing subjects to function safely.

Published: December 2024

Objective One in every 4 individuals born with a 22q11.2 microdeletion will develop schizophrenia. Thirty years of clinical genetic testing capability have enabled detection of this major molecular susceptibility for psychotic illness. However, there is limited literature on the treatment of schizophrenia in individuals with a 22q11.2 microdeletion, particularly regarding the issue of treatment resistance. Methods From a large, well-characterized adult cohort with a typical 22q11.2 microdeletion followed for up to 25 years at a specialty clinic, we studied all 107 adults (49 females, 45.8%) meeting the criteria for schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. We performed a comprehensive review of lifetime (1,801 patient-years) psychiatric records to determine treatments used and the prevalence of treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS). We used Clinical Global Impression–Improvement (CGI-I) scores to compare within-individual responses to clozapine and nonclozapine antipsychotics. For a subgroup with contemporary data ( n = 88, 82.2%), we examined antipsychotics and dosage at the last follow-up. Results Lifetime treatments involved on average 4 different antipsychotic medications per individual. Sixty-three (58.9%) individuals met the study criteria for TRS, a significantly greater proportion than for a community-based comparison (42.9%; χ2 = 10.38, df = 1, p < 0.01). The non-TRS group was enriched for individuals with genetic diagnosis before schizophrenia diagnosis. Within-person treatment response in TRS was significantly better for clozapine than for nonclozapine antipsychotics ( p < 0.0001). At the last follow-up, clozapine was the most common antipsychotic prescribed, followed by olanzapine, risperidone, and paliperidone. Total antipsychotic chlorpromazine equivalent dosages were in typical clinical ranges (median: 450 mg; interquartile range: 300, 750 mg). Conclusion The results for this large sample indicate that patients with 22q11.2 microdeletion have an increased propensity to treatment resistance. The findings provide evidence about how genetic diagnosis can inform clinical psychiatric management and could help reduce treatment delays. Further research is needed to shed light on the pathophysiology of antipsychotic response and on strategies to optimize outcomes.

Authors: Pellegrini Marco , Adamo Ginevra , Nardella Michele , Sarti Laura , Talli Pietro Maria , Nasini Francesco , Mura Marco 
Published: December 2024

Purpose To report the visual and refractive outcomes of trocar-assisted sutureless intrascleral three-piece intraocular lens (IOL) fixation, and to compare the accuracy of different IOL power formulas in this setting. Methods Twenty eyes of 20 patients who underwent trocar-assisted sutureless three-piece IOL scleral fixation were included. Two trocar-cannula systems were placed at 3 and 9 o’clock position creating 2.5 mm scleral tunnels. The haptics of a three-piece IOL were grasped with serrated retinal forceps, externalized through the scleral tunnels and fixed by making a flange. Prediction error (PE) was calculated as the actual postoperative spherical equivalent (SE) refraction minus the SE predicted refraction. The predicted SE was calculated using the Barret Universal II, Emmetropia Verifying Optical (EVO), Hoffer Q, Holladay 1, Holladay II, and SRK/T. Results At 6 months after surgery, corrected distance visual acuity improved from 0.66 ± 0.36 to 0.17 ± 0.13 logMAR ( p < .001). The lowest median absolute PE was obtained by the Barrett formula (0.73D), followed by the EVO (0.81D), Holladay 1 (0.94D), SRK/T (0.98D), Hoffer Q (1.05D) and Haigis (1.64D) formulas. The highest percentage of eyes within ±1.00 D were obtained with the Barrett (60.0%), and EVO (55.0%) formulas. Conclusion Although trocar-assisted intrascleral three-piece IOL fixation yields good visual results, the predictability of refractive outcomes is lower than in standard cataract surgery. All formulas showed a slight tendency towards a hyperopic refractive surprise.
Animal-assisted intervention services across UK intensive care units: A national service evaluation
Authors: Wright Sam , McAree Holly , Hosey Megan , Tantam Kate , Connolly Bronwen 
Published: December 2024

Background: Animal-assisted interventions (AAI) can provide psychological support to critical care patients during their intensive care unit (ICU) admission. However, there are currently no data on AAI services across UK ICUs. The current study therefore aims to (i) determine how many ICUs in the UK offer services, (ii) characterise available services and (iii) explore and review local documentation for service oversight. Methods: A service evaluation comprising two parts; a national survey of UK ICU’s, analysed using descriptive statistics, and review of local service oversight documents, analysed using a framework approach. Results: Responses from 74 sites (/242, 30.6%) were included in survey analysis. AAI services were present at 32 sites (/74, 43.2%), of which 30 offered animal-assisted activity services alone and 2 offered both animal-assisted activity and animal-assisted therapy services. Animal-assisted activity services were typically delivered on a weekly basis, lasting 30–60 min and with dogs the sole animal employed. Concern over infection prevention and control was the most common barrier to service provision, as well as a lack of supporting evidence. Sixteen sites provided 27 oversight documents for analysis, that highlighted unique and shared responsibilities between critical care staff and animal therapy handlers, including aspects of administration, welfare and infection control. Conclusion: From a small sample, AAI services were available in less than half of ICUs. Empirical value of interventions is countered by current lack of definitive evidence of effectiveness, which should be addressed before wider implementation of AAI services and the associated resource requirements, is undertaken.
Influence of palmar plate injury on outcomes of zone 2 flexor tendon repair
Authors: Akyurek Mustafa , Hafiz Gunes , Sayan Mihrican 
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the impact of proximal interphalangeal joint palmar plate injury on outcomes of flexor tendon repair in zone 2, excluding cases with fractures or dislocations. A retrospective review of 47 digits in 45 patients treated between 2014 and 2022 was conducted, analysing surgical notes, ultrasound images and patient photographs. The palmar plate was injured in 17 digits and intact in 30. Outcomes were assessed using the Strickland criteria for active range of movement 6 months postoperatively. Our analysis revealed that palmar plate injuries significantly affect flexor tendon repair outcomes, with a normal palmar plate increasing the likelihood of excellent recovery by 18 times. Although previous studies indicate no consensus on the impact of flexor digitorum superficialis repair, our findings emphasize the importance of palmar plate integrity. Nerve injury and flexor digitorum superficialis repair did not show significant effects on recovery in this cohort. Our study provides valuable insights into the importance of the injury to the palmar plate. Level of evidence: III
Plain Language Summary of Publication: Does crushing vibegron 75 mg tablet affect its safety or the amount of vibegron in the body over time in healthy adults?
Authors: King Jennifer , Tuders Nancy , Varano Susann , Owens-Grillo Janet 
Published: December 2024

What is this summary about? This is a plain language summary of an article published in the journal Clinical Pharmacology in Drug Development. It is about a study of a medicine called vibegron. Vibegron is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (also called the FDA) to treat overactive bladder, also known as OAB. It may be easier for people with swallowing issues to take a pill by crushing it and mixing it with applesauce instead of swallowing it whole. Researchers did this study to find out if vibegron could be safely crushed and mixed with applesauce. Participants took vibegron that was either crushed or intact, and researchers compared how much vibegron made it into the bloodstream over time. The researchers asked whether people who took crushed vibegron had more unwanted medical events (called adverse events) than people who took vibegron as an intact pill. What were the results? Crushed vibegron tablets did not change in applesauce for 4 h at room temperature. Just over half of the participants (53%) said that the taste was not different than expected. The amount of vibegron in blood over time was similar between those who took crushed vibegron and those who took intact vibegron. The most common adverse events were headache, constipation, and nausea. No participant experienced a serious adverse event during the study, meaning that no adverse events required hospital care or caused permanent damage or disability. Adverse events that might be related to vibegron occurred in seven participants (23%) after they took crushed vibegron and six participants (20%) after they took the intact pill. What do the results mean? The results of this study show that vibegron can be crushed and taken with applesauce without increases in adverse events compared to taking the intact pill. Crushed vibegron did not change in applesauce and the amount of vibegron in blood over time was similar when vibegron was crushed in applesauce or taken whole. This means that people may take vibegron as a crushed or intact pill for overactive bladder. This may be particularly important for people with difficulty swallowing. Who should read this article? This article is for people with overactive bladder symptoms who have a hard time swallowing pills. It may also be helpful for their families and care partners, and for health care professionals who care for people with overactive bladder. Where can I find the original article on which this summary is based? The original article is called “Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Vibegron 75 mg Administered as an Intact or Crushed Tablet in Healthy Adults.” You can read the original article published in Clinical Pharmacology in Drug Development at this link: •  https://accp1.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cpdd.1169
Possible sinoatrial node dysfunction in a 6-month-old domestic shorthair cat
Authors: Hillen Florence , Locquet Laurent 
Published: December 2024

Case summary A 6-month-old male entire domestic shorthair cat was presented to the ophthalmology department for nasolacrimal duct cannulation and flushing, and castration under general anaesthesia. On pre-anaesthetic assessment, the cat had a heart rate of 90 beats/min (bpm). Clinical examination was unremarkable, although the cat appeared stressed. The echocardiogram was within normal limits. An ambulatory electrocardiogram (ECG) monitor was fitted overnight, and analysis of the ECG revealed a sinus rhythm with a lower than normal heart rate. The mean 1 min rate was 98 bpm. There was a slower than normal sinus rhythm and frequent ventricular escape beats. Differential diagnoses included increased vagal tone and sinoatrial node dysfunction (SND). The latter was suspected as the cat demonstrated signs of stress although an atropine response test was not performed. Relevant and novel information SND is relatively common in dogs but extremely rare in cats. To the authors’ knowledge, there is only one affected cat mentioned in the literature. In both dogs and humans, most cases described are in middle-aged and elderly patients. Although the condition is recognised in human infants and fetuses, it has not been reported in dogs under 2 years of age. This case is unusual because SND was suspected in an immature cat. On analysis of the ECG, the heart rate was considerably lower than those previously reported in hospitalised cats; however, findings on physical examination were subtle, highlighting the importance of pre-anaesthetic examination in identifying unexpected abnormalities.
