The Debate on Medieval Western Christian Dualism through the Prism of Slavonic Pseudepigrapha
Authors: Stoyanov Yuri 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
The study of the Old Slavonic pseudepigrapha has assumed wider significance in wider areas of Jewish and Christian religious history after recent research has indicated their importance for the investigation of early Jewish and Christian apocalypticism, Gnost­icism and the Jewish Merkabah tradition. The article intends to present the state of evidence and research of the influx of early Jewish and Christian parabiblical narratives and notions in western medieval heretical milieux (via the transmission of Slavonic apocryphal traditions through Eastern dualist channels). The parabiblical narratives or elements of earlier pseudepigraphic texts in the sources for Catharism have been largely downplayed or ignored in the current debates on medieval Western heresy. However, they should be reintegrated in the central ground of these debates, as they provide vital clues to medieval dualist stances on Scripture and the exegetical and compilatory techniques in recasting biblical and parabiblical material in medieval theological and literary environments
The Lilies of Worms
Authors: Brocke Michael 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
The Worms cemetery is a treasure trove of medieval and early modern Ashkenazic epigraphical, spiritual and material culture. The oldest Jewish burial place of Europe contains more than 1,400 tombstones dating from the eleventh to the seventeenth centuries. Having published epigraphical documentations of several large cemeteries, the Salomon Ludwig Steinheim-Institut, University of Duisburg-Essen is working on a full documentation of Worms. This article highlights an unknown aspect of this hallowed lieu de mémoire: the artwork to be discovered on the medieval stones, here the lily and fleur-de-lys as symbols and ornaments of the thirteenth century.
Restructuring and control in Arabic
Authors: Albaty Yasser , Ouali Hamid 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
This paper examines verbal complex constructions in two varieties of Arabic, namely: Moroccan Arabic (MA) and Najdi Arabic (NA). We provide a novel analysis that departs from the two previous studies that discussed this phenomenon in Lebanese Arabic (LA): Hallman (2011), and Ouwaydah & Shlonsky (2016). We argue that verbal complex constructions are derived using a monoclausal restructuring strategy (Wurmbrand 1998, 2001) in which the matrix control verb of nisa/forget-type instantiates a monoclausal structure. This analysis is novel in various aspects. First, it departs from and argues against control-based theories and, consequently, a biclausal structure. Second, it provides an account for various properties, including: agreement facts, Cinque’s restrictions on adverb distribution, tense and aspect absence on subordinate verbs, and the unexpected occurrence of the VVSO word order. Third, it analyzes new data related to the requirement of voice matching.
On the morphophonology of domains in Somali verbs and nouns
Authors: Green Christopher R. , Morrison Michelle E. 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
Morphemes involved in the formation of Somali verbs and nouns are, in most instances, clearly individuated into categories corresponding to their role in word formation. Verbs contain a base, derivational extensions, inflectional affixes, and clitics that attach in a fixed order. Nouns also contain a base and derivational affixes, but little inflectional morphology. Indeed, both parts of speech have similar morphological templates in Somali, but the relationship between the language’s morphological domains and prosodic domains has only recently become a subject of detailed inquiry. We add to this ongoing trend by illustrating in this paper that there are close correlations between these domains in the language’s verbal and nominal systems that can be elucidated by morphophonological processes; certain processes occur only in a particular prosodic domain, and these process/domain combinations are similar in both the nominal and verbal systems. By establishing diagnostic phenomena attributable to phrase-level domains, this paper fills a gap between recent works focused only on defining prosodic characteristics of Somali words (Downing & Nilsson 2017; Green & Morrison 2016) and the accentual behavior of Somali clauses (Le Gac 2002, 2003a, b).
Verb innovation in Hebrew and Palestinian Arabic
Authors: Laks Lior 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
This study investigates the criteria for form selection in the formation of new verbs in Modern Hebrew and Palestinian Arabic. The verbal systems of these languages consist of templatic forms (binyanim, sg. binyan), where every verb that enters the language must conform to one of them. Some binyanim are not used at all for the formation of new verbs, while others are used quite rarely. The paper is based on productions of new verbs that have been collected during the past six years. It is shown that the interaction of thematic-semantic and morpho-phonological criteria dictates the selection of binyan for new verbs and explains why certain binyanim are favored over others. Morpho-phonological criteria involve the properties of the base from which the verb is derived. Thematic-semantic criteria relate to the distinction between basic and derived entries in the lexicon as well as semantic resemblance to existing words. Verb innovation provides direct access to the process of word formation and shows how different types of criteria and constraints are taken into consideration.
Between Science and Religion: Spiritism in the Ottoman Empire (1850s-1910s)
Authors: Türesay Özgür 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
Spiritism reached the Ottoman Empire very quickly via the European and Levantine communities in Istanbul in the 1850s. At the outset of 1910, spiritism had become a very popular topic in the press. Spiritist publishing burst in Ottoman Turkish is connected to the environment of a more or less liberal press in the aftermath of the Young Turk revolution of 1908. As was the case in the history of spiritism elsewhere, in the Ottoman Empire reactions against spiritism came mainly from two intellectual circles: the positivistic (or scientific and materialist) ones and the non-positivistic (or religious-spiritual and anti-materialist) ones. Besides, all this spiritist, para-spiritist and anti-spiritist publishing activity involved a respective translation activity into Ottoman Turkish, which enhanced cultural transfer processes.
L’Islam saharien précolonial : portrait d’un champ de recherche
Authors: Warscheid Ismail 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
From the 15th century onwards, a network of Muslim scholarly communities developed in the western and central parts of the Sahara, covering present‐day southern Algeria, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, and Niger. The massive diffusion of Islamic literate culture led to the constitution of a rich tradition of scholarship that materialized in various types of texts: doctrinal treatises, biographical dictionaries, chronicles, commentaries, poetry, and, most important, comprehensive fatwa collections. In the last decades, increasing academic attention has been given to this astonishing cultural heritage of the people of the great desert. This article intends to give a short survey of works and research orientations, focusing on projects of identification and edition of Arabic manuscripts and on the mobilization of Muslim scholarly writing as a source for social and cultural history.
The Organisation of Late Pleistocene Robberg Blade Technology in the Doring River Catchment, South Africa
Authors: Low Marika , Mackay Alex 
Published: May 2019

AbstractEmphasis on the production of small unretouched blades is the strongest defining technological characteristic of southern African assemblages referred to as the Robberg – a ‘technologically uniform’ technocomplex identified across the sub-continent. This paper explores the spatial organisation of Robberg blade technology from three rockshelter sites in the Doring River catchment of the eastern Cederberg Mountains. The Doring is both a key source of water and toolstone, and the three sites are located at varying distances from it. Blades and blade cores from these sites are used to explore the influence of distance to source on the abundance of raw materials, staging of production and maintenance/reduction of transported artefacts. Results suggest key differences in procurement and provisioning strategies for different materials. Hunter-gatherers ‘geared up’ with hornfels and silcrete blades at the river before moving up the tributaries where toolkits were supplemented by small numbers of blades made from transported silcrete cores and the situational use of local rock types such as quartz. Results demonstrate the importance of understanding local-scale controls on technological organisation before inferring patterns of broader behavioural import.
Images and Expectations of Chinese Tourists Visiting an Arctic Destination: Rovaniemi, Finnish Lapland
Authors: Tommasini Daniela , Zhou Shenghan 
Published: May 2019

During the last years an increasing number of Chinese tourists are travelling to the Arctic regions. Rovaniemi in Finland is one of the most popular destinations among them. Here Chinese tourists, with a preconceived image of the Arctic, can enjoy clean air and nature, meet Santa Claus, see the Northern Lights, and thus meet their expectations.This paper is based on an online survey made in April and May 2016 among Chinese that went to visit Rovaniemi and its surroundings.Results show, among other things, that there are a growing number of tourists organising their own travel, and a higher demand for leisure activities. The level of satisfaction after the experience is pretty good, and the expectations, according to the pre-formed images, are fulfilled.
Being Privileged Overseas: Taiwanese People in Jakarta (海外優勢移民：雅加達的台灣人)
Authors: Lin (林平) Ping 
Published: May 2019

During the 1980s, many Taiwanese firms moved to the prc or Southeast Asia due to rising production costs in Taiwan. This trend of firm relocation caused many Taiwanese people to move to the prc or Southeast Asia as entrepreneurs, firm managers, or accompanying family members. While many studies have explored the experiences of Taiwanese immigrants in the prc, studies on the lives of Taiwanese people in Southeast Asia are still limited. This pilot study is based on my fieldwork in Jakarta, Indonesia in 2015. Through conducting 24 interviews and participant observation of Taiwanese people affiliated with the Jakarta Taipei School (hereinafter jts), I argue that a certain number of Taiwanese people live their lives as ‘privileged migrants’ in Jakarta as most respondents lead a life that is of significantly higher quality than most locals. Those who marry rich Sino-Indonesians are accorded a status higher than what was available to them in Taiwan. Their life experiences show the intertwining relationship between international migration and social mobility. While some studies have suggested the importance of ethnic affinity in the process of integration, respondents’ complicated perception on the native Indonesians and Sino-Indonesians predicts that more studies on the issue of ethnicity in the field of privileged migration and overseas Chinese are necessary.
由於生產成本上升，台灣很多勞力密集產業自1980年代起便遷往中國大陸或東南亞地區。這樣的產業遷移吸引不少台灣人以企業經營者、高階管理人，或隨行家屬的身分前往相關國家。當不少研究關注移居中國大陸的台灣人時，關於台灣人在東南亞生活現狀的討論卻是非常有限。這份研究是以筆者2015年在雅加達針台北學校進行田野調查的資料為基礎，經過初步分析之後完成。藉由對24位受訪者進行訪談及參與觀察，筆者認為不少台灣人在當地享有相當優渥的生活。與當地華人通婚的受訪者，更擁有在台灣無法獲得的生活條件與發展機會。這些受訪者的遷移經驗顯示，社會階層的向上流動是有可能與地理邊界的跨國流動發生連結。此外，受訪者對印尼華人與印尼原住民的不同反應，更顯示族群因素依然是優勢移民及海外華人研究的重要議題。 (This article is in English.)
Impacts of Climate Warming on Aviation Fuel Consumption
Authors: Ren Diandong , Leslie Lance M. 
Published: May 2019

AbstractFactors affecting aviation fuel efficiency are thermal and propulsive efficiencies, and overall drag on aircraft. An along-the-route integration is made for all direct flights in a baseline year, 2010, under current and future atmospheric conditions obtained from 26 climate models under the representative concentration pathway (RCP) 8.5 scenario. Thermal efficiency and propulsive efficiency are affected differently, with the former decreasing by 0.38% and the latter increasing by 0.35%. Consequently, the overall engine efficiency decrease is merely <0.02%. Over the same period, the skin frictional drag increases ~3.5% from the increased air viscosity. This component is only 5.7% of the total drag, and the ~3.5% increase in air viscosity accounts for a 0.2% inefficiency in fuel consumption. A t test is performed for the multiple-model ensemble mean time series of fuel efficiency decrease for two 20-yr periods centered on years 2010 and 2090, respectively. The trend is found to be statistically significant (p value = 0.0017). The total decrease in aircraft fuel efficiency is equivalent to ~0.68 billion gallons of additional fuel annually, a qualitatively robust conclusion, but quantitatively there is a large interclimate model spread.
The Role of Work Environment in Training Sustainment: A Meta-Analysis
Authors: Hughes Ashley M. , Zajac Stephanie , Woods Amanda L. , Salas Eduardo 
Published: May 2019

Objective: The purpose of this meta-analytic review is to examine the role of three work environment support variables (i.e., peer, supervisor, and organizational support) in training transfer and sustainment or long-term use of learned knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSAs). Background: Estimates demonstrate that little training is transferred to the job, wasting billions in organizational spending each year and resulting in significant loss to safety and individual and team performance. Prior research shows the importance of a supportive work environment to facilitating transfer; however, we know little of the relative importance of specific support variables. This study seeks to examine the unique roles of distinct support variables in training transfer. Method: A meta-analysis was conducted with multiple regressions to answer three primary research questions. Results: All work environment support variables demonstrate moderate and positive correlations with transfer of training. Furthermore, multiple regressions demonstrate that each factor of the work environment explains unique variance as a predictor, with the model accounting for 32% of transfer and peer support accounting for most of R2. Motivation to transfer mediates the relationship between all three work environment support variables and transfer. Furthermore, three support variables are positively related to sustainment, with peer and supervisor support showing the strongest relationships. Conclusion: Findings illuminate the relative contribution of peer, supervisor, and organizational support to transfer and sustainment of training. As transfer continues to be an important yet understudied measure of the effectiveness of workplace training, these findings hold implications for both research and practice.

Objectives We tested the combined effects of chronic flow obstacle and gravitation on the saphenous vein network of rats. Methods A narrowing clip (500 µm, partial occlusion) was administered on the saphenous vein main branch for 4, 8 and 12 weeks, either separately or in combination with chronic orthostatic load (tilted tube-cages for four weeks). Resulting network changes were studied on plastic casts, by video-microscopy, histochemistry–immunohistochemistry and image analysis. Results A rich collateral venous network developed containing newly formed masses of retrograde conducting small veins. Their walls had less dense elastica, less contractile protein, increased cell division activity and macrophage invasion, and were more sensitive to chronic gravitational load. Conclusions Hemodynamic disturbance induces remodeling of the saphenous vein network. Walls of veins being in the process of flow-induced morphological remodeling are weak and more sensitive to gravitational load. Reticular vein conglomerates, veins with local dilations, and convoluted courses were observed.
Combined and parallel individual and group therapy—still a red rag?
Authors: Türk Dorothe 
Published: May 2019

The author argues that in specific cases, and for particular reasons, combined or parallel treatment could be superior to sole individual or sole group therapy. In recent years, I treated some patients before and during the start of group therapy with weekly individual sessions. This procedure was necessary to reduce the fear of the group for these patients to a tolerable level. For some other patients, I replaced the third psychoanalytic individual session with psychoanalytic group therapy for their treatment. The concurrent parallel group session can provide a supplement and extension of the psychoanalytic process. For patients with pronounced super-ego disorders, severe shame and social anxieties, this treatment may boost individual development in treatment. Concurrent group and individual psychotherapy enriches transference and countertransference work in both settings and enables a dense and intensive therapeutic process. To treat people equally means to treat them differently. The needs of our patients are not the same. The main point of my interest is the patient and not the treatment modality. Every patient requires individual ways of therapy.

Published: May 2019

Background: The aim of this study was to define the rate of new persistent opioid use and risk factors for persistent opioid use after operative and nonoperative treatment of ankle fractures. Methods: Using a nationwide insurance claims database, Clinformatics DataMart Database, we identified opioid-naïve patients who underwent surgical treatment of unstable ankle fracture patterns between January 2009 and June 2016. Patients who underwent closed treatment of a distal fibula fracture served as a comparative group. We evaluated peritreatment and posttreatment opioid prescription fills. The primary outcome, new persistent opioid use, was defined as opioid prescription fulfillment between 91 and 180 days after the procedure. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the effect of patient factors, and the differences of the effect were tested using Wald statistics. The adjusted persistent use rates were calculated. A total of 13 088 patients underwent treatment of an ankle fracture and filled a peritreatment opioid prescription. Results: When compared with closed treatment of a distal fibula fracture, only 2 surgical treatment subtypes demonstrated significantly increased rates of persistent use compared with the closed treatment group: open treatment of bimalleolar ankle fracture (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.32; 95% CI, 1.10-1.58; P = .002) and open treatment of trimalleolar ankle fracture with fixation of posterior lip (aOR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.04-2.07; P = .027). Rates were significantly increased (aOR, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.34-1.82; P < .001) among patients who received a total peritreatment opioid dose that was in the top 25th percentile of total oral morphine equivalents. Factors independently associated with new persistent opioid use included mental health disorders, comorbid conditions, tobacco use, and female sex. Conclusion: All ankle fracture treatment groups demonstrated high rates of new persistent opioid use, and persistent use was not directly linked to injury severity. Instead, we identified patient factors that demonstrated increased risk of persistent opioid use. Limiting the peritreatment opioid dose was the largest modifiable risk factor related to new persistent opioid use in this privately insured cohort. Level of Evidence: Level III, retrospective cohort study.

Background: Bone morphogenetic protein-7 (BMP-7) is a signaling molecule belonging to the transforming growth factor-β superfamily. Recent studies have demonstrated that BMP-7 is expressed in various human cancers and plays an important role in the progression of their cancers. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinicopathologic and prognostic impact of BMP-7 expression in clinical samples of non-small cell lung cancer. Methods: This study enrolled 160 patients with non-small cell lung cancer who underwent complete resection. Expression of BMP-7 in cancer tissue was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. Correlations between expression of BMP-7 and clinicopathologic factors and prognosis were analyzed. Results: In non-small cell lung cancer, BMP-7 expression was identified not only in cell membranes but also in the cytoplasm of cancer cells. Expression of BMP-7 correlated with p-T ( P = .047), N factor ( P = .013), and p-stage ( P = .046). Overall survival rate was significantly lower in the BMP-7-positive group than in the BMP-7-negative group ( P = .004). Multivariate analysis indicated that BMP-7 expression was one of the independent prognosis factors of overall survival ( P = .021). Furthermore, among patients with postoperative recurrence (n = 58), the BMP-7-positive group (n = 29) had a significantly poorer prognosis than the BMP-7-negative group (n = 29) ( P = .012). Conclusions: Expression of BMP-7 in non-small cell lung cancer was correlated with clinicopathologic factors and poorer prognosis. BMP-7 expression may be a useful predictor of aggressive activity of tumor behavior and postoperative outcome of patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
Reflections of stress in US abortion narratives
Authors: Sperlich Mickey , Ely Gretchen E , Rouland Rebecca S , Walters Connor A , Carwile Max 
Published: May 2019

A trauma-informed, thematic analysis that identified stress-related themes evident in 39 personal abortion narratives from the Tennessee Stories Project in the United States is presented in this paper. Using the Braun and Clarke model of thematic analysis, guided by the trauma-informed social work framework, researchers examined these narratives to identify stress related themes. Findings An overall theme of stress and traumatic stress was found to be present throughout the abortion narratives. These themes were categorized into subthemes, including: (a) existing life stressors preceding the abortion experience, (b) stressors while trying to access abortion services, (c) stressors while obtaining abortion services, and (d) stressors arising after the procedure. Applications These results suggest that stress and traumatic stress were reflected in these abortion narratives throughout the abortion seeking experience. This finding supports the need for social work practice responses that are designed to address and eliminate stress during the process of seeking and obtaining an abortion in the United States. A trauma-informed framework is recommended for guiding social work education about abortion, social worker interactions with clients who are seeking abortions, and the development of abortion policy in the United States in order to better align the abortion seeking experience with the principles of trauma-informed care.
