Background
Serum corin has been associated with stroke in observational studies, but the underlying causality is uncertain. This study examined the causal association between corin and stroke through Mendelian randomization study.

Methods and Results

In the Gusu cohort, serum corin was assayed at baseline, and stroke incidents were prospectively obtained during 10 years of follow‐up. Single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in
CORIN
were genotyped by MassArray for 2310 participants (mean age, 53 years; 39% men). Seventeen SNPs passed the Hardy–Weinberg test and were considered the potential instruments. Only 1 SNP (rs2271037) determined variability of serum corin was significantly associated with stroke even after adjusting for conventional risk factors (hazard ratio [HR], 1.36 [95% CI, 1.00–1.85]). The weighted genetic risk score generated from the SNP‐corin associations was significantly associated with stroke (HR, 2.01 [95% CI, 1.15–3.51]). Using this genetic risk score as the instrument, 1‐sample Mendelian randomization analysis found a significant HR of stroke per‐SD higher log
2
‐transformed corin (HR, 1.37 [95% CI, 1.07–1.76]). The inverse variance–weighted analysis based on the SNP‐corin and SNP‐stroke associations found that the HR of stroke pre‐SD higher log
2
‐transformed corin was 5.92 (95% CI, 2.23–15.72). The effect estimates stayed consistent regardless of an individual SNP being removed from the instruments. An almost identical effect estimate was also confirmed by multiple other 2‐sample Mendelian randomization methods.

Conclusions
Genetically determined variations of serum corin concentration were significantly associated with the risk of stroke in Chinese adults. Elevated serum corin may be a risk factor for stroke.
Beyond Authenticity: Genre, Rhetoric, and the Iterability of Shangshu Speeches
Authors: Yao Zhuming 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
In the Chinese tradition, the interrelationship between philology and literature is at its most contentious when it comes to the issue of authenticity. It was not until the Qing (1644–1912) that the case of the Shangshu 尚書 finally reached a resolution—so goes the conventional account regarding the parts of the compilation now labelled “inauthentic” (wei 偽). This paper invites us to rethink this philological question as a literary one. It shows how a set of genre and narrative strategies gives rise to a range of different but compatible textualizations that do not lend themselves to the distinction between the “authentic” and the “inauthentic.” Instead, the Shangshu illustrates a literary history where writing appropriates, lays claim to, and derives discursive authority from the oral form, reflecting a much broader literary culture.
Informal Storytelling and Social Networks: A Paratextual Reading of the Records of Miraculous Recompense
Authors: Luo Manling 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
In his collection of Buddhist miracle tales, the Records of Miraculous Recompense (Mingbao ji 冥報記), Tang Lin 唐臨 provided epilogues for most of his entries, documenting the sources and/or transmissions of stories that he had gathered over time. Situating these seemingly disparate, fragmentary paratexts in the context of the medieval “culture of informal storytelling,” this essay analyzes the range and composition of social networks as Tang Lin represents them in his epilogues. I then examine how his social networks, or his networks of informal storytelling, in the collection were embedded in the broader social world of the time. The case provides us with valuable glimpses into the dynamics of the culture of informal storytelling, especially its oral mode, and how it intersected with contemporaneous commemorative culture and lay Buddhist culture. These connections enable us to better understand the crucial roles that the culture of informal storytelling played in the medieval period before the advent of printing and other mass media.
Reconsidering Textual Coherence: Complexity, Unity, and the Historical-Critical Task
Authors: Timmer Daniel C. 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This article draws upon the discipline of linguistics in order to propose refinements to understandings of coherence as typically employed in much biblical interpretation. After arguing in favor of inductive, linguistic definitions of coherence and distinguishing it from cohesion, it examines several examples of biblical interpretation in which conventional understandings of, and criteria for, coherence are employed. Key differences between these two understandings of coherence are then mapped onto prominent trends in analysis of text formation and interpretation in an effort to identify ways that biblical scholars can refine and sharpen their textual analyses through more careful use of coherence.
Spirit of Jubilee: How Pentecost Birthed and Renews the Church
Authors: Alfaro Sammy 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Often considered almost an afterthought in some evangelical theological works, pneumatology among Pentecostal theologians became the quintessential focus and integrative motif for doing theology. But pneumatology should be more than an exploration of tongues and giftings; more than a study of the what, when, how, and why of Spirit baptism. Books explaining preferred interpretations of the gift of tongues as an or the evidence for the baptism in the Holy Spirit abound. The purpose of this address is to establish the narrative of Acts 2 as a formative and programmatic vision for the life and mission of the church as birthed and renewed in the power of Pentecost. This talk aims to outline some of the forays of Pentecostal pneumatological ecclesiology by underscoring the liberative dimensions of the Spirit of Jubilee.
Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict
Authors: Srivastava Ira 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Armenia and Azerbaijan have had a long history of adversarial conflict, with hostility being a recurring theme throughout history. The long history manifested into outright armed conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan in 2020. Subsequently, Armenia filed an application before the International Court of Justice to institute proceedings against Azerbaijan for racial discrimination against ethnic Armenians. This paper examines the jurisdiction of the icj in deciding on the dispute. The paper argues that it appears that the icj has jurisdiction over the present dispute. The second part of the paper discusses the applicability of the Articles on the Responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts and the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. It finally concludes with the way forward.
New Political Theology in Beijing: Jürgen Moltmann’s Dialogue with Chinese Humanists
Authors: Thurston Naomi 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
This article contextualizes the Chinese reception of Moltmann’s “new political theology” within Chinese academia by revisiting the “Beijing Summit” of October 2014, when Moltmann travelled to Renmin University of China to dialogue with ten leading Chinese academics in the humanities and social sciences. Debates raised concerned the recent Chinese reception of Carl Schmitt (1888–1985); President Xi Jinping’s Chinese Dream of National Rejuvenation; state responses to terrorism; and the “new political theology” introduced by Moltmann (1926–2024), Johann Baptist Metz (1928–2019), and others in post-WWII Germany. The article juxtaposes Moltmann’s and Schmitt’s political theologies in their respective receptions in Chinese scholarship, summarizes and presents a brief contextual analysis of the 2014 Summit with Moltmann, and probes the critical potential of Moltmann’s ideas for theological discourse in Chinese academia.
Evidence, Causality, and Collective Action
Authors: Fullhart Samuel 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
In collective action problems, large numbers of contributions together produce a good outcome, but any one contribution often makes no difference. Many philosophers think that act consequentialism implies that individuals should not contribute in these cases, given that their contributions cannot be expected to affect the outcome. Nearly everyone has assumed that the relevant expected effects of an action are those effects that are counterfactually dependent on what a given agent does. This assumption is at the heart of causal decision theory. In contrast, evidential decision theory evaluates actions on the basis of whatever can be expected to happen, given that the agent performs some action, where this includes events that are simply correlated with the action. I show that causal and evidentialist versions of act consequentialism can diverge in collective action problems. Evidential decision theory can require us to do our part even when causal decision theory does not.
Moral Contingency and Moral Supervenience
Authors: Bedke Matthew S. 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Moral Supervenience says that there can be no moral difference without a descriptive difference. This has been considered one of the least controversial principles in ethics. Explaining it has been a central desideratum. And yet an increasingly popular metaethical view appears to be incompatible with it. According to Moral Contingency, there are metaphysically contingent pure moral principles helping to ground particular moral facts. On such a view, it looks like there can be a difference in pure moral principles without a descriptive difference. This looks like a moral difference without a descriptive difference. Are those who find both Moral Supervenience and Moral Contingency plausible faced with a difficult choice? Many contingentists think so, but I am here to argue that they are mistaken. The two principles are compatible after all, for differences in pure moral principle entail descriptive differences.
Parameterization of Vertical Turbulent Transport in the Inner Core of Tropical Cyclones and Its Impact on Storm Intensification. Part II: Understanding TC Intensification in a Generalized Sawyer–Eliassen Diagnostic Framework
Authors: Katz Jeremy , Zhu Ping 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
An analytical method for diagnosing the interaction between the primary and secondary circulations of a tropical cyclone (TC) and vortex intensification is developed. It includes a diagnostic equation describing the mean secondary circulation of a TC in an unbalanced framework by including the radial eddy forcing in the analytical system. It is an extension of the Sawyer–Eliassen equation (SEE) developed from the strict gradient-wind balance. This generalized SEE (GSEE) remediates some of the limitations of SEE and can be used to diagnose both balanced and unbalanced dynamical processes during the TC evolution. Using GSEE, this study investigates how the tangential and radial eddy forcing affects the TC intensification simulated by the Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting Model (HWRF) with differently parameterized turbulent mixing. The diagnostic results show that the supergradient component of radial eddy forcing contributes positively to the acceleration of the peak tangential wind, whereas the subgradient component of the radial eddy forcing tends to lower the height of peak tangential wind. The relative importance of negative and positive effects of tangential eddy forcing on TC intensification varies depending on the details of turbulence parameterization. For a turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) scheme used in this study, a large sloping curvature of mixing length in the low troposphere causes the tangential eddy forcing to produce a net positive tangential wind tendency near the location of the peak tangential wind. In contrast, a small sloping curvature of mixing length generates a net negative tangential wind tendency at the peak tangential wind.

Significance Statement
The interaction between the primary and secondary circulations of a tropical cyclone (TC) plays a key role in TC evolution. Historically, the secondary circulation induced by turbulence and convection is often described by a so-called Sawyer–Eliassen equation (SEE). While SEE has provided much insight into the TC dynamics in the past, the assumption of gradient-wind balance used by SEE prevents it from understanding TC unbalanced dynamics. To remediate the limitation, we extended the analytical framework into the unbalanced regime by including radial eddy forcing in the analytical system and derived a generalized SEE (GSEE). Using GSEE, this study investigates how tangential and radial eddy forcing affects TC intensification. The result highlights the importance of multiple roles that turbulence plays in the intensification of TCs.

Authors: Fell Matthew , Fenner Lynn , Fallico Nefer 
Published: September 2024

Objective To consider the clinical anatomy, safety and effectiveness of the suprazygomatic maxillary nerve block in cleft palate surgery. Design Observational case series. Setting Single cleft centre in the United Kingdom Participants Patients born with a cleft palate (with or without a cleft lip) undergoing palatal surgery between the ages of 9 months and 18 years. Intervention Introduction of suprazygomatic maxillary nerve (SZMN) block using ropivacaine 0.2% into clinical protocol in February 2023. Main Outcome Measures Peri-procedure complications and post-operative opioid administration. Results The clinical anatomy of the SZMN block is described in a stepwise and pictorial approach from superficial to deep structures. 43 patients underwent surgical interventions involving the palate (either intravelar veloplasty, Furlow palatoplasty or bilateral myomucosal buccinator flaps for palatal lengthening). 22 patients had a general anaesthetic and local anaesthetic infiltration and 21 had an additional SZMN block. There were no local or systemic complications associated with the SZMN block. There was no difference in the total dosing of post-operative ( P = .79) opioids between the groups. Conclusions We demonstrate the feasibility and safety of this procedure without the use of ultrasound guidance in a heterogenous group of paediatric patients undergoing palatal surgery. Regional anaesthesia should be considered as part of the multi-modal analgesic strategy, although it may be difficult to demonstrate a change in opioid use in clinical settings where enhanced recovery techniques are established, and opioid use is already low.

Published: September 2024

High-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) is a serious and potentially fatal condition in pregnant and postpartum women. Clinical practice guidelines recommend managing high-risk PE in the general population with systemic thrombolysis as the first therapeutic option. However, pregnant and especially early postpartum women may have a high risk of bleeding that contraindicates this therapy. In this regard, dedicated percutaneous large-bore aspiration catheters may be a promising alternative for this population. We present 2 cases of pregnant women diagnosed with high-risk PE and an absolute contraindication to systemic thrombolysis, successfully treated with percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy using a dedicated large-bore aspiration catheter. There were no complications, and both patients were discharged with full recovery and subsequently had uncomplicated deliveries. Clinical Impact Through these clinical cases, we present a new protocol of action, updated with the latest evidence on percutaneous pulmonary thrombectomy using dedicated catheters, for high-risk PE in pregnant women or during the early postpartum period.
Provider perception of presentations with nonspecific back pain in the emergency department and primary care practices: a semi-structured interview study
Authors: Benning Leo , Köhne Nora , Busch Hans-Jörg , Hans Felix Patricius 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Background
Increasing numbers of patients treated in the emergency departments pose challenges to delivering timely and high-quality care. Particularly, the presentation of patients with low-urgency complaints consumes resources needed for patients with higher urgency. In this context, patients with non-specific back pain (NSBP) often present to emergency departments instead of primary care providers. While patient perspectives are well understood, this study aims to add a provider perspective on the diagnostic and therapeutic approach for NSBP in emergency and primary care settings.

Methods
In a qualitative content analysis, we interviewed seven Emergency Physicians (EP) and nine General Practitioners (GP) using a semi-structured interview to assess the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to patients with NSBP in emergency departments and primary care practices. A hypothetical case of NSBP was presented to the interviewees, followed by questions on their diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Recruitment was stopped after reaching saturation of the qualitative content analysis. Reporting this work follows the consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research (COREQ) checklist.

Results
EPs applied two different strategies for the workup of NSBP. A subset pursued a guideline-compliant diagnostic approach, ruling out critical conditions and managing pain without extensive diagnostics. Another group of EPs applied a more extensive approach, including extensive diagnostic resources and specialist consultations. GPs emphasized physical examinations and stepwise treatment, including scheduled follow-ups and a better knowledge of the patient history to guide diagnostics and therapy. Both groups attribute ED visits for NSBP to patient related and healthcare system related factors: lack of understanding of healthcare structures, convenience, demand for immediate diagnostics, and fear of serious conditions. Furthermore, both groups reported an ill-suited healthcare infrastructure with insufficiently available primary care services as a contributing factor.

Conclusions
The study highlights a need for improving guideline adherence in younger EPs and better patient education on the healthcare infrastructure. Furthermore, improving access and availability of primary care services could reduce ED visits of patients with NSBP.

The effect of two preparation designs on the fracture resistance and marginal adaptation of two types of ceramic crowns using CAD/CAM technology (In vitro study)
Authors: Ashour Akram Moamen , El-Kateb Mohamed Mahmoud , Azer Amir Shoukry 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Background
Recently, prosthodontic approaches involve more conservative procedures that include less invasive finish line preparations that use less ceramic thickness.

Aim of the study
This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the effect of vertical preparation and modified vertical preparation designs on the marginal adaptation and fracture resistance of two types of ceramic crowns using CAD/CAM technology.

Materials and methods
Two typodont maxillary first premolars were embedded in acrylic resin. Forty positive replicas of epoxy resin dies were used that were divided into two groups depending on the preparation design (n = 20); Group V (Vertical): dies with feather edge finish line and Group MV (Modified vertical): dies with feather edge finish line, where a reverse shoulder of 1 mm depth was placed on the buccal surface 1.5 mm from the occlusal surface. Each group was further subdivided into two subgroups according to the type of ceramic material (n = 10): Subgroup Va and subgroup MVa for lithium disilicate (e.max CAD) and subgroup Vb and subgroup MVb for zirconia (zolid ht+). Crown restorations were made with CAD-CAM technology. The marginal adaptation was assessed using a stereomicroscope both prior to cementation and after cementation and aging. Fracture resistance was tested with a universal testing machine, and the data were statistically analyzed.

Results
Marginal adaptation showed no significant differences between subgroups before or after cementation and aging. Three-way ANOVA indicated that preparation design (p = 0.516) and material (p = 0.269) had no significant effect, but cementation had a significant effect (p < 0.0001) on the marginal adaptation. According to two-way ANOVA test, Subgroup (MVb) showed the highest result followed by subgroup (Vb) and subgroub (MVa) and the least was subgroub (Va). Fracture modes showed no significant differences among the subgroups (p = 0.982).

Conclusions
Marginal adaptation of lithium disilicate and zirconia crowns remained clinically acceptable regardless of preparation design. While the modified vertical preparation with a reverse shoulder notably enhanced the fracture resistance of both materials, with zirconia demonstrating superior fracture resistance compared to lithium disilicate with average values exceeding premolar biting force.
Ideal body image and socioeconomic factors: exploring the perceptions of Kenyan women
Authors: Waltsgott Linette , Adedeji Adekunle , Buchcik Johanna 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Background
Non-communicable diseases are an increasing threat in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), and overweight and obesity are affecting people across all socioeconomic groups. Some studies suggest that big body sizes may be perceived as desirable among women in SSA and that high prevalence of obesity and overweight are especially present in low socioeconomic societies. This study explores the role of socioeconomic factors in the perception of the ideal body among Kenyan women and whether perceptions and beliefs about the ideal body should be considered relevant when targeting the prevention of obesity and overweight.

Method
In-depth interviews were conducted with 8 Kenyan women with varying educational backgrounds, aged between 21 and 48, using a qualitative study design. The interviews were conducted in December 2022 and January 2023 in Nairobi, audio-recorded, transcribed and analysed through qualitative content analysis and a coding system using deductive and inductive codes.

Results
The participants reported that conclusions about a person’s health and wealth status are drawn based on different body sizes. Furthermore, traditional views about the ideal body size, societal pressure, as well as the women’s own experience with their body size play a role in the perception of an ideal body.

Conclusion
Small-sized women desire to gain weight as society may view them as weak and sick. Big-sized women aim to reduce weight primarily due to health complications. Nevertheless, traditionally, a big-sized woman is considered strong and wealthy, creating external pressure on women to fulfil this body image—these findings emphasise traditional aspects in designing culturally sensitive prevention and intervention methods to address overweight and obesity.
