Abstract
A one-step biosynthetic pathway for the fabrication of La2O3–LaPO4 nanocomposites (NCs) was developed, employing Charybdis natator. The structure and phase changes of the NCs were confirmed, and their diverse applications were explored. The peaks at 206, 332, and 442 nm in UV-DRS studies confirmed the formation of La2O3–LaPO4 NCs. Fourier transform infrared spectral analysis revealed La–O stretching at 716 cm−1 and the presence of

bands at 532, 560, 578, and 618 cm−1. X-ray diffraction patterns showed a hexagonal phase of La2O3 with peaks at 2θ 11.04 and 28.57 and monoclinic LaPO4 phases at 2θ = 18.79 and 41.88. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data showed binding energy peaks at 836.04 and 852.77 eV, corresponding to 3d5/2 and 3d3/2 of the lanthanum. The average particle size from HR-TEM analysis was 28.95 nm after annealing at 800°C and SAED patterns confirmed their crystalline nature. The high affinity of the NCs towards ctDNA was established by a binding constant value of 2.08 (mg·mL−1)−1. Under UV exposure, 96% degradation efficiency for methyl orange within 120 min at pH 4 was displayed, with a rate constant of 2.72 × 10−2 min−1 affirming their photocatalytic potential. Their biocompatibility was assessed through MTT assay and luminescence characteristics were evaluated.
Power distribution system restoration based on soft open points and islanding by distributed generations
Authors: Kamyab Gholam-Reza 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
A powerful and efficient program for restoring the electrical distribution system by effectively utilizing the maximum capabilities within the system, including soft open points, distributed generation resources, and network configuration changes, can significantly reduce both the quantity and duration of lost loads caused by permanent faults. In this research study, we address the issue of distribution network restoration with a focus on soft open points (SOPs) and intentional islanding using distributed generations. This problem is formulated as a constrained optimization problem in order to determine the optimal distribution network configuration, quality of intentional islanding through DGs, control function of SOPs, and amount of load shedding. The objective is to minimize lost load while minimizing switching operations and preferably minimal islanding. Given that this problem involves multiple complexities such as combinatorial nature, mixed-integer variables, non-linearity, non-convexity along with numerous variables and constraints; we employ an evolutionary method known as simulated annealing (SA) algorithm to solve it without any simplifications or assumptions about convexity. To enhance efficiency during implementation of SA algorithm, Kruskal’s algorithm is utilized for generating radial solutions which restricts search space to feasible solutions resulting in quicker attainment of high-quality optimal solutions. Finally, the outcomes of implementing the suggested approach on the 69-bus IEEE distribution system are presented and examined. It is demonstrated that by leveraging the potential of soft open points in load transfer control and network voltage regulation, along with utilizing intentional islanding capability provided by distributed generation resources, the restoration capability of the distribution system can be greatly enhanced.
Unmanned aerial vehicle-based aerial survey of mines in Shanxi Province based on image data
Authors: Wang Xuanjie 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Accurately monitoring the change of mine area in the mining process is beneficial to mine safety management. This paper briefly introduces the collection of remote sensing images by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and its application in measuring surface mining subsidence and surrounding vegetation in the mining area. A case study was carried out in some mining areas of Nanshan Mountain, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province. The surface mining subsidence value and vegetation-related parameters were measured by comparing the digital elevation model and multi-spectral images collected on May 12 and June 12, 2023. The validity experiment verified that the UAV image data could be used to measure the mining subsidence and vegetation parameters. Moreover, it was found that mining underground coal could lead to significant ground subsidence and pollute the surrounding environment, reducing vegetation. The innovation of this article lies in using UAV-collected remote sensing images instead of manually collecting ground elevation data and vegetation distribution data, providing effective references for safe mining in mining areas.
Branching Time, Fatalism, and Possibilities
Authors: Andreoletti Giacomo 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The concept of branching time is widely utilized to counter fatalistic arguments to the conclusion that whatever will happen is already unavoidable. The most common semantics for branching time, such as Ockhamism, Peirceanism, and Supervaluationism, offer a formal explanation for why fatalistic arguments are flawed. This paper explores a different type of argument, one that borders on fatalism and is concerned with what might possibly happen in the future. In the paper, I show how this type of argument poses a new fatalistic threat to branching time.
Phonotacticon: a cross-linguistic phonotactic database
Authors: Joo Ian , Hsu Yu-Yin 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Phonotacticon is a cross-linguistic database that contains syllabic phonotactic information about spoken lects (linguistic varieties), including the possible forms of the onset, nucleus and coda of each lect, as well as the phonemic and tonemic inventories. In this paper, we present Phonotacticon 1.0, which contains the phonotactic profiles of 516 Eurasian lects retrieved from descriptive literature. The later versions of Phonotacticon will extend beyond Eurasia and will ultimately cover spoken lects in all macroareas. As an example of the research potential of this database in future studies, we have generated from Phonotacticon several descriptive visualizations, such as the distribution of the maximal onset length, to demonstrate the visually discernible areal distribution of certain phonotactic patterns.
Application of semiclassical approximation to stochastic differential equations
Authors: Malyutin Victor , Nurjanov Berdakh 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
A method for calculating the characteristics of stochastic differential equations using semiclassical approximation is proposed. For a stochastic differential equation arising in the study of the pure birth process (Yule process) and the Cox Ingersoll Ross (CIR) model, an analysis of the accuracy of the semiclassical approximation was carried out. This analysis is based on a comparison of approximate values with exact values for the mathematical expectation of a solution to the equation.
Adaptation of rice farmers to aging in Thailand

Published: October 2024

Abstract
As one of the fastest-aging countries globally, Thailand faces unique challenges in its agricultural landscape due to the accelerated aging of its farming population. As rice is the most important crop, it is essential to understand the perceptions of farmers regarding the effects of aging on rice farming and how they adapt to aging. This research examined the adjustments that rice farmers had made in their practices over the past 5 years to cope with this demographic shift. The study utilized survey data collected from 300 rice farmers across two prominent rice-producing provinces in Thailand. The findings revealed that 32% of the surveyed rice farmers had adapted to the challenges posed by aging. The top two adaptive strategies allowed descendants to be more involved in rice farming activities and utilization of labor-saving machinery. To analyze the factors influencing the decision to adapt to aging, a binary probit model was employed. The results indicated that several factors played a positive and significant role in the rice farmers’ decisions. These included the farmer’s age, the size of agricultural land, access to irrigation, land ownership, the farmer’s perception of the impact of aging on rice farming, willingness to learn to use and embrace innovative technology for planting and harvesting, and a reduced number of farming activities performed through custom hiring services. Among these factors, irrigation, land ownership, and the farmer’s perception of the aging impact were found to have a strong influence on the farmer’s adaptation.
On optimal control of coupled mean-field forward-backward stochastic equations
Authors: Mansouri Badreddine , Mezerdi Brahim , Bahlali Khaled 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
We consider a control problem for a mean-field coupled forward-backward
stochastic differential equations, called also McKean–Vlasov equation
(MF-FBSDE). For this type of equations, the coefficients depend not only on the
state of the system, but also on its marginal distributions. They arise
naturally in mean-field control problems and mean-field games. We consider the
relaxed control problem where admissible controls are measure-valued
processes. We prove the existence of a relaxed optimal control by using a
suitable form of Skorokhod representation theorem and Jakubowski’s topology,
on the space of càdlàg functions. We use martingale measure to define
the relaxed state process. Our results extend to MF-FBSDEs those already known
for forward and backward stochastic equations of Itô type.

Identity Claims and the Legal Order: Secular or Religious?
Authors: Padjen Ivan Ladislav 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The problem addressed in this article is the challenge that identity claims stemming from identity politics, commonly recognized as left liberalism, pose to the secularity of the modern legal order. The paper: (1) postulates human dignity as the highest value and assesses the potential of philosophy and law to find a balance among the conflicting demands posed by this value; (2) identifies constitutional principles and/or jus cogens as the basis for the identification and appraisal of identity claims; (3) describes major identity claims embodied in the Istanbul Convention and appraises them on the basis of the principles; (4) ascribes identity politics and its claims to a worldview with traits of a religion, termed culturalism, as their condition. The conclusion proposes alternative decisions (de lege ferenda) more in accord with the principles, most notably with the freedom of thought, conscience and religion.
State-Level Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Policies and Practices in the United States: 2022–2023
Authors: Ruckart Perri Zeitz , Schondelmeyer Rio , Allen Alexis , Allwood Paul 
Published: October 2024

OBJECTIVES
The purpose of this analysis is to better understand laws and practices guiding prevention activities in childhood lead poisoning prevention programs funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

METHODS
In 2022, CDC surveyed 62 funded programs using the Awardee Lead Profile Assessment. Information was collected about childhood lead poisoning-related laws and guidance, surveillance and prevention strategies, and program services including at what blood lead levels (BLLs) various activities are performed. Separately, CDC reviewed state health department websites to obtain information on which states implemented CDC’s updated blood lead reference value.

RESULTS
Awardee Lead Profile Assessment results are only reported for 47 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Almost all programs (96%) have laws requiring reporting of BLLs, and 51% require BLLs be reported electronically to jurisdictional health departments. Most programs (80%) prioritize areas and populations that are high risk for lead poisoning prevention activities. Approximately half of the programs (51%) have a lead elimination plan or goal. Thirty-nine percent of the programs have already implemented policies, laws, or regulations to achieve lead elimination, and 74% are in the Northeast and Midwest regions of the country. As of March 2023, 71% of the programs have implemented CDC’s updated blood lead reference value, and most (65%) did so via guidance for health care providers and laboratories for what BLL should initiate case management and other services for lead-exposed children.

CONCLUSIONS
Almost all programs have mandatory BLL reporting laws, and about two-thirds of the programs updated their BLLs that trigger public health action.
Recently Recalled Children’s Products Due to Lead Hazards
Authors: Allwood Paul , Ruckart Perri Zeitz , Harris Qaiyim 
Published: October 2024

OBJECTIVE
We reviewed recent reports of recalled children’s products contaminated with lead to learn more about what could be done to inform public health partners about the recalls in a timely manner to assist with broader consumer notification for proactive lead poisoning prevention efforts.

METHODS
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention staff reviewed lead-related recall notices for children’s products issued during June 2022 through April 2024. Recall notices were extracted from the Consumer Product Safety Commission using Really Simple Syndication feed technology to identify and capture the most current recall information. Specific product details in the database were extracted and analyzed descriptively to identify response trends and best practices.

RESULTS
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s automated tool identified 30 recalls from Consumer Product Safety Commission. Lead-contaminated toys were the most frequent type of product recalled (n = 11, 37%). Most products were manufactured in China (n = 24, 86%). Products were on the market for an average of 25 months before they were recalled. No injuries were reported. The 30 recalls resulted in a combined number of 914 598 recalled units sold.

CONCLUSIONS
The current approach to protecting children from lead hazards in consumer products could be augmented by timely notifying the public health community about recalls so they can broadly disseminate information through their channels to reduce lead exposure in children. Additional steps to reduce lead contamination in children’s products when sourcing raw materials and components may help to decrease the number of recalls.
Alter-Altars
Authors: Meshel Naphtali S. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Biblical ritual texts reflect a distinction between “consumptive” fires, for the incineration of sacred materials upon an altar, and “destructive” fires, for the incineration of leftovers at a distance from the cultic center. The dichotomy is evidenced by differences in terminology, geography, and legal detail, such that the former are characterized by a high degree of ritualization, and the latter by a low degree of ritualization. Yet this dichotomy reveals an instability inherent in ritual sacrifice: offering materia sacra inevitably generates leftovers, which occupy an ambiguous place within the ritual domain—they are not offerable, but they cannot be disposed of in any which way. The texts examined here responded to this instability with a conceptual shift, whereby destructive fires assimilated many of the features that initially characterized consumptive fires. From the earliest pentateuchal priestly strata through Ezekiel, the Temple Scroll, the Epistle to the Hebrews, and beyond, the data reflect a gradual gravitation toward a new way of thinking about “destructive” fires. They were reconceptualized as mirror-images of the “consumptive” type and were modeled after them in terms of language, geography, and legal detail. From the perspective of a history of ritual, the process analyzed here is part of a larger trajectory whereby ritual residues are reconceptualized as essential components of the cult.
Colonizing Frank Moore Cross: The Dead Sea Scrolls in 1950s Popular Media
Authors: Hughes-Huff Charles 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Early presentations of the Dead Sea Scrolls in popular media relied on orientalist tropes and a narrow Christian horizon to create relevance and prestige for the scrolls, which contributed to strong religious interest in them and a market for unprovenanced Dead Sea Scrolls fragments and forgeries. Such a strategy also constructed public authority for the Bible scholars working on the scrolls. This article treats the colonialist approach in the earliest popular works on the scrolls in the United States, written by Edmund Wilson, Frank Moore Cross, and Alex Small, and shows how the stories they tell set the stage for religious veneration of the scrolls and popular acclaim of the scholars.
Theorizing Laughter and Ethnicity in Philo’s Embassy to Gaius
Authors: Woodward Tommy 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Philo’s Embassy to Gaius (Legat.) narrates anti-Jewish violence in Alexandria (38–41 CE) and the experiences of a Jewish embassy sent to the Roman emperor Gaius to advocate for the rights of Jews in the city. Philo repeatedly brings up laughter during key episodes, using it to characterize his figures and situations, particularly along ethnic lines. Philo suggests that Egyptians have an inherent proclivity toward derision of Jews, whereas Romans only join in this unjust mockery when they inappropriately allow Egyptians to hold influence over them. In doing so, he establishes a narrative that places the blame of the crisis in Alexandria from 38–41 CE firmly on Egyptians and Egyptianness. In this article, I take Philo as a theorist of laughter, following Eva Mroczek’s arguments for “native theory” and Mary Beard’s work on ancient laughter. Taking up Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick’s interrogation of theories as constructed tools with specific effects, I ask what Philo’s theory of laughter does for him. Ultimately, I argue that Philo’s theorization of laughter supports a specific ethnic reasoning, in Denise Kimber Buell’s language, that condemns Egyptianness while exonerating Romanness, perhaps in an attempt to endear his own Jewish community to the Romans who controlled Alexandria.
The Census in Luke 2: Using Josephus to Make Sense of Luke’s Irreconcilable Chronology
Authors: Kochenash Michael 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Luke’s reference to the census administered by Quirinius presents a difficulty to historians, as it places Jesus’s birth ten years later than the synchronisms in Luke 1 and 3 indicate. Because the Lukan narratives sometimes exhibit flexibility with respect to historical chronology (e.g., Acts 5:35–37), it is possible to read the census as signaling something other than the date of Jesus’s birth. I argue that, for an audience familiar with Josephus’s treatment of Judas the Galilean in book 18 of Jewish Antiquities, the alignment of Jesus’s birth with Quirinius’s census can be understood as signaling the Lukan Jesus’s association with the destruction of Jerusalem.
Calidad de vida relacionada con la salud en personas con úlcera venosa
Authors: Alvarez Del Río Rusbert Fernando 
Published: October 2024

Introducción: la úlcera venosa es la herida de origen vascular que más se presenta en la población adulta; afecta la calidad de vida, por lo que se requiere un abordaje interdisciplinario para la atención de las personas que la padecen. Objetivo: describir las variables clínicas y sociales que interfieren en la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud de un grupo de adultos con úlcera venosa. Métodos: estudio observacional de tipo cohorte; incluyó 80 personas evaluadas en tres clínicas de Medellín (Colombia), en quienes se aplicó el instrumento de evaluación Charing Cross Venous Ulcer Questionnaire. Se describieron las variables sociodemográficas y la evolución de la calidad de vida hasta la cicatrización y se construyó un modelo de regresión logística para explicar las variables asociadas a tener la peor calidad de vida. Resultados: el 28,8 % de los participantes obtuvieron 64 o más puntos, es decir, grado de afección alto durante la primera medición de la calidad de vida; en el 68,8 % el puntaje fue 63 o menos, lo que significó afección moderada y solo el 2,4 % tuvo baja afección. Las peores puntuaciones se registraron en mujeres, participantes de mayor edad y quienes tenían mayor compromiso de la herida; la afección involucró las dimensiones Estado emocional, Estética, Función social y Actividades domésticas, aunque hubo evolución favorable de la calidad de vida mientras iba cicatrizando la úlcera. Conclusiones: la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud está altamente afectada en las personas que tienen úlcera venosa, siendo más frecuente en quienes tienen dolor constante, heridas más grandes, de mayor tiempo de antigüedad y aquellos con mala percepción de su salud; por tanto, se requiere oportunamente la intervención profesional e interdisciplinaria en salud para el logro de la cicatrización y del bienestar y para mejorar la calidad de vida.
