Christianity, The Other, and The Holocaust
Authors: Steele Michael R. 
Published: September 2024

According to the author, Christianity offers a powerful system of rewards and incentives to create cultural uniformity. Those who do not join in this cultural uniformity become anathematized, oppressed, marginalized, and ultimately removed from the Christian circle of moral obligation. Using culture studies as a framework for analysis, Steele investigates the ways in which Christianity created cultural conditions based on a theology of violence and the use of sacred violence to foster behaviors that would lead to the involvement of millions of perpetrators and bystanders during the many instances of extreme violence used against the Other over the centuries. As the original Disconfirming Other in the Christian cultural world, Jews often served as the primary target. Thus, there was a system of definitions, rewards, incentives, and victims already in place when the Nazis came to power. Calling for a re-evaluation of the cultural practices and values that have developed within Christianity over time, this important new book helps account for the phenomenon of the Nazi perpetrators and bystanders during the Holocaust.
Framing the Holocaust as a late but logical development in a long series of violent responses by Christianity to the Other—those who stand outside the Christian world, either by geographical accident, religious tradition, or some other factor—the author attempts to show how the Holocaust, while not a specifically Christian event, was nevertheless sanctioned and conditioned by other events in the history of Christianity. Using culture studies to frame his analysis, Steele focuses on historical antecedents that help account for the apathy of bystanders and point to the preexistence of a moral framework supporting and empowering the perpetrators of the Holocaust. This unique perspective concludes that the Nazis invented almost nothing with regard to the Shoah, and that, instead, a long-standing insistence on cultural hegemony played a much bigger role in the attempted destruction of the Jewish community.
Churches of Christ
Authors: Hughes Richard T. 
Published: September 2024

This volume tells the story of the Churches of Christ, one of three major denominations that emerged in the United States from a religious movement led by Alexander Campbell and Barton W. Stone in the early 19th century. Beginning as an effort to provide a basis on which all Christians in America could unite, the leaders of the movement relied on the faith and practice of the primitive church. Ironically, this unity movement eventually divided precisely along the lines of its original agenda, as the Churches of Christ rallied around the restorationist banner while the Disciples of Christ gathered around the ecumenical cause. Yet, having begun as a countercultural sect, the Churches of Christ emerged in the 20th century as a culture-affirming denomination. This brief history, together with biographical sketches of major leaders, provides a complete overview of the denomination in America.
The book begins with a concise yet detailed history of the denomination's beginnings in the early 19th century. Tracing the influence of such leaders as Stone and Campbell, the authors chronicle the triumphs and conflicts of the denomination through the 19th century and its reemergence and renewal in the 20th century. The biographical dictionary of leaders in the Churches of Christ rounds out the second half of the book, and a chronology of important events in the history of the denomination offers a quick reference guide. A detailed bibliographic essay concludes the book and points readers to further readings about the Churches of Christ.

Garth Brooks in… The Life of Chris Gaines
Authors: Deusner Stephen 
Published: September 2024

Garth Brooks was the best-selling country artist of the 1990s.
Actually, he was the best-selling artist of the ‘90s period. So why did he close out that triumphant decade by transforming into a fictional rocker named Chris Gaines? He devised an outrageous backstory for the character—complete with sex addiction, facial reconstructive surgery, wildfires, and chainsaws—and even recorded a “pre-soundtrack” to a forthcoming film about Gaines. But Garth Brooks… In the Life of Chris Gaines, which doubled as a retrospective of his alter ego’s long career, was branded a fiasco before it even hit stores. It sold poorly, the film was shelved, and Garth announced his retirement the next year. Chris Gaines disappeared forever.
Or did he? Out of print since its release and absent on streaming services, the album has somehow grown from a career-derailing flop into a cult obsession. Only one world-renowned critic is brave enough to tell the full story of Chris Gaines. It’s a sordid, puzzling tale of intrigue and conspiracy that poses chilling questions: Which one of them is real? Chris or Garth? Why did one of them title an album Fornucopia? And just who does this Stephen Deusner guy think he is? Well…
Rewriting Alpine Orientalism
Authors: Müller Eva-Maria 
Published: September 2024

This cross-disciplinary study combines postcolonial, mountain, and tourism studies to explore how meaning about mountains is articulated, generated, asserted and contested within the global circuits of mountain tourism.
Rewriting Alpine Orientalismis an open access book that explores how meaning about mountains is articulated, generated, asserted and contested within the global circuits of mountain tourism. Tracing Orientalist and colonial legacies in the project of mountain travel across times, genres and geographies, this book presents a framework capable of analysing and critiquing both particular colonial codifications written onto mountains and the interventions that rewrite mountain tourism.
This comparative study bridges the gap between literary and cultural studies and the social and natural sciences with interdisciplinary research across fields such as travel writing, mountain literature, mountaineering history, and ecocriticism, and postcolonial, tourism and gender studies. Eva-Maria Müller examines Orientalist discourse through a wide range of historical and contemporary mountain texts – such as exploration reports, newspaper articles, guidebooks, diaries, letters and contemporary works of fiction from Angie Abdou, Thomas Wharton, Elfriede Jelinek and Felix Mitterer – in a study that enhances our understanding of the role of representation in changing the social real of alpine spaces.

Comparative analysis of ultrasonography results in COVID-19-associated ienteropathy, ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease
Authors: Boika M. A. , Yurkovskiy A. M. 
Published: September 2024

Objective. The objective of the analysis is to conduct a comparative analysis of the results of ultrasound examinations of the intestines for COVID-19, ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, and to identify ultrasound criteria that are most specific for COVID-associated lesions.Materials and methods. To achieve this objective, ultrasound data from 50 patients with COVID-associated ienteropathy (age range 18-73 years), 4 patients with Crohn’s disease and 4 patients with ulcerative colitis (age range 20-38 years) were compared.Results. A highly specific ultrasound criterion for COVID-19-associated ienteropathy has been identified (Youden index ‒ 1.0, AUC ‒ 95% CI (0.87 ‒1.0); specificity ‒ 95% CI (85.2 ‒ 100.0)), namely: the presence of small areas of reduced echogenicity (with wavy contours) in the thickness of the mucous membrane and submucosal plate, which are the ultrasound equivalent of zones of lymphoid infiltration.Conclusion. It is arguable that the presence of small areas of reduced echogenicity (with wavy contours) in the thickness of the mucous membrane and submucosal plate as an ultrasound sign of COVID-19-associated ienteropathy, which is not found in other inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.

Objective. To study the microbial diversity of the respiratory microbiota in patients with undifferentiated pathological changes in the lungs.Materials and methods. The study of biopsy material obtained during video-assisted thoracoscopic lung resection was conducted in 36 patients with undifferentiated pathological changes in the lungs. The study of the microbial diversity of the lungs was carried out by high-performance sequencing using the MiSeq sequencer (Illumina, USA) using a protocol based on the analysis of variable regions of the 16s rRNA gene.Results. The density and microbial diversity of the pulmonary microbiota of the obtained samples were studied. In all patient samples, the dominant taxa at the Phylum level are Proteobacteria (the median relative representation of the taxon is more than 90%); the Phylums Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Actinobacteria are represented in smaller numbers, and the Phylums Fusobacteria and Cyanobacteria – only in some groups. Fusobacteria were found only in patients with lung sarcoidosis, and only in this group the median relative representation of the Phylum Actinobacteria was much higher than in the rest (p<0.05). The Genuses Stenotrophomonas and Delftia are the most widely represented in all samples. A bacterium of the Genus Pseudomonas has been found in patients with lung cancer. Conclusion. Proteobacteria were a significantly predominant Phylum of microbiota in patients with undifferentiated pathological changes in the lungs; Fusobacteria were found only in patients with lung sarcoidosis, and only in this group the median relative representation of the Actinobacteria were much higher than in the other groups. The greatest taxonomic diversity at the Genus level was observed in patients with lung sarcoidosis. Keywords: microbiota, lungs, tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, lung cancer> ˂ 0.05). The Genuses Stenotrophomonas and Delftia are the most widely represented in all samples. A bacterium of the Genus Pseudomonas has been found in patients with lung cancer.Conclusion.

Published: September 2024

Objective. To establish correlations between laboratory parameters and the degree of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic HBV infection.Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of clinical and laboratory data of 107 hospitalized patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) was carried out. During the study, indicators of a general blood count, biochemical blood test and coagulogram were studied, and predictive indices FIB-4 and APRI were calculated. The presence of correlations between laboratory parameters, predictive indices and the degree of liver fibrosis in patients with CHB was assessed.Results. In patients with F3 and F4, there was an increase in the level of ESR, total bilirubin, AST, ALP, GGTP and INR, and a decrease in the level of red blood cells, platelets and creatinine. The FIB-4 and APRI index values increased with the progression of fibrosis and had a direct correlation with each other. A direct correlation has been established between F (METAVIR) and the FIB-4, APRI indices, ALT, AST, GGTP, ALP, APTT, PT and INR levels. An inverse relationship was observed between the levels of red blood cells, hemoglobin, leukocytes, platelets and the stage of fibrosis. There was no correlation between the stage of fibrosis and the level of total bilirubin, creatinine, total protein and fibrinogen.Conclusion. Correlations have been established between individual laboratory parameters and the stage of liver fibrosis, which can serve as additional markers in the non-invasive diagnosis of liver fibrosis in patients with CHB.

Este artigo buscou descrever o papel da enfermagem nas intervenções multidisciplinares para a assistência à hidrocefalia congênita, visando contribuir para a melhoria dos cuidados e o bem-estar do recém-nascido afetado por essa condição. Trata-se de um revisão de literatura com abordagem qualitativa buscadas nas bases de dados relevantes, como United States National Library of Medicine (PUBMED), Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo) e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) através das palavras-chaves: “Enfermagem” [and] “Hidrocefalia recém-nascidos” [and] cuidados de enfermagem” no período de 2019 a 2023. Observou-se que, no cuidado ao recém-nascido com hidrocefalia, destaca-se a relevância do processo de Sistematização da Assistência de Enfermagem (SAE), definido como um processo planejado e organizado, de responsabilidade do enfermeiro. Nota-se que, a hidrocefalia não apenas exige abordagens médicas e cirúrgicas avançadas, mas também destaca a importância da assistência de enfermagem especializada, do suporte emocional aos pais e da coordenação eficaz dos cuidados a longo prazo. A colaboração entre profissionais de saúde e familiares é essencial para enfrentar os desafios e promover o bem-estar e a qualidade de vida das pessoas afetadas por essa condição complexa.
Assessing the tropical Atlantic biogeochemical processes in the Norwegian Earth System Model

Published: September 2024

Abstract. State-of-the-art Earth system models exhibit large biases in their representation of the tropical Atlantic hydrography, with potential large impacts on both climate and ocean biogeochemistry projections. This study investigates how biases in model physics influence marine biogeochemical processes in the tropical Atlantic using the Norwegian Earth System Model (NorESM). We assess four different configurations of NorESM: NorESM1 is taken as benchmark (NorESM1-CTL) that we compare against the simulations with (1) a physical bias correction and against (2 and 3) two configurations of the latest version of NorESM with improved physical and biogeochemical parameterizations with low and intermediate atmospheric resolutions, respectively. With respect to NorESM1-CTL, the annual-mean sea surface temperature (SST) bias is reduced largely in the first simulation and comparably in the third simulation in the equatorial and southeastern Atlantic. In addition, the SST seasonal cycle is improved in all three simulations, resulting in more realistic development of the Atlantic Cold Tongue in terms of location and timing. Corresponding to the cold tongue seasonal cycle, the marine primary production in the equatorial Atlantic is also improved, and the Atlantic summer bloom is particularly well represented during June to September in all three simulations. The more realistic summer bloom can be related to the well-represented shallow thermocline and associated nitrate supply from the subsurface ocean at the Equator. The climatological intense outgassing of air–sea CO2 flux in the western basin is also improved in all three simulations. Improvements in the climatology mean state also lead to better representation of primary production and air–sea CO2 interannual variability associated with the Atlantic Niño and Niña events. We stress that the physical process and its improvement are responsible for modelling the marine biogeochemical process because the first simulations, where only climatological surface ocean dynamics are corrected, provide more improvements in terms of marine biogeochemical processes.
