How Jesus became Black: Kongo’s Discovery of its Role in the Creation and Nativity Stories
Authors: Thornton John Kelly 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
The Kingdom of Kongo is notable for its conversion to Christianity in the late fifteenth century and as continuing as a Christian country for the rest of its independent existence. Its conversion and the propagation and maintenance are widely believed to be the work of foreign missionaries, disrupted by a nationalist reconception of Christian history by D Beatriz Kimpa Vita, a prophetess possessed by Saint Anthony in 1704. New documentary discoveries force a new understanding of this process, placing emphasis on the reworking of the Creation and Nativity as taking place in Kongo, not with D Beatriz’ possessed statements in the eighteenth century, but in the sixteenth century at the hands of Kongolese intellectuals and school masters reworking European written source material, such as the Black Madonna at the church of Our Lady of Guadalupe, and maps of the Garden of Eden.
Mobilités transnationales et changement religieux
Authors: Mossière Géraldine 
Published: August 2024

Résumé
Cet article traite de la conversion à l’islam comme d’une expérience initiatique qui s’inscrit dans le parcours de mobilité transnationale de jeunes Français séjournant au Québec. En nous appuyant sur des données ethnographiques collectées auprès de jeunes adoptant des croyances et pratiques liées à l’islam, nous montrons que la mobilité physique agit parfois comme un déclencheur pour rendre concrètes une situation et une identification auparavant vécues de façon floue ou non assumée. Cette mobilité s’appuie sur des mythscapes (Bell) c’est-à-dire des représentations spécifiques des pays de départ, des pays visités et des pays de destination nourris de fantasmes, d’exotisme, de désirs mais aussi de mal-être, et de désirs d’un ailleurs. L’étude de quelques cas suggère que ce mouvement participe de l’émergence d’une sous-culture que les jeunes rencontrés décrivent en recourant aux narratifs de l’« inter- » (interreligieux, intersectionnel). Ces vignettes offrent un aperçu des multiples façons dont les jeunes s’approprient les ressources et les outils offerts par la mondialisation en s’attribuant certaines identifications religieuses mobiles.
Differential responses of summer pruning timing on growth, quality and yield of low chill peach
Authors: Sharma Rohit , Banyal Ajay Kumar , Sharma Sunny 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Summer pruning is an important horticultural operation that is performed to manipulate tree response so as to make it better manageable without a reduction in yield and fruit quality. But the timing is also an important factor in performing this event. Keeping in view the above facts, the present investigation was carried out to elucidate the ‘differential response of summer pruning timing on cropping behavior in low-chill peach cvs. Florida Prince and Shan-i-Punjab’. The experiment was carried out at the experimental orchard of the Department of Fruit Science, College of Horticulture and Forestry, Neri, Hamirpur (HP) during the years 2018–2019 and 2019–2020. There are six treatments in the experiment, each with four replications. T1: no pruning; T2: 25% summer pruning on July 10th + winter pruning (WP); T3: 25% summer pruning on July 20th +WP; T4: 25% summer pruning on July 30th +WP; T5: 25% summer pruning on August 10th +WP); and T6: standard winter pruning (SWP). According to the study’s findings, combining 25% summer pruning on July 10th with winter pruning resulted in the greatest improvement in terms of vegetative, flowering or blooming, and qualitative parameters, namely fruit weight, fruit shape index, total soluble solid, and sugar content. However, Florida Prince showed positive enhancement of various characteristics and performed better than Shan-i-Punjab.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
In recent years, interest in three-dimensional visualizations as a complement to traditional text-based humanities scholarship has surged. These visualizations allow for new analysis methods and may serve as an interpretative tool, potentially leading to new insights for creators and viewers. However, contrary to more traditional publications, a myriad of preservation issues occurs from the moment a 3D visualization is created. This data paper illustrates the complexity of preserving 3D visualizations in a humanities context using six interactive visualizations produced in the Dynamic Drawings in Enhanced Publications project (2013). The visualizations serve as a concrete case study for the restoration, preservation and renewed publication of 3D content. This data paper sketches the general preservation challenges that led to non-functional interactive visualizations. The authors detail the process of restoring the visualizations from the original data and opening them up for potential reuse. To underline reuse possibilities, the authors provide tentative examples for vr and ar platforms. After presenting the dataset, they discuss the implications of the restoration process for future preservation practices of unstable interactive content. The authors introduce a ‘composite elements approach’, combining visual and non-visual levels of documentation necessary for the maintenance of interactive visualizations.
Poetic Anarchism
Authors: Bernal María Clara 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
In 1966, the Colombian poet Gonzalo Arango published the article “Jazz para una misa negra por el alma de André Breton” [Jazz for a Black Mass for the Soul of André Breton] in Bogotá. In the text, he paid homage to the French poet and declared him “an impossible corpse”. Arango was the founder of the literary and artistic avant-garde movement called Nadaísmo that surfaced in Colombia in the 1950s. Its members were self-declared “cultural guerrillas” and established as their target moralism in politics, aesthetics, and social issues using the arts as their weapon. This article explores Nadaísmo’s ideological links to French Surrealism and its revolutionary spirit by examining the life of the group and the ideas exposed in the first and second nadaist manifestos.

Published: August 2024

Purpose Severe obesity is a barrier to listing for kidney transplantation due to concern for poor outcomes. This study aims to compare bariatric surgery with medical weight loss as a means of achieving weight loss and subsequent listing for renal transplant. We hypothesize that bariatric surgery will induce greater frequency of listing for transplant within 18 months of study initiation. Materials and Methods We performed a randomized study of metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) vs medical weight loss (MM) in patients on dialysis with a body mass index (BMI) of 40-55 kg/m2. The primary outcome was suitability for renal transplant within 18 months of initiating treatment. Secondary outcomes included weight loss, mortality, and complications. Results Twenty patients enrolled, only 9 (5 MBS, 4 MM) received treatment. Treated groups did not differ in age, gender, or race ( P ≥ .44). There was no statistically significant difference in the primary endpoint: 2 MBS (40%) and 1 MM (25%) listed for transplant ≤18 months ( P = 1.00). With additional time, 100% MBS and 25% MM patients achieved listing status ( P = .048); 100% of MBS and 0 MM received kidney transplants to date ( P = .008). Weight, weight loss, and BMI trajectories differed between the groups ( P ≤ .002). One death from COVID-19 occurred in the MM group, and 1 MBS patient had a myocardial infarction 3.75 years after baseline evaluation. Conclusion These results suggest MBS is superior to MM in achieving weight loss prior to listing for kidney transplantation. Larger studies are needed to ensure the safety profile is acceptable in patients with ESRD undergoing bariatric surgery.
Pneumococcal Vaccination Rates and Associated Meningitis Events in Patients With Acute Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak
Authors: Lamore Raymond F. , Kafisheh Hannah , Mangan Lauren E. 
Published: August 2024

Objective: To characterize the institutional utilization of pneumococcal vaccination during an index hospital admission for acute cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage and associated infectious and clinical outcomes. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients hospitalized and treated for an acute CSF leak from January 2017 to June 2022. The primary outcome evaluated the incidence of pneumococcal vaccination during the index admission in patients without prior vaccination. Secondary outcomes evaluated the incidence of meningitis, time from CSF leak identification to meningitis, and mortality within 1 year of the index admission. Results: A total of 94 patients were included. Nineteen (20.2%) patients received pneumococcal vaccination prior to admission. Of the 75 patients without prior vaccination, 4 (5.3%) patients received vaccination during the admission. Meningitis occurred in 5/94 (5.3%) patients and occurred 4-24 days from CSF leak identification. Mortality was observed in 9/94 (9.6%) patients. None of the meningitis cases were attributed to culture-positive findings of pneumococcal disease. Conclusions: The results of this study demonstrate an overall low institutional utilization of pneumococcal vaccination in patients with an acute CSF leak. Infectious and clinical outcomes reflected comparable to previous reported literature. Further evaluation into the risk-benefit relationship of vaccination omission is warranted in this patient population.
Investigation of shear thickening fluid (STF) impregnated interlayer hybrid composites under low-velocity impact loading
Authors: Saricam Canan , Okur Nazan 
Published: August 2024

This study deals with the development of interlayer hybrid composites with improved low-velocity impact response. In the composites produced using the hand lay-up technique, glass, carbon, and Kevlar woven fabrics were used as reinforcement materials and epoxy resin was used as the matrix material. Shear thickening fluid (STF) was impregnated into the fabric for enhancing their performance. The effect of hybridization with different stacking sequences and the impregnation of STF on the peak load, deflection at peak load, energy absorption, impact strength, and damage degree were investigated. All samples were subjected to 3.12 m/s and 4.42 m/s impact velocities using a drop-weight impact tester applying 200J and 400J impact energy levels, respectively. The results revealed that in samples containing neat fabrics, the performances of the pure Kevlar samples were much better in comparison to hybrid samples, especially under high impact energy. However, STF significantly improved the impact strength and energy absorption (up to 30 times) of all samples, including hybrid ones. On the other hand, as the impact energy increased, the use of a Kevlar reinforced plate on the impact surface was crucial, providing higher energy absorption, and no perforation was observed since most of the energy was required to initiate the damage. In the samples with Kevlar in the intermediate layer, however, the majority of the impact energy caused propagation and expansion of the damage. According to the findings, up to 50% cost savings were achieved in STF-impregnated hybrid samples containing Kevlar.
Evaluation of the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy on tinnitus
Authors: Bal Fatih 
Published: August 2024

Objective This research aims to examine the effects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) on tinnitus in individuals aged 18-60 years. Methods Thirty participants with subjective tinnitus for at least six months were included a randomized controlled trial was conducted with 15 participants in the experimental group and 15 in the control group, with pre-test and post-test measurements. The experimental group received eight CBT sessions for eight weeks. Data were collected using Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test were used to compare scores between experimental and control groups before and after the intervention. Results A within-group difference was found between total scores on THI and VAS before and after CBT in the experimental (z = −3.241, P = 0.001), but not in the control group (z = −1.764, P = 0.078). Following the intervention, there was a significant between-group difference on the THI Emotional, Catastrophic, and Functional tinnitus subscale scores, favoring the experimental group. Conclusions CBT significantly reduced tinnitus level, severity, duration, frequency, discomfort, tinnitus-related attention deficit, and sleep problems. Further studies are needed to replicate these results in other populations.

Authors: Heidari Nahid , Naji Sayed Ali , Abdullahzadeh Mehrdad 
Published: August 2024

Introduction: The family plays a crucial role in shaping children’s identity and understanding of gender-based roles. This study aims to explore the experiences of Iranian transgender individuals with their families’ reactions to their transgender identity disclosure. Methods: In 2018, nurse researchers conducted this qualitative study on 11 transgender individuals in Iran using a phenomenological approach, targeted and snowball sampling, and Colaizzi’s seven-step method for data analysis. Rigor was ensured by adhering to Lincoln and Guba’s standards. Results: The study found varied reactions to transgender children among Iranian families, including abuse to avoid stigma. The study revealed two main themes, maladaptive and adaptive reactions, and identified six categories: denial of reality, mourning, coercion, deprivation, support out of necessity, and compromise of family reactions. Discussion: Education and support systems may help address the cultural challenges that face families with transgender children. The findings offer insights for enhancing public awareness of the transgender community in conservative cultures.

Published: August 2024

Aims: Childhood family environment is associated with adulthood health behaviours and cardiovascular health, but limited data are available concerning the relationship between childhood family environment and adulthood haemodynamic determinants of blood pressure. We evaluated how childhood family environment predicts adulthood systemic haemodynamics. Methods: The sample came from the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study ( n=1554–1620). Childhood family environment (1980) was assessed with four cumulative risk scores: socioeconomic family risk, risky emotional family atmosphere, stressful life events, and parents’ risky health behaviours. Haemodynamic outcomes in 2007 (participants being 30–45 year-olds) included stroke volume index, systemic vascular resistance index, cardiac output index and heart rate. Analyses were adjusted for childhood (1980) cardiovascular risk factors (high-density lipoprotein and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, insulin, body mass index and systolic blood pressure); and adulthood (2007) health behaviours (alcohol consumption, smoking, physical activity); and finally for adulthood cardiovascular risk factors. Results: When adjusted for age and sex, high socioeconomic family risk predicted lower stroke volume index ( P=0.001), higher heart rate ( P=0.001) and higher systemic vascular resistance index ( P=0.030). These associations remained after controlling for childhood cardiovascular covariates or adulthood health behaviours ( P⩽0.02 for all) but diluted after controlling for adulthood cardiovascular risk factors. The other childhood cumulative risk scores (stressful life events, risky emotional atmosphere, or parents’ risky health behaviour) did not predict adulthood haemodynamic outcomes. Conclusions: High childhood socioeconomic family risk predicted adulthood haemodynamic outcomes independently of childhood cardiovascular risk factors and adulthood health behaviours, while other childhood psychosocial adversities were not associated with cardiovascular function in adulthood.

Background Early detection of abdominal hemorrhage via ultrasound has life-saving implications for military and civilian trauma. However, strict adherence to light discipline may prohibit the use of ultrasound devices in the deployed setting. Additionally, current night vision devices remain noncompatible with ultrasound technology. This study sought to assess an innovative night vision device with ultrasound capable picture-in-picture display via a intraabdominal hemorrhage model to identify noncompressible truncal hemorrhage in blackout conditions. Methods 8 post mortem fetal porcine specimens were used and divided into 2 groups: intrabdominal hemorrhage (n = 4) vs no hemorrhage (n = 4). Intrabdominal hemorrhage was modeled via direct injection of 200 mL of normal saline into the peritoneal cavity. Under blackout conditions, 5 participants performed a focused assessment with sonography for trauma (FAST) exam on each model using the prototype ultrasound-capable night vision device. Results Of the 40 FAST exams performed, 95% (N = 38) resulted in the correct identification of intraabdominal hemorrhage. Of the incorrectly identified exams, both were false positives resulting in a 100% sensitivity, 90% specificity, 91% positive predictive value, and a 100% negative predictive value. All participants noted the novel device was easy to use and provided superior visualization for performing FAST exams under blackout conditions. Conclusion The ultrasound-enabled night vision prototype demonstrated promising results in identifying noncompressible truncal hemorrhage while maintaining strict light discipline in blackout conditions. Further research efforts should be directed at assessing the ability of providers to perform procedures in blackout conditions using the ultrasound-enabled prototype night vision device.

Published: August 2024

Objective Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a growing public health problem worldwide. Respecting the significance of the modified Lund-Kennedy (MLK) score in rhinitis assessment, we delved into its evaluation value on the sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) efficacy in AR patients. Methods Totally 100 AR patients were enrolled, with pre- and post-SLIT MLK score, total nasal symptoms score (TNSS), total medication score (TMS), visual analogue scale (VAS), inflammatory cytokines, and immune function-related parameters compared. The correlations of MLK score with TNSS/TMS/VAS, as well as with IL-4/INF-γ/eosinophil (EOS)/percentage/specific immunoglobulin (sIgE)/sIgG were assessed by Spearman correlation analysis. The value of MLK score on assessing SLIT efficacy in AR patients was analyzed. Results SLIT treatment reduced MLK/TNSS/TMS/VAS scores, abated IL-4 level/EOS percentage/sIgE, and elevated INF-γ/sIgG levels. MLK score was positively correlated with pre- and post-SLIT TNSS score (rpre−treatment = 0.592, rpost−treatment = 0.756), TMS score (rpre−treatment = 0.385, rpost−treatment = 0.718), VAS score (rpre−treatment = 0.369, rpost−treatment = 0.704), IL-4 (rpre−treatment = 0.553, rpost−treatment = 0.639), EOS percentage (rpre−treatment = 0.511, rpost−treatment = 0.632), and sIgE (rpre−treatment = 0.472, rpost−treatment = 0.524), and negatively with INF-γ (rpre−treatment = −0.418, rpost−treatment = −0.578) and sIgG4 (rpre−treatment = −0.460, rpost−treatment = −0.613). The MLK score had an area under curve of 0.846 (77.01% sensitivity, 76.92% specificity, 4 cut-off value) and 0.944 (91.67% sensitivity, 92.11% specificity, 2 cut-off value) for assessing SLIT treatment as effective and markedly effective for the patients, respectively. Conclusion The MLK score had good evaluation value on the efficacy of SLIT treatment in AR patients.
Description of the Bluffing Phenomenon in the Untrusted Seller–Buyer Relationship via the Wigner Function of the q-Deformed Quantum Harmonic Oscillator Model
Authors: Jafarov E. I. 
Published: August 2024

The [Formula: see text]-deformed quantum harmonic oscillator model is applied to the description of the untrusted seller–buyer relationship. We assumed that the demand law by the buyer is described through the square modulus of the wavefunctions of the [Formula: see text]-oscillator model in the position representation, whereas the supply law by the seller is described through the square modulus of the wavefunctions in the momentum representation. Thus, their untrusted relationship is described through the [Formula: see text]-oscillator Wigner function of the stationary states in terms of the Al Salam-Chihara polynomials. As an example, we study the first excited state and show that the finite-difference differentiation parameter [Formula: see text] or the deformation parameter [Formula: see text] generated through it can be considered as a parameter defining the level of the bluffing phenomenon in this untrusted relationship.
