Authors: Favilla Christopher G. , Reehal Navpreet , Cummings Stephanie R. , Burdett Rebecca , Stein Laura A. , Shakibajahromi Banafsheh , Yuan Kristy , Sloane Kelly L. , Kasner Scott E.

Background
Stroke knowledge is critical to treatment adherence and poststroke outcomes. Here, we aimed to quantify the impact of a personalized video‐based educational platform to test the hypothesis that it improves patient satisfaction and stroke knowledge.

Methods and Results

In a single‐center pilot randomized trial, all patients with stroke and caregivers received standard stroke education during the hospitalization, but half were randomized to receive access to MyStroke, a personalized educational platform that provided brief videos about their stroke, risk factors, medications, and poststroke lifestyle. Satisfaction, stroke knowledge, and quality of life were assessed 7, 30, and 90 days after discharge. A total of 120 subjects (96 patients and 24 caregivers) were randomized to standard education (n=59) or MyStroke. At 90 days post‐stroke, those who received MyStroke were more likely to be satisfied with the stroke education the received (90% versus 73%,
P
=0.05) and more likely to correctly identify their stroke cause (67% versus 32%,
P
=0.003). However, MyStroke was not associated with a difference in self‐reported quality of life (EuroQol Visual Analogue Scale: 80 versus 75,
P
=0.06) or general stroke knowledge (total Stroke Patient Education Retention: 5 versus 5,
P
=0.47). With respect to secondary end points, MyStroke increased risk factor awareness 7 and 30 days poststroke, but this difference was not significant at 90 days.

Conclusions
The MyStroke personalized video‐based education platform improved patient and caregiver satisfaction while improving some aspects of personalized stroke knowledge without improving general stroke knowledge. A multicenter trial is needed to confirm these results, clarify generalizability, and target clinically relevant metrics such as stroke recurrence or adherence.

Hydro Political Relation in the Eastern Nile Basin
Authors: Mulugeta Getaye , Asress Degu 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Hydropolitical relations have long attracted the world of academia, and hydrohegemony and counter-hydrohegemony frameworks have recently become important in analysing power relations between riparian states. However, little attention has been given to the hydrohegemonic situation of the Nile River. This study tries to analyse this status, specifically in the Eastern Nile Basin. The data, elicited through unstructured interviews from purposively selected informants, has been analysed thematically. The findings reveal that Egypt aspires to be a hegemon in the basin but is not. Despite its use of different coercive and subtle mechanisms to induce ideational or hegemonic compliance, these have not been successful: Ethiopia has not consented to or accepted Egypt’s claim over the Nile. Concomitantly, since the 1990s, Ethiopia’s position has transcended from veiled to overt contest, which anticipates a new order, challenging the monopolistic position of Egypt.
A Survey of American Synagogue Stained Glass
Authors: Cooper Alanna E. 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
This article addresses the lacuna of scholarship on Jewish-American stained glass by presenting a historical overview of this prevalent synagogue art form (1845 to the present). Analysis of key trends reveals Jewish congregations’ engagement with Christian influences by imitating the work of church stained glass in some ways while differentiating in other ways. Jewish artists and congregational leaders have also been in conversation with each other, sharing thematic and design ideas to formulate a loosely shared aesthetic and religious approach towards creating windows for their houses of worship. In accordance with the Second Commandment’s prohibition against creating “graven images,” God in figural form does not appear in synagogue space. Instead, a Jewish technique for eliciting a sense of Divine in the sanctuary has included a repertoire of light-filled images—including torches, lamps, fire, and celestial bodies—to convey a spiritual presence, enhanced by actual light from the sun itself as refracted through the windows.
Mûsār in Prov 19:27 and Sir 6:22
Authors: Reymond Eric D. 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
The difficult text of Prov 19:27 can be explained with the help of Sir 6:22, where explicit wordplay with the word מוּסָר suggests that this word was interpreted not only as the noun “instruction” from the root יסר, but also as a hophal participle from the root סור that may be translated “what is remote, obscure, rejected.”
Animals as Intentional Political Agents and God’s Warriors in Sign-Themed Qurʾānic Narratives
Authors: Kanwal Aroosa , Mansoor Asma 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Taking its cue from the Islamic Ecological Paradigm, deeply rooted in Islamic religious traditions, which emerged more than 1400 years ago, this paper reimagines the human-nonhuman relationship against the backdrop of the arguably assumed superiority of mankind in (Islamic) theological discourses. Using Qurʾānic narratives as a key point of divergence in the natural superiority of man within the idea of vicegerency, we argue that the Qurʾān’s egalitarian ethos presents animals as ‘intentional political agents’ (Pepper 2021: 30) independent of human intercession. This agency enables them to be key players in deciding the outcomes of political conundrums; in so doing, it also rebuts and destabilises arrogant anthropocentric presuppositions associated with the idea of vicegerency. We particularly read, in ‘signs themed’ Qurʾānic narratives, a dynamic relationship between humans and animals through the animal’s role as Allah’s warriors and agents against human oppressors and transgressors. Drawing on the Islamic Ecological Paradigm, Angie Pepper’s idea of intentional political agency and Sarra Tlili’s de-anthropocentric reading of the Qurʾān, we suggest that the Qurʾān robustly invites humans to reflect on the animal world by foregrounding animals as political agents while epitomising human accountability and responsibility towards them instead of establishing a relationship of dominance.
A Disordered Genealogy and a New Family of Greek New Testament Manuscripts
Authors: Patton Andrew J. 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Greek New Testament manuscripts frequently format the genealogy of Jesus in Luke in multiple columns. This format has led copyists to introduce errors in the sequence of names by reading the text in the wrong direction. This article presents five manuscripts of the Gospels with catenae which transmit a disordered genealogy of Jesus. The analysis of the disruptions to the sequence of Jesus’s ancestors allows the reconstruction of their exemplar. The article further identifies two codices without commentaries attesting the same pattern of disorder. The other codices with this form of Luke 3:23–38 and the contents of the five catena manuscripts substantiate that they have a common archetype and form a new family of Greek New Testament manuscripts.
Acceptability and Purity in Acts 10:35
Authors: Akagi Kai 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
δεκτός in Acts 10:35 may be understood as a term from the Jewish purity and consecration system. With a high degree of consistency, Hebrew רצון and רצה are rendered in cultic contexts in the LXX with words of the δεκ- lexeme. While verbs of the δεκ- lexeme are not uncommon prior to the LXX, adjectives of the δεκ-lexeme are uncommon outside of the LXX prior to the NT, establishing the use of δεκ- adjectives in the LXX as the primary context for δεκτός in Acts. This interpretation is consistent with themes of purity and consecration in the Cornelius episode and throughout Luke-Acts.
“When Jobs Are Scarce”
Authors: Korotayev Andrey , Meshcherina Kira , Ustyuzhanin Vadim 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
This study examines the influence of Islam on attitudes toward female labor force participation as reflected in responses to the World Values Survey (WVS) question: “When jobs are scarce, should men have more right to a job than women?”. The authors expect that respondents in Islamic (Muslim-majority) countries will have more positive attitudes toward this statement than respondents in non-Islamic countries. They test the hypothesis that the higher the percentage of Muslims in a given country, the more likely respondents are to agree with this statement. The correlation is in the predicted direction, statistically significant and quite strong. Meanwhile, tests show that respondents in Arab countries show particularly strong support for this statement (significantly stronger than in non-Arab Muslim-majority countries). Based on this, the authors try to discuss possible determinants of such attitudes. Particular support is observed in Arab countries and those non-Arab countries that have experienced a strong Arab influence. These countries can be identified with the Umayyad Caliphate in the past and may have been particularly influenced by non-Islamic elements of Arab culture that are not directly related to Islam.
A Philosophical Reading of Justice and Its Resistance to Social Change among the Igbo of Nigeria
Authors: Anizoba Emmanuel C. 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
This article explores justice among the Igbo of Nigeria through a philosophical lens. Its discussion focuses on how the Igbo idea of justice intermingles with the idea of akadiocha (clean hands), proverbs, names and equal treatment for all, including the ancestors. Personal interviews form the primary sources of data collection while library materials are the secondary sources. The economy of the Igbo people of Nigeria is dynamic and multifaceted, with traditions of commerce, agriculture, manufacturing, and diaspora contributions playing crucial roles in its development and growth. The Igbo concept of “offor” embodies enduring traditions, values, and social structures that resist rapid social change. Its symbolism and significance continue to shape various aspects of Igbo culture, reinforcing a sense of identity and continuity amidst evolving social, economic, and political dynamics. Western justice is a multifaceted philosophical idea that reflects a commitment to fairness, equality, and the rule of law within legal systems influenced by Western philosophical traditions. By examining these differences, we gain insight into the multifaceted understanding of justice within Igbo culture, which encompasses spiritual, ancestral, and communal dimensions beyond Western paradigms.
Does Behavioral Decision Theory Influence the Adoption of Mobile Banking among Customers? Experience from Tanzania
Authors: John Yuslida 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Though the benefits of mobile adoption in banking institutions are extensively recognized, there is a low pace of its adoption among customers. The establishment of behavioral factors that can motivate banking customers to adopt mobile banking has been a concern. Provided that no single framework can fit all sizes, this study builds on past research to invest in behavioral factors among customers toward MB adoption. Through a cross-sectional survey design, 325 questionnaires were distributed among university students in Tanzania to assess customer behavior that can motivate MB adoption. Using structural equation modeling (AMOS 21), the study found that when customers possess judgmental heuristic knowledge that allows them to understand how risks associated with the adoption of MB can be resolved, they are motivated to adopt the innovation. The study recommends the importance of providing knowledge to their customers through various mechanisms and the benefits associated with mobile banking adoption.
Analysis of Digitalization and Sustainable Development in Africa
Authors: Hlali Arbia , Gafsi Nesrine 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Many countries in the world competed to integrate technology in all sectors, and some of them were able to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals in this area. However, African countries face several challenges in the field of digitalization. This article aims to study the results of these difficulties that appeared clearly during the COVID-19 crisis. The study used a SWOT analysis to highlight the status of the digital transformation in Africa. The results recommend that the countries need to integrate the digital innovation into the systems of work, education, healthcare, and environment. Also, it proved that these challenges, especially those related to the digital integration, represents a great obstacle to achieve the goals of sustainable development.
Why the Brazilian Jewish Left Is Not Anti-Zionist
Authors: Huberman Bruno 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
This paper explores the praxis of the Zionist Left in Brazil, particularly during the 2010s. It argues that the Zionist Left, which claims to be a progressive grouping that stands in solidarity with the oppressed people in Palestine and in Brazil, functions in fact as a colonial counterrevolutionary actor against radical-left emancipatory politics. Indeed, the Zionist Left functions as a gatekeeper, blocking sectors of the Jewish community and the Brazilian Left from joining the growing anti-Zionist decolonial movement in Brazil. This paper aims to show how various Zionist Left groups have historically worked with the Zionist elite and the Brazilian state to undermine anti-Zionist communist Jewish alternatives by resorting to fraudulent discourse and even force in order to build support for the Zionist settler-colonial project in Palestine. This paper utilises a Marxist, anti-Zionist and anti-colonial framework in order to provide a counter-hegemonic critique for an emancipatory praxis that rejects colonialism.

Authors: Wang Qiong 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
This paper discusses the historical evolution of Chinese school reform, focusing on the important roles of rational thinking and value reconstruction in the process of reform. Through the review of the historical process of school reform in China, the important milestones of the past reform are determined, which provides the historical background for understanding the reform. This paper analyzes the application of rational thinking in school reform and emphasizes the necessity of accurately identifying and solving difficulties in the process of reform. At the same time, it emphasizes the key role of value reconstruction in the realization of an effective reform and provides a theoretical framework and practical direction. At the macro level, the paper examines the historical evolution of China’s educational goals and analyzes the impact of these changes on school reform. Through the historical perspective, this paper reveals the historical enlightenment in the reform, discusses the intersection of history and value reconstruction, and puts forward the school reform strategy based on the historical perspective. The paper looks forward to the future of school reform based on historical evolution and points out the upcoming challenges and possible directions of reform. In summary, the main proposition of this paper is to effectively promote school reform through rational thinking and value reconstruction, combined with historical perspective. The core elements of the article include historical review, rational analysis, value reconstruction, and macroscopic education objectives. This paper uses the method of historical analysis and literature review to provide guidance and reference for future school reform.
Big Brother Nigeria, Contemporary Youth Culture, and the Question of Nigeria’s Sustainable Future
Authors: Adebayo Abidemi Olufemi 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Big Brother Naija, Nigeria’s localization of the international Big Brother Franchise, is the most subscribed reality show among the Nigerian youth. This is due to its explicit eroticism and lucrative rewards. The show is controversial as the libertine population believes in it while spiritual devotees and culture moralists see the show as social corruption. This study therefore explores the social implications of open eroticism and profligacy on the impressionable youth as this concerns Nigeria’s future sustainability. The research is guided by qualitative research principles and Diana Leat’s conception of Social Change Theory emphasizing culture as pivotal in progressive societal changes. The researcher relied on native intuition for research assertions and digital platforms for accessing videos and commentaries on the reality show. The paper opines that Nigerian youth’s repudiation of due process is injurious to the country’s future. Urgent government’s interventions are inevitable in redirecting the orientation of the Nigerian youth.
Der verarmte missachtete Gelehrte
Authors: Fechner Josephine 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Der mesopotamische “leidende Gerechte” wurde bislang als eine weitestgehend homogene Figur bewertet: als ein gottesfürchtiger und rechtschaffener (aber nicht unfehlbarer!) Mensch, der trotz seiner redlichen Lebensführung unerklärliches Leiden in Form von Krankheiten, sozialem Abstieg und Verarmung ertragen muss. Anhand neuer Textquellen zum “leidenden Gerechten” aus der Brief- und Weisheitsliteratur wird in diesem Beitrag ein spezifischer Typ des “leidenden Gerechten” herausgearbeitet: der seit mindestens der altbabylonischen Zeit dokumentierte verarmte missachtete Gelehrte, oft in Form des abgesetzten königlichen Gelehrten, der neue Erkenntnisse zu den alten Fragen der mesopotamischen Theodizee zu vermitteln vermag: Wer ist (ursächlich) verantwortlich für unerklärliches menschliches Leiden? Nach dem verarmten missachteten Gelehrten ist das de facto die Menschheit selbst! Und wie kann unerklärliches Leiden gelöst, oder besser noch: verhindert werden, wenn nicht (allein) durch Gottesfurcht und Rechtschaffenheit? Theoretisch, indem ein Mensch “ein Haus mit guten Geistern” bewohnt, doch die praktische Umsetzung dieser Empfehlung bleibt schwierig.
The Evidence of Osiris Lord of Neheh-Eternity in Amun Temple B 700 at the Sacred Town of Gebel Barkal, Sudan
Authors: Petacchi Simone 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
This paper focuses on the analysis of a religious text coming from the reused blocks in Amun temple B 700 at the capital of the Napatan Kingdom (713–290 BCE), in the Sudan. This is the first fragmented Osirian hymn attested in Kush, while its integral version was found in Thebes, in the inner walls of the chapel erected by the Divine Adoratrice Ankhnesneferibre at Karnak North. The article presents the content of this hymn and its commentary, investigating the possible origins of the cult of this solarised form of Osiris associated to a local deity such as Dedwen in Nubia.
Wine Cups and the Early Chronology of Apollonia Pontica: Archaic Pottery from the Island of St. Kirik
Authors: Damyanov Margarit 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
In the last 15 years, the excavations at the island of St. Kirik offshore from Sozopol (ancient Apollonia Pontica) on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast have yielded thousands of fragments of Archaic Greek pottery, including a sizeable collection of drinking cups from the last decades of the 7th and the early 6th centuries BC – North Ionian hemispherical cups (“bird bowls”, “meander bowls”, etc.) and early types of South Ionian cups with everted rims (“Ionian cups”). The comparison with the assemblages from Istros, Berezan, Orgame, and Taganrog, all of them presumably earlier than Apollonia – with a traditional foundation date c.610 BC, reveals practically an identical repertoire. A couple of “anomalous” fragments that are even earlier, from the middle or third quarter of the 7th century BC, have parallels only at Berezan. The paper argues that there are grounds to suggest an earlier chronology of Apollonia’s foundation, closer to that of the other early Ionian apoikiai.
Definition as Situated Interpretational Vector
Authors: Engler Steven , Gardiner Mark Q. 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
This short piece responds to the sixteen commentaries included in this special issue of Aries, each of which addressed aspects of our target article, ‘(Re)defining Esotericism: Fluid Definitions, Property Clusters and the Cross-Cultural Debate’. We reaffirm our approach with a metaphor: defining is a process of guiding interpretation in a certain direction from a certain starting point; and academic disciplines, like the study of esotericism, provide especially useful contexts for situating such semantic vectors. The response addresses issues of disciplinary context, the nature of consensus and philosophical views of meaning.
“Meine Stimme auf der Suche nach ihrem Weg” – Eine Rekonstruktion des Personalismus M. A. Lahbabis aus der Erfahrung von Gefangenschaft und Exil
Authors: Kneer Markus 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
The postcolonial discourse in the Maghrib was dominated by the political Left for a long time. Thus, other approaches of coming to terms with the experience of colonialism were marginalized. It was Abdelkébir Khatibi’s book Maghreb Pluriel which made it possible to acknowledge these other discourses in their own way of criticizing colonialism, without reading them from the beginning with a hermeneutics of suspicion. In establishing one of these discourses the founder of the modern Moroccan academic philosophy, Mohamed Aziz Lahbabi, played a substantial role: His experience of depersonalization during the colonial period was the starting point for his search of being a person, and for his personalist philosophy.
Beyond Hagiography: Gender and Violence in the Earliest Liturgy for Pelagius
Authors: Ihnat Kati 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Pelagius is most famously known as the saint who was martyred by the tenth-century emir of Córdoba for not submitting to his advances. The story has fascinated historians of gender and sexuality for the ways in which it appears to challenge gendered standards of sanctity. But was this how Pelagius was remembered in the sources with which he was first venerated? This article looks beyond the hagiographical narrative that has mostly concerned historians to the existing liturgies for the saint as celebrated according to the Old Hispanic Rite, with a Mass and three distinct offices surviving in multiple manuscripts from early medieval Iberia. Close study of the liturgy reveals how liturgists consciously shaped the identity of Pelagius, borrowing materials and tropes from both male and female saints in order to anchor an unusual contemporary saint in old models.
