الملخــص
‫مدار هذه الورقة على دراسة نقديّة تفهّمية للعلاقة بين القرآن والتأويل، أي العلاقة بين النص الديني المقدس ومنهج مقاربته. من ثم صُغنَا عملنا هذا في ثلاثة محاور، بيّنًّا في أوّلها أهم ملامح التأويلية التقليدية في الفكر الإسلامي (التمييز بين التفسير والتأويل، التأويل من منظور فلسفي، طرائق استخلاص المعنى لدى مفسّري القرآن، الميثاق الرابط بين المفسّر وقارئه من خلال مقدّمات التفسير القرآني)، وتناولنا في ثانيها تأويل القرآن من منظور التأويلية الجديدة من جهتي المنجز والمأمول إنجازه (أهمّ منعطفات تاريخ التأويل في الفكر الفلسفي الغربي، وظيفة التأويل، في العلاقة بين التفسير والفهم، خصائص المعنى من منظور التأويلية)، ثم أفردنا ثالثها بتقديم مقترحات من أجل فتح أفق جديد للتأويل القرآني (نسبيّة المعنى القرآني، التأويل باعتباره فعل قراءة ينشد مقصد النص الديني لا حَرْفيّته، نجاعة التأويل في سياق القراءة المجهرية لآية أو لمقطع قرآني). وبناء على ما تقدّم، صحّ عندنا القول بأنّه لا يوجد تأويل نهائيّ أخير للقرآن، بل يوجد باستمرار تأويل آخر له.‬
One Classroom, Different Perspectives: Promoting Mutual Understanding between “Secular” and “Religious” Students of Islamic Studies in Russia and the United States
Authors: Knysh Alexander 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
The article discusses the results from several co-taught courses in Islamic studies shared as a virtual exchange between the University of Michigan (U-M), USA, and Saint Petersburg State University (SPbU), Russian Federation. These courses were designed and taught to expand the range of perspectives to which students were exposed and allow them to learn how their study subject is conceptualized and studied by their peers in the partner country. The SPbU student cohort included graduates of Islamic religious colleges from different regions of the Russian Federation who shared the classroom with “secular” university students specializing in Islamic studies. The U-M cohort included students of various religious, ethnic, and academic backgrounds. In addition to weekly online meetings, the international teams met virtually outside class to prepare questions for weekly synchronous discussions and to work on a group presentation to be delivered at the end of the semester.
Eye Formation and Energetics in a Dry Model of Hurricane-Like Vortices
Authors: Dormy Emmanuel , Oruba Ludivine , Emanuel Kerry 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
We investigate the mechanism for eye formation in hurricane-like vortices, using a formulation adapted from Oruba, Davidson, and Dormy. Numerical simulations are performed using an axisymmetric model of dry rotating Rayleigh–Bénard convection under the Boussinesq approximation. The fluxes of heat and momentum at the sea surface are described using the bulk aerodynamic formula. A simplified model for radiative cooling is also implemented. We find that the mechanism for eye formation introduced in Oruba et al., relying on vorticity stripping from the boundary layer, is robust in dry hurricane-like vortices. Furthermore, with these boundary conditions, the structure of the flow is closer to the flow of actual tropical cyclones. The applicability of this mechanism to the moist case however remains uncertain and deserves further study. Finally, energy budgets, obtained either by a heat engine approach or by a direct estimation of the work of buoyancy forces, are investigated. They provide estimations of the surface wind speed as a function of the controlling parameters.

Significance Statement
Tropical cyclones (also known as hurricanes or typhoons, depending on their location) are life-threatening and devastating atmospheric vortices. Their impact worsens with sea level rise and increasing coastal population. Here, we explore, using idealized models, the physics behind the formation of an eye (the quiet and typically clear region at the center of these storms). We then investigate the controlling parameters for the amplitude of the strongest winds in the model, using energy constraints, and compare them to what is observed in actual tropical cyclones.

Published: June 2024

Background Ensuring morally competent nurses depends on many factors, such as environmental, social, political, and cultural. However, several inadequacies in nursing education have been documented, and no common framework has been established for how nursing ethics should be taught in undergraduate education. Research questions What are the different approaches across nursing programmes established in teaching ethics? What are the main similarities and differences across programmes facilitating a common understanding in developing a curriculum capable of preparing a morally competent nurse? Research design International comparative education study in five steps: (1) formulating the initial question; (2) defining the units of comparison; (3) determining the variables of comparison; (4) describing the findings; (5) interpreting the findings. The comparative variables were identified, extracted, and populated in a piloted grid. Participants Six universities were purposefully selected by the Promoting a Morally Competent Nurse project partners for their nursing education curricula as delivered in 2022–2023. Ethical considerations No ethical approval was required, given no human participants and public data regarding nursing curricula. Findings Variability emerged in the terminologies used in naming the courses, the numbers of credits and hours devoted to teaching ethics, when the courses are delivered (since the initial semesters of nursing education or concentrated in the final years), and their main modes of delivery (a single or separate module or integrated across the curriculum). Contents have some similarities, whereas the teaching methods varied and included (or not) explicit connections with clinical practice. Attendance is mandatory in all courses. The assessment methods used varied from knowledge-based to more competence-based approaches involving multidimensional strategies. Conclusions This comparative study explored similarities and differences across nursing programmes in six different European countries. The reviewed ethics curricula lack significant clarity, and they offer important areas to consider for future development. Issues emerged regarding terminologies, learning workloads, when to deliver, how to deliver, the main contents, and the teaching and assessment methods that merit further discussion.
The Variable Definition of “Negative Appendicitis” Remains a Surgical Challenge
Authors: Patel Hetal , Kamel Mohamed , Cooper Eden , Bowen Claire , Jester Ingo 
Published: June 2024

Aim: Acute appendicitis (AA) is treated primarily surgically with histopathology being the gold standard for confirmation of appendicitis and reported rates of negative appendicectomies (NA) ranging between 3.2% and 19% worldwide and 15.9–20.6% in the UK. NA rates are frequently used to identify poor performing centers as part of a Model Health System and form an integral part of appendicitis scoring systems. This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of negative appendicectomies within our institution and critically analyze the appropriateness of its use as a quality metric and its impact on clinical practice and research. Patients and Methods: Data analysis from a prospective dataset of pediatric appendicitis patients between 2015 and 2021 in a tertiary center in the UK was performed. Detailed analysis of negative appendicectomies was performed and further stratified by two distinct age and gender groups looking at the incidence of NA and the classification of non-histologically normal appendix specimens. Results: In our series, 819 patients met inclusion criteria, 736 (89.9%) had acute appendicitis. Our overall institutional negative appendicectomy rate was 10.1% (83 patients) with the breakdown as follows: 65 histologically normal appendix (7.9%), 10 Enterobius vermicularis, 3 eosinophilic appendicitis, 2 neoplasms, 1 isolated faecolith, 1 fibrous obliteration of the lumen, and 1 peri-appendiceal inflammation. Conclusion: Our negative appendicectomy rate is below established UK pediatric NA rates. This rate ranges from 7.9% to 10.1% depending on the definition of NA utilized. A single standard pathological definition for histological acute appendicitis is required when being used as a comparative quality metric. Centers engaged in clinical research should be aware of variations in NA definitions both in scoring systems and individual centers to avoid skewing derived results.

Abstract
Background
Optimum planting date and appropriate fertilizer module are essential facets of chrysanthemum cultivation, to enhance quality yield, and improve soil health. A field-based study was undertaken over multiple growing seasons in 2022 and 2023, where six different planting dates, viz., P1:June 15, P2:June 30, P3:July 15, P4:July 30, P5:August 15 and P6:August 30 and two fertilizer modules, FM1:Jeevamrit @ 30 ml plant−1 and FM2:NPK @ 30 g m−2 were systematically examined using a Randomized Block Design (factorial), replicated thrice.

Results
P6 planting resulted in early bud formation (44.03 days) and harvesting stage (90.78 days). Maximum plant height (79.44 cm), plant spread (34.04 cm), cut stem length (68.40 cm), flower diameter (7.83 cm), stem strength (19.38˚), vase life (14.90 days), flowering duration (24.08 days), available soil N (314 kg ha−1), available P (37 kg ha−1), available K (347 kg ha−1), bacterial count (124.87 × 107 cfu g−1 soil), actinomycetes count (60.72 × 102 cfu g−1 soil), fungal count (30.95 × 102 cfu g−1 soil), microbial biomass (48.79 µg g−1 soil), dehydrogenase enzyme (3.64 mg TPF h−1 g−1 soil) and phosphatase enzyme (23.79 mol PNP h−1 g−1 soil) was recorded in P1 planting. Among the fertilization module, minimum days to bud formation (74.94 days) and days to reach the harvesting stage (120.95 days) were recorded with the application of NPK @30 g m−2. However, maximum plant height (60.62 cm), plant spread (23.10 cm), number of cut stems m−2 (43.88), cut stem length (51.34 cm), flower diameter (6.92 cm), stem strength (21.24˚), flowering duration (21.75 days), available soil N (317 kg ha−1), available P (37 kg ha−1) and available K (349 kg ha−1) were also recorded with the application of NPK @300 kg ha−1. Maximum vase life (13.87 days), OC (1.13%), bacterial count (131.65 × 107 cfu g−1 soil), actinomycetes count (60.89 × 102 cfu g−1 soil), fungal count (31.11 × 102 cfu g−1 soil), microbial biomass (51.27 µg g−1 soil), dehydrogenase enzyme (3.77 mg TPF h−1 g−1 soil) and phosphatase enzyme (21.72 mol PNP h−1 g−1 soil) were observed with the application of Jeevamrit @ 30 ml plant−1.

Conclusion
Early planting (P1) and inorganic fertilization (NPK @ 30 g m−2) resulted in improved yield and soil macronutrient content. The soil microbial population and enzymatic activity were improved with the jeevamrit application. This approach highlights the potential for improved yield and soil health in chrysanthemum cultivation, promoting a more eco-friendly and economically viable agricultural model.

Published: June 2024

AbstractBackgroundDynamical mathematical models defined by a system of differential equations are typically not easily accessible to non-experts. However, forecasts based on these types of models can help gain insights into the mechanisms driving the process and may outcompete simpler phenomenological growth models. Here we introduce a friendly toolbox,SpatialWavePredict, to characterize and forecast the spatial wave sub-epidemic model, which captures diverse wave dynamics by aggregating multiple asynchronous growth processes and has outperformed simpler phenomenological growth models in short-term forecasts of various infectious diseases outbreaks including SARS, Ebola, and the early waves of the COVID-19 pandemic in the US.ResultsThis tutorial-based primer introduces and illustrates a user-friendly MATLAB toolbox for fitting and forecasting time-series trajectories using an ensemble spatial wave sub-epidemic model based on ordinary differential equations. Scientists, policymakers, and students can use the toolbox to conduct real-time short-term forecasts. The five-parameter epidemic wave model in the toolbox aggregates linked overlapping sub-epidemics and captures a rich spectrum of epidemic wave dynamics, including oscillatory wave behavior and plateaus. An ensemble strategy aims to improve forecasting performance by combining the resulting top-ranked models. The toolbox provides a tutorial for forecasting time-series trajectories, including the full uncertainty distribution derived through parametric bootstrapping, which is needed to construct prediction intervals and evaluate their accuracy. Functions are available to assess forecasting performance, estimation methods, error structures in the data, and forecasting horizons. The toolbox also includes functions to quantify forecasting performance using metrics that evaluate point and distributional forecasts, including the weighted interval score.ConclusionsWe have developed the first comprehensive toolbox to characterize and forecast time-series data using an ensemble spatial wave sub-epidemic wave model. As an epidemic situation or contagion occurs, the tools presented in this tutorial can facilitate policymakers to guide the implementation of containment strategies and assess the impact of control interventions. We demonstrate the functionality of the toolbox with examples, including a tutorial video, and is illustrated using daily data on the COVID-19 pandemic in the USA.

Abstract
Background
Annual lung cancer screening (LCS) with low dose CT reduces lung cancer mortality. LCS is underutilized. Black people who smoke tobacco have high risk of lung cancer but are less likely to be screened than are White people. This study reports provider recommendation and patient completion of LCS and colorectal cancer screening (CRCS) among patients by race to assess for utilization of LCS.

Methods
3000 patients (oversampled for Black patients) across two healthcare systems (in Rhode Island and Minnesota) who had a chart documented age of 55 to 80 and a smoking history were invited to participate in a survey about cancer screening. Logistic regression analysis compared the rates of recommended and received cancer screenings.

Results
1177 participants responded (42% response rate; 45% White, 39% Black). 24% of respondents were eligible for LCS based on USPSTF2013 criteria. One-third of patients eligible for LCS reported that a doctor had recommended screening, compared to 90% of patients reporting a doctor recommended CRCS. Of those recommended screening, 88% reported completing LCS vs. 83% who reported completion of a sigmoidoscopy/colonoscopy. Black patients were equally likely to receive LCS recommendations but less likely to complete LCS when referred compared to White patients. There was no difference in completion of CRCS between Black and White patients.

Conclusions
Primary care providers rarely recommend lung cancer screening to patients with a smoking history. Systemic changes are needed to improve provider referral for LCS and to facilitate eligible Black people to complete LCS.

Abstract
Aim
This study was conducted in Urumqi, Xinjiang, to assess the prevalence of sarcopenia and to determine the relationship between physical activity, nutritional status, and sarcopenia among community-dwelling patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Methods
Four hundred eight cases of older people patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the community in Urumqi, Xinjiang, from May to August 2022 were selected for a cross-sectional on-site survey, and general information questionnaires, clinical information surveys, physical function measurements, and criteria developed by the Asian sarcopenia working group in 2019 were selected for diagnosis of sarcopenia, and unifactorial and multifactorial binary Logistic regression were applied to analyze the influencing factors of T2DM combined with sarcopenia in patients with sarcopenia.

Results
Among the 408 patients, 84 (20.6%) had sarcopenia, with a prevalence of 12.6%, 32.1%, and 51.9% in those aged 60–70, 71– 80, and 81 or older respectively. The prevalence increased significantly with age. Adjusting for variables, the study found that FFM of the Left Leg (OR: 0.710, 95% CI: 0.612–0.804, P = 0.024), FFM of the Right Arm (OR: 0.710, 95% CI: 0.612–0.804, P < 0.001), Age (OR: 1.246, 95% CI: 1.031–1.505, P = 0.023), Fasting Blood Glucose (OR: 1.649, 95% CI: 1.066–2.550, P = 0.025), and Post-Prandial Blood Glucose (OR: 1.455, 95% CI: 0.999–2.118, P = 0.025) were independent associated factors. An increase in MNA score (OR: 0.398, 95% CI: 0.244–0.6500, P < 0.001), ASMI (OR: 0.000, 95% CI: 0.00–0.01, P < 0.001) walking energy expenditure (MET-min) (OR: 0.998, 95% CI: 0.996–0.999, P = 0.001) reduced the prevalence of sarcopenia.

Conclusion
This study shows that increased age, increased skeletal muscle mass index, decreased right arm FFM, increased postprandial glucose, increased MNA scores, and increased walking energy expenditure (MET-min) were associated with type 2 diabetes with sarcopenia.

Published: June 2024

Abstract
Background
Flies are acknowledged as vectors of diseases transmitted through mechanical means and represent a significant risk to human health. The study aimed to determine the prevalence of enteropathogens carried by flies in Pudong New Area to inform strategies for preventing and controlling flies.

Methods
Samples were collected from various locations in the area using cage trapping techniques between April and November 2021, encompassing various habitats such as parks, residential areas, restaurants, and farmers’ markets. The main fly species were identified using cryomicrography and taxonomic enumeration, with 20 samples per tube collected from different habitats. Twenty-five enteropathogens were screened using GI_Trial v3 TaqManTM microbial arrays.

Results
A total of 3,875 flies were collected from 6,400 placements, resulting in an average fly density of 0.61 flies per cage. M. domestica were the most common species at 39.85%, followed by L. sericata at 16.57% and B. peregrina at 13.14%. Out of 189 samples, 93 tested positive for enteropathogens, with nine different pathogens being found. 12.70% of samples exclusively had parasites, a higher percentage than those with only bacteria or viruses. The study found that M. domestica had fewer enteropathogens than L. sericata and B. peregrina, which primarily harbored B. hominis instead of bacteria and viruses such as E. coli, Astrovirus, and Sapovirus. During spring testing, all three fly species exhibited low rates of detecting enteropathogens. M. domestica were found in residential areas with the highest number of pathogen species, totaling six. In contrast, L. sericata and B. peregrina were identified in farmers’ markets with the highest number of pathogen species, totaling six and seven, respectively.

Conclusions
Flies have the potential to serve as vectors for the transmission of enteropathogens, thereby posing a substantial risk to public health.

Published: June 2024

Abstract
Objective
Contrast media (CM) is a commonly applied drug in medical examination and surgery. However, contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI) poses a severe threat to human life and health. Notably, the CUT-like homeobox 1 (CUX1) gene shows protective effects in a variety of cells. Therefore, the objective of this study was to provide a new target for the treatment of CIAKI through exploring the role and possible molecular mechanism of CUX1 in CIAKI.

Method
Blood samples were collected from 20 patients with CIAKI and healthy volunteers. Human kidney 2 (HK-2) cells were incubated with 200 mg/mL iohexol for 6 h to establish a contrast-induced injury model of HK-2 cells. Subsequently, qRT-PCR was used to detect the relative mRNA expression of CUX1; CCK-8 and flow cytometry to assess the proliferation and apoptosis of HK-2 cells; the levels of IL(interleukin)-1β, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in cells and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in cell culture supernatant were detect; and western blot to observe the expression levels of CUX1 and the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway related proteins [phosphorylated phosphoinositide 3-kinase (p-PI3K), PI3K, phosphorylated Akt (p-AKT), AKT].

Results
CUX1 expression was significantly downregulated in blood samples of patients with CIAKI and contrast-induced HK-2 cells. Contrast media (CM; iohexol) treatment significantly reduced the proliferation of HK-2 cells, promoted apoptosis, stimulated inflammation and oxidative stress that caused cell damage. CUX1 overexpression alleviated cell damage by significantly improving the proliferation level of HK-2 cells induced by CM, inhibiting cell apoptosis, and reducing the level of LDH in culture supernatant and the expression of IL-1β, TNF-α and MDA in cells. CM treatment significantly inhibited the activity of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway activity. Nevertheless, up-regulating CUX1 could activate the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway activity in HK-2 cells induced by CM.

Conclusion
CUX1 promotes cell proliferation, inhibits apoptosis, and reduces inflammation and oxidative stress in CM-induced HK-2 cells to alleviate CM-induced damage. The mechanism of CUX1 may be correlated with activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
