Learning Through Practice: On How Kemyt Contributed to Crafting and Transmitting Scribal Knowledge
Authors: Motte Aurore 
Published: May 2024

Summary
This paper is conceived as a first step towards the Kemyt (re)contextualization. By exploring the specific layout and paratext of Kemyt, it intends to shed light on the scribes who wrote the many partial copies of this letter-like composition and in which circumstances. I first address the layout, the ink choices, and the writing orientation. I then turn my attention to the text structure: dividers, ending marks, as well as colophons, dedications, and underwriting. The dated ostraca and their frequent identification as school exercises are discussed before moving on to the textual revision practices and looking for an explanation to the low proportion of corrected texts despite faulty content. All this enabled me to highlight a set of scribal practices, in which scribes draw, some being proper to the Kemyt, some being common to the rest of the text production. These practices revealed a complex network, from beginning students to senior scribes, through assistant scribes and early career scribes, which contributed to the crafting and the transmission of scribal knowledge during the New Kingdom.
Hor-resnet ou Hor-nesout? Étude onomastique et prosopographique

Summary
The anthroponymy of the people of Akhmim is often quite specific. Among the local anthroponyms is one formed with the name of Horus followed by an epithet of uncertain reading. This short note aims at reviewing the evidence in order to decide between the standard reading, Ḥr-Rsn.t and a more recent, but as yet unproven, interpretation, Ḥr-nswt. A list of individuals bearing this name is also attached.
Papyrus PM 49.11.1, Dating the Great Tomb Robberies, and the Chronology of the Late 20th Dynasty
Authors: Antoine Jean-Christophe 
Published: May 2024

Summary
The Great Tomb Robbery papyri are a major source of information on the end of the 20th Dynasty. Questioned in year 1 of the Renaissance thieves mention the taking of Medinet Habu by foreign troops, an attack of Hardai in Middle Egypt by the Viceroy of Kush Panehsi, and a temporary destitution of the High Priest of Amun (HPA), that are unfortunately not dated. The way forward to resolve this uncertainty is to date the thefts themselves since they were contemporaneous. For this we systematically reviewed what we know of the prosopography of the people involved in the thefts and their investigation. The result shows that tombs and temples robberies mostly occurred between the end of the reign of Ramesses IX and the early years of Ramesses XI. In addition, P. PM 49.11.1 mentions an otherwise unattested HPA Nesmut. The consequences of these results on the history of this period are discussed.
Zwei koptische grammatische Morpheme bislang ungeklärten Ursprungs
Authors: Peust Carsten 
Published: May 2024

Summary
This paper discusses two Coptic morphemes whose etymology has remained obscure to this day, namely the n-prefix of the so-called adjective verbs such as ⲛ-ⲁⲛⲟⲩ= „is good“, as well as the particle ⲡⲉ that often accompanies the preterite converter. It is suggested that both of them came into existence by a false segmentation of contexts in which their predecessors typically used to occur.
Recollecting The Unforgettable: Interrogating Migration, Trauma and Identity In Select Tripura Bengali Poems
Authors: Chakraborty Jagriti , Chakrabarty Madhumita 
Published: May 2024

The human mind retains the sequences of episodes that include prior experiences, memories and narratives. The traumatic memories of past are the one which stays in the subconscious and the recollection of those events formulates images of terror. Partition of India is one such event which incorporates narratives of multiple experiences of migration and separation. Tripura a small hilly state of North East India has seen the flood of migrants even before the major India Pakistan division took place. Most of Bengalis settled in Tripura have their roots in East Pakistan or which is after 1971 known as Bangladesh. Many decades have passed but they are still carrying their stories of migration and passing it to generation after generation. The trauma of separation from homeland becomes part of their memory and gets registered by the help of literature. This paper aims to examine select poems of Tripura which focuses upon the relation of migration and memory.

Published: May 2024

Background: Bloodstream infections are a serious public health problem that requires follow-up with blood culture; this negatively affects the course of the disease and patient healthcare costs in patients with malignancy. This study aimed to determine the growth frequency of pathogens and their antibiotic resistance profiles in the blood cultures of patients with hematological and oncogenic malignancies.Materials and methods: The results of 7451 blood cultures, obtained from 2926 patients between January 2017 and January 2022, were evaluated retrospectively. Of these cultures, 3969 were obtained from patients with malignancy (diagnostic codes C00-D48 in ICD-10) and 3482 from patients without malignancy. The hospital information management system modules were used to acquire patient data and blood culture results.Results: Various microorganisms grew in 10.1% of blood cultures. Of these organisms, 64.1% were isolated from cases of malignancy. Of the pathogens, 49.2% were gram-negative bacteria, 47.7% were gram-positive bacteria, and 3.1% were fungi. The most frequently isolated bacteria were methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (3.2%), Escherichia coli (2.3%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (1.0%), methicillin-sensitive coagulase-negative staphylococci (0.7%), and Staphylococcus aureus (0.6%). Pathogen positivity was highest in the patient cultures with urinary system cancer (23.9%), thyroid and other endocrine gland cancers (20.6%), female and male genital organ cancers (18.2%/16.9%), and digestive organ cancer (14.2%). Gram-negative bacteria to ampicillin, piperacillin, and sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim and Gram-positive bacteria to penicillin, erythromycin, and sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim were highly resistant. Combined resistance to imipenem and meropenem was observed in 25 Gram-negative bacteria. Twelve (48%) of the carbapenem-resistant bacteria were isolated from patients with lymphoid, hematopoietic, and related tissue malignant neoplasia.Conclusion: This study reported microorganisms and their antimicrobial resistance in the blood cultures of malignant patients, a special patient group. It pointed out that the antibiotic resistance of Staphylococcus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and E. coli is high enough to cause problems in the treatment of patients with malignancy.

The objective of this work was the isolation and characterization of Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris strains from orange juice. In all, 72 isolates were recovered from commercial orange juice bought from the Greek market. The isolates were subjected to polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) to discriminate them at strain level and A. acidoterrestris types I and II. The restriction patterns of 16S rRNA gene revealed that isolates were categorized in different groups depending on the restriction endonucleases. Moreover, the digestion of the part of vdc operon gene with HphI restriction enzyme successfully differentiated between A. acidoterrestris types I and II. In conclusion, RFLP succeeded in differentiating A. acidoterrestris isolates at strain and type levels.
suiETAS: Developing and Testing ETAS-Based Earthquake Forecasting Models for Switzerland
Authors: Mizrahi Leila , Nandan Shyam , Mena Cabrera Banu , Wiemer Stefan 
Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT
We present the development and testing of multiple epidemic-type aftershock sequence (ETAS)-based earthquake forecasting models for Switzerland, aiming to identify suitable candidate models for operational earthquake forecasting (OEF) at the Swiss Seismological Service. We consider seven model variants: four variants use parameters obtained through fitting the ETAS model to the Swiss earthquake catalog, and three use generic parameters that were fit to Californian seismicity or global seismicity from regions tectonically similar to Switzerland. The model variants use different pieces of information from the current state-of-the-art time-independent earthquake rate forecast underlying the Swiss seismic hazard model (SUIhaz2015), and one is calibrated on a larger local data set that includes smaller earthquakes by allowing a time-dependent estimate of the completeness magnitude. We test all variants using pseudoprospective short-term (7-day) forecasting experiments and retrospective long-term (30-year) consistency tests. Our results suggest that all ETAS-based models outperform the time-independent SUIhaz2015 forecast in the short term, but two of the model variants overestimate event numbers in the long term. ETAS parameters are found not to be universally transferrable across tectonic regimes, and region-specific calibration is found to add value over generic parameters. Finally, we rank all model variants based on six criteria, including the results of the pseudoprospective and retrospective tests, as well as other criteria such as model run time or consistency with the existing long-term model, using a multicriteria decision analysis approach. Based on this ranking, we propose the ETAS model calibrated on the Swiss catalog, and with the spatial background seismicity distribution of SUIhaz2015 as the ideal candidate for the first Swiss OEF system. All procedures and choices involved in the development and testing of the Swiss ETAS model follow recently established expert recommendations and can act as a reference in the establishment of time-variant earthquake forecasting models for other regions.

Introduction: Turnover of nurses creates great problems in providing services to and the quality of care regarding patients. Organizational commitment and compatibility between personal and organizational values of nurses reduces turnover intention in nurses. The current research was conducted with the aim of investigating the relationship between organizational commitment and turnover intention, considering the mediating role of personal and organizational values.
Methods: In this descriptive study, the statistical population included nurses working in the hospitals of Tehran Islamic Azad University of Medical Sciences in 2023. 250 people were selected by simple random sampling method and responded to the questionnaires of Kim et al.'s turnover intention, Allen and Meyer's organizational commitment, Scroggins' person-organization fit, and demographic questionnaires. . In order to analyze data, Pearson's correlation coefficient, bootstrap method, and Sobel's test were used in structural equation modeling with Amos software.
Results: The results of path analysis showed that the direct effect of organizational commitment on personal and organizational value and turnover intention was significant, and the direct effect of personal and organizational values on turnover intention was also significant. Moreover, the indirect effect of organizational commitment on turnover intention was confirmed through the mediation of personal and organizational values.
Conclusion: The findings of the current research show the mediating effect of personal and organizational values on the relationship between the turnover intention and organizational commitment. It is suggested that nursing managers try to formulate intervention strategies to improve organizational commitment and compatibility of personal and organizational values of nurses.

Published: May 2024

An alarming trend has emerged from an analysis of own source revenue as a percentage of the targeted annual revenue over the past five financial years, revealing a consistent decline in performance with counties raising less than 40% of their estimated own source revenue potential despite using agents and having undertaken automation of the revenue collection processes. A deeper examination further reveals that a significant number of counties that consistently outperform the national average in achieving own source revenue targets have already embraced automation, in addition to agency revenue collection. A mixed research design was adopted by this study, targeting a population of 708 employees working in six selected county governments. By use of the Yamane formula, the determined sample was 280, who were reached through both census and stratified random sampling technique. Primary was collected through structured questionnaires. In order to examine quantitative data, descriptive statistics such as frequency, mean, and standard deviation were used. The study findings reveal that there was an overall mean of 4.321 and a relatively low standard deviation of 0.823. This underscores the significance of skilled and competent revenue collection employees in achieving own source revenue targets. This finding has profound implications for county governments, emphasizing the critical need to invest in the training, development, and ongoing support of revenue collection personnel.

Abstract

Objective
Recent U.S. registry publications showed no improvement in long term survival post-liver transplant in the last three decades. This observation urged us to assess the trend in long-term survival of liver transplant recipients (LTR) in a publically funded healthcare system, and importantly examine trends in cause-specific mortality.
Methods
Consecutive adult subjects seen at the liver transplant centre between September 1984 to December 2020 at the University Health Network (UHN) in Toronto, Canada, were reviewed. The study period was divided into seven 5-year eras. Comparisons between eras were made to assess trend over time. Cause specific mortality were studied up to 10 years post-transplant.
Results
In total, 2,972 subjects were included. Overall, no significant improvement in long-term survival was observed over the seven eras. No significant difference in the risk of cardiovascular, malignancy, or infection-related mortality was observed across the eras. Significant improvements were observed in graft-failure related mortality. Compared to the age and sex matched general population, LTRs demonstrated a significantly higher mortality and shorter life expectancy.
Conclusion
Advances in transplant medicine over the last 35 years translated into a decrease in graft-related mortality. However, overall, there was no significant change in long-term survival considering all causes. Despite advances in post-transplant management, it has not led to a decrease in cardiovascular, malignancy or infection-related mortality in transplant recipients. Further research is warranted on the cause of stagnation in these areas and improving long-term post-transplant outcomes.

Abstract

Deconvolution of bulk RNA profiles can identify hidden cell fractions and functional states in the tumor microenvironment. The malignant cells however, are commonly the most abundant cell type and impair deconvolution by profound interpatient heterogeneity. We developed a malignant cell fraction-informed RNA deconvolution method by Bayesian integration of DNA-derived malignant fraction estimates, OncoBLADE. We evaluated OncoBLADE experimentally using bulk RNA profiles with 19 CyTOF determined cell fractions from blood of 46 individuals, and in silico using 180,177 single-cell RNA profiles from 73 lung tumors. Using malignant cell fractions, OncoBLADE achieved improved accuracy in cell fraction and cell type-specific RNA profile estimation. We tested OncoBLADE on real bulk profiles of 50 adeno- and 50 squamous lung cancer samples, revealing hidden RNA profiles of malignant cells and fibroblasts that distinguished two histological subtypes. In conclusion, multimodal deconvolution utilizing bulk DNA and RNA data accurately unveils hidden RNA profiles within the tumor microenvironment.
A Method for Comparing and Generating Candidate Scalings
Authors: Truman Spencer , Henao Ricardo , Truscott Tadd 
Published: May 2024

Abstract

Scalings are the basis for relating and comparing quantities from scientific data. The current approach to discovering scalings from data is overly reliant on human researchers, which means that the pace of discovery in engineering and scientific fields is dependent on human speed. We propose a combined objective for quantitatively comparing scalings which will quicken the pace of discovery by harnessing computational speed. The combined objective allows for automated methods to be used to generate a large number (thousands or more) of candidates which can be computationally scored based on metrics of correlation, simplicity, sparsity, and having simple rational numbers. This method allows a researcher to explore pools of scaling candidates more efficiently to find scalings of interest.
