How Hebrews Reads Scripture
Authors: Docherty Susan 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
The theology and rhetoric of Hebrews is fundamentally shaped by Israel’s Scriptures, both in substance and in the language through which ideas are expressed. Every aspect of the author’s Christology depends on a close engagement with these authoritative texts, and appeal to them is equally constitutive of his ethical exhortation. The extensive deployment of the Scriptures in every section of Hebrews, together with the variety of techniques applied to their exegesis, reveal the letter’s author to be a confident and highly skilled interpreter of Israel’s sacred texts. Modern scholarship focuses particularly on investigating the direct citations which figure prominently in the letter’s argument and appear integral to its literary structure. This essay addresses the main critical issues raised by the presentation and interpretation of these formal quotations before considering more briefly some of the less explicit ways in which Scripture is reused in Hebrews. It engages with major areas of critical discussion in this subfield. Topics addressed include the selection and distribution of scriptural citations, text form, testimonia collections, the significance of the Psalms in the letter, the treatment of Scripture as divine speech, the relationship between the author’s interpretative method and early Jewish exegetical techniques, and implicit uses of Scripture such as allusions and appeals to biblical characters.
Royal Chronology
Authors: McKenzie Steven L. , Villar Vegas David 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
There exist sharp differences in the royal chronology of the books of Kings as it is preserved in the Masoretic Text and in the Septuagint. Some scholars think that the earliest attainable chronological system can be found in the MT. Other scholars believe that the earliest royal chronology is reflected in the LXX. No consensus exists on this matter in current research. More than that, new arguments in favor of each hypothesis have recently been put forward. This chapter gives voice to the two sides of the debate, presenting the respective arguments for the cases for the MT and for the LXX.
Prophecy in the Books of Kings
Authors: Sauerwein Ruth 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter investigates the role of prophecy in the books of Kings and prophecy’s literary purpose in the larger context of the so-called Deuteronomistic History. The narrative material on the different prophets in the books of Kings—as manifold as it may be—does have common themes. The similarities among all prophetic figures hint at the broader purpose in Deut–2 Kgs. Accordingly, all prophets in Kings seem to fulfill the role of Yhwh’s critical spokesperson to the kings of Israel and Judah and serve to explain why the demise of both kingdoms was inevitable. The chapter sheds light on the conceptual differences between prophecy in the Former and Latter Prophets. Methodologically the approach is based on the results of diachronic research such as literary (source) criticism and redaction history, and takes into account religious historical findings.
Greek Versions of the Books of Kings
Authors: Trebolle Barrera Julio 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter discusses the Greek versions of the books of Kings. It begins with a description of the importance of the Qumran manuscripts and their discovery for understanding the Greek textual witnesses. It then proceeds to a survey of those witnesses by groups: the Hexaplaric text (Alexandrinus, mss. 247 and 346, and the Armenian), the Kaige text (Vaticanus, 121, 509), the Lucianic texts (19 82 93 108 127), and those possibly representing a Hesychian recension. The chapter also covers Chronicles and Paralipomena as witnesses to the Old Greek of Kings, the LXX’s possible exegesis of the Hebrew Masoretic Text. The remaining sections of the chapter address the insight that the Greek versions afford into the process of composition of the books of Kings.
Deification, Justification, and Sanctification
Authors: Despotis Athanasios 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter discusses the relationship between three systematic categories from the perspective of the blend between religion and philosophy in early Christianity. Especially, concepts of theōsis often occur in the cultural backgrounds of the New Testament authors and their older Hellenistic Jewish contemporaries. In dialogue with and competition to other religious-philosophical traditions, Christian authors deliver reflections on deification, i.e., moral assimilation and ontic participation in God, to describe the path and the goal of Early Christian philosophy as a way of life that involves affiliation with a messianic community, reflecting on the Scripture and participation in rituals. The idea of justification by πίστις does not challenge synergism in this progress but defines who belongs to the people of God. Becoming righteous and participating in divine holiness, i.e., justification and sanctification, are aspects of an ongoing theomorphic transformation of baptized believers that will be accomplished at the eschaton.
Deification and Eschatology
Authors: Rowland Tracey 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
In this chapter it is argued that the relationship between deification and eschatology is intrinsic, but, since the 1970s, a split can be discerned. The split is between theologians who believe that the New Jerusalem is a divine gift for which creatures prepare in their daily struggles with the effects of original sin, and theologians who believe that it is only by the construction of the New Jerusalem that social problems, classified as “effects of original sin” can be eradicated. The division is similar to that in the Marxist tradition between feminists who believe that capitalism needs to be destroyed before patriarchy will collapse and feminists who believe that capitalism will only crumble once patriarchy has been undermined. In theological terms, the split between theologians is over soteriology and protology. Soteriology and protology might be described as the “double clasp” that holds the fields of deification and eschatology together.
Christian Deification
Authors: Cattoi Thomas 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter revisits the Christian notion of deification in light of analogous soteriological notions operative in traditions of dharma religions, such as Hinduism and Buddhism. First, a brief genealogy of deification in the early Christian East is presented, contrasting the “Origenist” construal of soteriology and the post-Chalcedonian understanding of theōsis. The second section introduces different interpretations of the soteriologies developed in the Bhagavad Gītā and the role of relational and non-relational trajectories to nirvāna characterizing the Tibetan tradition of deity visualization and the Buddhological speculation of the Abhisamayālaṅkāra. This survey will highlight the presence within the Christian and the dharma traditions of a tension between personal and non-personal understandings of deification and spiritual transformation. The chapter also foregrounds how Christianity’s normative embrace of the former and the dharma religions’ ability to accommodate both approaches reflect their distinctive institutional structures and the assimilation of divergent epistemologies.
Autocracy and Colonial Rule
Authors: Lawrence Adria 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Scholars have shown that colonialism shaped successor regimes, creating conditions that favored democratic or autocratic rule. Though there is much literature on the effects of colonialism, there is less about colonial rule itself. What, if anything, makes colonial rule different from other kinds of autocratic rule? Political scientists have many theories about how postcolonial authoritarian regimes stay in power, but fewer about colonial regimes, and this chapter situates colonial rule within the study of autocracy. Drawing on existing scholarly work, it describes late imperial strategies for ruling colonial subjects. It focuses on direct and indirect rule, offering an analysis of these concepts, considering whether they make colonial rule distinctive, and questioning what they meant in practice. Under both types of rule, colonial officials and their delegates employed repression and violence to suppress resistance. This chapter thus shows that colonial regimes share features with other autocracies that depend on coercive practices to survive. Studying the colonial era has the potential to broaden our understanding of how autocratic regimes function.
Does express delivery run ahead of stock price?
Authors: Chang Jeffery (Jinfan) , Yang Shijie , Zhang Bohui 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
We study the role of logistics information in the stock price discovery process. Using a proprietary dataset on parcel-level express delivery service records from one of the largest express service providers in China, we find that express delivery contains firm-specific information for stock pricing. A long/short portfolio of buying (selling) stocks with high (low) quarterly growth in the number of parcels sent by firms generates an 8.23 percent risk-adjusted annual return. The return predictability is more significantly driven by document, light, and business-to-business parcels, which reflects the intensity of a firm’s overall operations (rather than just sales growth), and by parcels sent to new addresses, which represents new business expansion. Echoing this return predictability, parcel growth also predicts firm growth, profitability, and earnings surprises. Finally, we provide evidence on return predictability associated with topology of logistic network identified by parcel delivery data.
A computational framework to in silico screen for drug-induced hepatocellular toxicity
Authors: Zhao Yueshan , Park Ji Youn , Yang Da , Zhang Min 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is the most common trigger for acute liver failure and the leading cause of attrition in drug development. In this study, we developed an in silico framework to screen drug-induced hepatocellular toxicity (INSIGHT) by integrating the post-treatment transcriptomic data from both rodent models and primary human hepatocytes. We first built an early prediction model using logistic regression with elastic net regularization for 123 compounds and established the INSIGHT framework that can screen for drug-induced hepatotoxicity. The 235 signature genes identified by INSIGHT were involved in metabolism, bile acid synthesis, and stress response pathways. Applying the INSIGHT to an independent transcriptomic dataset treated by 185 compounds predicted that 27 compounds show a high DILI risk, including zoxazolamine and emetine. Further integration with cell image data revealed that predicted compounds with high DILI risk can induce abnormal morphological changes in the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondrion. Clustering analysis of the treatment-induced transcriptomic changes delineated distinct DILI mechanisms induced by these compounds. Our study presents a computational framework for a mechanistic understanding of long-term liver injury and the prospective prediction of DILI risk.
A new specimen of Dacentrurus armatus Owen, 1875 (Ornithischia: Thyreophora) from the Upper Jurassic of Spain and its taxonomic relevance in the European stegosaurian diversity
Authors: Sánchez-Fenollosa Sergio , Escaso Fernando , Cobos Alberto 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Dacentrurus armatus was the first stegosaur described in the European Upper Jurassic at the end of the 19th century. The description of a second dacentrurine taxon, ‘Miragaia longicollum’, diagnosed from material non-comparable with the D. armatus holotype, has been controversial, and its validity has been challenged. In this study, we describe a new relatively complete stegosaurian postcranial skeleton from the Villar del Arzobispo Formation (Upper Jurassic, Spain). The systematic study of this new specimen and a comprehensive taxonomic assessment of the material not attributed to Stegosaurus from the Upper Jurassic of Europe, reveal high morphological homogeneity and an absence of morphological criteria for distinguishing two dacentrurine taxa. Therefore, ‘Mi. longicollum’ is proposed as a subjective junior synonym of D. armatus. Moreover, a new diagnosis for D. armatus is suggested based on the holotype and referred specimens. As a result, only two stegosaurian species, Stegosaurus stenops and D. armatus, are recognized in Europe during the Late Jurassic. Finally, the species longispinus from the Morrison Formation (Upper Jurassic, USA) is returned to the genus Alcovasaurus.

Association of Pneumatosis Intestinalis With Surgical Outcomes and Mortality: A Matched, Retrospective Cohort Study and Literature Review
Authors: Klingbeil Kyle D. , Zelicha Hila , Chen Yijun , Bell Douglas S. , Livingston Edward H. 
Published: June 2024

Background:
To determine the clinical importance of pneumatosis intestinalis (PI) on surgical decision-making and patient outcomes.

Methods:
A matched cohort observational study was conducted including all clinical encounters for both ambulatory and inpatient care at UCLA Health between February 15, 2006 and January 31, 2023. Patients were initially identified using encounter diagnostic codes for “other specified diseases of intestine.” A radiologic diagnosis of PI was then assessed using natural language processing techniques followed by confirmation using manual chart review. Patients who did not have PI served as a control group. Patient comorbidity was assessed using Elixhauser comorbidity scores. Logistic regression and Cox hazard analyses were used to assess associations between PI and mortality. The main outcome was 90-day all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes were the proportion of patients undergoing surgery and, of those, how many required bowel resections.

Results:
Of the 16,728 patients identified by diagnostic coding, 315 were confirmed to have a diagnosis of PI. The 90-day mortality rate for all patients with PI was 29%. Surgery was performed for 62 patients (20%), of whom 46 (72%) underwent bowel resection and 16 (28%) underwent abdominal exploration alone. Most patients underwent surgery for peritonitis (37%), bowel obstruction (31%), and/or pneumoperitoneum (23%) in association with PI; whereas only 8% of patients received surgery exclusively for PI. There was no statistically significant association between PI and mortality with logistic regression conditioned on other risk factors for mortality. In contrast, survival analysis of a matched cohort demonstrated a small effect of PI on mortality (hazard ratio = 1.24: 95% confidence interval = 1.16–1.32, P = 0.021).

Conclusions:
Most patients with a diagnosis of PI survive without requiring surgery. Of those who undergo surgery, nearly all have indications for laparotomy exclusive of PI. Mortality in patients who have pneumatosis is strongly associated with comorbid disease, with little to no independent association with PI. Our findings suggest that the presence of PI should not be a primary indication for surgical intervention.
Microvascular Autoregulation in Skeletal Muscle Using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy and Derivation of Optimal Mean Arterial Pressure in the ICU: Pilot Study and Comparison With Cerebral Near-Infrared Spectroscopy

Published: June 2024

IMPORTANCE:
Microvascular autoregulation (MA) maintains adequate tissue perfusion over a range of arterial blood pressure (ABP) and is frequently impaired in critical illness. MA has been studied in the brain to derive personalized hemodynamic targets after brain injury. The ability to measure MA in other organs is not known, which may inform individualized management during shock.

OBJECTIVES:
This study determines the feasibility of measuring MA in skeletal muscle using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) as a marker of tissue perfusion, the derivation of optimal mean arterial pressure (MAPopt), and comparison with indices from the brain.

DESIGN:
Prospective observational study.

SETTING:
Medical and surgical ICU in a tertiary academic hospital.

PARTICIPANTS:
Adult critically ill patients requiring vasoactive support on the first day of ICU admission.

MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES:
Fifteen critically ill patients were enrolled. NIRS was applied simultaneously to skeletal muscle (brachioradialis) and brain (frontal cortex) while ABP was measured continuously via invasive catheter. MA correlation indices were calculated between ABP and NIRS from skeletal muscle total hemoglobin (MVx), muscle tissue saturation index (MOx), brain total hemoglobin (THx), and brain tissue saturation index (COx). Curve fitting algorithms derive the MAP with the lowest correlation index value, which is the MAPopt.

RESULTS:
MAPopt values were successfully calculated for each correlation index for all patients and were frequently (77%) above 65 mm Hg. For all correlation indices, median time was substantially above impaired MA threshold (24.5–34.9%) and below target MAPopt (9.0–78.6%). Muscle and brain MAPopt show moderate correlation (MVx–THx r = 0.76, p < 0.001; MOx–COx r = 0.69, p = 0.005), with a median difference of –1.27 mm Hg (–9.85 to –0.18 mm Hg) and 0.05 mm Hg (–7.05 to 2.68 mm Hg).

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE:
This study demonstrates, for the first time, the feasibility of calculating MA indices and MAPopt in skeletal muscle using NIRS. Future studies should explore the association between impaired skeletal muscle MA, ICU outcomes, and organ-specific differences in MA and MAPopt thresholds.

Published: June 2024

Abstract

Background:
The optimal antidepressant dosages remain controversial. This study aimed to analyze the efficacy of antidepressants and characterize their dose–response relationships in the treatments of major depressive disorders (MDD).

Methods:
We searched multiple databases, including the Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PubMed, and Web of Science, for the studies that were conducted between January 8, 2016, and April 30, 2023. The studies are double-blinded, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving the adults (≥18 years) with MDD. The primary outcomes were efficacy of antidepressant and the dose–response relationships. A frequentist network meta-analysis was conducted, treating participants with various dosages of the same antidepressant as a single therapy. We also implemented the model-based meta-analysis (MBMA) using a Bayesian method to explore the dose–response relationships.

Results:
The network meta-analysis comprised 135,180 participants from 602 studies. All the antidepressants were more effective than the placebo; toludesvenlafaxine had the highest odds ratio (OR) of 4.52 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.65–7.72), and reboxetine had the lowest OR of 1.34 (95%CI: 1.14–1.57). Moreover, amitriptyline, clomipramine, and reboxetine showed a linear increase in effect size from low to high doses. The effect size of toludesvenlafaxine increased significantly up to 80 mg/day and subsequently maintained the maximal dose up to 160 mg/day while the predictive curves of nefazodone were fairly flat in different dosages.

Conclusions:
Although most antidepressants were more efficacious than placebo in treating MDD, no consistent dose–response relationship between any antidepressants was observed. For most antidepressants, the maximum efficacy was achieved at lower or middle prescribed doses, rather than at the upper limit.
Social Determinants in COVID-19 Experiences of Children With Disabilities Receiving School-Based Services in Chicago: Mixed-Methods Study of Parent/Guardian Perspectives
Authors: Luo Catherine Y. , Kowalczyk Monica E. , Msall Michael E. , Volerman Anna 
Published: June 2024

Abstract:

Objective:
To identify the impact of social determinants on the experiences of children with disabilities and their families during the COVID-19 pandemic from the perspective of parents/guardians.

Methods:
A mixed-methods study engaged parents/guardians of children with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) in July to August 2021 at a developmental/behavioral pediatrics clinic in 1 urban academic medical center. All parents/guardians completed study-specific surveys on experiences and impact of COVID-19. A subset completed semi-structured interviews. Analysis included descriptive statistics and Fisher exact tests for survey questions and thematic analysis to code interviews and identify themes. Results were corroborated by experts in developmental/behavioral pediatrics and special education.

Results:
Participants included 24 parents/guardians representing 27 children (mean = 7.37 years). A majority attended public school (78%) and identified as non-White (78%). Most commonly, the children's disabilities were autism (52%), attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (37%), and speech/language impairment (33%). The services received by children most commonly were speech/language (89%) and physical/occupational (70%) therapies. Five themes emerged about the impact of social determinants on experiences during COVID-19 related to: adapting to disruption of routines, attendance/engagement in learning, interruption of IEP services, support for children and families, and challenges with technology.

Conclusion:
Social determinants, such as housing, income, insurance, and quality of education, affected the experiences of families and their ability to adapt to the needs of children with disabilities in the setting of COVID-19 pandemic-related changes.
