History and Archaeology
Authors: Hasegawa Shuichi 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Unlike most previous descriptions of the history of the kingdom that are based heavily on biblical narratives, this chapter, after dealing with the geographical extent of the kingdom and the problem of chronology, discusses the nature of the available sources—namely, archaeological data, epigraphic texts, iconographic materials, and biblical texts. Then, the chapter delineates, in chronological order, the pictures of the society of Judah that emerge from archaeological data and epigraphic sources. The time span is divided into three archaeological periods: Iron Age IIA, IIB, and IIC. The latter half of the chapter draws a historical sketch of the kingdom from economic and political perspectives by consulting the extrabiblical sources and selective biblical texts that are regarded as reliable. The kingdom flourished only under the dominion of more powerful kingdoms—namely, Israel, Assyria, Egypt, and Babylonia—and its repeated rebellions against those powers finally led to its demolition.
The Reception of the Books of Kings in Medieval Judaism
Authors: Cohen-Skalli Cédric 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter presents how Don Isaac Abravanel (1437–1508), one of the greatest leaders and thinkers of Iberian Jewry in the period of the expulsion of 1492, understood the biblical figure of King Solomon in the immediate aftermath of 1492. To counter the power of the Catholic monarchs, who were responsible for expelling Don Isaac Abravanel and his coreligionists from the Iberian Peninsula, Don Isaac wrote a commentary on the books of Kings. This commentary extols the might of King Solomon. It dedicates half of Abravanel’s commentary to a description and discussion of various aspects of King Solomon’s kingdom. This chapter focuses on the idealization of King Solomon and its meaning.
Gender Studies and Kings
Authors: Quick Laura 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
The name of the books of Kings suggests a focus entirely upon masculine rulers. In fact, the books of Kings present a cross section of the professional, political, and religious roles held by women in ancient Israel and Judah. Beyond highlighting female-specific roles from the text, the text reflects and constructs a specific orientation toward gender. The books of Kings describe and normalize various qualities and roles that were considered appropriate and expected for men and women. The study of gender in Kings must therefore look beyond the reconstruction of the social, political, and religious roles held by men and women to encounter the construction of masculinity and femininity that is inherent to these roles. This chapter reviews scholarship that has focused upon the social and professional roles of the female characters in Kings and considers the ways in which gender figures into the presentation of these characters.
Machine Learning and the Analysis of Culture
Authors: Mützel Sophie , Ollion Étienne 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
The focus of this chapter is on how machine learning (ML) affects the analysis of culture in sociology. It shows how ML has greatly advanced the analysis of culture with new tools that enable a massive, fine-grained extraction of information from textual and audiovisual troves as well as data analysis to operationalize long-standing cultural sociology concepts. It also indicates that this renewed interest is building on already fertile ground, as sociologists of culture have long used and reflected on formal models when analyzing culture. The chapter suggests that as the toolbox of ML approaches expands, so will the need for methodological reflection on the datasets and algorithms used, analyzed, and interpreted. The chapter also suggests that ML techniques can serve as catalysts for generating new theoretical insights. The chapter’s conclusion discusses the potential of ML research to generate new theoretical insights abductively and advocates for methodological reflexivity.
Buddhist Pilgrimage and Living Religious Heritage in North India
Authors: Geary David 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Undertaking pilgrimage and visiting sacred traces associated with the Buddha’s life is an important ritual form that plays an integral role in assembling Buddhist worlds of practice through a moral geography. As spaces of living memory that embed and diffuse the spiritual biography of the Buddha, pilgrimage supports a paradigmatic model of aspiration for those who have made progress along the path to nirvana. This chapter explores some of the meanings of Buddhist pilgrimage with special attention to the sensory, performative, and affective dimensions of place. Drawing on theoretical insights in new materialism, it also examines the important ways materiality and meaning converge at the Mahabodhi Temple Complex in Bodh Gaya, showing how Buddhist rituals become entangled with heritage formations at national and global scales.
Reconfiguring Buddhism for Youth in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Authors: Manh Nguyen Dat 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Across Vietnam, since the mid-2000s, there has been a proliferation of Buddhist programs for youth. These programs, organized by monastics and/or lay Buddhists, often collaboratively, have taken place both inside and outside of temple spaces, with the aim of educating young Vietnamese in Buddhist teachings, practices, and ethics. This chapter, based on extensive fieldwork, examines Buddhist youth programs at two Buddhist temples in Ho Chi Minh City, one promoting a strong modernist interpretation of Buddhism and the other a combination of Buddhist devotionalism and modernism. These two case studies highlight the diversity of Buddhist youth programs in contemporary Vietnam, in their forms, contents, and pedagogies. More importantly, they demonstrate how in responding to the interests and lived experiences of lay youth, monastics need to reconfigure relationships and boundaries between monastics and lay followers, between devotional and modernist Buddhisms, and between tradition and modernity.
Ancient Greek Cultural and Philosophical Background
Authors: Petrovic Ivana 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
After a survey of the Greek gods’ key characteristics (anthropomorphism, power, and especially immortality), this chapter provides an overview of the concept of apotheosis in Greek myth, philosophy, and historical reality. Deification was a fluctuating notion. Different aspects of divinity were emphasized in different periods: agelessness and immortality were seen as essential for deification at first, then immortality and purity, and finally power and bestowing of benefits on communities. In Greek myth, deification entails a divine decision to bestow immortality and agelessness on an individual. In historical reality, the rise of the idea of immortality of the soul created a new pathway to deification. In the Hellenistic period, deification as a process of bestowing of divine honors on rulers becomes common.
Neo-Thomist and Ressourcement Theology
Authors: Newsome Martin Jennifer 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This chapter introduces a representative sampling of theologians in both Neo-Thomist and ressourcement schools who recover, amplify, and feature the doctrine of deification. These include Ambroise Gardeil, OP (1859–1931), Juan Arintero, OP (1860–1928), Réginald Garrigou-Lagrange (1877–1964), Henri de Lubac, SJ (1896–1991), and Hans Urs von Balthasar (1905–1988). Presenting these two groups of theologians on deification shows how neither side should be dismissed, as both sides present many remarkable insights. Reflection on deification can be enhanced by attending to this great cloud of witnesses on such matters as the relationship between theosis and sanctifying grace, the Trinitarian, Christological, and pneumatological elements of deification, realist views of the transformation in deification, and pastoral ramifications. The chapter concludes by noting there are significant arenas of theological sympathy and substantial points of contact between the two groups.
Deification and the Trinity
Authors: Emery Gilles 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Deification is a participation not only in the divine nature, but also in the communion of the three divine persons. This chapter presents theological perspectives showing how deification is related to each of the three distinct persons of the Trinity. With reference to Thomas Aquinas, it first shows the Trinitarian dimensions of the beatific vision, the Holy Spirit as deifying Gift, and deification through the Trinitarian missions as a participation in the communion of the Trinity. A special section is dedicated to Charles Journet, for whom deification is a participation in the Trinitarian processions. The final section deals with the divine “deifying energies” in relation to the three hypostases of the Trinity. As a conclusion, deification may be understood as an indwelling in the mutual glorification of the three divine persons, a real entrance into the Trinitarian life.
States, Alliances, and Subnational Inequality: Argentina in Comparative Perspective, 2003–2019
Authors: González Lucas I , Nazareno Marcelo 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Economic inequality is unevenly distributed across subnational territorial units, and national averages obscure this variability. What explains variations in inequality within countries? This study argues that the type of subnational governing alliance (regressive or progressive) expressed in the composition of government cabinets affects the level of provincial inequality. The study classifies and codes provincial cabinet members according to their economic, political, and social background. These sectors can form part of a progressive (unions, social, and feminist movements) or regressive (agribusiness or large energy companies) alliance. A large-N analysis of original panel data for Argentina between 2003 and 2019 provides empirical support for these claims. The study also analyzes two key cases, Chaco and Corrientes, which show how the different alliances are associated with varying results in inequality. The study concludes by exploring some comparative implications.
Transcriptional profiling of lung macrophages following ozone exposure in mice identifies signaling pathways regulating immunometabolic activation

Abstract
Macrophages play a key role in ozone-induced lung injury by regulating both the initiation and resolution of inflammation. These distinct activities are mediated by pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory/proresolution macrophages which sequentially accumulate in injured tissues. Macrophage activation is dependent, in part, on intracellular metabolism. Herein, we used RNA-sequencing (seq) to identify signaling pathways regulating macrophage immunometabolic activity following exposure of mice to ozone (0.8 ppm, 3 h) or air control. Analysis of lung macrophages using an Agilent Seahorse showed that inhalation of ozone increased macrophage glycolytic activity and oxidative phosphorylation at 24 and 72 h post-exposure. An increase in the percentage of macrophages in S phase of the cell cycle was observed 24 h post ozone. RNA-seq revealed significant enrichment of pathways involved in innate immune signaling and cytokine production among differentially expressed genes at both 24 and 72 h after ozone, whereas pathways involved in cell cycle regulation were upregulated at 24 h and intracellular metabolism at 72 h. An interaction network analysis identified tumor suppressor 53 (TP53), E2F family of transcription factors (E2Fs), cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A (CDKN1a/p21), and cyclin D1 (CCND1) as upstream regulators of cell cycle pathways at 24 h and TP53, nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group a member 1 (NR4A1/Nur77), and estrogen receptor alpha (ESR1/ERα) as central upstream regulators of mitochondrial respiration pathways at 72 h. To assess whether ERα regulates metabolic activity, we used ERα−/− mice. In both air and ozone-exposed mice, loss of ERα resulted in increases in glycolytic capacity and glycolytic reserve in lung macrophages with no effect on mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Taken together, these results highlight the complex interaction between cell cycle, intracellular metabolism, and macrophage activation which may be important in the initiation and resolution of inflammation following ozone exposure.
Perianal Ulcers from Antihemorrhoidal Ointment: A Case Report and Literature Review
Authors: García-Irigoyen Alejandro , Guzmán-Bucio Simón , Molina-López Juan Francisco , Vega-Memije María Elisa , Platonoff Adriana Lozano 
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT
Perianal ulcers (PAUs) related to antihemorrhoidal product use have been recently reported in the literature through a few case reports. However, other etiologies of PAU must be ruled out, including infectious disease, inflammatory disease, malignancy, pressure injuries, radiotherapy, and other topical drugs. In this report, the authors describe two cases of PAUs due to an antihemorrhoidal ointment. In case 1, a 68-year-old woman with a history of hemorrhoids presented with PAUs after using an antihemorrhoidal ointment for 2 months. The ulcers were assessed through a histopathologic study and treated with calcium alginate dressings, with complete re-epithelialization occurring after 2 months. In case 2, a 58-year-old woman with a history of hemorrhoids developed painful PAUs while using an antihemorrhoidal ointment for 2 months. No other probable cause was found, and the ulcers were treated by discontinuing the ointment. The ulcers showed marked improvement, and complete re-epithelialization occurred after 6 weeks without additional treatment.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the foot-health-related quality of life in individuals with versus without lower-limb lymphedema.

METHODS
A case-control study was carried out in an academic clinic in Lisbon, Portugal. Eighty participants (40 controls and 40 with lymphedema) were included in the study. The researchers examined sociodemographic and clinical data and foot-health-related quality of life in both groups. In the group with lymphedema, lower-limb lymphedema was also characterized.

RESULTS
Individuals with lower-limb lymphedema had significantly lower scores on all dimensions of the Foot Health Status Questionnaire in comparison with the control group.

CONCLUSIONS
Individuals with lower-limb lymphedema appear to have a poorer foot-health-related quality of life than the general population.
Repairing Exposed Tendon Wounds with Absorbable Gelatin Sponges and Autologous Split-Thickness Skin Grafts: A Case Series
Authors: Jing Gang , Wang LinLin 
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT
Conventional flap repair surgery has several drawbacks, including operational complexity, donor site damage, and high risk. In this case series, the authors explored an alternative approach for repairing exposed tendon wounds caused by trauma using absorbable gelatin sponges (AGSs) and autologous thigh skin grafts. This report presents two cases of lower-extremity skin necrosis with tendon exposure following wound debridement. The treatment approach involved early debridement, negative-pressure wound therapy, and wound irrigation with 0.9% sodium chloride. Upon achieving controlled wound infection, AGSs were applied to the exposed tendon to prevent degeneration and promote wound healing. Subsequently, areas where granulation tissue failed to cover the tendon were repaired using AGSs and 0.25-mm-thick autologous mesh skin grafts harvested from the thigh. Complete wound healing was achieved in both cases, on the 20th and 12th day after skin grafting, respectively. The proposed method proved successful in repairing exposed tendon wounds, effectively preventing infection and necrosis.
Is YouTube a Useful Source of Information on Pressure Injuries? A Content, Reliability, and Quality Analysis
Authors: Dünya Cansu Polat , Kara Öykü , Yiğitoğlu Eylem Toğluk 
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the comprehensiveness, reliability, and quality of YouTube videos related to pressure injuries.

METHODS
The authors searched YouTube for relevant videos using the keywords “pressure injury”, “pressure ulcer”, “bedsore”, “pressure injury etiology”, “pressure injury classification”, “pressure injury prevention”, “pressure injury risk assessment”, and “pressure injury management”. Of the 1,023 videos screened, 269 met the inclusion criteria and were included in the study. For each video, the authors recorded the number of views, likes, and comments; the length; and the video upload source. The Comprehensiveness Assessment Tool for Pressure Injuries, the Quality Criteria for Consumer Health Information score, and the Global Quality Score were used to evaluate the comprehensiveness, reliability, and quality of the videos.

RESULTS
The mean length of the 269 videos was 6.22 ± 4.62 minutes (range, 0.18-19.47 minutes). Only 14.5% of the videos (n = 39) were uploaded by universities or professional organizations. Most videos included information about PI prevention (69.5%), followed by PI management (27.9%). The mean comprehensiveness score was 2.33 ± 1.32 (range, 1-5). Nearly half of the videos (49.1%) were not reliable. However, the quality of 43.9% of the videos was somewhat useful. The Quality Criteria for Consumer Health Information mean scores of universities/professional organizations (P < .001), nonprofit healthcare professionals (P = .015), and independent health information channel videos (P = .026) were higher than the mean score of medical advertising/profit companies channel videos.

CONCLUSIONS
This study draws attention to the need for more comprehensive, high-quality, and reliable videos about PIs. It is important that videos on YouTube provide comprehensive and reliable information for patients, caregivers, students, or providers seeking information on PI prevention, assessment, and management.

Published: June 2024

Objective
Osteogenesis imperfecta is a rare connective tissue disorder with an estimated number of 4–20 cases per 100 000 inhabitants. Although the prevalence differs among regions, there are only a few number of national registry studies published previously. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of osteogenesis imperfecta among the pediatric age group in Türkiye, together with the patient and hospital characteristics.

Methods
Via the e-health database of the Turkish Ministry of Health, we collected and retrospectively evaluated the medical records of the patients who were under 18 years of age with the diagnosis of osteogenesis imperfecta between 2016 and 2022. Total number of fractures, treatment modalities, and the hospital characteristics were also recorded. Two thousand seven hundred forty patients were extracted with a mean age of 9.77 ± 4.81 years.

Results
The prevalence of osteogenesis imperfecta in Türkiye among the pediatric population was calculated as 11.6 per 100 000 individuals. The median annual incidence was 31.5 per 100 000 live births between 2016 and 2022. There were 17.4 hospital admissions per patient per year. The mean age at the time of in-hospital mortality was 4.08 ± 5.03 years. The fracture rate per patient per year was 0.56 and conservative treatment was the most commonly preferred modality for all ages.

Conclusion
This is the first registry-based nationwide study of osteogenesis imperfecta patients in Türkiye, providing important characteristics of the disease. Together with the help of the ongoing development of national health database systems, precision in patient identification would yield substantial benefits in terms of management of osteogenesis imperfecta.
Wilms’ Tumor 1-Associating Protein Promotes Nonsmall-Cell Lung Cancer Through the Expression of Carcinoembryonic Antigen-Related Cell Adhesion Molecule 5
Authors: Liu Changjiang , Gao Feng , Yang Jie , Liu Chengang , Tian Ziqiang 
Published: June 2024

Objective:
This study aimed to analyze the functional roles and molecular mechanism of Wilms’ tumor 1-associating protein (WTAP) in the tumorigenesis of nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Methods:
Retrospective analysis was used. Tumor tissues and surrounding nontumor tissues of 150 patients with NSCLS who were surgically resected in the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2016 to January 2018 were selected. The expression of WTAP in NSCLC tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry. Clinicopathologic parameters were then subjected to univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis in purpose of uncovering the independent risk factors for overall survival time. MTS (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-zyl]-5-[3-carboxymethoxyphenyl]-2-[4-sulfophenyl]-2H-tetrazoliuzolium, inner salt) assay, colony formation assay, and transwell assays were performed to estimate cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Meanwhile, the relationship between WTAP and the cell migration and invasion marker-related proteins were evaluated by Western blot analysis and RT-qPCR. WTAP expression was knocked-down in cell lines by shRNA, and RNA-Seq was performed to investigate the pathways regulated by WTAP.

Results:
In NSCLC patients, WTAP was highly expressed in tumor tissues and the higher expression was significantly associated with poor overall survival (OS) (P<0.01). Compared with the control group in vitro, the overexpression of WTAP could significantly promote cell proliferation, migration, and invasion (P<0.01), while knock-down WTAP significantly reduces the above effects (P<0.01). In a mouse orthotopic implantation model, higher WTAP abundance could significantly promote tumor enlargement compared with the control group (P<0.01). Compared with the control group, the knock-down of WTAP significantly inhibit the expression of carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 5 (CEACAM5) in cell lines (P<0.01). Besides, in NSCLC, knocked-down CEACAM5 significantly reduced the impact of WTAP on cell proliferation, migration, and invasion compared with the control group (P<0.05).

Conclusions:
This study suggests that high expression of WTAP was associated with poor clinical outcomes. CEACAM5 may play a synergistic role with WTAP to jointly promote NSCLC progression by enhancing cell proliferation, invasion, and migration.
