Published: March 2024

AbstractWireless sensor networks (WSNs) are composed of numerous nodes distributed in geographical regions. Security and energy efficiency are challenging tasks due to an open environment and a restricted battery source. The multiobjective trust‐aware artificial hummingbird algorithm (M‐TAAHA) is proposed to achieve secure and reliable transmission over a WSN with a mobile sink (MS). The M‐TAAHA selects secure cluster head (SCH) nodes based on trust, energy, interspace between sensors, interspace between SCH and MS, and the CH balancing factor. A secure route is found by M‐TAAHA with trust, energy, and interspace between SCH and MS. The M‐TAAHA avoids the malicious nodes to improve data delivery and avoid unwanted energy consumption. The M‐TAAHA is analyzed using energy consumption, alive nodes, life expectancy, delay, data packets received in MS, throughput, packet delivery ratio, and packet loss ratio. Existing techniques (LEACH‐TM, EATMR, FAL, Taylor‐spotted hyena optimization [Taylor‐SHO], TBEBR, and TEDG) are used for comparison with the M‐TAAHA. Findings show that the energy consumption of the proposed M‐TAAHA for 1000 rounds is 0.56 J (1.78 × smaller than that of the Taylor‐SHO).

Published: March 2024

En milieu rural congolais comme en milieu urbain, la divination « ngombo » est une pratique thérapeutique courante grâce auxquels beaucoup de vies humaines sont sauvées et d’aucuns n’en parlent avec clarté dans la société. Cette pratique ou rituel diagnostic et thérapeutique est tenue par des spécialistes connus chez les Suku sous les noms de (Nganga ngombo, de mukala ngombo ou de mukala mwana ngombo).
Ces professionnels de la santé travaillent sur base de la tradition parce qu’ils font appel aux esprits, aux interdits et aux us et coutumes qui participent à une stratégie thérapeutique qui aide la personne malade à surmonter certaines épreuves de la vie. Mais, cette pratique est battue en brèche par l’esprit scientifique – moderniste. Le présent article cherche à comprendre les facteurs qui entravent cette pratique divinatoire.

Introduction. The relevance of the epidemiological problems of loss of years due to diseases of the kidney and urinary tract is due to the progressive gain in the number of patients in many regions and countries of the World.
Purpose. Estimation of years of life lost due to the mortality from diseases of the urinary system (DUS) in the Pavlodar region, which is one of the industrial regions of Kazakhstan.
Materials and methods. Medical-demographic (mortality rates) and medical-statistical (primary morbidity rates) data was obtained from the Department of Statistics of the Republican Center for Electronic Health Care of the Republic of Kazakhstan (RCEHC RK). The study period was eight years (from 2015 to 2022). The Years of Life Lost (YLL) indicator was calculated according to methodological recommendations. An assessment of the relationships between population health indicators for pathologies of the urinary system (US) with social factors (gross domestic product per capita – GDP), and environmental indicators (ecological and meteorological) as possible causes of adverse events in human health was carried out using correlation and time series analysis.
Results. In the structure of years of life lost due to the mortality from US organs, chronic renal failure (CRF, 55.96–65.85%) led. In the regional center of Pavlodar, there was a peak in years lost in mortality from DUS over 2021 (3.3‰ YLLs), during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the average annual losses by age groups, in the Pavlodar region, the maximum losses were detected in the elderly (10.5‰ YLLs) and senile (15.8‰ YLLs) age. An excess of the maximum one-time concentrations of pollutants in the atmospheric air above the MPC level with the highest pollution level in 2018 was registered. Correlation analysis showed a high level of correlation between the loss of years of life because of the mortality due to US diseases with atmospheric air pollution in Ekibastuz (r = 0.80), weak –
in Pavlodar region (r = 0.28) and low – in Pavlodar (r = 0.13).
Limitations. Of the environmental pollution factors, only atmospheric air pollution factors were studied, which does not reflect all the possible effects of environmental pollution on population health. In the group of reasons with code R, the conclusion “old age” prevailed, which may have led to an inaccurate analysis of the causes of death.
Conclusion. Regional connections between the loss of years of life due to mortality due to US diseases with atmospheric air pollution and temperature in the winter season, as well as newly identified morbidity with atmospheric air pollution, have been identified.

Introduction. Workers of industrial enterprises and the population living nearby are at risk of lead poisoning. Lead exposure can lead to irreversible negative consequences for the body, including hepatic and renal dysfunction, hematopoietic damage, cognitive dysfunction, and impairment of the genetic apparatus of the human cell. In this regard, it is necessary to study characteristics of the toxic effect of lead oxide nanoparticles (PbO NPs) to determine their health effects and minimize related disorders and diseases.
The purpose of the study was to determine the level of expression of the BAX, BCL-2, P53, GSTM1, GSTP1, and SOD2 genes in various organs of laboratory rats following the exposure to lead oxide nanoparticles.
Materials and methods. Twenty mature female albino Wistar rats were used in a four month experiment with chronic inhalation exposure to PbO NPs, 10 animals per group (exposure and control). The mean concentration of PbO NPs in the inhaled air was 0.215 mg/m3. At the end of the exposure period, organ fragments from the decapitated animals were fixed in liquid nitrogen and subsequently stored in a freezer at –80 °C. Total RNA was isolated from tissues using the ExtractRNA reagent. The expression level was determined by quantitative reverse transcription real-time PCR.
Results. The BAX expression in the liver of rats exposed to PbO NPs for 4 months was by 2.2 times higher than in the control group (p=0.009). We observed a trend towards an increase in the BAX/BCL-2 ratio in hepatocytes indicating apoptotic processes. The P53 expression level was by 1.4 times higher in the olfactory bulb of the exposed rats (p=0.025) when compared to the controls. No changes were found in the expression levels of antioxidant genes GSTM1, GSTP1, and SOD2.
Limitations. The study was conducted using female Wistar rats with no potential sex differences taken into account.
Conclusion. Chronic inhalation exposure to PbO NPs induces apoptosis in rat liver through the BAX/BCL-2 pathway and rat brain through the regulation of P53.
Classifications of personality trait lexemes (exemplified by the lexis of Russian and English)
Authors: Shelestyuk Elena V. 
Published: March 2024

The article introduces the concept of characterologism — a lexeme denoting a character trait in conjunction with the concept it expresses. Three groups of classifications of characterologisms are identified: ontological, linguoculturological and linguistic. The ontological group reflects the essence of characterological concepts/concepts and the meanings of corresponding lexemes. It includes a number of classifications, namely everyday and scientific classifications, as well as a classification of constant and situational characterological units. The linguoculturological group reflects the linguocultural aspects of characterologisms, the first classification includes cross-cultural universals and culturally determined characterological concepts, the second — characterologisms simple and complex in semantics. The linguistic group corresponds to various linguistic aspects of characterological vocabulary. It includes the following classifications of characterological units: synonymous/antonymic series in combination with etymological characteristics, semantic, stylistic, idiomatic, syntactic, morphological and word-building (morphemic) classifications.
The Rise and Fall of Liz Truss in English-Language Media Coverage
Authors: Shekhovtsova Eva E. 
Published: March 2024

Using the example of the life and work of former British Prime Minister Liz Truss, this article examines the problem of perception and evaluation of the personality of a female politician by media representatives. The aim of the study is to examine the sociolinguistic markers used in the English-language media in 2022, which characterise Liz Truss. The objectives of the research are to search for information about her biography and career growth, as well as to analyse articles published on the websites of leading English-language media in order to select sociolinguistic markers that assess the personality and the work of the ex-prime minister. As a result of the study, the hypothesis was confirmed that the media had a positive attitude towards Liz Truss’s coming to power, which was quickly replaced by a negative attitude due to her failure to bring about social and economic transformation in the UK. The result of the work was a corpus of sociolinguistic markers that characterise the personality and activities of Truss, which allow us to argue that the negative attitude towards the prime minister was not based on gender, but on a failure to fulfil the expectations that society had of her.
Reimagining at the Sources

Published: March 2024

Re-imagining at the Sources offers the fruits of a lifetime’s reflection on the Bible and its role within the Christian faith, from a respected scholar and priest. Atwell lays out the history of Israel, and the biblical roots of Christian faith from the origins of Israel’s religious traditions to Jesus of Nazareth.
This book explores the sources of faith and analyses the complex faith-journey that has taken place as Israel’s religious traditions have developed. The book provides a single coherent account which joins up the period covered by Israel’s early religious traditions with that of Second Temple Judaism, and the world of Jesus of Nazareth. A distinctive feature of the volume is its focus on apocalyptic literature.
Addiction and the Captive Will
Authors: Geppert Cynthia M. A. 
Published: March 2024

Twenty-first century neuroscience has discovered that in some severe cases, addiction may so constrain human freedom that the will is only able to choose to use substances of abuse. At this advanced stage, substance use has become the primary driver of salience, co-opting and subsuming other moral priorities and human rewards. Scholars have investigated Aristotle’s concept of akrasia as an ancient mirror of this understanding and there have been some preliminary discussions of Augustine’s concept of the divided will as it bears on addiction.
No detailed and comprehensive exploration of the work of Augustine has yet been undertaken as it relates to three contemporary models of addiction: the choice, learning, and brain disease models. Augustine’s psychological awareness, his mastery of ancient theological and philosophical thinking, and his enormous and enduring influence on both Catholic and Protestant theology, make him an ideal subject for such research. This incisive book argues that Augustine’s doctrine of the captive will offers a theological parallel of each of these contemporary models of addiction.
The Book of Unveiling

Published: March 2024

I.B. Tauris in association with the Institute of Ismaili Studies.
The Kitab al-Kashf is one of the earliest Ismaili texts to have reached the present day. Transmitted by the Tayybi Ismaili tradition, it is composed of six treatises, most of which, as this open access study and first English translation argues, go back to the early years of the Fatimid rule.
The importance of this work is predicated upon the unique insight it offers on the early stages of the elaboration of Ismaili doctrine. A number of parallels with Twelver Shi’i, as well as ghulat and Nusayri sources, are highlighted throughout this study, which, by contrast, allow for the identification of specifically Ismaili themes and doctrines, before and after the rise to power of the Fatimids. The Kashf is thus an essential witness to the way early Ismailism, while drawing from a pool of themes common to several Shi’i trends, nevertheless formed its own distinctive identity.
Since it was edited by Rudolf Strothmann for the first time in 1952, the Kashf has attracted the attention of several generations of scholars, but did not benefit from a full annotated translation and extensive study highlighting its structure and aims until now.

Islam, Education, and Freedom
Authors: Brooks Melanie C. , Ezzani Miriam D. 
Published: March 2024

Islam, Education and Freedom explores six key areas of freedom, identity, pedagogy, diversity, conflict, trust and love, showing their import in Islam. Based on a qualitative case study of a progressive Islamic school in Southern California, North Star Academy, the book illustrates through the voices of the participants how each particular freedom was applied in the school. The authors show how the six freedoms were understood, taught, and practiced with the clear aim to develop proud American Muslims. It explores the ways the school leaders facilitate and impart each freedom and the influence this has on the development of American Muslim students' identity.
The book culminates with a model for freedom in Islamic schooling. It concludes with three key insights: (1) Islamic schooling can facilitate or constrain the way that leaders, teacher, students, and the school community experience freedom; (2) as freedom is a core value of Islam, it should be made central to the conceptualisation and practice of Islamic schooling; and, (3) Islamic schooling, when grounded in the six freedoms, can be a pathway to comprehensive school reform and is applicable to Islamic schools in the global north. The book includes a Foreword written by Khaula Murtadha, Associate Vice Chancellor for the Office of Community Engagement, Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis, USA

Considering Butler’s “tragic trilogy”—a set of interventions on Sophocles’ Antigone, Euripides’ Bacchae, and Aeschylus’s Eumenides—this book seeks to understand not just how Butler uses and interprets Greek tragedy, but also how tragedy shapes Butler’s thinking, even when their gaze is directed elsewhere. Through close readings of these tragedies, this book brings to light the tragic quality of Butler’s writing. It shows how Butler’s mode of reading tragedy—and, crucially, reading tragically—offers a distinctive ethico-political response to the harrowing dilemmas of our current moment.
Deeply committed both to critical theory and political activism, Judith Butler is one of the most influential intellectuals today. Their ideas have touched the lives of many people, both readers and those who have never heard Butler’s name. In encompassing gender performativity and sexual difference, vulnerability and precarity, disidentification and bodily interdependency, as well as the politics of protest, Butler’s work is often predicated on a strong engagement with or proximity to Greek tragedy.
Radical Acts
Authors: Severs George J. 
Published: March 2024

Drawing on activist campaign literature and materials, broadcast media, and new oral history interviews, Severs reconstructs and discusses the overlooked world of radical AIDS activism in England. This book provides one of the first detailed histories of the radical HIV/AIDS movement in England, following ACT UP’s travels from New York to London via prominent queer intellectuals, and reconstructing the vibrant theatrical campaigns staged by ACT UP groups across England.
Radical Acts explores expressions of activism that were far more common than demonstrations and marches. Manifestations of a political commitment to ameliorating the injustices facing people living with HIV permeated most aspects of everyday life. These forms of ‘everyday activism’ played out in workplaces, universities and church halls across England, as well as through networks that stretched across Europe and North America. This book breaks new ground by studying the radical alongside the everyday, presenting a diverse constellation of activist responses to the epidemic.
Derek Jarman’s Visionary Arts
Authors: Charlesworth Michael 
Published: March 2024

Derek Jarman’s place in the history of film is assured by virtue of his vibrant, defiant films that experiment with the very process of film-making and create new forms. His paintings, their excitements and their profundity, are less well known.
Michael Charlesworth sheds light on the varied ramifications of Jarman’s artistic practice from his years at Prospect Cottage, Dungeness, and provides the first book-length study of his interest in depth psychology. He draws on Jarman’s paintings, especially his landscapes from the 1960s and 70s, his multiple series such as ’black’ and ’broken glass’, GBH, Queer and Evil Queen, and his last Ecstatic Landscapes (1991–3). He also showcases Jarman’s excellence as a writer with respect to his memoir, Kicking the Pricks. In a novel approach to Jarman’s cinema, selecting films such as Journey to Avebury (1973), Caravaggio (1986), The Garden (1990) and Blue (1993), Charlesworth emphasizes themes and artistry rather than narrative.
Exploring the ways in which Jungian and post–Jungian psychology were absorbed into Jarman’s varied works, Derek Jarman’s Visionary Arts provides a fresh perspective on his painting, film and writing. It celebrates him as one of the major British artists of the late 20th century, engaging with current debates about queer sexualities, environmentalism and climate catastrophe.
Revolutionary Emotions in Cold War Egypt
Authors: Sarah Christiane-Marie Abu 
Published: March 2024

In autumn 1951, a diverse array of Muslim, Christian, and Jewish students from clubs like the Muslim Brotherhood and the Worker’s Vanguard launched a guerrilla struggle against British occupation of the Suez Canal Zone. Revolutionary Emotions in Cold War Egypt recovers this overshadowed revolution of 1951, and the part played by the “Canal struggle” in the overthrow of the Egyptian monarchy.
In a study spanning a half-dozen international archives, the book delves into the divisive court cases and rousing club newspapers, intimate memoirs and personal poetry of Egyptian activists. These documents reveal that in the early years of the Cold War, morality tales and moral emotions were at the heart of the methods and the successes of Egyptian activists.
What stories did activists tell, and how did the emotional appeals and “moral talk” of Islamist and communist clubs compare? How did Arabic-speaking populations negotiate moral norms, and what role did emotions like love, anger, and disgust play in political campaigns? Taking a journey through Islamic parables about perilous beaches, communist adaptations of Greek myths, and popular stories about Juha’s Nail and Paul Revere’s Ride through the Suez Canal, this book uncovers a rich history of activist storytelling. These practices uncover the mechanics of morality tales, and reveal how activists used narratives to convert emotion to motion and drive social change. Still vitally important for readers today, such findings shed light on how paramilitary groups and protest movements use moral appeals to attract support—and why activist campaigns become the controversial epicentre of polarizing emotional battles.
