Variations on a Theme: Heidegger and Judaism
Authors: Herskowitz Daniel M. 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This essay surveys a number of prominent, recurring, and new directions in the growing scholarly discourse on the theme “Heidegger and Judaism” arranged under three headings. The first, the contrastive framing, encompasses cases in which the relationship between Heidegger and Judaism is perceived as antithetical. The second, the conjunctive framing, encompasses views claiming the existence of affinities and parallels between Heidegger and Judaism, grouped under three subheadings: “Heidegger and biblical thinking,” “Heidegger and Kabbalah,” and “Heidegger and the Jewish nation.” The third, historical perspectives, uses the approach of intellectual history to explore visions of Judaism that are developed as part of engagements with Heidegger’s philosophy.
Brokenness of Being and Errancy of Ontological Untruth: Susan Taubes’s Criticism of Heidegger’s Seinsdenken
Authors: Wolfson Elliot R. 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
In this study, I examine Susan Taubes’s criticism of Heidegger’s Seinsdenken that pivots around her contention that he absolutized the nothingness of being in a manner that is analogous to but yet significantly different than the role assigned to the Godhead on the part of many mystical visionaries. The common denominator is in Heidegger’s insistence on being to the neglect of fully engaging with the rhythms of life. As a consequence, there is no purchase on the chaotic, which falls outside the purview of what can be signified, and in the absence of the unsignifiable, there can be no signification. Every attempt to reconstruct the broken world into a totality contains the flaw of an ontological untruth. The effort at totalization is not only the methodological weakness of tragedy and mysticism, but it is also the nihilistic basis of the role accorded to the nothingness of being in Heidegger’s Seinsdenken. The erroneous nature of the world is not denied by Susan, but she struggled to uphold the ontological untruth that what is most wrong in our existence is what is most precious. The paradoxical retrieval of the truth of this untruth affords the poetic soul the opportunity to confront the limit by breaking it, an infringement of boundary that is redolent equally with the enduring transience of love and the transient endurance of death.
Gagarin Sixty Years Later: Earth and Place after Heidegger and Levinas
Authors: Cools Arthur 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
In this article I re-examine the well-known distinction between rootedness and uprootedness that Emmanuel Levinas draws in his short text “Heidegger, Gagarin and Us” (1961). This distinction addresses the relation between men and place either as an attachment to place (paganism, Heidegger) or as a freedom with regard to place (Judaism, Gagarin). I question this opposition from a contemporary perspective in environmental philosophy, namely from the growing awareness of the interconnectedness between place and Earth. I contend that this new perspective changes the understanding of dwelling today because of Earth’s exteriority with regard to place. I argue that this exteriority is neither infinite nor a totality.
Person indexation in Dpal.ri Smar
Authors: ZHAO Haoliang 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
The article describes the person indexation system of Dpal.ri Smar, a little-studied Trans-Himalayan language spoken in Chab.mdo, Tibet. It gives paradigms of intransitive and transitive verbs, and categorizes verbs into different conjugations, revealing complex morphophonological rules. Additionally, it compares the system to Rgyalrongic languages, and explores the origin of the second person suffix “-əm” which is unique in the Trans-Himalayan family.
What triggered the human-wildlife conflicts in Bangladesh between forest proximity people and wildlife? A responsive study
Authors: Islam Md. Ziaul , Wang Shuwei 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Reflecting upon the distressing situation of human-wildlife conflict (HWC), this study has identified numerous factors that exacerbate the HWC issue in Bangladesh, including a lack of awareness, a prevalent disregard for the law, inadequate punitive measures, institutional weaknesses, socio-economic challenges, a burgeoning population, a refugee crisis, rampant deforestation, encroachment upon natural habitats, migratory challenges faced by wildlife, and the influence of national and global politics. It is evident that these multifaceted elements significantly contribute to the escalation of HWC. The regions of Chittagong-Hill Tracts (CHT), the Sundarbans, and central-northern Bangladesh are facing a pressing HWC issue that demands our immediate attention. Tragically, over the past two decades, more than 118 elephants have lost their lives, while these creatures claimed 13 human lives in 2017–2018. Furthermore, tigers, an emblem of strength and beauty, have been responsible for the demise of approximately 50 individuals between 2009 and 2010. Astonishingly, the year 2022 has already witnessed a count of 375 HWCs. Therefore, this study delves deeper into the root causes of HWC in Bangladesh and proposes effective preventive measures to safeguard the endangered species, specifically the Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) and Bengal tigers (Panthera tigris tigris), who bear the brunt of these conflicts.
Storm Gust Prediction with the Integration of Machine Learning Algorithms and WRF Model Variables for the Northeast United States
Authors: Jahan Israt , Cerrai Diego , Astitha Marina 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Wind gusts are often associated with severe hazards and can cause structural and environmental damages, making gust prediction a crucial element of weather forecasting services. In this study, we explored the utilization of machine learning (ML) algorithms integrated with numerical weather prediction outputs from the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model, to align the estimation of wind gust potential with observed gusts. We have used two ML algorithms, namely, random forest (RF) and extreme gradient boosting (XGB), along with two statistical techniques: generalized linear model with identity link function (GLM-Identity) and generalized linear model with log link function (GLM-Log), to predict storm wind gusts for the northeast (NE) United States. We used 61 simulated extratropical and tropical storms that occurred between 2005 and 2020 to develop and validate the ML and statistical models. To assess the ML model performance, we compared our results with postprocessed gust potential from WRF. Our findings showed that ML models, especially XGB, performed significantly better than statistical models and Unified Post Processor for the WRF (WRF-UPP) Model and were able to better align predicted with observed gusts across all storms. The ML models faced challenges capturing the upper tail of the gust distribution, and the learning curves suggested that XGB was more effective than RF in generating better predictions with fewer storms.

Abstract
Despite southern South America being recognized as a hotspot for deep convective storms, little is known about the socioenvironmental impacts of high-impact weather (HIW) events. Although there have been past efforts to collect severe weather reports in the region, they have been highly fragmented among and within countries, sharing no common protocol, and limited to a particular phenomenon, a very specific region, or a short period of time. There is a pressing need for a more comprehensive understanding of the present risks linked to HIW events, specifically deep convective storms, on a global scale as well as their variability and potential future evolution in the context of climate change. A database of high-quality and systematic HIW reports and associated socioenvironmental impacts is essential to understand the regional atmospheric conditions leading to hazardous weather, to quantify its predictability, and to build robust early warning systems. To tackle this problem and following successful initiatives in other regions of the world, researchers, national weather service members, and weather enthusiasts from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay have embarked on a multinational collaboration to generate a standardized database of reports of HIW events principally associated with convective storms and their socioenvironmental impacts in South America. The goal of this paper is to describe this unprecedented initiative over the region, to summarize first results, and to discuss the potential applications of this collaboration.
Leveraging Collaborative Partnerships to Enhance NWS and Emergency Management Communications through Exercising

Published: April 2024

Abstract
Tabletop exercises examining weather-related hazards are not uncommon but are often built around somewhat generic scenarios that only touch on the meteorological communication environment at a very shallow level. A recent exercise in central Oklahoma sought to change that. A local emergency manager, personnel from a National Weather Service (NWS) forecast office, and a severe weather researcher with a background in exercise design and facilitation worked together to create and deliver a realistic severe weather simulation. Exercise participants were exposed to detailed forecast information via NWSChat—a dedicated communication tool used to connect NWS forecasters, emergency managers, and media members for real-time information sharing. NWS forecasters were able to both actively play in the exercise due to the use of NWSChat and observe how local decision-makers interpreted and utilized the impact-based decision support service (IDSS) graphics and short-term forecast updates. The collaborative approach of developing a detailed scenario with numerous real-world IDSS graphics, along with the use of NWSChat for real-time delivery, resulted in overwhelmingly positive feedback from the participants. The local emergency management office identified numerous areas for improvement in communicating real-time forecast information across their jurisdiction, along with gaps in current plans and resources. Meanwhile, the NWS forecast office had the opportunity to experiment with using the new NWSChat platform in a high-impact severe weather environment before a real-world event took place. Forecasters also gained insight into current IDSS graphic interpretation, noting areas for improved messaging to end users, such as adding storm motion to existing severe weather graphics.
The Influence of Topography on the Diurnal Rainfall Propagation in the Bay of Bengal
Authors: Chen ZiJian , Du Yu 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
A significant diurnal offshore propagation of rainfall is observed extending from the eastern coast of India to the central Bay of Bengal. This study focuses on understanding the influence of topography over the Indian subcontinent on this rainfall propagation through a series of semi-idealized mesoscale numerical simulations. These simulations with varying topography highlight the crucial role of inertia–gravity waves, driven by diurnal mountain–land–sea thermal contrast between India and the Bay of Bengal, in initiating and promoting the offshore propagation of convective systems in the Bay. These waves’ phase speed of around 14.8 m s−1 aligns well with the speed of diurnal rainfall propagation. Even after eliminating the impact of Indian topography, the offshore propagating signal persists, suggesting a secondary rather than dominant effect of terrain on offshore rainfall propagation. Furthermore, the topography affects the depth of diurnal heating within the land’s boundary layer, which thus influences the amplitude, phase, and speed of the inertia–gravity waves. Specifically, the presence of higher mountains along the coastal area drives faster waves by increasing heating depth, resulting in faster rainfall propagation.

Significance Statement
This study advances our comprehension of the fundamental driver behind diurnal offshore rainfall propagation and the manner in which coastal terrain influences the rainfall pattern. We demonstrate that the diurnal offshore propagation of rainfall is closely related to inertia–gravity waves generated by thermal contrasts, and we successfully distinguish these waves in our study. Furthermore, our findings indicate that elevated coastal topography contributes to a greater heating depth near the coastline, which plays a crucial role in driving faster gravity waves and, consequently, leading to faster rainfall propagation. These outcomes provide a deeper insight into the mechanism governing offshore rainfall propagation and underscore the impact of real-world topography.
The Challenges of Advance Care Planning for Acute Care Registered Nurses
Authors: Rietze Lori L. , Stajduhar Kelli I. , Purkis Mary Ellen , Cloutier Denise 
Published: April 2024

Study Background The practice of acute care nurses is shaped by organizational factors such as lack of privacy, heavy workloads, unclear roles, lack of time, and lack of specific policies and procedures. We know little about the social and organizational structures and processes that influence nurses’ uptake of valuable patient-centered discussions like advance care planning (ACP). ACP is beneficial for patients, their substitute decision makers, and healthcare providers. Purpose To describe the operational, organizational, and societal influences shaping nurses’ ACP work in acute care settings. Methods This ethnographic study purposively sampled 14 registered nurses and 9 administrators who worked in two acute care hospitals in Northeastern Ontario. Methods consisted of 23 open-ended, semi-structured interviews, 20 hours of observational fieldwork, and a collection of publicly available organizational documents. Data were inductively analyzed using an iterative constant comparative approach. Results Nurses were challenged to meet multiple competing demands, leaving them to scramble to manage complex and critically ill acute care patients while also fulfilling organizational tasks aligned with funding metrics, accreditation, and strategic planning priorities. Such factors limited nurses’ capacity to engage their patients in ACP. Conclusions Acute care settings that align patient values and medical treatment need to foster ACP practices by revising organizational policies and processes to support this outcome, analyzing the tasks of healthcare providers to determine who might best address it, and budgeting how to support it with additional resources.
Prognostic and predictive biomarkers with therapeutic targets in nonsmall-cell lung cancer: A 2023 update on current development, evidence, and recommendation
Authors: Chung Clement , Umoru Godsfavour 
Published: April 2024

Background Since the publication of the original work in 2014, significant progress has been made in the characterization of genomic alterations that drive oncogenic addiction of nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and how the immune system can leverage non-oncogenic pathways to modulate therapeutic outcomes. This update evaluates and validates the recent and emerging data for prognostic and predictive biomarkers with therapeutic targets in NSCLC. Data sources We performed a literature search from January 2015 to October 2023 using the keywords non-small cell lung cancer, clinical practice guidelines, gene mutations, genomic assay, immune cancer therapy, circulating tumor DNA, predictive and prognostic biomarkers, and targeted therapies. Study selection and data extraction We identified, reviewed, and evaluated relevant clinical trials, meta-analyses, seminal articles, and published clinical practice guidelines in the English language. Data synthesis Regulatory-approved targeted therapies include those somatic gene alterations of EGFR (“classic” mutations, exon 20 insertion, and rare EGFR mutations), ALK, ROS1, BRAF V600, RET, MET, NTRK, HER2, and KRAS G12C. Data for immunotherapy and circulating tumor DNA in next-generation sequencing are considered emerging, whereas the predictive role for PIK3CA gene mutation is insufficient. Conclusions Advances in sequencing and other genomic technologies have led to identifying novel oncogenic drivers, novel resistance mechanisms, and co-occurring mutations that characterize NSCLC, creating further therapeutic opportunities. The benefits associated with immunotherapy in the perioperative setting hold initial promise, with their long-term results awaiting.
The Populist Name Game: About Populism and Naming
Authors: Kidron Uri , Ish-Shalom Piki 
Published: April 2024

For populist leaders, naming is an important political tool, helping them to consolidate their leadership while harming the legitimacy of their opponents. The article offers a theoretical framework explaining populist tactical uses of naming; how they name and misname their opponents. The explanation locates the naming tactics within the overall populist framework as a thin-centered ideology. The following three naming tactics are described and analyzed: (1) coining ridiculing nicknames, (2) appropriating existing nicknames, and (3) avoiding the opponent’s name. To substantiate the theoretical arguments, we discursively analyze these three tactics, as were employed by the former US president, Donald Trump, the prime minister of Israel, Binyamin Netanyahu, and the president of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin.

Published: April 2024

Paclitaxel eluting balloons and stents reduce the development of intimal hyperplasia and restenosis rate after endovascular treatment for peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in the lower extremities. As diabetes mellitus (DM) worsens the prognosis in PAD patients after invasive endovascular treatment, we assessed the effects of drug eluting technology for PAD with special focus on effects in patients with and without DM. All Swedish patients registered in the Swedish vascular registry Swedvasc after vascular or endovascular surgery for intermittent claudication, IC; (n=1948) or chronic limb threatening ischemia, CLTI (n=3353) in 2013 to 2015 were followed up regarding a composite of either major amputation and/or mortality during median 607 days and for reinterventions for PAD during median 522 days. Patients with DM registered in the Swedish National Diabetes Registry (NDR) and patients without DM were evaluated separately. The 201 CLTI patients with DM treated with drug eluting methods had a lower adjusted risk for amputation or mortality after adjustment than the 1476 CLTI patients with DM treated without drug eluting methods (hazard ratio [HR] 0.712 [0.562-0.901], P=.005). There were no differences among IC patients. Regarding the need for reinterventions for PAD, there were no differences between patients treated with and without drug eluting methods, irrespectively of the presence or absence of DM. In conclusion, this nationwide follow-up study indicated potential benefits of drug eluting treatment in CLTI patients with diabetes. The results need to be evaluated and confirmed in prospective randomized studies. Clinical Impact This retrospective observational registry trial combines national registries for vascular surgical procedures and diabetes mellitus to clarify results of drug eluting technology in treating diabetic subjects with intermittent claudication or chronic limb threatening ischemia compared to treatment of non-diabetic subjects. As earlier proposed and showed in this trial, there may be an implication for a beneficial treatment efficacy with drug eluting therapy in the diabetic population with PAD compared to the non-diabetic population. A finding worth further exploration.

Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the factors associated with decreasing diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) positive areas in patients with large early ischemic changes after mechanical thrombectomy (MT). Materials and Methods This retrospective single-center clinical study was conducted between January 2013 and December 2022. We included consecutive patients who underwent MT for acute large-vessel occlusion of the anterior circulation with low pretreatment DWI-Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Scores (ASPECTS) (0–5), effective recanalization [thrombolysis in cerebral infarction (TICI) 2b or TICI3], and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) acquired before and after MT. We measured the DWI-positive area volume before and after MT. The primary endpoint was the after/before-MT DWI-positive area–volume ratio. Results In total, 28 patients were included in this study. Eight patients (29%) had an after/before-MT DWI-positive area–volume ratio of <1. The median mean apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) levels of the DWI-positive areas in the groups with a ratio of <1 or >1 were 717 × 10⁶ mm2/s and 637 × 106 mm2/s, respectively ( p = 0.011). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that ADC level (OR, 1.020 [95% confidence intervals (CIs), 1.001–1.040]; p = 0.040) was an independent predictor of a decreased DWI-positive area after MT. There was a negative correlation between the mean ADC level and the after/before-MT DWI-positive area–volume ratio ( p < 0.001, | ρ| = 0.650), and the mean pretreatment ADC cutoff level was 649 × 106 mm2/s (area under the curve (AUC) = 0.806) for predicting a volume ratio of <1. Conclusions The mean ADC level before-MT correlated with the after/before-MT DWI-positive area–volume ratio. A mean pretreatment ADC cutoff level of 649 × 106 mm2/s predicted a decreased DWI-positive area after MT.
