Pazopanib-induced trismus in a young male with metastatic renal cell carcinoma: a case report and literature review
Authors: Benhima Nada , El Fadli Mohammed , Essâdi Ismail , Belbaraka Rhizlane 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The treatment landscape of advanced kidney cancer has radically changed over the years. Targeting tumor angiogenesis from historical cytokines to multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitors and recently the advent of immunotherapy resulted in a radical improvement in survival but presented substantial challenges in terms of toxicity management. In countries where the access to immune checkpoints inhibitors is still very limited, tyrosine-kinase inhibitors remain the optimal choice. The toxicity profile of these agents can influence both the clinician and the patient’s preference for one molecule over another. This report describes the case of a young man treated with Pazopanib in a first-line setting for stage IV renal carcinoma who developed trismus under treatment. The occurrence of this off-target toxicity has made the patient ineligible for anti-angiogenic drugs. Although side effects of tyrosine kinase inhibitors seem manageable and reversible, some less known and unusual effects may evolve into severe and irreversible complications.
False-negative qualitative human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) test result (‘hook effect’) with classical ultrasound findings of complete molar pregnancy: an uncommon case
Authors: Phillipo Daud , Lucas Samson , Kalunga Mary Peter , Inyasi Elizabeth , Lebba Jesca Paul , Sudai Frank Martin , Bizimana Jean Kalibushi 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
False-negative qualitative Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) result is a phenomenon in which large amounts of β-hCG are produced by molar pregnancy, oversaturating the test’s assay system and leading to false-negative results known as the ‘prozone phenomenon’ or the ‘hook effect’. This can lead to misdiagnosis and delay in management despite high suspicious clinical and ultrasound findings. We report a case of an 18-year-old female who presented to our health facility with amenorrhea of 16 weeks, lower abdominal pain, soft and large fundal height for gestational age, and cramping with slight per-vaginal bleeding, and a negative urinary pregnancy test (UPT). Based on clinical presentation, ultrasound findings and a positive UPT after urine dilution, molar pregnancy was diagnosed. Aspiration was performed under ultrasound guidance, and follow-up was done as per MSF guidelines. HCPs need to be familiar with some rare cases for which the possibility of finding false-negative UPT is likely.
Congenital erythropoietic porphyria five years observation with standard treatment: a case report
Authors: Kamalyan Marine , Mohammadi Mohammadmahdi 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Porphyrias are a group of diseases characterized by a deficiency of enzymes in the haem biosynthetic pathway. Congenital Erythropoietic porphyria is a rare autosomal-recessive disorder lacking uroporphyrinogen III synthase. This inherited deficiency results in accumulating uroporphyrinogen I and coproporphyrinogen I in the bone marrow, skin, bones, and other tissues, ultimately excreted via urine and faeces. Clinical manifestations include severe photosensitivity on open body parts with blisters, scarring, hypertrichosis, and mutilations. We describe the first case of CEP in Armenia, with a diagnosis performed in Centre Francais Des (LBMR) Porphyries (France, Paris). It concerns a 22-year-old Armenian man suffering from photosensitivity, excessive hair growth, mutilation, and pink urine discolouration. The five years of follow-up have revealed worsening symptomatology despite preventative measures and demonstrate that standard recommendations did not alleviate the patient’s deteriorating conditions. A cure with an allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplant is under strong consideration.
The Literary History of Deuteronomy
Authors: Hagedorn Anselm C. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Deuteronomy presents itself a series of farewell speeches delivered by Moses in the plains of Moab on the last day of his life. The addressees are a new generation of Israelites who are prepared for the entry into the land. Deuteronomy, then, marks a pause on Israel’s path towards the Promised Land and its main focus appears to be the realisation of the promise and law of Yahweh. In contrast to previous stipulations delivered to the people of Israel in the Sinai, Deuteronomy indicates the end of the era of divine legislation. Everything that follows should be read as a Mosaic interpretation of previously promulgated stipulations. The result of such reinterpretation is tôrāh (Deut. 1:15). This tôrāh is a rich blend of legal stipulations, social and political guidelines, religious teaching, and catechism that is to be handed down from one generation to another. The present form of Deuteronomy is necessitated by the reality of human death and the need to pass the faith on to another generation.
Archaeology and the Maqom Sanctuary in Deuteronomy
Authors: Arbino Gary P. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This chapter traces the role archaeology has played in investigating Deuteronomy’s instructions for the maqom sanctuary. A brief introduction situates this chapter to the key issues regarding this sanctuary which have engaged literary scholars since De Wette. It outlines the findings of Near Eastern archaeology in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries specifically related to the ritual landscape of the southern Levant during the Iron Age and briefly addresses determinations of realia as cultic. The work reviews these archaeological data within three foundational and ongoing conversations concerning the maqom: the Jerusalem Temple, bamot and other sanctuaries, and Iron Age IIB centralizing reform movements. Arising in the 1970s and 1980s, amid an ongoing proliferation of excavations, new theories, methods, and explanations have presented challenges to established interpretations. This chapter surveys recent archaeological explications of the artifacts, nature, and history of religious expression in Judah and Israel, concluding with an evaluative summary and proposal.
Social-Aesthetic Strategies for a Change of Heart
Authors: Sacks Shelley 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This chapter introduces the Connective Practice Approach a redemptive, social-aesthetic practice that enables a change of heart. This approach is of special relevance to engaging with personal and social dilemmas caused by mutually exclusive and disconnected ways of thinking and living in the world. Central features of this approach and its transformative potential are shared through ‘guiding images’, its ‘making social honey’ theory of change, and a connective imagination, ‘inner atelier’ methodology that is integral to this social honey process. Connective practice examples described as ‘instruments of consciousness’ highlight (i) the necessity of individual insight for enabling collective insight, and (ii) the phenomenological process of bracketing or epoché for clearing the inner space, for ‘seeing what we think’, for making shifts, and for developing new imaginaries. Connecting forms of mindfulness and Joseph Beuys’ ‘social sculpture’ ideas about the ‘invisible materials’ of speech, discussion, and thought, this chapter (a) offers an expanded notion of the aesthetic as all that enlivens, (b) sees responsibility as an ability-to-respond, (c) explores capacities needed for a living future, (d) reveals the sacramental nature of connecting inner and outer work, and (e) of coming to insights individually and together as a process of resurrecting the overlooked, uncared-for, crucified world in us.
Pluralism in Practice
Authors: Kapiszewski Diana , MacLean Lauren M. , Read Benjamin L. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Fieldwork in our discipline embodies both epistemological and methodological pluralism. Pluralism in field research entails different understandings of how knowledge is created, of how politics is studied, as well as of who we are as individual scholars and research teams, and of how our multiple identities intersect with dynamic landscapes of power in our field sites. This chapter considers three trends in methodological writing on, and in the practice of, fieldwork. We posit that each trend strengthens fieldwork as a form of research, and both reflects and promotes pluralism. First, the chapter examines how the practice of field research reveals the importance of the researcher’s positionality and encourages reflexivity and an interpretive sensibility, potentially increasing mutual understanding among scholars who conduct fieldwork. Second, it highlights efforts to produce knowledge in more inclusive ways by conducting engaged or collaborative research, empowering more rigorous and meaningful scholarship. Third, it notes how “digital fieldwork” can facilitate the involvement of more research participants, make forms of fieldwork more accessible to a wider set of scholars, and enable the ethical and responsible sharing of data generated through fieldwork. These pluralistic trends can enrich fieldwork’s conduct and processes, enhancing the resulting scholarship and increasing fieldwork’s impact in the broader discipline.
Borges’s Reception in Europe and the USA
Authors: Williamson Edwin 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Borges’s success abroad was due to two factors: first, his Ficciones attracted a new generation of writers looking to break away from the social and psychological realism of postwar fiction. Second, a critique of Enlightenment rationalism was under way in France, which then melded with American postmodernism to provide fertile ground for his reception. But this appropriation by foreign elites resulted in a perception of Borges as a deracinated, cerebral writer enclosed in an ivory tower, for whom fiction entailed an impersonal “rewriting” of earlier texts. Borges, however, claimed that his stories were “about myself, my personal experiences.” In a later phase of the reception process, scholars in the “Global North” broke new ground by situating the work more fully in its historical and biographical contexts.
From the Other Side of the Library
Authors: Saítta Sylvia 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of Borges’s involvement in written media, arguing that, between the 1920s and the end of the 1950s, the press and periodicals were the first venues in which Borges circulated his literature, making them the site upon which he constructed his image as a public figure. Thus, this chapter studies Borges’s undertakings in literary and avant-garde journals of the 1920s (Prisma, Proa, Martín Fierro); his entrance into the pages of major newspapers and popular magazines (La Prensa, Crítica, El Hogar); his executive leadership of journals (Destiempo, Los Anales de Buenos Aires); his more regular participation in Sur; and, finally, Borges’s new media profile in newspapers and magazines after he was made Director of the National Library in 1955.
The Education Divide and Support for Populists
Authors: van Slageren Jaap , Rooduijn Matthijs 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The growing political importance of the education divide has been extensively studied and is often linked to the growth of populist parties. This chapter examines this education-populism association by asking whether it is really populism that is appealing to lower-educated citizens. Using a literature review and novel analyses, it shows that this is not the case. There is strong evidence for a negative relation between educational attainment and support for radical right-wing populist parties, but not for radical left-wing or other types of populists. This suggests it is not (solely) the particular populist message of radical right-wing populist parties that attracts lower-educated voters, but their nativist message—either as the main cause or in combination with populism. The chapter thus re-emphasizes that it is of essential importance not to equate nativism and populism: while there is a clear educational divide for nativism, this is not the case for populism.
Transforming the Body by Mastering the Elements, Some Tantric Sources
Authors: Ondračka Lubomir 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The elements (mahābhūtas), the building blocks of the material world according to most Indian doctrinal systems, are used in various ways in tantric rituals. The most common use is in the ritual of purification of the elements (bhūtaśuddhi), which is a preparatory act before commencing tantric worship. Another technique is the mastery of the elements (bhūtajaya), in which the practitioner gains control over a given element by holding the breath or mind (or both) at specific places in the body. Successful performance of this practice (usually called fixation, dhāraṇā) brings great effects, particularly various bodily perfections. This chapter briefly introduces the bhūtaśuddhi ritual and then discusses the technique of mastering the elements in the sources of various tantric traditions (Śaivasiddhānta, Non-Saiddhāntika Śaivas, Pāñcarātra, and Buddhism).
Land Institutions and Agricultural Modernization in China
Authors: Ye Jingzhong 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The fact of less land and a large population in China leads to a basic condition of “small peasants and huge country” based on which China has been pursuing modernization and an agrarian transition. Land has consistently been the most essential, sensitive, and controversial issue. Since 1949, China has undergone a long-term transition in its land institutions. Although since 1978, peasants have enjoyed land contract rights as a result of the household responsibility system, the state has been promoting the transfer of land-use rights in order to promote modern agriculture. Particularly since 2013, China has been implementing what is known as “the split or the division of three rights” on rural land. The state has responded strategically to various challenges to ensure that land institutions and policies are always geared to achieving agricultural modernization. China’s pursuit of agricultural modernization impacts peasants’ livelihood, which needs to be protected.
Reinventing a Public Assembly
Authors: Chua Lynette J. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This chapter examines Pink Dot, an annually recurring alternative to a pride parade in Singapore, a state known for its strict laws on public assembly and informal political norms against confrontational activist tactics. It analyzes how LGBTQ rights activists made use of a legal exemption to create a ‘pink dot’ gathering every year since 2009, transcended the regulated confines of a physical space, and overcame a public perception in their country that assemblies transgress the political order. It also assesses Pink Dot’s achievements and contributions to Singapore’s LGBTQ rights movement, including Pink Dot’s influence on legal reform, public assembly, as well as younger generations of activists.
Disruptively Assembling
Authors: Mead David 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This chapter discusses the right to protest and assemble disruptively. It plots the development of the protection of such a right by international human rights bodies, but suggests ways in which the right might be under threat. Firstly, through the European Court of Human Rights articulating what is, and is not, at the core of the right in Article 11, to assemble peacefully, and secondly, when it might conflict with other countervailing rights, such as privacy and the right peacefully to enjoy possessions. It concludes by offering some wider conceptual, contextual or socio-legal observations on the right to protest disruptively. A construction of ‘core’ (and non-core) activities, risks reifying certain types of protest—the staged, large-scale march and rallies—and also requires us to ask ‘disruption to whom?’ and ‘for what purpose?’ It suggests that the real problem with realizing the right to disruptive protest is as much a function of surrounding social structures and institutions as it is of strictly delineated human rights laws and norms, because of the difficulty of effective enforcement of the right ‘on the ground’.
Rights to Participate? Rights to Exclude?
Authors: Magarian Gregory P. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Liberal legal systems face an important problem in deciding whether the affirmative constitutional right of assembly and/or association should include a corresponding negative right to exclude unwanted participants. The US Supreme Court has developed a strong right of non-association, also salient for assemblies. Other liberal legal systems have not developed strong rights of non-assembly or non-association. The divergence reflects distinctive features of the US legal system: a rigid public-private distinction; the conflation of constitutional rights to free speech, assembly, and association; and the reification of paramount constitutional rights that categorically supersede competing interests. In contrast, legal systems in Europe and Canada take a more nuanced view of the public-private distinction; disaggregate rights of free speech, assembly, and association; and authorize judicial balancing of competing rights and interests. Those legal doctrines and practices discourage recognition of rights to non-association and non-assembly. Normatively, liberal democratic commitments to equal citizenship, pluralism, and collective self-governance counsel against a right of non-association, which tends to benefit relatively powerful groups. The importance for liberal democracy of assemblies’ public openness and contestability favours a constitutional regime that protects assembly from unwanted participants, such as counter-protesters, only in the event of violence or wholesale silencing.
Peaceful Intentions, Peaceful Conduct
Authors: Salát Orsolya 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This chapter examines the peacefulness requirement in a comparative legal perspective for its substantive meaning, context, and application. It finds that the notion of unpeacefulness is construed overly broadly, and freedom-of-expression doctrines are all too hastily transposed to freedom of assembly in this area of the law. Such undertheorized transposition of doctrines of one right to the other result in the permissibility of wide-ranging restrictions on freedom of assembly in the name of unpeacefulness. These may completely inhibit the exercise of the assembly right of anyone, including those who have neither committed, nor intended to commit, a crime or other illegal conduct, as in the case of advance bans or dispersal orders. In addition, the transposition of freedom-of-expression doctrines justifies advance bans and dispersals based on speculations regarding future dignity violations and potential commitment of crimes. These complement the peacefulness requirement in the narrow sense, and can be called unpeacefulness by stealth. The chapter concludes with an urge to rethink the notion of peacefulness, and suggests a theorization of the right to assembly independent of freedom of expression not only regarding its value and autonomous meaning, but all the way down to permissible restrictions.
Assembly within ‘Sight and Sound’
Authors: Zick Timothy 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Do peaceful assemblies have a right to gather and communicate within ‘sight and sound’ of intended audiences? European and other international law have explicitly recognized assembly ‘sight and sound’ rights, although thus far recognition has not resulted in a robust jurisprudence. In the United States, by contrast, the lack of Supreme Court recognition as well as doctrinal and other limits have impeded express recognition of First Amendment sight and sound rights. Even so, there is a foundation in US law for recognizing assemblies’ strong interests in being seen and heard. Assemblies the world over would substantially benefit from having a recognized right to choose the location of their activities. Sight and sound rights facilitate organizational autonomy, spatial vocality, expressive proximity, and self-government. This chapter examines these values, addresses doctrinal and pragmatic concerns about sight and sound claims, and urges recognition of a meaningful opportunity for assemblies to be seen and heard.
Just Transitions
Authors: Pendas Devin O. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of the history of transitional justice in postwar Germany. It argues that history questions certain key assumptions common in the literature on transitional justice, referencing the notion of transitional justice operating effectively as a form of historical and political pedagogy. Moreover, the concept of transitional justice posits a strong link between democratic political transitions and various mechanisms for pursuing justice for past political wrongs, especially in criminal trials. It then considers the impact of judicial interpretation of political crimes on the emerging police state in eastern Germany and the democratization of western Germany.
Was There Transitional Justice in the Medieval World?
Authors: Benham Jenny , Smith Jamie 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
There exists a large and ever-growing field of scholarship on conflict resolution and peace-making in the Middle Ages, yet no historian has interpreted such issues through the theory of transitional justice. As the medieval period lacks codification of human rights and international law, it is easy to appreciate why this has been the case. By taking a broader interpretation of law and justice, this chapter attests not simply that the aims and methods of transitional justice existed in the medieval period but it explores how they were adapted to societies very different from our own, and to what success. The widely understood concepts of Christianity and honor created pervasive notions of just behaviors, and in turn stimulated the use of methods such as apology, memorialization, reparation, and arbitration in response to violations. Though “true democracy” was never the goal, these approaches encouraged inclusion and collaboration between former enemies, precipitating peace.
Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Law in Asia
Authors: Lau Holning , Yesudas Michelle 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Legal developments concerning sexual orientation, gender identity and expression (SOGIE) rights in Asia have been numerous and multiplying at a rapid clip. This chapter examines SOGIE rights in three sub-regions of Asia: East Asia, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, discussing each of these sub-regions in turn. For each of these sub-regions, the authors identify patterns in legal protection of SOGIE rights and patterns in the conditions that support or impede the establishment of such protections. The authors also highlight developments that are particularly consequential or emblematic. After discussing the three sub-regions separately, the chapter will conclude by zooming back out, so to speak, to compare the three sub-regions.
Census, Caste Enumeration and the British Legacy
Authors: Denault Leigh 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The colonial decennial censuses of British India were both a continuation of older modes of colonial ‘rule by numbers,’ and a step-change in colonial knowledge-gathering processes. Beginning in 1870-71, the decennial censuses purported to provide a more coherent template for administration. A significant part of this program would consist of methods of enumeration which attempted to fit plural socio-political identities into singular, ‘universally’ comparable categories. By tracing the processes through which people became ‘legible’ to the colonial state through the census projects, and the results of those processes over time, historians have contributed to our understanding of both the nature and operation of the colonial state, and the relationship between knowledge and power, and our understanding of the diverse and vocal South Asian publics who were subject to these new information orders.
