The East Asian Communicative Body
Authors: Goulding Jay 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
As a philosophical scholar of phenomenology, literature, art, and philosophy of the social sciences and humanities, John O’Neill’s (1933–2022) writings are translated into Chinese. As a sociological translator of Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1908–1961), O’Neill’s five phenomenal bodies culminate in the communicative body as an intermingling of material and spiritual relations. I distill by own version of three phenomenal bodies that I call the East Asian communicative body. This essay traces the communicative body through horizontal and vertical phenomenology on the way to Merleau-Ponty’s brief interaction with Chinese philosophy.
1 Kings 19 and Its Emotional Repertoires
Authors: Kozlova Ekaterina E. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Biblical scholarship and cognate disciplines have seen a surge in publications on emotions, affects, and related matters. The focus of this article is on human and divine emotions in the Horeb theophany in 1 Kgs 19. Analysing the prophet Elijah’s suicidal ideation, which is expressed verbally, somatically, and ritually, this article argues that YHWH’s self-disclosure at Horeb is tailored to address Elijah’s condition, and the enigmatic קול דממה דקה (1 Kgs 19:12) is part of YHWH’s emotional response to it. Given Elijah’s state of mind, i.e., fear, loneliness, dejection, and his resolve to end it all, YHWH’s appearance at Horeb should be viewed as a compassionate reaction to the suicidal prophet.
The EGTK (Tupac Katari Guerrilla Army): Aymara Insurgency in Bolivia
Authors: Escárzaga Fabiola 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This article gives an account of the EGTK uprising during the 1980s and 1990s. It played a key part in the indigenous resistance to Bolivia’s ethnic and class divisions and helped expedite the first indigenous presidency in 2006. Many of the key figures from both within the Morales-led MAS regime and the left groups that remained in opposition came to public attention in the history detailed below. The article documents Bolivia’s twentieth-century experience under an oligarchy, giving way to a coalition of workers and indigenous peasants opposed to neoliberal restructuring.
The Biblical Key Word ḥeseḏ: What Exactly Does It Mean?
Authors: Habib Sandy 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The Biblical Hebrew word ḥeseḏ (often rendered in English as ‘mercy’ or ‘lovingkindness’) can be regarded as a biblical key word. Prophet Hosea (6:6) uses it in a sentence best known in English as “I desire mercy and not sacrifice”. In the New Testament, when Jesus quotes Hosea’s sentence, he would have quoted it in the original language, Biblical Hebrew. On the other hand, the New Testament was written in Greek, which has neither exact nor near-equivalent of Biblical Hebrew ḥeseḏ. It is important that the word ḥeseḏ is well understood given its prominence in the Bible and the influence of the Bible on many languages. In this paper, I investigate its semantics and explicate it using the Natural Semantic Metalanguage (nsm). I also shed light on its Greek counterpart, eleos. In addition, I seek to elucidate the meaning of Hosea’s key sentence 6:6, of Jesus’ interpretation of it, and of the key Christian phrase kyrie eleison.
Metaphors can Help Humanities Students Learn Data Analytics
Authors: Tay Dennis 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Courses combining ai, data analytics, and humanities are increasing, offering new research opportunities in curriculum design and teaching methods. This paper examines how metaphors can help teach data analytics to humanities students, going beyond just cognitive benefits. To guide relevant research, I propose four overlapping areas of inquiry – representation, affect, production, and interaction. I then review key results from some of my recent studies that investigate i) the effects of different metaphor types on learner competencies and attitudes, ii) learners’ creative ability to transform data analytics concepts from metaphorical targets to sources, and iii) learners’ and teachers’ unconscious affective engagement with metaphor in an interactional setting. The studies employ different methodologies from classroom quasi-experiments to surveys, skin conductance analysis, and discourse analysis. While each study carries its own pedagogical implications, the synthesized conclusion is that metaphors can help humanities students – when we bear in mind their ‘Customizability’, ‘Agility’, and ‘Naturalness’.
Empowering Christian Communities: Greek and Armenian Endowments in the Ottoman Empire
Authors: Doğan Nejla 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Despite the significant role of the waqf institution in Islamic societies, research has not yet fully explained the complex structure of waqfs. This study aims to contribute to the field by examining the waqf activities and practices of non-Muslims through a literature review and archival sources. The study seeks to reveal the impact of legal practices and the socio-economic characteristics of the Galata region on the established waqfs and to analyze the fundamental characteristics of these waqfs. Furthermore, the relationships between Christians in Galata and Muslim sharia courts, as well as their motivations for approaching these courts, are examined. By the conclusion of the study, the goal is to illustrate how waqfs facilitated the legal and social cohesion of the Ottoman Empire’s diverse multicultural, multi-religious and multi-ethnic society. Therefore, the study aims to gain a deeper understanding of how the Ottoman legal system affected non-Muslims and contributed to the social solidarity of dhimmis. Additionally, it explores how Christians used waqfs to support their community members and places of worship.
Maṭhas in Early Medieval Bengal: A Delineation from Two Inscriptions
Authors: Furui Ryosuke 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The Brahmanical monastic institution called maṭha was an important element of the religious landscape of early medieval Bengal. Its history from the mid-sixth century onwards can be traced in fragmentary inscriptional references. The Paschimbhag copperplate inscription and the Bangarh stone slab inscription give exceptionally rich information on the organisation of the maṭha and activities around it. The maṭhas in both inscriptions were complexes established by royal patronage and functioned as centres of worship and learning. They do, however, show some differences closely related to their different locational and social contexts. The maṭha in the Paschimbhag plate functioned as the centre of a newly-settled brāhmaṇa community in a rural area, while that in the Bangarh inscription functioned as the semi-urban residence of a lineage of Śaiva ascetics connected with a wider monastic network. This difference had implications for the later histories of their respective constituencies.
Maṭhas in the Early Medieval Deccan: Three Examples from the Rāṣṭrakūṭa, Śilāhāra and Yādava Epigraphical Corpora
Authors: Schmiedchen Annette 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This paper will focus on Sanskrit references to maṭhas and maṭhikās in the early medieval epigraphical corpora of the Rāṣṭrakūṭas, Śilāhāras and Yādavas, ruling in the Deccan from the eighth to the thirteenth centuries. The most prominent evidence is provided by the five famous Chinchani copper-plate charters covering a period from 926 to 1053 ce, when the Rāṣṭrakūṭas and later the Śilāhāras and their subordinates ruled over the region north of Mumbai. A few late-twelfth-century Śilāhāra stone inscriptions from Kolhapur in south Maharashtra shed light on the multi-functional character of maṭhas. Finally, a Yādava-period stone epigraph from northwestern Maharashtra testifies to the existence of and the endowment for a very special maṭha in 1207 ce.
Religions and the Development of Taiwan’s Welfare Regime
Authors: Laliberté André 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This article seeks to evaluate the applicability of theories on the influence of religion on the development of the welfare state in an East Asian society like Taiwan. To achieve this, I will present four hypotheses discussed in this new research tradition about the effects of religious cleavages, the legacy of relations between religions and state, the influence of theology, and the consequence of political participation by religious actors. To assess the effects of these factors on the evolution of Taiwan’s successive welfare regimes, I use a historical neo-institutional perspective to examine the path dependency of previous policy decisions and actions after 1945 and distinguish between three stages of authoritarian rule and four presidencies during the democratic period. I argue that religious diversity and largely positive relations with the state have facilitated the inclusion of religious organisations as providers of social services but limited their influence on the design of social policies. The diversity of theologies and the absence of any party identified with one religion have undermined their capacity to shape social policies.
The effects of ‘The Don’t Waste! – Recycle Programme’ on waste management among preschool children: A cluster randomised controlled trial
Authors: Arslan Nesrin , Sisman Fatma Nevin 
Published: January 2025

Objectives: The habit of recycling should be acquired at an early age in order to promote the sustainable use of natural resources. The limited number of studies carried out with early-years children highlights the need for more research with members of this age group. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the ‘Don’t Waste! – Recycle’ Programme on developing waste management awareness in preschool children. Methods: A cluster-randomised experimental study design was used with a pretest-posttest control group and repeated measurements. A total of 164 Turkish preschool children, matched in terms of socioeconomic aspect, were selected to participate in the study by random sampling. The intervention group received the Don’t Waste! – Recycle Programme for 4 weeks, with 30-minute sessions 3 days a week. Data collection took place using a demographic form and a Waste Knowledge and Behaviour Form before the intervention, in the first week, and during the third month after the intervention. Data were also collected simultaneously from a matched control group. Results: The intervention group showed statistically significant improvement in knowledge and behaviour scores in comparison to the control group ( p < .05). Progress was observed to be sustained for 3 months after the intervention with a large (.87–3.83) effect size. Conclusion: The Don’t Waste! – Recycle Programme was found to be efficacious in raising waste management awareness among children. By starting recycling programmes in schools, health professionals and educators can help children build good habits early, which benefits both the environment and the community’s health and well-being.
The Effectiveness of Online Mindfulness Training for Psychologists – A Brief Report
Authors: Pickard Judy A. , Deane Frank P. , Gonsalvez Craig J. 
Published: January 2025

Objective Mindfulness training (MT) in healthcare training has been associated with improvement in mental wellbeing and clinical skills such as empathy. Despite this, it is often challenging for professional psychology programs to include MT in the curriculum due to competing coursework demands and staffing requirements. The current study aimed to determine whether changes in mindfulness, self-compassion and tolerance of uncertainty were equivalent for those completing MT face-to-face on campus or online. Method Ninety-eight professional psychology trainees completed pre-post measures of Mindfulness, Self-compassion, and Tolerance of Uncertainty. Fifty-eight participants completed it on campus and 40 participants completed it online. Results A series of one-way ANOVAs found no significant differences in change between the two delivery mode groups on seven of the eight variables. There was a very small significant difference for self-compassion with those in the campus group showing slightly higher increases compared to the online group. Conclusion Changes in mindfulness and related variables appear to be similar whether MT occurs face-to-face or via online delivery. Thus, providing online MT may address difficulties related to staffing and timetabling that previously prohibited its inclusion in coursework.
Mortality and Years of Life Lost From Cardiometabolic Diseases in Mexico: National and State-Level Trends, 1998-2022
Authors: Agudelo-Botero Marcela , Dávila-Cervantes Claudio A. 
Published: January 2025

Objectives: Cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs) are highly prevalent in Mexico. We analyzed the evolution of mortality from CMDs in Mexico at the national and state level, as well as their contribution to years of life lost (YLL), from 1998 through 2022. Methods: We conducted an observational study based on a public database. We calculated age-standardized mortality rates, conducted joinpoint regression analyses to determine changes in the trend and magnitude of mortality over time, and calculated YLL from CMDs among people in Mexico nationally and by state. Results: From 1998 through 2022, the age-standardized mortality rate from CMDs increased by 14.9% in Mexico. These rates reached their highest levels in 2020 and 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, people aged 0 through 84 years had 3.9 YLL from CMDs, which represented an increase of 0.4 years compared with 1998. From 1998 through 2022, age-standardized mortality rates increased for heart disease, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension but decreased for stroke. Conclusions: Mortality and YLL from CMDs have steadily increased among people in Mexico, driven mainly by heart disease and diabetes mellitus. YLL attributable to CMDs could be prevented by early care and health prevention policies. Decision makers should work to implement robust and enduring health policies focused on shared risk factors underlying these diseases.

Published: January 2025

Background: Provision of palliative care in acute care settings is significantly lacking despite evidence that early integration leads to better patient/family-related outcomes and improved healthcare cost and efficiency. Objective: This study investigated influencing factors that affect the nature and frequency of palliative care practices of acute care nurses. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional design was used to examine the effects of personal and environmental factors on nurses’ palliative care practices in the acute care setting. Registered nurses ( N = 325) completed an electronic survey including a demographic questionnaire and 6 other measures to measure the study variables (palliative care practices, palliative care knowledge, self-efficacy, perceived competency, attitudes toward care of the dying, and perceived barriers). Hierarchical multiple linear regression evaluated the degree to which each set of variables explained the variance in self-reported frequency of palliative care practices while controlling for the others. Results: The final regression model with demographics, personal factors, and environmental factors accounted for 32.1% of the variance in the frequency of nurses’ self-reported palliative care practices and was significant ( F[14, 238] = 8.050, P < .001). Step one (demographics) explained 12.3% of the variance ( F[7, 245] = 4.916, P < .001). Step two (personal factors) explained 19.4% ( F[5, 240] = 13.678, P < .001). Step three (environmental factors) explained 0.4% ( F[2, 238] = 9.053, P = .519). Conclusions: Personal factors, especially self-efficacy and attitudes toward care of the dying, are the most significant influencing factors to the frequency of acute care nurses’ palliative care practices.

Published: January 2025

Background Monoclonal antibodies targeting calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) or the CGRP-receptor have revolutionized the prevention of migraine. Despite their effectiveness, worries have surfaced regarding potential unwanted cardiovascular effects linked to the vasodilation function of CGRP, suggesting a potential influence on blood pressure (BP). Methods Studies were systematically retrieved from PubMed, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Web of Science, MEDLINE and EMBASE up to 1 May 2024. We focused on randomized controlled trials and observational cohort or case-control studies examining the impact of anti-CGRP(R)-monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) compared to control treatments on BP in patients with migraine. Two reviewers independently conducted study selection, data extraction and risk of bias assessment. Results The literature search yielded 693 articles. After removing duplicates and conducting screening, 22 full-text articles were evaluated, with only four studies meeting the inclusion criteria. Among these, only one study had a low risk of bias and reported elevated BP following initiation of anti-CGRP(R)-mAb treatment. Conclusions Although anti-CGRP(R)-mAbs offer substantial benefits for migraine prevention, the potential risk of increased BP requires attention. Despite the current limited evidence, clinicians are urged to monitor BP of migraine patients undergoing treatment with anti-CGRP(R)-mAbs and to remain aware of the increased risk of cardiovascular events in these patients.

Published: January 2025

Background: Current knowledge on the microvascular anatomy of adult human menisci is based on cadaveric studies. However, considerable interindividual variation in meniscal microvascularization has been reported in recent studies with small sample sizes. Purpose: To assess the association between patient characteristics and the depth of microvascularization of the meniscus. Study Design: Descriptive laboratory study. Methods: Menisci from 174 patients who received total knee replacement between March 2021 and December 2023 were collected. A total of 174 lateral and 102 medial menisci were included. Three sections were made from each meniscus: the anterior horn, midbody, and posterior horn. Immunohistochemical staining (CD-31) was used to visualize the microvasculature. The 4 primary outcome measures were the correlation between the depth of microvascular penetration into the lateral meniscus (0%-100%) and (1) age, (2) smoking, (3) degree of osteoarthritis, and (4) history of cardiovascular disease. To account for repeated measurements within each patient, a linear mixed-effects model was estimated to study the association between microvascularization and the patient's characteristics previously introduced. Results: The depth of vascular penetration ranged from 0% to 78% into the lateral menisci and from 0% to 67% into the medial menisci. No significant correlations were found between age, smoking, degree of osteoarthritis, or history of cardiovascular disease and the degree of vascular penetration into the lateral meniscus. The linear mixed-effects model analysis, adjusted for location within the meniscus (anterior horn, midbody, or posterior horn) and meniscal side (lateral or medial), showed no significant associations between the same patient characteristics and meniscal microvascularization. Conclusion: The degree of microvascular penetration into the meniscus has a wide range among adults >50 years. However, the depth of microvascularization was not associated with age, smoking, degree of osteoarthritis, or history of cardiovascular disease. Clinical Relevance: Because no associations were found between depth of microvascular penetration into the meniscus and patient characteristics, the latter cannot be used to estimate the vascular status of a meniscal tear in clinical practice.

Published: January 2025

Introduction Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Patients with cancer are at risk of developing sepsis and requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission. We aimed to assess survival of patients with a solid tumour admitted to ICU as an emergency with sepsis, and to identify predictors of 90-day survival at admission. Materials and Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort survival analysis. We identified adults with a solid tumour admitted to ICU with sepsis between 01/01/2011 and 31/12/2020 at a tertiary oncology centre with two hospitals (London and Surrey, UK). We defined sepsis using the Sepsis-3 definition. The primary outcome was 90-day survival. We used the parametric accelerated failure time model for multivariate analysis to generate acceleration factors (AF). Results 625 patients were identified and the 90-day survival rate was 59.5%(353/593).Multivariate analysis identified the presence of localized (AF 0.13, 95% CI 0.06–0.25) or regionalized disease (AF 0.21, 95% CI 0.12–0.36) compared to distant metastatic disease, unplanned surgery on the day of admission (AF 0.15, 95% CI 0.07–0.31), lactate (AF 1.25 95% CI 1.15–1.35), Sequential Organ Failure Assessment Score (AF 1.19, 95% CI 1.12–1.27), previous radiotherapy (AF 1.89, 95% CI 1.14–3.125), previous systemic anti-cancer treatment (excluding hormonal therapy) (AF 1.49, 95% CI 0.93–2.38), bacteraemia (AF 0.47, 95% CI 0.27–0.81) and serum albumin (AF 0.94, 95% CI 0.91–0.98) as independent predictors of 90-day survival. Conclusions This study of solid tumour patients admitted to ICU is one of the largest providing survival data to inform clinicians and patients. This data provides information on factors that should be considered when deliberating the possible outcome of ICU admission for a patient with solid malignancy and sepsis and highlights that the presence of cancer itself should not limit ICU admission for sepsis.
