Authors: Schechter Tal , Tardif-Theriault Cassandra , Culos-Reed Nicole , Lewis Victor , Orsey Andrea , Diorio Caroline , Tomlinson George A , Sung Lillian 
Published: December 2023

ObjectivesThe primary objective was to determine if individualised yoga for hospitalised children receiving intensive chemotherapy was associated with less fatigue using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory Multidimensional Fatigue Scale (PedsQL MFS) compared with iPad control.MethodsThis was a multicentre randomised controlled trial of individualised yoga in paediatric patients aged 8–18 years who were inpatients receiving intensive chemotherapy for leukaemia, lymphoma or haematopoietic cell transplantation. Participants were randomised to yoga or iPad groups; allocated programme was delivered individually by trained yoga instructors 5 days/week for 21 days. The primary outcome was day 21 guardian-reported general fatigue using the PedsQL MFS. Secondary outcomes included day 21 PedsQL sleep/rest and cognitive fatigue, Fatigue Scale and PedsQL Acute Cancer Module, and systemic opioid administration.ResultsThe study was closed early for poor accrual when 125/210 planned participants had been enrolled and randomised to yoga (n=62) or iPad (n=63). Guardian-reported PedsQL MFS general fatigue scores on day 21 were not significantly different between groups (adjusted difference 7.2, 95% CI −2.6 to 16.9) in favour of yoga. However, day 21 cognitive fatigue (adjusted difference 9.0, 95% CI 0.9 to 17.1), cognitive problems (adjusted difference 11.2, 95% CI 3.5 to 19.0) and communication (adjusted difference 10.6, 95% CI 0.8 to 20.4) were significantly better in the yoga compared with the iPad group. There were no significant differences in the other secondary outcomes including PedsQL sleep/rest fatigue (adjusted difference 4.9, 95% CI −3.5 to 13.3).ConclusionsThe effect of individualised yoga on general fatigue is uncertain in paediatric patients receiving intensive chemotherapy. However, yoga significantly improved cognitive fatigue and cognitive problems.Trial registration numberNCT02134782.
Commercial tobacco endgame themes in the Australian media from 2000 to 2021
Authors: Perusco Andrew , Holland Alice , Maddox Raglan , Morphett Kylie , Heris Christina , Gartner Coral E 
Published: December 2023

BackgroundConventional tobacco control is dominated by demand-reduction measures, whereas commercial tobacco endgame (endgame) policies address the key drivers that maintain the tobacco epidemic, such as Tobacco Industry interference in policymaking, the addictiveness of commercial tobacco products and their widespread availability via retail outlets. While Australia has been a pioneer in tobacco control, Australian Governments are yet to commit to endgame policies. The media play an important role reflecting and influencing public opinion and policymaker positions, and can help set the agenda for policy innovation.MethodMedia articles mentioning tobacco endgame goals and policies published between 2000 and 2021 were identified by searchingFactivaandGoogle(News). We used reflexive thematic analysis (RTA) to identify themes in the articles, supported by content analysis, to describe elements of the data and sentiment analysis to categorise the article sentiment. A deductive–inductive approach was applied in the RTA, coding text from the articles against predefined codes, while also generating new codes where novel themes were identified. Codes were then grouped and summarised.ResultsOne hundred and ninety-three articles were included for analysis. The media discourse focused on three policies: tobacco-free generation; banning or phasing out retail supply of tobacco; and mandating a very low nicotine content standard for cigarettes. A broad range of themes in the articles supported endgame policies, including the large health toll from tobacco, government responsibility to act and the total social costs far outweighing any economic benefit from the tobacco market. Opposing themes included the purported failures of ‘prohibition’, illicit trade, ‘nanny statism’ and impact on retail trade. Equity themes were scarce. The benefits of a smoke-free society were described at a societal level, rather than the personal benefits for individuals.ConclusionMedia articles on the tobacco endgame in Australia generally contained positive sentiment about endgame policies. When engaging with the media, endgame advocates should be aware of, and ready to counter, opposing themes such as the purported failures of ‘prohibition’, ‘nanny state’ rhetoric or a growth in illicit tobacco trade.
Utilidad de la ecografía transvaginal para la predicción de parto prematuro luego de un cerclaje cervical: revisión de la literatura
Authors: Solari Caterina , Carvajal Cabrera Jorge 
Published: December 2023

Introducción: el tratamiento de la insuficiencia cervical es el cerclaje cervical. Pese a este tratamiento el riesgo de parto prematuro persiste elevado en mujeres con insuficiencia cervical. La mejor forma y utilidad del seguimiento ecográfico de mujeres cercladas es desconocida. El objetivo de esta revisión fue evaluar la capacidad pronóstica de la ecografía transvaginal para predecir riesgo de parto prematuro luego de un cerclaje cervical.
Materiales y métodos: realizamos una revisión sistemática de la literatura incluyendo estudios que evaluaran el valor pronóstico de la ecografía transvaginal luego de un cerclaje cervical, para predecir parto prematuro.
Resultados: incluimos 14 estudios en la revisión. El parámetro más frecuentemente asociado con parto prematuro fue la longitud cervical posterior al cerclaje, aunque con capacidad predictiva moderada. El punto de corte para definir pacientes en riesgo varió entre 15-28 mm.
Conclusión: la longitud cervical disminuida posterior a un cerclaje se asocia con mayor riesgo de parto prematuro. No se ha establecido un valor de corte único ni la utilidad clínica del seguimiento ecográfico de mujeres cercladas.
Hagiographical Narrative and Apocryphal Imagination in the Syriac Story of Pawla the Priest
Authors: Minov Sergey 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Taking the newly discovered Syriac composition, entitled Story of Pawla the priest, as an example, the article explores some literary aspects of Christian hagiographical writing in the late antique Syria-Palestine in its relation to the New Testament apocryphal literature. It focuses on the author’s representation of the bathhouse as a heterotopic and liminal space, and his construction of the imaginary community of Herodians, and discusses the shifting and porous divide between apocryphal and hagiographical avenues of cultural memory during Late Antiquity. In Appendix, an English translation of the relevant parts of the Story is offered.
The Commentary in the Melkite Lectionary
Authors: Wakim Rami 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This article investigates a little-known yet highly significant facet of the Arabic liturgical Gospel books – the commentary that was introduced into the Gospel readings from at least the 11th century to the 19th century, notably during the time of Patriarch Athanasios III Dabbās, the last publisher to include this commentary. This study aims to shed light on the origin and evolution of this commentary, categorize its contents, and evaluate its theological importance in the context of the Arab Christian tradition. By offering fresh perspectives on the composition of Lectionary commentaries, this research enriches our comprehension of the history and theology of the Arab Christian tradition.
Sylvester of Antioch’s Arabic Books Printed in 1747 at Bucharest
Authors: Feodorov Ioana 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This article presents the new findings connected to several Arabic books that have been discovered by TYPARABIC team members in libraries around the world, where they were catalogued in insufficient or inaccurate detail, which has led to their being kept hidden from scrutiny until now. Projects of reediting and translating these Arabic books, to allow their study by a larger academic community, are also presented herewith. One of these books is of utmost importance for the discussions that will take place in 2024, when 300 years from the split in the Church of Antioch will be commemorated through conferences and volumes of collected works.
Preliminaries on an Unknown Greek Translation of the Covenant of Muḥammad by Sophronios of Kilis
Authors: Negoiță Octavian-Adrian 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This study offers preliminary remarks on a hitherto unknown Greek translation of the Covenant of Muḥammad by the Patriarch Sophronios of Kilis. The translation is preserved in a single miscellaneous codex entitled Sarakēnika, which was compiled between 1770 and 1780 by the renowned Phanariot scholar and bibliophile Nikolaos Karatzas, a former official of the Patriarchate of Constantinople (MS Gr. 112, Princeton University Library). As the inclusion of the translation in the codex is representative of the cultural transfers that took place between the Arabic-speaking and the Greek peoples during the 17th- and 18th-century Ottoman Empire, this study examines, in particular, the knowledge regimes for the production of the text. In the Appendix, an editio princeps of the translation is provided.
Revisiting the Works of Ibn al-Sirrī (9th Century)
Authors: Ibrahim Habib 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Some studies on Ibn al-Sirrī, a Christian author and translator from the 9th century, have remained unpublished since limited discoveries were made after 1987. Identifying the homilies discussed in this study will enable scholars to explore various aspects. First, it will facilitate the study of his theological vocabulary, which appears to represent a form of medieval ecumenical discourse. A thorough examination of his style may also uncover additional works attributed to him.
Towards the Solution for Bédier’s Paradox in the Critical Editions of Greek Writers
Authors: Spyridonova Lydia , Kurbanov Andrey 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Even though textual critics have tried to resolve Bédier’s paradox in various ways, it still remains an open question for philology. Most philologists argue that the prevalence of bipartite stemmata is a real feature of manuscript transmission. The purpose of this paper is to draw attention to the defect of the common-error method itself, which inevitably leads to bifurcation at every level of the stemma or to recourse to contamination. It will also become evident that the factor that has complicated the problem is a bottleneck in transmission that occurred in the 9th–10th century. The failure of editors to recognise this could account for many false bipartite stemmata and even some false multipartite stemmata. The case of John Chrysostom’s panegyrics serves as an illustration of how this may deceive an editor.
Self-Destruction of Idols in Arab Muslim Historiography
Authors: Frantsouzoff Serge A. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The article deals with a potential source and the subsequent borrowing of the motif of the self-destruction of the pagan idols. This motif is common in Eastern Christian apocrypha and hagiographic tales and also in the Arab Islamic tradition. In Muslim historiography, among stories about the destiny of ancient Arabian images, such a motif is found only twice. Both legends are connected with pre-Islanic Ḥaḍramawt, the autonomous region in Yemen. One legend deals with the idol called al-Djalsad, an object of veneration mostly by a tribe of al-Sakūn. It was represented in the shape of a white anthropomorphic rock with a black head. The other tale narrates about the domestic statue made of cornelian that belonged to the local notable Wā’il b. Ḥudjr. The subject of the spontaneous fall of idols appears to reflect a rivalry, especially in the spiritual sphere, between the tribal confederation al-Sakūn and the descendants of the indigenous sedentary population of Ḥaḍramawt. Their struggle for power in the early Islamic empire manifested in the most apparent way in Egypt, where they could borrow the motif of idols’ self-destruction from the Copts. Thus, in Chapter LXXIX of the Chronicle by John of Nikiu compiled in the late 7th–early 8th century AD obviously in Greek a tale about the childhood of St Theophilus, the Coptic Patriarch in AD 385–412, is preserved. According to it, in his presence, the statues of Artemis and Apollo became overthrown in a shrine situated in the district of Memphis.
Grotius and Limited Liability
Authors: De ruysscher Dave 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Grotius’s ideas on proportionate and limited liability, as mentioned in the Inleidinge and De iure belli ac pacis, were novel in comparison to the civilian doctrine of his time. Grotius drew from sources of local law and statutes regarding maritime law but was nonetheless original in his interpretations. Grotius proposed to consider the liability of co-owners of ships (reders, exercitores), who acted as organizers of maritime expeditions, and of others that were participating in these expeditions, as broad. At the same time, their liability was limited to the maximum of the value of the ship and cargo. In this regard, Grotius’s conceptions hinged on a view of a ship’s voyage as engendering a community of risk among all stakeholders. However, in spite of the underlying connections, Grotius did not eradicate all inconsistencies which the originality of his combinations brought forward.
Representation in Business: Grotius’s Inleidinge and the Ius Commune Tradition in the Low Countries
Authors: Druwé Wouter 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
In his Inleidinge tot de Hollandsche Rechts-geleerdheid, Hugo Grotius wrote an accessible introductory overview of Hollandic law, in which he combined insights from the learned law (ius commune) with the particular law of Holland. The Inleidinge was read by generations of Dutch law students, and would thus become very influential in the Roman-Dutch tradition. This contribution studies how the topic of representation, especially in a business context, was treated in Grotius’s Inleidinge. On the basis of an analysis of the Justinianic Corpus iuris, the medieval ius commune tradition and – especially – early modern scholarship from the Low Countries, it is argued that Grotius’s Inleidinge by and large followed the communis opinio among the learned scholars, although on one important point – namely the acquisition by a third party of a claim on the basis of a stipulatio alteri – Grotius went beyond that communis opinio and, thus, opened the way for a gradual wider legal acceptance of active direct representation.
“We Don’t Share the Same Language with the Orientals Yet”
Authors: Marchi Alessandra 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Between the 19th and 20th centuries, Egyptian cities such as Alexandria and Cairo hosted many rebels, anarchists, socialists and activists who promoted civil and social rights through their ‘radical’ ideas and struggles. The role played by the foreign press in spreading such ideas was fundamental for the wider political mobilization in Egypt during the colonial period. In this paper, the links between colonialism, labour and migration will be investigated through the analysis of the Italian anarchist press, a useful source for research that aims to shed light on the multifaceted composition of the same Italian ‘subaltern’ society in Egypt, its radical social groups and their somehow contradictory ideas – colonialist and even racist – about Arab peoples. Yet, the development of such complex historical social formations, dominated by colonial capitalist settings, like in Egypt, tends to intersect with forms of racialization, class and national oppression that can be expressed on several levels.
The Ideological Evolution of the Tunisian Islamist Movement Ḥarakat al-Nahḍa
Authors: Guazzone Laura 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This essay reconstructs and analyses the ideological evolution of Ennahda, from its beginnings in the mid-1960s to 1987, when the movement adopted an official document about its “Ideological vision” (al-Ruʾya al-fikriyya), confirmed in 2012 as the movement’s main religious, creedal and methodological text. The history of Ennahda’s ideological evolution and the analysis of its doctrinal platform shows how the movement had rich, articulated and often conflicting ideological components, which evolved over time through a continuous internal debate and in mutual interaction with the tradition of Islamic modernism and the domestic and international cultural and political context.
What Have Been Driving India’s Economic Growth? An Empirical Analysis
Authors: Dogga Satyanarayana Murthy , Kuruva Mahendra Babu , Kashyap Monika 
Published: December 2023

The present study is an attempt to identify the major sources of economic growth in India over the period 1971–2016 by employing the auto-regressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds testing model. The long-run estimates of the ARDL model indicate that the economic growth in India is predominately driven by per capita capital and financial development while inflation retards economic growth. Contrary to the long run, the short-run results of error correction representation suggest that per capita capital along with human capital development has a significant positive impact on economic growth in India, while inflation curtails economic growth. India has some important policy insights to draw from these findings that the government policies in India need to emphasize the institutional mechanisms that further strengthen the Indian financial system which would increase its depth, scope and stability to foster economic growth. Further, the policymakers in India should strengthen their anti-inflationary measures, through supply-side reforms, to avoid the negative effects of inflation on economic growth. Finally, the government policies in India should also place a considerable emphasis on investment in human capital, which in turn fosters economic growth. JEL Codes: O4, G2, E24, C1
Seen but not partisan: Changing expectations of public servants in Westminster systems
Authors: Boyd Brendan 
Published: December 2023

Much has been written about the changing role of unelected public servants in Westminster systems of government and their relationship with elected officials and the public. However, there are no studies comparing how these three groups perceive the role, and what they expect from public servants. This article provides the findings from three surveys of public servants, politicians and the public in Canada to assess how they view the role of the public servant and how this compares to different conceptions in the academic literature. The study finds that all three groups support the principles of ministerial responsibility and non-partisanship but do not believe that public servants should be anonymous and free from public scrutiny. This raises the question of whether some aspects of the traditional public servant role can be altered while keeping others in place and suggests that advocates for altering the role of the public servant will be most successful if they focus on certain aspects while preserving others. Points for Practitioners The principles of ministerial responsibility and public service non-partisanship are supported by the public, politicians, and public servants themselves. There is a desire among these three groups for public servants to become less anonymous, face more public scrutiny and engage more with external actors. The public and politicians’ expectations surrounding public servants’ political activities are still unclear, although a large majority of public servants believe they can be politically active outside of work.
Integration of bioinformatics analysis to identify possible hub genes and important pathways associated with clear cell renal cell carcinoma
Authors: Kumar Anshu , Yadav Ravi Prakash , Chatterjee Srilagna , Das Madhusudan , Pal Dilip Kumar 
Published: December 2023

Introduction: One of the most fatal urological malignancies is clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), yet little is known about its pathophysiology or prognosis. This study is aimed at obtaining some novel biomarkers with diagnostic and prognostic meaning and may find out potential therapeutic targets for ccRCC. Material and Methods: Using three publically accessible ccRCC gene expression profiles acquired from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, differentially expressed genes (DEG) were discovered and function enrichment analyses were carried out. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis were conducted by using the DAVID tool and a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed and visualized by Cytoscape. Then we identified 10 hub genes using the cytohubba plugin of Cytoscape based on degree score. The mRNA and protein expression of hub genes was analyzed by GEPIA and Human Protein Atlas (HPA) database. Then, prognosis analysis of hub genes was conducted using GEPIA 3.0 which consists of data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Results: We discovered 293 DEG which is highly enriched in several biological processes connected to immune-regulation and pathways linked to tumors, including HIF-1, PI3K-AKT, and metabolic pathways. In particular, C1QA, C1QB, FCER1G, and TYROBP were related to advanced clinical stage, high pathological grade, and poor survival in patients with ccRCC. Conclusions: Further molecular biological studies are required to confirm the role of the putative biomarkers in human ccRCC. Our work highlighted the hub genes and pathways involved in the progression of ccRCC.

Published: December 2023

Background Current information about AIDS-related gastrointestinal cytomegalovirus end-organ disease (CMV-EOD) is scarce. The objectives of this study were to identify the prevalence and main features of gastrointestinal CMV-EOD in patients with advanced HIV disease. Methods Retrospective cohort study carried-out at a tertiary-care center in São Paulo, Brazil, from January to December 2019. We included hospitalized people living with HIV with gastrointestinal CMV-EOD, CD4 + count ≤100 cells/µL, and ≥ one quantitative detection of CMV DNA in plasma. Results Ten (3.8%) of 261 cases had gastrointestinal CMV-EOD. Nine (90%) cases were men, age median (IQR) was 44 (38–54) years, and CD4 + cell count median (IQR) was 6 (7–39) cells/µL. The 10 cases had positive quantitative detection of CMV DNA in plasma with median (IQR) of 572 (103–2 981) IU/mL. The main presenting condition was esophagitis ( n = 7, 2.7% cases). Eight (80%) cases received anti-CMV treatment, and one case died due to nosocomial pneumonia. Conclusions The prevalence of gastrointestinal CMV-EOD was 3.8%, similar to described in pre-combined antiretroviral therapy studies. Among cases with gastrointestinal CMV-EOD, all had positive quantitative detection of CMV-DNA in plasma but the values varied; esophagitis was the most common presentation, and all but one were discharged from the hospital.
