Russian Orthodoxy is a Terrible Force
Authors: Ryygas Elena-Olga 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops in February 2022 calls into question the legal status of the Russian Orthodox Church (headed by Patriarch Kirill) as a religious organization claiming Eastern Christian heritage. While the Russian Orthodox Church appropriates the history of Kievan Rus, the top hierarchs of the roc are guided by the ideology of servility and Bolshevism. At the same time, the Catacombers who survived the Bolshevik persecution also consider themselves part of Russian Orthodoxy. They are like the inhabitants of Kitezh-Town, the legendary sunken city hidden under water. The Catacombers are silent participants in the anti-war protest and oppose the ideas of the Russian World and nuclear Orthodoxy. They run a partisan movement of volunteers helping Ukrainian refugees. If one wonders whether Russian Orthodoxy is possible after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, then the answer is seen in the prophecy of the political scientist, V. Kramnik, about the inevitable collapse of the Russian Federation and the appearance of the Republic of Rus instead of it. Citizens of the provisional Kitezh-Town in the Republic of Rus will be the real descendants of Kievan Rus and elective affinities of the Ukrainians.
Mapping Missions: New Data for the Study of African History
Authors: Hedde-von Westernhagen Christine , Becker Bastian 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The study of societal and institutional change has greatly benefited from a growing number of studies exploring sub-national variation in colonialism and its legacies. One vibrant stream in this literature focuses on the role of Christian missionaries in European empires. However, advances are often hampered by the quality and scarcity of available historical data. In this article, the authors introduce a new geospatial dataset of Catholic and Protestant mission stations in colonial Africa that offers a more complete picture than currently used data sources. The authors illustrate the greater coverage their data provides and demonstrate its utility by replicating the effect of missions on the expansion of formal education, one of the most established legacies of Christian missionaries.
From Defiance to Civilizationalism
Authors: Verpoest Lien 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Russia’s complex relationship with the West is the result of a long history of frustration and a perception of humiliation. The Russian empire, Soviet Union and the Russian Federation all have perceived the West alternately as a touchstone and a threat. This article assesses how discourses of humiliation and historical greatness intersect in Russian foreign policy. A first section explains how the discourse of humiliation has always been present Russia’s discourse on East-West relations. The second part of the article discusses how critical junctures in its relations with the west affected Russia’s foreign policy since 1991. As a consequence, Russia’s reactive frustration turned into defiance and a proactive discourse of humiliation, which became strongly intertwined with the legitimation for its attacks on the territorial integrity of sovereign states like Ukraine. Countries warning not to further antagonize or humiliate Russia with an eye on diplomacy and negotiations risk to mainstream this Russian discourse. This would enable Russia to successfully “securitize” humiliation by making the narrative of humiliation an object of security through discursive actions. It is therefore crucial not to perceive Russia’s humiliation rhetoric apart from the internal legitimation of its military invasion of Ukraine.
Weaponizing History
Authors: Khislavski Grigori 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This paper deals with Weaponizing History in the Russo-Ukranian War in diachronic perspective focusing on the events of 2014 and 2022. It shall be demonstrated that in 2014 it was medieval narratives that were the main focus: For instance, in the presidential speech addressed to the Federal Assembly on December 4, 2014, the annexation of Crimea was legitimized by the disputed “Korsun Legend”. This firmly established narrative has made it possible to proclaim Crimea to be the cradle of the Russian nation and a sacred place. In the recent war Putin invokes the Great Patriotic War (1941–1945) which has been developed into a central place of remembrance in his regime and according to which Ukraine is to be denazified and delegitimized as a product of Bolshevism. It is significant to note that these narratives synchronize and harmonize rather well with one another in the collective historical consciousness of Russians.
In Schoolbooks and on Telegram
Authors: Astrouskaya Tatsiana 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Since 1991 memory politics in Belarus has undergone several shifts, conditioned by the alteration in international and inner policies and the whims of political elites. During the last two years, the civil protest movement and recently, the Russian war in Ukraine afresh prompted the re-interpreting of the past. In this revised interpretation, the already central place of WWII has become even more pronounced. The history of this war has been turned into a weapon by which Belarusian pro-governmental historians and propagandists attempt to combat the “collective West,” the NATO, the Ukrainian and Belarusian nationalists, and the émigré diaspora alike. This paper aims to outline the portrayal of Ukraine and Ukrainians in Belarusian memory politics (in school textbooks and, since 2020, on Telegram). It asks about the place Belarusian southern neighbour and, until recently, the “brotherly people” occupied in the official Belarusian historical narrative, shaped by the mythologisation of WWII.
Religione e regionalismo nell’Egitto ottomano attraverso una ricognizione dei generi e dei temi della letteratura religiosa
Authors: Tondi Arianna 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
In this paper we will examine how religious literature in Ottoman Egypt (16th–19th century), in continuity with the production of the Mamluk period, contributed to celebrate the geographical boundary in order to claim the lost centrality of Egypt, at that time a province of the Ottoman Empire. We will focus on genres and themes of this literature, which has intensified a feeling of belonging to the land that has influenced the nationalist thought emerged in the Nahḍa. In particular we will draw attention to Sufi literature, such as ṭabaqāt, manāqib and devotional treatises. These genres enhanced the strength of Egypt by celebrating the unicity of its religious landscape and the utmost powers of its saints. How has the geographical boundary been rewritten in the religious literature of the Ottoman period?
Crossing the Boundaries: Hashish Intoxication in Pre-modern Arabic Literature and Law
Authors: Marino Danilo 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Despite the legal condemnation of mind-altering substances crystallized in formulas such as “everything that intoxicates is like ḫamr and ḫamr is illegal (ḥarām)”, intoxicants are largely represented in the Arabic literary corpus. Wine in particular is even the central topic of the ḫamriyya, a poetic genre describing the liquor and its effects that flourished in the early-Abbasid era. From the Mamlūk period (1250–1517) onward, other non-fermented stimulants based on hemp, banǧ, opium etc. were also included in the poetic imaginary, without nevertheless rising to the status of a literary genre. In other words, while intoxication (sukr) as a literary motif did not cross the boundaries of the moral and socially acceptable, its function as transition was instead meant in the fictional text to mark an emotional shift and negotiate between imagination and reality.
In this article, I propose to work on hashish intoxication as a liminal stage, where the boundaries between rational and irrational, pleasure and pain, conventional beauty and unattractiveness are often blurred. To do so, I will first briefly explore the centrality of the ʿaql in Muslim thought and how sukr not only was considered a threat to the normal functioning of the mind, but also a danger to the divine order. Subsequently, I will focus on hashish and how it challenged the traditional views on intoxication. The central part of the paper will approach hashish consumption as a literary motif. I will extract poems and anecdotes describing the ambiguous psycho-physical experience of hashish from the Rāḥat al-arwāḥ fī al-ḥašīš wa-l-rāḥ of al-Badrī (d. 894/1488), the most comprehensive anthology of texts on hashish within Arabic tradition.
Matrimonio e negoziazione del posizionamento sociale in Ḫiṭbat al-šayḫ (Il fidanzamento dello šayḫ, 1915), il romanzo incompiuto di Ṭāhā Ḥusayn
Authors: Paniconi Maria Elena 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
In the early twentieth century, themes such as the emergence of a young, newly urbanized effendiyya, the idea of marriage nurtured by this new class, the choice of the bride, and the role of the wife and the husband within the family were crucial in the cultural and social debate in Egypt. Throughout the discussion of these themes, the relationship between genders and generations was established, and new social boundaries were negotiated.
After a short analysis of the trope of marriage in the first period of the Egyptian novel (1906–1945) this contribution focuses on Ḫiṭbat al-šayḫ (The šayḫ’s engagement), a text by the renowned Egyptian author and academic Ṭāhā Ḥusayn (1889–1973), published only in 2017 by Dār al-waṯāʾiq in Cairo. This novel, although unfinished, offers one of the first examples of epistolary novel in the Egyptian late nahḍa context. The text, which consists of fifteen letters of various lengths, written by five fictional characters, is fundamental in understanding the theme of marriage as a social positioning tool.
Indeed, through the mechanism of epistolography, Ḫiṭbat al-šayḫ mirrors the complex social debate, incorporating in its own structure the discussion of social boundaries by different social actors.
The Reversal of the Reasonable in a Smart Social Outcast: Ḫalīfa ‘The Scabby’ by al-Bašīr Ḫurayyif
Authors: Facchin Andrea 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Can healing cause social exclusion? By contrast, can illness signify belonging to a group, in addition to serenity? Throughout the analysis of the short story “Ḫalīfa al-aqraʿ” (1960) by the famous Tunisian author al-Bašīr Ḫurayyif (1917–1983), this study will unravel how its main character – a smart social outcast – performs his boundaries. Specifically, the paper will discuss how Ḫalīfa ‘the scabby’ experiences his illness, by overturning the logic of its boundaries and social inclusion, where illness is lived and interpreted differently, in apparent self-contradiction, and is employed to shape the protagonist’s marginalized role in a group.
The Key to the Labyrinth: Boundaries and Spaces in Raǧāʾ ʿĀlim’s Novel The Dove’s Necklace
Authors: van Leeuwen Richard 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
As an urban structure, Mecca is inscribed with several layers of meaning. It is the place where the Divine revelation of Islam took place; it is the setting of the life and preaching of the prophet Muhammad; and it is the location of the hajj, the annual pilgrimage, with its sacred and ritual sites. These complex domains of signification are related/separated by various kinds of boundaries, which are made even more intricate by the strict Wahhabi regime of religiosity and social segregation and Saudi policies of urban reconstruction. All these influences result in a fragmented spatial structure, and, concomitantly, in a fragmented social structure, which are both to some extent hidden in the folds of the urban landscape. In this contribution, the boundaries between the various domains will be discussed as they are portrayed, and contested, in the novel Ṭawq al-ḥamām (The Dove’s Necklace) by the Saudi author Raǧāʾ ʿĀlim. It will be explained how several characters are described as either upholding, breaking, preserving, and challenging the diverse boundaries vested in Mecca as a container of a profound religious heritage.
Supine Pharyngeal Width Is Associated With Complete Concentric Palatal Collapse During Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy and Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulator Outcomes
Authors: Weiner Jordan S. , Munhall Christopher C. , Kent David T. 
Published: December 2022

Objective Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) implantation in the US requires preoperative drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) screening for complete concentric palatal collapse (CCC) to establish treatment candidacy. We hypothesized that supine pharyngeal width (SPW) in awake patients is associated with CCC and HNS therapy outcomes. Methods Adults with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea underwent awake measurement of SPW followed by DISE screening for CCC. Eligible patients electing for HNS implantation underwent postoperative polysomnography per standard of care. Results SPW was measured in 73 patients. For SPW >20 mm, the positive likelihood ratio for absence of CCC was 6.67 with pre- and post-test odds of 6.3 and 42.0, respectively. Postoperative PSG data were available from 31 of 44 (70.5%) patients subsequently implanted with HNS. Patients with SPW >20 mm had a greater rate of HNS response than those with SPW ≤20 (62 vs 30%; P < .05). Only SPW and BMI were significantly associated with CCC and HNS response in regression models. Conclusion In a retrospective cohort study, SPW was significantly associated with CCC and postoperative apnea-hypopnea index following HNS implantation. SPW may be a viable screening tool for HNS candidacy.

Published: December 2022

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of percutaneous electrolysis for the treatment of patients with tendinopathies. Data sources A systematic search of publications was conducted in Pubmed, Cinahl, Medline, Scopus and Web of Science. Methods The Oxford 2011 Levels of Evidence and the Jadad scale were used to assess the quality of studies. The mean and standard deviation were obtained for each study group and used to calculate the effect size. The DerSimonian and Laird method was used to develop a random-effects model. Results Of the 14 articles, four applied percutaneous electrolysis to the knee, three to the shoulder, three to the elbow, two to the hip and two to the ankle and foot. A meta-analysis on intensity of pain (evaluated with algometer and the Visual Analogue Scale) was performed on studies comparing percutaneous electrolysis with a control group, indicating that the groups treated with percutaneous electrolysis had better results ( p = 0.01). Although percutaneous electrolysis did not overcome the analgesic effect achieved by corticosteroid injections. Conclusions The percutaneous electrolysis is effective for the treatment of tendinopathies. The combination of this technique with eccentric training has proven to be one of the most effective treatments to date for improving pain. PROSPERO Registration: CRD42021230005.
Psychiatric Nursing Workforce Survey: Results and Implications
Authors: Gerolamo Angela M. , Delaney Kathleen R. , Phoenix Bethany , Black Patricia , Rushton Amy , Stallings Janette 
Published: December 2022

Objective: The last national survey of psychiatric-mental health (PMH) nurses was conducted in 2016 and was limited to advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs). Data on the demographic and employment characteristics of the PMH workforce could inform how to optimize the PMH nursing workforce to address increasing demands for mental health services. The objective was to conduct a national survey of PMH registered nurses (RNs) and PMH-APRNs to gather data on their demographic, educational, and practice characteristics. Methods: An email survey was administered between October 2020 and February 2021 to all members of the American Psychiatric Nurses Association and to all PMH-APRNs certified by the American Nurses Credentialing Center. Separate surveys included 51 questions (RN) and 52 questions (APRN). Survey questions were informed by several sources including the Minimum Data Set for the Behavioral Health Workforce. Results: Surveys were completed by 4,088 PMH-RNs and 5,158 PMH-APRNs, with a combined response rate of 12.1%. Findings suggest that the workforce is aging but has increased slightly in diversity. In all, 62.4% of RNs reported a hospital as their primary employment setting, while the majority of APRNs (70.4%) practice in outpatient settings. Forty-four percent of the PMH-APRN respondents indicated that most of their patients receive federal insurance. Conclusions: Nursing must plan for significant retirements in the PMH workforce in next 5 years. Hospital-based practice continues to dominate PMH-RN roles but might be expanded to community-based settings teaming with PMH-APRNs in outpatient sites. Increasing the diversity of the workforce should be prioritized.
Riot in the party? Voter registrations in the aftermath of the January 6, 2021 capitol insurrection
Authors: Loving Sara , Smith Daniel A 
Published: December 2022

Following the 6 January 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, news outlets reported that registered Republicans were leaving the party in droves. Drawing on millions of individual-level voter registration records in Florida, we place post-riot party-switching in broader context. We investigate whether Republicans were more likely to experience greater out-migration after the riot, detail to which parties’ individuals switched their allegiances, use a difference-in-difference strategy to determine if the 2021 exodus was greater than 4 years earlier, and examine whether those who decamped from the GOP returned to the fold a year later. We find that registered voters who switched parties after the January 6th uprising were more likely to be white, middle-aged, high-propensity voters, and that Republicans were nearly four times more likely than Democrats to defect following the insurrection. We also find that the GOP defection rate after January 6th was nine times higher than during the same time period in 2017. However, we find that Republican registrants who switched parties post-riot did not migrate to the Democratic Party, but rather became independents, and that a year later, almost no Republicans (only 4.6%) who had defected returned to their GOP roots.
Stress recovery behaviour of a large-diameter Fe-SMA stranded wire developed for structural prestressing loss compensation

Published: December 2022

A new type of large-diameter iron-based shape memory alloy (Fe-SMA) stranded wire was developed, and its stress recovery behaviour was experimentally investigated in this study. The produced Fe-SMA stranded wires had a diameter of 15.2 mm, which were the same as the most commonly used steel-stranded wires. This kind of large-diameter Fe-SMA stranded wire matched the existing prestressed anchorage system to reduce application cost and accelerate the field application of the Fe-SMA in civil engineering. The effects of prestrain levels (4%, 6%, 8%, 10%), activation temperatures (200°C, 300°C, 400°C, 500°C), and secondary activation effect on the recovery stress of Fe-SMA stranded wires were analysed. Test results showed that the recovery stresses of the Fe-SMA stranded wire were 223–357 MPa. The maximum recovery stress was measured for the specimen with a prestrain of 8% and an activation temperature of 500°C. With increasing activation temperature, the recovery stress increased, but the increment decreased gradually. An increased prestrain level resulted in a first increase and a second decrease in the recovery stress, which was highest at the 8% prestrain level. If the shape memory effect (SME) was not fully used during the first activation, then the remaining martensitic phase changed on the second activation. The recovery stress generated by the first activation was essentially the same as those generated by the second activation at the same activation temperature. Taking the Nanshao River concrete box girder bridge in China as an example, the effect of using Fe-SMA stranded wires to compensate the prestressing loss was calculated. The results showed that the Fe-SMA stranded wire developed was able to compensate the vertical prestress loss of the prestressed box girder bridge web well and maintain the main tensile stresses at a low level during the service life of the bridge.
The off-label uses of pipeline embolization device for complex cerebral aneurysms: Mid-term follow-up in a single center
Authors: Zhang Huachen , Ren Jiyang , Wang Jiangdian , Lv Xianli 
Published: December 2022

Objective To describe the off-label uses of pipeline embolization device for a variety of types of aneurysms including ruptured aneurysms, posterior circulation aneurysms, small aneurysms, distal aneurysms, and recurrent aneurysms. Methods Clinical and angiographic data of patients who underwent pipeline embolization device treatment on off-label use at our center were retrospectively reviewed. For categorical variables, Fisher's exact test was used, and a two-sample Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for patients’ age to analyze the correlation with outcomes. Results In this study, 121 aneurysms in 107 patients received off-label pipeline embolization device treatments. The overall rate of complete aneurysm occlusion was 77.8% (28/36 in 35 patients) for posterior circulation aneurysms and 95.3% (81/85 in 72 patients) for anterior circulation aneurysms. The posterior circulation aneurysms have a lower rate of aneurysm occlusion ( p = 0.0372). The small aneurysms have a higher rate of aneurysm occlusion ( p = 0.0104). The patient's sex, age, and aneurismal size were associated with ischemic stroke complications ( p = 0.0397, 0.0166, and 0.0178). In posterior circulation aneurysm patients, only two basilar apex aneurysms underwent pipeline embolization device treatment, both of whom died of thrombotic complications. There was no difference in mortality between posterior circulation aneurysm patients (8.6%, 3/35) and anterior circulation aneurysm patients (1.4%, 1/72) ( p = 0.1015). Patients of older age have a higher risk of death rate ( p = 0.0053). Conclusions The off-label use of pipeline embolization device is often performed in clinical practice and can achieve efficacy in complex aneurysms. The off-label use of pipeline embolization device was found to carry an increased rate of mortality in older patients. Excluding basilar apex aneurysms, the pipeline embolization device is as safe as anterior circulation aneurysms in the treatment of posterior circulation aneurysms elsewhere.
