Translated Solidarity
Authors: Huang Kun 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This essay traces the translation, reception, and adaptation of African anti-colonial poetics that emerged from the Congo Crisis in the People’s Republic of China in the early 1960s. It examines the Cold War mechanisms that coded translated African poetry, the socialist literary network that facilitated and constrained textual circulation, and the Maoist discourse of world revolution underlying Chinese writers’ responses to Patrice Lumumba’s assassination and African decolonization. The article argues that the Cold War served as a powerful geopolitical and discursive structure for keeping specific anti-colonial African authors, texts, tropes, and aesthetics alive and legible across national and ideological borders, while also rendering them susceptible to mistranslations and appropriations. The material, ideological, and affective configurations of the Cold War thus profoundly mediated imaginations and articulations of Sino-African solidarity in Maoist China.
World Literature in Kerala
Authors: Ikbal Eesha Jila 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Highlighting the local dimension of world literature, this article attempts a re-narrativization of Malayalam literary history through the lens of world literature. It does so by locating four possible materializations or phases of world literature, each marked by a crucial social or political development in the state of Kerala: the British colonial intervention, anti-colonialist sentiment, the phenomenon of the Cold War, and the dissolution of the USSR that followed the Cold War. While employing each of these as discursive categories to shed light on their literary and cultural implications in shaping the idea of “world literature” at different junctures, this article also analyzes the various meanings that “world” and “literature” embodied in the state.
Regime Creation for the South China Sea Dispute: the Feasibility of the Creation of the South China Sea Council
Authors: Seo Youngmin 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This article explores the feasibility of creating a regime for the benefit of managing and resolving the South China Sea dispute in accordance with an analysis of a strand of thought in political science (institutional liberalism). The South China Sea is closer to a non-regime situation; however, the relevant circumstance of the region is ripe enough to discuss regime creation. This article shows how regime creation is feasible and beneficial to the claimants, not least China (the most important player), as opposed to the conventional wisdom among Chinese elites regarding the danger of the internationalization of the dispute. The establishment of a soft-law maritime regime (the “South China Sea Council”) and its operational particularity are suggested with reference to the Arctic Council.
Philippines
Authors: Cosme Ana Lourdes L. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Marine litter has been a persistent problem in the Philippines despite comprehensive legislation on solid waste management in place for more than twenty years in the form of Republic Act No. 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000. Until 2021, the Philippines did not have a national policy and legislation that directly addressed marine litter issues in the country. In 2021, the Philippine government launched the National Plan of Action for the Prevention, Reduction, and Management of Marine Litter (npoa-ml) and in 2022, Congress passed Republic Act No. 11898 or the Extended Producer Responsibility Act of 2022.
Korea
Authors: Lee Seokwoo 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The Japanese government on 13 April 2021 announced its 30-year plan to release radioactive contaminated wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean from the spring of 2023. Korea’s former President Moon Jae In, ordered Korea’s ministries to explore how to resolve the matter through the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (itlos) through filing a lawsuit and potentially requesting provisional measures. There are several dispute resolution methods under international law. President Moon’s order to file a suit and potentially request provisional measure is one approach to resolving disputes. However, President Moon acted prematurely because even though the Japanese government had announced its plans to release radioactive contaminated wastewater from spring of 2023, the timing of this discharge was unclear. Since the release would have taken more than two years from Moon’s order, it would have been sufficient to respond by expressing “deep regret” and seek other ways to proceed under international law.
Claims to Straight Baselines in the Asia-Pacific: Contrary to Customary International Law?
Authors: Schofield Clive , Poll Robert van de 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This article examines the straight baseline claims that have been made by coastal States in the Asia-Pacific region in light of the International Court of Justice’s ruling regarding Nicaragua’s straight baselines in the Caribbean Sea. Uncertainties over the relevant provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea are discussed before straight baseline claims made in the Asia-Pacific region are outlined with particular note made of Malaysia’s June 2022 clarification of its baselines claims through publication of the geographical coordinates of the base points concerned. The findings of the International Court of Justice concerning Nicaragua’s straight baselines are then discussed. This leads to the conclusion that the majority of State practice relating to straight baselines in the Asia-Pacific region would be deemed as contrary to customary international law were they to be assessed against the standard set by the Court in that case.
Taking Laila’s Name: Reimagining the Laila-Majnun Story in Brajbhasha
Authors: Hasson Michal 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The story of Laila and Majnun served numerous poets in the Persian cosmopolis with an occasion to comment on love, both earthly and divine, and its transformative power. This essay examines an early modern Brajbhasha version of this famous love story and the ways in which a seventeenth-century Rajput-Muslim poet navigated register, idiom, plot, and literary devices so as to create a tale that addressed as wide an audience as possible, comprised of different religious sects, without losing sight of the Sufi message of the work. This, in turn, points to the need to study religious communities in early modern South Asia not as isolated islands but as part of a loosely connected network in which interaction, shared motifs, stories, and concepts were commonplace.
Il corpo del cadavere nel diritto islamico contemporaneo: la visione salafita
Authors: De Angelo Carlo 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
According to Muslim jurists the body belongs to God, who temporarily lends it to human beings, and therefore cannot be altered, except in the cases expressly provided for (circumcision, application of the ḥudūd punishments, etc.). Modifying the body is prohibited because it would violate its sacredness. The body of the human being is thus inviolable, and it is so both during life but also after death. And it is on the body after death, therefore on the corpse, that this article focuses. Starting with the jurisprudence produced by the Saudi Salafis in the second half of the last century, it reconstructs the rules relating to its ordinary handling and those relating to a specific exception, the autopsy.
Polish Physicians Held in the Miranda de Ebro “Campo de Concentración”
Authors: Cuerda Galindo Esther 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Spain played an ambiguous and pragmatic role during the Second World War and its policy evolved as the war progressed. While Francoist Spain was friendly towards Nazi Germany, it never declared war on the Allies, even if it contributed Division Azul to the Reich’s invasion of the Soviet Union. Spanish neutrality allowed its territory to become a temporary safe haven for refugees fleeing the Nazi terror in Europe. Miranda de Ebro concentration camp (1937–1947) saw the internment of soldiers from the International Brigades who had fought on the Republic’s side in the Spanish Civil War, and of European refugees escaping from the Nazis. After the French, Poles represented the second biggest national group at Miranda and it is the Polish doctors on whom I focus in this paper because of Poland’s situation during and after the war. Most of the Polish doctors held in Miranda were Jews who had come to France before the war, where they had studied while keeping Polish citizenship. After release from Miranda, many joined the Allied forces fighting against the German Reich. But when the war ended, Poland – though formally independent – became a satellite country of the Soviet Union. Only one of the physicians ever returned to Poland. The rest continued their careers in Great Britain or the USA despite all the difficulties this entailed.
Establishing Judicial Precedents Through Advisory Opinions of the European Court of Human Rights
Authors: Gavrysh Khrystyna 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The recent practice of the European Court of Human Rights to follow, in its case law, legal statements made in the exercise of its new advisory competence pursuant to Additional Protocol No. 16 raises some considerable issues. The most important of such issues regards the possibility for principles of law established by the Strasbourg Court to be recognized as judicial precedents within the European Convention of Human Rights system, which is the object of this paper. For this purpose, the analysis will focus not only on the approach of the European Court of Human Rights, but also on that of the Italian judicial authorities, which developed a particularly innovative case law at this regard. Finally, it will also consider the experience of other international judicial bodies, in order to draw some general conclusions on the contribution of advisory opinions to the development of international law.
Tackling Lacunae in International Courts and Tribunals’ Procedure: The Role of External Precedent
Authors: Milo Caterina 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
International courts and tribunals are frequently faced with the need to fill lacunae in their own rules of procedure. Among the many tools at the disposal of adjudicative bodies, external precedent emerges as one of the most flexible and intuitive, allowing to “borrow” from the procedure of other bodies. This paper offers an overview of how international courts and tribunals use external precedent on procedural matters in the context of a number of typical gap-filling techniques. To this end, it delves into the possibility of employing external precedent as a subsidiary means for the determination of rules of law, as an instrument for carrying out systemic interpretation, and as a way of invoking and delimiting inherent powers. Through this analysis, the paper questions the view according to which recourse to external precedent necessarily contributes to the legitimacy of international courts and tribunals. It shows that, at least in procedural matters, this nexus is not straightforward and varies according to the context in which reference to external precedent is made.
Multispectral Imaging of Vat. gr. 73
Authors: Toth Michael B. , Christens-Barry William A. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The multispectral imaging of the sample from BAV, Vat. gr. 73 in 2016 resulted in the discovery of important texts by Dexippus and Polybius. Imaging with a then state-of-technology integrated multispectral imaging system helped reveal texts in the manuscript that were no longer visible to the unaided eye due to interventions by earlier librarians. The resulting images were processed with several techniques that produced remarkable results for researchers. Collaboration between the scientific team, the BAV staff and other investigators provided new information and large amounts of data for further research.
Membra disjecta sinaitica III
Authors: Kessel Grigory 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The tenth-century, Georgian manuscript geo. 49 preserved at the monastery of St. Catherine on Sinai is not a regular codex. What distinguishes this manuscript is that the Georgian scribe Iovane Zosime made use of a large number of reused parchment material that originally belonged to other manuscripts copied in a variety of languages. Some of these manuscripts, in turn, were made from the folios of other manuscripts that had been similarly reused before. As it is often the case with Sinai manuscripts, the codex Sin. geo. 49 is not complete and many of its leaves are missing. This article examines four Syriac undertexts in two previously unexplored membra disjecta—Vat. iber. 4 and HMML Ms. Frag. 32—and demonstrates that the recycled manuscript copies are rare and unique witnesses for the texts they originally contained.

Background New York City (NYC) became the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The Bronx, with the highest rates of poverty and violent crime of all NYC boroughs and a large Black and Hispanic population, was at increased risk of COVID-19 and its sequelae. We aimed to identify temporal associations among COVID-19 and trauma admission volume, demographics, and mechanism of injury (MOI). Methods A retrospective review of prospectively collected data was conducted from a Level II trauma center in the Bronx. January 1st–September 30th for both 2019 (Pre-COVID) and 2020 (COVID) were compared. Pre-COVID and COVID cohorts were subdivided into EARLY (March–May) and LATE (June–September) subgroups. Demographics and trauma outcomes were compared. Results Trauma admissions were similar between Pre-COVID and COVID. During COVID, there was an increased percentage of Black patients (Black Hispanic 20.1% vs 15.2% and Black Non-Hispanic 39.4% vs 34.1%, P < .05), younger patients (26–35 years old: 22.6% vs 17.6%, P < .05), and out-of-pocket payors (6.0% vs 1.6%, P < .05). Trauma severity outcomes were mixed—some measures supported increased severity; others showed no difference or decreased severity. During COVID, there was a rise in total penetrating injuries (27.4% vs 20.8%, P < .05), MVC (13.2% vs 7.1, P < .05), and firearm injuries (11.6% vs 6.0%, P < .05). Additionally, during LATE COVID, there was a resurgence of total penetrating, total blunt, MVC, falls, cyclists/pedestrians struck, and firearm injuries. Discussion Our results emphasize MOI variations and racial differences of trauma admissions to a Level II trauma center in the Bronx during COVID-19. These findings may help trauma centers plan during pandemics and encourage outreach between trauma centers and community level organizations following future healthcare disasters.

Published: December 2022

Cement kiln dust (CKD), with different ratios (10, 20, and 30%), has been used as a filler for polypropylene (PP) thermoplastic forming the compound under study by the extrusion technique. The aftereffect of increasing CKD dosage on structural, mechanical, physical, and electrical properties of the neat PP has been investigated. Infrared (IR) spectra and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) proved that the mixture was physically blended. The mechanical characteristics like tensile strength, elongation% at break, besides the Izod impact decreased from 22.33 to 16.33 MPa, from 6.33 to 4.33, and from 52.33 to 34.70 J/m ‘respectively’, while the hardness increased from 77.20 to 83.56 Kg/mm2 with increasing CKD%. Water absorption results showed that the PP absorbed more water because of the low adhesion and hydrophilicity of cement dust particles. Filling PP with CKD up to 20% enhanced its thermal stability as indicated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The electrical measurements showed that rising CKD% promoted the insulation properties of PP. To the best of our knowledge, the present PP-CKD composite has not been prepared previously which provides novelty to this research. Manufacturing this composite on the industrial scale enhances the environment (by reducing CKD damping), reduces the cost of PP production, and utilizes a useful application for one of the most harmful industrial wastes.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Weight-Related Difficulties in Overweight and Obese Adults: A Systematic Review
Authors: Pitil Patricia Pawa , Ghazali Siti Raudzah 
Published: December 2022

Multiple studies have investigated the efficacy of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) in improving psychological flexibility among overweight and obese individuals. However, to date, no specific reviews have focused on ACT and weight-related difficulties in this population. This systematic review of the literature aims to identify and assemble all ACT interventions in randomized controlled trials (RCT) that address weight-related difficulties in the treatment of overweight and obese adults. The PRISMA 2020 framework was used for the systematic review, includes manual and computerized database searches. Five databases (Medline, PubMed, Scopus, PsycInfo, and Google) were utilized to gather all articles that: (a) published in English; (b) adopted the RCT design; (c) used ACT as an intervention; (d) included adult participants aged over 18 years with BMI of over 25 kg/m2, and (e) included weight-related difficulties and weight as outcome measures. The review identified seven studies comprising 698 overweight or obese participants of both genders. Improvements were reported in weight-related difficulties and percentage of weight loss in the ACT group and the non-ACT group. The present review supports ACT as an effective intervention that can help adults with weight-related difficulties and excess body weight. Further studies should be conducted in various overweight or obese populations with a more systematic RCT research design to establish the effectiveness of ACT in this area.
Tracking building operational energy and carbon emissions using S-curve trajectories—a prototype tool
Authors: Bunn Roderic , Burman Esfand , Warne James , Bull Jamie , Field John 
Published: December 2022

New and refurbished non-domestic buildings are failing to live up to their anticipated performance. Shortfalls show in excess energy consumption, high carbon dioxide emissions and other failings in quantitative and qualitative performance metrics. This paper describes the component parts of the performance gap using evidence from building performance evaluations. It introduces a way of visualising the consequences of decisions and actions that are known to compromise performance outcomes using a performance curve methodology (the S-curve) which plots performance, and the root causes of underperformance, from project inception to initial operation and beyond. The paper tests the hypothesis with two case studies. It also covers the initial development of a prototype visualisation tool designed to enable live projects to track emerging operational energy and emissions against a high energy and emissions trajectory created from empirical evidence. The tool aims to help practitioners identify key risk factors that could compromise building performance and mitigate these risks at different stages of procurement. Practical application: The Operational Energy and Carbon (OpEC) visualisation tool is designed for wide industrial application, on all sizes of a non-domestic building project, large and small. It aims to visualise the likely outturn energy performance of a project by calculating the penalties for shortcomings in project delivery. The penalties are visualised as weighted trajectories of energy and carbon dioxide emissions. The prototype tool aims to fill a gap between the capabilities of powerful energy modelling tools used in design and the capacity of non-specialist stakeholders to understand the emerging energy characteristics of a project as it moves through procurement, design, construction, and delivery.

Published: December 2022

Background As previous studies reported, gadolinium deposits in globus pallidus (GP) and dentate nucleus (DN) after repeated administrations of gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) and a signal intensity (SI) increase on T1-weighted images were related to linear GBCAs, not macrocyclic GBCAs. Purpose To identify whether quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) could measure a subtle increase in magnetic susceptibility in DN and GP in patients after repeated administrations of gadoteric acid meglumine (Gd-DOTA). Material and Methods In this study, 50 patients with cerebral tumors who had received at least three injections of Gd-DOTA (GBCA group) and 50 individuals without a history of GBCA injections (non-GBCA group) were included. The image data for QSM and T1-weighted images were reviewed. Spearman rank correlation was used to estimate the associations between the values (magnetic susceptibility of QSM and SI ratios of T1-weighted images) and the number of Gd-DOTA injections. Results The mean magnetic susceptibility of GP in GBCA group was 0.136 ± 0.031 ppm, which was significantly higher than that in control group (0.114 ± 0.030 ppm) ( P = 0.001). In the GBCA group (n = 50), we found a substantial positive correlation between magnetic susceptibility of GP and the number of Gd-DOTA injections according to Spearman rank correlation coefficient (ρ = 0.673, P = 0.0001). There was a modest but significant correlation between magnetic susceptibility of DN and the number of Gd-DOTA injections (ρ = 0.311, P = 0.028). Conclusion In comparison to the control group, the magnetic susceptibility of GP in the GBCA group was significantly higher and had a substantial positive association with the number of Gd-DOTA injections.
