Published: March 2023

Background
Following myocardial infarction, left ventricular remodeling (LVR) is associated with heart failure and cardiac death. At the same time, left atrial (LA) remodeling (LAR) is an essential part of the outcome of a wide spectrum of cardiac conditions. The authors sought to evaluate the correlates of LAR and its relationships with LVR after myocardial infarction.

Methods and Results

This is a retrospective analysis of 320 of 443 patients enrolled for study of LVR after ST‐elevation myocardial infarction. Left ventricular (LV) volumes, infarct size and LA volume index were assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging during index hospitalization (day 6 [interquartile range, 4–8]) and after a 3‐month follow‐up. LAR was studied using a linear mixed model for repeated measurements. Overall, there was a decrease in LA volume index between 6 days and 3 months (43.9±10.4 mL versus 42.8±11.1 mL,
P
=0.003). Patients with changes in LA volume index >8% over time were older, with greater body mass index, lower LV ejection fraction, and larger infarct size. Unadjusted predictors of LAR were age older than 70 years, infarct size, anterior infarction, time to reperfusion, history of hypertension, LV end‐diastolic volume, and heart failure at day 6. Independent correlates were age older than 70 years (3.24±1.33,
P
=0.015) and infarct size (2.16±0.72 per 10% LV,
P
<0.001). LA remodeling was correlated with LV remodeling (
r
=0.372,
P
<0.001), but neither LA nor LV volumes at day 6 were related to LVR or LAR, respectively.

Conclusions
The authors found LA changes to occur in the months after myocardial infarction, with an overall decrease in LA volumes. While LAR coincided with LVR, the correlates for LAR were age older than 70 years and larger infarct size.
Michal the Giver and Michal the Taker: The Systematic Misogyny of the Davidic Court
Authors: Case M. L. 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
This article examines the misogyny of the Davidic court through the lens of philosopher Kate Manne’s recent study Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny, which illustrates how the individual deeds or words perceived as misogynistic fit into a well-ordered system. In particular, it analyzes how Michal is treated differently by Saul and David in 1 Samuel 19 and 2 Samuel 6 compared to other male characters, such as Jonathan. Within a patriarchal society, misogyny is the policing arm which differentiates between good women and bad women, or those who conform to the gendered norms and expectations of the patriarchy and those who do not. When a woman, like Michal, fails to uphold her role supporting the elite men in her life, the men must swiftly respond not only to ameliorate her threatening position, but also to warn other women, both inside and outside the text, against similar behavior.
Arboriculture and Viticulture as Investment in the Early Islamic Levant: An Archaeobotanical and Historical Investigation of the Site of Ashkelon
Authors: Forste Kathleen M. 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
This article combines historical and archaeological evidence to investigate the role arboriculture played in the agricultural economy in the southern Levant as centers of production moved away from rural agricultural estates and focused instead on urban centers. Integrating this evidence with archaeobotanical data from Early Islamic deposits at the archaeological site of Ashkelon, located on the southern Mediterranean coast of modern-day Israel, I conclude that people specialized in arboriculture as a means to supply the needs of both subsistence and craft economies in this city, encapsulating the intensification of agricultural production in this period.
Preaching and Preening: A Ṭūṭī’s Book in Persianate India
Authors: Chanchani Jahnabi Barooah 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Starting from the fifteenth century, richly illustrated manuscripts written in Perso- Arabic scripts began to proliferate in north-central India. In some manuscripts, paintings appeared as frequently as in every other folio. I investigate the rise to prominence of the visual through a close study of the Ṭūṭīnāma manuscript currently housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art. My argument is that this phenomenon can be explained by the growth of elite urban communities in north-central India. These communities, I argue, invested in the visual medium to learn more about and carefully modulate adab (intertwined aesthetic, ethical, and political codes of the Persianate world).
Building Empire, Creating Markets: Commercial Policies and Practices in Imperial Qin (221–207 BCE)
Authors: Korolkov Maxim 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The expansion of states played a crucial role in the commercial growth in the ancient world. The empires provided physical infrastructures, such as roads, and institutions, such as legal order and standardized currencies, that reduced the transaction costs of economic exchanges. Expensive activities by the imperial governments, including military conquests and urban development, required efficient mechanisms for accumulating, transforming, and transferring resources, and markets often provided such mechanisms.
This article explores the relationship between empire-building and commercial change in the Qin Empire (221–207 BCE), the first of China’s centralized empires. I demonstrate how the empire’s need to administer and tax its territories contributed to the growth of markets.
Exploring the speciation continuum of slow worms: location and extent of the Anguis fragilis/veronensis hybrid zone in southeastern France

Abstract
With five currently recognized species that form several secondary contact zones, slow worms (Anguidae: Anguis) offer a valuable model to study the fate of evolutionary lineages in the face of hybridization and genetic introgression. The relationships between the Western Slow Worm Anguis fragilis and the Italian Slow Worm Anguis veronensis are particularly puzzling. Their respective distributions remain poorly known on the edges of their parapatric ranges, as both species lack external differentiation. Contra earlier mitochondrial phylogenies, new phylogenomic inferences have shown that A. fragilis and A. veronensis are sister taxa, thus casting doubts on their specific status. In this study, we analyze the A. fragilis/veronensis transition in southeastern France, based on one mitochondrial (ND2) and two nuclear (PRLR and HA1) genetic markers in 81 specimens from 61 localities. The ranges of A. fragilis and A. veronensis roughly extends northwest and southeast of the Rhône-Durance valleys, respectively, with clear signs of introgressive hybridization in the areas of contact (notably the eastern parts of the lower Rhône valley). Based on the three molecular markers analyzed, gene flow does not seem to reach outside the narrow hybrid zone, which likely indicates (incomplete) intrinsic reproductive isolation. Hence, we provisionally suggest maintaining A. veronensis as a separate species from A. fragilis. More generally, patterns of genetic divergence, external differentiation, and hybridization (both historical and contemporary) in Anguis ssp. supports a speciation continuum spanning from cryptic, genetically compatible alloparapatric lineages to phenotypically distinct, deeply diverged and fully reproductively isolated taxa able to coexist in sympatry.
The Polaire Brotherhood (La Fraternité polaire) in Belgrade
Authors: Radulović Nemanja 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The Polaire Brotherhood (La Fraternité polaire) was an occult society active in interwar Paris. Some of the important names of the French occult scene of the period were among its members. According to the reports in the bulletin of the society, there was also a branch operating in Belgrade in the 1930s. However, this has not previously been confirmed. Archive materials used for this paper attest to the existence of the Belgrade group for the first time. Its most important figure was Ksenija Atanasijević (1894–1981), a prominent philosopher. Therefore, attention is also paid to her involvement with Theosophy and co-masonry and the place of esotericism in her work. The activity of the group reminded of the Theosophical—it included meetings, lectures and meditations. They were also familiar with The Oracle of Astral Force (the Fraternité’s key method). The existence of a branch of the French brotherhood in this period can be understood in the context of the French-Serbian cultural relations. This interest in the “alternative” helps us get a better understanding of the history of Serbian intellectuals.

Adapting to Climate-Related Human Mobility into Europe: Between the Protection Agenda and the Deterrence Paradigm, or Beyond?
Authors: Scott Matthew 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
In 2015, following a series of sub-regional consultations, 109 states endorsed an Agenda for the Protection of Cross-Border Displaced Persons in the Context of Disasters and Climate Change. Although active in supporting the consultative process and notwithstanding their endorsement of this ‘Protection Agenda’, the European Union and its Member States promote ‘effective practices’ in the global South without committing to the same course of action at home. Recognizing that the Protection Agenda is difficult to reconcile with contemporary migration politics in the global North, this article argues that an approach that builds on the European Climate Law commitment to pursue climate change adaptation ‘guided by the best available and most recent scientific evidence’ provides a starting point for addressing some important aspects of human mobility in the context of disasters and climate change, and provides a context for discussing the kind of transformational adaptation called for by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Revision of Periboeum Thomson, 1864 (Insecta, Coleoptera, Cerambycidae) with the description of two new species
Authors: Nascimento Francisco E. de L. , Mermudes José Ricardo M. 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Herein, we present a revision of Periboeum Thomson, 1864 and its species, which are redescribed based on a detailed morphological study of exoskeleton. In addition, two new species are described from Brazil: Periboeum birai sp. nov. from the Caatinga biome (Bahia state) and Periboeum santossilvai sp. nov. from the Amazon biome (Pará and Amazonas states). The following synonymies are also proposed: P. acuminatum (Thomson, 1861) = P. atylodes Salvador, 1978 syn. nov.; P. ocellatum Gounelle, 1909 = P. maculatum Magno, 1987 syn. nov.; Sphaerion inerme White, 1853 = P. aduncum Napp & Martins, 1984 syn. nov. The following new combination is also proposed, Mephritus paucispinum (Lameere, 1890) comb. nov. (previously allocated in Periboeum). Additionally, we present new distributional records for P. obscuricone, Martins & Monné, 1975 (Peru and Argentina), P. terminatum (Perroud, 1855) (Uruguay), and P. vicinum (Perroud, 1855) (Bolivia). An updated key, photographs of all species (including types, when available), distribution maps, scanning electron microscopy images and schematic drawings are provided. Through this study, we conclude that transversal wrinkles near the posterior margin of pronotum (in some species, it is present on the entire pronotum) should be included as a new diagnostic feature for the genus.
An analysis of Hodgson’s ‘Thochu’
Authors: SIMS Nathaniel A. 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
In 1853, Brian Houghton Hodgson published linguistic data for Rma (< Trans-Himalayan) under the label ‘Thochu’. Nonetheless, his work has not been fully considered in the study of Rma historical linguistics. Recent advances in the study of Rma phonology allow for us to more confidently identify the position of the variety described by Hodgson as well as isoglosses between Thochu and other Rma varieties. This present article gives an analysis of the Rma forms given by Hodgson and discusses their implications for the historical phonology of Rma.
Seeing Is (Non)Believing and More: Experiencing Further Adventures on the Journey to the West in Seventeenth-Century China
Authors: Ling Xiaoqiao 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Further Adventures on the Journey to the West (Xiyou bu, 1641) is a quintessential literati novella that has inspired critical investigations in disciplines such as formal realism, structuralist narratology, psychological realism, stream-of-consciousness, and dream interpretation. This paper examines how the novella, in the form of a printed book, facilitated a reading experience of the text as a Buddhist allegory for readers’ self-interrogation, recognition, and alteration. Spectatorship plays a key role in readers’ experience of literature in its cognitive capacity: if Monkey as an allegory of the mind is the subject enacted by the text constantly positioned as a spectator of his own dreamscape, the subject enacted by the reader observes Monkey’s journey as a performative terrain sustained by historical and social imaginaries. In addition, illustrations function as a paratextual device that forges new image-text relationships to transcend the linear narrative, thereby altering one’s textual knowledge as part of the reading experience. By investigating the act of seeing that transpires on three levels, this study hopes to gain insight on a gnostic experience between seventeenth-century readers and the xiaoshuo narrative as literary and material artifact.

Effect of Sesbania aculeata as brown manure on grain yield and partial factor productivity of nutrients in dry direct seeded rice-wheat system
Authors: Sah Akhilesh , Singh Devendra Narayan 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Present study was undertaken to assess the scope of Sesbania aculeata as brown manure on grain yield, partial factor productivity of nutrients as well as to cut down the nutritional requirement of direct seeded rice and transplanted rice-wheat system cropping system. Results revealed that puddled transplanted treatment having 100% NPK with Sesbania aculeata recorded highest rice grain yield (4.3 t ha‒1) which was statistically at par to dry direct seeded rice treatment having 100%, 75% and 50% NPK with Sesbania aculeata. The yield of wheat taken after puddled transplanted rice was recorded lower than the wheat grown after direct-seeded rice. System productivity, PFP, AUE, net returns and B: C ratio of DSR-wheat was higher (7.5 t ha‒1, 25 kg grain/kg nutrient applied, 3.3%, USD 870 ha‒1, 1.2) compared to puddle transplanted rice-wheat (7.4 t ha‒1, 24.5 kg grain/kg nutrient applied, 0.6 %, USD 786 ha‒1, 0.9, respectively). The highest B: C ratio (2.4) was recorded in treatment having 50% NPK of recommended dose, which was statistically at par with the treatment having 75% NPK of recommended dose. Interaction effect of nutrient application coupled with crop establishment method revealed that the highest B:C ratio (1.7) was registered also in DSR-wheat system having 75% and 50% NPK of recommended dose.
DUS descriptors based morphometric characterization to analyze genetic variability in gladiolus
Authors: Hiremath Varun M. , Singh Kanwar Pal , Swaroop Kishan , Panwar Sapna , A. Pooja , B.K. Tejukumar 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Present investigation involved phenotypic characterization of 84 gladiolus genotypes based on 18 DUS descriptors to estimate genetic variation and identify desirable genotypes for hybridization. Considerable variability was observed among the genotypes for most of the traits and principal component analysis revealed that the first two principal components explained most of the existing variation (>98%) in the germplasm. Genotypic coefficient of variation exhibited a wide range from 7.80% (androecium length) to 37.11% (duration of flowering) while, phenotypic coefficient of variation ranged from 8.12% (androecium length) to 37.61% (duration of flowering). Strong broad sense heritability estimates (>95%) were observed for the characters viz., bract length, flower width, tepal length, tepal width, style length, time of beginning of flowering and duration of flowering. Seventy four pair wise inter-trait combinations showed significant and positive genotypic and phenotypic correlations among 153 possible trait combinations. Mahalanobis D2 statistic analysis revealed that genotypes of the cluster II and V to be highly distinct and hybridization between them might have better chance to obtain desirable recombinants. Ward’s cluster analysis confirmed that the cv. Victor and cv. Malaviya Shatabdi to be highly diverse for the selected traits. It is concluded that the above genotypes may be utilized in crossing programme to obtain better progenies. Characterized data of gladiolus germplasm would assist the breeders in varietal identification, conservation and their sustainable utilization during breeding programme.
Soldier Saints, Missionaries and the Mountains
Authors: Bhutia Dechen Dolkar , Chaturvedi Namrata 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
This paper intends to contextualise the life of Christianity in British India through the developments in military theology in the late eighteenth and through the nineteenth century that put forth the image of the ‘soldier saint’- a true Christian soldier, British in blood and in faith. This discourse intensified after the military turned civilian Indian rebellion of 1857 which was immediately coloured in Christian vs heathen terms, and following which, the spiritual needs of Christian soldiers came into focus with the East India Company. The deaths, rituals and continued traditions of burial of the Christian soldiers, officers, and civilians have been marked through some prominent cemeteries and war memorials in India. While studies of these sites of memory have focused on the graves, tombs, and memorials in parts of north, west and south India, the frontier region of northeast India has remained outside the focus of most studies. This paper has chosen the eastern Himalayan territories comprising Sikkim and Kalimpong that fall on or near the Silk route to bring attention to the history of territorial aggression and the resulting material memory of lesser-known cemeteries and memorials Further. This paper analyses lesser discussed fiction to bring into focus the region’s human geography. This paper recognises the need to study inter-religious relations through materiality and afterlives of Christianity in India that was shaped to a large extent by the soldiers-both British and native, and the chaplains, gravediggers, priests and nurses and caregivers whose lives are recorded in the memory of death. By doing so, this study hopes to bring new dimensions to the study of Christianity in India with the inclusion of the materiality of religion, the postcolonial gothic imaginary and military theology.
Staatsbevoegdheid in Kerkelijke Aangelegenheden Volgens de Orthodoxie
Authors: Walter A.A. J. 
Published: March 2023

State authority in the Church according to Orthodox Tradition.
Recent events in Russia and Greece suggest that the Orthodox concede to the State more readily than do Catholics. fundamental office in the Church. There have indeed never lacked Orthodox theologians who vigorously defend the autonomy of the Church. However they have generally been. minority. The apparent readiness of the majority to collaborate even with. regime hostile to religion has. basis in the Stoic doctrine of Providence which deeply influenced Hellenistic political thought. According to this doctrine the Emperor was. Providential figure and the deputy of Jupiter. Christians attributed. Providential rôle to the Empire even before the conversion of Constantine. Eusebius and the court theologians easily adapted this Providential rôle to the Christian emperor. Constantine was the friend of Christ with. special vocation. Each of his successors was. New Constantine. Although the preoccupations of Christian emperors were not always those of the bishops,. harmony between the two offices of successor to the Apostles and successor to Constantine was achieved in the seven ecumenical councils. The doctrine of ʽsymphonyʼ was developed by Photius in the Epanagoge. Later Emperors, however, attempted to exert. more autocratic office in the Church. They attributed supremacy in Church affairs to their predecessors, and one canonist explicitly derived the Emperorʼs authority in religion from the office of Pontifex Maximus exercised by pre-Christian emperors.
