Hugo Grotius’s De iure belli ac pacis: A Report on the Worldwide Census of the Fifth Edition (1632, Blaeu)
Authors: Corredera Edward Jones , Dufour Pablo Nicolas , Muschel Lara , Salerno Emanuele , Twining Timothy , Somos Mark 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This article provides new information on the printing and readership history of the fifth edition of De iure belli ac pacis. Building on our earlier research on the way that the dispute between Willem Janszoon Blaeu and Johannes Janssonius influenced the publication of the 1631 edition of the text, this article studies how Blaeu harnessed his position to make the 1632 edition more reputable than the earlier version published by his rival. The article considers how, over four centuries, readers have appreciated the quality of the production and three engaged with the text for radically different ends: Remigius Faesch, Baron von Boineburg, and Wendell Phillips. The article draws attention to the changes and continuities in reading and annotation patterns and offers preliminary insights into the themes that these influential readers focused on. We hope that it will inspire readers to bring further copies to our attention.
French Governors and Dutch Merchants
Authors: van den Bel Martijn M. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Where most scholarship on the origins of the sugar revolution has focused on the English islands, this article draws on detailed research in Dutch and French archives to show how Dutch merchants were crucial actors in promoting the sugar revolution in the Lesser Antilles. Despite the fact that both English and French islands experienced similar developments, the relationship between these islands is barely known in English literature largely due to the language barrier. Illustrating the Dutch-French relationship allows us to develop a more regionally inclusive and trans-national perspective that shows how the early Caribbean economy, French and English, benefitted from a web of links forged by ambitious Dutch merchants between Europe, Brazil, and the Caribbean.
End Times and the Modern World: The Ahmadiyya in Colonial Ghana
Authors: Hanson John H. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The Ahmadiyya, a messianic Muslim missionary movement that expanded globally from South Asia, provided religious, social, and educational services and offered a compelling End Times message in colonial Ghana. An Ahmadi missionary arrived at the invitation of African Muslims, who learned about the movement from the Ahmadiyya’s English-language publications. Africans negotiated the terms of the mission’s founding and supported the residence of a South Asian missionary. Other West African Muslim movements navigated the colonial era with reformed religious practices and organizational changes, and the Ahmadiyya was distinctive with its English-language schools and an eschatology based on its founder’s claims to receive divine revelation as the Messiah and Mahdi. Ghanaian Ahmadi Muslims were a small minority within an overall Muslim minority in Ghana. Their initiatives created a dynamic regional center in an expanding Ahmadiyya network.
The “Hoffman Complex” in V. Khotinenko’s film based on F.M. Dostoevsky’s Demons
Authors: Koroleva Vera Vladimirovna 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The article examines the reception of the traditions of E.T.A. Hoffman (Elixirs of the Devil) in F.M. Dostoevsky’s novel Demons and the film directed by V. Khotinenko (Demons) (2014). It is proposed to consider the features of Hoffmann’s poetics in the novel of the Russian writer in the form of a “Hoffmann’s complex”, which functions systematically and represents the unity of problematics, images and stylistic techniques. It is argued that the “Hoffman complex” in Dostoevsky’s Demons manifests itself in the following components: an appeal to the problem of crime and redemption, which is revealed in the image of Stavrogin (the motive of the path through crime - pride, adultery, murder – to repentance); in Hoffman’s plot of apostasy; in the actualization of the problem of mechanization of life and man - the puppet representatives of the circle of Stavrogin, the mechanistic nature of Stavrogin himself, the puppetry of the guests at the ball; understanding the nature of duality - internal doubles (demons) and external doubles (Peter Verkhovensky, Shatov); the use of Hoffmann’s stylistics, which is represented by “destructive irony” and the grotesque, manifesting itself in romantic oppositions (beautiful – ugly, alive – dead). It is argued that these components of the “Hoffman complex” not only find expression in the film of V. Khotinenko, but are also complemented by other techniques that point to Hoffmann’s tradition: the emphasis on the plot “crime and repentance”, the development of the image of a double, the introduction of the image of a butterfly, actualizing the oppositions living – dead and beautiful – ugly, a new version of the finale, reflecting Hoffmann’s idea of the way to finding oneself. The results of the study show the presence of the “Hoffman’s complex” in the film based on Dostoevsky’s novel Demons, which allows us to consider it as a significant stage in the development of the “Hoffman narrative of Russian literature”.
Reception of Literature through the Prism of War: Testimony of a Teacher at the University in Ukraine
Authors: Bystrova Elena 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This is a personal testimony of the experience of a teacher of literature, who was facing a class of frightened students on February 24, 2022. The young people wanted an explanation for what was happening. The teacher did not have one and is trying to come to terms with the Russian invasion of her country by reviewing some aspects of Russia culture which have been a guiding light to her in her career as a literature teacher. Obstructing any form of dissemination of Russian culture amongst student in Ukraine is the knowledge that the Russian Federation’s aim is the total negation of Ukrainian culture and nationhood.
Dostoevsky, Hegel, and the sequel to The Brothers Karamazov
Authors: Buchanan Henry 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This paper considers the sequel Dostoevsky planned to write for The Brothers Karamazov – through the sources of his wife Anna, the biographer Nina Hoffmann and A.S. Suvorin’s diary, through the novel itself, and through Dostoevsky’s post-Karamazov notes. It sees Alesha’s fate in the sequel as a “Russian socialist” who will try to build Zosima’s earthly paradise of universal brotherhood, a notion for which there are deep affinities with Dostoevsky’s ideal of a Golden Age of international socialism. It contends that Dostoevsky was influenced by Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit for Alesha’s epiphany under the “stars” – where he is at one with the universe, like the more spiritual people of the antique Golden Age – and that this episode initiates his quest to establish Zosima’s paradise on earth or Dostoevsky’s new Golden Age.

Al-simāt al-khalīl (the Table of Abraham) in Hebron during the Ottoman Period
Authors: Eroğlu Memiş Şerife 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The holy city of Hebron had perhaps the most long established and renowned imāret, called al-simāt al-Khalīl, the Table of Abraham, for feeding the poor and needy people, pilgrims, sūfīs, travelers, strangers, and other guests who arrived at its shrines. Gifts of food and large-scale distributions were standard practice during various religious festivals and celebrations, which were not only substantive but comprised a measure of sanctity as well. This thriving table retained its vitality for the region during also the Ottoman period. This study defines the actual operation of this simāt in the Ottoman period. For this, the article aims to establish the revenue and expense figures of the simāt, and then evaluate personnel records, their wages, and kitchen outlays in order to reach a conclusion about the scope of operations sustained by the simāt. It will make use a set of valuable historical sources like waqf account books to be able to provide valuable insights into not only the actual operation of the simāt, but also its economic and social role in general.
The “Appropriateness” of Religious Welfare from Lebanese Christian Churches
Authors: Allegrini Jean 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Since 2011, more than a million Syrians have fled to Lebanon. Standing close to the Syrian border, the welfare departments of Eastern Christian bishoprics in Zahle are at the forefront of the humanitarian response. Through the comparison of the Maronite, Greek Catholic and Syriac Orthodox Churches, I argue that these faith-based organisations (fbo s) implement an “appropriate” mode of reasoning to design their humanitarian aid strategies which challenges rational assumptions. This article reveals that the “national” or “diasporic” character of Lebanese Christian fbo s matters more than their welfare capacity in determining the Church’s policy of care at times of crisis. These examples illustrate that fbo s present a rare adaptiveness to their beneficiaries’ needs, notably by relying on transnational and diasporic support. Overall, this research demonstrates that fbo s are essential actors in addressing situations of forced displacements, but it also emphasises the importance of considering each fbo’s identity to understand their mechanisms of solidarity.
The Environmental Perspective of the Right to Water in the Case Law of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights
Authors: Notini Moreira Bahia Amael , Lima Lucas Carlos 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This article aims at understanding the environmental perspective of the human right to water in the case law of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACtHR). The paper firstly introduces the human right to water in general international law. Secondly, it examines the constructions implemented in the jurisprudence of the IACtHR. Thereafter, it goes on to discuss the Advisory Opinion n 23/17 innovations regarding human rights water in environmental perspective. Finally, the repercussion of this decision is presented in the context of the recent jurisprudence of the IACtHR, which recognizes the interconnection of the promotion of the human right to water and the protection of water resources. The article argues that, despite the jurisdictional challenges to the human right to water in the IACtHR, the integration of the protection of the environment and the human right to water provides a new normative perspective in domestic and international human rights law for the protection and utilization of water resources.
International Water Law’s Role in Addressing the Problem of Marine Plastic Pollution: A Vital Piece in a Complex Puzzle!
Authors: McIntyre Owen 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The management and protection of water resources, and thus the practice of water law, is absolutely central to every aspect of human well-being. This is as true at the international level as at the domestic level. Water pervades every area of human activity and connects almost every form of pollution and environmental harm. This truism is clearly illustrated by the highly topical problem of marine plastic pollution (MPP) which, though it concerns the ubiquitous use and eventual accumulation in the marine environment of a broad category of environmentally persistent synthetic materials, is intrinsically linked to the environmental management of major rivers, many of which are shared international watercourses. While the general international obligation to prevent marine pollution by plastics can be derived from both international marine environmental law and international water law, evolving practice under the latter framework, and under related sub-fields of international and transnational environmental law, provides helpful clarity regarding the normative parameters of the due diligence standard of conduct expected of all States in this regard.
Evaluation of Damage to Wetland Ecosystems in International Compensation: Compensability, Quantification and Equitable Considerations
Authors: Zhao Yuqing 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Wetlands are among the most productive and sensitive ecosystems of particular importance and harm to this type of environment should be treated with a high degree of seriousness. The obligation to protect wetland ecosystems can be derived both from treaties and from general international law, and damage to wetland ecosystems entails an obligation to make reparation in an adequate form. Where appropriate, compensation should be provided in order to ensure full reparation. However, no specific method of valuation is prescribed by international law for the purpose of compensation for environmental damage, and the need to have operable guidelines for valuing environmental damage thus arises. This article aims to contemplate the approach for evaluating damages to wetland ecosystems, that is, how to decide on the amount of compensation due for damages to wetland ecosystem services. At the outset, the sources of an international obligation to protect wetland ecosystems and the compensability of damage to wetland ecosystems, notably ecosystem services, are analyzed. After explaining the difficulties concerning the quantification of wetland ecosystem services, the article introduces a range of valuation techniques relating to valuing wetland services. Then it outlines the key considerations that facilitate the choice among competing techniques and approaches in international judicial proceedings. In the end, it points out that under certain circumstances, equitable considerations may be drawn upon to determine the quantum of compensation. The ultimate goal is to facilitate the development of a legal framework for evaluating damages to wetland ecosystems.
Putin and the Third Rome
Authors: Drost Niels , de Graaf Beatrice 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
In this article we use the concept of ‘radicalization’ and ‘usable past’ to analyze how the Russian president Vladimir Putin crafted a specific narrative to legitimize the war against Ukraine. This narrative is the product of a series of ideologically, religiously and historically informed frames that Putin developed over the past 22 years. We outline how Putin made use of christian-imperial history as a ‘usable past’ for him to 1) formulate a new state ideology, 2) mobilize society behind the mission of the Holy Russian Empire, 3) demonize enemies and legitimize their planned destruction, and 4) embed this mission and ideology in an overarching apocalyptical, metaphysical scheme, in which death and war are noble goals for Russians to embrace, in order to obtain their place in heaven.
A Further Conversation on Social Imaginaries
Authors: Adams Suzi , Arnason Johann P. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The conversation begins with a discussion of political philosophy, a critique of a priori normativist approaches to that field, and reflections on the distinction between politics and the political. It moves on to clarify the place of the political within an ontology of the social-historical; while the pioneering contribution of Castoriadis to such an ontology is acknowledged, the need for a more elaborate theory of creative action, with due allowance for its involvement in historical processes, is emphasized. After some considerations on the role of ideology and utopia within the social-historical context, the conversation moves back to the questions of autonomy, creativity and the imaginary, and underlines the need to theorize autonomy as an imaginary signification in its own right, rather than merely a new attitude to imaginary significations. Implications of that view for the idea of reflective autonomy are discussed, with particular emphasis on confronting the omnipresent temptation of hubris, the condition of value pluralism and the fundamental fact of uncertainty about the future. The conversation concludes with some comments on diagnoses of our times, and a critique of various “postisms” as well as of the attempts to reduce contemporary societies to a single denominator.

Published: December 2022

Objectives: Endovascular embolization has emerged as an effective treatment for intractable epistaxis. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to calculate the rates of success, rebleeds, and complications and to identify the etiologies and complications of patients who undergo endovascular embolization. Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted per the guidelines set forth by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Articles were extracted from Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central and were filtered by a systematic review process using Rayyan software. A random-effects model was used to quantify the rates success, rebleeds, and complications. Results: Forty-two studies were included, totaling 1660 patients. The pooled success rate was 89% (95% confidence interval [CI] 86%-92%) and the pooled rebleed rate was 19% (95% CI 16%-22%). The pooled minor complication rate was 18% (95% CI 11%-27%). The most common major complication was soft tissue necrosis followed by stroke. The most common minor complication was facial pain. No minor complications were reported to be permanent. Of the patients who failed initial embolization, 42% underwent repeat embolization and 34% underwent surgical arterial ligation. Conclusions: Endovascular embolization is an effective treatment for intractable epistaxis. The decision to perform embolization should be carefully weighed given the rare but significant major complications.

Published: December 2022

Background The advantages of segmentectomy over lobectomy in sparing pulmonary function remain controversial. Lower lobe segmentectomy is divided into simple segmentectomy, such as segment 6; and complex segmentectomy that includes the basal segments. Here, we compared residual lung function after thoracoscopic segmentectomy versus lobectomy in the lower lobe using the three-dimensional computed tomography volumetric method. Methods Between January 2012 and October 2020, 67 patients who underwent thoracoscopic segmentectomy of the lower lobe were matched to 67 patients who underwent thoracoscopic lower lobectomy during the same period using propensity score matching analysis. The postoperative decrease in the rate of forced expiratory volume in 1 s was compared between methods. The regional forced expiratory volume in 1 s of the residual lobe rescued by segmentectomy was measured using volumetric and spirometric analyses and compared to lower lobectomy. The ratio of the actual to predicted postoperative forced expiratory volume in 1 s in the residual lobe was defined as the preservation rate. Results Of the 67 thoracoscopic segmentectomies, 43 were S6, seven were S8, three were S8  +  9, seven were S10, and seven were S9  +  10. The percentage of postoperative/preoperative forced expiratory volume in 1 s was significantly higher in the segmentectomy versus lobectomy group (90.7% vs. 85.7%, p  =  0.001). The preservation rates after simple segmentectomy ( n  =  43) and complex segmentectomy ( n  =  24) did not differ significantly (82.2% vs. 80.2%, p  =  0.709). Conclusions Thoracoscopic lower lobe segmentectomy versus lobectomy preserves postoperative lung function. Even complex segmentectomy exhibited outcomes relevant to simple segmentectomy by sparing the residual lobe.

Abstract
The tyrosine kinase inhibitor dasatinib is approved for Philadelphia chromosome–positive leukemia, including chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Although effective and well tolerated, patients typically exhibit a transient lymphocytosis after dasatinib uptake. To date, the underlying physiological process linking dasatinib to lymphocytosis remains unknown. Here, we used a small rodent model to examine the mechanism of dasatinib-induced lymphocytosis, focusing on lymphocyte trafficking into and out of secondary lymphoid organs. Our data indicate that lymphocyte homing to lymph nodes and spleen remained unaffected by dasatinib treatment. In contrast, dasatinib promoted lymphocyte egress from spleen with kinetics consistent with the observed lymphocytosis. Unexpectedly, dasatinib-induced lymphocyte egress occurred independently of canonical sphingosine-1-phosphate–mediated egress signals; instead, dasatinib treatment led to a decrease in spleen size, concomitant with increased splenic stromal cell contractility, as measured by myosin light chain phosphorylation. Accordingly, dasatinib-induced lymphocytosis was partially reversed by pharmacological inhibition of the contraction-promoting factor Rho-rho associated kinase. Finally, we uncovered a decrease in spleen size in patients with CML who showed lymphocytosis immediately after dasatinib treatment, and this reduction was proportional to the magnitude of lymphocytosis and dasatinib plasma levels. In summary, our work provides evidence that dasatinib-induced lymphocytosis is a consequence of drug-induced contractility of splenic stromal cells.
