“The King Whom Yahweh Your God Chooses”: Deuteronomic Kingship in a World of Sacral Kingship
Authors: Hwang Jerry 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Hebrew Bible scholars tend to dismiss Deuteronomy’s “Law of the King” (17:14–20) as a utopian construct that was never realistic and/or historical. Underlying these views, however, are certain assumptions about what is culturally plausible in a world dominated by sacral kingship. Since this is the most common form of government in human history, generalizations about the historicity of Deuteronomic kingship requires an intercultural analysis of theopolitics, divine right of kings, and separation of powers. This article sets Deuteronomic kingship in the larger context of sacral kingship in Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. What then emerges is the bridging of a notable false dichotomy in scholarship – Israel’s form of sacral kingship is both distinctive as well as realistic in nature. This suggests that skepticism about the historicity of the “Law of the King” is beholden to a Eurocentric frame of reference which is also skeptical of Western-style absolute monarchy.
South African Literature and the “Strange Seductiveness” of the Fantastic
Authors: Ben Salem Lobna 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
In Postcolonial literature, magic realism and science fiction are two sub-genres that have worked diligently to contest realism as a western novelistic tradition. In the South African context, the fantastic initiates a process of psychic liberation from old (White) world narrative domination and its cognitive codes. It recapitulates problems of historical consciousness in (post)apartheid cultures and interrogates inherited notions of imperial history. This paper reads two “fantastic” texts that belong to a similar post-colonial culture—South Africa—and strives to explain the ways in which these texts recapitulate, in both their narrative discourse and their thematic content, the “real” social and historical context in which (post)apartheid South African culture existed and thrived. Zakes Mda’s Ways of Dying and Lauren Beukes’ Zoo City use magic realism and science fiction respectively to re-view and debunk inherited literary modes of colonial discourse and to work towards more authentic yet challenging “codes of recognition”. By so doing, they offer positive and liberating responses to new emerging cultural forms.
William Moorcroft, Potter
Authors: Mallinson Jonathan 
Published: August 2023

William Moorcroft (1872-1945) was one of the most celebrated potters of the early twentieth century. His career extended from the Arts and Crafts movement of the late Victorian age to the Austerity aesthetics of the Second World War. Rejecting mass production and patronised by Royalty, Moorcroft’s work was a synthesis of studio and factory, art and industry. He considered it his vocation to create an everyday art, both functional and decorative, affordable by more than a privileged few: ‘If only the people in the world would concentrate upon making all things beautiful, and if all people concentrated on developing the arts of Peace, what a world it might be,’ he wrote in a letter to his daughter in 1930.
'William Moorcroft, Potter: Individuality by Design' is a pioneering study by Jonathan Mallinson, Emeritus Fellow of Trinity College, Oxford. It follows the career of William Moorcroft through a wealth of private papers, letters and diaries, business correspondence and published reviews in newspapers, trade magazines and art journals. Richly illustrated with examples of his pottery, it explores what lay behind the unique impact of work sought by museums and treasured in homes the world over. The book examines an artist’s very individual response to the turbulent half century in which he worked. It will appeal to both specialists and general readers with an interest in pottery, the decorative arts, and the cultural history of the times.
Precipitation Vertical Structure Characterization: A Feature-Based Approach
Authors: Arulraj Malarvizhi , Petkovic Veljko , Ferraro Ralph R. , Meng Huan 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The three-dimensional (3D) structure of precipitation systems is highly dependent on hydrometeor formation processes and microphysics. This study aims to characterize distinct vertical profiles of precipitation regimes by relying on the availability of a high-quality, spatially dense radar network and its capability to observe the 3D structure of the storms. A deep-learning-based framework, coupled with unsupervised clustering methods, is developed to identify types of precipitation structures irrespective of their physical properties. A 6-month period of 3D reflectivity profiles from the Multi-Radar Multi-Sensor (MRMS) network is used to identify different regimes and investigate their properties with respect to the underlying environmental conditions. Dominant features retrieved from radar reflectivity profiles using convolutional neural-network-based autoencoders are employed to identify similar-looking vertical structures using coupled k-means and agglomerative clustering algorithms. The k-means method identifies distinct groups, while the agglomerative clustering visualizes intercluster relationships. The framework identifies 18 clusters that can be broadly combined into five groups of varied echo-top heights. The 18 clusters demonstrate variability with respect to structural features and precipitation rate/type, implying that profiles in each group belong to a physically different precipitation regime. An independent analysis of the regime properties is conducted by matching the MRMS reflectivity profiles with environmental parameters derived from the High-Resolution Rapid Refresh model forecasts. The distribution of the environmental variables confirms cluster-specific feature properties, confirming the physics-based regime separation across the clusters and their dependence on the vertical structure. The identified precipitation regimes can assist in developing physics-guided retrievals and studying precipitation regimes.

Significance Statement
This study proposes a systematic model to identify precipitation profiles of distinct vertical structures and evaluate their dependence on environmental conditions. The model was developed using ground-based radar observations; however, there is potential to extend this model to reflectivity profiles from both ground- and satellite-based sensors. In addition, the identified precipitation regime clusters could be a proxy for the vertical structure of precipitation systems and assist in determining the structural variability within traditional precipitation type classification (e.g., convective versus stratiform). Moreover, identifying the precipitation regimes could also be used to improve satellite-based precipitation retrievals. Finally, a better understanding of precipitation structure would also help improve the initialization of climate models.
On the Pattern and Attribution of Pan Evaporation over China (1951–2021)

Abstract
Pan evaporation (Epan) serves as a monitorable method for estimating potential evaporation, evapotranspiration, and reference crop evapotranspiration, providing crucial data and information for fields such as water resource management and agricultural irrigation. Based on the PenPan model, the monthly Epan was calculated over China during 1951–2021, resulting in an average R2 of 0.93 ± 0.045 and an RMSE of 21.48 ± 6.06 mm month−1. The trend of Epan over time was characterized by an initial increase before 1961, followed by a decrease from 1961 to 1993, and a subsequent increase from 1994 to 2021. However, the sustained duration and magnitude of the decreasing trend led to an overall decreasing trend in the long-term dataset. To better understand the drivers of Epan trends, the Epan process was decomposed into radiative and aerodynamic components. While radiation was found to be the dominant component, its trend remained relatively stable over time. In contrast, the aerodynamic component, although smaller in proportion, exhibited larger fluctuations and played a crucial role in the trend of Epan. The primary influencing factors of the aerodynamic component were found to be wind speed and vapor pressure deficit (VPD). Wind speed and VPD jointly promoted Epan before 1961, and the significant decrease in wind speed from 1961 to 1993 led to a decrease in Epan. From 1994 to 2021, the increase in VPD was found to be the main driver of the observed increase in Epan. These results show the complex and dynamic nature of Epan and underscore the need for continued monitoring and in-depth analysis of its drivers.

Significance Statement
The primary objective of this study is to explore the spatiotemporal patterns and potential driving factors of pan evaporation in China based on constructing a comprehensive dataset of pan evaporation. This is important because pan evaporation is an important indicator of the water cycle, which is currently undergoing modifications and is expected to become more pronounced as the climate continues to warm. Our findings showed that the patterns of pan evaporation were characterized by its drivers. As the drivers are numerous and continuously changing under climate change, it is necessary to pay attention to the pattern and attribution of pan evaporation.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the determinants of foreign institutional investors (FIIs) in the Indian equity market. For this purpose, the study has chosen country-specific push and pull factors for the period from January 2011 to December 2019. The beginning of the concerned period is marked by increased FII flows in the Indian market after the global financial crisis of 2008. The study has identified the stock market index of India, interest rate differential between India and the USA, inflation rate, and exchange rate as possible determinants of FII inflows in India and used the augmented autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach based on the statistical properties of variables selected. The study found that in the long-run Indian stock market index, appreciating exchange rate, inflation, and interest rate differential are positively related to FII inflows in the Indian equity market whereas the US stock index is negatively related to FII inflows in India.

Objective To assess the efficacy of subthreshold micropulse laser photocoagulation (SMLP) therapy versus anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy in patients with refractory macular edema (ME) secondary to non-ischemic branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). Methods This single-center, prospective, nonrandomized, case-control trial involved patients with refractory ME that responded poorly to three or more initial anti-VEGF injections. The patients were examined and divided into two groups according to their chosen treatment: the intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR) group and the SMLP group. Both groups were followed up monthly for 12 months. Therapeutic efficacy and safety were assessed throughout the follow-up period. Results The IVR group comprised 49 eyes, and the SMLP group comprised 45 eyes. The improvements in the optical coherence tomography findings and visual acuity were comparable between the two groups at the final follow-up. The total number of injections was significantly lower in the SMLP than IVR group. No serious adverse events occurred during the study period. Conclusions SMLP therapy is better for patients with central macular thickness (CMT) of ≤400 μm. For patients with CMT of >400 μm, we advise continuation of anti-VEGF agents to reduce ME followed by application of SMLP therapy when CMT has decreased to ≤400 μm.
Crosslinked polyimides with bulky side-group polyhedral silsesquioxanes: Towards lower dielectric constant and better mechanical property
Authors: Wang Mengqiu , Song Qianyu , Zheng Lishuai , Hou Linxi 
Published: August 2023

The synthesis of a low dielectric constant polyimide (PI) with a polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) cross-linked structure is presented. A non-planar conjugated diamine monomer (FSNH2) with two -CH=CH2 reactive groups was first synthesised in a two-step process, and then two polyimides were synthesized by PSS-Octavinyl (OVPOSS) substituted, FSNH2 and dianhydride. OVPOSS cross-linked polyimides have good thermal stability and low dielectric constant. 6FDA-FSNH2-OVPOSS(6FPI-3) can reach a minimum dielectric constant of 2.08 (108 Hz) and a dielectric loss of 0.008 (108 Hz). In addition, the cross-linked structure of the OVPOSS and polyimide chains prevents the agglomeration of OVPOSS to a certain extent and improves the tensile strength and elongation at break of the polyimides, which has great application potential in large-scale integrated circuits.

Authors: Lanier Cameron , Melton Tyler C. 
Published: August 2023

Objective: The objective of the study is to describe and analyze the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of oteseconazole as well as the clinical evidence supporting the efficacy of oteseconazole in treating recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC). Data Sources: A literature search was conducted using MEDLINE and EMBASE databases (2015-June 2023). Search terms included “oteseconazole” OR “VT-1161” or “VIVJOA” AND “RVVC” or “recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis” or “vulvovaginal candidiasis.” Conference abstracts, bibliographies, clinical trials, and drug monographs were included for review. Study Selection and Data Extraction: Relevant studies in English and clinical trials conducted in humans were reviewed. Data Synthesis: Oteseconazole is approved for the treatment of RVVC. In 2 identical phase III studies, oteseconazole was superior to placebo through 48 weeks for preventing recurrence of RVVC (6.7% vs 42.8%, P < 0.001 and 3.9% vs 39.4%, P < 0.001). In the only phase III trial comparing oteseconazole against active drug, oteseconazole was well tolerated and exhibited noninferiority to fluconazole in acute treatment and superiority to placebo for prevention maintenance through 50 weeks (5.1% vs 42.2%, P < 0.001). Relevance to Patient Care and Clinical Practice in Comparison to Existing Agents: This review describes the use of oteseconazole for the treatment of RVVC as compared with fluconazole. Oteseconazole is an effective treatment option for common pathogens causing vulvovaginal candidiasis, including Candida and fluconazole-resistant Candida. Conclusions: Oteseconazole is an effective and safe treatment option for the management of RVVC though current research lacks comparison with established maintenance regimens. Additional research is needed to ascertain the placement of oteseconazole in the treatment of RVVC.

Introduction Although there is growth in the approach to telerehabilitation (TLRH) in different pathologies, research on TLRH for the management of low back pain is scarce and controversial. Thus, the purpose of this study was to analyze whether a TLRH program is as effective as a clinical exercise program in improving pain and different functional variables in patients with nonspecific low back pain (NLBP). Method A single-blind, two-armed randomized controlled trial was carried out with 68 individuals with chronic NLBP. Participants were randomly allocated to either the TLRH group (TG) ( n = 34) or the clinic group (CG) ( n = 34). The TG received an exercise-based TLRH video and an educational program on the neurophysiology of pain. The CG received the same pain education and exercise program at the clinic facility supervised by a clinician. Both groups performed 2 weekly sessions for 8 weeks. Active movements of the lumbar spine, pain and range of motion, and kinesiophobia were assessed at baseline, at the end of 8 weeks of treatment, and at 3 months. Results Statistically significant differences for time-by-group interaction were identified in range of motion of right ( F = 11.668; p = 0.001) and left ( F = 4.219; p = 0.042) legs when knee extended test is performed; as well as in pain intensity when the same test ( F = 5.176; p = 0.043). Moreover, higher pain level during flexion ( F = 5.133; p = 0.009) and extension movements ( F = 6.335; p = 0.003) in patients with bilateral pain location than those with unilateral or central pain location has been appreciated. Conclusion A TLRH rehabilitation program via mobile app is as effective as the same exercise program supervised in a clinic.
The C-CAP Process: A Comprehensive Approach to Community Resource Mapping
Authors: Mowle Amy , Klepac Bojana , Riley Therese , Craike Melinda 
Published: August 2023

Introduction Place-based systems change approaches are gaining popularity to address the complex problems associated with locational disadvantage. An important stage of place-based systems change involves understanding the context that surrounds (re)produces a target problem. Community resource mapping can be used to establish the context and identify the strengths of a community that might be leveraged through systems change efforts. Approaches to community resource mapping draw on a range of philosophical assumptions and methodological frameworks. However, comprehensive, practical guidance for researchers and practitioners to conduct community resource mapping is scarce. Method Drawing on the learnings from a literature review, scoping workshops, and reflective practice sessions, we developed a flexible, methodologically robust process called the Contextualize, Collect, Analyze, and Present (C-CAP) process: a four-phase approach to preparing for, conducting, and reporting on community resource mapping. The C-CAP process was co-developed by researchers and practitioners and was tested and refined in two different communities. Results The C-CAP process provides robust guidance for conducting and reporting on a community resource mapping project. The C-CAP process can be applied by public health practitioners and researchers and adapted for use across different communities, problems, and target groups. We encourage others guided by differing theoretical perspectives to apply C-CAP and share the learnings. Conclusion Application of the C-CAP process has the potential to improve the comparability and comprehensiveness of findings from community resource mapping projects and avoids duplication of effort by reducing the need to design new processes for each new community resource mapping activity.

Objective: Type B aortic dissection (TBAD) is a life-threatening condition, and it takes heavy burden to family and society. Return to work (RTW) not only means patients’ physical health but also demonstrates their mental well-being. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has been successful in treatment of TBAD patients. However, less studies have addressed on the social functional recovery of TBAD after TEVAR, especially for RTW. Methods: From January 1, 2017 to January 1, 2021, TBAD patients who underwent TEVAR and completed a 12-month follow-up were retrospectively enrolled. Primary outcome was RTW. Patients’ demographic, sociological, and clinical characteristics, and so on were recorded to analyze and demonstrate independent risk factors for RTW. Results: Four hundred thirty-two TBAD patients (388 males) were enrolled with a mean age of 48.3±8.9 years (ranged from 19 to 60 years). The 12-month cumulative RTW rate was 62.7% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 57.2%–67.8%). Age <50 years (odds ratio [OR]=3.675, 95% CI: 1.436–9.405) was identified as independent protective factors for RTW, while preoperative job as manual workers (OR=0.101, 95% CI: 0.029–0.353), average annual income, <30 000 Chinese Yuan (CNY) [<4400 US dollar], (OR=0.186, 95% CI: 0.054–0.637), complicated TBAD (malperfusion) (OR=0.246, 95% CI: 0.092–0.659), and distal stent graft-induced new entry (SINE) (OR=0.218, 95% CI: 0.083–0.575, p=0.002) were identified as independent risk factors. Conclusion: Approximately 64% of our patients were able to RTW in the 12 months post-TEVAR for TBAD. Younger patients, patients with less physically demanding jobs, and patients with less complex surgeries were more likely to RTW. Based on these results, more can be done to facilitate the patient’s ability and willingness to RTW after TEVAR. Clinical Impact Type B aortic dissection (TBAD) is a life-threatening condition that poses significant burden on both individuals and society. The ability to return to work (RTW) not only reflects the patient’s physical health but also indicates their mental well-being. Therefore, identifying risk factors for RTW and promoting the reintegration of TBAD patients into the workforce is crucial in clinical practice.To our knowledge, this study is the first to elucidate and predict the RTW outcomes of TBAD patients who underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR).
