Abstract
Mycotic aneurysms are exceedingly rare in the pediatric population. The optimal surgical treatment for children with this disease is unclear as aneurysm resection and vascular reconstruction are uncommonly performed in young children. We present a unique case of a 21-month-old child with a complex cardiac history who presented with limb ischemia and was discovered to have thrombosis of the common femoral and superficial femoral artery. Groin exploration revealed a left common femoral and superficial femoral artery mycotic aneurysm that was successfully repaired with excision of the mycotic aneurysm, external iliac to profunda femoral artery vascular bypass using cryopreserved arterial allograft and femoral vein reconstruction. This case demonstrates successful vascular reconstruction can be performed in a young child with an Aspergillus mycotic aneurysm using cadaveric arterial allograft.
An Assessment of Quaternary Structure Functionality in Homomer Protein Complexes
Authors: Abrusán György , Foguet Carles 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
It has been recently suggested that a significant fraction of homomer protein–protein interfaces evolve neutrally, without contributing to function, due to a hydrophobic bias in missense mutations. However, the fraction of such gratuitous complexes is currently unknown. Here, we quantified the fraction of homodimers where multimerization is unlikely to contribute to their biochemical function. We show that: 1) ligand binding-site structure predicts whether a homomer is functional or not; the vast majority of homodimers with multichain binding-sites (MBS) are likely to be functional, while in homodimers with single-chain binding-sites (SBS) and small to medium interfaces, quaternary structure is unlikely to be functional in a significant fraction—35%, even up to 42%—of complexes; 2) the hydrophobicity of interfaces changes little with the strength of selection, and the amino acid composition of interfaces is shaped by the “hydrophobic ratchet” in both types, but they are not in a strict equilibrium with mutations; particularly cysteines are much more abundant in mutations than in interfaces or surfaces; 3) in MBS homomers, the interfaces are conserved, while in a high fraction of SBS homomers, the interface is not more conserved than the solvent-accessible surface; and 4) MBS homomer interfaces coevolve more strongly with ligand binding sites than the interfaces of SBS homomers, and MBS complexes have higher capacity to transfer information from ligands across the interfaces than SBS homomers, explaining the enrichment of allostery in the former.
HIV-1 DNA Testing in Viremic Patients Identifies More Drug Resistance Than HIV-1 RNA Testing

Published: March 2023

AbstractBackgroundThe Department of Health and Human Services HIV-1 Treatment Guidelines recommend drug resistance testing in HIV-1 RNA to guide the selection of antiretroviral therapy in patients with viremia. However, resistance-associated mutations (RAMs) in HIV-1 RNA may reflect only the patient’s current regimen and can be lost during prolonged absence of therapy. We determined if HIV-1 DNA testing can provide drug resistance information beyond that identified in contemporaneous plasma virus.MethodsThis was a retrospective database review of results obtained for patients with viremia for whom commercial HIV-1 RNA and HIV-1 DNA drug resistance testing was ordered on the same day. Resistance-associated mutations and drug susceptibility calls were compared between paired tests, and the effect of HIV-1 viral load (VL) on test concordance was assessed using Spearmen’s rho correlation.ResultsAmong 124 paired tests, more RAMs were identified in HIV-1 DNA in 63 (50.8%) cases, and in HIV-1 RNA in 11 (8.87%) cases. HIV-1 DNA testing captured all contemporaneous plasma virus RAMs in 101/117 (86.3%) cases and identified additional RAMs in 63/117 (53.8%) cases. There was a significant positive correlation between the viral load at the time of resistance testing and the percentage of plasma virus RAMs detected in HIV-1 DNA (rs = 0.317; P &lt; .001). In 67 test pairs demonstrating pan-sensitive plasma virus, resistance in HIV-1 DNA was seen in 13 (19.4%) cases.ConclusionsHIV-1 DNA testing identified more resistance than HIV-1 RNA testing in most patients with viremia and may be informative in patients whose plasma virus reverts to wild-type following therapy discontinuation.
AI and the Bomb
Authors: Johnson James 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Will AI make accidental nuclear war more likely? If so, how might these risks be reduced? AI and the Bomb provides a coherent, innovative, and multidisciplinary examination of the potential effects of AI technology on nuclear strategy and escalation risk. The book addresses a gap in the international relations and strategic studies literature that considers how AI might influence nuclear security and future warfare. Its findings have significant theoretical and policy ramifications for using AI technology in the nuclear enterprise. AI and the Bomb advances an innovative theoretical framework to consider AI technology and atomic risk, drawing on insights from political psychology, neuroscience, computer science, and strategic studies. This multidisciplinary study unpacks the seminal cognitive-psychological features of the Cold War-era scholarship, offering a novel explanation for why these matter for AI applications and nuclear strategic thinking; thus ensuring the research’s policy relevance and contribution to the literature that considers the impact of military force and technological change.
The Metaphysics of Light in the Hexaemeral Literature
Authors: Katsos Isidoros C. 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
This work rethinks critically what (we think) we know about the nature of light in the ancient sources. It contests the prevalent view in the history of optics that premodernity theorized light as subordinate to sight (‘oculocentrism’) by examining in depth the contrary textual evidence found in early Christian sources. It shows that, from Philo of Alexandria and Origen to Basil of Caesarea and Gregory of Nyssa, the Jewish-Christian commentary tradition on the biblical creation narrative (‘hexaemeral literature’) reflected deeply on the nature and physicality of light for the purposes of understanding the structure and purpose of material creation. Contemplation of nature allowed early Christian thinkers to conceptualize light as the explanatory principle of vision rather than as subordinated to it. Contrary to the prevalent view, the hexaemeral literature necessitates a ‘luminocentric’ interpretation of the theory of light of the Timaeus in its reception history in the context of late antique cosmology. The hexaemeral luminocentrism invites the reader of Scripture to grasp not only the sensible properties of light but also their causal principle as the first manifestation of the divine logos in creation. The hexaemeral metaphysics of light thus provides the missing ground of meaning of the early Christian language of light.
‘From Sight to Light’
Authors: Katsos Isidoros C. 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
This chapter discusses and confronts the widespread view in the history of optics that the physics of light was born in the seventeenth century with the scientific revolution. It lays out the ‘oculocentric’ epistemic foundations of this view and examines its verifiability through three possible hexaemeral hypotheses: the spiritual vision of noetic beings; the cosmic vision of the universe; and the anthropocentric theory of vision of the Timaeus. The close reading of the sources shows that the hexaemeral optical paradigm is not oculocentric but luminocentric. This textual evidence overturns the oculocentric narrative and necessitates a new enquiry into the nature of light. It is shown that at the heart of hexaemeral luminocentrism lies the anagogical journey of the reader of Scripture from the physics to the metaphysics of light.
Offshore Finance and State Power
Authors: Binder Andrea 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Offshore financial centres such as Luxembourg, the Cayman Islands, or the City of London provide non-residents with a legal framework that is strong on property rights and soft on taxation and regulation. Building on a historical-institutionalist comparison of Britain, Germany, Brazil, and Mexico, Offshore Finance and State Power asks how these offshore financial services affect the power of the state to finance its political goals. It looks into the mechanics—how does it work?—and the outcome of this effect—is it enhancing or limiting state power? Combining a concept analysis with empirical data from descriptive banking statistics and qualitative expert interviews, the book finds that economic actors go offshore to create money more than to hide it. Legal offshore banking trumps tax planning or money laundering in its impact on state power. Offshore Finance and State Power also reveals that the outcome of that impact on state power is not straightforward. Offshore finance limits state power by transmitting the volatility of unregulated offshore banking into the domestic economy. Counterintuitively, however, offshore finance can also enhance state power. It provides governments with an extraterritorial vehicle to cover up political conflicts over how to finance the state and mitigate class conflict. To which extent a state can put offshore finances at its own service, depends on a country’s domestic elite constellation and the tax and bank bargains they have forged throughout history.
Sexed Bodies/(Im)Possible Bodies/Polyphonic Bodies
Authors: Amico Stephen 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
This chapter highlights the importance of attention to musical, sonic, aesthetic, and affective cultural production in the phenomenological theorization of an always complex, multiple subjectivity. Focusing on the digital and live performances of Russian popular music superstar Valeriia—including her appearances in Estonia—and exploring the role of a corporeality that is in part sexed (as opposed to gendered), the chapter reveals that lived experience is a constant interplay between materiality and the productive possibilities suggested by phenomenological “horizons.” It is ultimately argued that foregrounding the sensual and somatic aspects of experience, and the sonic rather than the visual (via the concepts of the “catalytic aide mémoire” and “polyphonic embodiment”), contributes to a more nuanced understanding of multifaceted, capacious human-environment interaction. Such a theorization can encompass the limitless components (including material, geo-/socio-cultural, and ideological) that contribute to the subject’s being and becoming, a process of perpetual formations and re-formations.
The Exegesis of the Latin Bible in the Middle Ages
Authors: Dahan Gilbert 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Abstract: The Middle Ages was a key period for biblical exegesis, through the activities of writers in monasteries, schools, and universities. This chapter lists the sources in which hermeneutic activity is present, including treatises, biblical commentaries, prologues, and principia. The principles of exegesis are then considered, bringing together the concept of the Aristotelian cause with the divine inspiration of Scripture. The limitations of human understanding are emphasized both by Christian and Jewish commentators. Different forms of glossa and the Sentences of Peter Lombard also contributed to exegesis. Despite the traditional emphasis on the four senses of Scripture (literal, allegorical, tropological, and anagogical) and their appearance in theoretical treatises, their practical application is strictly limited. Instead, the principal opposition was between the categories of literal and spiritual, with each broken down into specific elements. Techniques of spiritual interpretation include the procedures of concordant verses, distinctiones, interpretationes, and the significance of “realities” (res), with a role also being played by “modes” (modi).
Musical Settings of Latin Biblical Texts
Authors: Dowling Long Siobhán 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Abstract: This chapter discusses the use of Latin biblical texts in music from Gregorian chant through Renaissance polyphony to the present day. Comprising five sections—Gregorian Chant; Latin Hymns and Sequences; From Tropes to Passions; Motets; and Oratorios and Other Large-Scale Works—it provides a brief overview of the Latin Bible’s reception in music. The development of musical forms is described, along with the attention given to the biblical text. Liturgical usage includes settings of the mass, including the Requiem, as well as canticles, antiphons, and motets. Early hymns were used in theological debates. Despite the move to larger-scale works in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, performed in concert halls rather than churches, the setting of traditional texts associated with the Latin Bible continues to provide continuity across the centuries of Western music.
Latin Tradition and the Greek New Testament
Authors: Elliott J. K. 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Abstract: After some introductory remarks, this chapter considers the most popular hand editions of the Greek New Testament, the twenty-eighth edition of Nestle-Aland and the United Bible Societies’ fifth edition. It then lists Latin manuscripts in two gospel synopses before a retrospective analysis of three bilingual (Latin–Greek) New Testaments. Next come larger critical editions of specific Gospels and the volumes of the Editio Critica Maior for the Catholic Epistles and the Acts of the Apostles. Finally, this chapter examines why Latin manuscripts are found in critical editions of a Greek New Testament and assesses some limitations imposed when using or relying on the Latin found in such editions.
Jerome and the Hebrew Scriptures
Authors: Kamesar Adam 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Abstract: The great bulk of the Latin Bible known as the Vulgate is made up of Jerome’s translations of the books of the Old Testament in its Hebrew form. Isidore of Seville, in his Etymologiae, one of the most influential works of medieval Latin literature, offers a brief statement about those translations, noting two points: Jerome made them from the Hebrew, and he did so in an eloquent fashion (Etym. 6.4.5). This chapter therefore focuses on Jerome’s change of the textual basis of the Latin Old Testament from the Greek to the Hebrew, and his work of translation as a literary endeavor.
The Production of Medieval Bibles
Authors: Lobrichon Guy 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Abstract: This chapter presents the development of the Latin Bible in the West from the eleventh to the fifteenth centuries. Overall, five types of Bibles are found in this period: liturgical Bibles, glossed Bibles, portable Bibles, luxury Bibles, and picture Bibles. Some are in the form of pandects containing the complete text, from the giant “Atlantic Bibles” to the all-in-one Paris Bibles. Their production, contents, and organization are described, including details of the sequence of books and their paratexts (prefaces, prologues, and argumenta). The rise of illustrated Bibles is seen in the two Bibles of Pamplona and the Bible moralisée, as well as certain “parabiblical” books such as the Speculum humanae salvationis and the Biblia pauperum. Consideration is given to the role played by patrons as well as producers and users in developing new styles and formats, and the contexts in which they were used, such as the requirements of the different religious orders and schools.
Modern Scholarship on the Latin Bible
Authors: Bauer Thomas Johann 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Abstract: This chapter presents the development of scholarship on the Latin Bible from the seventeenth to the twentieth centuries. The predominance of the Sixto-Clementine Vulgate meant that early proposals to revise the Vulgate bore little fruit, although Pierre Sabatier published a scholarly edition of the Old Latin text in the middle of the eighteenth century. The development of New Testament textual criticism in the latter part of the nineteenth century led to the discovery of new manuscripts and major critical editions, most notably the Oxford Vulgate for the New Testament and the Roman Vulgate for the Old Testament. The series of publications related to these editions have provided a steady stream of academic research into individual manuscripts and editorial principles and methodology.
The Vetus Latina Institute
Authors: Bauer Thomas Johann 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Abstract: Since 1945, the Vetus Latina Institute at the Archabbey of Beuron has overseen the preparation and publication of a comprehensive edition of the remains of the Old Latin Bible in order to replace the eighteenth-century edition of Pierre Sabatier, with material initially gathered by Josef Denk. This chapter describes the history of the Institute and the principles of the edition as developed by its first director, Bonifatius Fischer. The types of evidence and the layout of each page are introduced. The Institute has also been responsible for numerous publications and has collaborated on other editions, including the Stuttgart Vulgate and editions of the Greek New Testament.
The Use of the Latin Bible in the Early Church
Authors: Mattei Paul 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Abstract: The use of the Bible is more than simply the application of hermeneutic principles and exegetical techniques, or the literary genres within which these are deployed. This chapter offers a broad account of the presence of Scripture within the intellectual and religious life of Latin Christians in antiquity. The chronological scope is from the beginnings of Christian literature in Latin to the time of Bede. This may be divided into three stages: the Antenicene period, with its three major personalities of Tertullian, Cyprian, and Lactantius; the zenith, from Nicaea to Chalcedon, marked by the great Christological and Trinitarian controversies, with individuals such as Hilary of Poitiers, Ambrose of Milan, Jerome of Stridon, and Augustine of Hippo (and especially De doctrina christiana); the inheritance, with teachers such as Cassiodorus, Gregory the Great, Isidore of Seville, and Bede, who lead to the dawn of the Carolingian age. The perspective taken is necessarily selective, focussing on the most important examples.
Travel and Itinerancy
Authors: Marquis Timothy Luckritz 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
This essay explores themes and narrative constructs of travel and itinerancy in the Synoptic traditions, how interpretation of those themes has conditioned reconstructions of Christian origins, and some paths for future research. Beginning with contextualizing travel within a Roman context, the essay dwells on Q scholarship to understand how categories of voluntary and involuntary travel, homeless wandering and official journeys, and ideology and materialism structure scholarly conversations. For Mark, Jesus’s travels overlay periods of eschatological history with a dual focus on the crucifixion and the destruction of the Temple. In Matthew, Mark’s eras of eschatological history become two distinct movements: a homeless discipleship and an international movement cast against the precarity of travel under Rome. Luke-Acts deploys travel as a narrative device and a thematic venue for displaying its logic of exchange, which attempts to outbid the global view of Roman ideology and anticipates later Western abstractions such as universality.
Body
Authors: Moore Stephen D. 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The ancient body has, in recent decades, been reconceived in the fields of classics and early Christian studies. It has been reshaped by gender theory but also by queer theory: performativity, whether explicitly named or not, has become key for work on it. This essay reviews the recent history of the ancient body as well as representative recent studies of Synoptic bodies that analyze them primarily in terms of gender performance. The essay proceeds to ask, first, whether performativity is the only reality that might be imagined for literary bodies, and second, how one might fold into one’s analysis of Synoptic bodies the fact that, like all literary bodies, they are incorporeal entities. The main section of the essay then attempts a theoretical return to first principles, analyzing the Synoptic body through lenses provided by two of the most influential figures in contemporary critical theory, Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari.
Play Cultures, Social Worlds, and Youth in Familial Settings, 1700–1905
Authors: Martin Mary Clare 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Debates on youth culture have frequently focused on rituals of misrule, gangs, the music industry, and other activities and institutions external to the home and family. Yet from 1700 to 1900, many young people developed play cultures within domestic and familial settings. This chapter focuses on outdoor play, imaginative play, and young people’s writing and dramatic performances from 1700 to 1900. While the activities of girls and young women have received far less attention than those of males, recent research reflects a rich social world of activities generated by young people on the threshold of adulthood in all social classes, which was shared with siblings and friends, male as well as female. As mainly self-generated and distinct from adult worlds, these activities are as worthy of the definition “youth culture” as twentieth-century developments that were strongly influenced by adult celebrities, the mass media, and commercial interests. Although this chapter argues that, for all the idealistic visions of play as a youth-generated activity, the intervention of adults was necessary for such play cultures to develop, it casts new light on the definition of “youth culture,” and on the transition to adulthood.
Exploring Queer Theories as a Framework for Anti-Oppressive Music Therapy Practice with Neurodivergent Children and Youth
Authors: Metell Maren , Leza Jessica 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Queer theories, in particular neuroqueer theory, challenge normative and exclusionary approaches and perspectives. This chapter considers how queer theories both interrogate and contribute to music therapy as an anti-oppressive practice in the context of neurodivergent children and youth. It explores multiple perspectives and concepts within queer theories and their affordances for thinking around music therapy theory and practice. These concepts are reflected in our own music therapy practices with neurodivergent children and youth. The implications of these connections are discussed and considered for the development of queer theory-informed anti-oppressive practice. We argue that queer theories challenge music therapists to constantly re-examine assumptions and preconceived notions and to embrace anti-oppressive music therapy as a constantly evolving practice of collaborative learning from and with music therapy participants. Queer theories offer a frame for anti-oppressive music therapy that speaks to the importance of fostering resistance and challenging power and the need and potential for the development of practice and theory.
