Towards a Postsecular Shia Rhetoric – the Discursive Strategies of Transnational Online Network of Shia Muslims in India
Authors: Mamalipurath Jasbeer Musthafa 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Much of the scholarly discussions on the nexus between secular worldview and discourse on Islam have depicted a rather homogeneous image of ‘postsecular Islam’ by overlooking the heterogeneity and changing nature of communications on Islam. In most cases, the postsecular rhetoric of minority sects in Islam, such as Shia Islam, is rarely mentioned. This study aims to offer a more empirical and context-oriented understanding of the emerging postsecular turn in the contemporary narratives of Shia Islam due to its encounter with secular ideologies, digital media, and popular culture. To do so, it examines dominant discursive features of a transnational Shia religious network – ‘Who is Hussain’. The analysis focuses on exploring new interpretations and representations of Shi’i messages online. Four main types of narrative features were found: a postsecular contextualization of Shi’i religious events, a secular call for action infused with Shi’i moral motivations, promoting postsecular humanitarian responses, and translating Shi’i religiosity into citizenry engagement. The language deployed by the Facebook page of this network to translate religious ideas denotes a high degree of malleability. This open hermeneutic margin, this study finds, allows the knowledge producers to develop a postsecular narrative of Shi’ism that has the potential to travel beyond the confines of religious boundaries by animating new debates internationally.
Consuming China in Early Modern England and Beyond: A Survey and Reexamination
Authors: Po Ronald C. 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
If we traveled back in time to the first half of the eighteenth century, we might notice that the cargo aboard an East Indiaman was rather diversified. But of these different products from different countries, a sizable number of them were manufactured in and originated from China. Why was China, alone among many other countries, able to secure its place as a world factory at the time? In this paper, I will suggest that we could not possibly understand how tea and porcelain became synonyms for China without tracing their histories back to the early modern world. We would not be able to deepen our understanding of Anglo-Chinese relations without taking into consideration the flow and circulations of goods between the two powers. My purpose here, therefore, is to outline these very connections throughout the early modern era, roughly from the late seventeenth century to the mid-nineteenth century, based on the fascinating studies conducted by pioneering historians in the field over the past few decades. If we follow the life histories of some of the Chinese commodities, can we determine the ways in which those imported items interacted with the European market in general and the British in particular? Other than treating these commodities as marketable goods, are there any other intellectual perspectives available to help us better comprehend their associations with the early modern world?

Background The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate clinical, functional, and anorectal physiology outcomes of the side-to-end vs colonic J-pouch (CJP) anastomosis following anterior resection for rectal cancer. Methods A PRISMA-compliant systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted using multiple electronic databases and clinical trial registers and all studies comparing side-to-end vs CJP anastomosis were included. Peri-operative complications, mortality rate, functional bowel, and anorectal outcomes were evaluated. Results Eight randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and two observational studies with 1125 patients (side-to-end: n = 557; CJP: n = 568) were included. Of the entire functional bowel outcome parameters analyzed, only the sensation of incomplete bowel evacuation was significant in the CJP group at 6 months [OR: 2.07; 95% CI 1.06 - 4.02, P = .03]. Peri- and post-operative clinical parameters were comparable in both groups (total operative time, intra-operative blood loss, anastomotic leak rate, return to theater, anastomotic stricture formation and mortality). Equally, most of the analyzed anorectal physiology parameters (anorectal volume, anal squeeze pressure, maximum anal volume) were not significantly different between the two groups. However, anal resting pressure (mmHg) 2 years post-operatively was noted to be significantly higher in the side-to-end group than that of the CJP configuration [MD: −8.76; 95% CI - 15.91 - 1.61, P = .02]. Discussion Clinical and functional outcomes following CJP surgery and side-to-end coloanal anastomosis are comparable. Neither technique appears to proffer solution to low anterior resection syndrome in the short term but future well-designed; high-quality RCTs with long term follow-up are required.

Introduction This study aims to re-evaluate the GCS threshold for intubation in patients presenting to the ED with a traumatic brain injury to optimize outcomes and provide evidence for future practice management guidelines. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the ACS-TQIP-Participant Use File (PUF) 2015-2019 for adult trauma patients 18 years and older who experienced a blunt traumatic head injury and received computerized tomography. Multivariable regressions were performed to assess associations between outcomes and GCS intubation thresholds of 5, 8, and 10. Results In patients with a GCS ≤5, there were no differences in mortality (GCS ≤5: 26.3% vs GCS >5: 28.3%, adjusted P = .08), complication rates (GCS ≤5: 9.1% vs GCS >5: 10.3%, adjusted P = .91), or ICU length of stay (GCS ≤5: 5.4 vs GCS >5: 4.7, adjusted P = .36) between intubated and non-intubated patients. Intubated patients at GCS thresholds ≤8 (26.2% vs 19.1%, adjusted P < .0001) and ≤10 (25.6% vs 15.8%, adjusted P < .0001) had significantly higher mortality rates than non-intubated patients. Intubation at all GCS thresholds >5 resulted in higher rates of complications, H-LOS, and ICU-LOS when compared to non-intubated patients with the same GCS score. Conclusion A GCS ≤5 was the threshold at which intubation in TBI patients conferred an additional benefit in disposition without worsened outcomes of mortality, H-LOS, or ICU-LOS. Trauma societies and hospital institutions should consider revisiting existing guidelines and protocols concerning the appropriate GCS threshold for safer intubation and better outcomes among these patient population.

Background: Worldwide migration represents a major challenge of the 21st century. Despite the strong association between acculturation and mental health, research findings on underlining mechanisms remain inconsistent. Prior research urges to investigate sample characteristics in a more structured manner. Aims: The purpose of this study was to systematically investigate factors impacting acculturation and depressive symptoms in a large, not exclusively clinical, sample of Vietnamese migrants in Germany. Method: This study investigated, with multiple regressions, factors (age at arrival, gender, education, religiousness, language skills, residence status, economic status, occupational status, migration motivation, duration of stay, and depressive symptoms) impacting the two dimensions of acculturation, dominant society immersion (DSI) and ethnic society immersion (ESI), in a not exclusively clinical sample ( n = 582) of first-generation Vietnamese migrants in Germany. Further, this study examined the relationship between depressive symptoms, DSI and ESI with correlations and acculturation strategies with an ANOVA. Results: Integration (72.5%) was the most common acculturation strategy, followed by separation (26.8%). In contrast, assimilation (0.5%) and marginalization (0.2%) were very rare acculturation strategies. As predictive factors for DSI lower depressive symptoms scores, male gender, higher education, and better German language skills were found significant. For ESI, less German language skills and older age at arrival were found to be significant. Higher ESI and DSI were correlated to lower depressive symptom scores. Compared to the three other acculturation strategies, integration was linked to the lowest depressive symptoms scores. Conclusions: The current study identified crucial factors in the acculturation process, such as depressive symptoms, language skills, education, gender, and age at arrival. Our findings emphasize that immersion into both the dominant and the ethnic culture plays an essential supportive role in the mental health of migrants.

Published: July 2023

We developed, implemented, and evaluated a participatory arts-based storytelling initiative called the Reflection Room project. Our aim was to investigate if visiting a Reflection Room, (1) creates opportunities for disclosing emotions and processing thoughts, (2) increases comfort discussing dying and death, and (3) supports advance care planning (ACP), conversations. In the pilot phase of the Reflection Room project, a Reflection Room was installed in 25 sites across Canada from 2016–2017. Data collection included reflection cards ( n = 463), and surveys completed by visitors upon exiting a room ( n = 271) and 3 months later ( n = 50). Analysis involved theoretically driven coding, inductive content analysis, and descriptive statistics. We found reflections contained both emotional disclosures and reflective processing. Survey data indicated visiting a Reflection Room increased comfort in thinking and talking about dying and death as well as the likelihood of engaging in ACP. In the future, we will explore the extent to which the project fosters social connections and well-being.
The Pedagogy of Gear Touchers: Unearthing Modes of Teaching Within and Through DIY Venues
Authors: Woods Peter J. 
Published: July 2023

Background: Within the body of literature on do-it-yourself (DIY) music scenes, researchers have routinely placed an emphasis on the role of material space in shaping the sociocultural and musical practices of punk music and other related genres. Scholars have also examined the teaching and learning processes of these musical subcultures under the banner of “punk pedagogy” scholarship. However, investigations into the intersection between these two strands of research need to occur because theories of punk pedagogy have largely overlooked the role of physical space within the educative practices of DIY music. Research into the thematically related space of the maker movement amplifies this need, because maker education scholars have repeatedly shown the multiple ways that materials and space shape how individuals learn through DIY production. Research Questions: I use this paper to attend to the following questions: How do DIY music venues shape the pedagogical practices of DIY music scenes? And in what ways do those pedagogies align with the ideological and ethical aims of these communities? By focusing on learning within DIY venues, I consider multiple forms of musical production outside of the context of a specific genre (i.e., punk). This study therefore provides insight into the mechanisms through which individuals learn and how those mechanisms relate to the physical affordances of these spaces. Research Design: To address these questions, I conducted a year-long comparative case study into two intertwined music series centered on noise music (an experimental subgenre within DIY music’s broad umbrella) and located in two separate DIY venues. Although each of the 13 events in this series included both a workshop and a concert, I focus my analysis on the concert portion of the series to explore a common site of interaction within DIY scenes. Through open and iterative qualitative analyses of field notes generated from observations of concerts in the series and interviews with featured artists and audience members, I provide a nuanced understanding of learning within DIY music venues and the role that both material space and technologies play in shaping that process. Conclusions: Drawing on this analysis, I contend that the stageless design of DIY venues provides a physical affordance that allows “gear toucher conversations” to occur. These conversations involve audience members engaging performers in discussions about the music technologies they use mere seconds after they finish performing, thus linking this pedagogical moment to the material attributes of the venue. However, these conversations reinscribe masculine notions of technology and undermine DIY music’s egalitarian politics, a finding that mirrors critical research into maker education. This work therefore calls on both researchers and practitioners to contend with the pedagogies of place and the educative processes that emerge out of situated technologies to further the liberatory praxes that DIY production can produce.
Postpartum psychosis: A proposed treatment algorithm
Authors: Jairaj Chaitra , Seneviratne Gertrude , Bergink Veerle , Sommer Iris E , Dazzan Paola 
Published: July 2023

Background: Postpartum psychosis (PPP) is a psychiatric emergency that generally warrants acute inpatient care. PPP is marked by the sudden onset of affective and psychotic symptoms with a rapid deterioration in mental state. Evidence suggests that PPP is a discrete disorder on the bipolar disorder spectrum with a distinct treatment profile and prognosis. Methods: We conducted a PubMed database search for various terms involving PPP and its treatment and included peer-reviewed articles published in English. Objective: To provide a treatment algorithm for the management of PPP based on available evidence. Results: Pharmacological therapy is the mainstay of PPP management in the acute phase. Evidence points to a combination of antipsychotics and lithium in the acute treatment of PPP. Electroconvulsive therapy can offer a rapid treatment response where required. Lithium appears to have the best evidence for relapse prevention and prophylaxis in PPP. Psychoeducation is essential and psychosocial interventions used in bipolar disorder may be effective in PPP. Conclusion: Early detection and prompt treatment with antipsychotics and lithium, followed by maintenance treatment with lithium, is associated with a favourable prognosis in PPP.

Background/aim: Cannabis use is highly prevalent in adolescents; however, little is known about its effects on adolescent brain function. Method: Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging was used in matched groups of regular cannabis users ( N = 70, 35 adolescents: 16–17 years old, 35 adults: 26–29 years old) and non-regular-using controls ( N = 70, 35 adolescents/35 adults). Pre-registered analyses examined the connectivity of seven major cortical and sub-cortical brain networks (default mode network, executive control network (ECN), salience network, hippocampal network and three striatal networks) using seed-based analysis methods with cross-sectional comparisons between user groups and age groups. Results: The regular cannabis use group (across both age groups), relative to controls, showed localised increases in connectivity only in the ECN analysis. All networks showed localised connectivity differences based on age group, with the adolescents generally showing weaker connectivity than adults, consistent with the developmental effects. Mean connectivity across entire network regions of interest (ROIs) was also significantly decreased in the ECN in adolescents. However, there were no significant interactions found between age group and user group in any of the seed-based or ROI analyses. There were also no associations found between cannabis use frequency and any of the derived connectivity measures. Conclusion: Regular cannabis use is associated with changes in connectivity of the ECN, which may reflect allostatic or compensatory changes in response to regular cannabis intoxication. However, these associations were not significantly different in adolescents compared to adults.
Passive control on deep cavity noise at subsonic speeds by leading-edge grooves
Authors: Lu Weishuang , Zheng Guannan 
Published: July 2023

Control effects of leading-edge grooves on deep cavity noise are investigated numerically. The length-to-depth ratio of the grooves are 0.5, 1, and 4, respectively. The freestream Mach number is equal to 0.16, corresponding to the Re based on the cavity length of 7.7 × 105. The Detached Eddy Simulations (DES) combined with Ffowcs Williams–Hawkings (FW-H) acoustic analogy are adopted to simulate the characteristic information of the flow field and the acoustic field. The analysis results show that all grooves investigated in this paper have a certain noise control effect, and the groove with the most obvious noise reduction effect is the groove with a length-to-depth ratio of 0.5, namely, the deep groove. Narrowband noise generated by the flow-acoustic feedback (100–700 Hz) and the acoustic resonance mechanism (above 300 Hz) and broadband noise caused by the turbulent disturbance in the shear layer of the cavity mouth significantly reduce when the deep groove is used for the noise control. The reason for the noise reduction is that the leading-edge grooves can effectively change the flow characteristics near the mouth of the downstream cavity. When the flow passes the grooves, the groove flow reduces the energy in the fluid, resulting in the significant decrease of flow velocity of the boundary layer of the incoming flow of the cavity. In addition, the use of the deep groove also promotes the vortex concentration position to move towards the bottom of the cavity, pushes the energy in the shear layer of the downstream cavity towards the front-edge as well as the bottom of the cavity, and stabilizes the development of the shear layer near the cavity mouth.

Published: July 2023

Objectives: To explore the effect of health promotion program (HPP) on stress, quality of life, health-promoting lifestyles, and children’s attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms in parents of children with ADHD. Methods: Sixty parents of children with ADHD were equally randomized into the intervention (health promotion program) and control (usual care) groups. Outcomes included parents’ stress, quality of life, health-promoting lifestyles, and children’s ADHD symptoms before, immediately after, and 1, 3, and 6 months after the intervention. The GEE was used to evaluate the effectiveness. Results: The intervention group reported significant improvement in the children’s hyperactivity/impulse and opposition at the 6- and 3-month, respectively. Parental overall stress significantly improved at 3 and 6 months. Parents’ quality of life had significant effects at the immediate, 3-month, and 6-month. Self-actualization behavior for health-promoting lifestyles had significant effects at the immediate follow-up. Conclusion: HPP can promote the mental well-being of parents of children with ADHD.

Background: Globally, neonatal mortality remains a serious catastrophic problem for newborns, particularly in a low-resource setting. There were no neonatal mortality trend studies in the study area. Objective: This study aimed to determine the trends and risk factors of neonatal mortality at the neonatal intensive care unit of Felege Hiwot Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia. Methods: An institution-based retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted among 870 admitted neonates from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2020 in the neonatal intensive care unit by a stratified simple random sampling technique. Data were entered into EpiData and then exported to STATA 14.0 for analysis. A linear regression statistical model was used for trend analysis and binary logistic regression was carried out to identify explanatory variables of neonatal mortality. Results: Overall, neonatal mortality averagely increased by 2.1% per year throughout the 5 consecutive years. In this study, rural residency [adjusted odds ratio (AOR): 1.96, 95% confidence interval (CI): (1.26, 3.06)], birth asphyxia (AOR: 7.73, 95% CI: 4.31, 13.84), congenital deformity (AOR: 3.61, 95% CI: 1.17, 11.18), low birth weight (AOR: 2.13, 95% CI: 1.23, 3.67), respiratory distress syndrome (AOR: 3.32, 95% CI: 1.97, 5.59), Ambu-bag resuscitation (AOR: 0.16, 95% CI: 0.07, 0.38), taking antibiotics (AOR: 0.50, 95% CI: 0.27, 0.90), glucose (AOR: 0.47, 95% CI: 0.30, 0.72), and oxygen (AOR: 0.26, 95% CI: 0.16, 0.41) were associated with neonatal mortality. Conclusions: This 5-year trend analysis revealed an increased trend of NMR, indicating more work is still needed to make progress toward meeting the SDG goal by 2030. Rural residency, birth asphyxia, congenital deformity, low birth weight, respiratory distress syndrome, Ambu-bag resuscitation, taking antibiotics, glucose, and oxygen were associated with neonatal mortality. Therefore, all stakeholders shall give due attention to reducing this timely-increasing trend of neonatal mortality.
