The Solitudes of Robert Southwell
Authors: Gross Karen Elizabeth 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
A hitherto unidentified early modern inscription in an illuminated Anglo-Norman Apocalypse manuscript owned by the Wormsley Estate (Buckinghamshire) is here demonstrated to be a stanza from “Content and Rich,” a moralizing lyric written by the Jesuit priest and martyr Robert Southwell (ca. 1561–95). In three parts, this essay explores the nature of solitude as prompted by this happy placement of Southwell’s lines praising conscience within a medieval French metrical translation of the Book of Revelation. The first part considers how the medieval manuscript glosses the Renaissance poem, proposing that the eschatological setting changes the seemingly anodyne “Content and Rich” into a charged justification for the controversial defense strategy known as equivocation. The second part, inspired by the Wormsley manuscript’s evidence of early modern engagement with medieval books, investigates Southwell’s reading of Bernard of Clairvaux (1090–1153) while awaiting execution. The final section reverses the relationship outlined in the first, using the early modern annotation to explicate the medieval Apocalypse manuscript. Southwell’s verses celebrating inner tranquility challenge readers to imagine if there may be such a condition as eschatological solitude. All three of these meditations on finding Southwell in the Apocalypse underscore the profound paradox that contented solitude is not solitary.
Miss Havisham and Me
Authors: Hollywood Amy 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Against the background of the pandemic lockdowns of 2020, this essay returns to Charles Dickens and Great Expectations, especially his infamous recluse Miss Havisham, and asks what relationship we might discover between Miss Havisham’s solitude, that of many medieval holy women, and the author’s own. Reading the novel as largely to do with class and money, patriarchal capitalism, and the affective ruptures generated by social, economic, and cultural mobility, the Middle Ages seem far from its concerns. Yet solitude, loneliness, and death haunt the texts by and about all of these women (characters). The essay argues for an affective history, as what drew the author to Miss Havisham was her own complex emotional response to solitude, to reading, and to particular texts from the Middle Ages, in this case Mechthild of Magdeburg’s The Flowing Light of the Godhead. Are we ever really alone if God visits us—or if we have a good book?
Fixing Solitude
Authors: Keller Patty 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Written in three “acts” with a brief philosophical interlude, this essay offers a meditation on the crucial but all-too-often overlooked distinction between solitude and loneliness. Act 1 considers the relationship between solitude and taboo, taking up representations of solitude and the social forces behind its violent rejection in classic Hollywood melodrama. Act 2 turns to the embrace of solitude as essential to the work of philosophy, with particular attention to the writings of Maurice Blanchot, for whom solitude is a way of becoming both “someone else” and at the same time more fully in tune with oneself. The interlude introduces a brief parenthesis, intended less as a provocation and more as a clarifying interruption to distinguish between lonely and solitary modes of living. Finally, Act 3 wanders into the realm of poetics and aims to think about the strange, paradoxical relationship between collaboration and solitude; the creative, collective world-making potential of solitude.
Theaters of Solitary Selves
Authors: Salih Sarah 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThe psychomachic model of the self as an unstable coalition of miscellaneous entities enables both detailed psychological analysis and intersubjectivity. It is a scalable form that may map an individual, a household, a city, or the world, thus permitting mutual indwelling. It is an implicitly dramatic form: a devotional text such as Sawles Warde has the potential to become a closet drama if read aloud, and it is possible that such devotional texts influenced the otherwise obscure early history of the psychomachic morality play. Psychomachic drama such as The Castle of Perseverance replicated the structure of anchoritic enclosure, inviting its audience to participate in its staging of an expanded self. The fifteenth-century poets John Lydgate and Thomas Hoccleve use the psychomachic form for self-analysis. Lydgate’s autobiographical Testament replicates the form of his mummings to account and repent for his past. Hoccleve, however, finds that self-analysis only produces further instability and that he needs social engagement with others in order to recover his self.
On Work and Disaster
Authors: Remes Jacob A. C. 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic and the economic and social disruption that it precipitated have brought increased attention to the intersections of disaster studies and labor and working-class history. This historiographical essay lays out four places where disaster intersects with work: first, all disasters are workplace disasters for somebody; second, disasters create labor; third, disasters can reveal what always existed about labor, class relations, and working-class life; and fourth, disasters can remake living and working conditions by providing new grounds to contest them.
The Black Death and Consequences for Labor
Authors: Cohn Samuel 
Published: May 2023

AbstractFrom the perspective of the Black Death, the economic consequences for laborers in our unfolding pandemic, COVID-19, might come as a surprise. Instead of labor shortages benefiting workers, especially the unskilled, and narrowing the gap between rich and poor, our pandemic has sent economic inequality racing forward across the world with laborers’ health and material well-being plummeting. However, a closer examination of the Black Death suggests that the consequences for labor of the two pandemics may not be as different as first assumed. This essay explores the silver lining for labor after the dramatic crash in population caused by the Black Death and subsequent waves of plague during the second half of the fourteenth century. By first turning to Europe as a whole and then concentrating on Italy, this essay challenges notions that labor conditions and standards of living improved immediately after the Black Death's halving of populations and that these changes were almost universal across Europe or even within city-states, such as Florence, or in rural areas hosting different sorts of agricultural workers. In Italy, where real wages have been calculated, the Black Death's silver lining for laborers failed to arrive until two or three generations after 1348. Moreover, compressing economic inequality from the late fourteenth to the late fifteenth centuries spurred reactions from elites that wrought new inequalities in other spheres of activity.
Specific contact-dependent cell-to-cell communication during preconjugant interaction of the ciliate Euplotes crassus
Authors: Luporini Pierangelo , Bracchi Paolo , Esposito Fulvio 
Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT
A system has been developed to study cellular interactions between cells of complementary mating types prior to mating in the ciliate, Euplotes crassus. The presumptive mates were distinguished by using singlet and doublet cells of appropriate mating types in the mixtures. Cells of a given mating type were prelabelled with [3H] leucine and mixed with unlabelled complementary cells. Exchange of [3H]leucine-labelled material from donor to recipient cells was monitored through the various stages of the preconjugant interaction. A label transfer between the mating type complementary cells was detected from the beginning of the visible mating reaction, which occurs after a waiting period from the time of cell mixing and involves ciliary agglutination prior to cell body fusion. Complementary cells which were prevented from physically contacting each other and cells which were not competent to mate appeared unable to take up the labelled material. It is suggested that this material consists of some sub-stance(s) playing an important role in the preconjugant cell-to-cell interactions of E. crassus.
Isolation of a residual protein structure from nuclei of the myxomycete Physarum polycephalum
Authors: Mitchelson K. R. , Bekers A. G. M. , Wanka F. 
Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT
A nuclear framework structure has been obtained from isolated interphase nuclei of Physarum polycephalum by extraction with 2·5 M NaCl and subsequent digestion with DNase. Wholemount electron micrographs showed a nuclear lamina containing residual pore structures associated with the fibrous internal matrix. The matrix was continuous with fibrillar remnants of the nucleolus. The structure was shown to consist of 2 major polypeptides of 23000 and 36 500 Daltons as well as 30 to 40 minor polypeptides of various molecular weight classes. The 2 major polypeptides were also prominent in preparations of the residual nucleolar material, suggesting that matrix proteins are common to both structures. The predominance of low-molecular-weight polypeptides in Physarum nuclear matrix suggests that there may be significant differences in composition of nuclear structural proteins between lower and higher eukaryotes.

Authors: Zuniga Gonzalez C. A. , Jaramillo-Villanueva J. L. 
Published: May 2023

Background: This work was focused on measuring environmental inefficiency in Mexican dairy farms, considering climate change variables related to the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) and planetary geomagnetic activity. Methods: The applied methodology measures the eco-efficiency of Mexican dairy farms using the empirical application of a stochastic frontier model of the bioeconomy. The productive sector of the bioeconomy studied was the eco-intensification of the livestock production system (dairies). The environmental inefficiency effect was assumed to be a distribution-independent truncation of a normal distribution with constant variance, while the mean was a linear environmental function of the observable variable. Results: The results showed that the coefficients of the frontier model were highly significant, highlighting the investment in livestock (50%). The inefficiency model had an impact on climate variation with greenhouse gas emissions CH4 (1.96%). The results of the environmental technical efficiency in geometric average were 81.28%. The producers that reached the border with a technical efficiency equal to 1 are the references for the rest, marking the relative technical efficiency. Conclusions: It was concluded that the coefficients in the model were very significant, showing the level of investment in livestock (50%). The low-performance model estimates the impact of climate change on GHG emissions CH4 (1.96%) explaining the trend of increasing GHG emissions, keeping in view that the management of food and cattle during the study period were affected by summer feeding, which allowed considering the activity of GHG emissions. According to the results, the geometric mean environmental performance of engineering is 81.28%.
Suicide prevention program (SPP) in South Asian Countries: A protocol for systematic review
Authors: Borah Kallabi , Jose Tessy Treesa , Mysore Nagaraj Anil Kumar , Moxham Lorna 
Published: May 2023

Introduction: Every year, over 700,000 individuals lose their life by suicide and many individuals attempt suicide. Suicide occurs in all age groups and is the fourth major cause of death among 15–29-year-olds globally in 2019. A suicide prevention program (SPP) is a capacity-building program that helps gatekeepers to identify the risk of suicide. The objective of the review is to determine the effectiveness of SPP on the improvement of knowledge, attitude, and gatekeeper behaviour among gatekeepers in South Asian countries so that the number of suicide cases will be reduced among college students in South Asia countries. Methods: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) will be followed in this review. This review will include all interventional studies (controlled and uncontrolled) that provided a suicide prevention program to the gatekeepers as an intervention. The full-text articles will be included from the following databases, Scopus, PubMed (MEDLINE), Cochrane, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and CINAHL, published in peer-reviewed, and indexed journals from the date of inception to 2022. A grey literature search and hand-search of reference lists of the included studies will also be done. A search strategy will be developed using keywords and MeSH terms for each database. Cochrane ROB-2 tool, JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist will be used to evaluate the quality of individual studies. Analysis of the data will be done using narrative synthesis. Conclusions: This review will provide information on knowledge, attitude, and gatekeeper behaviour toward suicide prevention in college students and will be helpful for the prevention of suicide. Therefore, the authors plan to publish the review outcome through a peer-reviewed journal. Registration : The review is registered in PROSPERO (CRD42023387020).
Understanding how they really feel: Lesson learned from four approaches to soliciting user preferences for new contraceptive products in development
Authors: Brunie Aurélie , Callahan Rebecca 
Published: May 2023

Background: An expanded range of contraceptive methods could reduce unintended pregnancies. User preferences research is important for successful development of products people want to us. This paper describes four approaches to preferences research soliciting user input in different ways: 1) perspectives on contraceptive method characteristics, 2) reactions to products in development, 3) trade-offs between contraceptive method characteristics, and 4) “blue-sky” ideas on novel contraceptive technologies. Methods: We conducted two mixed-method studies: one implemented in Burkina Faso and Uganda combining three of these approaches, and the other implemented in India and Nigeria using two approaches. We share observations on the strengths and weaknesses of each approach and draw on our experience to highlight lessons learned for future user preferences studies. Results: Each approach contributes to product development in different ways, and the usefulness of each methodology depends on the product development stage and corresponding informational needs. Conclusions: Recommendations for future research include combining different methods, angles, and perspectives; using sequential designs whenever possible; tailoring product descriptions to user understanding for optimal feedback; and acknowledging the value and limitations of both quantitative results for modeling demand and idiosyncratic ideas to inspire development of new products.

Background: Biogeochemical-Argo floats are collecting an unprecedented number of profiles of optical backscattering measurements in the global ocean. Backscattering (BBP) data are crucial to understanding ocean particle dynamics and the biological carbon pump. Yet, so far, no procedures have been agreed upon to quality control BBP data in real time. Methods: Here, we present a new suite of real-time quality-control tests and apply them to the current global BBP Argo dataset. The tests were developed by expert BBP users and Argo data managers and have been implemented on a snapshot of the entire Argo dataset. Results: The new tests are able to automatically flag most of the “bad” BBP profiles from the raw dataset. Conclusions: The proposed tests have been approved by the Biogeochemical-Argo Data Management Team and will be implemented by the Argo Data Assembly Centres to deliver real-time quality-controlled profiles of optical backscattering. Provided they reach a pressure of about 1000 dbar, these tests could also be applied to BBP profiles collected by other platforms.
Temperature influence on optical fiber and temperature compensation method for a frequency modulation continuous wave absolute distance measurement system
Authors: Hu Shengpan , Xu Xinke , Wen He 
Published: May 2023

A temperature compensation method is proposed to solve the ranging precision decrease problem of the frequency-modulated continuous wave distance measurement system. The set of phases spread frequency sampling method is used to correct the beat frequency signal non-linearity. The influence model of temperature on the optical fiber auxiliary interferometer is studied. The experimental results show that distance measurement error decreases from 0.3432 mm to 0.02260 mm, and the mean measurement standard deviation decreases from 0.1088 mm to 0.01733 mm on a maximum measurement range of 1.6 m after compensation.

Published: May 2023

Background
Globally, neonatal sepsis is the leading cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity, particularly in developing countries. Despite studies that revealed the prevalence of neonatal sepsis in developing countries, the outcome of the diseases, barriers for poor outcomes were inconclusive. The aim of this study was to assess the treatment outcome of neonatal sepsis and its associated factors among neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care unit in public hospitals, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2021.

Methods
A cross-sectional study was carried out from February 15 to May 10, 2021 on 308 neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care units of Addis Ababa city public hospitals. Hospitals and study participants were selected by lottery and systematic random sampling techniques, respectively. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews with a structured, pretested questionnaire and by reviewing both the maternal and newborn profile cards. Epi-data version 4.6 was used to enter the collected data, which was then exported to SPSS version 26 for analysis. The 95% CI odds ratio is used to determine the direction and strength of the association between the dependent and independent variables.

Results
Among the total study 308 neonates, 75(24.4%) were died. Regarding the poor treatment outcome of neonatal sepsis, neonates whose mothers <37 weeks of gestational age (AOR = 4.87, 95% CI: 1.23–19.22), Grunting (AOR 6.94: 1.48–32.54), Meconium amniotic stained (AOR = 3.03, 95% CI: 1.02–9.01), Duration of rupture of membrane >18hours (AOR = 3.66, 95% CI: (1.20–11.15), Hypertensive PIH/ Eclampsia (AOR = 3.54, 95% CI: 1.24–10.09), Meropenum (AOR = 4.16, 95% CI: 1.22–14.21) and CRP positive result (AOR = 5.87, 95% CI: 1.53–22.56) were significantly associated with poor treatment outcome of neonatal sepsis.

Conclusion and recommendation
The treatment outcomes of neonates were 75.6% recovered and 24.4% died. In this setting, empirical treatment was the cornerstone for managing neonatal sepsis. Professionals who are working in labor and delivery ward screened for mothers preeclampsia and duration of rupture of membrane >18hrs /PROM/ treated with antihypertensive drug and antibiotics for the prevention of neonatal sepsis.

replenishment policy, and demands search from the orbit was studied. When the lead time is exponentially distributed (resp. lead time is generally distributed), generalized stochastic Petri net (GSPN) (resp. Markov regenerative stochastic Petri net [MRSPN]) is proposed for this inventory system. The quantitative analysis of this stochastic Petri net model was obtained by continuous time Markov chain for the GSPN model (resp. the supplementary variable method for the MRSPN model). The probability distributions are obtained, witch allowed us to compute performance measures and the expected cost rate of the studied system.
The specific and the ambiguous: what can we say of royal ideology of bronze coin types of the earliest Seleucid kings?
Authors: Shearer Jenny Parr 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
This article argues that the bronze coin types of the earliest Seleucid kings clearly illustrate the royal ideology of Seleucus I and his co-rulership with Antiochus I. This article considers the audience and meaning of the bronzes, as well as their minting patterns. After a discussion of the obverse and reverse types, this article focuses on two images: that of the bull and the anchor. The bull being both highly produced, and open to interpretation, and the anchor being a symbol more personal and specific to Seleucus I. This article then goes on to put forward that the bull/anchor types produced at Aï Khanoum/Bactra were a deliberate link on the part of Antiochus to the types produced by Seleucus I to create an imperial image.
Citizenship for sale?
Authors: Dmitriev Sviatoslav 
Published: May 2023

AbstractReexamining inscriptional and literary sources on grants ofpoliteiaby ancient Greek cities in exchange for money allows us to rethink the commonly accepted interpretation of these grants as the sale of citizenship. This article argues that such grants actually reciprocated benefactions that involved a financial expenditure in the interests of the city. These grants could be interpreted as a sale ofpoliteia, similar to today’s grants of citizenship offered by many countries in return for investments. However, like these modern gifts of citizenship, the grants in ancient Greece reflected a basic norm thatpoliteiacould only be conferred on benefactors.
