The Function of Mazu Belief of the Chinese People in Vietnam
Authors: Chung (段玉钟) Doan Ngoc 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
The Mazu belief is a type of Chinese folk belief that has become a global cultural phenomenon. Before the Second World War, Chinese immigrants built temples for Mazu in many places of Southeast Asia, including Vietnam, especially its Southern part. The region has been commonly known as the place of coexistence and multicultural exchanges between four ethnic groups, namely the Viet (Kinh), Hoa (Chinese), Khmer and Cham. Chinese immigration to Vietnam has a long history. Southern Chinese immigrants and their unique culture started arriving in the region in the late seventeenth century. After immigrating to Vietnam, they maintained various ties with their motherland through cultural practices and belief systems, especially Mazu worship. In Vietnam, they set up various guild halls, temples and chambers of commerce to worship Mazu, forming a dense ethnic social network that has played a significant role within the Vietnamese Chinese community. Using the notions of transnationalism and ethnic identity, and supported by fieldwork, literature research and a more comprehensive general analysis, this study is not only aimed at understanding Mazu belief in Vietnam but also underlines the role played by this belief in the Chinese community in Vietnam.
The Powers and “Popular Religion” in Pompeii and Paul’s Letter to the Romans
Authors: Ryan Scott C. 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Readers of Romans debate how to understand Paul’s language related to sin and death. Are sin and death ontological powers that operate in the human realm? Does Paul use figurative language to describe abstract concepts? Rarely do scholars consider material evidence and popular ideas as sources for addressing such questions. This essay considers archaeological findings from Pompeii as an additional voice in the conversation for understanding life in a first-century Roman context and Paul’s framing of sin and death in Romans. The essay first considers philosophical critiques of popular practices and then turns to material remains to demonstrate that many thought suprahuman forces to be at work in the world. With the Vesuvian evidence in view, understanding sin and death among powers that can influence human life emerges as a plausible interpretation. Paul’s personal language thus resonates with popular beliefs in the Greco-Roman context and reframes them in significant ways.
“For I Am God, Not Man”: Divine Self-Disclosure in the Motive Statements of Hosea
Authors: Thigpen J. Michael 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Commentators have long wrestled with the relationship between the emotional portrayal of YHWH and his decision not to destroy his people in Hosea 11:8–9. The key question in this text is why does YHWH act as he does? What is the basis for his decision? In addition, questions abound with regard to how the reader should understand the emotional portrayal itself. Should it be read as an anthropopathic description, or does it challenge the doctrine of divine impassibility? This study investigates the relationship between YHWH’s emotional portrayal and actions in light of Hosea’s understanding of divine motive. Then the results of the study are applied to questions surrounding divine impassibility.
The Configurations of Repentance in Luke-Acts
Authors: Bruehler Bart B. 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Previous studies of repentance in Luke-Acts have not adequately accounted for the various elements that the narrative repeatedly includes in its presentation of this theme. Drawing on the tools of cognitive science, this essay argues that Luke-Acts displays varying configurations of repentance that consistently include elements from four frames (prophetic, apocalyptic, priestly, and wisdom) into a problem-solution structure. These configurations combine recognizable elements in flexible ways from various frames, resulting in a thematization of repentance across the two volumes that is both ideologically coherent and rhetorically effective. The blending of these elements reveals how Luke connects repentance with forgiveness, baptism, and the Holy Spirit.
A Social-Scientific Re-reading of Ephesians 5:21–33 and the Problem of Patriarchy among the Igbo People of Nigeria
Authors: Uwaegbute Kingsley Ikechukwu 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Eph 5:21–33, taken at face value, may be considered very dangerous to the cause of gender equality because of its supposed teaching on the headship of the husbands in the households, which perpetuate women’s subordination. This study provides a re-reading of Eph 5:21–33 vis-a-vis the problem of patriarchy among the Igbo people of Nigeria. Adopting a social-scientific approach to exegesis with gender socialisation as a theoretical framework, the work contended that Eph 5:21–33 undermines the patriarchal structure of the First-Century Mediterranean world in which it was set by emphasising mutual love and submission between a husband and a wife in the household. This is not meant to be a ‘subjection’ of the wife as some readings of the text suggest. Such a reading of the text challenges the patriarchal structure that exists even among Christian homes in Igboland today, and calls for the edification of the female gender. It also aims to achieve a possible reduction in violence against women in Igboland.
Would Paul Have Written Something Like This? The Justification Clause of Philippians 3:12 and the Last Judgment
Authors: Giffin Ryan Kristopher 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
A reading that has Paul claiming he has not already been justified (οὐχ … ἢ ἤδη δεδικαίωμαι) appears in some important witnesses to the text of Phil 3:12 (e.g., P46, 06, Irenaeus [Latin translation], Ambrosiaster). Known as “the justification clause,” this variant reading is often dismissed as spurious based (in part) on the assumption that Paul would not have written any such thing. In this article the author challenges this assumption. Included is an overview of Paul’s wider theology of justification, an examination of the four texts in the Pauline Letters in which verbal forms of justification terminology appear in the future tense, and a discussion of three additional Pauline texts in which future justification is implied. These analyses clarify that the reading is compatible with Paul’s use of justification language elsewhere and is coherent as a reference to final justification at the last judgment.
Young People, Globalization and Interfaith Advocacy
Authors: Mercier Charles 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
This article aims at understanding how, in a global era, young people have appropriated interreligious advocacy, through the study of the Interfaith Tour (IFT). This program, created in 2012 in France, aims to provide every two years four or five young people of different beliefs (atheist, Christian, Muslim, Jewish) with the opportunity to go a world tour, followed by a tour round France (to share the discoveries made during the trip with the French public). Most of IFT’s objectives overlap those of adult interreligious movements. The program seeks to convince that religious differences do not represent a threat, but a richness, and that they do not prevent people from cooperating for the common good. There are also more specific goals, such as the empowerment of youth, seen as an age group that is too often not well represented in the higher echelons of society and interreligious organizations. The originality of IFT’s advocacy lies in the means used, notably the intensive use of the resources of liberal globalization, even though the young people who participate in IFT have an ambivalent relationship with such liberal globalization.
“Except You Be Born of Water and the Spirit, You Cannot Enter into the Kingdom”
Authors: Wild-Wood Emma 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
The role of rituals as forces for social change in Christian mission history can be over looked particularly where the rituals are adopted from a Protestant church. Through the examination of the performance – setting, characters, script and sounds – of an early Anglican baptism in Toro, Western Uganda, this article illustrates how this ritual was used to enact and affect the values and objectives of a new society in its immediate context and in transnational frame of reference. The article argues for renewed historical attention to rituals as embodiments of change.
Au Pair Religion
Authors: Trolle Astrid Krabbe 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
As a typical example of mobile religious youth, Filipinos travel to Denmark for a two-year stay as au pairs (aged 18–30). During those two years, the au pairs either opt out of religious practice or intensify their relationship to God in new ways. Whichever they choose, migration brings opportunities to grow as individuals and as active advocates of faith. Using descriptive statistics from the Philippines and Denmark, I compare youth generations to show how Filipino youth inhabit religious traditions in different ways than their Danish peers. The macro perspective on age cohorts reveals that theories of generation and youth should be re-drawn to fit the local religious context. In the second section of the article, I analyse semi-structured interviews with au pairs to make clear how global ways of enacting religion comes to the fore through ideas of choice, authenticity, and ambivalence.
Facilitating Academic Engagement with Society: A Bonding Social Capital Approach to Self-Determination
Authors: Sormani Eva , Rossano-Rivero Sue 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
This study examines how academic engagement with society can be facilitated by higher education institution (HEI) managers by studying academics’ needs and their managers’ support for autonomy, competence, and relatedness (i.e., the determinants of self-determination). Interviews were conducted with managers (n=6) and academics (n=16) affiliated with HEIs from the Hochschulallianz für den Mittelstand in Germany. The findings indicate alignment and gaps between managers and academics. First, the need and support for autonomy were present. Second, managers suggested that academics had relevant competencies, but academics indicated they had a lack of such competencies. Third, managers perceived that there was a strong collaboration between academics; however, academics reported that they experience negative peer effects when collaborating with society. Aiming to bridge the gap using a bonding social capital approach, HEI managers are recommended to strengthen academics’ sense of belonging to an HEI and to promote access to capital and competencies that are within the HEI’s internal network.
The Evolution of the Triple Helix Thematic: a Social Networks Analysis
Authors: Schocair Marília Medeiros , Dias Alexandre Aparecido , Galina Simone Vasconcelos Ribeiro , Amaral Marcelo 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
This study presents the evolution of the Triple Helix thematic using social network analysis. Our research covered 1,122 publications from the Web of Science database between 1995 and 2022. To analyze the data, we adopted the CiteSpace software, from which we interpreted the general properties of the co-citation network and the countries’ network. We also explored a set of nodes’ centralities to identify relevant publications and countries. The results showed two trends related to the literature relevance across different innovation systems. The first one is a possible theoretical replacement by authors who publish mainly about relationships between entities in economically developed countries that are leaders in innovation, whose research migrated from the Triple Helix model to the Quadruple Helix model. The second trend relates to the studies’ continuity based on the prior model by authors investigating innovation systems in less advanced technological ecosystems with newborn or young relationships.
Simple differential staining method of paraffin-embedded plant sections with safranin-alcian blue
Authors: Wolberg Shunamit , Haim Mor , Shtein Ilana 
Published: April 2023

Summary
We present here a modified protocol for safranin-alcian blue staining of paraffin-embedded plant samples. After deparaffination, the double staining uses a 2:1 mix of 1% safranin and 1% alcian blue. This method is less expensive than previously published double staining protocols as it does not require absolute ethanol. Moreover, safranin-alcian blue staining creates a range of hues that allows good cell type differentiation, it gives reproducible results for a wide variety of plant tissues and is easy to use. We hope it will be found useful both for research and teaching purposes.
The Whiteboard: Decoupling of ethnic and gender diversity reporting and practice in corporate Australia
Authors: Wright Claire E F , Cortese Corinne , Al-Mamun Abdullah , Ali Searat 
Published: April 2023

Diversity of company leadership is an important governance issue for corporations globally, yet the uneven treatment of diversity priorities remains a major challenge. We explore the extent and change over time of both gender and ethnic diversity in leadership and disclosure for Australia’s largest firms from 2005 to 2021. Using institutional theory, we compare the isomorphisms driving change, and examine the extent to which there is rhetorical decoupling between diversity disclosure and practice. Our analysis reveals a significant improvement in gender diversity over time but very little progress in the ethnic diversity of corporate leaders. We find a connection between diversity reporting and the appointment of female corporate leaders. However, there is a disconnection between public commitment to diversity and the appointment of non-white corporate leaders. A lack of regulation for diversity reporting contributes to this imbalance with different outcomes for gender and ethnic diversity as the result of different institutional isomorphisms. Our findings can inform policymakers and corporations, highlighting the importance of a range of institutional pressures that encourage the disclosure and practice of ethnic diversity in corporate leadership.

GABA Administration Ameliorates the Toxicity of Doxorubicin on CSF and the Brain of Albino Rats
Authors: Abdelsalam Hani M. 
Published: April 2023

Background Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain and is a non-proteinogenic amino acid. Doxorubcin (DOX) or adriamycin is one of the most potent chemotherapy drugs for breast cancer. Purpose This study focused on diminishing the brain injury and neurotoxicity of doxorubicin (DOX) by GABA administration. Methods Rats were randomly divided into four groups (8 rats each), which were the control group, DOX group (3 mg/kg for 4 weeks, then 2 mg/kg for 2 weeks), GABA group (2 mg/kg for 21 days), and DOX + GABA group (treated as the second and third groups). Neurotoxicity and brain injury were assessed by determining CSF biomarkers, serum inflammatory markers, and histopathological evaluation of the cerebral cortex. Results DOX treatment significantly increased the levels of all CSF biomarkers (S100B, IL-1β, ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), spectrin breakdown products (SBDP145), and C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2) and all inflammatory markers (IL-6, TNF-α, and IFN-γ), causing extensive neutrophilic infiltration and great alteration in the cerebral cortex architecture as evidence of neurotoxicity. The oral administration of GABA significantly reduced the levels of all CSF biomarkers and inflammatory markers and restored the normal architecture of the cerebral cortex, with observed ameliorations in neutrophilic infiltration. Conclusion GABA administration can ameliorate neurotoxicity and protect the brain against the negative effects of DOX treatment.
Split Transfer of the Tibialis Anterior Tendon Combined With Calcaneocuboid Fusion vs Split Transfer of the Tibialis Anterior Tendon Alone to Treat Equinovarus Foot Deformity in Children With Cerebral Palsy
Authors: Bacaksız Tayfun , Akan İhsan , Kazimoglu Cemal 
Published: April 2023

Background: The study aimed to compare the outcomes of combined calcaneocuboid arthrodesis and split anterior tibialis tendon transfer (SPLATT) procedure to isolated SPLATT surgery for the treatment of the spastic equinovarus deformity in children with cerebral palsy (CCP). Methods: Forty-one ambulatory CCP with 56 equinovarus feet, with positive flexor withdrawal reflex test results, were studied. The average age was 9.1 ± 3.2 years (range 3-22). Patients were assigned into 2 groups based on the surgical procedures. Patients in group 1 underwent isolated SPLATT surgery, whereas patients in group 2 underwent the SPLATT procedure combined with calcaneocuboid arthrodesis. All feet were followed for at least 12 months after surgery. Patients were evaluated preoperatively and at the most recent follow-up visit. The hindfoot positions were assessed using Chang’s criteria, the functional outcomes were assessed using Kling’s criteria, and the ambulatory levels were assessed using the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS). Results: Patients were followed for an average of 30.4 ± 14 (range 14-84) months. We found no difference between the groups in Chang’s scoring ( P = .550), better clinical outcomes ( P = .034) according to the Kling criteria in SPLATT with calcaneocuboid fusion group, and postoperative GMFCS levels better in the SPLATT with calcaneocuboid fusion group ( P = .025). Conclusion: In this retrospective comparative study to treat children with spastic equinovarus feet, patients who had the SPLATT procedure combined with calcaneocuboid arthrodesis generally resulted in better functional outcomes compared to isolated SPLATT surgery in spastic equinovarus foot. Level of Evidence: Level III, retrospective cohort study.
A Multi-Disciplinary Approach to Managing End-Stage Renal Disease in Anorexia Nervosa: A Case Report
Authors: Khatri Vishnupriya , Bauschka Maryrose , Foley Meghan , Lundberg Cheryl , Mehler Philip 
Published: April 2023

Background: Renal dysfunction and electrolyte abnormalities are common complications of anorexia nervosa (AN), particularly in the binge-eating/purging type (AN-BP). Hypokalemic, or kaliopenic, nephropathy is an established clinical entity and a leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in AN. Here, we present a case which demonstrates the difficulties of managing refeeding and nutrition in a psychiatrically and medically complex patient with severe AN-BP and ESRD most likely secondary to hypokalemic nephropathy. Case Report: A 54-year-old female with AN-BP that has resulted in chronic hypokalemia, with newly diagnosed ESRD on hemodialysis, presented to an eating disorder medical stabilization unit for weight restoration and treatment of the medical complications associated with her severe malnutrition and ESRD. She was admitted with a body mass index (BMI) of 15 kg/m2, serum potassium of 2.8 mmol/L and serum creatinine of 6.91 mg/dL. She had failed to gain weight in the outpatient setting while on hemodialysis. She initially denied having an eating disorder, but ultimately a history of excessive laxative abuse for many years, without primary physician follow up, was revealed. While she did not undergo a renal biopsy to confirm the etiology of her ESRD, given her history of long-standing hypokalemia and lack of other risk factors, her ESRD was presumed to be secondary to hypokalemic nephropathy. She required significant oversight from a multidisciplinary eating disorder treatment team to restore weight while also managing her ESRD. Conclusion: This case report highlights the complexity of managing ESRD in patients with AN who require weight restoration. A multidisciplinary team was vital to ensure this patient’s adherence to treatment. With this case, we hope to raise awareness of the deleterious effect on the kidneys from prolonged hypokalemia, the elevated risk of poor renal outcomes in patients with AN-BP, and the danger of easy accessibility to over-the-counter stimulant laxatives.
SH3BP1 Regulates Melanoma Progression Through Race1/Wace2 Signaling Pathway
Authors: Sun Ting , Tong Wenxian , Pu Jie , Yu Zhiguo , Kang Zhengchun 
Published: April 2023

Background: SH3-domain binding protein-1 (SH3BP1), which specifically inactivates Rac1 and its target protein Wave2, has been shown to be an important regulator of cancer metastasis. However, the effects of SH3BP1 in melanoma progression remain unclear. The current study aimed to explore the function of SH3BP1 in melanoma and its possible molecular mechanism. Methods: TCGA database was used to analyze the expression of SH3BP1 in melanoma. Then, reverse transcription–quantitative polymerase chain reaction was performed to detect the expression of SH3BP1 in melanoma tissues and cells. Next, genes related to SH3BP1 were analyzed by LinkedOmics database, and protein interactions were analyzed by STRING database. These genes were further subjected to Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis. In addition, the signaling pathway of SH3BP1 action was screened by bioinformatics analysis. Finally, the function of SH3BP1 and its mediated signaling pathway in melanoma progression were investigated in vitro and in vivo. Results: SH3BP1 was significantly upregulated in melanoma tissues and cells. The pathways regulated by SH3BP1 are closely related to the occurrence and development of tumors. And we found that overexpression of SH3BP1 promoted the proliferation, migration, and invasion of melanoma cells by increasing Rac1 activity and Wave2 protein levels in vitro. Similarly, overexpression of SH3BP1 facilitated melanoma progression by upregulating Wave2 protein expression in vivo. Conclusion: In summary, this study revealed for the first time that SH3BP1 promoted melanoma progression through Rac1/Wave2 signaling pathway, providing a new therapeutic target for melanoma.

Published: April 2023

We report the treatment of a young patient with Loeys-Dietz syndrome and previous type A aortic dissection repair and extensive thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm using an aberrant right subclavian as inflow for debranching of the aortic arch. Clinical Impact Large thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms due to chronic aortic dissection in patients with connective tissue disorders such as Loeys-Dietz syndrome present a challenging scenario, particularly in cases of variant anatomy and when patients are not candidates for conventional open repair. We demonstrate how by combining and modifying off-the-shelf devices during a hybrid procedure, one can create an endovascular solution tailored to the patient’s complex anatomy, making use of an aberrant right subclavian artery, and allow for good clinical outcomes
