Pulling Apart and Piecing Together: Wholeness and Fragmentation in Early Christian Visions of the Afterlife
Authors: Henning Meghan R , Moss Candida R 
Published: July 2023

AbstractAfterlife bodies in Christian thought have been successfully analyzed as expressions of cultural ideals, loci in which justice can be administered, and mirrors of societal structures and hierarchies. As hypothetical and constructive as they are, descriptions of heavenly and hellish bodies reinscribe or subvert norms about the gender, status, and appearance of their earthly counterparts. Building upon earlier work about eschatological bodies and drawing upon ancient bodily discourse about health and wholeness, this article places the heavenly and hellish under a single lens. It argues that early Christian thinking about afterlife spaces reproduced and intensified a broader cultural grammar of bodily wholeness and fragmentation in which the integrity of body and self was precarious but highly prized. The production of these afterlife bodies transformed the wholeness/fragmentation binary into eschatological standards and divine poetics.
Liquid Consumer Security
Authors: Atanasova Aleksandrina , Eckhardt Giana M , Husemann Katharina C 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Systemic risks––pandemics, economic recessions, professional precarity, political volatility, and climate emergencies––increasingly erode previously taken-for-granted stabilities and consumers’ confidence in the future. How do consumers manage risk and uncertainty when economic and ontological security are on the decline? Traditionally, consumers have built a sense of security through solid consumption (e.g., home ownership, accumulating possessions). A four-year ethnography of digital nomadism, however, demonstrates that looming uncertainty can render solid consumption a source of vulnerability and an unwanted anchor in turbulent times that call for agility and adaptability. We outline the emergence of liquid consumer security, defined as a form of felt security that stems from avoidance of solid consumption and its risks and responsibilities. Liquid consumer security inheres in the absence of ownership, attachments, or rootedness, and is derived from circumventing the temporal demands, financial liabilities, and commitments that solid consumption requires, which emerge as sources of risk. It is achieved through a recursive process of engaging in three strategies: (1) solid risk minimization; (2) security reconstruction through the liquid marketplace; and (3) ideological legitimation. Contributions to consumer risk and security, liquid consumption, social theories of risk, and digital nomadism are discussed.
Working Towards Policy: A Theory of Organizational Implementation and Management
Authors: Patty John W 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Much of policy-making involves prioritization—deciding not only what to do but also when—and uncertainty—not knowing exactly how the choices made will affect actual policy outcomes. I present a theory of dynamic prioritization within a hierarchical organization. The model illustrates how notions such as an agency’s performance, mission, and critical tasks are linked with details such as institutional structure and the preferences of both front-line bureaucrats and their overseers. The theory highlights some reasons why even sincere, representative policy-making decisions might appear irrational, inconsistent, or “captured” to outside observers. This is in contrast to classical “spatial models” of policy that abstract from the more quotidian details of how policy is actually made as opposed to simply being “chosen.” The theory also generates traditional comparative static-style predictions about the features of the policy-making tasks, the preferences of bureaucrats and political overseers, and agency structure that affect the substance and quality of policy-making. Finally, the theory offers a general explanation for why real-world agencies employ widely varying processes to organize and implement policy-making: optimal policy-making is—in a precise sense—“sufficiently complicated” to render a succinct and robust summary of optimal management impossible.
One survey fits all? Evaluating the relevance of sexual function measures designed for cis women in trans women postvaginoplasty
Authors: Fraiman Elad , Goldblatt Carly , Loria Matthew , Mishra Kirtishri , Pope Rachel 
Published: July 2023

Abstract

Background
Providers are currently using surveys designed for cisgender women and/or creating their own questionnaires to evaluate the sexual function and satisfaction (SFS) of transgender women postvaginoplasty (TWPV), despite the marked difference in anatomy and lived experience between these groups.

Aim
To evaluate the appropriateness of the current assays that have been validated in cisgender women and to assess their applicability in studying SFS in TWPV.

Methods
Surveys assessing female SFS that were validated in English speakers in North America were compiled and reviewed. Percentages reflect the proportion of surveys that asked questions deemed relevant or irrelevant for TWPV. Assessed variables included questions about endogenous lubrication, pain/discomfort with penetration, and other sexual activity.

Outcomes
Outcomes of interest were questions that fell into 1 of 2 categories: questions irrelevant to TWPV (present/irrelevant) and those relevant for TWPV (present/relevant).

Results
All surveys contained present/irrelevant questions. Endogenous lubrication—a property of the natal vagina that may not be present in the neovagina—was the primary present/irrelevant question and was asked in 69.2% of the surveys. Vaginal pain, a present/relevant question, was assessed in 46.2% of surveys. Furthermore, questions requiring a partnered relationship to answer were asked in 61.5% of surveys, which may detract from the assessment of SFS in individuals who do not have sexual partners. Notably, there was also a lack of questions important for evaluating SFS in TWPV, such as assessing satisfaction of the caliber and depth of the neovagina, erogenous stimulation of the prostate during insertive intercourse, and cosmetic appearance of the vulva.

Clinical Implications
This analysis raises concerns about the clinician’s ability to meaningfully assess SFS in TWPV using the tools available.

Strengths and Limitations
This article is the first of its kind to qualitatively assess the applicability of currently validated SFS questionnaires in TWPV. Limitations include the inability to draw definitive conclusions due to the qualitative nature of the study and the possibility of missing complex biopsychosocial factors, as trans individuals were not directly involved in the assessments of applicability.

Conclusion
Given that the existing surveys are not designed to assess the SFS of TWPV, we call for the development of a validated survey for this population, which is in line with the precedent set by several other questionnaires validated for similarly specific populations.
Hexachordal Solmization and Syllable-Invariant Counterpoint in the Vocal Music of William Byrd
Authors: Long Megan Kaes 
Published: July 2023

AbstractWilliam Byrd was an unusually creative contrapuntist: he is known for his virtuosic double counterpoint, his expressive manipulation of soggetti (imitative subjects), his capacity for exhausting possible contrapuntal combinations in stretto passages, and his points of imitation that build toward an expressive climax (what Joseph Kerman [1981] has described as Byrd’s “cumulative” imitation). This article addresses a cumulative technique that has not previously been identified: syllable-invariant counterpoint. Byrd often develops points of imitation where the soggetto is solmized identically in two hexachords (what sixteenth-century theorists called fuga, in contrast to imitazione). But Byrd frequently builds points toward an extra statement of the soggetto in a new, bonus hexachord; this transposition introduces a new semitone foreign to the work’s local tonality. Byrd thematizes syllable invariance throughout his vocal repertory, particularly in his serious motets. This article shows how Byrd combines syllable-invariant counterpoint with a variety of distinct imitative strategies to achieve specific expressive and tonal goals. The article further considers the implications of syllable invariance for tonal structure in Byrd’s music. Syllable-invariant counterpoint makes visible the constraints and affordances of Byrd’s tonal system, the Guidonian diatonic gamut under hexachordal solmization. Byrd carefully controlled the tonal compass of his works by using syllable invariance, among other strategies, to manipulate his counterpoint’s “chromatic” ambit. Syllable-invariant counterpoint—which Renaissance musicians would have understood as a diatonic, not chromatic, strategy—encompasses Byrd’s contrapuntal, expressive, and tonal compositional techniques.

Abstract

Background
Campylobacter is the most common cause of bacterial diarrhea in the United States; resistance to macrolides and fluoroquinolones limits treatment options. We examined the epidemiology of US Campylobacter infections and changes in resistance over time.

Methods
The Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network receives information on laboratory-confirmed Campylobacter cases from 10 US sites, and the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System receives a subset of isolates from these cases for antimicrobial susceptibility testing. We estimated trends in incidence of Campylobacter infection, adjusting for sex, age, and surveillance changes attributable to culture-independent diagnostic tests. We compared percentages of isolates resistant to erythromycin or ciprofloxacin during 2005–2016 with 2017–2018 and used multivariable logistic regression to examine the association of international travel with resistance.

Results
Adjusted Campylobacter incidence remained stable or decreased for all groups analyzed since 2012. Among 2449 linked records in 2017–2018, the median patient age was 40.2 years (interquartile range, 21.6–57.8 years), 54.8% of patients were male, 17.2% were hospitalized, and 0.2% died. The percentage of resistant infections increased from 24.5% in 2005–2016 to 29.7% in 2017–2018 for ciprofloxacin (P &lt; .001) and from 2.6% to 3.3% for erythromycin (P = .04). Persons with recent international travel had higher odds than nontravelers of having isolates resistant to ciprofloxacin (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] varied from 1.7 to 10.6 by race/ethnicity) and erythromycin (aOR = 1.7; 95% confidence interval, 1.3–2.1).

Conclusions
Campylobacter incidence has remained stable or decreased, whereas resistance to antimicrobials recommended for treatment has increased. Recent international travel increased the risk of resistance.

Abstract
Coinfection with sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and mpox is common. We evaluated concurrent STI testing among Duke Health patients tested for mpox. We found that most patients tested for mpox were not comprehensively tested for STIs, despite concurrent STIs being diagnosed in 15% of patients when testing was performed.
The Role of Religion in Domestic Violence and Abuse in UK Muslim Communities
Authors: Chowdhury Rahmanara 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Existing research on the role of faith in the aftermath of domestic violence and abuse (DVA) often fails to adequately situate the role played by religion throughout the DVA trajectory. This article draws on qualitative research conducted with 10 Muslim female survivors and 9 professionals providing support in DVA cases to investigate the nature, occurrence, and impact of DVA within Muslim religious communities. This article specifically explores the role of religion at four levels; individual psycho-social-spiritual level, the level of additional stakeholders, within the context of intersectionality, and at a macro-societal level. It is argued that religion and practice of faith plays a nuanced role at each of these levels. The research found that holistic approaches to faith resulted in faith manifesting as an empowering resource for DVA survivors. Reductionist and androcentric approaches to faith however resulted in the enabling and continuation of abuse and abusive structures. Findings indicate the need for service provision to provide tailored and culturally informed support to Muslim clients, particularly in relation to faith. The web model of DVA provides a structured framework through which this can be achieved.

Abstract
With the projected increases in shipping activity and hydrocarbon extraction globally, there is an increased risk of negative ecological impacts from oil pollution on the marine environment, including seabirds. Oil Vulnerability Indices (OVIs) are a common approach to assess seabird species vulnerability to oil pollution and to identify where species are most at risk, typically across regional spatial scales and for a relatively limited number of species. This approach generally requires comprehensive data on at-sea distributions and densities; however, for many regions, these data are limited. We present a simplified OVI to assess seabird species vulnerability to oil pollution. To create the spatial component of the OVI, we used a predictive foraging radius approach, using existing colony size and foraging range data, to project at-sea distributions of seabird populations during the breeding season. We demonstrate this approach over a large spatial scale, the eastern North Atlantic, which includes areas where seabird at-sea data are lacking. Our results reveal areas off west Greenland, Iceland, and Norway where seabirds are most vulnerable to oil pollution during the breeding season, largely driven by large colonies of auks (Alcidae). We also identify locations along the coast of mainland Norway, Iceland, and Scotland, where seabirds are particularly at risk to oil pollution associated with major shipping routes. Identifying areas where species are most at risk can help inform where, and which, measures should be put in place to mitigate the impacts of oil pollution, such as protecting and avoiding high risk areas, for example, through adopting dynamic Areas to be Avoided (ATBAs). Our simplified OVI combined with the predictive foraging radius approach can be adapted to other regions globally that lack seabird-at-sea distribution data, to other marine wildlife, and to assess risk from hydrocarbon extraction and other anthropogenic threats, including fishing activities and offshore renewable developments.
Co-evolution of dust grains and protoplanetary disks
Authors: Tsukamoto Yusuke , Machida Masahiro N , Inutsuka Shu-ichiro 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
We propose a new evolutionary process for protoplanetary disks, the co-evolution of dust grains and protoplanetary disks, revealed by dust–gas two-fluid non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics simulations considering the growth of dust grains and associated changes in magnetic resistivity. We found that the dust growth significantly affects disk evolution by changing the coupling between the gas and the magnetic field. Moreover, once the dust grains grow sufficiently large and the adsorption of charged particles on to them becomes negligible, the physical quantities (e.g., density and magnetic field) of the disk are well described by characteristic power laws. In this disk structure, the radial profile of density is steeper and the disk mass is smaller than those of the model ignoring dust growth. We analytically derive these power laws from the basic equations of non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics. The analytical power laws are determined only by observable physical quantities, e.g., central stellar mass and mass accretion rate, and do not include difficult-to-determine parameters, e.g., the viscous parameter α. Therefore, our model is observationally testable and this disk structure is expected to provide a new perspective for future studies on protostar and disk evolution.
Parents’ experiences of their children’s medical journeys with tracheostomies: A Focus Group Study
Authors: Castro-Codesal Maria , Ofosu Daniel Baah , Mack Cheryl , Majaesic Carina , van Manen Michael 
Published: July 2023

Abstract

Objectives
Children living with a tracheostomy have among the most complex medical care needs in Canada. The focus of this study was to gain a contemporary understanding of key aspects of these children’s medical journeys.

Methods
We conducted a qualitative constructivist grounded theory study using semi-structured focus groups with parents whose children are living in the community with a tracheostomy. Parents were recruited from the Stollery Children’s Hospital Tracheostomy Clinic, which serves a geographically wide and diverse population.

Results
Three focus groups were completed, including a total of 12 participants. Key themes leading up to tracheostomy related to contextual understanding, experiences of inclusion, and perceptions of proportionality. Parents discussed the preparedness for how a tracheostomy would affect their child, their own involvement in recovery, and the education needed for their child’s medical care. Navigating hospital units related to inconsistencies in care, accommodations of families’ needs, and confidence in care received. Finally, living in the community was the focus of much of the participants’ discussions including coping with system-related issues, limited homecare and medical support, cost of care, and connections with the broader community of parents of children with complex medical needs. All themes encircled the family’s deeply felt responsibility to care for their child.

Conclusions
From both patient- and family-centered care perspectives, there exist individual and systemic issues related to the care delivery for children with a tracheostomy. It is in particular in the community where there is a severe deficiency of support afforded to these children and their families.

Abstract
Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is a critical cell monolayer forming the blood-retina-barrier (BRB) and a permeable bridge between the choriocapillaris and the retina. RPE is also crucial in maintaining photoreceptor function and for completing the visual cycle. Loss of the RPE is associated with the development of degenerative diseases like age-related macular degeneration (AMD). To treat diseases like AMD, pluripotent stem cell-derived RPE (pRPE) has been recently explored extensively as a regenerative module. pRPE like other ectodermal tissues requires specific lineage differentiation and long-term in vitro culturing for maturation. Therefore, understanding the differentiation process of RPE could be useful for stem cell-based RPE derivation. Developing pRPE-based transplants and delivering them into the subretinal space is another aspect that has garnered interest in the last decade. In this review, we discuss the basic strategies currently employed for stem cell-based RPE derivation, their delivery, and recent clinical studies related to pRPE transplantation in patients. We have also discussed a few limitations with in vitro RPE culture and potential solutions to overcome such problems which can be helpful in developing functional RPE tissue.
Systematics of the genusEuryoryzomysWeksleret al., 2006 (Rodentia: Cricetidae): integrative analysis reveals a new species from north-eastern Brazil
Authors: Percequillo Alexandre Reis , Weksler Marcelo 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe genus Euryoryzomys encompasses six species found across Cis-Andean lowland and montane rainforests in South America. One of the most enigmatic forms of the genus is found in the Brejos de altitude of north-eastern Brazil, where enclaves of dense rainforest in mountain ranges sharply contrast with surrounding semi-arid Caatinga. Here we analyse morphological and molecular data, and demonstrate that these populations are members of a new species, which is described and contrasted with other Euryoryzomys. Phylogenetic analyses based on mitochondrial cytochrome b gene, coupled with morphometrics and comparative anatomy analyses, show that the new species differs from its sister-species, Euryoryzomys lamia from the Cerrado of Central Brazil, and from other forms of the genus, corroborating previous perspectives based on karyological data. The new species of the genus occurs in two distinct areas in the state of Ceará, Serra de Ibiapaba and Serra de Baturité, and one isolated range in Paraíba state. The recovered biogeographic pattern of Brejos de altitude—Cerrado sister-group relationship is novel among studied vertebrates, as most species from Brejos are more closely related to taxa from Amazon and Atlantic Forest. Further taxonomic efforts are necessary to uncover the total diversity within Euryoryzomys, especially for the nominal taxa E. emmonsae, E. macconnelli, and E. nitidus.

Adenomyosis is a benign gynecologic condition that causes endometrial glands and stroma to be found in the myometrium. Although the criterion-standard diagnosis of adenomyosis remains histology after hysterectomy, ultrasound diagnosis has allowed earlier detection, but no standard definition of imaging-based diagnosis exists.
