Conclusion: There is an existence of a correlation relationship in some aspects of nutritional behavior and playing centers for basketball players in the western region of the KSA.
The Root of Ephraim among Amalek in the Song of Deborah
Authors: Daniels Quinn 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
In the Song of Deborah’s list of groups that went to war, the phrase “from Ephraim, their root in/among Amalek” (Judg 5:14a) has not been adequately explained. To better understand this line and the odd relationship it seems to recall, I investigate the crucial lexeme “root” שרש (*šrš) in biblical and extrabiblical sources. The analysis reveals that a “root” metaphorically refers to a man’s current or future “patrilineage,” that is, his line of male ancestors and offspring. In the Song of Deborah, the “root” of Ephraim therefore refers to one or many of its high-ranking patrilineal lines. Abdon ben Hillel in Judg 12:13–15 supports this conception, as he is, on the one hand, crucially buried at a location defined by both Ephraim and Amalek and, on the other, is portrayed as a prolific progenitor of male sons. In applying this definition of “root” to the internal logic of the Song of Deborah, I conclude that the fighting force from Ephraim was a body of high-ranking lineage-based leadership that mustered Amalekites (and Benjaminites) to war in the Jezreel valley. Alongside Ephraim’s leader(s), Amalek too fought for the allied “people of YHWH” (Judg 5:13).
Biblical Prophecy in Its Ancient Near Eastern Context: A New Interpretation of Jeremiah 30–33
Authors: Carver Daniel E. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
In a new approach, I interpret biblical prophecy in light of its ancient Near Eastern divinatory context and offer a new perspective on the (non)fulfillment of prophecy. I begin with a description of how divine communication was understood according to Mesopotamian and biblical texts, laying a foundation for comparative analysis. I then apply this approach to the prophecies of restoration in Jeremiah 30–33. I argue that the prophecies in these chapters, originally intended to be fulfilled in the postexilic era, were canceled (except 31:35–37, 33:19–26) and that a new decision or decisions were given to take their place. Nevertheless, these canceled prophecies continue to have great divinatory significance that reveals patterns of how the deity intends to bless and dwell among the people. Ultimately, a close reading of the text in the light of its ancient Near Eastern contexts provides a strong corrective to the ways that these chapters are commonly interpreted.
Application of Intuitionistic Fuzzy Topological Operators in Spatial Objects Modeling
Authors: TARSUSLU Sinem 
Published: June 2023

The concept of topology is widely used in mathematical modeling of spatial objects and in GIS. One such application of fuzzy topological operators, detecting areas affected by Mikania micrantha, was studied by Shi and Liu. The precision of the results was evaluated by applying the intuitionistic fuzzy pre-interior and pre-clouser operators defined by the author to the data included in this study.
With this application example, it has been shown that the newly defined operators give results closer to the real bounds.
José de Cañizares (1676-1750): vida y obra de un libretista entre el Barroco y la Ilustración, Oviedo, IFESXVIII / Ediciones Trea (ACESXVIII, 12), 2023.
Authors: González Ludeña Carlos 
Published: June 2023

José de Cañizares (1676-1750) fue considerado desde el siglo XIX el último representante de un teatro barroco en decadencia. En los últimos cincuenta años se han ido superando esos prejuicios, sin embargo, su trayectoria como libretista y autor de letras para cantar ha quedado en un segundo plano respecto a su faceta de comediógrafo. Por tal motivo, este trabajo tiene como propósito mostrar evidencias sobre su importancia como libretista para la música en el ámbito hispánico de la primera mitad del siglo XVIII. Además, esta investigación aporta nuevos datos sobre su vida.

El Proyecto Educativo Strava busca fomentar la actividad física y el desarrollo de habilidades sociales en estudiantes a través de la monitorización de tareas y retos vinculados a la asignatura de Educación Física. Este estudio investiga la incidencia del proyecto en la motivación del alumnado y los aspectos que contribuyen a su participación en actividades físico-deportivas. Se utilizó un diseño mixto que combinó una fase cuantitativa, utilizando las escalas de Satisfacción de Necesidades Psicológicas en EF (SPE-NE) y del Locus Percibido de Causalidad (PLOC), así como preguntas sobre la intención de práctica y una cualitativa, a través de entrevistas semiestructuradas. Participaron 126 estudiantes (67 chicos y 59 chicas) de 1º ESO y 1º Bachillerato. Los resultados demostraron que la motivación de los estudiantes variaba desde la motivación extrínseca a una motivación cada vez más autodeterminada, y que la relación social se convertía en la necesidad psicológica básica más influyente, especialmente en el alumnado mayor, relacionándose positivamente con la intención de ser físicamente activo. Se concluye que el Proyecto Educativo Strava es una propuesta didáctica útil para la promoción de la actividad física en jóvenes ya que ha conseguido implicarlos en la iniciativa, contribuyendo a que sean personas físicamente más activas.

Published: June 2023

Background: The objective is to assess the ossicular status and statistically evaluate the extent of ossicular destruction intraoperatively in chronic otitis media (COM) patients. Knowledge of pattern of involvement of ossicular chain in COM cases may help us to determine the type of reconstruction needed during surgery. The findings of this study could be exploited to predict preoperatively the probability of having ossicular chain destruction in COM ears and thus patients could therefore be properly consented about these potential issues before surgery.
Methods: Prospective observational study conducted over 2 years in diagnosed patients posted for surgical management and fulfilling the inclusion criteria. Intraoperative status of ossicles was noted for various types of COM and outcome was evaluated.
Results: Out of 92 patients, 59 (64.1%) had mucosal and 33 (35.9%) had squamosal disease. Ossicular chain was eroded in 41 cases (44.6%). 9 out of 59 (15.3%) mucosal cases and 32 out of 33 squamosal cases (97%) reported ossicular erosion. Most frequently involved was long process of incus (44.6%) >stapes (9.8%) >malleus (8.7%). Order of involvement (Austin-Kartush classification) was found as: type A (26.1%)>B (9.8%)>C (8.7%). 67.4% belonged in the group 15-30 years. Male: female ratio=1:1.5.
Conclusions: Degree of ossicular destruction is much greater in squamosal COM, owing to overproduction of cytokines and inflammatory mediators and due to presence of cholesteatoma and/or granulations. The long process of incus was found to be most vulnerable. Malleus was found to be the most resilient among all ossicles.

Published: June 2023

Mouth rinses are topical agents that can be used after adequate mechanical plaque control measures to help one keep the oral cavity clean. Children have less manual dexterity and motivation for adequate brushing or flossing. Hence, mouth rinses can act as an adjunct to mechanical plaque removal methods and help in preventing dental caries, halitosis, mucositis, and gingival/periodontal diseases in children.Mouth rinses can provide effective biofilm control that can do wonders for oral health. From antibiotics to probiotics, various compositions of mouthwashes have been introduced from time immemorial to the 21 century. This review is an overview of the literature search on mouth rinses from 1942 to 2022. The purpose of this review was to compile the history and various types of mouth rinses that can be used in children, many of these are commercially available and some are under clinical trial.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
The reduction of greenhouse gas emissions is a red tag for humanity nowadays, but it can be beneficial through developing engineered systems that valorize CO2 into commodities, thus mimicking nature's wisdom. Purple phototrophic bacteria (PPB) naturally accept CO2 into their metabolism as a primary redox sink system in photo-heterotrophy. Dedicated use of this feature for developing sustainable processes (e.g., through negative-emissions photo-bioelectrosynthesis) requires a deep knowledge of the inherent metabolic mechanisms. This work provides evidence of tuning the PPB metabolic mechanisms upon redox stressing through negative polarization (-0.4 and -0.8 V vs. Ag/AgCl) in photo-bioelectrochemical devices. A mixed PPB-culture upregulates its ability to capture CO2 from organics oxidation through the Calvin-Besson-Bassam cycle and anaplerotic pathways, and the redox imbalance is promoted to polyhydroxyalkanoates production. The ecological relationship of PPB with mutualist bacteria stabilizes the system and opens the door for future development of photo-bioelectrochemical devices focused on CO2 up-cycling.
