Клініко-анамнестичні та гендерно-вікові особливості доброякісних новоутворень великих слинних залоз
Authors: Бродецький І. С. 
Published: December 2022

Резюме. Новоутворення слинних залоз складають від 3–6 % усіх пухлин людини. Серед доброякісних новоутворень слинних залоз (ДНСЗ) – найбільш поширеними є плеоморфні аденоми (ПА), аденолімфоми, ретенційні кісти. Вони відрізняються за своїми клінічними особливостями. Вікова та статева приналежність, переважання певних анамнестичних показників має відмінності залежно від виду новоутворення, що зумовлює актуальність цього дослідження.
Мета дослідження – виявити нові клінічні, гендерно-вікові та анамнестичні особливості доброякісних новоутворень слинних залоз.
Матеріали і методи. Матеріалом дослідження були 67 хворих на ДНСЗ, з них – по 30 пацієнтів із ПА та аденолімфомами, 7осіб із ретенційними кістами. Усі хворі пройшли загальноклінічні обстеження (розподіл за віком, статтю, опис місцевого статусу, визначення анамнезу).
Результати досліджень та їх обговорення. Результати проведених досліджень хворих на ДНСЗ показали, що середній вік пацієнтів із аденолімфомами та ретенційними кістами складав (58,06±11,31) і (57,57±7,32) року відповідно, ПА – 39,58±15,39. ПА та ретенційні кісти домінували серед жінок – 21 (70 %) і 5 (71,42 %) відповідно, аденолімфоми у чоловіків – 21 (70 %).
Висновки. Гендерно-вікова приналежність ДНСЗ відрізняється залежно від виду новоутворення. Анамнестичні особливості (перенесені оперативні втручання та супутні захворювання) були притаманні для усіх трьох груп хворих на ДНСЗ. Нових клінічних особливостей ДНСЗ не було виявлено.
Preoperative Factors Predict Memory Decline After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting or Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in an Epidemiological Cohort of Older Adults
Authors: Tang Angelina B. , Diaz‐Ramirez L. Grisell , Smith Alexander K. , Lee Sei J. , Whitlock Elizabeth L. 
Published: December 2022

Background
Durable memory decline may occur in older adults after surgical (coronary artery bypass grafting [CABG]) or nonsurgical (percutaneous coronary intervention) coronary revascularization. However, it is unknown whether individual memory risk can be predicted. We reanalyzed an epidemiological cohort of older adults to predict memory decline at ≈1 year after revascularization.

Methods and Results
We studied Health and Retirement Study participants who underwent CABG or percutaneous coronary intervention at age ≥65 years between 1998 and 2015 and participated in ≥1 biennial postprocedure assessment. Using a memory score based on direct and proxy cognitive tests, we identified participants whose actual postprocedure memory score was 1–2 (“mild”) or >2 (“major”) SDs below expected postprocedure performance. We modeled probability of memory decline using logistic regression on preoperatively known factors and evaluated model discrimination and calibration. A total of 1390 participants (551 CABG, 839 percutaneous coronary intervention) underwent CABG/percutaneous coronary intervention at 75±6 years old; 40% were women. The cohort was 83% non‐Hispanic White, 8.4% non‐Hispanic Black, 6.4% Hispanic ethnicity, and 1.7% from other groups masked by the HRS (Health and Retirement Study) to preserve participant confidentiality. At a median of 1.1 (interquartile range, 0.6–1.6) years after procedure, 267 (19%) had mild memory decline and 88 (6.3%) had major memory decline. Factors predicting memory decline included older age, frailty, and off‐pump CABG; obesity was protective. The optimism‐corrected area under the receiver operator characteristic curve was 0.73 (95% CI, 0.71–0.77). A cutoff of 50% probability of memory decline identified 14% of the cohort as high risk, and was 94% specific and 30% sensitive for late memory decline.

Conclusions
Preoperative factors can be used to predict late memory decline after coronary revascularization in an epidemiological cohort with high specificity.
Treatment and Implications of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Inhibitor‐Induced Blood Pressure Rise: A Clinical Cohort Study
Authors: van Dorst Daan C. H. , Kabadayi Sumeyye , Oomen‐de Hoop Esther , Danser A.H. Jan , Mathijssen Ron H. J. , Versmissen Jorie 
Published: December 2022

Background
Anti‐cancer vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors (VEGFI) frequently induce a rise in blood pressure (BP). The most effective treatment of this BP rise is currently unknown, and risk factors and its association with survival remain inconclusive.

Methods and Results

Baseline characteristics and BP readings were retrospectively collected from oncology patients who received oral VEGFI treatment (sorafenib, sunitinib, pazopanib, regorafenib, lenvatinib, or cabozantinib). Risk factors for a clinically relevant BP rise (increase of ≥20 mm Hg in systolic BP or ≥10 mm Hg in diastolic BP) were investigated via logistic regression (relative), efficacy of antihypertensives via unpaired t‐tests, and association of BP rise with survival via Cox regression analysis. In total, 162 (47%) of 343 included patients developed a clinically relevant BP rise ≥7 days after VEGFI treatment initiation. Both calcium channel blockers and renin‐angiotensin system inhibitors effectively reduced systolic BP (−24.1 and −18.2 mm Hg, respectively) and diastolic BP (−12.0 and −11.0 mm Hg, respectively). Pazopanib therapy (odds ratio, 2.71 [95% CI, 1.35–5.42;
P
=0.005], compared with sorafenib) and estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min per 1.73 m
2
(OR, 1.75 [95% CI, 0.99–3.18,
P
=0.054]) were risk factors for a BP rise, whereas a baseline BP ≥140/90 mm Hg associated with a lower risk (OR, 0.39 [95% CI, 0.25–0.62,
P
<0.001]). Only for renal cell carcinoma, BP rise was associated with a substantially improved median overall survival compared with no BP rise: 45.4 versus 20.3 months, respectively,
P
=0.003.

Conclusions
The type of VEGFI, baseline BP, and baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate determine the VEGFI‐induced BP rise. Both calcium channel blockers and renin‐angiotensin system inhibitors are effective antihypertensive treatments. Particularly in patients with renal cell carcinoma, a BP rise is associated with improved overall survival.
Garbage Politics
Authors: Adama Onyanta 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The article provides insights into how a Private Sector Partnership (PSP) between government and local firms in Lagos, Nigeria, became enmeshed in local politics. Drawing largely on primary data, it reports that aided by a discourse which positioned the PSP as the embodiment of local interests, the partnership was deployed by politicians to generate political capital. Furthermore, Mega Infrastructure Projects (MIP s) paved the way for the government to intervene in the partnership. The hiring of a foreign firm by the government was seen by local firms as an attempt to marginalise them and by politicians as a challenge to entrenched local powers. Local firms fought back by creating strategic alliances and networks with politicians. Hence, the PSP was turned into a site of resistance politics. Ultimately, the saga led to the unravelling of the partnership. At the broadest level, the article highlights how globally circulating neoliberal urban visions are grounded within specific cities.
The Effect of Financial Inclusion on Credit Risk in SADC Countries
Authors: Jungo João , Madaleno Mara , Botelho Anabela 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The objective of this study is to contribute to the knowledge about the relationship between financial inclusion and credit risk in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries, which remains relatively unexplored in the developing countries context. The result of panel vector autoregressive models (PVAR) estimation shows that there is no bidirectional causality between financial inclusion and credit risk, but there is unidirectional causality where financial inclusion improves credit risk. Furthermore, the feasible generalised (FGLS) estimation result confirms that financial inclusion reduces credit risk. Policymakers in SADC countries should implement measures that foster financial inclusion to achieve financial stability.
Ekphrasis and the Mind’s Ear
Authors: Hines Caitlin 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The ekphrasis of Herakles’ shield in Pseudo-Hesiod’s Aspis comprises an immersive experiment in the poetics of sound. As complement to the standard modes of visualization that are crucial to effective ekphrasis, this poem’s rich soundscape invites the audience to ‘auralize’ the sounds described by the internal observer. From the monstrous noises emitted from the shield’s iconographic world to the overdetermined correspondence of sonic features within and between narrative levels, the acoustic techniques of this poem actively destabilize traditional archaic modes of constructing and shattering ekphrastic illusion. As sound effects undermine the notion that materiality must serve as an index of iconographic fixity, and as lexical and semantic recursions echo across representational planes, the poem’s unruly acoustics ultimately problematize the relationship between the world of the shield and the world of its wielder.
Vocal complexity in Antillean manatees (Trichechus manatus manatus)
Authors: Umeed Rebecca , Lucchini Karen , Santos Paulo J.P. , Attademo Fernanda , Luna Fabia , Normande Iran , Bezerra Bruna 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Vocal complexity can be expressed through variations in repertoire size, structure, and individual manatee repertoires. Here we aimed to assess the complexity of the vocal behaviour of Antillean manatees living in captivity (i.e., artificial pools) and in reintroduction enclosures (i.e., natural enclosures placed in an estuarine area). Specifically, we evaluated: (i) the structure of vocalisations to assess whether they had variants; (ii) the variation in call production (rate and pattern) between groups with different configurations; (iii) whether individuality occurred in vocalisation structure. We found four categories of vocalisations, of which two had different variants. Not all study groups produced all call categories and variants. Older and younger males in the reintroduction enclosures had the highest call rates compared to captive females and captive males. The vocal and behavioural patterns differed between groups. Squeak call structure differed between individuals. Such vocal complexity may aid manatees in adapting to their dynamic social and structural environment, facilitating communication.
Smart Fraction Theory
Authors: Kirkegaard Emil O. W. , Carl Noah 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Previous studies have found that the ability of a country’s cognitive elite is generally more predictive than the average ability. However, these studies have relied on sub-optimal methods. Here, the authors tested smart fraction theory, as it is known, using a pre-residualization approach, which obviates the problem of collinearity. For outcome variables, they utilised the 51 indicators of the Social Progress Index, as well as 6 economic variables. Like in previous research, the authors operationalized the ability of the intellectual class as the 95th percentile score. Consistent with smart fraction theory, they found evidence that the ability of the intellectual class does influence outcomes over and above that of the average ability. For the 93 countries with available data, average ability explained 57% of the variation in country performance. Adding the 95th percentile score increased this to 66%. The authors discuss their findings in light of the existing literature.
National Identity, Ethnicity and Social Capital in Iran
Authors: Mirfardi Asghar , Kazemi Ali , Valinezhad Abdollah 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This article investigates the national identity and its relationship with ethnicity and social capital among Iranian university students. The findings show that in Iran, despite ethnic diversity, the observed mean index of national identity is higher than the expected mean. The Persian and Lor ethnic groups obtained the highest, and the Kurdish, and Turkish ethnic groups the lowest mean scores on national identity and social capital. Students majoring in agriculture and humanities obtained the highest, and engineering students the lowest mean score of national identity. Students majoring in science obtained the highest, and engineering students the lowest mean score of social capital. The findings suggest a positive correlation between national identity and social capital. In terms of national identity, there are statistically significant differences among students, but not according to their gender and educational major. In Iran, as a multi-ethnic society, social capital and national identity are directly related. This means that civic national identity and inter-group social capital among Iranian ethnic groups reinforce each other.
Tabula Cebetis Printed in Vienna
Authors: Kiliańczyk-Zięba Justyna 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The article focuses on an edition of Tabula Cebetis printed in 1517 in Vienna represented by a unique copy (preserved in a Sammelband) that is furnished with a full-page woodcut dated 1515. The inquiry lays emphasis on the design and appearance of the 1517 edition. These are analyzed as reflecting the book’s potential audience, but also as suggesting the former existence of an edition of the Tabula (Vienna, 1515) that is presently not available in a surviving copy. Concurrently, since issuing the dialogue in Vienna was connected to the activities of itinerant poets, scholars, printers and they patrons, who worked towards integrating the humanist curriculum into the local education, this study provides insight into the intellectual networks of those who were involved with the Tabula’s publication and who constituted the contemporary audience in Central Europe both for this and other humanistic texts.
Ethnic Politics and Violation of Basic Civil Rights of Amharas in Benishangul Gumuz Regional State of the Post 1991 Ethiopia
Authors: Endalew Getasew , Molla Adugna , Hussen Endris , Bayeh Addisalem 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Ethnic politics, conceptually, entails the political orientation of employing ethnicity as a means of cooperation and conflict. Based on this concept, the study was aimed to examine actors, causes and consequences of the violation plus challenges in preserving civil rights of Amharas in Benishangul Gumuz Regional State (bgrs) of the post 1991 Ethiopia. It applied qualitative research approach. Accordingly, the research found that the major actors on the violation of civil rights of Amharas are ‘titular’ nationalities, public officials, police force and agricultural investors of bgrs. The causes for the violations of rights of Amharas are ethnic attacks and evictions. These maltreatments brought the consequence of eroding their sense of citizenship and potential of development. The challenges for protection of civil rights of Amharas are problems of controlling rulers and exclusionary constitution. Thus, it concluded that civil rights of Amharas in bgrs have no guarantee and requires immediate political solution.
Der Serbisch-Orthodoxe Patriarch Porfirije als „Brückenbauer“
Authors: Kisić Rade 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The article offers a portrait of Porfirije (Perić), the new patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church, elected in February 2021. Based on Porfirije’s own writings, he is characterized first and foremost as a “builder of bridges” in various senses and contexts of dialogue, concerning ecumenical, but also inter-religious and inter-ethnic dialogue. This corresponds with his conscious self-identification and interpretation of his role as a Christian and as an Orthodox bishop. Main sketches of this image already became visible during Porfirije’s time as Orthodox metropolitan of Zagreb, a position he took over by 2014. Historical burdens from the complex history of the territory of former Yugoslavia form multiple challenges to the conciliatory approach of Porfirije. The Serbian patriarch devotes particular attention to the relationship with the Roman Catholic Church, in Croatia and beyond.
Un cas de renommée savante :  Sylvain Lévi, de la grandeur à l’oubli
Authors: Fhima Catherine , Lardinois Roland 
Published: December 2022

Résumé
Cet article se propose d’étudier le processus par lequel se construit puis se perpétue une renommée savante en considérant le cas de Sylvain Lévi (1863-1935), professeur de langue et littérature sanskrites au Collège de France et qui fut pendant 15 ans (1920-1935) président de l’Alliance israélite universelle. On analyse la renommée de Sylvain Lévi sur les trois plans que sont le nom propre, l’œuvre et les actions dans lesquelles il s’est engagé. On montre que la position éminente de Sylvain Lévi, de son vivant, tient au fait que son double magistère d’homme de science et d’autorité morale est en pleine adéquation avec l’actualité de son temps. Mais au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les conditions historiques, politiques et sociales ne sont plus réunies pour soutenir ce type de position. La renommée de Sylvain Lévi est alors fragmentée selon les publics, et la mémoire de son nom s’efface même des reconstructions historiographiques portant sur les grandes figures intellectuelles de la première moitié du XXe siècle.
Minorities Between State and Sharia Discourses in African Muslim Societies
Authors: Tayob Abdulkader 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This essay proposes a framework for understanding the construction of religious groups and minorities in Muslim societies through two intersecting and inter-related discourses. The first is a discourse and experience of modern state formation with roots in Africa’s colonial history. And the second is a discourse of the Other in Islamic jurisprudence and theology. It builds on Talal Asad’s thesis that a modern state discourse of secular authority does not preclude religious symbols that shape religious minorities. However, the essay goes beyond Asad by showing that Muslim reformist groups also articulate a religious discourse on minorities and religious groups. The essay argues that a discursive construction of Muslim religious minorities and groups occurs through contemporary state and Islamic reformist discourses. The article presents Egypt and Nigeria as case studies to illustrate this construction.
The Formation of Muslim Minorities within a Muslim Majority Context: the Case of Shia Groups in Nigeria
Authors: Ibrahim Musa 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Focusing on al-Ḥaraka al-Islamiyya fī Nayjīriyā (Islamic Movement in Nigeria), which is the largest Shia group in the country, this article examines Shia’s growth and social relations between its members and the Sunni majority. It analyses how the imn uses its structure, networks, and reform programs to spread Shia at the grassroots despite theological and political opposition from the Sunni majority. Beyond engaging in doctrinal polemics with the Sunnis, the Shias organized themselves into a well- structured religious movement with a political agenda challenging the Sunni majority and the Nigerian state. They are construed as a threat by the state, a notion supported by the Sunni Muslims within and outside the government. Subsequently, these dynamics inform how both Shia minorities and Sunni majority react to each other and how they both partake in remaking the wider social fabric of the society they share through interpersonal encounters and their relationship with the state.
Of Patience and Pity: Rewriting and Reciting the Widely Travelled Islamic Poem “The Hawk and the Dove” in East Africa
Authors: Vierke Clarissa 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The Swahili poem of “The Hawk and the Dove” (Kozi na Ndiwa) has long been popular along the Swahili coast. In brief, the poem tells the story of the prophet Musa, who is put to the test by the angels Mikaili and Jibrili, disguised as a dove and a hawk. The dove, fleeing the famished hawk, finds refuge in the folds of Musa’s clothes. The bird of prey, approaching Musa, claims its right to the dove, since it is hungry. Musa faces a dilemma: he understands the hawk’s argument but is also full of pity for the dove. When he finally offers to cut off a part of his own right thigh to feed the hawk, the birds reveal themselves as the two angels and praise the prophet.
“The Hawk and the Dove” has been a travelling Islamic poem par excellence: like many other popular Swahili Islamic poems dating back to the eighteenth, but mostly the nineteenth century – the heyday of Swahili Islamic poetry, having flourished amid the Sufi movements and their emphasis on poetry in vernacular languages as a means to ignite religious zeal in wider audiences – the poem is also based on sources that have widely travelled the Indian Ocean. Swahili poets creatively adapted them into Swahili verse, just as other Muslim poets in North Africa, West Africa, and, earlier, the Iberian Peninsula did for the discourses relevant to their own contexts. This contribution takes the double optic of providing a first text edition of the most ancient surviving Swahili manuscript of the poem. Secondly, I view the poem amid a longer history of circulation beyond the Swahili coast, as well as compare it with other popular, vernacular versions in the Arabic dialect of Algeria, Hausa in Nigeria, and the earlier adaptations by moriscos from the Iberian Peninsula in Aljamiado. This kaleidoscope of various rewritings of the story allows me to see the Swahili-specific readings more clearly in contrast.
Two Logics of Non-Recurrence after Civil Conflict
Authors: McAuliffe Padraig 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This article examines the interactions of two under-theorised means to forestall recurrence of violence and human rights abuses after conflict with two very different, but by no means mutually incompatible, logics. The first of these is guarantees of non-recurrence (gnr s), a branch of transitional justice characterised by a deeply formalist, institutionalised logic. The second is political settlements characterised by a highly informal logic. This article explores the conceptual terrain between these two logics of non-recurrence. It demonstrates a mismatch between the faith of transitional justice policy-makers in the centrality of gnr s to non-recurrence, on the one hand, and the actual process of guarding against conflict resumption as it is shaped extra-institutionally by the informal practices that underpin settlements, on the other. Post-conflict states generally place greater faith in the informal logic of settlements than the institutionalist logic of gnr s. Arguing that the prospects for non-recurrence are not fully captured if we focus only on the legal and institutional attributes of the state, it shows that settlements evolve or disintegrate incrementally over time. This critically conditions when gnr s are essential and efficacious. Put another way, the fate of gnr s in particular institutions depends on how settlements in general maintain the peace. Transitional justice theorists should be open to the possibility that guarantees of non-repetition are the fruit, not the precondition, of social order.
Dostoevsky on the Metaphysical Mystery of the Unhappy Consciousness
Authors: Petrova Galina I. , Tarabanov Nikolay A. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
We argue that such trends of modern philosophy as philosophical anthropology, hermeneutics and phenomenology in their ideological origins were born in Russian philosophizing, so that the ideas and images of Dostoevsky’s works have been revealed as their harbinger. More specifically, he supplemented the categorical apparatus of philosophy with the concept of mystery, foreseeing the specifics of descriptive language, which has become relevant to the specifics of modern philosophical and anthropological discoveries and socio-ontological constructions. In addition, we consider the phenomenon of unhappy consciousness found in Notes from the Underground and make an assumption about intersubjective (pluralistic) idealism – an original metaphysical conception, within the framework of which the definition of man as a mystery can be explained.
