Our Cloud of Witnesses: A Writing of Hebrews 11:1–12:2 in Memory of the Asian and Asian American Women Killed 16 March 2021
Authors: Lin Yii-Jan 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
This is a writing of Heb 11:1–12:2 in memory of and inspired by the Asian and Asian American women killed in the Atlanta, Georgia, area on 16 March 2021. It does not reread the passage but rather writes a new passage that honors Asian women immigrants, their histories, and their faith as seekers of a homeland. The themes of lineage, ancestors, migration, faith, and rest in a promised land from Heb 11:1–12:2 are transformed and woven in hermeneutical poiesis to confront the long history and current wave of anti-Asian hate, erasure, and violence against Asian and Asian American women. The purpose of this article is twofold: to produce a text from Scripture that honors and memorializes the women in the context of the Asian American community and to articulate how this creative hermeneutic expands the scope of biblical studies. After an introduction, the new passage is presented alongside the verses from Hebrews, followed by a discussion of methodology and a commentary on the new text.

Winter conditions are dominating the road traffic platform in the Northern Scandinavia, as the platform availability must be ensured regardless of the amount of snow, surface slipperiness or such kind of events. Weather services play an important role in successful road traffic operations, especially in the Northern areas, where the weather conditions vary substantially. Intelligent Road project is contributing towards tackling this challenge and aims to support the development of business community in Northern Scandinavian region by road safety provision via vehicular networking based services in Nordic weather conditions. The specific objective of the project was the demonstration of sustainable and marketable Intelligent Road System providing location-based short-term road weather information to the road user passing by the area. In this paper we present the service concept, service demonstration and communication field tests of such a system in Northern Finland. FMI’s combined Road Weather Station (RWS)/Road Side Unit (RSU) is acting as a central infrastructural element of such vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication platform, supported with areal infrastructure and third party vehicles equipped with weather measurement and communication infrastructure. The aim is to employ road weather systems of FMI and furthermore exploit RWS data as well as the data gathered from vehicle instrumentation. The resulting up-to-date and localized weather data is then delivered to the stakeholders, tourists and even the vehicles in the operating area in real-time, using variety of vehicular networking methodologies available. IEEE 802.11p based vehicular networking is the primary communication channel, supported with traditional Wi-Fi and 3G communications.
New Athos Monastery of Saint Simon the Cananaean is the Spiritual Center in the South of the Russian Empire: the Circumstances of the Emergence and the Process of the Formation of the Monastery
Authors: Melnikova Liubov 
Published: January 2023

The article examines the circumstances of the foundation and the process of formation in the Caucasus of the New Athos Monastery of St. Simon the Cananaean — a branch of the Athos Russian St. Panteleimon Monastery. It is shown that the appearance of the Caucasian monastery was one of the results of the “Greek-Russian Panteleimon process” — a major conflict that arose in the first half of the 1870s. on Mount Athos due to the aggravation of contradictions between different ethnic communities in St. Panteleimon Monastery, the general rise in the Greek environment of anti-Slavic and anti-Russian sentiments caused by Russia&apos;s position in the Greek-Bulgarian church issue, as well as due to the actions of British diplomacy, which sought to weaken Russian influence in the Balkans and the Middle East. The role of the Russian ambassador to Constantinople N. P. Ignatiev in the settlement of the conflict and in the appearance of the New Athos Monastery in the Caucasus is considered. The origin and development of the Caucasian monastery, its situation during the Russian-Turkish War of 1877—1878, the spiritual life and missionary activity of the New Athonite monks are studied. It is emphasized that the New Athos Monastery, having emerged as a supposed “refuge” for Russian Athonians in the event of new troubles in the East, soon turned into a pearl of the Black Sea coast, a major spiritual and missionary center in the south of the Russian Empire.
Fasten a Citizen: Forsing Seat Belts in a Soviet Car
Authors: Popov Aleksei 
Published: January 2023

In the second half of the 1960s, the Soviet authorities accelerated development of the passenger car industry. The new cars had to meet the best world standards, but they also had to be a source of danger to citizens. Contradiction between the tasks of mass production and safety of citizens caused a clash of interests between the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Automobile Industry in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The article examines the history of the introduction of safety belts as one of the subjects of this clash, based on the analysis of previously unpublished archival materials, personal documents and articles in the magazine “Za ruliom”. Research shown how the task of introducing safety belts, which initially concerned only export car models, was set at the national level with the active support of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Concerns of the Soviet leadership about the increase in accidents during motorization led to a rethinking of how to ensure road safety by creating a safer car. The history of the development, testing, and industrial introduction of seat belts turned out to be a complex process, in which, ultimately, the interests of various Soviet institutions intersected. At the same time, years of press discussions about the benefits of seat belts, which reflected a clash of interagency interests, influenced the opinion of soviet drivers long before seat belts became commercially available.
THE PRIME MINISTER OF RUSSIA: IDEAL AND REAL (POLITICAL PERCEPTIONS OF RESIDENTS OF THE BRYANSK REGION)
Authors: Solonenko Aleksandra V. 
Published: January 2023

Aim. To explore the image of M. V. Mishustin, formed in the minds of residents of the Bryansk region, and its correlation with the ideal perceptions of citizens about high-level officials.Methodology. The methods of “case-study”, the in-depth focused interviews using stimulus material in the form of a black-and-white photograph of M. V. Mishustin, analysis of documents and other secondary evidence were used. The study was conducted in 2021–2022 in the Bryansk region. A total of 40 in-depth interviews were conducted.Results. Based on a comparative analysis of the images of real and ideal ministers, it was concluded that M.V. Mishustin more closely corresponds to the ideal perceptions of residents of the Bryansk region.Research implications. The theoretical and practical significance lies in the estimation of regional specifics of political leader perception as well as in correlation between real images of politicians and their ideal perceptions that exist in the mass consciousness. The differences between the real and ideal revealed in the course of the study provide means for correcting the political leader’s image and building trust-based relationships between the authorities and Russian population.

Published: January 2023

[English]: Mathematics anxiety emerges due to discomfort when dealing with mathematical problems, including problems in geometry. This qualitative research aims to analyze how students' anxiety in solving the problems referring to Van Hiele’s levels. The participants were sixty grade 7 students. Data was collected through a test, questionnaire, observations, and semi-structured interviews. It was then analyzed following the stages of condensation, presentation, and drawing and verifying conclusions. The research found that students at the visualization level have moderate anxiety and panic levels, students at the analysis level have moderate anxiety, and students with informal deduction levels have low anxiety. The high level of students' geometric thinking does not necessarily result in lower anxiety or vice versa. Math anxiety is able to encourage students, but at a certain level, it could be detrimental to students.
[Bahasa]: Kecemasan matematika timbul salah satunya karena rasa tidak nyaman ketika berhadapan dengan masalah matematika termasuk dalam menyelesaikan masalah geometri. Penelitian kualitatif ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kecemasan siswa dalam menyelesaikan soal geometri ditinjau dari level Van Hiele. Enam puluh siswa SMP kelas 7 dilibatkan dalam penelitian. Data penelitian dikumpulkan melalui tes, angket, observasi, dan wawancara semi terstruktur. Analisis data dilakukan melalui tiga tahap yaitu kondensasi data, penyajian data, serta penarikan dan verifikasi kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa siswa yang berada di level visualisasi memiliki tingkat kecemasan sedang dan panik, siswa pada level analisis memiliki kecemasan sedang, dan siswa pada level deduksi informal memiliki kecemasan rendah. Tingginya tingkat berpikir geometris siswa belum tentu mengakibatkan kecemasan yang rendah atau sebaliknya. Kecemasan matematika dapat mendukung siswa, akan tetapi pada tingkat kecemasan tertentu, dapat merugikan siswa.

Abstract
Ubiquitination of mitochondrial proteins plays an important role in the cellular regulation of mitophagy. The E3 ubiquitin ligase parkin (encoded by PARK2) and the ubiquitin-specific protease 30 (USP30) have both been reported to regulate ubiquitination of outer mitochondrial proteins and thereby mitophagy. Loss of E3 ligase activity is thought to be pathogenic in both sporadic and inherited Parkinson’s disease (PD), with loss-of-function mutations in PARK2 being the most frequent cause of autosomal recessive PD. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether mitophagy induced by USP30 inhibition provides a functional rescue in isogenic human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived dopaminergic neurons with and without PARK2 knockout (KO). Our data show that healthy neurons responded to CCCP-induced mitochondrial damage by clearing the impaired mitochondria and that this process was accelerated by USP30 inhibition. Parkin-deficient neurons showed an impaired mitophagic response to CCCP challenge, although mitochondrial ubiquitination was enhanced. USP30 inhibition promoted mitophagy in PARK2 KO neurons, independently of whether left in basal conditions or treated with CCCP. In PARK2 KO, as in control neurons, USP30 inhibition balanced oxidative stress levels by reducing excessive production of reactive oxygen species. Interestingly, non-dopaminergic neurons, were the main driver of the beneficial effects of USP30 inhibition. Our findings demonstrate that USP30 inhibition is a promising approach to boost mitophagy and improve cellular health, also in parkin-deficient cells, and support the potential relevance of USP30 inhibitors as a novel therapeutic approach in diseases with a need to combat neuronal stress mediated by impaired mitochondria.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
As an efficient method to remove contaminants from highly polluted sites, enzyme biodegradation addresses unresolved issues such as bioremediation inefficiency. In this study, the key enzymes involved in PAHs degradation were brought together from different arctic strains for biodegradation of highly contaminated soil. These enzymes were produced via multi-culture of psychrophilic Pseudomonas, Rhodococcus strains. As a result of biosurfactant production, the removal of pyrene was sufficiently prompted by Alcanivorax borkumensis. The key enzymes obtained via multi-culture were characterized by tandem LC-MS/MS and kinetic studies. To simulate in-situ application of produced enzyme solutions, pyrene and Dilbit contaminated soil was bioremediated in soil columns and flask tests by injecting enzyme cocktails from most promising consortia. Enzyme cocktail contained about 35.2 U/mg protein pyrene dioxygenase, 61.4 U/mg protein naphthalene dioxygenase, 56.5 U/mg protein catechol-2,3-dioxygenase, 6.1 U/mg protein 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoate hydroxylase, and 33.5 U/mg protein protocatechuic acid (P3,4D) 3,4-dioxygenase enzymes. It was found that after 6 weeks, the average pyrene removal values showed that the enzyme solution could be an effective in the soil column system (80–85% degradation of pyrene).

Abstract

Background and Aim:
The incidence of cancer colon below the age of 50 has increased dramatically. in addition to that, the database is lacking a review to analyze the outcomes of surgeries for mid-transverse colon cancer with several recent controversial studies. Our aim was to compare the outcomes of extended hemicolectomy versus transverse colectomy for mid-transverse colon cancer.
Method
PubMed, Scopes, Web of Science and Cochrane library were searched for eligible studies from inception to 1 May 2022 and a systematic review and meta-analysis were done to detect
Results
according to eligibility criteria 8 studies (2237 patients) were included in our study. The pooled results of the included studies showed no difference in the 5-year OS, 3-year DFS and 5-year DFS between the two types of surgery (5-year OS, RR = 1.15, 95% CI = 0.94–1.39, P = 0.17), (3-year OS, RR = 0.96, 95% CI = 0.88–1.06, P = 0.42) and (5-year DFS, RR = 1.21, 95% CI = 0.91–1.62, P = 0.20). In addition to that, the recurrence rate and the incidence of complications were similar in the two groups (Recurrence rate, RR = 1.08, 95% CI = 0.62–1.89, P = 0.79) and (Complications, RR = 1.07, 95% CI = 0.74–1.54, P = 0.72). however, the number of LN harvest and the time of the operation was more in case of extended hemicolectomy.
Conclusion
Despite harvesting less LN, transverse colectomy has similar oncological outcomes to extended hemicolectomy for mid-transverse colon cancer. In addition to that, no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two surgeries.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Background
Anxiety and depression are common among older adults and can intensify during perioperative periods, but few mental health interventions are designed for older surgical patients’ unique needs. We developed and adapted a perioperative mental health (PMH) bundle for older patients comprised of behavioral activation (BA) and medication optimization (MO) to ameliorate anxiety and depressive symptoms before, during, and after cardiac, orthopedic, and oncologic surgery.
Methods
We used mixed-methods including workshop studios with patients, caregivers, clinicians, researchers, and interventionists; intervention refinement and reflection meetings; patient case review meetings; intervention session audio-recordings and documentation forms; and patient and caregiver semi-structured interviews. We used the results to refine our PMH bundle. We used multiple analytical approaches to report the nature of adaptations, including hybrid thematic analysis and content analysis informed by the Framework for Reporting Adaptations and Modifications – Expanded.
Results
Adaptations were categorized by content (intervention components), context (how the intervention is delivered, based on the study, target population, intervention format, intervention delivery mode, study setting, study personnel), training, and evaluation. Of 51 adaptations, 43.1% involved content, 41.2% involved context, and 15.7% involved training and evaluation. Several key adaptations were noted: 1) Intervention content was tailored to patient preferences and needs (e.g., rewording elements to prevent stigmatization of mental health needs; adjusting BA techniques and documentation forms to improve patient buy-in and motivation). 2) Cohort-specific adaptations were recommended based on differing patient needs. 3) Compassion was identified by patients as the most important element.
Conclusions
We identified evidence-based mental health intervention components from other settings and adapted them to the perioperative setting for older adults. Informed by mixed-methods, we created an innovative and pragmatic patient-centered intervention bundle that is acceptable, feasible, and responsive to the needs of older surgical populations. This approach allowed us to identify implementation strategies to improve the reach, scalability, and sustainability of our bundle, and can guide future patient-centered intervention adaptations.
Conformational Change of Nucleosome Arrays prior to Phase Separation
Authors: Zhang Meng , Celis César-Díaz , Liu Jianfang , Bustamante Carlos , Ren Gang (Gary) 
Published: January 2023

Abstract

Chromatin phase transition serves as a regulatory mechanism for eukaryotic transcription. Understanding this process requires the characterization of the nucleosome array structure in response to external stimuli prior to phase separation. However, the intrinsic flexibility and heterogeneity hinders the arrays’ structure determination. Here we exploit advances in cryogenic electron tomography (cryo-ET) to determine the three-dimensional (3D) structure of each individual particle of mono-, di-, tri-, and tetranucleosome arrays. Statistical analysis reveals the ionic strength changes the angle between the DNA linker and nucleosome core particle (NCP), which regulate the overall morphology of nucleosome arrays. The finding that one-third of the arrays in the presence of H1 contain an NCP invaded by foreign DNA suggests an alternative function of H1 in constructing nucleosomal networks. The new insights into the nucleosome conformational changes prior to the intermolecular interaction stage extends our understanding of chromatin phase separation regulation.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Chlorides with palygorskite modifications have been more successfully used to remove heavy metal pollution from field soils. A pot experiment was used to examine the effects of amendments on the growth, biological concentration factor, bioaccumulation factor, and biological evaluation of heavy metals in corn (Zea mays L.).The palygorskite modified (with five various chlorides from PAL-Na to PAL-Al) and the PAL modified (with the non-amendment as the control) were used to remedy soil-contaminated pollution. Scan electrically microscopes SEM and X-ray deflection was utilised to characterise the modifications in the exterior and internal structure. In order to determine the bioavailability and stabilising effectiveness, CaCl2-extractable and part of the toxic characteristic leachable procedure were applied. To estimate the efficiency of stabilisation, the accumulations of minerals in roots and shoots (fresh and dry weight) were assessed. The palygorskite-modified with five chloride particles are dispersed consistently and are greatly established on the surfaces of the palygorskite, according to SEM and XRD. The TF amounts for Cd, Cu, Pb, and Cr were < 1, and the BCF and BAC amounts were obviously larger in the lower than in the upper parts. In conclusion, effectively reducing the bioavailability and movability of heavy metal in soil was achieved by applying palygorskite-modified chloride. In Cd, Cu, Pb, and Cr-contamination soils the stabilisation performed better when palygorskite-modified chlorides were applied than palygorskite alone. Therefore, it was a practical and potentially useful substance that might be used to efficiently ameliorate heavy metal contamination in soil and could have been high and accessible usage on the field scale.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Background
The growing demands for multidisciplinary cancer survivorship care require new approaches to address the needs of people living after a cancer diagnosis. Good Life–Cancer Survivorship is a self-management support survivorship program delivered by community allied health (AH) services for people diagnosed with cancer. A pilot study established the benefits of Good Life–Cancer Survivorship to help survivors manage their health and wellbeing in the community health setting. This study expanded the program to four community health services and evaluated the implementation outcomes of the survivorship program.
Methods
Eligible cancer survivors attending hospital oncology services were referred to the survivorship program. Data was collected between 19/02/2021-22/02/2022 and included allied health service utilisation, consumer surveys, and interviews to understand consumer experience with the survivorship program. Interviews and focus groups with hospital and community health professionals explored factors influencing the survivorship program uptake. Implementation outcomes included Adoption, Acceptability, Appropriateness, Feasibility, and Sustainability.
Results
Of 35 eligible survivors (mean age 65.5 years, SD=11.0; 56% women), 31 (89%) accepted the referral. Most survivors had two (n=14/31; 45%) or more (n=11/31; 35%) allied health needs. Of 162 AH appointments (median appointment per survivor=4; range=1-15; IQR:5), 142/162 (88%) were scheduled within the study period and 126/142 (89%) were attended. Consumers’ interviews (n=5) discussed the referral pathway; continuation of survivorship care in community health settings; opportunities for improvement of the survivorship program. Interviews with community health professionals (n=5) highlighted the impact of the survivorship program; cancer survivorship care in community health; sustainability of the survivorship program. Interviews (n=3) and focus groups (n=7) with hospital health professionals emphasised the importance of a trusted referral process; a holistic and complementary model of care; a person-driven process; the need for promoting the survivorship program. All evaluations favourably upheld the five implementation outcomes.
Conclusions
The Good Life–Cancer Survivorship program supported survivors in self-management strategies through accessible and tailored community allied health services. The survivorship program was well adopted and demonstrated acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility by all parties involved. Findings support the delivery of cancer survivorship care in community health settings with recommendations from clinicians to sustain the referral pathway.
