ObjectiveAccess to effective treatments for adolescents with depression needs to improve. Few studies have evaluated behavioural activation (BA) for adolescent depression, and none remotely delivered BA. This study explored the feasibility and acceptability of therapist-guided and self-guided internet-delivered BA (I-BA) in preparation for a future randomised controlled trial (RCT).DesignA single-blinded randomised controlled feasibility trial.SettingA specialist outpatient clinic in Sweden.ParticipantsThirty-two adolescents with mild-to-moderate major depression, aged 13–17 years.InterventionsTen weeks of therapist-guided I-BA or self-guided I-BA, or treatment as usual (TAU). Both versions of I-BA included parental support. TAU included referral to usual care within child and youth psychiatry or primary care.OutcomesFeasibility measures included study take-up, participant retention, acceptability, safety and satisfaction. The primary outcome measure was the blinded assessor-rated Children’s Depression Rating Scale, Revised. The primary endpoint was the 3-month follow-up.Results154 adolescents were screened and 32 were randomised to therapist-guided I-BA (n=11), self-guided I-BA (n=10) or TAU (n=11). Participant retention was acceptable, with two drop-outs in TAU. Most participants in TAU had been offered interventions by the primary endpoint. The mean number of completed chapters (total of 8) for adolescents was 7.5 in therapist-guided I-BA and 5.4 in self-guided I-BA. No serious adverse events were recorded. Satisfaction was acceptable in both I-BA groups. Following an intent-to-treat approach, the linear mixed-effects model revealed that both therapist-guided and self-guided I-BA (Cohen’s d=2.43 and 2.23, respectively), but not TAU (Cohen’s d=0.95), showed statistically significant changes on the primary outcome measure with large within-group effect sizes.ConclusionsBoth therapist-guided and self-guided I-BA are acceptable and potentially efficacious treatments for adolescents with depression. It is feasible to conduct a large-scale RCT to establish the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of I-BA versus TAU.Trial registration numberClinicalTrials.gov Registry (NCT04117789).

BackgroundChronic breathlessness in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is effectively treated with pulmonary rehabilitation. However, baseline patient characteristics predicting improvements in breathlessness are unknown. This knowledge may provide better understanding of the mechanisms engaged in treating breathlessness and help to individualise therapy. Increasing evidence supports the role of expectation (ie, placebo and nocebo effects) in breathlessness perception. In this study, we tested functional brain imaging markers of breathlessness expectation as predictors of therapeutic response to pulmonary rehabilitation, and asked whether D-cycloserine, a brain-active drug known to influence expectation mechanisms, modulated any predictive model.MethodsData from 71 participants with mild-to-moderate COPD recruited to a randomised double-blind controlled experimental medicine study of D-cycloserine given during pulmonary rehabilitation were analysed (ID:NCT01985750). Baseline variables, including brain-activity, self-report questionnaires responses, clinical measures of respiratory function and drug allocation were used to train machine-learning models to predict the outcome, a minimally clinically relevant change in the Dyspnoea-12 score.ResultsOnly models that included brain imaging markers of breathlessness-expectation successfully predicted improvements in Dyspnoea-12 score (sensitivity 0.88, specificity 0.77). D-cycloserine was independently associated with breathlessness improvement. Models that included only questionnaires and clinical measures did not predict outcome (sensitivity 0.68, specificity 0.2).ConclusionsBrain activity to breathlessness related cues is a strong predictor of clinical improvement in breathlessness over pulmonary rehabilitation. This implies that expectation is key in breathlessness perception. Manipulation of the brain’s expectation pathways (either pharmacological or non-pharmacological) therefore merits further testing in the treatment of chronic breathlessness.

Species distribution modeling of a cucurbit Herpetospermum darjeelingense in Darjeeling Himalaya, India
Authors: Boral Debasruti , Saurav Moktan  
Published: December 2022

Herpetospermum darjeelingense (C.B.Clarke) H. Schaef. & S.S. Renner is a rare cucurbit found in Darjeeling, Himalaya. It is known for its use as food and medicine with possible pharmaceutical applications. Here we assess the current and future habitat suitability of H. darjeelingense in the study area using MaxEnt modeling. In order to obtain accurate results for future models, the ensemble method was used. The current suitable habitat covers only 13% of the study area, while the future models for 2050 and 2070 show zero habitat suitability for the species. This strongly indicates a possible local extinction of the species indicating a need for rapid and decisive conservation efforts.
A New Identification of a Psalm Manuscript from Qumran: 4Q85 + 4Q98c
Authors: Longacre Drew , Strawn Brent A. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This brief note proposes a new identification for a fragment of one of the Psalm manuscripts from Qumran. On the basis of material conditions—but above all else, the distinctive paleography of the script—4Q98c (4QP st) should be considered as part of the same manuscript known as 4Q85 (4QP sc). If this identification is correct, the latter now contains material known from the second half of the (proto-)MT Psalter, increasing the plausibility that it once contained the entire book of Psalms.
Three Notes on Statius, Thebaid 5 (11-16; 20-23; 29-32)
Authors: Martínez Zepeda Baruch 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This article aims to examine three textual problems in Statius’ Thebaid, book 5 (Hypsipyle’s narration of the massacre in Lemnos). These textual issues have been previously approached by different scholars without taking into account each other’s work. This paper conveys an overview and shows that some of these problems had already been clarified by ancient exegesis.
Description of Hemicycliophora geraerti n. sp. (Tylenchida: Hemicycliophoridae) associated with Prunus persica L. from China
Authors: Zhang Chenying , Munawar Maria , Castillo Pablo , Han Shaojie , Zheng Jingwu 
Published: December 2022

Summary
Hemicycliophora species are migratory root ectoparasites of higher plants, commonly known as sheath nematodes. The present study describes a new species, Hemicycliophora geraerti n. sp., recovered from the rhizosphere of peach tree (Prunus persica) in Zhejiang Province, China. This species is characterised by a cuticular sheath loosely fitting to the body, a lip region slightly set-off with body contour bearing 3-4 annuli, oral plate narrow, ovate, and non-protruding, amphidial apertures plugged, dorsoventrally flanked in the first lip annulus, stylet 110 (103-116) μm long and flexible, excretory pore located 4-7 annuli posterior to the base of the pharyngeal bulb; vulval lips modified with a small vulval sleeve, anus located 16 (13-21) annuli posterior to vulva, tail elongated, having a narrowly rounded slightly offset spike. The molecular characterisation and phylogenetic analyses based on D2-D3 expansion segments of the 28S rRNA, ITS rRNA, and COI mtDNA gene indicated the unique status and support the novelty of this population of Hemicycliophora, therefore herein described as H. geraerti n. sp.
Comparative morphological and molecular analyses of Acrobeloides bodenheimeri and A. tricornis Cobb, 1924 (Rhabditida, Cephalobidae) from Tunisia
Authors: Bhat Aashaq Hussain , Loulou Ameni , Abolafia Joaquín , Machado Ricardo A.R. , Kallel Sadreddine 
Published: December 2022

Summary
Four populations of Acrobeloides nematodes were isolated from Tunisian soils. Based on morphological and morphometric data, two populations, TC9 and HWO, were identified as A. tricornis and the other two, TC7 and K18g, as A. bodenheimeri. Acrobeloides tricornis is distinguished from its closely related species by its high labial probolae with arcuate termini, inconspicuous post-uterine sac, and five lateral incisures, while A. bodenheimeri is distinguished from other acrobeloids by having a low and rounded labial probolae, distinct post-uterine sac, five lateral incisures, and vulva frequently with vaginal plug. The A. tricornis and A. bodenheimeri reported in this study are distinguished by the shape of labial probolae (high with acute distal part vs low and rounded), post-uterine sac (inconspicuous vs distinct), position of the reproductive system with respect to the intestine (sinistral vs dextral), vulva with vaginal plug (present vs absent) and some morphometric characters (such as body length). Further, these species were also molecularly characterised using the sequences of the D2-D3 region of the 28S rRNA gene, the 18S rRNA gene, the ITS rRNA gene, and of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (mtCO1) gene. Phylogenetic trees using ribosomal RNA gene sequences clearly separate species of the ‘Maximus’ group, but these sequences appear to be identical in several other Acrobeloides species, and thus are unlikely to be useful as molecular markers for species-level molecular identification in the genus Acrobeloides. The mtCO1 gene sequences of two A. tricornis populations differ in 58 and 64 nucleotide bases from A. varius and A. nanus, respectively, indicating that the mtCO1 gene sequences have greater phylogenetic resolving power than nuclear rRNA gene sequences, and that this gene marker can differentiate closely related species in the genus Acrobeloides.
The pharyngeal and genitalia-associated muscles of Rhabditolaimus ulmi (Nematoda: Chromodorea: Rhabditida: Diplogastridae)
Authors: Ryss Alexander , Polyanina Kristina S. 
Published: December 2022

Summary
The copulatory organs and pharynx are important for nematode classification. This research aimed to study the musculature of the wood-inhabiting nematode, Rhabditolaimus ulmi, using confocal microscopy. The lip region is hexagonal with enlarged lateral lips; the pharynx is diplogastrid type with two bulbs. The corpus comprises the fused stegostoma, procorpus and metacorpus, with six glands opening in the stegostoma and the corpus limen. The stegostoma has a large dorsal bulge and the posterior bulb is devoid of valve, with two circles of dilators and a basal sphincter. The female genital muscles have a four-radial symmetry around the vaginal opening to the uterus. Two vaginal constrictors and four pairs of dilators of two types are connected to the vagina-uterus opening; four dilators run perpendicular to the uterus axis and are connected to the uterine muscular corset. The sphincter between the intestine and cloaca consists of the middle ring with two pairs of processes connected ventrally with intestinal fasciculi and dorsally with the body wall. The ring contains the inner biconical X-structure. In the male, the gubernaculum has the dorsal erector and a pair of transverse muscles. The wide gubernacular spicule protractor envelops spicules anteriorly. The ventral tail muscle is wide, unpaired, and nine pairs of serial diagonal muscles are located beneath the body wall muscles, followed by three pairs of postcloacal oblique muscles of the tail. Anal depressors comprise a pair of transverse muscles with expanded middle globular parts. The copulatory muscles are of the Rhabditidae and Cephalobidae type modified because of spicules elongation. The muscle characters code of the previously published tabular key for 15 muscle characters is 73422-22144-42223; it can be used for phylogenetic reconstructions.
A Public Convergence: Embracing the Congregation as a Place of Difference
Authors: Parker Dylan 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Communitarians and public theologians alike tend to discuss the church’s identity as a clearly demarcated community separated from the world or public life, each defining publicness as something that is found outside the church. It is a more likely argument that publicness is already present in the congregation as a place of difference: it is possible for the particulars of the community to interact, engage, and mutually benefit the various social realms present in and through the congregants. This public identity renders engagement with the public an unavoidable reality and provides an opportunity for the congregation to become a fruitful space for the work of public theology by embracing this reality through the development of a public posture of openness, accessibility, and accountability, which would improve both the church’s internal ministry and its ministry in the world beyond its community.
Apologies for the Public Good: Towards a Taxonomy of Sorrow
Authors: Parker Stephen 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Apologies are frequently called for today, and can make a valuable contribution to the public good. However, many so-called apologies are actually vague regret, blaming, placating, excusing or merely mourning. Given their importance, this article explores their nature and proposes a taxonomy of sorrow that elucidates the meaning of claims to apology. Simply saying ‘I am sorry’, or worse, adding ‘that you’, ‘if I’, ‘but’ or ‘that’ does not make an apology. Such a statement is only an apology when responsibility and regret are both offered, without excuse, such as the confessing ‘I am sorry that I …’. Given apologies can help heal victims, restore offenders, encourage forgiveness, repair relationships, and contribute to justice and peace-making efforts, the development of such a taxonomy to improve apologies is in the public interest.
A Case for Pentecostal Interculturality
Authors: Embudo Timenia Lora Angeline 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Interculturality has been promulgated by many scholars from the 1970s onward due to world transformations such as postcolonialism, migration, and globalization. In the context of Southeast Asia, one of the ways this becomes obvious is through South-to-South mission, in which a sense of mutuality becomes the basis for intercultural partnerships. Such is the case for the Filipino Assemblies of God mission in Cambodia. Their development from cross-cultural to intercultural in their missionary endeavors can be traced through their history. The three areas of mutuality between Filipinos and Cambodians that emerged from a triangulation of their oral history, related literature, and secondary interview data are a mutual experience of socioeconomic struggle, shared acceptance of a spirit world, and the closeness of their ethnicity. Because of these areas of mutuality, Filipino AG missionaries have been able to share Christianity in a contextualized and culturally sensitive manner. These areas of mutuality also made them more relatable to Cambodians, enhancing long-term partnerships in the field.
The Promise of American Pentecostal Political Theologies
Authors: Studebaker Steven M. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Political strife and cultural upheaval characterize public life in the United States today. When did it start? Not with Donald J. Trump’s election, but he certainly amplified and accelerated these trends. Do the Spirit of Pentecost and communities of people filled with and empowered by the Holy Spirit offer a way forward beyond the acrimony, hatreds, bigotries, and political polarities? The articles in this issue think they do. With these concerns and questions in mind, the articles presented here assess, critique, and offer constructive proposals for pentecostal political theology and practice in the age of Trump and beyond. This introductory article lays groundwork, historical and theological, for the generative contributions these articles make to pentecostal political theology in the United States.
Thinking Africa in Postmission Theology: Implications for Global Theological Discourse
Authors: Appiah Simon Kofi 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
It is necessary to consider the place of Africa in postmission theology, described here as ‘postmissionality,’ because of the high Christian percentage of the African population. This demography means that Africa is now, more than ever before, of great significance to global Christianity. In the same vein, it reveals that Christianity is an important variable in the development of Africa. The relevance of this dialogical relationship between Africa and Christianity extends beyond Africa into global Christianity, which is today experienced as the innovative realization of the Christian religion in de-imperializing contests. This paper discusses three – political/liberationist, multicultural/pluralism, and Pentecostal – of the many aspects of ‘postmissionality’ and shows how they can influence and advance the development of global theological discourse.
Soteriology in Evangelical Practice: A View from the Street
Authors: Paas Stefan 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This article discusses the difficulties experienced by evangelical missionary practitioners in the West from the perspective of soteriology. This is done ‘from below,’ that is, based on recent empirical studies. First, the ‘benchmark soteriology’ of evangelicalism is presented. Second, based on an analysis of recent field studies of missionary practices in Europe a series of challenges for evangelical evangelism are listed. It appears that evangelical practitioners often experience ‘speechlessness’ in terms of witness. This leads to various forms of frustration and disappointment. After offering some suggestions for an explanation of this speechlessness, the article concludes with a tentative description of a new paradigm of evangelism emerging from missionary practices in the West.
Examining the Patterns and Dynamics of Intra-Regional Trade and Revealed Comparative Advantage in the East African Community
Authors: Mkenda Beatrice K. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This paper investigates intra-regional trade changes in the East African Community since its revival, as well as their revealed comparative advantage and evolution between 2001 and 2020. While most studies have examined the comparative advantage of individual EAC countries, they have not addressed how the revival of the Community impacted comparative advantage and intra-regional trade over time. As its analytical approach, the study calculates trade intensity indicators, revealed comparative advantage indices, and evaluates product categories that have lost, retained, or gained comparative advantage. The following conclusions are drawn from the study’s findings: first, the revival of the Community increased intra-regional trade at first, but it soon dwindled due to non-tariff barriers. Second, product groups exported in raw form retained their comparative advantage, with Uganda having the most such product groups. Third, comparative advantage evolved, with Kenya having the greatest number of product groups gaining comparative advantage. Three policy implications emerge: first, restoring intra-regional trade to immediate post-Community levels requires significant reductions in trade barriers. Second, increasing export revenues necessitates the addition of value to agricultural products. Third, due to the dynamic nature of comparative advantage, countries must tailor policy support to product groups that lose comparative advantage.
Theological Dependencies of the Palatinate Church Order (1563)
Authors: Kroese Wouter 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The Reformed Dutch baptismal form in the Dathenus Psalter (1566) is a translated adaption of the form in the Palatinate Church Order (1563). In the Palatinate Church Order (1563), this baptismal form is accompanied by a text “On holy baptism.” The present article researches the sources of the baptismal texts in the Palatinate Church Order (1563), with a special focus on the phrase “children having the Holy Spirit.” It builds upon the critical edition of J.F. Gerhard Goeters (1969), and uses an extra type of sources: the so-called Lasconian catechisms.
Exasperating Rides and Bittersweet Duties
Authors: Sinno Nadine 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This article offers a contextual analysis of Annemarie Jacir’s film Wajib. I argue that Jacir employs the tropes of ‘the exasperating ride’ and ‘bittersweet duty’ as a means of demonstrating the material conditions endured by Palestinians in Nazareth, documenting mundane acts of sumuud in the face of personal and collective traumas, and articulating the complex sociopolitical landscape inhabited by Palestinians. Employing the interrelated tropes of the exasperating ride and bittersweet duty, Jacir ‘humors the Palestinian homeland’, thereby eschewing clichéd representations of Palestinians. The usage of the term ‘humor’ refers to a sense of eliciting frivolousness, as well as a sense of accommodating difference. Palestinian protagonists in Wajib often utilize humor as a survival mechanism; they also humor other Palestinians, whose worldviews, relationship to the land and modalities of steadfastness may differ from their own. The film emphasizes the polyphonous voices circumventing an exclusive master-narrative about the Palestinian homeland.
Interpreting Empire: English, U.S. Advisors, and Interpreters in the Korean War
Authors: Jin Syrus 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The Korean Military Advisory Group (kmag) – a relatively small unit of U.S. Army officers – developed, advised, and exerted influence over the Republic of Korea (rok) Army from its inception in 1946 through the signing of the Korean War armistice in July 1953. kmag advisors served down to the battalion level, working alongside South Korean counterparts in rok Army units, causing language to be a crucial battlefield that animated American anxieties and negative racial assumptions. In a moment when few, if any, American military officers had Korean language proficiency, South Koreans with English-language capability became essential to the U.S. foreign policy project in South Korea. South Korean interpreters, too, amplified racialized concerns about the trustworthiness of rok soldiers. This article places American understandings of language in kmag affairs into critical focus, highlighting the cultural assumptions that came to effect material change in U.S. Army policy towards the rok Army before and during the Korean War. It shows how language was a means of U.S. penetration into the fabric of Korean state and society, but also a target of imaginations that disturbed the U.S. military because of its consistent reminder of how language could resist American suggestion.
