La memoria sensorial intermedial y el audiolibro Exils d’Espagne de la narradora oral judeoargentina Susana Azquinezer
Authors: Gallo González Danae 
Published: August 2023

Este artículo se propone analizar el audiolibro Exils d’Espagne. De la Retirada à aujourd’hui, de la narradora oral judeoargentina Susana Azquinezer y publicado por Oui’Dire Éditions en 2017, desde el punto de vista de los estudios de la memoria y de los afectos intermediales. En primer lugar, se presentará a la autora, su biografía familiar y profesional, que se insertará en el contexto de la historia migratoria a y desde Argentina. En segundo lugar, se presentará el enclave sociohistórico que sirve de telón de fondo al relato Exils d’Espagne, lo que dará pie a una reflexión teórica sobre sobre la memoria, su carácter multidireccional, palimséstico y sensorial en este objeto intermedial. En tercer lugar, se hará una lectura atenta de los medios retóricos y las estrategias narrativas que utiliza Azquinezer en la composición del relato en profunda interrelación con el código semiótico musical y la modulación oral de la palabra para demostrar el funcionamiento de la memoria palimpséstica y multidireccional que destila el audiolibro a nivel diegético y como se argüirá, la memoria sensorial intermedial que emana de la experiencia sónica de la recepción.

Background
The interrelationships between left atrial appendage (LAA) dimensions and device following implantation are unknown. We aimed to analyze the impact of Watchman device implantation on LAA dimensions following its percutaneous closure and potential predictors of remodeling.

Methods and Results

All consecutive LAA closure procedures performed at 2 centers between November 2017 and December 2020 were included in the WATCH‐DUAL (Watchman 2.5 Versus Watchman FLX in a Dual‐Center Left Atrial Appendage Closure Cohort) registry. This study included patients who had pre‐ and postintervention computed tomography scan analysis. The LAA and device dimensions were measured in a centralized core lab by 3‐dimensional computed tomography scan reconstruction methods, focusing on the device landing zone. This analysis included 104 patients (age, 76.0 [range, 72.0–83.0] years; 72% men; 53% Watchman FLX; 47% Watchman 2.5). The baseline characteristics were comparable between Watchman 2.5 and Watchman FLX groups, except for the higher use of oversizing in the latter group. The median delay for computed tomography control was 49 (range, 43–64) days. The landing zone area (median, 446 [range, 363–523] versus 290 [222–366] mm

Conclusions
LAA dimensions increased at the site of the Watchman prosthesis after implantation, suggesting a local positive remodeling after the procedure. This phenomenon was more pronounced in the case of oversized devices.
‘Signs and Wonders’ in Acts
Authors: Marx Benjamin 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
In 1987 Leo O’Reilly observed that ‘signs and wonders’ and its function in the overall narrative of Acts is a neglected topic. Only a few scholars have taken up the challenge and contributed to this topic. In this article, the author will strengthen O’Reilly’s arguments and further demonstrate that Luke uses the collocation of signs and wonders to argue for a strong parallel of Jesus and Moses and the ‘prophet to come’. Luke additionally demonstrates the continuity of Jesus’ prophetic ministry through his followers. In Acts the progress of early Christian mission is also associated with signs and wonders. Luke employs a chiasm – created throughout his use of signs and wonders – to argue for the church as the divinely commissioned continuation of salvation history.
Unity of Christology and Pneumatology to Support Justice for Women’s Leadership in the Context of the Church
Authors: Pranoto Minggus Minarto 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This article aims to emphasize the importance of the unity of the doctrines of Christology and Pneumatology that can be used to support the struggle for justice for women’s leadership in the context of the Church. One-sided or unbalanced emphasis on Christology alone or Pneumatology alone in theology can lead to injustice in the context of women’s leadership in the Church. If the teaching of Christology is dominant, but Pneumatology is a deficit – in relation to ecclesiology – then the concept to be emphasized is the Church was founded solely on the work of Jesus Christ, who was male. On the other hand, a dominant Pneumatology and a Christological deficit will obscure the support for justice for the emergence of female leaders in the Church.

Adopting the Constructive Vote of No-Confidence
Authors: Lento Tal 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
A constructive vote of no-confidence is more restrictive than a regular vote of no-confidence as it limits the ability of the legislative branch to challenge the government. Belgium and Israel are the only two countries to adopt the constructive vote of no-confidence while being established democracies. This paper focuses on these two highly interesting cases and asks two questions: 1) What were the circumstances and intentions that brought about the adoption of the cvnc in Belgium and in Israel? 2) What were the implications of the adoption of the cvnc on the Belgian and the Israeli political systems? The findings suggest that both Belgium and Israel adopted the cvnc out of a desire to stabilize their governments; however only Belgium has experienced a clear improvement in government stability after its adoption. In Israel the findings are mixed, depending on the measurement used to define government turnover.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Disruptive technologies, particularly Artificial Intelligence (ai), currently dominate the debate on the future of societal organisations and structures and this trend has intensified since the emergence of ChatGPT in late 2022. Naturally, such topics are related to the opportunities and challenges that arise when utilising ai-based approaches and cannot be omitted from the discussion about the evolution of parliamentary institutions. This report describes the content and conclusions of a two-day international workshop on artificial intelligence in parliaments that took place from 3–4 July 2023 in Friedrichshafen, Germany.
Diurnally Forced Tropical Gravity Waves under Varying Stability
Authors: Short Ewan , Lane Todd P. , Bishop Craig H. , Wheeler Matthew C. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Diurnal processes play a primary role in tropical weather. A leading hypothesis is that atmospheric gravity waves diurnally forced near coastlines propagate both offshore and inland, encouraging convection as they do so. In this study we extend the linear analytic theory of diurnally forced gravity waves, allowing for discontinuities in stability and for linear changes in stability over a finite-depth “transition layer.” As an illustrative example, we first consider the response to a commonly studied heating function emulating diurnally oscillating coastal temperature gradients, with a low-level stability change between the boundary layer and troposphere. Gravity wave rays resembling the upper branches of “Saint Andrew’s cross” are forced along the coastline at the surface, with the stability changes inducing reflection, refraction, and ducting of the individual waves comprising the rays, with analogous behavior evident in the rays themselves. Refraction occurs smoothly in the transition-layer solution, with substantially less reflection than in the discontinuous solution. Second, we consider a new heating function which emulates an upper-level convective heating diurnal cycle, and consider stability changes associated with the tropical tropopause. Reflection, refraction, and ducting again occur, with the lower branches of Saint Andrew’s cross now evident. We compare these solutions to observations taken during the Years of the Maritime Continent field campaign, noting better qualitative agreement with the transition-layer solution than the discontinuous solution, suggesting the tropopause is an even weaker gravity wave reflector than previously thought.

Significance Statement
This study extends our theoretical understanding of how forced atmospheric gravity waves change with atmospheric structure. Gravity wave behavior depends on atmospheric stability: how much the atmosphere resists vertical displacements of air. Where stability changes, waves reflect and refract, analogously to when light passes from water to air. Our study presents new mathematical tools for understanding this reflection and refraction, demonstrating reflection is substantially weaker when stability increases over “transition layers,” than when stability increases suddenly. Our results suggest the tropical tropopause reflects less gravity wave energy than previously thought, with potential design implications for weather and climate models, to be assessed in future work.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Although scientists agree that climate change is anthropogenic, differing interpretations of evidence in a highly polarized sociopolitical environment impact how individuals perceive climate change. While prior work suggests that individuals experience climate change through local conditions, there is a lack of consensus on how personal experience with extreme precipitation may alter public opinion on climate change. We combine high-resolution precipitation data at the zip-code level with nationally representative public opinion survey results (n = 4008) that examine beliefs in climate change and the perceived cause. Our findings support relationships between well-established value systems (i.e., partisanship, religion) and socioeconomic status with individual opinions of climate change, showing that these values are influential in opinion formation on climate issues. We also show that experiencing characteristics of atypical precipitation (e.g., more variability than normal, increasing or decreasing trends, or highly recurring extreme events) in a local area are associated with increased belief in anthropogenic climate change. This suggests that individuals in communities that experience greater atypical precipitation may be more accepting of messaging and policy strategies directly aimed at addressing climate change challenges. Thus, communication strategies that leverage individual perception of atypical precipitation at the local level may help tap into certain “experiential” processing methods, making climate change feel less distant. These strategies may help reduce polarization and motivate mitigation and adaptation actions.

Significance Statement
Public acceptance for anthropogenic climate change is hindered by how related issues are presented, diverse value systems, and information-processing biases. Personal experiences with extreme weather may act as a salient cue that impacts individuals’ perceptions of climate change. We couple a large, nationally representative public opinion dataset with station precipitation data at the zip-code level in the United States. Results are nuanced but suggest that anomalous and variable precipitation in a local area may be interpreted as evidence for anthropogenic climate change. So, relating atypical local precipitation conditions to climate change may help tap into individuals’ experiential processing, sidestep polarization, and tailor communications at the local level.

Abstract
Background
Tilapia is one of the most essential farmed fishes in the world. It is a tropical and subtropical freshwater fish well adapted to warm water but sensitive to cold weather. Extreme cold weather could cause severe stress and mass mortalities in tilapia. The present study was carried out to investigate the effects of cold stress on the up-regulation of antifreeze protein (AFP) genes in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Two treatment groups of fish were investigated (5 replicates of 15 fish for each group in fibreglass tanks/70 L each): 1) a control group; the fish were acclimated to lab conditions for two weeks and the water temperature was maintained at 25 °C during the whole experimental period with feeding on a commercial diet (30% crude protein). 2) Cold stress group; the same conditions as the control group except for the temperature. Initially, the temperature was decreased by one degree every 12 h. The fish started showing death symptoms when the water temperature reached 6–8 °C. In this stage the tissue (muscle) samples were taken from both groups. The immune response of fish exposed to cold stress was detected and characterized using Differential Display-PCR (DD-PCR).

Results
The results indicated that nine different up-regulation genes were detected in the cold-stressed fish compared to the control group. These genes are Integrin-alpha-2 (ITGA-2), Gap junction gamma-1 protein-like (GJC1), WD repeat-containing protein 59 isoform X2 (WDRP59), NUAK family SNF1-like kinase, G-protein coupled receptor-176 (GPR-176), Actin cytoskeleton-regulatory complex protein pan1-like (PAN-1), Whirlin protein (WHRN), Suppressor of tumorigenicity 7 protein isoform X2 (ST7P) and ATP-binding cassette sub-family A member 1-like isoform X2 (ABCA1). The antifreeze gene type-II amplification using a specific PCR product of 600 bp, followed by cloning and sequencing analysis revealed that the identified gene is antifreeze type-II, with similarity ranging from 70 to 95%. The in-vitro transcribed gene induced an antifreeze protein with a molecular size of 22 kDa. The antifreeze gene, ITGA-2 and the WD repeat protein belong to the lectin family (sugar–protein).

Conclusions
In conclusion, under cold stress, Nile tilapia express many defence genes, an antifreeze gene consisting of one open reading frame of approximately 0.6 kbp.
Successful palliative resection of giant epimyocardial lymphatic malformation with 14 years of follow-up: a case report
Authors: Heliö Krista , Weckström Sini , Kivistö Sari , Lohi Jouko , Heliö Tiina 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Background
Primary tumors of the heart are a rare phenomenon. Lymphatic malformations are congenital anomalies of the lymphatic system that tend to grow progressively. Lymphatic malformations are typically found in the cervical and axillary regions and found on pediatric patients. We report a 40-year-old woman with giant epimyocardial lymphatic malformation.

Case presentation
A 40-year-old woman was assessed due to suspected traumatic cardiac tamponade. Computed tomography of the heart and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging were compatible with either a large pericardial hemangioma or angiosarcoma. The tumor infiltrated deeply into the myocardium and could only be partially resected. Histopathological diagnosis was a cardiac lymphatic malformation with micro- and macrocystic components. The patient has remained asymptomatic for fourteen years after the surgery. In the latest follow-up, her left ventricular function had remained normal and the maximum thickness of the residual tumor had regressed.

Conclusions
Even when a complete removal of a cardiac lymphatic malformation is not possible, a debulking procedure can yield a good long-term result.
Intradialytic neuromuscular electrical stimulation with optional virtual reality distraction improves not only muscle strength and functional capacity but also serum albumin level in haemodialysis patients: a pilot randomized clinical trial
Authors: Schinner Lena , Nagels Klaus , Scherf Julia , Schmaderer Christoph , Heemann Uwe , Küchle Claudius , Hannemann Liya 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Background
Sarcopenia is highly prevalent in haemodialysis (HD) patients and linked to a poor prognosis regarding comorbidities and premature mortality. Previous studies assessed the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation in haemodialysis patients. This study adds to the relevance of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) applications combined with a virtual reality (VR) distraction to increase intensity, dosage, and efficiency of NMES and slow sarcopenia progression in HD patients.

Methods
We conducted a 12-week multicenter prospective randomised controlled trial. The patients were randomly assigned to one of the three groups: neuromuscular electrical stimulation with or without combined virtual reality distraction or control group.

Results
The final analysis included 32 haemodialysis patients (mean age of 68 ± 10 years, 26 men). Interaction effects between groups and time (12 weeks) were significant regarding serum albumin levels (p = 0.008) and left quadriceps femoris muscle (QFM) force (p = 0.026). Both endpoints were increased in the NMES compared to the CO group at the end of the intervention. The NMES group increased serum albumin levels significantly after 12 weeks. The main effect of time was an increase in mean right QFM force between beginning and end of the intervention (p = 0.021). Functional capacity improved after 12 weeks in the NMES and NMES + VR but not in the control group, with a significant difference between the three groups (p = 0.022). Weight and body mass index increased in the NMES and NMES + VR groups, albeit not significantly. The effects of VR distraction on NMES efficiency were inconclusive.

Conclusion
Intradialytic NMES increases serum albumin level, functional capacity, muscle strength in lower limb and in tendency weight and body mass index of HD patients. Effects on VR distraction are inconclusive. Large-scaled follow-up studies on integrated sports programs with NMES and active training in combination with VR as distraction and motivation accelerator are needed.

Abstract
Background
Aortic stenosis is the most common valvulopathy in Western countries. The treatment of choice had been surgery aortic valve replacement (SAVR), but the improvement in endovascular approaches as transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), initially reserved for patients with very high surgical risk, has been extended to high and intermediate, and recently also to low-risk patients. Stroke and vascular cognitive impairment are the most important complications. It is not entirely clear which technique is best to avoid these complications as well as their impact. Our goal is to evaluate changes in cognitive performance in the early (1-month) and late (1-year) postoperative period in patients undergoing SAVR or TAVI, by extensive neuropsychological study (NRP) and advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
Specifically, to compare early and late cognitive changes after the intervention between both groups, the occurrence of stroke during follow-up and to compare the appearance of silent vascular lesions and changes in brain activity and functional connectivity with functional MRI during follow-up between both groups.

Methods/design
Prospective longitudinal cohort study. A non-selected representative sample of 80 subjects, 40 SAVR and 40 TAVI to obtain a final sample of 36 eligible subjects in each group, ranging from 70 to 85 years old, with indication for aortic replacement and intermediate or high surgical risk will be studied. At baseline, within one month before the treatment, all individuals will undergo an extensive NRP and advanced MRI study. These studies will also be performed 1-month and 1-year after treatment, to assess the appearance of new vascular lesions, as well as changes in cognitive performance with respect to baseline.

Discussion
This study aims to evaluate changes in cognitive performance as well as both clinical and silent vascular events occurring in the early (1-month) and late (1-year) periods after SAVR and TAVI. We will also analyze the correlation between neuropsychological and neuroimaging approaches in order to evaluate cognition. Therefore, it may provide high-quality data of cognitive changes and vascular events for both techniques, and be useful to tailor interventions to individual characteristics and ultimately aiding in decision-making.

Trial registration
This study is register in Clinicaltrials.gov (NCT05235529) on 11th February 2022.
