Buddhism and Orientalism
Authors: Harris Elizabeth 
Published: January 2023

Orientalists (Westerners who studied Asian cultures) arose in the period of European expansionism. Their passion was to produce knowledge of the languages, literatures, religions, and philosophies of the “East.” The Palestinian American Edward Said (b. 1935–d. 2003) was the first to theorize this activity, placing it within cultural and political studies with the argument that orientalism was a tool of Western global domination and manipulation. It was complicit with Western colonialism and distorted and restructured the “East” in order to exert power over it. Said focused on the Middle East and Islam. He gave little credit to the agency of those who were the objects of orientalism and was dismissive of the motivation of orientalists. His argument was then extended by others to cover religions such as Buddhism. Saidian scholars of Buddhist history argued that orientalism mined Buddhism to serve Western interests, textualized and reified it, and even introduced to Buddhists the idea that their religious practice formed a separate “religion.” Said’s argument forms the bottom line of the contemporary study of Buddhism and orientalism but has been contested, particularly by those who argue that the production of knowledge about Buddhism during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries was neither the product of the dominant West nor Asia alone but rather of their interaction within the context of modernism. What is beyond doubt is that the activity of Western orientalists in these centuries gave birth to new formulations of Buddhism both in Asia and the West that have been given different labels: Protestant Buddhism, Buddhist Revivalism, Buddhist Modernism, Westernized Buddhism. This bibliography includes primary sources, namely the writings of orientalists up to the early twentieth century, and contemporary scholarship within the field of Buddhism and orientalism. It recognizes that not only Buddhist studies in the West but also some Western Buddhist communities were children of orientalism and are still influenced by it. However, it also recognizes that orientalist representations of Buddhism were diverse, influenced variously by Western rationalism and scientific method, Christian missionary activity, and Western interest in spiritualism, the esoteric, and the occult. It should be remembered that the items listed in each section are illustrative and not comprehensive.
BVRI polarization of stars in the direction of Stock 19

Published: January 2023

Abstract
We present BVRI polarimetric measurements of nine bright stars in a 15′-square region centered on Stock 19. Seven of them satisfy the Serkowski equation for star light polarization due to interstellar dust. This allowed us to estimate the degree of maximum polarization (pmax) and the wavelength of maximum polarization (λmax). Along this line of sight, pmax ranges from 0.332% to 0.948%, and the average λmax of 0.542 ± 0.018 μm yields a total-to-selective extinction ratio RV = 3.04 ± 0.11. Four of the observed stars were previously listed as high-probability members of Stock 19. However, based on their Gaia distances, they are spread out along the line of sight and show a correlation between polarization and distance that is typical for the diffuse interstellar medium. The extinction, as obtained from dust maps, and the Planck 353 GHz polarization are low for this line of sight, additionally suggesting that these stars might not represent an actual cluster. The polarization parameters of three of the observed stars indicate the possible presence of an intrinsic polarization component, likely due to circumstellar material.
Fear in the mind’s eye: the neural correlates of differential fear acquisition to imagined conditioned stimuli
Authors: Burleigh Lauryn , Greening Steven G 
Published: January 2023

AbstractMental imagery is involved in both the expression and treatment of fear-related disorders such as anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. However, the neural correlates associated with the acquisition and generalization of differential fear conditioning to imagined conditioned stimuli are relatively unknown. In this study, healthy human participants (n = 27) acquired differential fear conditioning to imagined conditioned stimuli paired with a physical unconditioned stimulus (i.e. mild shock), as measured via self-reported fear, the skin conductance response and significant right anterior insula (aIn) activation. Multivoxel pattern analysis cross-classification also demonstrated that the pattern of activity in the right aIn during imagery acquisition was quantifiably similar to the pattern produced by standard visual acquisition. Additionally, mental imagery was associated with significant differential fear generalization. Fear conditioning acquired to imagined stimuli generalized to viewing those same stimuli as measured with self-reported fear and right aIn activity, and likewise fear conditioning to visual stimuli was associated with significant generalized differential self-reported fear and right aIn activity when imagining those stimuli. Together, the study provides a novel understanding of the neural mechanisms associated with the acquisition of differential fear conditioning to imagined stimuli and that of the relationship between imagery and emotion more generally.
Swiss estates and (offshore) trusts: information gathering—recent Swiss case law
Authors: Wüstemann Tina 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Trustees, foundations, banks, asset managers or tax advisors are often confronted with information requests from heirs of a Swiss estate. In this article, the author provides an overview of the heirs’ rights to information under Swiss contract law and Swiss succession law. She then focuses on a recent decision of the Swiss Federal Supreme Court (case 5A_30/2020), which addresses a claim for information by an executor against a financial institution in possession of trust information. The Swiss Supreme Court clarified in this decision on which basis an heir or an executor of a Swiss estate may lodge an information claim against a Swiss bank with regard to trust accounts or similar financial institutions holding financial information, of which the deceased was not the legal owner but only the beneficial owner.
Ordinary People and the 1979 Royal Commission on the NHS
Authors: Arnold-Forster Agnes 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
In June 1979, the Royal Commission on the National Health Service published its report. Chaired by Sir Alec Merrison, the Commission covered England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. In 1976, the Royal Commission published and broadcast calls, asking the public to put forward their views on the NHS. In response, they received around 2,460 written evidence submissions, held fifty-eight oral evidence sessions, and met with about 2,800 individuals. In soliciting evidence, the Commission called on people to comment on their experience of the health service, submit that experience as evidence, and contribute suggestions for the NHS’s improvement. These submissions of evidence, mostly in the form of letters written to Merrison, are rich and revealing sources. While NHS staff, trade unionists, and professional organizations were invited to contribute their perspectives, patients and other non-clinical members of the British public also penned letters. In this article, I use the evidence submitted by self-proclaimed ‘ordinary’ people to contribute to emerging discussions about post-war British citizenship, and its intimate or quotidian relationship to the welfare state. I use these submissions as evidence for popular anxieties in the 1970s, and to explore the various ways that British citizens experienced and engaged with the NHS; investigate how they felt about its services; and consider the affective and political function of complaint.
Time for Clean Energy? Cleaner Fuels and Women’s Time in Home Production

Published: January 2023

AbstractIn much of the developing world, cooking accounts for the largest share of women’s time in home production. Does relying on solid fuels drive this time burden? This study revisits a clean energy information experiment in rural India to assess the time savings’ potential of cleaner cooking technologies. Treatment villages were randomly assigned to receive information about negative health effects of cooking with solid fuels and about public subsidies for cleaner liquid petroleum gas (LPG). Time-use data indicate that primary cooks spend almost 24 hours cooking each week. Cleaner fuel use is correlated with about 140 minutes less cooking time each week. Yet households only reduce their weekly cooking time by about 35 minutes in response to the randomized clean energy information nudge. Factors limiting the impact of clean energy nudges on the choice of home production technologies and time use are discussed and an avenue for future research is suggested.

Published: January 2023

Background:
Given the known disparities in COVID-19 within the Hispanic/Latinx community, we sought to examine the interaction between individual-level and neighborhood-level social determinants of health using linked electronic health record data.

Methods:
We examined electronic health record data linked to neighborhood data among Hispanic/Latinx patients tested for COVID-19 between March 1, 2020, and February 28, 2021, from 2 large health care systems in San Francisco. Hispanic/Latinx ethnic enclave is measured using an index of census-tract level indicators of ethnicity, nativity, and language. Multilevel logistic regression models examined associations between ethnic enclave and COVID-19 positivity (COVID-19+), adjusting for patient-level sociodemographic and clinical characteristics and health system. Cross-level interactions were used to test whether associations between ethnic enclave and COVID-19+ differed by patient language preference.

Results:
Among 26,871 patients, mean age was 37 years, 56% had Spanish-language preference, and 21% were COVID-19+. In unadjusted models, patients living in the highest versus lowest Hispanic/Latinx enclave had 3.2 higher odds of COVID-19+ (95% CI, 2.45–4.24). Adjusted, the relationship between ethnic enclave and COVID-19+ was attenuated, but not eliminated (odds ratio: 1.4; 95% CI, 1.13–1.17). Our results demonstrated a significant cross-level interaction, such that the influence of ethnic enclave was modified by patient language preference. For individuals with Spanish-language preference, risk of COVID-19+ was high regardless of neighborhood context, whereas for those with English preference, neighborhood ethnic enclave more than doubled the odds of infection.

Conclusions:
Findings suggest that a multilevel and intersectional approach to the study of COVID-19 inequities may illuminate dimensions of health inequity that affect marginalized communities and offer insights for targeted clinical and community-based interventions.
Evaluation of the Common bile duct (CBD) Diameter After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (LC) and Laparoscopic Common Bile Duct Exploration (LCBDE)

Published: January 2023

Background:
Common Bile duct (CBD) measurement is a crucial aspect in the evaluation of the biliary tree. Whether the CBD undergoes any compensatory change in diameter after laparoscopic cholecystectomy or laparoscopic common bile duct exploration is still up for discussion. The aim of this study was to investigate CBD diameter changes after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) on magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP).

Materials and Methods:
Our retrospective study is divided into 2 sections. The first part assessing CBD diameter changes after laparoscopic cholecystectomy due to gallstones or gallbladder polyps, involved 85 patients, who underwent MRCP procedures. These patients aged between 30 and 85 were divided into an interval LC group (group A, n=56) and a remote LC group (group B, n=29). In group A, the common CBD diameters were measured at their widest portions on MRCP obtained before and after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Measurements of the CBD diameters were repeated on MRCP obtained twice after the surgery in group B.
Section 2 consisted of 38 patients who had choledocholithiasis and were treated with laparoscopic CBD exploration and T-tube placement. These patients aged 26 to 86 formed the interval LCBDE group (group C). The CBD widest diameters were measured on MRCP before LCBDE and after T-tube cholangiography for these individuals.
Patients in groups A and C were further divided into 5 and those in group B into 4 age-related subgroups to facilitate statistical analysis. The Pearson correlation test was performed to find any relationship between CBD diameters and age in groups A and B. Paired sample T test was used to compare the significant difference between the 2 sets of CBD diameters in each study group and their subgroups.

Results:
In the interval LC group, the post-LC mean CBD diameter was significantly wider when compared with the preoperative mean diameter (P<0.05). There was a significant difference between the first and second post-LC means CBD diameter in the remote LC group (P<0.05). In group C, the mean CBD diameter measured on T-tube cholangiography after LCBDE was significantly smaller than the preoperative dilated mean diameter (P<0.05).

Conclusions:
This study demonstrated significant dilation occurring in the common bile duct diameter after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Furthermore, our remote LC group also supported that claim by showing significant dilation between the first and second post-cholecystectomy CBD diameter values. And lastly, our interval LCBDE sample’s initial dilation of the CBD diameters was reduced after surgery and stone extraction.
The obstacle problem in no-tension structures and cable nets
Authors: Amendola Ada , Mattei Ornella , Milton Graeme W. , Seppecher Pierre 
Published: January 2023

We consider the problem of finding a net that supports prescribed point forces, yet avoids certain obstacles, with all the elements of the net being under compression (or all being under tension), and being confined within a suitable bounding box. In the case of masonry structures, when described through the simple, no-tension constitutive model, this consists, for instance, in finding a strut net that supports the forces, is contained within the physical structure, and avoids regions that may be not accessible. We solve such a problem in the two-dimensional case, where the prescribed forces are applied at the vertices of a convex polygon, and we treat the cases of both single and multiple obstacles. By approximating the obstacles by polygonal regions, the task reduces to identifying the feasible domain in a linear programming problem. For a single obstacle we show how the region

Γ

available to the obstacle can be enlarged as much as possible in the sense that there is no other strut net, having a region

Γ
′

available to the obstacle with

Γ

. The case where some of the forces are reactive is also treated.
Rheomergy
: collective behaviour mediated by active flow-based recruitment
Authors: Ganga Prasath S. , Mahadevan L. 
Published: January 2023

The physics of signal propagation in a collection of organisms that communicate with each other both enables and limits how active excitations at the individual level reach, recruit and lead to collective patterning. Inspired by the spatio-temporal patterns in a planar swarm of bees that use pheromones and fanning flows to recruit additional bees, we develop a theoretical framework for patterning via active flow-based recruitment. Our model generalizes the well-known Patlak–Keller–Segel model of diffusion dominated aggregation and leads to an enhanced phase space of patterns spanned by two dimensionless parameters that measure the scaled stimulus/activity and the scaled chemotactic response. Together these determine the efficacy of signal communication via fluid flow (which we dub
rheomergy
) that leads to a variety of migration and aggregation patterns, consistent with observations.

AbstractBackgroundof this study is to know about the students’ satisfaction level regarding clinical learning environment.MethodologyA descriptive cross-sectional study design was conducted in Peshawar, KPK. Participants were selected from different semester by using random sampling technique. The data was collected through modified questionnaire.ResultsA total of 140 nursing students of BSN and post RN participated in which male were 54 (38.6%) and female were 86 (61.4%). The average age of the study participants was 24.41 years with a SD 5.194. The total male participants were 54, among 3 (5.5%) of them were dissatisfied from their clinical environment, 46 (85.1%) were satisfied and 5 (9.2%) were highly satisfied from their clinical environment. On the other hand among total female participant 86, among 2 (2.3%) of them were dissatisfied, 72 (83.7%) were satisfied and 12 (13.9%) participants were highly satisfied from their clinical environment.ConclusionThe current study conducted in two nursing colleges, focused on satisfaction level regarding clinical environment. The result showed that the satisfaction level was in ascending order as the junior students were least satisfied. Most satisfied students were from senior most classes. The study shows the need for further research work on factors affecting satisfaction level in order to help the low level of satisfaction amongst junior classes’ students.
Inspiration of SARS-CoV-2 envelope protein mutations on pathogenicity of Omicron XBB

Published: January 2023

AbstractPredicting pathogenicity of Omicron sub-variants is critical for assessing disease dynamics and developing public health strategies. As an important virulence factor, SARS-CoV-2 envelope protein (2-E) causes cell death and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)-like pathological damages. Evaluation of 2-E mutations might offer clues to pathogenicity forecast. Here, the frequency and cell lethality of 92 mutations of 2-E in five early “variants of concern” (VOCs, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Omicron BA.1, BA.2, BA.3, BA.4, and BA.5) were analyzed, which could be divided into three classes. Most (87) mutations belong to Class I, no obvious frequency changes. Class II consists of 2 mutations, exhibiting enhanced cell lethality but decreased frequency. The rest 3 mutations in Class III were characterized by attenuated cell lethality and increased frequency. Remarkably, the Class II mutations are always observed in the VOCs with high disease severity while the Class III mutations are highly conserved in the VOCs with weakened pathogenicity. For example, P71L, the most lethal mutation, dropped to nearly 0.00% in the milder Omicrons from 99.12% in Beta, while the less lethal mutation T9I, sharply increased to 99.70% in BA.1 and is highly conserved in BA.1-5. Accordingly, we proposed that some key 2-E mutations are pathogenicity markers of the virus. Notably, the highly contagious Omicron XBB retained T9I also. In addition, XBB gained a new dominant-negative mutation T11A with frequency 90.52%, exhibiting reduced cell lethality, cytokine induction and viral production capabilitiesin vitro, and particularly weakened lung damages in mice. No mutations with enhanced cell lethality were observed in XBB. These clues imply a further weakened pathogenicity of XBB among Omicron sub-variants.

AbstractAlternative Polyadenylation (APA) is an emerging mechanism for dynamic changes in gene expression. Previously, we described widespread APA occurrence in introns during the DNA damage response (DDR). Here, we show that a DNA damage activated APA event occurs in the first intron ofCDKN1A, inducing an alternate last exon (ALE)-containing lncRNA. We named this lncRNA SPUD (Selective Polyadenylation Upon Damage). SPUD localizes to polysomes in the cytoplasm and is detectable as multiple isoforms in available high throughput studies. SPUD has low abundance compared to the CDKN1A full-length isoform and is induced in cancer and normal cells under a variety of DNA damaging conditions in part through p53 transcriptional activation. RNA binding protein (RBP) HuR and the transcriptional repressor CTCF regulate SPUD levels. SPUD induction increases p21 protein, but not CDKN1A full-length levels, affecting p21 functions in cell-cycle, CDK2 expression, and cell viability. Like CDKN1A full-length isoform, SPUD can bind two competitive p21 translational regulators, the inhibitor calreticulin and the activator CUGBP1; SPUD can change their association with CDKN1A full-length in a DDR-dependent manner. Together, these results show a new regulatory mechanism by which a lncRNA controls p21 expression post-transcriptionally, highlighting lncRNA relevance in DDR progression and cellcycle.
