Amplifying Latinx Students’ Voices about Bilingual Experiences: A Critical Metaphor Analysis
Authors: Magaña Dalia , Ramos Lorraine 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This study amplifies Latinx students’ voices about their bilingual experience in a Spanish in the U.S. course. We use conceptual metaphor theory to analyze how students conceptualize their bilingualism and reinforce or resist present language ideologies. The data consists of 50 writing samples: 25 autobiographical narratives and 25 sets of blog commentaries. We found 356 language-related conceptual metaphors. The most common framing was Spanish as a natural resource (e.g., root or plant), vulnerable to dissipating if neglected. Both English and Spanish are referred to as tools for success (e.g., opens doors). Students use journey metaphors to discuss the challenges of learning English, and describe English as an opponent. Finally, they personify language to express the “higher value” of bilinguals, potentially criticizing monolinguals. Understanding how students conceptualize their language situations and express ideologies through metaphor leads to a deeper understanding of their bilingual experiences. These findings also have implications for tailoring language pedagogy.
A Law One Hundred Years Young: The Interpretative Viability of the Ottoman Family Law in Palestine/Israel, 1917–2017
Authors: Shahar Ido 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
The article aims at illustrating the “interpretative viability” of the Ottoman Family Code of 1917—i.e., its susceptibility to changing interpretations—and to discuss some of the interpretative tools that qāḍīs have applied to it over the years. By tracing the changing implementation of Article 130 of this law (nizāʿ wa-shiqāq) by sharīʿa courts in Palestine/Israel over a period of one hundred years (1917–2017), the article shows that the codification of the sharīʿa did not produce a closed, immutable, monolithic legal system, but rather has provided qāḍīs with considerable interpretative freedom—much more than is commonly assumed. Moreover, the hermeneutic tools employed by qāḍīs to interpret the code build on earlier, pre-codification sources of pluralism and interpretative freedom within the sharīʿa. Thus, by highlighting the continuities between pre-codified and post-codified sharīʿa, the article aims at contributing to the debate concerning the transformation of the sharīʿa in modern times.
The Provisions Regarding the Rape and Seduction of an Unbetrothed Girl
Authors: Darabi Yuval 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This paper seeks to examine the relations between the singular provision on seduction of an unbetrothed girl in the Book of the Covenant and the sequence of provisions regarding illicit intercourse in Deut 22, which reach their peak with the provision on rape of an unbetrothed girl. It will suggest that an examination of the two passages and their various literary and legal contexts, along with a study of similar provisions in the ancient Near Eastern law collections and adherence to the legal logic guiding their articulation, should bring to the conclusion that the provision in the Book of the Covenant is later than, and dependent upon, the sequence of provisions in Deuteronomy, and is intended to complement it. This interpretive decision supports Van Seters’ view of the relationship between the Book of the Covenant and the Deuteronomic legislation.
Plotting Antiochus’s Death
Authors: Avneri Meir Rotem 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
According to Dan 11:45, the king of the north, recognizably Antiochus IV, dies in the area of Judea, bringing an end to his kingdom. The book of Daniel thus provides a unique, although historically inaccurate, perspective on the downfall of the Seleucid Empire. In this article I show that this account uses two Danielic kings—Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar—as models for Antiochus’s actions and thus exposes a literary pattern used to portray the king’s end. I argue that doing so, Dan 11 is more interested in reflecting on kingship in Judea in the post-Seleucid period than conveying historical information. Finally, I explore the implications of this reading on our understanding of Daniel’s historical settings.
Mary Magdalene and the Dangers of White Feminism
Authors: Warren Meredith J. C. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
The film Mary Magdalene (2018) has been praised for its focus on one of Jesus’ most overlooked followers. But the film includes subtly negative depictions of Jewishness as well as problematic depictions of Black characters. Despite the film’s stated attempts to reflect first-century contexts, cinematic decisions reinforce harmful stereotypes about Judaism and about Black men. Viewing the film in light of historical Christian-feminist anti-Judaism on the one hand, and on the other, the figure of the ‘Karen’, a white woman who polices the presence and behaviour of Black people, this article investigates the ways in which Mary Magdalene is characterized in line with white feminism, and as such, the ways in which this white Mary is weaponized against Jews and Black people.
The Great Chasm of Luke 16:26 and Its Interpretations in Byzantine Patristics
Authors: Kurdybaylo Dmitry 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
The ‘great chasm’ mentioned in Luke 16:26 is a hapax legomenon in the New Testament. However, the same wording appears in the Theogony of Hesiod and in several later classical Greek writings, which connect the great chasm with the mythology of the underworld or some metaphysical conceptions. Byzantine exegetes of Luke could hardly avoid correlating Luke’s great chasm with its long history in the pagan culture. Thus, several exegetical paths were developed. Origen, with several followers, omit the great chasm at all. Comparing this fact with later anti-Origenian polemic writings, it is plausible that Luke 16:26 was used to argue the rejection of the doctrine of apokatastasis. Other writers, prone to apokatastatic position, such as Didymus the Blind and Gregory of Nyssa, introduced interpretations of the great chasm that unite ethical and metaphysical perspectives. Gregory of Nazianzus and Maximus the Confessor brought allegorical interpretations of the great chasm to the highest level of generalisation. The evolution of understanding the great chasm reveals the shift in the conceptions of a human soul’s destiny and afterlife, its fate and deliverance from it.
Mourning and non-ordered religious behaviour in the tombs of Philip the Bold, John the Fearless and Margaret of Bavaria
Authors: Murray Andrew 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
The tomb of the Burgundian duke Philip the Bold in Dijon, designed by the Haarlem-born sculptor Claus Sluter, holds a key position in the development of Western funerary art, especially on account of the lively and moving depiction of the cortège of weepers around the tomb. In this monument it is they who provide an example to their beholders – namely, how to mourn the deceased ruler. Not only do these expressive statuettes encourage the viewer to pray for Philip’s soul, but they also evoke the actual funeral liturgy of the duke. While the clerical mourners move in a single direction and form a procession, the lay figures seem to move more freely, directing themselves towards the tomb’s onlookers and stimulating them to pray for Philip’s afterlife. This conflation of transitional and everlasting rituals expresses a duality in late Gothic attitudes towards death.
Encountering Adam and Eve at the Apocalypse
Authors: Stinebring Anna-Claire 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This essay deals with Jan Sanders van Hemessen’s Last Judgment of 1537-1539. This triptych was commissioned by Adriaan Rockox and his wife for their family chapel in Saint James’s church in Antwerp. As mentioned above, altarpieces – mostly triptychs – are prominent examples of art made for the purpose of remembrance in the Catholic tradition. They served to stimulate contemplation of death and afterlife, as well as prayer for the salvation of the dead. Van Hemessen, no doubt in concordance with the wishes of his patrons, enhances this purpose by taking the Last Judgment for the subject of the central panel. According to Stinebring, his representation is one of ‘hopeful anticipation’, particularly of the entire corporeal or fleshly. The central scene differs from traditional renderings in several respects. Out of the ordinary and literally eye-catching, due to their size and sensual anatomy, are a number of nudes, both male and female, damned and blessed, that dominate the foreground.
The stones and the crown
Authors: Dekoninck Ralph 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Ralph Dekoninck focuses on this painting’s dramatic display of suffering and death of the first martyr of Christianity as a case study in the paradox of the performative strategy of ‘sacred horror’ in the context of Tridentine reform. In this large altarpiece, Dekoninck identifies the coincidence of abjection and glory as a reflexive topos through which martyr, painter, and beholder are bound in a complex visual erotics. The troubling beauty of violence, which simultaneously repels and draws the viewer nearer to the image, invites an inner emulation of the holy, bodily sacrifice which does not deform the figure, in Rubens’s image, but instead perfects his physical appearance as a visible embodiment of supreme spiritual attainment. Dekoninck reads this attainment in terms of neo-Stoic philosophy current in Rubens’s circle, which provides a means to understand how the ‘horrific display’ of martyrdom serves to confirm both the sanctity of the portrayed and the efficacy of the image.
An Experiment in Thought
Authors: Clouser Roy 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This paper presents a new argument against philosophical theories based on arguments in favor of ontological reductions. The argument is an experiment in thought that has transcendental force, because it demonstrates the impossibility of forming a concept of anything with a reductionist nature. So although we consider as examples only theories that try to reduce everything in accordance with the currently popular materialisms or dualism, the argument applies as well to every sort of reduction theory whatever.
Ṭaşköprüzāde Ahmed Efendi’s Commentary on the Ethical Philosophy of ʿAḍud al-Dīn al-Ījī: Theory and Praxis of Muslim Philosophical Ethics in the Sixteenth Century
Authors: Salem (فريال سالم) Feryal 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
The ethical treatise of ʿAḍud al-Dīn al-Ījī (d. 756/1355), al-Akhlāq al-ʿAḍudiyya, is a key work in the genre of Muslim philosophical ethics whose primary significance includes the numerous lengthy commentaries extant until today, which depict the ethical discourse over a long period of time from a wide range of Muslim settings. As a prominent Ashʿarī and Shāfiʿī scholar of the Īlkhānid era, al-Ījī’s work played an important role in the continuation of the intellectual genealogy of writers on ethical philosophy, that includes Ibn Sīnā (Avicenna, d. 428/1037), Miskawayh (d. 421/1030), al-Ghazālī (d. 505/1111), and al-Ṭūsī (d. 672/1274). As al-Ījī’s ethics became prevalent within the realm of Ottoman scholarship, the impact of this treatise moved beyond Central Asia and Iran and into the Ottoman scholastic networks, where the commentaries on al-Akhlāq al-ʿAḍudiyya were studied. This article demonstrates facets of ethical philosophy during the tenth/sixteenth century by examining the commentary of a prominent Ottoman scholar of this era, namely Ṭaşköprüzāde (d. 968/1561), on al-Ījī’s treatise on ethics.
Case Studies of Two Exemplar Engineering-Focused Elementary Schools
Authors: Peters-Burton Erin E. , Peters Vanessa , Swart James W. , Stehle Stephanie M. , Laclede Laura 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
As the prevalence of integrated STEM education increases worldwide, some elementary schools in the United States have converted their programs to be more STEM-focused. This study examines the practices of two highly regarded STEM-focused elementary schools that focus on engineering education. The resulting case studies of the school explain their engineering programming, teacher professional development, and the way they situate growth mindset to integrate an engineering design process across content areas. These schools have successfully sustained the integration of engineering education by partnering with engineers and engineering educators outside of the school, providing a conducive environment for teacher collaboration, and enhance growth mindset for the school community by using the lens of engineering design. Administrators, teachers, and students all used an engineering design cycle to learn and solve problems. The systems found at these schools have the potential be transferred into other school settings wanting to amplify their STEM offerings.
STEM Integration in Primary School
Authors: Chen Yu , So Winnie Wing Mui 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This study investigated 14 Hong Kong primary school teachers’ conceptions of and concerns about the implementation of integrated STEM education in primary school. Data were collected through concept maps and interviews with the teachers. Results revealed that in addition to representing STEM as simplistic models (e.g., STEM as an acronym), the teachers mostly seemed to model STEM integration conceptually using integrated disciplines, science as context, or real-world problem solving as context. Not many teachers were found to represent STEM using engineering design progress as context. Results also indicated that the teachers expressed intense concerns regarding personal inadequacy of STEM knowledge or skills (personal), student outcomes of STEM education (consequence), and limited instructional time (management). This study suggested providing sustained teacher professional development, creating supportive school environments, and building a collaborative STEM community as strategies to facilitate changes in teachers’ concerns and to advance STEM implementation in primary schools.
Eustachian Tube Dysfunction in Children with Adenoid Hypertrophy: The Effect of Intranasal Azelastine-Fluticasone Spray Treatment on Middle Ear Ventilation and Adenoid Tissue
Authors: Bilgili Ahmet Mert , Durmaz Hacı Ömer , Dilber Muhammet 
Published: November 2022

Objectives Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) is frequent in children with adenoid hypertrophy (AH). Although the most common treatment of AH is surgical removal of adenoid tissue, numerous studies have reported the efficacy of intranasal steroids. The effects of the intranasal steroid and azelastine combination on AH and ETD have not been reported before. In this study, we tried to determine the effects of 3-month intranasal Azelastine-Fluticasone dipropionate combination (Aze-Flu) treatment in children with ETD and AH. Materials and Methods 100 children who had open mouth sleep, snoring, and sleep apnea and were diagnosed with AH and ETD participated in this study. The mean age was 7.73 ± 2.37 (4–14 years). The rates of adenoid tissue hypertrophy and choanal occlusion were evaluated using a rigid pediatric nasal endoscope and reassessed after 3 months of Aze-Flu nasal spray treatment. The function of the Eustachian tube (ET) was evaluated before and after medical treatment using the Eustachian tube score, the Eustachian dysfunction test-7 (ETS-7) and tubomanometry (TMM). Results The results were evaluated in 100 patients with AH and ETD. The adenoid tissue to choana rate was 82% before treatment and decreased to 37% after treatment. The ETS-7 test score was 6.36 before treatment and increased to 9.72 at the end of 3 months. Both the regression of the adenoid tissue and the improvement in the Eustachian function scores were statistically significant (p < 0.05). Conclusions AH significantly increases the frequency of ETD. In this study, it was observed that Aze-Flu treatment was significantly effective in both regression of the adenoid tissue and Eustachian tube dysfunction. We believe that it can be applied as an initial therapy in children with AH and associated ETD.
Dance-Specific Activity in People Living With Dementia: A Conceptual Framework and Systematic Review of Its Effects on Neuropsychiatric Symptoms
Authors: Schroeder Henning , Haussermann Peter , Fleiner Tim 
Published: November 2022

Objectives Dance as a non-pharmacological therapy is commonly used in dementia care, although the evidence of its effects remains unclear. This study systematically reviewed the effects of dance interventions on neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) in people living with dementia. To systematically identify and evaluate dance interventions, a standardized terminology for Dance-Specific Activity (DSA) is proposed. Methods Literature search was conducted on electronic databases until April 30th 2021. Studies were included when they quantified the effects of DSA on NPS in people with clinical diagnosis of dementia. Included studies were analyzed in detail for NPS. Study quality was assessed by PEDro scale (German version). Results 4 studies were included. The studies differed in study design, intervention protocols, dance styles, or measurement tools, and were generally of low study quality. Two trials showed improvements in NPS and 2 trials showed no exacerbation of NPS after DSA. Conclusions The results of the 4 available trials indicate a positive tendency towards the effects of DSA, but considering the limitations of the few available studies, a clear statement about the effects of DSA is not possible yet. Based on the included trials, the following implications for clinical research and routine care can be derived: (1) DSA seems to be a practical terminology for identifying dance interventions (2) DSA seems to be a safe intervention for people living with dementia. (3) Different dance styles can be used. (4) DSA approaches should be better structured by differentiating between the domains type, content, intention, and protocol of the intervention.

Published: November 2022

Using both endoscope and exoscope in cleft soft palate surgery is not widespread, despite the potential advantages related to view magnification, ergonomic posture of the surgeon, and involvement of the surgical team. The aim of the current study is to compare endoscopic (Olympus Visera©) and exoscopic (Karl-Storz Vitom©) assistance in cleft soft palate surgery in a preclinical cadaver setting. A formalin fixed specimen was dissected to mimic the anatomical conditions of a cleft soft palate. Ten young surgeons with limited experience in transoral surgery were involved in the exercitation on the specimen. The exercitation consisted of 4 tasks: (1) device setting; (2) identification of muscle plane; (3) muscle suturing; (4) oral mucosa suturing. Participants were timed while performing each task both with exoscope and endoscope and asked to fill in 2 questionnaires related to the visual systems used (NASA Task Load System TLS and VAS 1-10). All surgeons completed the 4 tasks with both the endoscope and exoscope. The execution times were similar except for faster setting of the exoscope. Participants felt that completing surgical exercises using the exoscope required less physical, intellectual, and temporal efforts compared to the endoscope. The exoscope was also more appreciated for its handling, 3D visualization, and limited encumbrance. Exoscope scored better both at NASA TLS and VAS 1-10 and required a faster setting than endoscope. Further clinical in-vivo studies are required to explore the advantages of these devices in cleft palate repair.
Perceived Social Support on the Relationship Between ADD/ADHD and Both Anxious and Depressive Symptoms Among Canadian Adults
Authors: Connolly Ross D. , Lamont Allyson , Speed David 
Published: November 2022

Objective: The primary goal of the present research was to examine whether the relationships that social support demonstrates with both anxiety and depression varied between adults with and without ADD/ADHD in a Canadian sample. Method: Data were obtained from the 2012 Canadian Community Health Survey–Mental Health ( N ≥ 16,354). Presence of social support, diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and experience of major depressive episodes (MDEs) were estimated in the self-report ADD/ADHD and non-ADD/ADHD groups. Results: Although social support was negatively associated with having GAD or experiencing an MDE, and self-report ADD/ADHD was positively associated with these outcomes. Presence of self-report ADD/ADHD did not significantly modify the relationships between social support and GAD or MDE. Conclusion: Social support may be a protective factor against symptoms of anxiety and depression in the general Canadian population, for adults with and without ADHD.

Published: November 2022

In order to stay up-to-date in the nursing field, nurses must pursue continuous education. This study examined nurses’ motivations to take part in continuing education activities by conducting a survey amongst a sample of nurses employed in two hospitals in south-east Morocco. The survey was carried out using a two-part self-administered questionnaire. Out of 144 nurses who received the questionnaire, 118 (84%) replied. The results showed that the majority of nurses have never participated in a continuing education session in the last 3 years. Respondents’ motivation for continuing education was mainly intrinsic, with the emphasis on factors related to professional competence and knowledge seeking. The use of such results can therefore be of great use to both managers and practitioners in planning continuing education programmes. However, it is desirable that more studies take place to investigate further the issue of continuing education with the aim of promoting and developing professional nursing skills.
Association of serum biochemical indexes and thyroid nodule with disease activity in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria
Authors: Su Yuan-Ting , Cui Wei 
Published: November 2022

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the correlation of serum biochemical indexes with disease activity and pruritus in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). Methods: Fifty CSU patients were enrolled and 50 health screen examinees were recruited as the control group. Peripheral blood samples were collected, and thyroid colour Doppler ultrasounds were recorded. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated for both groups. The urticaria activity score over 7 days (UAS-7) was used to evaluate the disease activity and degree of pruritus. Results: There was no significant difference in BMI between CSU patients and control ( p > .05). The serum WBC, NEU, CRP (all p = .000) and ALT levels ( p = .013) in the CSU patients were significantly higher than those in the healthy control group, and the UAS-7 score was positively correlated with WBC and NEU in the CSU patient group. The TG level of the CSU group was higher than healthy controls, albeit no statistical significance ( p = .522). The levels of T3 and TSH were significantly lower in the CSU group ( p = .000). The incidence rate of thyroid nodules in the CSU patients was significantly higher ( p = .045), and four CSU patients showed papillary carcinoma by pathology examination. The average UAS-7 score of patients with complications was significantly higher than that of patients without complications. Conclusion: Patients experiencing CSU generally exhibit abnormal serum biochemical indexes and thyroid function. Their incidence rates of thyroid nodule and thyroid papillary carcinoma are significantly higher than that of healthy subjects, which should be considered in clinical practice.
