Basque in Instagram: A scalar approach to vernacularisation and normativity
Authors: Elordui Agurtzane , Aiestaran Jokin 
Published: April 2022

AbstractThis article analyses vernacularisation as a sociolinguistic change that brings with it an ideological fracturing of previous standard/vernacular indexical relations. It considers this ideological shift in the polycentric environment of social networks as mediated spaces where the values and functions of languages and varieties are re‐evaluated and brought together. We argue that Instagram is a fertile space to study the hierarchies among Basque varieties which could reveal a sociolinguistic change among the Basque youth. In our stylistic and ethnographic research, we draw the data from the corpus of the Gaztesare project that contains the production in Instagram of 30 Basque university students. The discussion highlights the difficulty to give a simple answer to the question of what ‘best’ language is, and it underlines the importance of a multi‐scalar perspective to explore the complex and multidimensional ideological schemes of the Basque youth and to detect new values and hierarchies among Basque varieties.
Why Rickert? Regarding the dogma about Heinrich Rickert's influence on Max Weber
Authors: Adair‐Toteff Christopher 
Published: April 2022

AbstractFor almost a century, scholars have held the conviction that Max Weber's methodology was based upon neo‐Kantian philosophy. This belief was founded on the idea that Weber's methodology was dependent on the neo‐Kantianism of Weber's Freiburg colleague and friend Heinrich Rickert. This idea began with Rickert himself and then was promoted by his student Alexander von Schelting. This belief was then passed down through numerous American scholars to the point that today, sociologists have the conviction that Weber's writings on method are tied directly to those of Rickert. In light of this, one may suggest that this conviction has been transformed into dogma. However, as will be demonstrated in this essay, Weber's methodological ideas are fundamentally different from those of Rickert and that is based upon the fact that Weber's methodological goals were fundamentally different from those of Rickert.

Published: April 2022

AbstractBackgroundSerum concentrations of 25‐hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)VD) and C‐reactive protein (CRP) and von Willebrand's factor (vWF) concentration correlate with histopathologic disease grade and stage in chronic inflammatory and fibrotic hepatopathies (CH) in humans.ObjectivesTo evaluate serum 25(OH)VD and serum CRP concentrations and plasma vWF concentration and determine if they correlate with histopathologic and biochemical variables in dog with CH.AnimalsTwenty‐three client‐owned dogs with a histopathologic diagnosis of CH were prospectively enrolled.MethodsBlood samples were collected before liver biopsy. Correlations between biomarkers and clinical pathological and histopathologic variables were evaluated using Pearson's or Spearman's test.ResultsSerum 25(OH)VD concentration (median, 213 nmol/L; range, 42‐527 nmol/L) was negatively correlated with serum aspartate aminotransferase activity (AST; rho = −0.59, P < .01), polymorphonuclear neutrophil count (PMN; r = −0.46, P < .05), and positively correlated with serum albumin concentration (r = 0.69, P < .001). Serum CRP concentration (median, 7.4 μg/L; range, 1‐44.9 μg/L) was positively correlated with overall histopathologic necroinflammatory activity (r = 0.78, P < .001) and fibrosis score (rho = 0.49, P < .05). Plasma vWF concentration (median, 73.3%; range, 15‐141%) was positively correlated with fibrosis score (r = 0.53, P < .05) and prothrombin time (rho = 0.67, P < .01), and negatively correlated with serum albumin concentration (r = −0.73, P < .001).Conclusion and Clinical ImportanceIn dogs with CH, serum 25(OH)VD concentration was negatively correlated with disease activity, whereas serum CRP concentration and plasma vWF concentration were positively correlated with histopathologic grade and stage. Our results provide preliminary evidence that these biomarkers may be useful to assess grade and stage of CH in dogs in the absence of liver biopsy.

AbstractIt has been suggested that pets play a critical role in the maintenance of methicillin‐resistant (MR) and multidrug‐resistant (MDR) Staphylococcus spp. in the household. We examined risk factors for carriage of antimicrobial‐resistant coagulase‐positive staphylococci, with particular attention to Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus pseudintermedius isolated from pets living in households of people diagnosed with methicillin‐resistant S. aureus (MRSA) skin or soft‐tissue infection. We analyzed data collected cross‐sectionally from a study conducted in 2012 that evaluated the transmission of MRSA and other staphylococci from humans, their pets and the environment (Pets and Environmental Transmission of Staphylococci [PETS] study). We used unadjusted and adjusted stratified logistic regression analyses with household‐clustered standard errors to evaluate the association between demographic, healthcare‐related, contact‐related and environmental risk factors and MDR Staphylococcus spp. isolated from dogs and cats. Staphylococcal isolates obtained from dogs (n = 63) and cats (n = 47) were included in these analyses. The use of oral or injectable antimicrobials by the pets during the prior year was the main risk factor of interest. Based on our results, 50% (12/24) of S. aureus, 3.3% (1/30) of S. pseudintermedius and 25% (14/56) of other coagulase‐positive staphylococci (CPS) were determined to be MDR. S. aureus isolates were more likely to be MDR compared with S. pseudintermedius. We did not find a significant statistical association between the use of oral or injectable antimicrobials in the prior year and the presence of MDR bacteria. The results suggest that drivers of antimicrobial resistance in household staphylococci may vary by bacterial species, which could have implications for one health intervention strategies for staphylococci and inform the investigation of other reverse zoonoses, such as COVID‐19.
Floor Response Spectrum Method of Multiply Supported Piping System Assisted by Time History Analysis
Authors: Takayama Yoshihiro , Yoshida Ayaka , Iriki Nobuyoshi , Maeda Eiichi 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
The independent support motion (ISM) response spectrum method is currently used in seismic analysis to calculate the response of piping systems subjected to independent excitations at several points of a supporting structure. This approach leads to considerable overestimation when the maximum responses by multiple excitations are combined by the absolute sum rule, while this may result in underestimation when the maximum responses by the multiple excitations are combined by the square root of sum of squares rule. Then authors have developed an advanced method of the ISM approach named SATH (spectrum method assisted by time history analysis). In the SATH method, both floor response spectra and time histories of floor acceleration are used as independent inputs of support excitations. The information of the mode shapes, frequencies, and damping values for the supporting structure is not necessary. The maximum responses by multiple excitations are combined using correlation coefficients calculated by taking into account each time history of modal response due to independent inputs of support excitations. In this paper, it was confirmed that the SATH method has the advantage to derive a more realistic rule for combining the maximum responses by multiple excitations, and that it can be easily applied to the actual design as a response spectrum method.
Theoretical Approach for the Fast Estimation of the Turbulent Kinematic Viscosity for Internal Flows
Authors: Rodriguez Sal , Fathi Nima , Pourghasemi Mahyar 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
An analytical expression for turbulent kinematic viscosity (νt), based solely on the hydraulic Reynolds number (Re), was derived and evaluated. The analytical expression is valid for the fast estimation of νt for internal, isotropic, fully developed flows. The expression was compared with experimental and simulation data for air, water, and liquid sodium, and was shown to provide reasonable values for 2100 ≤ Re ≤ 3.6 × 106 and Prandtl number (Pr) range of 0.0107 ≤ Pr ≤ 5.65. In addition, new expressions suitable for the central portion of internal flows, away from the wall, were derived for the turbulent Reynolds number (ReT), showing its relationship to Re, as well as to the ratio of νt and the molecular kinematic viscosity (ν).
Thorax Dynamic Modeling and Biomechanical Analysis of Chest Breathing in Supine Lying Position
Authors: Zhao Xingli , Guo Shijie , Xiao Sen , Song Yao 
Published: April 2022

AbstractDuring respiration, the expansion and contraction of the chest and abdomen are coupled with each other, presenting a complex torso movement pattern. A finite element (FE) model of chest breathing based on the HUMOS2 human body model was developed. One-dimensional muscle units with active contraction functions were incorporated into the model based on Hill's active muscle model so as to generate muscle contraction forces that can change over time. The model was validated by comparing it to the surface displacement of the chest and abdomen during respiration. Then, the mechanism of the coupled motion of the chest and abdomen was analyzed. The analyses revealed that since the abdominal wall muscles are connected to the lower edge of the rib cage through tendons, the movement of the rib cage may cause the abdominal wall muscles to be stretched in both horizontal and vertical in a supine position. The anteroposterior and the right–left diameters of the chest will increase at inspiration, while the right–left diameter of the abdomen will decrease even though the anteroposterior diameter of the abdomen increases. The external intercostal muscles at different regions had different effects on the motion of the ribs during respiration. In particular, the external intercostal muscles at the lateral region had a larger effect on pump handle movement than bucket handle movement, and the external intercostal muscles at the dorsal region had a greater influence on bucket handle movement than pump handle movement.
Two Parallel Plates Microreactor for Ethylene Oxide
Authors: Alkhamis Nawaf 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
Ethylene oxide production inside a coated wall microreactor is simulated using computational fluid dynamics. This work considers two parallel plates microreactor filled with different cross-sectional shapes network spacers. The Reynolds numbers in this study ranged from 200 to 800. The spacers' cross-sectional shapes are circular, square, and triangular. The results show that using spacers inside the two parallel plates microreactor is effective at Reynolds number higher than 600. The results show that the triangular spacer with α = 45 deg is the best performance among other spacers at a high Reynolds number, increasing 50% in the reactor performance.

Published: April 2022

Financial time-series prediction has been a demanding and popular subject in many fields. Latest progress in the deep learning technique, especially the deep neural network, shows great potentials in accomplishing this difficult task. This study explores the possible neural networks to improve the accuracy of the financial time-series prediction, while the main focus is to predict the closing price for next trading day. In this paper, we propose a new attention-based LSTM model (AT-LSTM) by combining the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks with the attention mechanism. Six stock markets indices with four features were used as the input to the model. We evaluate the model performance in terms of MSE, RMSE and MAE. The results for these three metrics are 0.4537, 0.6736 and 0.4858, respectively. The results suggest that our model is skillful in capturing financial time series, and the predictions are robust and stable. Furthermore, we compared our results with the previous work. As a result, our proposed AT-LSTM exhibits a significant performance improvement and outperforms other methods.
Effects of All-Inclusive and Hierarchical Rehabilitation Nursing Model Combined with Acupuncture on Limb Function and Quality of Life in Elderly Patients with Cerebral Infarction during Convalescence
Authors: Zuo Lan , Sun Mingzi 
Published: April 2022

Objective. To investigate effects of all-inclusive and hierarchical rehabilitation nursing model combined with acupuncture on limb function and quality of life in elderly patients with cerebral infarction during convalescence. Methods. Eighty elderly patients with cerebral infarction who were treated in our hospital (February 2018–February 2020) and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were chosen as the research objects, and their materials were analyzed in the way of retrospective study. They were equably randomized into observation group and reference group. Based on the acupuncture treatment, the patients in the observation group and the reference group were given routine rehabilitation nursing and all-inclusive and hierarchical rehabilitation nursing respectively for three months. The simplified Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) scores, Modified Edinburgh-Scandinavian Stroke Scale (MESSS) scores, Activities of Daily Living Scale (ADL) scores, and Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale (SS-QOL) scores in the two groups before and after intervention were recorded, and the changes of limb function, neurological function, and living quality of the patients in the two groups were analyzed. Results. Compared with the reference group, the observation group after intervention achieved prominently higher FMA score (

P

< 0.001), markedly lower MESSS score (

P

< 0.001), and signally higher SS-QOL scores (

P

< 0.05). After intervention, the observation group achieved obviously higher ADL score than the reference group (68.88 ± 8.91 vs 59.00 ± 8.38,

P

< 0.001). Conclusion. The all-inclusive and hierarchical rehabilitation nursing model combined with acupuncture can accelerate the recovery of neurological function of the elderly patients with cerebral infarction, enhance the rehabilitation of their limb function, and markedly improve their quality of life. Therefore, this model has referential significance in clinic.

Abstract

Despite the popular use of dietary supplements during conventional cancer treatments, their impacts on the efficacies of prevalent immunotherapies, including immune-checkpoint therapy (ICT), are unknown. Surprisingly, our analyses of electronic health records revealed that ICT-treated patients with cancer who took vitamin E (VitE) had significantly improved survival. In mouse models, VitE increased ICT antitumor efficacy, which depended on dendritic cells (DC). VitE entered DCs via the SCARB1 receptor and restored tumor-associated DC functionality by directly binding to and inhibiting protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP1, a DC-intrinsic checkpoint. SHP1 inhibition, genetically or by VitE treatment, enhanced tumor antigen cross-presentation by DCs and DC-derived extracellular vesicles (DC-EV), triggering systemic antigen-specific T-cell antitumor immunity. Combining VitE with DC-recruiting cancer vaccines or immunogenic chemotherapies greatly boosted ICT efficacy in animals. Therefore, combining VitE supplement or SHP1-inhibited DCs/DC-EVs with DC-enrichment therapies could substantially augment T-cell antitumor immunity and enhance the efficacy of cancer immunotherapies.

Significance:
The impacts of nutritional supplements on responses to immunotherapies remain unexplored. Our study revealed that dietary vitamin E binds to and inhibits DC checkpoint SHP1 to increase antigen presentation, prime antitumor T-cell immunity, and enhance immunotherapy efficacy. VitE-treated or SHP1-silenced DCs/DC-EVs could be developed as potent immunotherapies.

The Contribution of the Structuring of the Canon to Debate about the Place of Wisdom in Biblical Theology
Authors: Goswell Gregory 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
Psalms, Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and Song of Songs are routinely juxtaposed (in different orders and combinations) in the Hebrew and Greek OT canons. The implication of their propinquity is that the books were viewed by early readers as belonging together and mutually enriching. The regular collation of these five books means that they were treated as primary conversation partners, whose interaction took hermeneutical precedence over other possible intra-canonical links. Irrespective of whether it is decided that these generically diverse texts are to be designated a “wisdom collection,” contemporary readers of Scripture will benefit by taking into consideration that the books were placed together by ancient readers who viewed them as needing to be read in relation to each other.
The Ethics of Lament: Dereliction, Theodicy, Embodiment, and Discipleship
Authors: Ridlehoover Charles 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
One of the most important sets of texts for the church is the Passion narrative. A question of particular interest is the message behind Jesus’s words upon the cross: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” By considering the shape and theology of Ps 22 as a lament, the reader becomes aware of the parallels between this psalm and Jesus’s crucifixion. These shared theological arcs give an intimate look into the death of Jesus and following his example. If disciples of Jesus are called to take up their crosses, the implication is that the theology of lament must be part of this embodied call. Thus, a proper understanding of the interaction of these two texts creates an ethic of lament resulting in a more holistic discipleship.
Psalm 115 and the Logic of Blessing
Authors: Chapman Stephen B. 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
Although not a well-known biblical psalm, Psalm 115 offers significant insights into the character of blessing in Second Temple piety. The psalm’s structure and catchword technique highlight a fundamental contrast between Israel’s God and the idols of the nations. The intangibility and apparent absence of Israel’s God are actually markers of this deity’s superiority and involvement in the world. God is present as the reliable recipient of human trust and ultimate source of human blessing. The human act of blessing is a means of “placing” one’s self and others within God’s good creation, and thus participating in God’s ongoing work of redemption. The act of blessing God affirms relationship with God.
How Is It Written? Mark 9:12, Heavenly Writ, and the King of the Jews Inscription
Authors: Schaser Nicholas J. 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
Scholars offer various scriptural precedents for how the Son of Man’s suffering is “written” according to Mark 9:12. This article proposes that Jesus’ suffering is written in heaven, and that it appears, ultimately, as the “King of the Jews” inscription (15:26). The use of γέγραπται in 9:12 does not preclude future application, so that Mark’s grammar allows for past writing to remerge during the Passion. The language that appears alongside the “King of the Jews” inscription in Mk 15:26–29 recalls earlier Markan references to Scripture, which imbues the title with authority on par with, but independent from, Israel’s Scriptures. Mark’s use of “King of the Jews” evokes Jesus’ prediction of maltreatment insofar as the phrase’s contexts either echo Mk 9:11–13 or draw on the Septuagint’s descriptions of suffering Judean kings. Thus, Mark’s inscription witnesses to the suffering written in heaven, and also explains why the Son of Man must suffer as King of the Jews.
Mission and Migration in the Formation of an Arab Middle Class
Authors: Phillips Julian Cole 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
Beginning in the late nineteenth century, there was significant migration of Arabs from the Ottoman Empire to the Americas, and such migrants often originated in the communities that had been subject to Protestant missionary programs. This article uses a micro-history of a single family to assess the relationship between missionary activity and emigration. The article concludes that Arabs deployed both involvement with missions (employment, conversion, and education) and temporary economic migration as strategies to join a transnational middle class.
Nation, Damned Nation and Statistics
Authors: Jammes Jérémy 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
The Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL)’s main objective is to translate the Bible into all languages by collecting ethnolinguistic data thanks to the methods of participant-observation and lexical investigation. Tracing its origins to the mid-1930s in the United States and Central America, SIL started its missionary, linguistic and development activities in Southeast Asia in the 1950s, especially in the Philippines (1953) and Vietnam (1954). This article analyses the nature and trajectories of SIL members, investigating their missionary activities, their visual and statistical conception of conversion and ethnographic encounter, their conception of Pax Americana during the Vietnam war (1954–75). Both archive- and fieldwork-based investigation reveal what the SIL’s activity meant at the nexus of evangelism, linguistics, ethnography and US foreign policy, challenging some of the very simplified views of the operations of missionaries and religious NGO s in Southeast Asia during the Cold War.
