“And what Do You Do, Exactly?” Comparing Contemporary Definitions and Practices of Applied History
Authors: De Ridder Bram 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
In the last few years, the notion of applied history has seen a notable rise in interest among historians. Arising out of questions related to contemporary concerns, such as political extremism and Covid-19, several projects have taken up the challenge to address these questions and other issues by looking to the past, thereby furthering the idea that applied history warrants the attention of professional (academic) historians. The concept of applied history itself is, however, not new, begging questions of how these new projects use the term and how this usage relates to older definitions and methods associated with the term. This article shows that much of the most recent ‘wave’ of applied history has tended to present itself as closely related to history and policy, distinguishing itself by either drawing a hard line between public and applied history or by ignoring public history altogether. On the other hand, some have defined applied history as an approach or sub-field of public history, sometimes leading public historians to assume that these new groups are merely, and unhelpfully, putting a new logo on an old brand. This article offers a thorough overview of these contending developments and argues that the current conceptual and methodological confusion about applied history is detrimental to anyone relying on the term. Essentially, when a non-historian seeks the assistance of an applied historian and asks the logical question “and what do you do, exactly?,” the current uncertainty can result in major and off-putting confusion about what the term actually means.
Sacred Spaces and Liminal Behavior in Levantine Temples in Antis
Authors: Falconer Steven E. , Fall Patricia L. 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Temples in antis provide clearly defined liminal spaces for ritual behaviors that are readily recognizable both textually and archaeologically. This architectural form and the religious tradition it embodied were remarkably widespread geographically and temporally, spanning the Levant and Greater Syria from the end of the Early Bronze Age until the early Iron Age. Although the Southern Levant has been characterized as highly urbanized during the Middle Bronze Age, settlement pattern analysis suggests that it was fragmented into numerous polities, as documented subsequently in the Late Bronze Age Amarna Letters. In contrast, Levantine towns and villages shared a common religious tradition marked by ritual behaviors within clearly marked liminal spaces. These behaviors are readily recognizable archaeologically at Tell el-Hayyat, Jordan, where they are framed in temple enclosures by distinct architecturally-defined boundaries, and signaled by feasting on sheep and goat, and deposition of copper-alloy figurines, tools and metallurgical remains. These lines of material and architectural evidence, and the liminal behaviors they reflect, linked villages and towns in localized Levantine polities, as exemplified among a cluster of settlements in the northern Jordan Valley. Parallel sequences of four temples in antis at Tell el-Hayyat and nearby Pella (ancient Piḫilu in the Amarna Letters) developed in tandem through the Middle Bronze Age, suggesting that temple construction and rebuilding was coordinated between town and village communities. Further examples of temples in antis and patterns of material deposition and liminal behavior suggest that this temple form and its associated ritual tradition were spread throughout the Southern Levant as part of a much larger and longer-lived cultural tradition extending across Greater Syria, which has been characterized as a Middle Bronze Age cultural koinè. Thus, despite its fractious local political environment, Middle Bronze Age Levantine society was grounded in a remarkably broad cultural tradition marked by the sacred spaces and liminal behaviors associated with temples in antis.

Published: July 2022

Abstract
Speech is a primary means of human communication and one of the most basic features of human conduct. Voice is an important part of its subsystems. A speech disorder is a condition that affects the ability of a person to speak normally, which occasionally results in voice impairment with psychological and emotional consequences. Early detection of voice problems is a crucial factor. Computer-based procedures are less costly and easier to administer for such purposes than traditional methods. This study highlights the following issues: recent studies, methods of voice pathology detection, machine learning and deep learning (DL) methods used in data classification, main datasets utilized, and the role of Internet of things (IoT) systems employed in voice pathology diagnosis. Moreover, this study presents different applications, open challenges, and recommendations for future directions of IoT systems and artificial intelligence (AI) approaches in the voice pathology diagnosis. Finally, this study highlights some limitations of voice pathology datasets in comparison with the role of IoT in the healthcare sector, which shows the urgent need to provide efficient approaches and easy and ideal medical diagnostic procedures and treatments of disease identification for doctors and patients. This review covered voice pathology taxonomy, detection techniques, open challenges, limitations, and recommendations for future directions to provide a clear background for doctors and patients. Standard databases, including the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, Saarbruecken Voice Database, and the Arabic Voice Pathology Database, were used in most articles reviewed in this article. The classes, features, and main purpose for voice pathology identification are also highlighted. This study focuses on the extraction of voice pathology features, especially speech analysis, extends feature vectors comprising static and dynamic features, and converts these extended feature vectors into solid vectors before passing them to the recognizer.
Severe loss of adipose tissue in a Vietnamese lipodystrophy patient caused by LMNA p.G465D mutation: a first clinical characterization and two-year follow-up

Published: July 2022

Abstract

Objectives
Familial partial lipodystrophy type 2 is the most well-known subtype of lipodystrophy. We describe for the first time the phenotype of a case with lipodystrophy, who carried heterozygous mutation c.G1394A (p.G465D) in the LMNA gene.

Case presentation
A 17-year-old girl was diagnosed with FPLD2 due to severe loss of subcutaneous fat in the extremities, buttocks and metabolic complications. However, there was no accumulation of fat over her face and neck, which is remarkably different from the FPLD2 clinical phenotypes. Two years of surveillance showed the challenge due to unable control of insulin resistance, glucose and lipid metabolism. Whole exome sequencing revealed the heterozygous mutation c.1394G>A at exon 11 of LMNA gene (p.G465D).

Conclusions
Our case displayed an atypical phenotype of FPLD2 with metabolic anomalies, not cardiovascular diseases. The difficulties of medical management in this case pointed out the urgent need for more effective treatment for individuals suffering from this rare disease.

Published: July 2022

Abstract

Objectives
We aimed to evaluate the association between vitamin B12, folate, homocysteine levels, and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) among children with obesity in whom vitamin deficiencies are more frequent.

Methods
Herein, 100 children with obesity (58 girls) were included (age, 5–18 years). Height, weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), puberty stage, blood pressure, and biochemical values were collected from medical records; standard deviations (SDS) and percentiles were calculated. Obesity was defined as BMI SDS of >+2SDS. Vitamin B12 and folate levels of <300 pg/mL and <4.8 ng/mL, respectively, were considered deficient. A radiologist quantified measurements from the carotid artery.

Results
Mean patient age was 12.52 ± 3.63 years. The mean weight SDS, BMI SDS, and WC/height were +3.37 ± 0.93, +2.93 ± 0.55, and 0.65 ± 0.05, respectively. In pubertal cases, insulin (p<0.001), the homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (p=0.001) and homocysteine (p=0.002) levels were higher; vitamin B12 (p<0.001) and folate (p<0.001) levels were lower than those in prepubertal ones. WC and HOMA-IR correlated with CIMT; however, homocysteine levels were not correlated with CIMT.

Conclusions
In our study, pubertal cases had lower vitamin B12 and folate levels as well as higher homocysteine levels. Although no correlation was identified between homocysteine levels and CIMT, this condition may be related to our study group comprising children, who had a shorter duration of obesity than those in adults. As CIMT was higher in children/adolescents with increased WC, it is proposed that they need central obesity more frequently and carefully follow-up.
The role of specialist perinatal psychiatrists in modern medicine
Authors: Chakravorty Triya 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
The perinatal period, from the beginning of pregnancy to one year after birth, is a time of considerable physiological and emotional change, where women face a significant risk of development or relapse of mental health disorders. Mental health disorders are one of the most common conditions faced in the perinatal period, but often go unrecognised. There are several barriers to accessing and delivering care, such as instances of structural bias, cultural diversity, stigma, lack of resources and the additional challenge brought by the coronavirus pandemic. Perinatal psychiatry is a dynamic and evolving field, which spans gender, age, ethnicity, socioeconomic background and many other characteristics, to care for people at a vulnerable time in their lives. This article explores the role of perinatal psychiatrists in today’s society, as well as the challenges faced in the field.
Effect of tiny amount of DMC on thermal, mechanical, optical, and water resistance properties of poly(vinyl alcohol)

Published: July 2022

Abstract
In this paper, tiny amount of methacryloxyethyl trimethylammonium chloride (DMC) was added in poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) in order to widen its thermoplastic processing window. The effects of DMC content on thermal, mechanical, optical, and water resistance were investigated. The results showed that the thermal stability of PVA/DMC was improved obviously. Compared with pure PVA, with tiny amount (∼0.6 wt%) of DMC, the initial decomposition temperature and the fastest decomposition temperature of DMC/PVA increased from 246 °C and 287.6 °C–320.8 °C and 364.8 °C respectively. Moreover, this tiny amount of DMC did not affect the crystallization performance of PVA. PVA/DMC (0.6 wt%) blend have similar mechanical, optical properties and low temperature water resistance as those pure PVA have. The melting temperature of the PVA/DMC remained at 221 °C as that of pure PVA. This work might provide a new method for widening the thermoplastic processing window of PVA without sacrificing its other inherent properties. The reasons why DMC could improve the thermal stability for PVA was explored as well.

Published: July 2022

Abstract
As the demand for renewable, cost-effective, and environmentally acceptable materials in a variety of applications has developed, natural fibres have become more popular as reinforcement in composite materials. Salvadora persica L. is the most common traditional source of chewing stick (miswak) advised by Prophet Muhammad. It is also known as Arak in Arabic and Peelu in Urdu. A lot of research has been done in the last few years to investigate if its traditional applications in dental care are still valid. For this review, a variety of databases (Science Direct, PubMed, Wiley Online Library, and Google Scholar), books and primary sources were examined, surveyed, and analysed. Miswak fibre qualities and attributes were addressed in this review study to evaluate if the fibre may be used as an alternative to natural fibre reinforcing in composites. The history and uses of the miswak tree, as well as the structure of the miswak tree, are presented first, followed by a discussion of fibre characterization, with a focus on fibre structure and composition. Finally, the effect of miswak on the physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of composites is discussed. Miswak fibre and its composites present considerable challenges and potential as a reinforcement or filler alternative in a variety of applications, including dentistry.
Constructing a framework for selecting natural fibres as reinforcements composites based on grey relational analysis

Published: July 2022

Abstract
Material selection is crucial in product development, especially when material from a composites process application is involved. Numerous multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) tools each have their own set of advantages and disadvantages. Using grey relational analysis (GRA), this research proposes a systematic framework evaluation approach for generating a sensible rank for material selection of natural fibre as reinforcement composites. The framework was created using the GRA technique, a robust evaluation tool that employs the grade of relation to determine the degree of similarity or difference between two sequences. The MCDM approach can be straightforward for the material selection problem. A GRA technique is used to investigate the performance of the potential material, which includes grey relational sequence creation, reference sequence definition, grey relational coefficient calculation and grey relational grade determination. This framework is applied with a case study to identify the optimum natural fibres composites material for a bike helmet. End results revealed that pineapple is the best candidate for construction of safety gear (cyclist helmet). The best possible evaluation model for material selection of the composite can be referred by design engineer in composite industry for multiple applications. Moreover, the proposed framework is an aid to help engineers and designers to choose most suitable material.
Shared Victimhood: The Reporting by the Chinese Newspaper thePeople’s Dailyon the 1999 NATO Bombing of Yugoslavia
Authors: Zhou Yuguang 
Published: July 2022

AbstractThis article examines the reporting by China’s most important newspaper,People’s Daily, on the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia. The 1999 intervention was significant in China, as its embassy in Belgrade was bombed. The author looks at the newspaper’s bombardment-related reports of and commentaries on Yugoslavia, NATO, Russia, and China, as well as other countries, and its reporting on the embassy bombing itself. The author shows that there was clear sympathy for Yugoslavia and “the Yugoslav people”, a term used synonymously with Serbs. The 1999 conflict was portrayed as a struggle betweengood(peace and independence) andevil(hegemonism and power politics). Contrary to most Western societies, the image of Yugoslavia/Serbia in China was largely positive. This image informed the build-up of a narrative of a shared victimhood between China and Yugoslavia/Serbia, which has remained a topos in their bilateral relations until today.
United against “The Horsemen of the Apocalypse” and “The Chessmen of the Devil”. The Greek–Serbian Friendship during the 1999 NATO Intervention in Yugoslavia
Authors: Fotiadis Ruža 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
The notion of a Greek–Serbian friendship as a traditional bond evolved in the public discourse of both Greece and Serbia during the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s. Based on alleged commonalities, feelings of threat and experiences of marginalisation, the sentiment of a special kind of solidarity and proximity between the two nations gained traction, especially in Greece. This holds particularly true during the 1999 NATO intervention in Yugoslavia. The Greek public vehemently opposed the bombing, which was interpreted as an unjustified war against the Serbian people. Both Greece and Serbia were perceived as “underdogs” in the “machinations of the Great Powers”. The article investigates the phenomenon of Greek–Serbian friendship against the background of the 1999 NATO intervention, focussing particularly on the strong anti-Western sentiments that mobilised the Greek public at the end of the 1990s.
The Making of 24 March. Commemorations of the 1999 NATO Bombing in Serbia, 1999–2019
Authors: Satjukow Elisa 
Published: July 2022

AbstractThe author takes the 20th anniversary of the NATO intervention as a starting point to reflect on the commemorations of 24 March 1999, distinguishing three phases of memory politics: First, the Making of 24 March (1999–2000) by Slobodan Milošević, which initiated a hegemonic narrative of Serbian martyrdom; second, the Long Period of Ambiguity (2001–2014) shaped by the former democratic governments, who pursued a policy of reconciliation without questioning the one-sided memory in relation to the war in Kosovo; and third, the Return of 24 March with Aleksandar Vučić’s rise to power, which describes the 78 days of air raids as a collective trauma of Serbian society, from which, however, strength and defiance can be derived. The author shows that memory politics in Serbia today continue to focus almost exclusively on Serbian sacrifices made due to the bombing, while the war in Kosovo remains silenced.

BIRDS OF BRIER ISLAND, NOVA SCOTIA, REVISED AND UPDATED
Authors: Mills Eric L. , Laviolette Lance 
Published: July 2022

This monograph is a revision and updating of our publication on the birds of Brier Island, Nova Scotia, published in the Proceedings of the Nova Scotian Institute of Science in 2011. Known for its concentrations of seabirds and large volume of migration in spring and autumn, the island has gained constantly increasing attention by birders since it was first investigated by members of the Nova Scotia Bird Society in 1955. The past decade, since 2011, has seen a remarkable increase in bird reports, mainly due to increased field work by birders, but also because of the use of the online bird logging system eBird. The heart of this monograph is the annotated list of birds, which has been enlarged and revised in the light of new reports by field observers and new information from the ornithological literature. We have incorporated eBird observations, along with our personal records of occurrences and bird banding data into this revision, along with the changes in the order and arrangement of North American bird families as set out by the Checklist Committee of the American Ornithological Society. Three species, Pacific Golden-Plover, Brown Booby and Zone-tailed Hawk, have been added to the island checklist, and one has been lost, Thayer’s Gull, which has been incorporated into Iceland Gull. The total list of species reported from the island is 357, including two hypothetical species. The number of known breeding bird species has increased from 74 to 83. We also update ecological knowledge of the island as a result of recent fieldwork and the restoration of the Big Meadow Bog in support of Eastern Mountain Avens conservation.

The rain type was stimulated by the block type of rain and real precipitation events. The study results showed that some parts of the existing sewer network are overloaded already during a lower intensity rain event. Based on the results achieved in the future, it is considered with the proposal of measures for rainwater management.
Fatigue damage analysis of pavements under autonomous truck tire passes
Authors: Fahad Mohammad , Nagy Richard 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Two different tire configurations consisting of a dual tire and a super single wide tire having different range and distribution of contact pressures have been analyzed. Along with the effect of speed on development of pavement damage at speeds of 5, 50 and 80 km h−1 under zero and uniform wander modes. Results show that at super slow speeds of 5 km h−1, at dual wheel moving at zero wander mode, decrease in fatigue life of the pavement is 3.5 years, which is 1.45 times more than the dual wheel moving at uniform wander and 3.4 times more than wide tire moving at uniform wander mode. The difference between fatigue damage at different lateral wander modes is prominent at speeds greater than 50 km h−1. A wide tire performs better than the dual wheel under zero wander configurations.
