Sino-Burmese Secondary Migration and Identity: Tracing Family Histories
Authors: Chen (陈天玺) Tienshi 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This paper investigates Burmese migrants of Chinese descent, particularly those living in Japan. Many migrants’ fathers or grandfathers originally migrated to Burma/Myanmar due to political turbulence back in China. Studies on overseas Chinese often focus on migration to countries such as Japan, the US, Indonesia, or Burma/Myanmar. Little research has thus far considered families who later embark on a secondary migration to Japan. I traced the family histories of two Sino-Burmese leaders of the Burmese community in Japan. Based on interviews and fieldwork in Japan and Burma/Myanmar between 2016 and 2018, I explored what it means to be a Chinese minority living in Burma/Myanmar. Such people faced a glass ceiling due to ethnic discrimination linked to political instability. Roots in China, nativity in Burma/Myanmar, and migration to Japan and the US tend to create multiple identities. After migrating to Japan, they claimed Burmese identity and used their Japan connections and identity to organize Burmese pro-democracy actions. One ran a sushi restaurant after further migration to the US.
Between Lamenting Vicissitudes of Life and Celebrating Ottoman Authority in the Sixteenth Century: Māmayya al-Rūmī’s (d. 985–7/1577–9) Times and Poetry
Authors: Gündüz Hacı Osman 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This study investigates the status of poets and poetry in sixteenth-century Ottoman Damascus by focusing on soldier-turned-poet Māmayya al-Rūmī (d. 985-7/1577-9). As a poet he received patronage from local centers of prestige; however, such support seems to have been at best sporadic. While his dīwān (collection of poetry) is replete with poems celebrating his poetic ingenuity—notwithstanding the fact that he was not a native Arab, it is also a testimony to his frustrations with lack of financial security and his diminishing social status. In addition to gloomy poetry, he also composed a great number of panegyrics in honor of Ottoman sultans, scholars, and administrators. What was Māmayya’s position in the literary culture of sixteenth-century Damascus as a Rūmī? What was the role of panegyric poetry in this period? Did poets voice their concerns about lack of appreciation? This study explores these questions by focusing on a selection of poems by Māmayya al-Rūmī with references to his contemporary, and later poets.
Poetry as History: An Examination of the Role of Poetry in al-Murādī’s Biographical Dictionary of the Twelfth/Eighteenth Century
Authors: Salem Basil 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This article approaches early-modern biographical literature, in particular the centenary biographical dictionary of Muḥammad Khalīl al-Murādī, titled Silk al-durar fī aʿyān al-qarn al-thānī ʿashar as an integrated source. The article argues that as a biographer, al-Murādī relied heavily on poetry, not simply for its literary value, but as a historical tool, a primary source, whose contents provided the reader with direct access to the historical figures in question. This approach to the Silk allows the biographical dictionary to serve not simply as a historical reference, as it often does, but as a reflection of the cultural moment it emerged from. The poetry within the Silk, when read as a historical source, affords insight into the history of the self, of self-fashioning, and of the mentality of the learned community of eighteenth-century Ottoman Syria, and Damascus in particular.
Affective and Cognitive Processes in Cancer Narratives
Authors: Kah-Pei Liaw Monica , Ting Su-Hie , Chuah Kee-Man , Jerome Collin 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Research on cancer narratives has not contextualised emotional and cognitive processes in stages of coping. The study examined linguistic indicators of affective and cognitive processes in narratives of 31 Malaysian cancer survivors. The analysis of the 58,787-word transcript using Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (liwc) software revealed that coping with cancer is a case of mind over emotions, with 12.52% of words related to cognitive processes and 4.17% to affective processes. Frequently used words linked to cognitive processes indicated the cancer survivors’ rationalisations of their denial of the diagnosis and explanations of treatment. Frequently used positive affective words reflect their optimism after reaching acceptance. Frequently used negative affective words indicate their trauma and uncertainty about the prognosis and treatment. Linguistic indicators of emotional and cognitive processes may be useful in identifying stages of coping so that appropriate support can be given to cancer patients and survivors.
For the Record: Chinese Investiture Missions to Ryūkyū, 1404–1866
Authors: Pegg Richard A. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Every time a Ryūkyū king came to the throne from the fifteenth to nineteenth centuries, a mission was sent from the Chinese court in Beijing to Fuzhou, then via investiture ships from Fuzhou to Naha and finally by land to the royal capital of Shuri, Ryūkyū, to officially acknowledge the new king. From 1404 to 1866 there were a total of twentythree such official missions celebrating the new kings.
Each appointed Chinese envoy kept an official record of the entire journey. During the Ming dynasty they took the form of published woodblock-printed books known as Record of a Ryūkyū Mission (Shi Liuqiu lu). During the Qing dynasty a second manuscript format, consisting of a commemorative album containing sets of paintings, also appeared. Both formats, books and albums, are historical records enhancing our understanding of how a part of the wider China Seas maritime trading systems functioned at that time.
History of a Geopolitical Choice of the Russian Empire
Authors: Postnikov Alexey V. , Konstantinov Mikhail V. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This article analyses the cession of Russian America (Alaska) to the United States (1867), the role of American geopolitical plans and dreams, and Nikolay Muravyov-Amursky’s strategic decision to concentrate Russia’s resources on its continental regions. He considered Russia’s main task to be the development of the Amur and its consolidation at its mouth and on the Pacific Ocean coast to head off the clear aspirations of Britain and France. The East Asian achievements of Nikolay N. Muravyov-Amursky are recognized, while his personal authorship of the original political plan linking Alaska’s peaceful concession to the United States was a hidden consequence of subsequent events. The undeclared but real connection between the development of the Amur and the cession of Alaska was no mystery to contemporaries in Europe, but in Russia itself, due to the censorship, this issue has not entered the public consciousness, remaining the topic of basic historical works alone.

Published: October 2022

The current study aims to examine the relationship between Social Media Use Disorder (SMUD) and Orthorexia Nervosa (ON), and evaluate the indirect effect of loneliness in this association. This cross-sectional study was carried out between July and September 2021. A total of 363 university students were recruited through convenience sampling through several universities in Lebanon’s governorates. Data about information about the social media applications mostly used (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc.), the number of times of entry to social media applications, the time spent on these applications, ON, loneliness and SMUD, were also collected. The Mplus v.7.2 software was used to estimate categorical confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) of the SMD and loneliness scales. The one-factorial model of the SMD scale fitted well according to χ2/df (69.71/27 = 2.58), TLI (.967), CFI (.956), and RMSEA values (.066; CI [.047–.085]; pclose = .079). The one-factorial model of the loneliness scale fitted well according to χ2/df (10.30/5 = 2.06) TLI (=0.97), CFI (=0.98), and RMSEA values (=0.054; CI [0.000–0.101]; pclose = 0.379). When entering the social media applications and time spent on these applications as independent variables in a first regression model, using Instagram (Beta = 2.73), using Tumblr (Beta = 3.22), spending 30–60 minutes per day on social media apps compared to less than 30 minutes (Beta = 2.33), higher physical activity index (Beta = 0.04) and loneliness (Beta = 0.67) were significantly associated with more ON. When entering the SMUD score as an independent variable in a second regression model, the results showed that higher SMUD (Beta = 0.50) was significantly associated with more ON. Also, loneliness played a partial indirect role in the association between SMUD and ON (by 16%). The current results can help mental health professionals better detect these potential psychological disorders and might help improve future treatment of issues related to ON and SMUD.
Implementing Limited E-participation on Mobility Policy in Bogotá
Authors: Robertson Dustin 
Published: October 2022

The ability of city dwellers to participate in decisions about mobility is a crucial expression of urban democracy. Optimists hope that e-participation—engagement of citizens through information and communication technologies—can deepen democracy and empower the public by giving it a greater decision-making role. In Bogotá, Colombia, during the second administration of the center-right mayor Enrique Peñalosa (2016–2019), however, government agencies implemented limited and constrained forms of e-participation that failed to deliver on this promise. Beyond the perennial digital divide, e-participation was designed and operationalized in ways that restricted the scope for actual democratic improvements. These included limiting participation to superficial decisions, failing to link participation to specific actions, and creating rigorous participation protocols that excluded a majority of the population and avoided dissent. La capacidad de los habitantes citadinos para participar en las decisiones que afectan la movilidad es una expresión crucial de la democracia urbana. Los optimistas esperan que la participación electrónica (el compromiso de los ciudadanos a través de las tecnologías informáticas y de comunicación) pueda profundizar dicha democracia y empoderar al público al otorgarle un mayor papel en la toma de decisiones. Sin embargo, en Bogotá, Colombia, durante la segunda administración del alcalde de centroderecha Enrique Peñalosa (2016-2019), las agencias gubernamentales implementaron formas limitadas y restringidas de participación electrónica que no cumplieron esta promesa. Más allá de la perenne brecha digital, la participación electrónica se diseñó y puso en práctica de forma que pudiera restringirse el alcance de las mejoras democráticas reales. Estas tácticas incluyeron limitar la participación a decisiones superficiales, no establecer vínculos entre la participación y acciones específicas, así como rigurosos protocolos de participación que excluyeran a la mayor parte de la población y evitaran la disensión.

Authors: He Xiaofei , Tomasallo Carrie , Meiman Jonathan 
Published: October 2022

Purpose To examine fish consumption patterns and fish advisory awareness among Wisconsin adults. Design Cross-sectional data from population-based survey. Setting: 2017-2019 Wisconsin Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), supplemental fish module. Subjects 15,757 Wisconsinites aged ≥18 years. Annual response rates ranged 46.1-53.3%. Measures Fish consumption, advisory awareness, background and demographic characteristics. Analysis Weighted binary and multinomial logistic regression. Results Most Wisconsinites reported eating fish in the past 30 days, with approximately half (49.8%) consuming less than one fish meal per week. One-fifth of adults reported consuming sportfish. Women were less likely to eat any fish (PORadj = .6, 95% CI: .5-.7) and sportfish than men (PORadj = .7, 95% CI: .6-.8). The majority (76.7%) of sportfish consumers were aware of fish advisories. However, women (PORadj = .7, 95% CI: .5-.9) and black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) (PORadj = .4, 95% CI: .2-.7) sportfish consumers were less likely to be aware of fish advisories. Compared to adults aged 18-34 years, adults ≥55 years were twice as likely to eat 1-2 fish meals (vs. less than 1 fish meal) per week (PORadj = 2.3, 95% CI: 1.8-2.9). Conclusion Findings indicate that half of all Wisconsinites consumed less fish than recommended by Wisconsin fish advisories, and women and BIPOC respondents were less likely to be aware of advisories. Educational efforts are needed to improve fish consumption habits.
Has_circ_0010220 regulates the miR-574-3p/IL-6 axis to increase doxorubicin resistance in osteosarcoma
Authors: Gu Yanglin , Wang Guangchang , Ran Baocai 
Published: October 2022

Background Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary bone malignancy. It has an aggressive nature and produces drug resistance in diseased patients, which in turn causes obstacles in treating cancer with chemotherapy. The objective of our investigation was to analyze the function and hsa_circ_0010220 mechanism in doxorubicin (DOX) resistance to OS. Methods The hsa_circ_0010220, IL-6, and miR-574-3p levels in OS diseased tissues and cell resistance towards DOX drug were elucidated by qRT-PCR and Elisa assay. The DOX half-inhibitory concentration (IC50) was quantified by Cell Counting Kit-8. For this study, we used RNA pull-down, RNA immunoprecipitation, and a dual-luciferase reporter experiment to identify the proteins that interacted with has_circ_0010220, IL-6, and miR-574-3p in OS cells that have developed resistance towards DOX. Results The results indicated upregulated Hsa_circ_0010220 and IL-6 expression, However, DOX-resistant OS tissues and cells showed a downregulation of miR-574-3p. Reducing DOX resistance in vitro was achieved by silencing Has_circ_0010220. Further, by sponging miR-574-3p, increasing has_circ_0010220 boosted DOX resistance. However, miR-574-3p bound to IL-6 and inhibited DOX resistance. Additionally, it was discovered that hsa_circ_0010220 sponged miR-574-3p for upregulating IL-6 expression. Conclusions Hsa_circ_0010220 encouraged OS resistance to DOX by miR-574-3p/IL-6 axis regulation, suggesting its potency as a promising biomarker for treating OS.
A Narrative Review of the Impact of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation on the Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Critical Care Therapies
Authors: Patel Jaimini S. , Kooda Kirstin , Igneri Lauren A. 
Published: October 2022

Objective: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) utilization is increasing on a global scale, and despite technological advances, minimal standardized approaches to pharmacotherapeutic management exist. This objective was to create a comprehensive review for medication dosing in ECMO based on the most current evidence. Data Sources: A literature search of PubMed was performed for all pertinent articles prior to 2022. The following search terms were utilized: ECMO, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, sedation, analgesia, antiepileptic, anticoagulation, antimicrobial, antifungal, nutrition. Retrospective cohort studies, case-control studies, case series, case reports, and ex vivo investigations were reviewed. Study Selection and Data Extraction: PubMed (1975 through July 2022) was the database used in the literature search. Non-English studies were excluded. Search terms included both drug class categories, specific drug names, ECMO, and pharmacokinetics. Data Synthesis: Medications with high protein binding (>70%) and high lipophilicity (logP > 2) are associated with circuit sequestration and the potential need for dose adjustment. Volume of distribution changes with ECMO may also impact dosing requirements of common critical care medications. Lighter sedation targets and analgosedation may help reduce sedative and analgesia requirements, whereas higher antiepileptic dosing is recommended. Vancomycin is minimally affected by the ECMO circuit and recommendations for dosing in critically ill adults are reasonable. Anticoagulation remains challenging as optimal aPTT goals have not been established. Relevance to Patient Care and Clinical Practice: This review describes the anticipated impacts of ECMO circuitry on sedatives, analgesics, anticoagulation, antiepileptics, antimicrobials, antifungals, and nutrition support and provides recommendations for drug therapy management. Conclusions: Medication pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic parameters should be considered when determining the potential impact of the ECMO circuit on attainment of therapeutic effect and target serum drug concentrations, and should guide therapy choices and/or dose adjustments when data are not available.

Published: October 2022

Background Black men and women have the highest rates of obesity in the United States. Behavioral weight loss programs incorporating intimate partners may be effective in combating obesity among this population. Yet, current participation in these programs is low. Identifying motivations and triggers to weight loss may provide insight in designing programs to increase participation. Aim To determine triggers and motivations for weight loss among Black men and women in committed relationships to inform development of weight loss interventions. Method Twenty semi-structured interviews, based on an integrated theoretical framework of interdependence and communal coping and the social cognitive theory, were conducted among Black heterosexual couples where one or both individuals intentionally lost ≥5% of their body weight in the last 6 months in a metropolitan region in a southern state. Interviews were transcribed and coded. Themes were identified following multi-rater coding and direct and conventional content analysis. Recommendations were developed from emergent themes. Results Among individuals with recent weight loss, personal relevancy and awareness (health awareness and self-awareness) were identified as personal triggers for weight loss initiation. Health concerns and appearance were general motivations among the total sample. Conclusion Emphasizing the impact of weight on daily functioning and quality of life, and increasing awareness of personal weight status and health consequences, may increase weight loss initiation and participation in weight loss programs among Black men and women in committed relationships. Findings also highlight strategies to improve recruitment and retention and guide intervention development and implementation for this population.
‘It was quiet’: the radical architectures of understatement in feminist science fiction
Authors: Butt Amy 
Published: October 2022

“Poisonless:a bare city, bright, the colours light and hard, the air pure. It was quiet.” The Dispossessed, Ursula K. Le Guin (1974) This is how Ursula K. Le Guin describes the city of Abbenay in The Dispossessed. It is modest and unassuming. It is quiet. This architectural restraint is jarringly at odds with predominant portrayals of the science fiction city. As noted by Graham (2016) and Hurley (2008) the future city has become synonymous with rapid vertical urbanisation, closing off alternative urban visions and the possible futures they contain. While there is a growing call for the study of sf by scholars in the spatial disciplines such as Abbott (2016), Collie (2011), Hewitt and Graham (2015) and Kitchin and Kneale (2002), the unassuming, everyday spaces of feminist sf are often lost in the shadows cast by the dystopian high rise. As Le Guin argues, these passive and participatory utopias become visible only when we ‘adjust to a dimmer light’ (1989). In response, this paper lingers in shared spaces of sf which are possible examples of what Washida Imarisha terms ‘visionary fiction’ which is sf that ‘has a relevance towards building new, freer worlds’ (2015: 4) including; N.K. Jemisin’s Broken Earth trilogy (2015–2017), Sally Miller Gearhart’s The Wanderground (1979) and Marge Piercy’s Woman on the Edge of Time (1976). By imaginatively inhabiting the utopian enclaves within these feminist texts it is possible to explore geographies of alterity – to adjust to the dim light and learn to cherish the quiet.
Association of Dementia Severity and Caregiver Support With Early Discharge From Home Health

Published: October 2022

Introduction The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between dementia severity and early discharge from home health. Methods This was a retrospective study of 100% national Medicare home health da ta files (2016-2017). Multilevel logistic regression was used to study the relationship of dementia severity, caregiver support, and medication assistance with early discharge from home health. Results The final cohort consisted of 91 302 Medicare beneficiaries with an ADRD diagnosis. A pattern of early discharge rates across dementia severity levels was not demonstrated. The relative risk for early discharge was lower for individuals who needed assistance with medication and for those with unmet caregiver needs. Discussion The findings of this study do not support the hypothesis that dementia severity contributes to early discharge from home health. Further research is needed to fully understand key factors contributing to early discharge from home health.
A Study of Self-Care Practice in Routine Radiotherapy Care: Identifying Differences Between Practitioners and Non-Practitioners in Sociodemographic, Clinical, Functional, and Quality-of-Life-Related Characteristics
Authors: Stake-Nilsson Kerstin , Gustafsson Silje , Tödt Kristina , Fransson Per , Efverman Anna 
Published: October 2022

Objectives: The objective of this study was to describe self-care practice during radiotherapy for cancer and to identify potential differences between practitioners and non-practitioners of self-care regarding sociodemographic, clinical, functional, and quality-of-life-related characteristics. Methods: In this descriptive study, 439 patients (87% response rate) undergoing radiotherapy responded to a study questionnaire regarding self-care, sociodemographic, clinical (eg, experienced symptoms), functional, and quality-of-life-related characteristics. Results: Of the 439 patients, 189 (43%) practiced at least one self-care strategy, while 250 (57%) did not. In total, the patients described 332 self-care practices, resulting in 14 different categories of self-care strategies. The 5 most common indicators of practicing self-care were fatigue, general wellbeing, psychological symptoms, nausea, vomiting and improving physical condition. The 5 most common self-care strategies were physical activity, increased recovery, healthy eating, distraction, and skincare. Patients who were married, were older than 69, patients with less education than university education, patients undergoing a combination of internal and external radiotherapy, patients experiencing fewer than 8 symptoms, and better quality of life, practiced self-care to a lower extent than did other patients. Functional capacity did not differ between self-care practitioners and non-practitioners. Conclusion and Implications for Practice: Of the patients undergoing radiotherapy, slightly less than half practiced self-care during an ordinary week of radiotherapy. Because older and less-educated patients were less likely to practice self-care, cancer care practitioners should consider paying particular attention to helping such patients with their self-care practice.
