Idolatry and Time: Capitalism and Money in Twenty‐First‐Century Christian Economic Theology
Authors: Brody Samuel Hayim 
Published: November 2022

ABSTRACTChristian economic theology is distinguished from Christian social ethics by its methodological reflection on the emergence, formation, and proper boundaries of the economic sphere, as well as transcendental reflection on the conditions of possibility of economic science. In practice, this often amounts to anxiety about the authority of Christianity in the economic sphere, as well as about the extent to which Christianity can be held responsible for the system of impersonal economic domination known as capitalism. This review essay draws upon three recent works on or about Christian economic theology, and argues that this genre's anxiety about Christian authority manifests in the ways that it draws temporal boundaries between ancient, medieval, and modern economies. Ultimately, its ambivalence about economy itself is traceable to Aristotle's understanding of money as containing two natures, one defined by quality (use value) and the other by quantity (exchange value). Christianity here becomes a cipher for quality.

Published: November 2022

ObjectivesTo describe a standardised subserosal layer dissection technique and evaluate its outcomes in canine laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Materials and MethodsMedical records of dogs undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy using the standardised subserosal layer dissection technique for the treatment of cholecystolithiasis, cholecystitis, and gall bladder mucocele at a single veterinary hospital from January 2015 to September 2021 were extracted. Operative time, subserosal layer dissection achievement rate, open conversion rate, and complication rate were evaluated.ResultsThirty‐four dogs were included. The most common preoperative diagnosis was cholecystolithiasis (n=29). Operative time was 190 minutes (range: 110 to 330 minutes). Subserosal layer dissection of more than 90% of the gall bladder bed was achieved in 27 (79%) dogs. Conversion to open surgery was required in three (8.8%) dogs. There were no cases of intraoperative bleeding, bile duct injury, or reoperation.Clinical SignificanceThis study showed that laparoscopic cholecystectomy using the standardised subserosal layer dissection technique could be performed successfully in dogs. Future prospective clinical studies are needed to determine safety and effectiveness of this technique compared to standard techniques.
Christians in Kuwait: A Challenge for Political Tolerance
Authors: Abu Sulaib Faisal Mukhyat 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThe study presented here seeks to determine whether Kuwaiti Christians feel politically and socially integrated, isolated, or even threatened in Kuwait society, as well as to explore their political attitudes and primary social demands. At the same time, the study examines the attitudes and tolerance of Kuwaiti Muslims toward the Christian minority. To that end, two questionnaires were distributed to Christians and Muslims. The results suggest that Christians feel integrated into Kuwaiti society rather than isolated or persecuted. Other results suggest that they are also interested in participating in parliamentary elections and think they should have a quota of seats in the Kuwaiti parliament and a Christian minister in the government. The study also reveals that Kuwaiti Muslims harbor a high level of intolerance toward the Christian minority, which should be a red flag for Kuwaiti government and society.
Strategies for manipulating Rubisco and creating photorespiratory bypass to boost C3 photosynthesis: Prospects on modern crop improvement
Authors: Jin Kaining , Chen Guoxin , Yang Yirong , Zhang Zhiguo , Lu Tiegang 
Published: November 2022

AbstractPhotosynthesis is a process that uses solar energy to fix CO2 in the air and converts it into sugar, and ultimately powers almost all life activities on the earth. C3 photosynthesis is the most common form of photosynthesis in crops. Current efforts of increasing crop yields in response to growing global food requirement are mostly focused on improving C3 photosynthesis. In this review, we summarized the strategies of C3 photosynthesis improvement in terms of Rubisco properties and photorespiratory limitation. Potential engineered targets include Rubisco subunits and their catalytic sites, Rubisco assembly chaperones, and Rubisco activase. In addition, we reviewed multiple photorespiratory bypasses built by strategies of synthetic biology to reduce the release of CO2 and ammonia and minimize energy consumption by photorespiration. The potential strategies are suggested to enhance C3 photosynthesis and boost crop production.
Degos disease in a child presenting with acute renal failure
Authors: Ng Pamela Si Min , Koh Mark Jean Aan 
Published: November 2022

AbstractDegos disease, also termed malignant atrophic papulosis, is a rare systemic vaso‐occlusive disorder, seldom reported in the pediatric population. The pathognomonic skin lesion in Degos disease is a papule with an atrophic porcelain‐white center with an erythematous, telangiectatic rim. The benign form of the disease remains limited to the skin, whereas, in others, it progresses to thrombotic vasculopathy in multiple organs including the gastrointestinal, cardiorespiratory, and central nervous systems, with a high mortality rate. We present a rare case of Degos disease in an adolescent female, presenting as acute renal failure secondary to thrombotic vasculopathy, with the characteristic skin lesion distinctively seen on dermoscopy.

Published: November 2022

AbstractBackgroundAfter the coronavirus disease (COVID‐19) pandemic, nationwide school closures were implemented in many countries. This study aimed to determine the impact of the school closures on pediatric ambulance transport, comparing the situation before and after the COVID‐19 pandemic.MethodsThis retrospective observational study was conducted using data from the Kochi‐Iryo.net database. In Kochi prefecture, schools were closed from March 6 to May 24, 2020. Pediatric emergency transport during the school closure period in 2020 was compared with that in the same period in 2019 (before the COVID‐19 pandemic) and in 2021 (when schools were not closed). Statistical analysis comprised χ2 tests with Bonferroni adjustments for multiple testing. To adjust for patient backgrounds, we also performed multiple logistic regression analyses for numbers of pediatric ambulance transports.ResultsThe rate of pediatric ambulance transports was significantly lower (p = 0.008) in 2020 (276; 3.97%) than in 2019 (391; 4.87%), but there was no significant difference (p = 0.360) between 2019 (391; 4.87%) and 2021 (352; 4.56%). Multivariable analysis revealed similar trends (2019 vs. 2020: OR 0.86, 95% CI 0.73–1.00; 2019 vs. 2021: OR 0.96, 95% CI 0.82–1.11). Regarding the characteristics of pediatric ambulance transport journeys, there were no significant differences in 2019, 2020, and 2021 in terms of sex, severity, locations of ambulance stations, and disease classification.ConclusionsThere was a decrease in pediatric ambulance transportation due to the public health interventions for COVID‐19, including school closures. However, this decrease was not solely due to school closures.
Tensed Facts and the Fittingness of our Attitudes1
Authors: Miller Kristie 
Published: November 2022

AbstractWe direct different attitudes towards states of affairs depending on where in time those states of affairs are located. Call thisthe type asymmetry. The type asymmetry appears fitting. For instance, it seems fitting to feel guilt or regret only about states of affairs that are past, and anticipation only of states of affairs that are future. It has been argued that the type asymmetry could only be fitting if there are tensed facts, and hence that since it is fitting, there are tensed facts. In this paper I argue that tensed facts are not necessary to ground the fittingness of the type asymmetry, and thus we have no reason, arising from the fittingness of the asymmetry, to posit such facts. I also argue for a stronger conclusion: even if these facts obtain they are no part of what grounds the fittingness of the type asymmetry. These facts are explanatorily redundant.
Citizen policy entrepreneurship in UK local government climate emergency declarations
Authors: Harvey‐Scholes Calum , Mitchell Catherine , Britton Jess , Lowes Richard 
Published: November 2022

AbstractPolicy entrepreneurship theory seeks to explain how actors, institutions, actions and interactions influence policy makers and policy outcomes; however, the role of citizens in this process remains largely unarticulated. Adopting a conception of policy entrepreneurship as a (distributed) pattern of agency rather than the actions of an individual, we analyse the development of local government climate emergency declarations (CEDs) (many of which visibly involved citizen advocacy). This analysis expands on the role of citizens in policy change and provides evidence of how citizen entrepreneurs interact collaboratively with more traditional forms of policy elites, in this case local elected representatives. Since 2018 hundreds of local governments in the United Kingdom (UK) have issued CEDs in a surge of expressions of local climate ambition. Whilst CEDs have attracted attention from scholars, the underlying dynamics and politics which drove the adoption of these policies, including the role played by citizens, remain unexplored in the literature. Interviews with councillors, council officers, and citizens reveal that citizens carry out a range of activities related to policy entrepreneurship, including problem framing, identifying solutions, networking and building coalitions, and seeking attention and opportunities. We find that they carry out these activities collectively with other citizens and collaboratively with elected representatives; whilst precise coalition‐internal dynamics vary, citizens frequently exploit opportunities to demonstrate the strength and breadth of public support for their cause.
The international service trade effects of bilateral investment treaties
Authors: Xiong Tingting , Sun Hao 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThis paper examines the impact of the bilateral investment treaties (BITs) on a large dataset of service trade using recently developed Poisson pseudo‐maximum likelihood (PPML) estimator regression models with multiple high‐dimensional fixed effects to estimate the structural gravity equations. The model in this paper theoretically demonstrates that BITs reduce service trade from foreign direct investment (FDI) source countries by decreasing the additional variable costs of operating a foreign affiliate. This paper also empirically confirms that BITs decrease service exports from developed to developing economies through analysing a comprehensive WTO‐OECD Balanced Trade in Services Data from 1995 to 2006.

Published: November 2022

AbstractA 10‐year‐old mixed‐breed male dog was referred for a subcutaneous mass on the ventral neck. Based on total‐body computed tomography (TBCT), the mass was located in the left thyroid lobe. Further alterations included enlargement of the ipsilateral mandibular and prescapular lymph nodes (LNs). Surgical excision of the mass and enlarged LNs was performed. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry were consistent with a medullary (C‐cell) thyroid carcinoma, with no evidence of nodal metastases. Surgery was considered curative, and no medical treatment was provided. Periodic follow‐up rechecks were unremarkable. After 18 months, the dog exhibited lethargy, vomiting, anorexia, and hind leg stiffness. TBCT revealed polyostotic osteopathy, and cytology suggested a metastatic endocrine carcinoma. Due to the dog's poor clinical condition and prognosis, the owner elected euthanasia, and a necropsy was performed. Based on gross pathology, histopathology, and immunohistochemistry, multiple metastases of the previous thyroid carcinoma were diagnosed, involving the occipital bone, multiple vertebrae, left sacral wing, fourth right rib, left scapula, left humerus, intrathoracic LNs, lung, spleen, and adrenal glands. This report describes a case of medullary thyroid carcinoma with distant multiorgan metastases and massive bone involvement after a disease‐free interval of 18 months.

Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Modeling of Electrodeposition and Dendritic Growth Under Migration- and Diffusion-Controlled Mass Transport
Authors: Cannon Andrew , McDaniel James G. , Ryan Emily 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
In many electrochemical processes, the transport of charged species is governed by the Nernst–Planck equation, which includes terms for both diffusion and electrochemical migration. In this work, a multi-physics, multi-species model based on the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method is presented to model the Nernst–Planck equation in systems with electrodeposition. Electrodeposition occurs when ions are deposited onto an electrode. These deposits create complex boundary geometries, which can be challenging for numerical methods to resolve. SPH is a particularly effective numerical method for systems with moving and deforming boundaries due to its particle nature. This paper discusses the SPH implementation of the Nernst–Planck equations with electrodeposition and verifies the model with an analytical solution and a numerical integrator. A convergence study of migration and precipitation is presented to illustrate the model’s accuracy, along with comparisons of the deposition growth front to experimental results.

The receptor tyrosine kinase VEGFR-3 plays a crucial role in cancer-induced angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis, promoting tumor development and metastasis. Here, we report the novel VEGFR-3 inhibitor EVT801 that presents a more selective and less toxic profile than two major inhibitors of VEGFRs (i.e., sorafenib and pazopanib). As monotherapy, EVT801 showed a potent antitumor effect in VEGFR-3–positive tumors, and in tumors with VEGFR-3–positive microenvironments. EVT801 suppressed VEGF-C–induced human endothelial cell proliferation in vitro and tumor (lymph)angiogenesis in different tumor mouse models. In addition to reduced tumor growth, EVT801 decreased tumor hypoxia, favored sustained tumor blood vessel homogenization (i.e., leaving fewer and overall larger vessels), and reduced important immunosuppressive cytokines (CCL4, CCL5) and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) in circulation. Furthermore, in carcinoma mouse models, the combination of EVT801 with immune checkpoint therapy (ICT) yielded superior outcomes to either single treatment. Moreover, tumor growth inhibition was inversely correlated with levels of CCL4, CCL5, and MDSCs after treatment with EVT801, either alone or combined with ICT. Taken together, EVT801 represents a promising anti(lymph)angiogenic drug for improving ICT response rates in patients with VEGFR-3 positive tumors.Significance:The VEGFR-3 inhibitor EVT801 demonstrates superior selectivity and toxicity profile than other VEGFR-3 tyrosine kinase inhibitors. EVT801 showed potent antitumor effects in VEGFR-3–positive tumors, and tumors with VEGFR-3–positive microenvironments through blood vessel homogenization, and reduction of tumor hypoxia and limited immunosuppression. EVT801 increases immune checkpoint inhibitors’ antitumor effects.
Performance of the HAS‐BLED, ORBIT, and ATRIA Bleeding Risk Scores on a Cohort of 399 344 Hospitalized Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Cancer: Data From the French National Hospital Discharge Database
Authors: Pastori Daniele , Marang Amélie , Bisson Arnaud , Herbert Julien , Lip Gregory Yoke Hong , Fauchier Laurent 
Published: November 2022

Background
The association between cancer types and specific bleeding events in patients with atrial fibrillation has been scarcely investigated. Also, the performance of bleeding risk scores in this high‐risk subgroup of patients is unclear. We investigated the rate of any bleeding, intracranial hemorrhage, major bleeding, and gastrointestinal bleeding according to cancer types in patients with atrial fibrillation. We also tested the predictive value of HAS‐BLED, ATRIA, and ORBIT bleeding risk scores.

Methods and Results
Observational retrospective cohort study including hospitalized patients with atrial fibrillation and cancer from the French National Hospital Discharge Database (Programme de Medicalisation des Systemes d'Information) from January 2010 to December 2019. Major bleeding was defined according to Bleeding Academic Research Consortium definitions. Patients with HAS‐BLED ≥3, ATRIA ≥5, or ORBIT ≥4 were classified as at high bleeding risk. Receiver operating characteristic analysis for each score against any bleeding, major bleeding, gastrointestinal bleeding, and intracranial hemorrhage was performed. Areas under the curve (AUCs) were then compared. We included 399 344 patients. Mean age was 77.9±10.2 years, and 63.2% were men. The highest intracranial hemorrhage rates were found in leukemia (1.89%/year), myeloma (1.52%/year), lymphoma and liver (1.45%/year), and pancreas cancer (1.41%/year). Receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that ORBIT score predicted best for any bleeding. In addition, ORBIT score ≥4 had the highest predictivity for major bleeding (AUC, 0.805), followed by HAS‐BLED ≥3 and ATRIA ≥5 (AUCs, 0.716 and 0.700, respectively). HAS‐BLED and ORBIT performed best for intracranial hemorrhage (AUCs, 0.744 and 0.742 for continuous scores, respectively), better than ATRIA (AUC, 0.635). For gastrointestinal bleeding, ORBIT ≥4 had the highest predictivity (AUC, 0.756), followed by the HAS‐BLED ≥3 (AUC, 0.702) and ATRIA ≥5 (AUC, 0.662).

Conclusions
Some cancer types carry a greater bleeding risk in patients with atrial fibrillation. The identification and management of modifiable bleeding risk factors is crucial in these patients, as well as to flag up high bleeding risk patients for early review and follow‐up.
Impact of Marital Status on Management and Outcomes of Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction: Insights From the China Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry
Authors: Wei Zhi‐Yao , Yang Jin‐Gang , Qian Hai‐Yan , Yang Yue‐Jin ,   for the China Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry Investigators
Published: November 2022

Background
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide, whereas social support is a known predictor of the prognosis after AMI. As a common factor influencing social support, the impact of marital status on care quality, in‐hospital mortality, and long‐term prognosis of patients with AMI remains largely unknown.

Methods and Results

The present study analyzed data from the CAMI (China Acute Myocardial Infarction) registry involving 19 912 patients with AMI admitted at 108 hospitals in China between January 2013 and September 2014 and aimed to evaluate marital status–based differences in acute management, medical therapies, and short‐term and long‐term outcomes. The primary end point was 2‐year all‐cause death. The secondary end points included in‐hospital death and 2‐year major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (a composite of all‐cause death, myocardial infarction, or stroke). After multivariable adjustment, 1210 (6.1%) unmarried patients received less reperfusion treatment in patients with both ST‐segment–elevation myocardial infarction and non–ST‐segment–elevation myocardial infarction (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 0.520 [95% CI, 0.437–0.618];
P
<0.0001; adjusted OR, 0.489 [95% CI, 0.364–0.656];
P
<0.0001). Being unmarried was not associated with poorer in‐hospital outcome but with long‐term all‐cause mortality and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events in both ST‐segment–elevation myocardial infarction (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 1.225 [95% CI, 1.031–1.456];
P
=0.0209; adjusted HR, 1.277 [95% CI, 1.089–1.498];
P
=0.0027) and non–ST‐segment–elevation myocardial infarction (adjusted HR, 1.302 [95% CI, 1.036–1.638];
P
=0.0239; adjusted HR, 1.368 [95% CI, 1.105–1.694];
P
=0.0040) populations.

Conclusions
The present study suggests that being unmarried is independently related to less reperfusion received, but could not explain the higher in‐hospital mortality rate after covariate adjustment. Being unmarried is associated with a substantially increased risk of adverse events over at least the first 24 months after AMI.
