Rock pulverization is recommended when converting boreal forests to agricultural land use to facilitate tillage operations. Resulting rock dust incorporation might alter physical, chemical, and biological properties of soils. We assessed soil nematode trophic group abundances and indices, basal and burst respiration, and phosphorus extractability after land use conversion (LUC) and recent pulverization (<1 year) on three soil types in eastern Newfoundland, Canada. Nine treatments representing varied pulverization statuses (managed pulverized, managed unpulverized, natural) were nested in soil type (Podzol, Luvisol, and Organic). Conversion to agriculture impacted soil quality more than the recent rock pulverization. Nonetheless, nematode indices (fungivore/bacterivore, fungivore/fungivore+bacterivore, fungivore + bacterivore/herbivore) suggested no significant functional differences with either LUC or pulverization. Soil organic matter (SOM) and pH were substantial direct and indirect drivers of nematode community composition and soil respiration, mainly by altering availability of aluminium and iron. The functional parameters diverged between Organic and mineral soils. For all soils, most respiration parameters were significantly related to SOM, pH, available iron and aluminium. For nematodes, significant relationships were identified in the Organic soil: bacterivores and fungivores abundances were inversely related to SOM, and bacterivore abundance was positively related to pH. While for the mineral soils, citric acid extracted more phosphorus than the Mehlich-3 or water methods, Mehlich-3 was most effective for the Organic soil. Pulverization did not affect phosphorus extractability. The distinct relationships between soil quality properties and functional parameters between mineral and Organic soils are of interest for further investigations into the concepts of soil quality and soil health.

Published: July 2022

This paper provides an in-depth study of occupational therapy and the prevention of common sports injuries in special physical training. The issue of sports injuries and rehabilitation has always been a hot topic in special training. With the continuous development of sports, the increasing intensity of competition, and more stringent requirements for special techniques, the increase in difficulty and intensity of training has led to the increasing frequency of sports injuries, so how to prevent injuries in special physical training and rehabilitation and recovery of athletes after the injury is particularly important. Since the most common musculoskeletal injuries occur in the lower quadrant, this paper proposes a lower extremity functional test (LEFT) model as a means of identifying injury risk and guiding the implementation of training programs to prevent sports injuries. In this paper, a knee injury is used as an example, and an occupational therapy program of TCM

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory e o Eugenics Record Office (1890-1939): genética e eugenia
Authors: Diwan Pietra Stefania 
Published: July 2022

Durante o século XIX, a biologia se consolidou como disciplina dedicada ao estudo dos seres vivos e dos processos e sistemas a eles relacionados. Após a retomada dos trabalhos de Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) no início dos anos 1900, nas décadas que se seguiram foi se expandido o escopo da pesquisa biológica para compreender as leis da hereditariedade, inicialmente em vegetais para animais e mais tarde em humanos, não somente relacionada à cor dos olhos, mas também características do comportamento, inteligência e algumas doenças. Este artigo procura contar a história do funcionamento do Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory entre 1890 e 1939, abordando como as pesquisas eugênicas desenvolvidas por Charles Benedict Davenport (1866-1944) e por Harry Hamilton Laughlin (1880-1943) ganharam centralidade entre 1910 e 1930, tendo sido compreendidas por eles como, genética aplicada aos humanos. A pesquisa desenvolvida mostra que, a partir do final dos anos 1920, as ideias eugênicas de Davenport e Laughlin foram desacreditadas por outros cientistas e perderam o financiamento concedido por agências como a Carnegie Institution de Washington. Por fim, caíram no ostracismo após a Segunda Guerra Mundial e a revelação dos crimes cometidos pelos nazistas.
Association of the Coexistence of Somnipathy and Diabetes With the Risks of Cardiovascular Disease Events, Stroke, and All‐Cause Mortality: A Systematic Review and Meta‐analysis
Authors: Yang Xiu Hong , Zhang Bao Long , Cheng Yun , Fu Shun Kun , Jin Hui Min 
Published: July 2022

Background
Somnipathy and diabetes are independently associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, whether a combination of both conditions is associated with a higher risk of CVD events remains uncertain. Therefore, the aim of this meta‐analysis was to clarify this association.

Methods and Results

We searched MEDLINE, Web of Science, EMBASE,
ClinicalTrials.gov
, and the Cochrane Central Register for Controlled Trials. We included randomized controlled trials, nonrandomized trials, and prospective observational cohort studies that assessed the combined effect of diabetes and comorbid somnipathy on CVD risk and mortality for at least 1 year. Outcomes included CVD, coronary heart disease, stroke, and all‐cause mortality. Twelve studies involving 582 267 participants were included in the meta‐analysis. Patients with somnipathy and comorbid diabetes exhibited increased risks of CVD, coronary heart disease, stroke, and all‐cause mortality (risk ratio [RR], 1.27 [95% CI, 1.12–1.45],
P
<0.0001; RR, 1.40 [95% CI, 1.21–1.62],
P
<0.0001; RR, 1.28 [95% CI, 1.08–1.52],
P
=0.004, and RR, 1.56 [95% CI, 1.26–1.94],
P
<0.0001, respectively).

Conclusions
The coexistence of somnipathy and diabetes is associated with higher risks of CVD, coronary heart disease, stroke, and mortality than somnipathy or diabetes alone. Resolving sleep problems in patients with diabetes may reduce the risks of CVD, stroke, and mortality.

Ambivalent Belonging: Born-Again Christians between Africa and Europe
Authors: Fesenmyer Leslie 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Historically entangled with nation, race, and religion, questions of belonging are pressing and affective ones in Africa and Europe. Against the backdrop of anti-migrant hostility, globalization, and autochthonous claims, I consider how born-again Christians in London negotiate belonging between Kenya, their country of origin, and the United Kingdom, their country of residence. As ‘migrants’ and ‘diasporans’, they are seen as not belonging in either national context. Adopting a scalar approach, I argue that their identification as born-again Christians and claim to membership in a global Christian community allows them to ‘scale-jump’ and offers a morally and emotionally meaningful sense of belonging. At the same time, their encounters with various racial and religious Others locally, nationally, and transnationally mediate where they feel at ‘home’. In the face of contradictions and ambivalence, Pentecostalism helps them to navigate competing symbolic, material, and affective concerns as they seek belonging across multiple sociospatial scales.
Travelling Gods, Ritual Memory, and Slavery in Contemporary Benin
Authors: Forte Jung Ran 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
For more than two centuries the Bight of Benin participated in the Atlantic trade. Today, along the same coastal region, it is possible to encounter Tchamba, the spirits of foreign slaves from the northern savannah. Tchamba ritual practice, part and parcel of the Vodun religion, narrates peculiar stories of domestic slavery and the Atlantic trade, of struggles for emancipation, love and trade, women and men, slaves and masters. Most of all, the worship of Tchamba questions the notion of memory in both discursive and embodied forms, and the ways in which we create linkages between practices, narration, history, and the experience of time.
Inter-religious Demonisation and Its Persuasiveness
Authors: Muratsu Ran 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
This study investigates the Banamè Church, which has gained significant persuasive powers for conversion in Southern Benin, where the public is intensely afraid of witches and Pentecostal Charismatic Churches have expanded rapidly to fight against them. The Banamè Church claims that God came down and took the body of a girl called Parfaite and denies the authenticity of all other churches and religions. To understand how people have come to accept this as reality, it is necessary to examine not only economic and political dynamics and newly evolved relationships but also the reciprocal demonisation between religions and the affective persuasiveness that has emerged in these inter-religious correspondences. This study demonstrates how rationalisation and persuasion occur affectively and spirits become a reality in an entanglement of materials, discourses, media, and feelings against the backdrop of the contemporary expansion of Pentecostal Charismatic Churches, revealing the importance of focusing on inter-religious affective turbulence.
In vitro rearing protocol for pink bollworm, Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders) (Gelechiidae: Lepidoptera) on semi-synthetic diet
Authors: Naik V. Chinna Babu , Supreeth Gillesugur Sham , Gokte-Narkhedkar N. , Prasad Y.G. 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Cotton is one of the major commercial crops cultivated in India. One constraint limiting the potential yield in cotton is due to the bollworm complex, among which pink bollworm (PBW), Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders), is major. To reduce this impact of PBW, farmers have opted for chemical insecticides to manage the pest. Indiscriminate use of these insecticides has led to the problem of resistance. Hence continuous monitoring is a must to keep check on the changing status and trends in the resistance. In order to conduct laboratory studies, a uniform population of sufficient size, producing the insect in high numbers and throughout the year, is required. Hence, a semi-synthetic diet will greatly help in maintaining such populations in the laboratory. The protocol followed for the rearing has resulted in increased larval and pupal weights which depict the suitability of the semi-synthetic diet as well as the efficiency of the rearing technique. This study on the biology of PBW has revealed that the rearing protocol on semi-synthetic diet is ideal, and this has enables us to obtain maximum recovery (less mortality) in a short period of time under laboratory conditions.

Published: July 2022

Abstract
Hipposideros pomona is a typical cave-dwelling bat (IUCN endangered), and its roost selection mechanism has not been studied. From January 2018 to December 2020, 135 potential roosts were investigated in mainland China. To understand the impact of cave microclimate, structure, surrounding and human disturbance on roost selection of H. pomona, 16 variables related to microclimate and roost characteristics were measured. The differences in environmental conditions in the roost of this species in different seasons were studied. The roost preferences of H. pomona were evaluated using independent-samples t-tests and chi-squared tests. The major environmental factors affecting the selection of roosts were determined by principal components analysis (PCA). The results were as follows: (1) H. pomona preferred free-hanging with a cluster spatial arrangement in small rooms deep in the caves. (2) H. pomona and other species of bats all tended to live in natural caves. However, compared to other bats, H. pomona preferred to roost in caves with relatively lower cave ceilings, more entrances, and farther from residential areas. Roosts of H. pomona were warmer and wetter with significantly lower levels of disturbance than those without H. pomona. (3) H. pomona preferred to hibernate in natural caves with little human disturbance and higher temperature and relative humidity. (4) Compared with nonbreeding roosts, breeding roosts of H. pomona had more areas covered by water and had a higher temperature and relative humidity. (5) The PCA analysis showed that microclimate factors, structure factors, and geographical factors were significant environmental factors for H. pomona roost selection.
Beyond Interiority in Christian Conversion: Proximity to Jesus as Patron among Muslim-background “Isai” in Bangladesh
Authors: Anderson Christian J. 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Though conversion studies have attempted to move beyond models that “privilege interior states and subjectivities” (Rambo and Farhadian 2014), this article argues, first, that such a step forward has proved difficult. Interiority persists within frequent divisions of intrinsic and extrinsic factors in Christian conversion or is only de-emphasized at the cost of marginalizing converts’ theological or spiritual convictions. Retaining an internal-external paradigm is especially problematic in non-western contexts, where converts may have quite differently-ordered configurations of self-understanding. Second, the article demonstrates the potential of suspending this duality, through an analysis of existing studies of Muslim-background “Isai” groups in Bangladesh. Isai conversion, involving a pivot from Muhammad to Jesus, is interpreted within a patron-client scheme in which intimacy is more fundamental than interiority, indicating that devotional “proximity” might be a way to refer to the transformative conversion experience without reverting to an interior-exterior dichotomy.
Cross Pendants as Memory Objects
Authors: Marselis Randi 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
This article explores the potential of combining material analysis with object-elicited memory work in order to explore the role of objects in lived religion. It presents a case study on two traditional cross pendants, a Dagmar Cross and a Huguenot Cross, and analyses the cultural-historical contexts of the two crosses, including their importance for specific national and religious memory communities. Furthermore, the memory work sections of the article foreground how the pendants were used as transgenerational gifts during a mixed-faith upbringing in a transnational family. The article argues that such a multidimensional approach is helpful for unfolding the potential meanings of religious objects in lived religion.
Gender and Noun Class Markers in Kubeo (Tukanoan)
Authors: Chacon Thiago Costa 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
This paper analyzes Kubeo’s system of nominal classification from a synchronic, diachronic and typological perspective. It is argued that Kubeo has two distinct but integrated systems, labeled as “gender” and “noun class markers” (CMs). Gender contrasts animacy and number for all nouns and sex-based gender only for animate nouns. CMs mostly code for physical properties. Both systems are productively used in several morphosyntactic, semantic and discourse functions, such as noun derivation, syntactic agreement, individuation, reference identification and management. The paper focusses on highlighting formal and functional asymmetries between the systems, especially in situations where gender and noun class overlap and compete. It is shown that despite a great deal of functional equivalence, Kubeo’s “gender” is more similar to typologically defined gender systems than the language’s class marker system, while the latter, by contrast, is more similar to specific types of noun class and classifier systems found in Amazonia and elsewhere.
Benchmarking Simulated Precipitation Variability Amplitude across Time Scales
Authors: Ahn Min-Seop , Gleckler Peter J. , Lee Jiwoo , Pendergrass Angeline G. , Jakob Christian 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Objective performance metrics that measure precipitation variability across time scales from subdaily to interannual are presented and applied to Historical simulations of Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 and 6 (CMIP5 and CMIP6) models. Three satellite-based precipitation estimates (IMERG, TRMM, and CMORPH) are used as reference data. We apply two independent methods to estimate temporal variability of precipitation and compare the consistency in their results. The first method is derived from power spectra analysis of 3-hourly precipitation, measuring forced variability by solar insolation (diurnal and annual cycles) and internal variability at different time scales (subdaily, synoptic, subseasonal, seasonal, and interannual). The second method is based on time averaging and facilitates estimating the seasonality of subdaily variability. Supporting the robustness of our metric, we find a near equivalence between the results obtained from the two methods when examining simulated-to-observed ratios over large domains (global, tropics, extratropics, land, or ocean). Additionally, we demonstrate that our model evaluation is not very sensitive to the discrepancies between observations. Our results reveal that CMIP5 and CMIP6 models in general overestimate the forced variability while they underestimate the internal variability, especially in the tropical ocean and higher-frequency variability. The underestimation of subdaily variability is consistent across different seasons. The internal variability is overall improved in CMIP6, but remains underestimated, and there is little evidence of improvement in forced variability. Increased horizontal resolution results in some improvement of internal variability at subdaily and synoptic time scales, but not at longer time scales.

Published: July 2022

Abstract
Influences of cloud liquid water, cloud ice, rain, snow, and graupel on all-sky simulations of the Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS) brightness temperature (TB) are assessed for the 399 data assimilation (DA) channels. The analyses generated by the Gridpoint Statistical Interpolation (GSI) 3D-Var system assimilating conventional and clear-sky satellite radiance observations are used as initial conditions for the Weather Research and Forecasting Model to generate 6-h forecasts with three different microphysics schemes (WSM6, Thompson, and Morrison), which are then used as input to the Community Radiative Transfer Model for all-sky TB simulations. Under all-sky conditions, biases with the WSM6 scheme are negative for all channels and greater in magnitude than −3.5 K. The biases with the Thompson and Morrison schemes vary between −1 and 1 K for all channels. Bias differences among three MP schemes are small in stratus, altocumulus, and cumulus clouds, but large in cirrus and cirrocumulus clouds. The TB simulations in stratus, altocumulus, and cumulus clouds are mostly influenced by the cloud top pressure, while that in cirrus and cirrocumulus clouds depends strongly on cloud optical depth. All-sky TB simulations in cirrus conditions are more positively biased than those under cirrocumulus conditions, probably due to the microphysics schemes producing too thick cirrus clouds. Sensitivity experiments suggest that the TB discrepancies among DA experiments with three MP schemes are mostly caused by the ice or snow type rather than the effective radius of hydrometeor in the upper troposphere. Finally, we propose to combine a cloud-effect parameter with cloud types for modeling observation error characteristics in all-sky DA.

Objective To analyze the pattern of lymph node (LN) metastasis and its effect on prognosis in sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM). Methods This retrospective study was conducted based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program data. Survival outcomes were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Factors were compared between groups using log-rank test and Fisher’s exact test, and prognostic factors were screened using the Cox proportional hazards model. Propensity score matching (PSM) was conducted to examine the treatment differences after accounting for sex, age, race, T stage, N stage, and M stage. Results Level I (57.1%) and level II (53.6%) nodes were the most common sites of lymph node metastasis, followed by level III (17.9%) and IV (17.9%) nodes. T stage, M stage, and tumor size were associated with LN metastasis. The 5-year overall survival rates for patients without and with LN metastasis were 35.2% and 5.3%, respectively. Conclusions Level I and II lymph nodes may be the sentinel nodes of SNMM, Advanced T stage and increasing tumor size could promote LN metastasis. LN metastasis may promote distant metastasis and remains an important prognostic factor for patients with SNMM.
