Published: July 2022

Abstract
Turtles as many other reptiles are capable of orientating their bodies toward the sun. This conduct requires the presence of an internal biological chronometer in the organism that regulates this behavior. Thus, a description of the internal clock in these reptiles is of interest. The assessment of locomotor activity can be considered a reliable indicator of biological clock function. This study aimed to investigate the effect of different artificial photoperiod and ambient temperature schedules on total locomotor activity of female Chelonoidis chilensis and its rhythmicity. Six C. chilensis specimens were exposed to different artificial photoperiods and temperature regimes each fixed for seven days. It was observed that the activity period during the different experimental schedules was close to the 24 hours indicating a daily rhythmicity. Moreover, all tortoises showed a similar total locomotor activity pattern displaying the most of motion during light phase. Under the condition of constant light tortoises exhibited a self-sustaining rhythm not entrained to light and temperature zeitgebers, thus, suggesting its possible endogenous periodicity. Though this study deepens the knowledge on the rhythmic system of C. chilensis, further investigations are needed to achieve a more detailed understanding of tortoise biological clock.

Abstract
We report morphological abnormalities for the specimens of Macrobrachium amazonicum (Heller, 1862) collected from the Amazon province in the State of Pará, Brazil, using a local trap called “matapi” at the lower Tocantins River, from June 2004 to May 2005. After sampling, the specimens were sorted out, fixed in ethanol and deposited in the carcinological collection of the Crustaceans Laboratory at the Universidade Federal Rural da Amazônia (UFRA) and the Center for Research and Management of Fishery Resources of the North Coast (CEPNOR/ICMBio). Three individuals showed morphological anomalies in the rostrum and telson. This is the first record of such morphological abnormalities for this species, but further investigation is needed to establish the cause of these anomalies in the region.

Abstract
In Mexico, shrimp catch is the main fishing activity, and the second important species is the blue shrimp, Penaeus stylirostris. Specimens of P. stylirostris collected in 2016-2018 from inland waters (bay) and offshore (littoral) in the Santa María la Reforma lagoon (SMLR) system were analysed. The sexes were separated, and then individuals were measured in total length (L, mm) and weighed (W, g). The data were transformed into a natural logarithm and were adjusted to seven candidate models with a multi-model approach (Linear, Quadratic, Cubic, Broken stick, Two segments, Three segments and Four segments: the last two proposed in this study as new equations). A total of 30 439 specimens were analysed. Statistical differences were found in L between areas (KS test, ). Positive and negative allometry was observed according to biometric relationship and sex. The best model was selected with the lowest value of the Akaike information criterion, resulting in the choice of the Four segments model.
Description of Ruehmaphelenchus americanum n. sp. (Nematoda: Aphelenchoididae) found in Loblolly pine from the USA
Authors: Gu Jianfeng , Fang Yiwu , Ma Xinxin 
Published: July 2022

Summary
Ruehmaphelenchus americanum n. sp., isolated from southern yellow pine (Pinus taedae L.) from the USA is described and figured. It is characterised by a relatively stout body (a = 30 for females and males), three lines in the lateral field, both oocytes and spermatocytes arranged in two rows, male spicules relatively small (14-18 μm) with weakly developed condylus and rostrum, short tail with a bluntly pointed tip, seven papilliform genital papillae present, female vulva positioned at ca 82% of body length, vulval lips slightly protruding, post-uterine branch extending two-thirds of vulva to anus distance, tail cylindrical, ca two anal body diam. long, terminus forming a spike-like projection or mucron, 7.6-12.2 μm long, with pointed tip. The new species can be separated from 11 known species (except R. thailandae) by male genital papillae arrangement (the second and third pair adjacent vs separated). Detailed phylogenetic analysis based on 18S and 28S D2-D3 region ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequences has confirmed the status of this nematode as a new species.
Evaluation of summer and winter cover crops for variations in host suitability for Meloidogyne incognita, M. arenaria and M. javanica
Authors: Marquez Josiah , Hajihassani Abolfazl , Davis Richard F. 
Published: July 2022

Summary
Root-knot nematode (RKN) is an important pathogen on vegetables; therefore, planting a non- or poor host cover crop following a susceptible vegetable crop is a promising management option. This study builds upon previous studies and evaluates the variations in host status of cover crop candidates for reducing the reproduction of RKN populations (Meloidogyne incognita, M. arenaria and M. javanica) in Georgia, USA, to shed light on previous inconsistencies regarding the host status of cover crops and effectiveness in the field. Two glasshouse trials tested the host status of 14 plant species and 18 cultivars plus susceptible tomato ‘Rutgers’. Sixty days after inoculation, roots were evaluated for galling (GI) and egg mass index (EI). Gall formation was not a reliable indication of RKN reproduction for many cover crops, which had higher EI than GI. Based on GI, all cover crops were either non-hosts, ranging from non-hosts to poor hosts or poor hosts to all three RKN species, except blue lupine and hairy vetch, which were susceptible to all three RKN species and had a GI and EI equal to the susceptible tomato control. Based on EI, only bahiagrass, bermudagrass, marigold, millet and velvetbean were either non-hosts or ranged from non-hosts to poor hosts. Eleven cover crops varied in host status to the three RKN species screened, ranging from either non-host to poor hosts or poor hosts to susceptible, which could explain inconsistencies in glasshouse and field trials.
A new phonological analysis of geminates in Cypriot Greek (and beyond)
Authors: Topintzi Nina 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Cypriot Greek geminates have been the subject of much past research and controversy. One major challenge has been their proper syllabification. Another involves their weight status. Taking stock of recent phonetic evidence that supports an inherent mora for Cypriot Greek geminates and tautosyllabicity on the basis of durational effects on the vowel that follows the geminate (Armosti 2011), I build a formal phonological analysis of Cypriot Greek lexical geminates as moraic onsets. The analysis employs WCL (‘weight-and-concomitant-length’), a new theory of gemination designed to handle both the weight and length properties of lexical geminates in comparison to singletons, as attested cross-linguistically. WCL manages to produce both heavy and light geminates on the surface, and dispenses with double linking as a means to express a geminate’s increased length. These features of WCL prove crucial in the analysis of Cypriot Greek. Finally, WCL’s theoretical and typological superiority is furnished through its extensions to other patterns.
Paying the Piper: History, Humanities, and the Scientific Study of Religion

Published: July 2022

Abstract
Here we respond to a recent article in this journal by Leonardo Ambasciano, in which he offers a high-level critique of “big data,” artificial intelligence, and computational approaches in the study of religion. The main thrust of his argument is that these approaches are fundamentally problematic both because of their negative effect on the humanities and because they inappropriately rely on “neoliberal philanthrocapitalist” funding. In our response, we refer to our experience working with computational scientists and humanities scholars in collaborative teams, where they stand shoulder to shoulder in equal collaboration with one another, each side relying on the distinctive value that the other provides as they attempt to create clearer and more valid descriptions, analyses, and explanations of complex human behaviors. We correct several errors of fact in Ambasciano’s article, focusing first on ideological and ethical issues and then on methodological and epistemological issues. We conclude by emphasizing several points on which we agree with his assessment.
Regimes of Visibility in the Global Parkour
Authors: Braune Ines 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Parkour is often defined through its strikingly visual dimension with breathtaking images of leaps covering amazing distances, recordings of seemingly impossible body movements and flying bodies apparently no longer constrained by gravity. However, the basic idea behind parkour is to find the most efficient or direct path as one crosses from one point to another while overcoming all obstacles using only one’s bodily capacities. No additional tools are used or are necessary. The seemingly weightless traceurs and traceuses (parkour practitioners) run, jump and climb through public and digital space. At the same time, they produce visual footage of their best movements. As in other sporting cultures, such as skateboarding, surfing or climbing, the productions of visual material and the visual representation of the sports practices are interrelated. This hints at an entangled relationship between parkour and media in its various forms and aspects. In the following article, parkour will be described as a mediatized global cultural practice with a focus on established regimes of visibility. The analysis will be conducted from a local Moroccan and gendered perspective and using an ethnographic approach.
Intermediating Aural and Visual Divides in Ahmed Shafie’s Print Literary Media and Hassan Khan’s New Media Art
Authors: Abdelmessih Marie Thérèse 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
New literary media in print has changed its paradigms by converging with new media art; likewise, new media art draws on narrative techniques and poetic images. These paradigm transmutations have generated collaborative links binding distinct creative practices, intensifying the reading engagement and/or immersive experience. The mutual interpenetrations of print literary media and new media art challenges traditional understandings of literary, visual and acoustic practices, urging us to rethink mainstream/popular and local/global divides. This paper draws on new literary writing in print by Ahmed Shafie (b. 1977), a Cairo-based writer, poet and translator, along with new media art by Hassan Khan (b. 1975), a Cairo-based writer, composer, and new media artist, both informed by regional and worldwide cultures. By intermediating their visual, verbal and/or aural experiences, this paper addresses the convergent strategies used to produce signification in a worldwide rapidly changing cultural context. The intensity of the reader’s/viewer’s/user’s engagement with the literary or visual experience will be explored to reconsider intermediation as an act of intervention.
Media Representations of Local Muslim Associations’ Acts of Charity in Zambia’s Multi-Religious but Christian-Dominated Context since the 2010s
Authors: Mwale Nelly 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Using media representations, this article explores how the media presents Islamic charity in a multi-religious but Christian-dominated context of Zambia. It shows that representations of local Muslim associations’ acts of charity ranged from rendering support to the vulnerable (in the form of donations of assorted items to communities, schools, hospitals and prisons), to undertaking community development programmes, to building and renovating infrastructure in selected areas countrywide. This representation signified a shift in media coverage of Islam in the 2000s. While the mediatised acts of charity were centred on Muslim social responsibility, the article advances that the representations of Muslim charity revealed not only the significant place of Muslims in the Zambian society, evidenced by the recognition by both state and non-Muslims as key players in public life, but also their ability to unite as a religious minority.
A Beninese Imam’s Controversial 2019 Election Campaign: Muslim Leadership and Political Engagement in a Minority Context
Authors: Madore Frédérick 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
In Benin, the general furor surrounding the 2019 legislative elections held without opposition parties caused many to overlook the fact that Ibrahim Ousmane, a well-known imam from Cotonou, was ultimately elected to the National Assembly. His decision to run in the elections had sparked intense debates over political participation, the criteria used to select the community’s “legitimate” representatives, and, more broadly, the nature of Islamic religious authority in a minority context. In this article, I use the controversy that erupted in 2019 as a starting point for exploring disputes within Benin’s Muslim community and the dilemmas of Muslim minority politics. These disputes center on how its members can engage with national politics to promote their collective interests and maintain their political autonomy from the state. The crisis can also be understood in terms of a “generational” struggle for religious authority, in a context where there are competing sources of legitimacy.
Historical woods of traditional Brazilian boats
Authors: de Melo Júnior João Carlos Ferreira 
Published: July 2022

Summary
Wood has been historically used to build traditional boats in Brazil. The present study examined different types of wood used in the boat collection of the Museu Nacional do Mar (Portuguese for National Museum of the Sea). Samples were collected with a Pressler borer and incorporated into the JOIw xylarium. Histological and anatomical descriptions followed usual wood anatomy protocols. Wood of 15 species of low, medium, and high density was microscopically identified. Most of the species are native to forests that surround the waterways where the boats were built, although some were imported from more distant forests. We believe the wood anatomy shows the relationship between human societies and forest resources used in navel carpentry. Additionally, wood surveys like this broaden our knowledge on the cultural heritage, ethnobotanic, and technological properties knowledge, which ultimately contribute to biodiversity conservation.
Korean Students’ Responses to Non-Cognitive Variables Compared to Japanese and Singaporean Students Based on TIMSS Data
Authors: Kim Hyunjung 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
This study analyzed the responses of Korean students to interest, confidence, value, and instructional clarity in science and mathematics. To achieve this, the raw data of the recent student survey of TIMSS were analyzed. A one-way ANOVA was performed, and a post hoc test was performed. Additionally, a cohort analysis was performed to determine the changes when the fourth-grade students reached the eighth grade. The study results are as follows. First, interest and confidence were higher in the fourth grade than in the eighth grade. Second, in most cases, the average response of Singaporean students was the most positive, but in terms of interest and confidence in science in the fourth grade, the Japanese response average was generally the highest. Third, the average scores of Korean students on wanting to have a job related to their subject and knowing what teachers expect from them were low in both science and mathematics.
Responses of East Asian Climate to SST Anomalies in the Kuroshio Extension Region during Boreal Autumn
Authors: Geng Yu , Ren Hong-Li , Ma Xueying , Zhao Shuo , Nie Yu 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) in the Kuroshio Extension (KE) region play a key role in influencing midlatitude climate variations. This study investigates the impacts of SSTAs in the KE region (KE-SSTA) on East Asian climate during boreal autumn. The results reveal that positive KE-SSTA, changing the meridional temperature gradient in the lower troposphere, contributes to the formation of an anomalous quasi-barotropic anticyclonic circulation (AC) over the KE region. Such a configuration tends to be affected by wind through thermal wind adjustment. Simultaneously, it is also impacted by eddy activity related to the strengthened atmospheric baroclinicity through transient eddy feedback. By both means, obvious descending motion and warm advection are generated, which increases tropospheric temperature through adiabatic heating and further maintains the abnormal AC over the KE region. This anomalous circulation changes wind in the east of the East Asian trough, which favors the transportation of warm and wet air from the midlatitude northwest Pacific and further causes the increase of temperature in northeastern East Asia. Moreover, it also leads to the convergence and divergence of water vapor fluxes in Northeast Asia and eastern North China, favoring the increase and decrease of precipitation in the two regions, respectively. The above responsive characteristics of the midlatitude atmospheric circulation to positive KE-SSTA can be confirmed by numerical experiments. These results suggest that anomalous SST in the KE region can be used as a potentially effective predictability source for autumn climate variations in the mid- to high latitudes of East Asia.

Significance Statement
Anomalous variations of sea surface temperature (SST) in the Kuroshio Extension (KE) region play an essential role in influencing midlatitude climate variations. Considering the importance of autumn climate in East Asia to agricultural production, this study aims to explore the relationship between the East Asian climate and autumn SST anomaly in the KE region (KE-SSTA), and to understand how KE-SSTA effects East Asian climate during boreal autumn. Our results suggest that KE-SSTA can be used as one of the effective predictors of East Asian climate, which will contribute to the improvement of short-term climate prediction levels over East Asia.
Impact of Insurer on Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma Outcomes, Stage, and Treatment Modalities
Authors: Wallace Nathan J. , Mur Taha , Noordzij Jacob Pieter 
Published: July 2022

Background: While the impact of insurance has been described for thyroid cancer as a whole, we sought to further characterize this relationship for the papillary sub-group (PTC). Methods: Those patients with primary site thyroid tumors from 2007 to 2016 with histology-confirmed PTC were extracted from the SEER database. These parameters yielded 103 219 participants for demographic, extent of disease, and treatment parameter study and 103 025 for outcome studies. Results: Compared to their counterparts, those with Medicaid were more likely to have stage T3 or greater (<.0001) disease at presentation. Those with Medicare/private insurance were more likely to have No staging at diagnosis ( P < .0001). Similarly, those with Medicaid exhibited poorer overall (98.0%, 90.9%, 81.6% vs 98.9%, 95.0%, 90.0%; P < .0001) and cause-specific (99.3%, 98.0%, 95.8% vs 99.7%, 99.1%, 98.4%; P < .0001) survival after 1, 5, and 9 years respectively. Conclusion: Insurer has a significant impact on the stage at diagnosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma while having limited effect on the treatment modalities offered. Statistically significant overall and cause-specific mortality differences were appreciated but are likely clinical insignificant. Further work to elucidate the social factors likely affecting these patients is warranted.

Published: July 2022

Objectives: To characterize the presentation, clinical course and functional outcomes of patients with varicella zoster virus (VZV) reactivation involving the vagus nerve. To highlight the role of otolaryngology in acute and long-term management of laryngopharyngeal VZV and its sequelae. Methods: Retrospective review of 3 patients with laryngopharyngeal VZV, managed at a tertiary referral center. Results: All cases presented with vesicular lesions involving mucosa of the laryngopharynx. Each experienced vocal fold hypomobility, among other otolaryngologic sequelae. All were treated with systemic antivirals and corticosteroids. Mucosal lesions resolved within 7 days of treatment initiation; functional deficits persisted for months to years. Dysphonia improved to a plateau at 3 months, while dysphagia took longer to resolve. One patient with disseminated disease experienced bilateral vocal fold paralysis requiring temporary tracheostomy. Conclusions: Vagal neuropathy secondary to VZV reactivation is a rare clinical entity with a variety of laryngeal manifestations. Early initiation of systemic therapy and serial endoscopic evaluations are critical components of acute management when laryngopharyngeal involvement is suspected. Otolaryngologists should plan for long-term phonatory and deglutitive therapy in these cases, as neurologic sequelae can persist for months to years following initial insult. Level of Evidence: Level 4 (Case-series).
Making Psychology’s Hidden Figures Visible Using Open Educational Resources: A Replication and Extension Study
Authors: Kelly Alison E. , Laurin Jenna N. , Clinton-Lisell Virginia 
Published: July 2022

Background Historically marginalized psychologists are underrepresented in history of psychology textbooks, which contributes to their poor recognition by psychology students. Open Educational Resources (OERs) offer a viable solution to inadequate pioneer representation. Objective This study sought to replicate and extend prior research by examining whether diverse and inclusive OERs related to students’ pioneer recognition and perceptions of course material identity representation (recognitive justice). Method Undergraduate students ( N = 50) enrolled in a History of Psychology course completed a pioneer recognition test at the beginning and end of the semester. Students’ perceptions of recognitive justice and the OERs were also assessed. Results Initial pioneer recognition benefitted white pioneers and pioneering men. Follow-up recognition significantly improved for all pioneer groups. Students reported positive perceptions of OERs, and feelings of recognitive justice were associated with final grades. Conclusion Undergraduate psychology students need exposure to marginalized pioneers prior to taking a history of psychology course. A more inclusive history of psychology curriculum improves students’ marginalized pioneer recognition and may benefit their course performance. Teaching Implications Given the absence of women and pioneers of color in commercial textbooks, teachers of the history of psychology should consider using OERs to achieve more diverse pioneer representation in their curricula.
