Spain and the Early Cold War
Authors: Young Glennys J. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This article challenges long-standing assumptions about Spain’s status in the international system during the first several years of the Cold War, from 1945 to 1950. These assumptions constitute the “isolation paradigm,” which emphasizes Spain’s exclusion from the United Nations (UN), the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the various Councils of Foreign Ministers, and other major international institutions, supposedly keeping the country internationally isolated and unable to pursue its interests during the early Cold War. The article debunks the “isolation paradigm” and supplants it with “informal integration.” The United States, the Soviet Union, and Great Britain embarked on numerous initiatives with Spain despite isolationist rhetoric and policy, and the Spanish authorities sought to counter formal exclusion from international institutions and to engage in other types of diplomatic, economic, and cultural interaction. From this perspective, it becomes clear that 1946—not 1947 or 1950, as other scholars have argued—marked a decisive year for Spain’s efforts in these areas.
Tēvāram: Worshipping Gods on Stage
Authors: Mucciarelli Elena 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Building on the idea of “ritual quotation,” this article offers a new perspective on rituals enacted within contemporary theatrical performances in South India. Drawing from an existing corpus and reproduced in a different framework, the ritual tēvāram is embedded in a broad web of intertextual relationships comprised not only of items of repertoire and prescriptive manuals, but also of elements of ritual practices, shared beliefs, claims of social status, and ongoing negotiations between individual imagination and collective expectations.
Usually a Nampūtiri domestic ritual, tēvāram is also carried out within Kūṭiyāṭṭam performances. Through a detailed analysis, I argue that the enactment of tēvāram on stage is not merely the stylized reproduction of a religious service, but it is rather an integral part of the narrative and aesthetic body of the theater practice. The performative and textual milieu of tēvāram creates scope for variations that modify both the plot and the tēvāram ritual itself. Kūṭiyāṭṭam-tēvāram thus becomes a transformative action and a tool of negotiation in the positioning of individuals within the social matrix.
Moving Beyond Religious Clichés: A Review
Authors: Hubina Milos 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
The article reviews the most recent systematic effort to correct some of the widespread misconceptions about religion: Brad Stoddard and Craig Martin’s edited volume Stereotyping Religion: Critiquing Clichés (2017) and Tenzan Eaghll’s article “Religious Clichés” (2015). It argues that the joint goal becomes problematic due to some empirical and logical distortions, which mainly result from the emphasis on the relativist message offsetting the impartial assessment of facts and their implications. It argues for integrating the biological and cultural explanations of religion and offers some proposals toward identifying the contemporary clichés that impede progress in our understanding of the phenomenon.
Josephus’s Lamentations in the Judean War: Body, Emotional Resistance, and Gender
Authors: Mirguet Françoise 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
In the Judean War’s proem, Josephus professes his need to lament, an atypical statement in Hellenistic and Roman historiography. This article explores his lamentations, in the proem and the work, as they engage body, emotion, gender, and power. It examines the constructions that laments receive in Josephus’s diverse literary and cultural backgrounds—biblical and early Jewish literature as well as ancient Greek and Roman traditions. It also considers how the War reflects these constructions. Josephus’s laments, staging his wailing voice and suffering body, suggest self-abasement. However, his protagonists’ laments often convey resistance and rebellion, a traditional function of laments; they thus shed a more political light on the proem. Josephus masculinizes the typically feminine lamenter-qua-protester figure, perhaps to avoid feminizing his own role. This article interprets Josephus’s laments as an embodiment of his carefully subversive account and as emotional resistance against the Roman power.
Transparency and Predictability in the Maritime Delimitation Process: Reverse-engineering the Somalia-Kenya Adjudicated Boundary
Authors: Bekker Pieter , Schofield Clive , van de Poll Robert 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
This article analyses the adjudicated boundary between Somalia and Kenya in the Indian Ocean through an integrated law-and-science approach. Using recent high-resolution satellite imagery and specialised boundary software, it seeks to ‘reverse-engineer’ the 12 October 2021 ruling of the International Court of Justice with a particular focus on issues of transparency and predictability. The article highlights how ambiguities in the identification of basepoints underlying an adjudicated boundary and the reliance on a relatively small-scale nautical chart based on dated surveys that does not reflect the physical reality of the relevant coast could undermine the authority of an adjudicated boundary obtained after years of legal proceedings. Addressing the issue of technical support in decision-making on adjudicated boundaries, the article proposes various means to reduce controversies regarding maritime boundary delimitation and to make the delimitation process more transparent and predictable.
The Resurgence of the Unified Arab Investment Agreement and the Organisation for Islamic Cooperation Investment Agreement
Authors: Wahab Mohamed S. Abdel , Duggal Kabir 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Multilateral investment treaties (MIT s) are international legal instruments whose purpose is to, inter alia, facilitate social and economic cooperation on regional and/or global scales. While there is abundant literature and decisions on MIT s generally, there has been scant analysis of such instruments executed in the Arab and Muslim-majority worlds.
This book discusses two such instruments: the Unified Agreement for the Investment of Arab Capital in the Arab States and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation Agreement for Promotion, Protection and Guarantee of Investments Among Member States. These investment agreements are among the oldest MIT s in the modern world. The UAA was approved at the 11th Arab Summit Conference held in Amman, Jordan, in November 1980. The OIC Agreement was opened for signature on June 1–5, 1981 and entered into force on February 25, 1988. It is only recently, however, that these two long-dormant treaties have acquired special significance. This book provides a comprehensive, critical review of these two treaties that remain to be fully tested and utilized.
Diving into Water Diplomacy – Exploring the Emergence of a Concept
Authors: Sehring Jenniver , Schmeier Susanne , Horst Rozemarijn ter , Offutt Alyssa , Sharipova Bota 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
The term “water diplomacy” has gained currency among policy makers and academics. It reflects an awareness that the use, management, and protection of transboundary water resources is intrinsically political and often embedded in complex political settings. Based on a review of academic and policy documents, we analyze the variety of understandings and common patterns in the definition of water diplomacy. We also analyze tools, tracks, and levels through which and at which water diplomacy is conducted or analyzed. With our own definition of water diplomacy as deliberative political processes and practices of preventing, mitigating, and resolving disputes over transboundary water resources and developing joint water governance arrangements by applying foreign policy means which are embedded in bi- and/or multilateral relations beyond the water sector and taking place at different tracks and scales, we aim to advance the discourse on water diplomacy both in the academic and policy realms.
“American Dream – Soviet Reality”: Industrialization and Environmentalism in Soviet Cold War Public Diplomacy
Authors: Koskina Mariia 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Expo ’67 in Montreal and Expo ’74 in Spokane took strikingly different stances regarding human-nature relations. The title of the first was “Man and His World.” Here, the Soviet pavilion exhibited the Krasnoyarsk Dam to showcase its conquest of nature. The exploitation of “idle” Siberian resources, like hydro-energy, was bound to fulfill the promise to “catch and overtake” the United States. Yet, the global environmental awakening of the 1960s added a “green race” to existing Cold War races and propelled environmental cooperation. Spokane’s Expo became the first environmental world's fair with the motto “Progress without Pollution.” Now, the ussr exhibited the Krasnoyarsk Dam as an inseparable part of the landscape and the new “green” socialist settlements to demonstrate the industry’s harmony with nature. An envoy for Soviet environmentalism, the display was responsive both to raising global concerns and to the detrimental environmental consequences of industrialization on the ground in Siberia.
Suspended in Time and Space: A Carved Heraldic Panel from Nicosia
Authors: Papacostas Tassos 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
A stone panel bearing a heraldic shield surmounted by a bust of the Virgin and Child flanked by kneeling supplicants in low relief survives today on the façade of an early twentieth-century house in the Old Town of Nicosia. Barely noticed in publications on Cypriot heraldry, it has escaped scrutiny. Yet it raises the same questions as any other object deprived of its original function and context: How can the modern observer use and interpret such a lone witness, seemingly hovering in time and space, at first sight totally anonymous and therefore mute? In order to give it a voice and demonstrate the value of every single piece of evidence from a period whose material culture remains surprisingly underexplored, this essay endeavours to identify the two coats-of-arms on the shield, to link them to individuals documented in the written record, and ultimately to provide an approximate date for the panel and to reconstruct its wider context. As demonstrated, it belongs to the later fifteenth century and the early decades of Venetian rule on Cyprus (1474/89-1570/71), a period of rapid change on all fronts for the island. Its iconography and style are briefly discussed in terms of craftsmanship and as testimonies to the cultural references and aspirations of members of a social class that has left behind little beyond textual attestations, drawing conclusions at the same time about its function within the built environment of Venetian Nicosia.

Published: September 2022

Background Granular cell tumor (GCT) is a very rare, slow-growing, benign neoplasm with a controversial etiology, recently believed to be derived from Schwann cells. Hardly grows large and is also infrequently seen in children. Seventy percent of this tumor is seen in the head and neck with 1/3 in other parts of the body. Seldom occurs in the parotid gland and more so, the deep lobe of the parotid, where it may initially be asymptomatic but when large, it may result in respiratory obstruction. Case report : An 8-year-old female presented with a large right lateral upper neck-facial swelling of 3 months duration with a change in voice, difficulty swallowing, and respiratory distress. We reported an uncommon case of GCT of the deep lobe of parotid in a child with respiratory distress due to tumor obstruction of the airway. Tumor excision with preservation of the facial nerve was successfully performed. The histopathological report confirms the diagnosis of GCT. The child recovered to full general health with no signs of recurrence. Conclusion Granular cell tumor is a rare neoplasm, treatment is local surgical excision. Recurrence is uncommon, even if the lesion is not entirely removed. Microscopically this tumor may mimic a malignancy because of pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia of the overlying epithelium. The pathologist should be aware of this possibility to avoid a mistaken diagnosis of cancer.

Abstract
Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) is a rare clonal stem cell disorder that occurs in early childhood and is characterized by the hyperactivation of the RAS pathway in 95% of the patients. JMML is characterized by a hyperproliferation of granulocytes and monocytes, and little is known about the heterogeneous nature of leukemia-initiating cells, as well as of the cellular hierarchy of the JMML bone marrow. In this study, we report the generation and characterization of a novel patient-derived three-dimensional (3D) in vitro JMML model, called patient-derived JMML Atypical Organoid (pd-JAO), sustaining the long-term proliferation of JMML cells with stem cell features and patient-specific hallmarks. JMML cells brewed in a 3D model under different microenvironmental conditions acquired proliferative and survival advantages when placed under low oxygen tension. Transcriptomic and microscopic analyses revealed the activation of specific metabolic energy pathways and the inactivation of processes leading to cell death. Furthermore, we demonstrated the pd-JAO–derived cells’ migratory, propagation, and self-renewal capacities. Our study contributes to the development of a robust JMML 3D in vitro model for studying and defining the impact of microenvironmental stimuli on JMML disease and the molecular mechanisms that regulate JMML initiating and propagating cells. Pd-JAO may become a promising model for compound tests focusing on new therapeutic interventions aimed at eradicating JMML progenitors and controlling JMML disease.
Elastic interaction in multiple bolted timber joints
Authors: Matsubara Doppo , Teranishi Masaki , Wakashima Yoshiaki 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThe management of axial forces is an important issue when a joining method that takes into account the axial forces generated by tightening bolts is applied to the bolted joints of a wooden structure during construction. This study focuses on elastic interactions in which the axial force of adjacent bolts changes as a result of sequential tightening of each bolt in multiple bolted joints affecting the deformation around each of the other bolts. To this end, tightening experiments are conducted within the elastic range, with the tightening sequence, bolt spacing, and wood thickness set as parameters. From the results, it was found that variations in axial force tended to decrease as bolt spacing increases. In addition, an evaluation formula for calculating fluctuations in axial force due to elastic interactions was derived. By comparing the calculated value to the experimental value, it was found that as bolt spacing was increased, the calculated value tended to capture the experimental values well.

Published: September 2022

AbstractMetasurface can use artificial microstructures to manipulate electromagnetic waves more accurately and flexibly. All-dielectric metalens have a wide range of materials and low cost so it has a wide application prospect. Herein, we propose a all-dielectric achromatic metalens built with Si as the structural unit that can operate over a broadband of wavelengths in the visible region. It controls the wavefront of light through the Pancharatnam–Berry phase and propagation phase to eliminate the chromatic aberration. Meanwhile, we also use Gerchberg–Saxton algorithm and its improved algorithm to iterate over multiple design wavelengths and obtain holographic phases suitable for broadband. Thus, both the metalenses and holographic metasurfaces can achieve achromatic broadband in the visible light range, which provides a new method for the development of meta-optical imaging devices.
Comprehensive analysis of key genes and pathways for biological and clinical implications in thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy

Published: September 2022

AbstractBackgroundThyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) is a common and organ-specific autoimmune disease. Early diagnosis and novel treatments are essential to improve the prognosis of TAO patients. Therefore, the current work was performed to identify the key genes and pathways for the biological and clinical implications of TAO through comprehensive bioinformatics analysis and a series of clinical validations.MethodsGSE105149 and GSE185952 were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database for analysis. The data were normalized to identify the common differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the two datasets, and the Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were conducted to assess key pathways in TAO. Protein–protein interaction (PPI) networks and hub genes among the common DEGs were identified. Furthermore, we collected the general information and blood samples from 50 TAO patients and 20 healthy controls (HCs), and the expression levels of the proteins encoded by hub genes in serum were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Then we further assessed the relationship between the ELISA data and the TAO development.ResultsSeveral common pathways, including neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction, the IL-17 signaling pathway, and the TNF signaling pathway, were identified in both datasets. In parallel, 52 common DEGs were identified. The KEGG analysis showed that these common DEGs are mainly enriched in long-term depression, the VEGF signaling pathway, the IL-17 signaling pathway, the TNF signaling pathway, and cytokine-cytokine receptor interactions. The key hub genes PRKCG, OSM, DPP4, LRRTM1, CXCL6, and CSF3R were screened out through the PPI network. As confirmation, the ELISA results indicated that protein expression levels of PRKCG, OSM, CSF3R, and DPP4 were significantly upregulated in TAO patients compared with HCs. In addition, PRKCG and DPP4 were verified to show value in diagnosing TAO, and CSF3R was found to be a valuable diagnostic marker in distinguishing active TAO from inactive TAO.ConclusionsInflammation- and neuromodulation-related pathways might be closely associated with TAO. Based on the clinical verification, OSM, CSF3R, CXCL6, DPP4, and PRKCG may serve as inflammation- or neuromodulation-related biomarkers for TAO, providing novel insights for the diagnosis and treatment of TAO.

Abstract
Background
Pediatric anesthesia care in the Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a challenge for clinicians. The recent debate about the role of anesthetic agent on neural development, encouraged an evaluation of their actual activity in this environment. In this active call survey, the authors sought to delineate the Italian situation regarding national centers, staff involved, monitoring tools available and sedation techniques.

Methods
A complete sample of all national centers performing almost a pediatric discharge in the 2014 was obtained from Health Ministry registers. All Institutions were contacted for a prospective phone investigation and a three-section survey was fill out with the Physician in charge. A descriptive and exploratory analyzes about the organization setting of the Centers were performed.

Results
Among 876 Institution screened, only 106 (37%) met minimal criteria for inclusion. Children are managed by anesthesiologists in the 95% of cases, while neonates in the 54%. A dedicated nurse is present in 74% of centers. While a pulse oximetry is present in 100% of centers, the rate of prevalence of other monitoring is lower. A specific MRI-compatible ventilator is available in the 95% of Centers, but many tools are not equally homogenously distributed. Pharmacological approach is preferred in pediatric age (98%), but its use for newborns is reduced to 43%.

Conclusions
We found significant heterogeneity in the daily clinical practice of sedation in MRI. Our results could be a starting point to evaluate the further evolution of approach to children and neonates in magnetic resonance setting.
