Fear of Missing Out (FOMO): The Effects of the Need to Belong, Perceived Centrality, and Fear of Social Exclusion
Authors: Alabri Amna 
Published: February 2022

“Fear of Missing Out” (FOMO) is an all-consuming feeling that is associated with mental and emotional stress. Such strains are caused by a compulsive concern that one is missing an opportunity for a socially rewarding experience often spotted on social media networks. While several personality and psychological factors have been empirically validated as correlated with FOMO, so far, little research has examined the effects of perceived group centrality (i.e., the extent to which group members feel included in the group) and fear of social exclusion on FOMO. Therefore, this study is aimed at examining the mechanism that links these socially driven factors and the need to belong with social media use and, consequently, FOMO, using structural equation modeling. A total of 490 college students (

) completed a self-reported questionnaire that included measures of FOMO, the need to belong, social media use, perceived centrality, and fear of social exclusion. The need to belong emerged as the best predictor of FOMO, increasing it both directly and indirectly through the significant mediation of social media use. Females reported a greater need to belong and consequently more FOMO. Females also reported greater use of social media and greater perceived group centrality. Perceived centrality increased FOMO through social media use, but this indirect effect was not significant.
Novel Adipokines <b><i>CTRP1</i></b>, <b><i>CTRP9</i></b>, and <b><i>FGF21</i></b> in Pediatric Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes: A Cross-Sectional Analysis

Published: February 2022

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Pediatric obesity and diabetes has increased over the last several decades. While the role of common adipokines on metabolic parameters has been well studied in adults, the relationship of novel adipokines and hepatokines in pediatric type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) is not well understood. This study assessed novel adipokines C1q/TNF-related proteins (<i>CTRP1</i> and <i>CTRP9</i>), and hepatokine fibroblast growth factor 21 (<i>FGF21</i>) in youth with T1D and T2D diabetes. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Participants (<i>n</i> = 80) with T1D (<i>n</i> = 40) enrolled in the Pediatric Diabetes Consortium (PDC) T1D NeOn registry, and T2D (<i>n</i> = 40) from the PDC T2D registry. Cross-sectional analysis compared adipokines (<i>CTRP1</i>, <i>CTRP9</i>, <i>FGF21</i>) between T1D and T2D, and regression models assessed adipokine relationship with clinical characteristics. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The mean age of the participants was 14.9 ± 2 years, and 50% were female. T2D participants had a shorter diabetes duration (<i>p</i> = 0.0009), higher weight (<i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.0001), and BMI (<i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.0001) than T1D participants. <i>CTRP9</i> levels were higher in T1D (13,903.6 vs. 3,608.5 pg/mL, <i>p</i> = 0.04) than T2D, and <i>FGF21</i> levels were higher in T2D (113.1 vs. 70.6 pg/mL, <i>p</i> = 0.03) than T1D, with no differences in <i>CTRP1</i>. In regression analysis of T1D, <i>CTRP9</i> was positively associated with C-peptide (<i>p</i> = 0.006), and <i>FGF21</i> was positively associated with hemoglobin A1c (<i>p</i> = 0.04). In T2D, <i>CTRP1</i> was positively associated with HbA1c (<i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.001) and glucose (<i>p</i> = 0.004), even after controlling for age, sex, and BMI. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> <i>CTRP9</i> levels are higher in youth with T1D compared to T2D, and <i>FGF21</i> levels are higher in youth with T2D than T1D. Novel adipokines are related to metabolic homeostasis in the inflammatory milieu of pediatric diabetes.
Mobbing behaviour in non-breeding flocks of a passerine bird in northern Patagonia

Published: February 2022

Abstract
Animal cooperation occurs in both genetically related and unrelated groups of individuals, involving costs and benefits that have not been fully elucidated. For example, risky behaviour such as mobbing a predator would be selected if participants are genetic relatives because they share a fraction of their gene pool (i.e., kin selection or indirect benefits). However, in the absence of genetic relatedness, benefits can be achieved by direct benefits such as reciprocity or mutualism, among others. In this study we analyzed the cooperative mobbing behaviour in winter flocks of an endemic passerine of the austral temperate forests, the Thorn-tailed rayadito (Aphrastura spinicauda). We first tested whether the probability of and the latency to mobbing response differed depending on the acoustic stimulus perceived by the flock (i.e., conspecific mobbing calls vs. predator calls), and whether the intensity of the mobbing was related to the number of individuals and species participating. We found that flocks were more likely to approach the predator when the acoustic signal was a conspecific mobbing call than when it was the predator’s call, and that the intensity of mobbing increased with the number of participants. Secondly, we explored if the level of kinship within the group potentially played a role in the development of the mobbing behaviour. The proportion of close-relatives found in these flocks was low, and the within- and among-flock degree of kinship did not differ. This suggests that kin selection might not be related with the expression of mobbing behaviour in winter flocks.
Verbal Construction of Destination Image through Tourists’ Word of Mouth with Guilin as a Reference for Destinations in China and around the World
Authors: Zhu Jianbin , Xia Jiangshan , Zhang Shuanghua 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
The discursive construction of strong and favorable destination image has been a recent topic of discussion in both discourse and tourism studies. Aiming at unpacking what image has been constructed about Guilin as a typical scenery destination in China, this study conducts a corpus based quantitative discourse analysis on tourists’ word of mouth data about Guilin. Specifically, drawing on the Latent Dirichlet Allocation model, this study conducts topic-based sentiment analyses on topics in online travelers’ review data to detect their sentiments and attitudes. Results indicate that international tourists, on the whole regard Guilin as an attractive destination in China with beautiful scenery, exciting river cruise and many other attractions, but improvements are still needed to boost the cost performance of traveling in Guilin. These findings are expected to provide useful insights for the development of tourist attractions in Guilin and in other similar scenery attractions around Asian and Africa as well, the promotion and marketing of their images as an international tourist destination, as well as the improvement of managerial practice. The methods proposed in the current study can also be used to analyze discursive construction of image in language big data in future studies.
The Western Appropriation of Syriac as a “Kabbalistic Language” by Later Christian Kabbalists
Authors: Vileno Anna M. 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
The article demonstrates that the knowledge of the Syriac language in Western Europe first developed amongst Christian scholars with a strong interest in Kabbalah and that they attributed a mystical dimension to the Syriac language that was not associated with it before. After a survey of the first authors that played a significant role in shaping the appropriation of Syriac as a mystical language (Teseo Ambrogio, Postel, Widmanstetter), I show that the newly discovered last work of Christian Knorr von Rosenroth constitutes the climax of that movement. The study of the later reception of Knorr’s work in modern occultism indicates that the Syriac language was eclipsed by the renewed favor of Hebrew language, considered as the magical and mystical language par excellence.
The Discursive Side of Sociological Institutionalism in the Study of Religion
Authors: Qadir Ali , Alasuutari Pertti 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
This article introduces sociological institutionalism and proposes a discursive addition for enhancing its utility for the study of religion. The article reviews neoinstitutionalist social theorizing and underlines its argument that agentic actorhood is constituted by and embedded in a world-spanning culture. We point out that the potential of this line of scholarship for the study of religion remains unexplored partly because it does not say much about the actual discursive practices that motivate actors to behave in concrete situations. We illustrate how a discursive approach to sociological institutionalism can fill this gap by highlighting the relational context that all actors intuitively take account of. We then offer a brief programmatic agenda for the study of religion under the rubric of epistemic governance, indicating the potential for new theoretical insights into the category of religion, some methodological implications, and empirical studies.
The Islamic Finance Contract between Indifference, Recharacterisation, and Invalidation: A Look at the Judicial Trends in Light of Economic and Regulatory Backgrounds in Egypt, Kuwait, and Oman
Authors: Azmy Hussein M. 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Despite the prominent role that the Islamic faith plays in shaping the social and regulatory aspects of Arab countries and the constitutional recognition of Islamic law (Sharīʿah) as a main source of legislation in most of these countries, judicial precedents regarding Islamic finance contracts remain scarce in the Arab world. This article sheds light on the judicial treatment of the validity and characterisation of Islamic finance contracts. It examines the economic and regulatory backgrounds of the Islamic finance industry in Egypt, Kuwait, and Oman. This examination provides a necessary prelude to the article’s discussion of the Islamic finance contract from jurisprudential and regulatory standpoints. It also provides a foundation for the analysis of noteworthy judicial precedents on the validity and characterisation of the Islamic finance contract. Following such analysis, this article makes recommendations to enhance the regulatory and judicial appreciation for the distinctiveness of Islamic finance.
City Diplomacy: An Introduction to the Forum
Authors: Amiri Sohaela 
Published: February 2022

Summary
Whilst city diplomacy as a topic of study is gaining more attention, the practice is often approached through fields other than the study of diplomacy or international relations. A commonly accepted framework, and the governance system that supports it, is missing to shape research and scholarship. This forum outlines the key parameters of a framework for city diplomacy rooted in earlier research and validated through five essays by geographically and professionally diverse authors. The framework introduced in this introduction structured the direction of the essays that are informed by academic research and by practitioners. The essays also propose policies and strategies to make city diplomacy more systematically and officially integrated into global affairs.
#HandsoffEthiopia: ‘Partiality’, Polarization and Ethiopia’s Tigray Conflict
Authors: Fisher Jonathan 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Over a year since the outbreak of war in Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region, the fighting continues. Indeed, the conflict theatre has now expanded considerably, with devastating consequences for many Ethiopians. With atrocities committed by all sides and a profound humanitarian crisis underway, the conflict currently stands as testament to the emptiness of Responsibility to Protect (R2P) commitments made by states and organisations across the world. This essay highlights two problematiques the Tigray conflict, and its consequences, raise for supporters and practitioners of R2P. The first relates to the relationships between R2P, social media access and governance, the second the ease with which R2P calls by Western actors especially can intersect with domestic discourses around cynical, untrustworthy and disingenuous outsiders. This is particularly so in a region where Western agendas have traditionally focused on their own geo-strategic and security concerns. Both, it is suggested, have served to reinforce the positions of the respective belligerents, making peace – sadly – a more distant prospect.
Behind the Leverage of Taiwan’s New Southbound Policy: New Market Opportunities and Disproving Confrontation
Authors: Teng Jiunn-Cherng 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Currently, many of Taiwan’s New Southbound Policy reports show that Taiwan’s primary motivations are to cooperate with Southeast Asia, the Asia-Pacific, and South Asia to decrease their dependence on mainland China. Taiwan’s government aims to leverage Taiwan’s assets to enhance regional integration with these countries. However, there is still a lack of research on the purpose behind the policy. Why is Taiwan now seemingly using a policy of confrontation instead of avoidance? This paper argues that the policy intent behind the New Southbound Policy is not to directly confront mainland China, despite Beijing’s pressure on Taiwan. This hypothesis will be explored by analysing and comparing the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road and the New Southbound Policy.
‘The Future of Taiwan Studies in the Post-covid World’: Online Series on ‘covid and Governance: Global and Social Solidarity’, 31 July 2020
Authors: Lee Po-Han , Yang Ya-Wen , Wu Harry Yi-Jui , Liu Wen 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
The covid-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted research communities and agendas worldwide, including Taiwan studies. Consequently, the largest conferences for Taiwan studies in both North America and Europe were cancelled in 2020. In response, the North American Taiwan Studies Association, the European Association of Taiwan Studies, the Japan Association for Taiwan Studies, and the International Journal of Taiwan Studies jointly organised a series of online forums that aimed to encompass transnational and interdisciplinary approaches to Taiwan studies in the context of envisioning a post-covid world. This report summarises the first event, on ‘covid and Governance: Global and Social Solidarity’, which speaks directly to a moment of chaos, frustration, and yet hopefulness for Taiwan. It presents the papers of three discussants—Drs Ya-Wen Yang, Harry Yi-Jui Wu, and Wen Liu—who identified and explored the theoretical potential and limits of different ‘keywords’ popularised during the pandemic period.
Morbid Symptoms: What Did Gramsci Really Mean?
Authors: Achcar Gilbert 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
One of Gramsci’s most quoted phrases is his 1930 statement in the Prison Notebooks that ‘[t]he crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear’. This has traditionally been taken to refer to the emergence of fascism against a background of capitalist crisis and failure of anti-capitalist forces. However, a closer examination of the textual and historical context of that sentence indicates that Gramsci was more likely to have been referring to the pci’s ultraleft turn in conjunction with the Comintern’s Third Period.
Zabel Yesayan: The Myth of the Armenian Transnational Moment
Authors: Chahinian Talar 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
The collection of pieces that follow intersect with what I refer to in this essay as the dual performative acts of iconification and translation that frame our approach to Zabel Yesayan over the last few decades. Maral Aktokmakyan’s critical essay, “So Did We Really Find Yesayan?: Notes on ‘Yesayan Studies’ and Beyond” coins the author’s recent iconification as “Yesayan fever” and warns us that the emergent sub-field of Yesayan Studies may be overly reliant on translations and thus endangering the integrity of the author’s original literary voice in Armenian. Meriam Belli and Elyse Semerdjian offer us two translations from French, of a speech and a report drafted by Yesayan in Paris, in 1919. Belli’s “Chronicle: The Role of Armenian Women during the War” and Semerdjian’s “The Liberation of non-Muslim Women and Children in Turkey: Notes on the question of the abduction of non-Muslim women and children by the Turks, retained until today by Muslims” give us a glimpse of Yesayan’s work as an activist and capture the author’s haunting style of testimonial writing. As Semerdjian notes in her subsequent analytical discussion of the translation, Yesayan’s report not only reveals the gendered mode of the Armenian genocide and women’s victimhood within it, but it also calls for political action in addressing the plight of Armenian women and highlights their capacity for resistance. Together, this collection of think-pieces and translations contributes to the ongoing debates of searching for Yesayan’s elusive figure and understanding Yesayan the writer, but it ultimately guides the reader back to her own words.
The Humanitarian Sector Needs Clear Job Profiles for Climate Science Translators Now More than Ever
Authors: Enenkel Markus , Kruczkiewicz Andrew 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
A new generation of climate science translators (CSTs) is currently evolving, both as independent professionals and affiliated with humanitarian agencies. While people in this role represent an opportunity to foster communication and collaboration between climate science, humanitarian decision-support, policy, and decision-making, there are neither clear job profiles nor established criteria for success. Based on an analysis of job opportunities published on one of the largest humanitarian and development aid job portals, we show that the demand for CSTs has been increasing since 2011. Subsequently, we present a characterization of core skills for the next generation of CSTs aiming to establish a space for not only current CSTs to thrive, but also a path for future translators to follow, with milestones and opportunities for recognition.
Convective Response in a Cloud-Permitting Simulation of the MJO: Time Scales and Processes
Authors: Liu Yan , Tan Zhe-Min , Wu Zhaohua 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Convective response under multiscale forcing is investigated in this study using a month-long cloud-permitting simulation of the MJO. Convective response time scale (τ) is defined as the time lag between moisture convergence and convective heating. Results imply that τ is dependent on spatial and temporal scales of convective systems. Particularly, estimated τ for slowly varying signals (periods above 2.0 days) on the microscale and synoptic scale is about 0 and 0.5 days, corresponding to instantaneous and noninstantaneous responses, respectively. There are two main phases related to the processes of convective response: shallow convection development and shallow-to-deep convection transition. They are controlled by synoptic-scale boundary layer moisture convergence (M) and lower-tropospheric specific humidity (qm). In the first phase, as qm is small and lags the development of shallow convection, shallow convection occurrence is solely dominated by M (given suitable thermodynamic conditions in the boundary layer). In the second phase, shallow convection further preconditions the atmosphere for shallow-to-deep convection transition by sustaining M and qm through noninstantaneous convection–convergence feedback, i.e., shallow convection drives large-scale circulation that enhances moisture convergence and upward moisture transport. Additionally, eddy moisture upward transport by shallow convection itself (instantaneous convection–convergence feedback) also contributes to an increase of qm. The comparison of the initiation and propagation stages of MJO indicates that τ is shorter in the propagation stage since M and qm are larger therein.
Quantifying the Contribution of Internal Atmospheric Drivers to Near-Term Projection Uncertainty in September Arctic Sea Ice
Authors: Shen Zili , Duan Anmin , Li Dongliang , Li Jinxiao 
Published: February 2022

AbstractArctic sea ice has undergone rapid loss in all months of the year in recent decades, especially in September. The September sea ice extent (SSIE) in the multimodel ensemble mean of climate models shows a large divergence from observations since the 2000s, which indicates the potential influence of internal variability on SSIE decadal variations. Reasons previously identified for the accelerated decrease in SSIE are largely related to the tendency toward a barotropic geopotential height rise in summer over the Arctic. We used a 40-member ensemble of simulation by the Community Earth System Model version 1 (CESM1) and a 100-member ensemble simulation by the Max Planck Institute Earth System Model (MPI-ESM) to reveal that the internal variability of the local atmosphere circulation change can contribute 12%–17% to the uncertainties in the projected SSIE changes during 2016–45 in both CESM-LE and MPI-ESM. The tropical Pacific Ocean may act as a remote driver for the sea ice melting but the coupling between them is more intense on decadal time scales than that on year-to-year scales. Our quantitative estimation of the contribution of the internal atmospheric circulation to SSIE during the next three decades may be underestimated due to models’ inability to capture the observed Rossby wave train originating from the tropical Pacific Ocean propagating into the Arctic. Further efforts toward investigating causes of the model limitations and quantifying the contribution of local and remote component to Arctic sea ice on different time scales may help to improve the future sea ice prediction.
Properties and Drivers of Marine Heat Waves in the Northern South China Sea
Authors: Wang Qiang , Zhang Bo , Zeng Lili , He Yunkai , Wu Zewen , Chen Ju 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
The properties and heat budget of marine heat waves (MHWs) on the northern South China Sea (SCS) continental shelf are investigated. MHWs with warming amplitudes above 1.5°C occur mainly along the coast, and their temperature anomaly decreases toward the open sea. MHWs with 1°–1.5°C warming and duration < 20 days dominate the northern SCS continental shelf. A heat budget analysis indicates that the main heat source is the sea surface net heat flux. Oceanic processes are dominated by the advection of mean temperature by the anomalous horizontal velocity (advha). The net contribution of advha always cools the upper layer of the ocean, resulting in the decay of MHWs. Active cross-slope water exchanges exist at the east and west sides of the northern SCS continental shelf edge, which makes the dominant contributions to the advha. In the MHW developing phase, the west (east) side makes a positive (negative) contribution to the advha. In the decay phase, both sides make a negative contribution to the advha, resulting in the rapid decay of MHWs. Although the contribution of advha to the heat budget varies along the northern SCS continental shelf edge, its net effect always cools the MHWs over the shelf. These results provide new insight into the characteristics and formation mechanism of MHWs on the northern SCS continental shelf; in particular, they clarify the respective contributions of air–sea flux and oceanic processes to MHWs.

Significance Statement
Marine heat waves (MHWs) are unusual warming events in oceans that heavily affect marine ecosystems and arouse great concern from citizens. MHWs are active in the northern South China Sea (SCS) continental shelf. On the northern SCS continental shelf, the sea surface net heat flux is the main heat source of MHWs, and ocean current anomalies always cool the upper layer of the ocean. Active cross-slope water exchange at the east and west sides of the northern SCS continental shelf edge is the main oceanic way that cools the water on the shelf, eventually resulting in the decay of MHWs.
