Growing Up on the Wrong Side of the Mechitza: A Case Study of Contemporary Queer Jewish Language
Authors: Perleberg Ellen , Dy Grace Elizabeth C. 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
This article presents vocabulary and approaches for expressing LGBTQ+ identities and practices, which derive from Jewish tradition used by queer Jews in the Seattle area. From thirty-four semi-structured interviews with affiliates of Seattle Jewish life, the authors identify eight tokens of queer Jewish English vocabulary, including multilingual wordplay used to construct new terms for queer concepts, the mechitza as a spatial idiom for transgender identity, and “Talmudic genders” being reclaimed as contemporary nonbinary identities. Additionally, queer Jews utilize a variety of approaches to navigate Hebrew, from formal efforts like the Nonbinary Hebrew Project to invoking low-proficiency-driven circumlocution. These approaches demonstrate that queer Jews draw on a range of linguistic and cultural resources to describe their identities and experiences, and the distribution of queer language reflects the continued challenge cis-heteronormatively gendered religious practices present for queer Jews and the corresponding need for queer Jewish vocabulary to make space within them.
Visualizing a Common World of Entanglement through Multiple Viewpoints
Authors: Myrstad Anne , Kleemann Carola 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
The authors explore how multiple viewpoints can challenge our habitualised way of viewing and expand the area of thinking about children’s outdoor learning. They draw on micro-fieldwork in a Sámi kindergarten in Arctic Norway. There, learning through participation and practical experiences is a traditional strategy in child rearing. This method of learning is currently being transformed in Sámi kindergartens, wherein the goal is to strengthen the Sámi language, identity and culture. The authors’ aim is to explore how learning through participation in pedagogical practices could be made visible by employing different viewpoints. They used GoPro® cameras worn on children’s bodies, combined with their own gaze, as well as a handheld video camera used by one of the authors. Such a combination of viewpoints allowed gaining an insight into the complex outdoor kindergarten practices. Drawing on Jayne White’s polyphonic dialogical approach to video, the authors placed these diverse viewpoints in a dialogue during the process of analysis. These dialogues revealed our pre-defined human-centric view and effected a change in our theoretical approach, from socio-cultural learning theories to new materialist theories, to include the premise that children learn in all interactions and entanglements that they are part of in a socio-material world.
Transformations of Piety and Patronage in the Classical Urdu Marṡiyah
Authors: Knapczyk Peter 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
This paper examines the changing roles and status of marṡiyah poets within hierarchies of political and religious authority during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. A direct link between the marṡiyah tradition and these institutions was a system of patronage that bound poets to the brokers of power. Although in the early 1700s marṡiyah poets were often dismissed as “inept poets,” in subsequent generations marṡiyah poets were nurtured by the patronage of political rulers and counted among the masters of Urdu literature. The Navābs of Avadh in particular, with their promotion of Shīʿī ritual in their capital Lucknow, helped to widen the audience for the marṡiyah. Such temporal rulers appropriated the marṡiyah’s wide appeal as a strategy for fostering social and cultural cohesion among an otherwise diverse population. The Urdu marṡiyah gave expression to the localized concerns and novel self-understanding of the Navābs as they broke politically and ideologically from Mughal rule. These changes in the systems of patronage for the marṡiyah and the genre’s unique association with Avadh’s political and religious project resulted in marṡiyah poets’ growing status in both literary and religious circles. As marṡiyah poets began to feature prominently in the religious life of Avadh, their authority and pious personas came to strain relations with marṡiyah poets’ more worldly patrons. By the mid-1800s, the growing power and influence of the British had undermined the traditional systems of literary patronage for the marṡiyah. But as marṡiyah poets sought out new sources of patronage, they helped extend Urdu’s popularity to distant regional centers. Across India, marṡiyah poets were instrumental in establishing networks of patronage and creating models of language and performance that were influential in Urdu literary circles well beyond the marṡiyah genre, placing such poets as Mīr Anīs and Mirzā Dabīr at the vanguard of crafting the cosmopolitan orientation of Urdu literary culture.
Caring for Our Human Nature
Authors: McTavish James 
Published: May 2022

The care for creation is an important call for all. Our human bodies form part of this created reality and should be treated with dignity and respect. Pope Benedict XVI underlined the ecology of man. Pope Francis took up this teaching in his pontificate, encouraging us to welcome the gift of our body, and critiquing ideologies which undermine the respect due our bodies. Proponents of the so-called “gender ideology” affirm surgery on the body, which generally involves the removal of healthy functioning tissues and organs, is largely mutilating, and can involve exorbitant costs. The voices of those who have “detransitioned” such as Keira Bell need also to be heard. The Congregation for Catholic Education, in its document “Male and Female He Created Them: Toward a Path of Dialogue on the Question of Gender Theory in Education” warns us against theories that aim to annihilate the concept of “nature,” that is, everything we have been given as a pre-existing foundation of our being and action in the world. Our growing awareness of the importance of the environment and nature can lead us to a greater respect for our own human nature. We are all called to participate in the care for nature and creation, especially of our bodies as part of the created reality. Non-technical summary Many voices today remind us to take care of nature and creation. Our bodies are part of this created reality. Proponents of gender ideology do not hesitate to promote surgery which radically alters and even mutilates the body. Our increasing ecological awareness can help us grow more sensitive to the ecology of man and woman, and value the gift of the nature and body given to each one of us. Short summary Let us take care of nature and creation, including our own bodies.

Published: May 2022

Purpose Leap Motion Controller is a device that can capture hand gestures and reproduce these as data comprising several parametric elements. We analyzed surgical suture motion using this device and investigated the optical methodology for clinical applications. Methods We recruited medical students and residents (novice group) and vascular surgeons (specialist group). The operators applied sutures once on a prosthetic graft, and the captured motion was analyzed. Results Ten novices, who each received procedural instruction for at least 2 h, and 10 specialists were recruited. The hand gesture consisted of four elements (roll, pitch, yaw, and wrist angle). Since “roll” was the only element in this simple suture movement that showed some difference between the two groups, we analyzed three parameters: (1) the suturing time, (2) the difference in the degree between two piercing points, and (3) slope of the roll. We found that the specialist group demonstrated significantly shorter suturing times and a larger degree of the slope. Conclusion Leap Motion Controller analysis with the roll revealed that the novices could use the roll motion after only 2 h of instruction; however, the suturing speed and smoothness were secondary to those of the specialists.

This article addresses the research and development of a reliable interconnection technique for mounting surface mounted device components onto newly developed conductive stretchable textile ribbons. The alternative nonconductive adhesive bonding in which electrical contact is realized only by mechanical pressure and fixed by an adhesive and the conventional soldering technique were selected for examination. Assessment of the performance of these techniques and their usability for interconnecting components on conductive textile ribbons was also our research goal. Reliability tests of the electrical and mechanical properties of realized interconnections (dry heat, damp heat, washing, electrical current load, jerk, and stretch tests) were realized. The results show that the nonconductive adhesive technique results in good mechanical properties and acceptable median electrical resistance of less than 2 Ω even after 90 washing cycles. It is also very gentle and fully compatible with textile production due to the maximal processing temperature lower than 70°C, without the risk of short circuit occurrence. This technique is suitable for sensors, illumination or data transfer applications. While soldering results in excellent median electrical resistance of less than 20 mΩ, it is more complex and costly. Moreover, there is a risk of short circuits as well as of textile damage by the high thermal load over 150°C. Soldering is more suitable for power supply applications or heating. The above-mentioned results were also confirmed in a decision analysis with pairwise comparisons, involving company representatives considering introducing the above-mentioned interconnection techniques into their production. The nonconductive adhesive technique was evaluated as 15% better in overall decision analysis than the low-temperature soldering.
Surgical outcomes and the factors affecting lung expansion following open window thoracostomy in chronic tuberculous empyema with destroyed lung
Authors: Dantis Klein , Kumar Dewan Ravindra 
Published: May 2022

Background Patients with chronic tuberculous empyema and destroyed lung on a prolonged intercostal tube with failed lung expansion considered unsuitable for single-lung ventilation have poor outcomes. The study's objective was to analyze the surgical outcomes and lung expansion factors in these patients following the open window thoracostomy (OWT) procedure. Methods In a prospective study, patients (males = 63, females = 12) diagnosed with tuberculosis who underwent OWT were analyzed between 2017 and 2018. Factors including age, sex, side, comorbidities, body mass index (BMI), bacteriological culture, and patency of OWT site were evaluated for lung expansion. Results Mean preoperative weight 40.96 ± 5.70 kg increased significantly postoperatively. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (30.66%) was the most typical organism isolated and smoking (21.3%) was the common risk factor. At 6-month follow-up, complete lung expansion was noted in 60% of patients, while partial and no expansion is seen in 17.3% and 22.3% patients. Similarly 82.4% patients with pre-operative BMI>18.5 kg/m2 had complete lung expansion, while with BMI < 18.5 kg/m2, 41.7% and 45.8% had partial and no-expansion. Complete lung expansion was seen in 97.1%, 18.2%, and 23.1% of patients with obliterated OWT, sputum, and pleural pus positive for acid-fast bacilli (active disease), while in 57.9% of patients with comorbidities, complete lung expansion was absent. Conclusion The analysis of various factors concludes that lung expansion is not affected by age, sex, side of the disease, and co-morbid conditions; however, extensively diseased lungs with low BMI and positive bacteriological culture, especially P. aeruginosa, active disease, smoking, and patent OWT, interfered with the expansion of the lung.
Pro-American, Anti-Communist Propaganda, Stupidification, and Thai Identity in Two Cold War Novellas
Authors: Feangfu Janit 
Published: May 2022

AbstractThe fear of “communist subversion” in Thailand from the 1950s to the 1970s played a crucial role in the ongoing government control of public knowledge and the anti-communist propaganda. The companion piece novellas Made in USA and A Complete Idiot (Made in USA 2) by Sujit Wongthes (1973), a leading independent writer, disclosed the truth about the Vietnam War and challenged the pro-American hype in the context of 1970s Thailand. Made in USA achieved this through a blend of travelogue and journalist distance; A Complete Idiot through a portrayal of the internal struggle of a young Thai man who grew up under the extensive influence of the Thai state's pro-American, anti-communist propaganda. In A Complete Idiot, the protagonist's state of blissful ignorance crumbles when his old “knowledge” of the “evil communist” and Thai-American relations are juxtaposed with new(s) information about the 1971 reconciliation between the US and the People's Republic of China. Reading the two novellas critically, this article investigates how the state-instilled perceptions of communism and propaganda construct a Thai identity that becomes inadequate vis-à-vis a different set of information. It also looks at the extent to which Thai internal politics was subsumed into the international politics of the Cold War and how such an entanglement informed Thai national identity. Finally, this article argues that the two novellas at once challenge the Thai government at the time and subvert its projection of the US. In doing so, the novellas open up a new space for alternative Thai cultural identities.
The Dialogue between Confucianism and its Translations
Authors: Kallio Jyrki 
Published: May 2022

AbstractUsing the translation of Confucian classics as an example, this article discusses the possibility for translations to serve as two-way bridges between two cultures. While translating is often seen as a one-way process, used to export ideas from the source language and culture to those of the recipients, the challenges in translating, and the solutions offered by the translator, may provide valuable insight, even to the benefit of the source culture. This article looks at the Confucian concept of ren (仁), and through its differing translations in different source texts and contexts, suggests that an understanding reached through translation may enrich the intuitive or even analytical understanding of the concept that pre-exists in the Chinese context.
Diagnostic performance of clusterin in hepatocellular carcinoma: A meta-analysis
Authors: Gao Ge , Luan Xuke 
Published: May 2022

Introduction Clusterin (CLU) is a pleiotropic protein with numerous functions. It has recently attracted considerable attention owing to its association with cancer progression and metastasis. However, its role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not been investigated. This meta-analysis is the first evaluation of the diagnostic performance of CLU in HCC. Methods Articles published in PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, and China Science and Technology Journal Database until January 2022 were searched. Studies that reported the usefulness of CLU for the differentiation of HCC and non-HCC (e.g., liver cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis, and other benign liver disease) patients were selected. Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) was used as a positive control in this study. The sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), and area under the curve (AUC) were compared between CLU and AFP. Results Eight articles including 811 participants were included. The pooled sensitivity (95% confidence interval (CI)), specificity (95% CI), DOR (95% CI), and AUC (95% CI) were: 0.86 (0.78–0.91), 0.85 (0.75–0.91), 35 (13–94), and 0.92 (0.89–0.94) for CLU; 0.74 (0.67–0.81), 0.89 (0.79–0.94), 22 (8–61), and 0.87 (0.84–0.90) for AFP; 0.93 (0.88–0.96), 0.85 (0.68–0.94), 75 (21–262), and 0.95 (0.92–0.96) for CLU + AFP, respectively. Compared with AFP, CLU showed higher sensitivity, DOR, and AUC, as well as similar specificity. The combination of CLU and AFP resulted in higher sensitivity, DOR, and AUC. Conclusions Serum CLU is a better biomarker versus AFP for the diagnosis of HCC. The combination of CLU and AFP improved diagnostic performance.
Avascular necrosis during alectinib treatment: Case report
Authors: Gürsoy Pınar 
Published: May 2022

Non-small cell lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide. The incidence of anaplastic lymphoma kinase constitutes 3%–5% of all non-small cell lung cancer patients. Alectinib is a second-generation anaplastic lymphoma kinase inhibitor. Case report We present our patient who used alectinib due to anaplastic lymphoma kinase positivity and developed avascular necrosis in the femoral head. Management and outcome In our patient who had been taking alectinib for a long time due to anaplastic lymphoma kinase positivity, avascular necrosis of the femoral head was detected as a result of the examination performed due to hip pain. Due to the responsıbılıty of the disease, her treatment contınued by making profit and loss account. Discussion Femoral head avascular necrosis can be seen with tyrosine kinase inhibitors, although it is very rare. This is the case in the literature to develop avascular necrosis due to alectinib. We think that femoral head necrosis may develop in the patient group using alectinib and care should be taken in this regard.
Nursing minimum data sets: Findings from an umbrella review
Authors: Freguia Francesca , Danielis Matteo , Moreale Renzo , Palese Alvisa 
Published: May 2022

Objectives: This study explores the evidence available on Nursing Minimum Data Sets (NMDSs) by summarising: (a) the main methodological and reporting features of the reviews published in this field to date; (b) the recommendations developed and published in such reviews regarding the NMDSs, and (c) the categories and items that should be included in the NMDSs according to the available reviews. Methods: An Umbrella Review was performed. A search of secondary studies published up to November 2021 that were focused on NMDSs for adult hospitalised patients was conducted using MEDLINE (via PubMed), CINAHL and Scopus databases. The included studies were critically evaluated by using the Checklist for Systematic Review and Research Syntheses. The full review process was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and the Meta-Analyses statement. Results: From the initial 1311 studies that were retrieved, a total of eight reviews published from 1995 to 2018 were included. Their methodological quality was variable; these reviews offered four types of recommendations, namely at the overall, clinical, research and management levels. Additionally, seven NMDSs emerged with different purposes, elements, target populations and taxonomies. A list of categories and items that should be included in NMDSs have been summarised. Conclusions: Nurses are daily involved in the nursing care documentation; however, which elements are recorded is mainly defined at the local levels and relies on paper and pencil. NMDS might provide a point of reference, specifically in the time of health digitalisation. Alongside other priorities as underlined in available recommendations, and the need to improve the quality of the reviews in this field, there is a need to develop a common NMDS by establishing its core elements, deciding on a standardised language and identifying linkages with other datasets.
Influence of nanoclay as a compatibilizer and a reinforcement for polymer blends used as insulators
Authors: Salih Rana M , Mohammed Raghad H 
Published: May 2022

Polymer composite materials were prepared using kaolinite nanoclay as reinforcement in different weight fractions (3, 5 and 7) %, and blends of epoxy and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) as matrices. The current work aims to prepare a composite material with good thermal and acoustic insulation, besides improved mechanical properties, and the investigation of the effect of this nano additive on the compatibility between the two constituents of the blend, and how this compatibility might be beneficial to the performance of the prepared composite. The blend with an optimum mixing ratio (OMR) was chosen via impact test results; thus, the (80:20) percentage of epoxy and PMMA was chosen. The reinforced specimens showed an improvement in mechanical (impact and flexural) properties besides sound insulation and thermal conductivity, with the specimen reinforced with 7% nanoclay having the highest impact strength (97*10−3) KJ/m2 and the highest thermal conductivity value of (0.34) W/m.°C, with a sound intensity value 95.6 decibels at frequency 10,000 Hz. The scanning electron microscope images showed two separate phases in the unreinforced blend. In comparison, the 7% reinforced specimen showed a rough interface between the two polymer phases, suggesting a positive effect of nanoclay addition on compatibility. The differential scanning calorimeter showed two distinct glass transition temperatures for both reinforced and neat specimens, which belong to the glass transitions of both constituents (epoxy and PMMA). The main difference is the lower temperature gradient accompanied with the (nanoclay/blend) composite than the neat one. Although the blend remained immiscible, nanoclay had contributed to the compatibility and improved mechanical properties.

Published: May 2022

Background: Shenling Baizhu San (SBS), a well-known Chinese medicine herbal formula, has been widely used for treating chronic diarrhea for thousands of years. However, the efficacy and safety of SBS in treating chronic diarrhea have not been fully assessed. Objective: This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of the herbal formula SBS in symptomatic relief of chronic diarrhea. Methods: English and Chinese language databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Science and Technology Journal Database, Wanfang Data, and SinoMed electronic databases) were searched through April 2020 for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The outcomes in these RCTs included stool frequency, stool consistency, patient-reported satisfaction of chronic diarrhea treatment, quality of life and adverse events. Paired reviewers independently extracted data and conducted qualitative and quantitative analyses. The Cochrane revised risk of bias RoB-2 tool was applied to assess the risk of bias for each trial whereas the RevMan 5.3 software was used for outcomes data synthesis and meta-analysis. Mean difference (MD) and the 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to measure continuous data. The dichotomous data were analyzed via the relative risk (RR) with 95% CIs. Results: Fourteen RCTs including 1158 participants (54% males) with chronic diarrhea were included. Shenling Baizhu San combined with or without conventional medicine (CM) was associated with greater patient-reported satisfaction than CM alone. There was no increased risk of adverse events (AEs) during treatment. Conclusion: Treatment with SBS was associated with significant improvement in patient-reported satisfaction, irrespective of conventional medicine use. Rigorous and powered RCTs with objective outcome measures are needed to confirm the effects of SBS in specific gastrointestinal disease populations with chronic diarrhea symptoms.
