Politica e diplomazia nell’Italia del primo Rinascimento
Authors: Piffanelli Luciano 
Published: June 2022

Partendo dalla «lunga et grande guerra d’Italia» (Goro Dati) condotta nella prima metà del XV secolo da una mutevole coalizione di potentati contro Filippo Maria Visconti, il volume approfondisce ragioni e dinamiche del conflitto militare e ideologico tra Firenze e Milano - le cui radici risalgono al secolo precedente -, e lo apre all’intero contesto italiano, portando all’attenzione anche le ripercussioni che questa serie di scontri ebbe sui cambiamenti politici, diplomatici e culturali intercorsi nell’Italia del Rinascimento.

Incardinato su un ricco corpus documentario e su una folta bibliografia, il lavoro si propone un duplice obiettivo: da un lato, offrire la ricostruzione e l’analisi degli avvenimenti inerenti alle origini di questo scontro antivisconteo, qui indagate attraverso un approccio interdisciplinare e multidisciplinare che stabilisce intersezioni tra ambiti di ricerca spesso ritenuti non così prossimi tra loro; dall’altro, mettere a disposizione una lettura più dilatata, permettendo di cogliere certe dinamiche e caratteristiche di quel «lungo Quattrocento» italiano che si prolunga fino alla metà del XVI secolo, così come le peculiarità di una lotta condotta con gli eserciti ma anche con gli ambasciatori e con le armi della retorica. Inserito nel solco della New Diplomatic History, lo sguardo è dunque cronologicamente e metodologicamente meno ristretto, e lo studio affronta in filigrana i problemi posti e le possibilità offerte dal fare oggi storia della diplomazia, sul piano tanto narrativo quanto epistemologico-disciplinare.
Franz Ehrle e Giovanni Mercati
Authors: Vian Paolo 
Published: June 2022

Giovanni Mercati (1866-1957) fu uno dei protagonisti della storia della Biblioteca Vaticana nella prima metà del Novecento. La sua conoscenza con Ehrle risale al 1897; da allora e per quasi quarant’anni i due ecclesiastici collaborarono intensamente al programma di rinnovamento della biblioteca dei papi voluto da Leone XIII. L’analisi del rapporto fra i due – sotto il profilo umano, scientifico e istituzionale – si allarga a una considerazione della modernizzazione della Biblioteca Vaticana tra la fine dell’Ottocento e il primo quarantennio del XX secolo. Della prima fase, sotto il pontificato di Leone XIII (1878-1903), fu protagonista Ehrle; la seconda fase, sotto Pio XI (1922-1939), fu animata da Eugène Tisserant (1884-1972). Mercati attraversa i due momenti con un ruolo particolare. Con i tre personaggi (Ehrle, Mercati, Tisserant) si chiude comunque un’epoca e tramonta una concezione secolare della biblioteca papale.
Giovanni Mercati (1866-1957) was one of the protagonists of the Vatican Library’s history during the first half of the twentieth century. Since his first acquaintance with Franz Ehrle in 1897, and for almost forty years, Mercati joined Ehrle’s efforts to renew the Popes’ library in accordance with a programme established by Leo XIII. Analysing the relationship between Mercati and Ehrle, from a human, scientific and institutional point of view, enables a survey of the modernisation of the Vatican Library from the end of the nineteenth century through the 1940s. Ehrle was the protagonist of a first phase, coinciding with Leo XIII’s pontificate (1878-1903); Eugène Tisserant (1884-1972) was the driving force of a second phase, under Pius XI (1922-1939), whilst Mercati played a key role during both phases. Ehrle, Mercati and Tisserant marked a time which saw the waning of a time-honoured concept of the papal library.

He was of particular help to college members involved in historical research in the Vatican Library. From 1930 to 1934, the last years of his life, he served as Cardinal Protector of the Campo Santo Teutonico, at which time the role of rector lapsed.
Afghanistan: The New Hotspot of South Asian Geo-Strategic Competition
Authors: Datta Sujit Kumar 
Published: June 2022

This paper aims to identify the geographically important position of Afghanistan and how it has become a geopolitical battlefield in South Asia. The geographically crucial position of Afghanistan inside the South Asian Region has turned it into a battlefield of geopolitics. Further, the geographical circumstance and geographical additives of a rustic can make it tough and weak because of an internal policy. For example, India has a dangerous conflict with Pakistan over Kashmir, and China over Ladakh. On the other hand, China and Pakistan will work together in a mutual agreement even in such a changing situation as USA although they withdraw troops from Afghanistan cornering Afghan troops, and the Taliban's advance. Besides, Geopolitical considerations have been behind the invasion of the Persian Empire, Alexander's Campaign, Genghis Khan's attack, the British war, the invasion of the Soviet Union, and the presence of the Americans. It was joined by South Asian regional powers, Pakistan and India in the 20th century and directly and indirectly, these two countries have influenced Afghanistan. Thus, to complete this study, the researcher has used secondary data. Descriptive and exploratory activities have been also conducted by interviewing and discussing with experts in this field. Finally, this paper tried to analyze the role of China, India and Pakistan towards Afghanistan in the South Asian political context.

Authors: Pooja M. P. , Karuna Y. M. , Rao Arathi , Suman Ethel , Natarajan Srikant , Suprabha B. S. 
Published: June 2022

Background:
Cention N is relatively new and an “alkasite” restorative material, indicated for direct restorations.

Aim:
The aim of this study was to comparatively evaluate the sealing ability of Cention N and resin-modified glass ionomer cement (GIC) when used to restore primary molars.

Methods and Materials:
It is a split-mouth study. Twenty children having bilateral deep dentinal caries involving primary molars requiring restoration were selected. After caries excavation under the rubber dam, samples were collected from the cavity. Restorations of the teeth were done using either resin-modified GIC (RMGIC) or Cention N. Patients were recalled after 6 weeks and the restorations done previously were removed using contra angled micromotor handpiece under rubber dam isolation. The samples were collected again. The collected samples were used to estimate the total viable count.

Statistical Analysis:
The pretreatment, posttreatment colony counts, and the differences between the groups were analyzed using paired t-test.

Results:
No statistically significant difference was observed in the mean differences of the pre- and posttreatment colony count between alkasite restorative material and RMGIC (P = 0.056).

Conclusion:
Restorations done using alkasite restorative material and RMGIC performed equally in terms of sealing ability.

Published: June 2022

ABSTRACT.
The United Nations has declared Yemen as the world’s worst humanitarian crisis with 21 million people in need of humanitarian assistance. Due to the convergence of severe economic instability exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, stifling war, and spiking food prices, the Yemeni people are at the brink of famine with women and children especially malnourished. Desperate to feed their families, civilians are forced to resort to begging, participate in child marriages, or plunge into debt. An inflated currency has significantly diminished the purchasing power of the Yemeni population, and COVID-19 restrictions have made acquisition of food and essential commodity imports arduous. Immediate action by global and local governments is essential to prevent the deaths of thousands of people in the wake of severe food scarcity.
Investigation the Effect of Boric Acid effect on Antioxidant System, HDL Levels and PON Activity on Rats Feding to the High-Fat Diet
Authors: KALAÇAY Destan , ATAKİSİ Onur 
Published: June 2022

Recent studies have revealed that boron compounds can be effective in the treatment of obesity, which is known to be one of the most dangerous and complex health problems of this age. In this study, the therapeutic effect of boron molecules in the diet on obesity was investigated.
For this purpose, the effects of boron compounds on Total Antioxidant Status (TAS), Total Oxidant Status (TOS), High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) levels and paraoxanase (PON) activity were investigated in mice fed a high-fat diet.
The study material was 40 Sprague Dawley rats 4-5 months old with a mean live weight of 226.95 ± 5.75 g. Animals were divided into 4 groups as Group I (normal diet), Group II (High fat), Group III (High fat + Boric Acid) and Group IV (Boric Acid). Six weeks after the experiment, blood samples were taken from the animals and TAS, TOS, HDL levels and PON activity were measured from the samples. In addition, the live weight changes of the animals were recorded.
At the end of the study, we found that boric acid given in addition to drinking water did not significantly change TAS level and PON activity, but increased TOS and HDL levels. In addition, the weight average of the group treated with boric acid decreased.
As a result, boric acid did not have an effect on the antioxidant system, but it caused an increase in HDL level and a decrease in PON activity. In addition, boric acid can be effective in lowering body weight.

Authors: Rashad Diamond E. , Zapf Susan A. , Groger Sandra E. 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
As natural disasters increase in frequency throughout the world, more children and families are exposed to disaster-related stress and trauma. Many children with disaster exposure face occupational disruption, in which common activities, roles, and relationships are damaged or destroyed. In this descriptive column, we explore the impact that natural disasters have on children, the contribution of pediatric occupational therapy to disaster management, and the opportunity for occupational therapy practitioners to engage in collaborative psychosocial and activity interventions during disaster recovery. Through trauma-informed occupational therapy, children in traditional and community-based services will benefit from assistance in restoring normalcy. With this column, we aim to contribute to the continued exploration of roles in pediatric disaster prevention and recovery and a call for qualitative and quantitative scholarship in this setting.
Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy for the Treatment of Oligometastatic Cancer: A Clinical Review as Part of a Health Technology Assessment, Version 2.0
Authors: Tran Khai , Kumar Diksha , Kim Joanne , Gates Allison , Loewen Shaun , Rader Tamara , MacDougall Danielle , Ford Caitlyn 
Published: June 2022

Oligometastatic cancer (cancer with a limited number of metastases) represents an intermediate state between cancer confined to a single location in the body and cancer that has metastasized — or spread — widely.
One treatment option, for which there is growing interest, is stereotactic ablative radiotherapy, also known as SABR.

SABR precisely delivers a high dose of radiation to ablate tumours at specific sites while minimizing the radiation dose to surrounding normal tissues.
SABR may be used independently or alongside other treatment options in the management of oligometastatic cancer.

This CADTH clinical review evaluated the evidence regarding the clinical effectiveness and safety of SABR with or without standard of care (SOC) for people with oligometastatic cancer and found the following:

SABR in addition to SOC may offer a benefit in terms of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS).
The findings for the effectiveness of SABR alone compared with SOC were mixed and deemed inconclusive.
There are insufficient data related to adverse events (AEs) at the present time to draw conclusions regarding the safety of SABR relative to SOC alternatives.

This CADTH clinical review was maintained as a living systematic review for 1 year from January 2021 to January 2022. Updates were conducted every 3 months during that year to ensure the findings remained up-to-date as new evidence emerged. Please refer to the CADTH project page for all versions of the report and for the version history document, which outlines the results of each quarterly update.

Tasawwuf saat ini tidak lagi dianggap hal baru bahkan sudah menjadi tren di mana diikuti banyak orang dengan mengikuti tarekat. Salah satu tarekat yang berkembang dengan baik dan dianggap muktabar yaitu tarekat Naqsyabandi Haqqani, dan eksis di Jakarta dan sekitarnya, bahkan tarekat ini berkembang di seluruh dunia. Tarekat ini masuk Jakarta pertama kali masuk ke Jakarta pada bulan April 1997 diperkenalkan oleh Syaikh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani. Tarekat Naqsyabandi Haqqani merupakan cabang baru dari Naqsyanandi yang bersanad pada Baha’ al-Din Naqsyabandi (w. 1389). Naqsyabandiyah Haqqani dinisbatkan kepada pendiri Yayasan Haqqaniyah yaitu Syaikh Muhammad Nadzim Adil al-Haqqani yang berpusat di Cyprus. Ajaran Tarekat Naqsybandi Haqqani adalah tentang cinta, di mana pelaksanaan zikir dan berkumpul dilakukan di zawiyah-zawiyah yang tersebar di banyak tempat di bawah naungan Yayasan Haqqani Indonesia.

Published: June 2022

Judul penelitian ini adalah “analisis semiotika pada syair pupujian sunda eling-eling umat”. Syair pupujian eling-eling umat ini merupakan ciri khas pupujian yang muncul pada tempat ibadah yang mayoritas penduduk nya orang sunda, karena pupujian menggunakan Bahasa sunda. Ajaran pupujian sunda ini merupakan salah satu ajaran aswaja yang diserap oleh pertumbuhan islam di nusantara. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana dari umat islam di indonesia, terutama di daerah sunda, dalam mempertahankan ajaran keislaman yang mereka percayai dalam menyebarkan syiar melalui kebudayaan. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara, observasi dan studi pustaka. Sedangkan pengujian validitas data dalam penelitian ini menggunakan triangulasi data, data yang diperoleh disesuaikan atau dilakukan cek ulang dengan sumber data lainnya. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, penulis menyimpulkan pendekatan beragama menggunakan kebudayaan local setempat, dinilai cukup efektip untuk meyebarkan pendidikan dasar islam di masyarakat.

The title of this research is "semiotic analysis of the Sundanese poetry of the eling-eling umat". This eloquent verse of praise for the people is a characteristic of the praise that appears in places of worship where the majority of the population is Sundanese, because the praise uses the Sundane language. This Sundanese praise teaching is one of the Aswaja teachings that were absorbed by the growth of Islam in the archipelago. The purpose of this study is to find out how the Muslims in Indonesia, especially in the Sundanese area, maintain the Islamic teachings. They believe in spreading wisdom through culture. Data was collected through interviews, observation, and literature study. While testing the validity of the data in this study using data triangulation, the data obtained was adjusted or rechecked with other data sources. Based on the results of the study, the authors conclude that a religious approach using local culture is considered effective enough to spread Islamic basic education in the community.
The formation and composition of the Mount Everest plume in winter
Authors: Hindman Edward E. , Lindstrom Scott 
Published: June 2022

Abstract. Mount Everest's summit pyramid is the highest obstacle on earth to
the wintertime jet-stream winds. Downwind, in its wake, a visible plume can
form. The meteorology and composition of the plume are unknown. Accordingly,
daily from 1 November 2020 through 31 March 2021 (151 d), we observed
real-time images from a geosynchronous meteorological satellite to identify
the days plumes formed. The corresponding surface and upper-air
meteorological data were collected. The massif was visible on 143 d
(95 %), plumes formed on 63 d (44 %) and lasted an average of 12 h. We used the upper-air data with a basic meteorological model to show
the plumes formed when sufficiently moist air was drawn into the wake. We
conclude the plumes were composed initially of either cloud droplets or ice
particles depending on the temperature. The plumes were not composed of
resuspended snow. One plume was observed to glaciate downwind. We estimated
snowfall from the plumes may be significant.

Published: June 2022

Abstract. China is one of the major forest countries in the world,
and the accurate estimation of its forest biomass carbon (C) pool is
critical for evaluating the country's C budget and ecosystem services of
forests. Although several studies have estimated China's forest biomass
using national forest inventory data, most of them were limited to the
period of 2004–2008. In this study, we extended our estimation to the most
recent period of 2014–2018. Using datasets of eight inventory periods from
1977 to 2018 and the continuous biomass expansion factor method, we
estimated that the total biomass C pool and average biomass C density in
Chinese forests increased from 4717 Tg C (1 Tg = 1012 g) in the
period of 1977–1981 to 7975 Tg C in the period of 2014–2018 and 38.2 Mg C ha−1 to 45.8 Mg C ha−1 (1 Mg = 106 g), respectively, with a
net increase of 3258 Tg C and an annual sink of 88.0 Tg C yr−1. Over
the most recent 10 years (2009–2018), the average national forest biomass C
density and C sink were 44.6 Mg C ha−1 and 154.8 Tg C yr−1,
respectively, much larger than those of 39.6 Mg C ha−1 and 63.3 Tg C yr−1 in the period 1977–2008. These pronounced increases were largely
attributed to afforestation practices, forest growth, and environmental
changes. Our results have documented the importance of ecological
restoration practices, provided an essential basis for assessing ecosystem
services, and helped to achieve China's C neutrality target.
Inundation prediction in tropical wetlands from JULES-CaMa-Flood global land surface simulations

Abstract. Wetlands play a key role in hydrological and biogeochemical cycles and provide multiple ecosystem services to society. However, reliable data on the extent of global inundated areas and the magnitude of their contribution to local hydrological dynamics remain surprisingly uncertain. Global hydrological models and land surface models (LSMs) include only the most major inundation sources and mechanisms; therefore, quantifying the uncertainties in available data sources remains a challenge. We address these problems by taking a leading global data product on inundation extents (Global Inundation Extent from Multi-Satellites, GIEMS) and matching against predictions from a global hydrodynamic model (Catchment-based Macro-scale Floodplain – CaMa-Flood) driven by runoff data generated by a land surface model (Joint UK Land and Environment Simulator, JULES). The ability of the model to reproduce patterns and dynamics shown by the observational product is assessed in a number of case studies across the tropics, which show that it performs well in large wetland regions, with a good match between corresponding seasonal cycles. At a finer spatial scale, we found that water inputs (e.g. groundwater inflow to wetland) became underestimated in comparison to water outputs (e.g. infiltration and evaporation from wetland) in some wetlands (e.g. Sudd, Tonlé Sap), and the opposite occurred in others (e.g. Okavango) in our model predictions. We also found evidence for an underestimation of low levels of inundation in our satellite-based inundation data (approx. 10 % of total inundation may not be recorded). Additionally, some wetlands display a clear spatial displacement between observed and simulated inundation as a result of overestimation or underestimation of overbank flooding upstream. This study provides timely information on inherent biases in inundation prediction and observation that can contribute to our current ability to make critical predictions of inundation events at both regional and global levels.
