Abstract
Natural killer (NK) cells are the most abundant leukocytes located at the maternal–fetal interface; they respond to pregnancy-related hormones and play a pivotal role in maintaining the homeostatic micro-environment during pregnancy. However, due to the high heterogeneity of NK cell subsets, their categorization has been controversial. Here, we review previous studies on uterine NK cell subsets, including the classic categorization based on surface markers, functional molecules, and developmental stages, as well as single-cell RNA sequencing-based clustering approaches. In addition, we summarize the potential pathways by which endometrial NK cells differentiate into decidual NK (dNK) cells, as well as the differentiation pathways of various dNK subsets. Finally, we compared the alterations in the NK cell subsets in various pregnancy-associated diseases, emphasizing the possible contribution of specific subsets to the development of the disease.
Hidden Public Music Theory
Authors: Jenkins J Daniel 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
In many examples of public music theory, information is mediated through an authorial voice, not always a credentialed, academic music theorist to be sure, but someone who by virtue of their experience, performance ability, personality, or some combination of these communicates to their audience that they are in possession of musical knowledge and that the audience should be prepared to learn. Hidden public music theory is often orally transmitted and often lacks framing as music theory per se. Examples of hidden public music theory may encourage academic music theorists to reconsider what music theory is and who music theorists are.

Abstract
Gene expression levels serve as valuable markers for assessing prognosis in cancer patients. To understand the mechanisms underlying prognosis and explore potential therapeutics across diverse cancers, we developed CancerPro (https:/medcode.link/cancerpro). This knowledge network platform integrates comprehensive biomedical data on genes, drugs, diseases and pathways, along with their interactions. By integrating ontology and knowledge graph technologies, CancerPro offers a user-friendly interface for analyzing pan-cancer prognostic markers and exploring genes or drugs of interest. CancerPro implements three core functions: gene set enrichment analysis based on multiple annotations; in-depth drug analysis; and in-depth gene list analysis. Using CancerPro, we categorized genes and cancers into distinct groups and utilized network analysis to identify key biological pathways associated with unfavorable prognostic genes. The platform further pinpoints potential drug targets and explores potential links between prognostic markers and patient characteristics such as glutathione levels and obesity. For renal and prostate cancer, CancerPro identified risk genes linked to immune deficiency pathways and alternative splicing abnormalities. This research highlights CancerPro's potential as a valuable tool for researchers to explore pan-cancer prognostic markers and uncover novel therapeutic avenues. Its flexible tools support a wide range of biological investigations, making it a versatile asset in cancer research and beyond.
Muriel Rukeyser
Authors: Kerwin Sarah Jane 
Published: November 2024

Writer and activist Muriel Rukeyser (b. 1913–d. 1980) was born into an affluent Jewish family and grew up in New York City. Her father was a construction engineer, and his career sparked a curiosity about technology in his daughter that is on display in her first poetry collection, Theory of Flight (1935). This early interest in weaving science and technology into poetry is indicative of Rukeyser’s lifelong tendency to tackle unexpected and seemingly incongruent subjects in her work. Rukeyser attended Vassar College for two years but had to leave in 1932, after the Great Depression took a toll on her father’s business. During the 1930s she continued to write while also becoming increasingly involved in leftist politics, traveling to cover the Scottsboro Trial in 1933 and the 1936 People’s Olympiad in Barcelona. Rukeyser burst onto the literary scene after Theory of Flight won the Yale Younger Poets Prize. By the 1940s, however, her publications became regular subjects of harsh critique from both sides of the political aisle. This resistance to her work largely stemmed from Rukeyser’s radical belief in the importance of merging poetics and politics. Such merging/boundary crossing is on display in what is perhaps her most famous work, The Book of the Dead, which was originally published in the 1938 collection U.S. 1. Scholars have read The Book of the Dead as a project of political witnessing, an example of documentary poetry, a feminist epic, and an early instance of environmental justice work. Rukeyser was radical not only politically and poetically but also personally: she had relationships with women as well as men, and raised her only son by herself. Later in her life, she gained popularity among younger feminist poets, who embraced Rukeyser as a literary foremother. Her self-edited Collected Poems was published in 1978, two years before her death. While Rukeyser is best known for her poetry, she also wrote prolifically in other genres, including essays, scripts, and fiction. Recent feminist recovery efforts have brought some of Rukeyser’s prose back into print, such as The Life of Poetry in 1996. Originally published in 1949, this treatise urges readers to embrace poetry’s potential to communicate truth and create unity. In 2013, Rukeyser’s lost Spanish Civil War novel Savage Coast was published, adding another important text to her collected works. If Rukeyser was ahead of her time, recent scholarly interest indicates the time is now ripe for her.
Transition pathway for the city toward low-emission district heating system with heat auctions promoting third-party network access

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Here a plausible transition management model to accelerate the decarbonization of urban district heating systems is presented. Many cities and energy utilities have struggled in identifying sustainable, socially acceptable, and cost-efficient solutions to replace fossil fuels and unsustainable biofuels. A model was developed based on a case study made for the City of Helsinki in Finland to phase out coal and to reach carbon neutrality without additional bioenergy capacity by 2035. Methods included energy system modeling, environmental and economic assessment, and transition pathway co-creation. The main technical solutions included heat pump systems, demand response, energy storage, and strengthening electricity distribution networks. Achieving cost-efficient and socially acceptable local energy transition requires decentralizing heating solutions. The city can accelerate investments and promote third-party network access through heat auctions, open energy map data, and fast-track permits. Urban transitions need to be iteratively managed based on energy system modeling to secure sufficient heat supply, cost-efficiency, and rapid decarbonization simultaneously. Adoption of a new operational, business and market models is challenging but necessary. More research and development are needed on heat auctions and local energy transition management models, which enable coordinated investments by multiple actors to reach zero-emission district heating systems.
Society, Science, and Problem-Solving Courts in the United States and Abroad
Authors: Miller Monica K. , Holbrook Mia A. , Yelderman Logan A. , Kulak Kylie 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Culture and law are reflections of each other; for example, the culture of a populace affects what is considered a crime, what causes crime, and how the legal system should respond to crime (e.g., rehabilitation or punishment). As such, it is no surprise that societies around the globe have adopted different laws and procedures to address differing social issues. Science plays many roles in the development (or not) of problem-solving courts. For purposes of this book, science includes social sciences (e.g., sociology, political science, psychology, criminal justice, culture), medical science (e.g., drug testing, mental health testing and treatment), and technology (e.g., ankle monitors, internet). It also includes the science used to test whether courts are effective. Science can help lawmakers recognize that something is in fact an issue, identify ways that the issue can be addressed, and evaluate whether solutions were effective. Science can also make problem-solving courts possible by providing the technology necessary for the monitoring of offenders and communication among service providers and judges.
When Law and Culture Collide
Authors: Miller Monica K. , Yelderman Logan A. , Holbrook Mia A. , Kulak Kylie 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Law and culture are often considered distinct concepts. The lack of coherence regarding culture and, ostensibly, subcultures can be a product of law. Law defines the differences regarding culture and incoherence regarding that given meaning, but law can also produce a culture itself. Next, we will consider cultural differences apparent in cultures and subcultures that could affect the likelihood of a person interacting with the justice system and outcomes of that interaction. We will also discuss some subcultural differences, such as cultures of honor, urban survival syndrome, black rage, and hate crimes. Finally, we will discuss how these cultural differences and subcultural practices can have implications for the legal system. Specifically, we will discuss how these differences can make a person more likely to interact with the legal system, affect the court process, and, ultimately, affect judicial decision-making in problem-solving courts.
Introduction
Authors: Powers Allison 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter introduces international arbitration tribunals as sites through which to rethink histories of the United States Empire during the decades when the nation was becoming a global power. Between the 1870s and the 1930s, the State Department increasingly turned to the framework of international mass claims settlement to facilitate colonial interventions ranging from territorial annexation to securing special protections for US investors abroad. But the resultant Claims Commission had unintended consequences. Thousands of colonial subjects, migrants, and foreign nationals within the borders claimed by the United States turned to these tribunals to charge the US government with violating the international legal protections for life and property to which all putatively “civilized” states were beholden. Their unexpected legal claims transformed arbitral tribunals from sites designed to project US power into forums through which challenge the legitimacy of US governance. Through demonstrating how arbitration operated as a forgotten arena of struggle over the limits and possibilities of international law to address structural injustices within the US legal system, the chapter offers a new history of the US Empire—one shaped as much by attempts to insulate the United States from international accountability as it was by efforts to project power across the globe.
Dangerous Precedents
Authors: Powers Allison 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This chapter uncovers how the 1908–1920 Joint Land Commission created to award monetary compensation for property that the United States expropriated in Panama unexpectedly became a site through which thousands of claimants turned to challenge the legitimacy of US colonial governance. The chapter traces how displaced residents of the Canal Zone used the arbitral tribunal to expose the violence, coercion, and fraud that they experienced at the hands of US agents. These international legal conflicts over everyday life in the Zone then recast hemispheric debates over meanings of sovereign equality by shifting the terrain upon which Panamanian and US diplomats renegotiated the terms of the Canal Treaty during the 1920s.
Conclusion
Authors: Powers Allison 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This conclusion reflects on how the critiques of empire and state violence that claimants brought before early-twentieth-century arbitral tribunals came to be erased from the records of international law. It traces how transformations in the mid-twentieth century international legal order allowed the United States to insulate itself from the kinds of scrutiny that arbitration had unexpectedly produced during the 1910s, 1920s, and 1930s. The book concludes that attention to the rise and fall of state-to-state mass claims settlement as a facet of US colonial policymaking reveals that United States global power has been shaped as much by attempts to shield the US government from international legal accountability as by efforts to project influence across the globe.
Belles-Lettres
Authors: Akhtar Sascha A. , Ali Hijab Imtiaz 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Hijab Imtiaz Ali Taj’s Adab-E-Zareen, translated by Akhtar as The Belles-Lettres of Hijab Imitaz is an innovative mystical poetic work replete with symbology, philosophy, and metaphor, is translated from the Urdu for the first time in book form by celebrated Pakistani English language poet and fiction writer Sascha A. Akhtar. Written in 1936 by this pioneering feminist writer, who was also the first Muslim female pilot of the Subcontinent, the work takes Urdu literature generally and Urdu feminist literature to new levels. With this book, Hijab Imtiaz Ali Taj’s work receives a richer perspective, placing her beyond the limits of ‘romanticism’, as in Belles-Lettres, she eschews traditional forms of storytelling of the time and embraces the fragment and poetic prose. Primary source material has also been translated and presented for the first time. The state of the Urdu language at the time of writing is also examined. Akhtar contextualizes the writing in Belles-Lettres within the realm of Sufi philosophy, early Western Modernism. The biographical part of the essay even provides early history of the city of Hyderabad, in order for the reader to fully contextualize the life and work of Hijab Imtiaz. The significance of this book is made clear from an informative foreword by distinguished translator and academic Haider Shahbaz. The volume allows new audiences and new generations to connect with a lost, fragmented literary past and use it for new scholarship. In this way, it makes a significant contribution to knowledge about the literature of Pakistan and India.
Power, Image, and Memory
Authors: Holliday Peter J. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This book examines a wide variety of artistic traditions, showing how art commemorating historical events can shape collective memory, and with it, the identities of social groups and nations. It organizes twelve canonical works of representational art created in a variety of media around themes of commemoration and power. The chapters begin by describing the political and historical context for a work; then move into thick description, paying special attention to narrative techniques and conventions; followed by an analysis of the work’s meaning and the context of its commission; and end with a discussion of the work’s legacy in art history. The chapters argue how makers intended works of art to act as propaganda. The works depict conflicts very recent to the period in which they were produced. They are representations of specific conflicts employing specific techniques intended by their makers to encourage specific ideas about how those events connected to specific political ideologies. The examples chosen for the book are exceptional in how they communicated power or represented the past; many represent the first time a particular technique was employed. This book examines why and how certain technical developments of narrative conventions developed.
Fifth Movement
Authors: Simpson Barbara 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
This movement is comprised of an Intermezzo that examines Pragmatist thinking on ethics as an emerging social process, and an Étude that demonstrates the multiple levels at which an ethic of caring is practised by the senior management team of an arts-based company to generate surprise and enjoyment. The Intermezzo draws on the writings of Jane Addams, John Dewey, and George Herbert Mead to elaborate the associative ethics of a caring democratic society, and in so doing it returns full circle to the community spirit of the First Movement. The Étude locates the caring practice of the senior managers within the wider contemporary literature on care ethics, showing how a Pragmatist approach transcends the dualistic thinking that characterises much of this work.
On the Adaptative Reliance on Fuzzy Memory Representations in Adult Ageing
Authors: Greene Nathaniel R. , Naveh-Benjamin Moshe 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
According to Fuzzy Trace Theory, human cognition is driven by evolutionary and ontogenetic pressures to rely on less precise gist representations rather than retaining verbatim representations, especially in older adulthood, where declines in episodic memory are well-documented. Older adults’ reliance on gist representations is often viewed through a negative lens, as such representations can contribute to false memories. However, their ability to remember gist details of past episodes may also confer advantages, especially in situations where memory is most deficient, as in remembering where someone was encountered. Remembering the gist of past experiences may lead to ‘well-enough’ performance in some situations, enabling older adults to remember just enough details to avoid catastrophic memory errors. Thus, in contrast to the many negative views about adult age-related changes in memory, the preservation of gist in older adulthood can have a positive impact and may speak to the evolutionary benefit of gist representations in situations in which human memory is severely limited.
Introduction
Authors: Deranty Jean-Philippe 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The book’s aims, methods, and structure are outlined and explained in the Introduction, and its two main parts are briefly presented. Part I maps out the intellectual traditions from which classical and contemporary arguments against the centrality of work have been made. In so doing, conceptual and methodological issues in these arguments become apparent. Part II responds to the rejection of work’s importance by mounting a positive ‘case’ for work. The notion of work underpinning this argument is outlined as an activity that is instrumental, technical, social, and subject to many constraints. The Introduction ends with a summary of each of the fourteen chapters of the book.
A Modern Value
Authors: Deranty Jean-Philippe 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Many scholars argue that the centrality of work is a phenomenon typical of Western modernity. They draw upon classical studies in anthropology and ancient history to support this claim, highlighting apparent differences in attitudes towards work in pre-modern and non-Western societies. These societies, it is claimed, exhibited mostly negative attitudes to work. This chapter outlines the way in which comparative considerations of this kind are used to build the background for accounts criticizing the importance of work in modern society. Five types of historically based critique are identified: the historical contingency of work’s importance; work being a social pathology characteristic of modern society; that claims about work’s centrality are ethnocentric and anachronistic; the need to adopt a nominalist approach in relation to the meaning of work; and that some social imaginaries might not even include a notion of work.
Conclusion
Authors: Deranty Jean-Philippe 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Even if individuals can derive many ‘goods’ from having to face necessity, and even if the collective organizing of necessity brings them together in different ways, people also value experiences (for instance, love and friendship) and objects (typically, the good, the true and the beautiful, or supreme beings like God, or Nature) which are intrinsically valuable, not valuable for instrumental reasons, as is work. When people engage in these experiences and with these objects they seem to move from a realm of necessity to a realm of higher values and of real freedom, to use a famous image of Karl Marx. Using Hegel’s metaphor of the ‘Sunday of life’ as its guide, the Conclusion responds to this final objection by showing the many connections that tie the realm of necessity to the realms that transcend necessity. Even in modes of being and acting beyond necessity, work remains constitutively significant.
Introduction
Authors: Calvert Jane E. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
The introduction provides an overview of how John Dickinson is seen today in contrast with his actual role in the Founding of the United States of America. It explains that few Americans today know his name, and those who do have a distorted impression from inaccurate portrayals of him in histories and popular entertainment, usually as a foil to John Adams as hero. It argues, rather, that Dickinson was America’s first celebrity and international spokesman for the American cause, contributing more to the Founding than any other individual with foundational writings and public service. Although he opposed the Declaration of Independence, he was the only leading Founder to interpret it as we do today to mean that all persons are equal and have rights worthy of protection. It describes Dickinson as acting as a “trimmer” to balance the ship of state and keep it on a straight course towards liberty.
“Congratulate Me on my Salvation”
Authors: Calvert Jane E. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Chapter Four chronicles Dickinson’s entrance into politics. He was elected first to the legislature of Pennsylvania’s Lower Counties (now Delaware), serving as speaker the following year, when he passed a unique bill protecting Black rights, and then to the Pennsylvania Assembly, where he served intermittently for the remainder of the colonial period. He wrote his first political essay on the right of free trade under flags of truce. This was also a time of loss and change. Dickinson’s father died, as did his mentor John Moland, a close family friend, and King George II. Mary Cadwalader Dickinson and his friend’s son moved in to Dickinson’s Philadelphia house with him. Dickinson was executor of Moland’s estate and advisor to his widow and children, and the demise of the king occasioned an essay on the tenure of colonial judges. Meanwhile, his law practice flourished and his wealth grew.
