An Analysis of Traditional and Contemporary Children’s Songs With Considerations for Music Therapy Practice
Authors: Jones Jennifer D , McCain Cicely , Burwell McAlpine Morgan 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Children’s songs include a diverse collection of traditional and contemporary songs. (Yinger and Springer [2016]. Analyzing recommended songs for older adult populations through linguistic and musical inquiry. Music Therapy Perspectives 34, 116–125. https://doi.org/10.1093/mtp/miu048) analyzed musical and textual features of songs used by music therapists with older adults; however, studies on children’s songs in music therapy have not included musical and textual features analysis. Our purpose with this study was to analyze the musical and textual features of a sample of 20 traditional and 20 contemporary predominantly U.S. children’s songs and consider applications for music therapy. Text information was collected, including total and unique words, the song topic, and potential applications. Musical information was collected, including form, melodic range, and harmonic/chordal structure. Findings included that the traditional songs were strophic, had fewer overall words, were harmonized with three chords or fewer, and had melodic ranges of five to seven notes. By contrast, contemporary children’s songs used complex song forms, had more words, were harmonized with more than three chords, and had melodic ranges of eight or more notes. Song topics and applications had similar codes across the song types. A music therapist may apply traditional songs in clinical work, where a simpler musical structure and fewer words support the client’s needs. Likewise, a music therapist may apply contemporary songs for greater musical complexity and more vocabulary. Future studies of children’s songs in music therapy could include an analysis of music therapists’ composed songs and songs used by music therapists who work with young children.

Abstract
The diversity observed in canine breed phenotypes, together with their risk for heritabily disorders of relevance to dogs and humans, makes the species an ideal subject for studies aimed at understanding the genetic basis of complex traits and human biomedical models. Dog10K is an ongoing international collaboration that aims to uncover the genetic basis of phenotypic diversity, disease, behavior, and domestication history of dogs. To best present and make the extensive data accessible and user friendly, we have established the Dog10K (http://dog10k.kiz.ac.cn/) database, a comprehensive-omics resource summarizing multiple types of data. This database integrates single nucleotide variants (SNVs) from 1987 canine genomes, de-novo mutations (DNMs) from 43 dog breeds with &gt;40× sequence, RNA-seq data of 105057 single nuclei from hippocampus, 74067 single cells from leukocytes and 30 blood samples from published canid studies. We provide clear visualization, statistics, browse, searching, and downloading functions for all data. We have integrated three analysis tools, Selscan, LiftOver and AgeConversion, to aid researchers in custom exploration of the comprehensive-omics data. The Dog10K database will serve as a foundational platform for analyzing, presenting and utilizing canine multi-omics data.
The biology of water homeostasis
Authors: D'Acierno Mariavittoria , Fenton Robert A , Hoorn Ewout J 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT
Water homeostasis is controlled by a brain–kidney axis that consists of central osmoreceptors, synthesis and secretion of arginine vasopressin (AVP) and AVP-responsive aquaporin-2 (AQP2) water channels in kidney collecting duct principal cells that facilitate water reabsorption. In addition to AVP, thirst represents a second line of defence to maintain water balance. Water balance disorders arise because of deficiency, resistance or inappropriate secretion of AVP or disturbances in thirst sensation (hypodipsia, polydipsia). People with water balance disorders are prone to develop hyponatraemia or hypernatraemia, which expose cells to osmotic stress and activate cell volume regulation mechanisms. This review covers several recent insights that have expanded our understanding of central osmoregulation, AQP2 regulation and cell volume regulation. This includes the role of with no lysine kinase 1 (WNK1) as a putative central osmolality sensor and, more generally, as an intracellular crowding sensor that coordinates the cell volume rescue response by activating sodium and potassium cotransporters. Furthermore, several new regulators of AQP2 have been identified, including AVP-dependent AQP2 regulation (yes-associated protein, nuclear factor of activated T-cells, microRNAs) and AVP-independent AQP2 regulation (epidermal growth factor receptor, fluconazole, prostaglandin E2). It is also becoming increasingly clear that long-term cell volume adaptation to chronic hypotonicity through release of organic osmolytes comes at the expense of compromised organ function. This potentially explains the complications of chronic hyponatraemia, including cognitive impairment, bone loss and vascular calcification. This review illustrates why these new insights derived from basic science are also relevant for developing new approaches to treat water balance disorders.

ABSTRACT
Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) materials are known for their intriguing physical properties, but their rational design and synthesis remain a great challenge for chemists. In this work, we successfully synthesized a new non-centrosymmetric oxide, i.e. InSbMoO6, with Sb3+ lone-pair electrons serving as chemical scissor to generate its 2D vdW crystal structure. Monolayer and few-layer InSbMoO6 flakes are readily obtained via facile mechanical exfoliation. They exhibit strong second-harmonic generation (SHG) response with an effective second-order nonlinear optical susceptibility $\chi _{{\rm{eff}}}^{{\rm{(2)}}}\ $of 32.4 pm·V−1. Meanwhile, the SHG response is in-plane anisotropic and directly proportional to the layer thickness, independent of layer parity. In addition, the InSbMoO6 flakes exhibit excellent thermal and atmospheric stability, along with pronounced anisotropy in Raman spectroscopy. This work implies that using lone-pair electrons as chemical scissor is an effective strategy for designing and synthesizing new 2D vdW materials for integrated photonic applications.
Remembrance and Anticipation
Authors: Hammer Espen 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The chapter discusses Adorno’s philosophy of literature. Contrasting Adorno’s approach to traditional forms of ideology critique and to the Hegelian approach to literature in Lukács, it locates in his work a particular commitment to form and formal experimentation, and to viewing literature in terms of its exploration of human experience and its conditions. It is then shown how Adorno’s readings of Beckett and Proust exemplify this orientation. Beckett is for Adorno a writer dealing with the question of meaning, and the loss of meaning, in the context of late modernity. Proust, by contrast, finds a promise of meaning in privileged experiences. In both cases, the text challenges traditional codes and vehicles of representation, being more preoccupied with the very possibility of experience than with that which is experienced. The difficulty of responding adequately to these modernist writers is reflected in Adorno’s paratactic, often literary, style. That said, his literary essays make up an integral part of his philosophical contribution.
The Campaign Industry
Authors: Yablon Robert 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Electioneering in America is big business. Paid campaign staffers, consultants, and vendors are central players in virtually every major electoral contest. This booming, multi-billion-dollar campaign industry is both a product of the nation’s electoral system and a shaper of that system. The industry developed, in substantial part, as an accidental outgrowth of how the United States regulates political parties and campaign finance, and industry actors now exert a strong pull on the nation’s politics. The incentives and proclivities of campaign professionals affect everything from who seeks office to how campaigns reach voters to what policies candidates and public officials prioritize. Having long boosted the campaign industry, election law could instead seek to constrain it, although reformers should bear in mind the strictures of constitutional doctrine and the risk of unintended consequences. Reforms could target specific abuses, such as the misappropriation of campaign funds, or, more ambitiously, could aim to shake up America’s system of campaign capitalism by promoting alternative modes of campaigning.
Counting Votes and Declaring Winners
Authors: Foley Edward B. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Historically, the rules and procedures for counting ballots have been decentralized in the United States, as state rather than federal law has determined these matters, causing considerable variation among the states. Some shared principles and practices have emerged, nonetheless, which this chapter surveys, including the division of the overall counting process into several components: the canvass of preliminary returns, the recount (where required) of previously counted ballots, and the judicial contest of certified results (when a losing candidate pursues this type of litigation). History has also shown a recurrence of common questions, most prominently whether certain kinds of errors in the administration of the voting process—usually ones that do not concern the eligibility of the voter—should be deemed inconsequential for purposes of counting votes. Even when vote-counting disputes have been highly divisive, as with the U.S. Supreme Court’s controversial 5–4 Bush v. Gore decision in the 2000 presidential election, these disputes have been historically resolved for the most part pursuant to the rule of law. In the 2020 presidential election, however, there emerged a new attack on using the rule of law as the basis for settling disputed elections. The phenomenon of “election denialism” developed in the aftermath of 2020, whereby candidates and partisans refused to acknowledge electoral defeat according to the unambiguous applicable law and evidence. Prior to 2024, it remains unclear just how dangerous to the ongoing operation of American democracy this outbreak of election denialism may be. Measures must be taken to reduce the risk that that an election’s valid outcome may be successfully repudiated in defiance of the law and the electorate’s authentic choice.
Election Law and Empirical Social Science
Authors: Spencer Douglas M. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The academic study of election law spawns from the fields of both constitutional law and political science. A stylized account might place lawyers and legal scholars on one pedestal, steeped in the doctrinal intricacies of the political process but lacking a facility with the methods of social science. On a second pedestal sit empirical social scientists who might suggest that legal problems can be solved with numbers rather than values. This chapter discusses the gap between these two pedestals. The story of election law’s relationship with empirical social science is mixed. For example, empirical social science has played a central role in the protection of minority voting rights but has been viewed more skeptically in cases dealing with voter fraud and partisan gerrymandering. Courts have been receptive to social science research in cases about voting technology and ballot design, but have largely discounted this evidence in cases related to the regulation of Super PACs and the organization of primary elections. Looking to the future, it will not be constructive for legal scholars and jurists to dismiss important quantitative research as “sociological gobbledygook” because it is imperfect and evolving. On the other hand, social scientists must recognize that sometimes courts make value-based judgments as a matter of law, independent of the empirical record. Social scientists must thus consider new ways to connect their research to these values.
Voting Under State Constitutions
Authors: Codrington Wilfred U. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Unlike their federal counterpart, state constitutions confer the right to vote in plain and affirmative terms. State charters also contain unique provisions that, among other things, regulate the redistricting process and set out the terms for political participation, including direct citizen lawmaking. And critically, state constitutions interact with the federal Constitution, which limits them in meaningful respects, while also governing the local administration of elections. Indeed, every political contest has aspects that are governed by state constitutions, making them an integral, yet underappreciated, source of American election law. This chapter underscores these and other crucial points by examining several dimensions of voting under state constitutions. It first lays out a broad history of voting under state charters. Then it provides a general overview of key structural components of state constitutions that govern the right to vote, followed by a brief assessment of two particularly important doctrinal matters explained in the context of particularly contested issues. Finally, the chapter closes by raising a few topics that would benefit from additional research and exploration to advance the scholarship in this ever-developing area of election law.
Italian Crime Fiction
Authors: Serafini Stefano 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This contribution challenges existing scholarship that interprets Italian crime fiction as historically and theoretically anomalous within the larger framework of Western crime literature. The author’s contention is that continuity rather than exceptionalism characterizes its various forms and incarnations from the late nineteenth century to the present. The chapter explores what is truly and uniquely Italian in Italian crime fiction, bringing to light those distinctive and pervasive elements that run through this narrative form across different historical periods. It seeks to trace a path that highlights key sociocultural and historical elements of continuity, such as the question of social order, the role of the police in society, and the detective paradigm. The aim is to show that even those crime narratives perceived as isolated or exceptional examples are, in fact, the result of a long-standing and deep-seated tradition that at a cursory look may seem invisible and ungraspable.
The Economic and Social Models of Pre-1917 Development in the Russian Empire and Central Europe
Authors: Nafziger Steven 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The processes of economic and political development were constrained across Eastern Europe, the Balkans, and the Russian Empire prior to 1917. Geography, population heterogeneity, and institutional factors impeded policies, productivity improvements, and market development. While the forces of globalization—trade, capital flows, migration, etc.—were active across the region in the half century before the October Revolution, connections to the global economy were constrained in a number of ways, which limited convergence with the era’s leading economies. Institutions and governments remained mostly autocratic throughout the period. Overall, the region largely failed to transition to modern economic growth or modernizing political structures prior to World War I, leaving a legacy of underdevelopment that persists through to today.
European Integration and Economic Models for Emerging Economies
Authors: Csaba László 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This chapter elaborates on how first the perspective, then later accession, and finally actual membership in the European Union (EU) has contributed to shaping the economic order. This issue is broader than that of quantitative growth performance in the formerly socialist countries of Central and Eastern Europe. The chapter posits that though the process of becoming an EU member has been helpful, the value of actual membership has proven to be more ambiguous in terms of achieving the developmental objectives of growth, freedom, and prosperity. At the same time, the chapter finds that nonmembership, whatever its causes might be, has invariably proven inferior across many measures, including growth, quality of life, attainment of political and economic freedoms, and life satisfaction, as recorded in opinion surveys. Therefore, delaying full membership in the EU, or aiming for an in-between solution, as is proposed in a considerable portion of the contemporary literature, is a dead end. By the same token, the very real difficulties of and from EU membership cannot be remedied by an exit option modeled on the UK experience.
The Role of the Police around Public Assemblies
Authors: Probert Thomas 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The police are often the most visible part of a state’s response to a contentious gathering and an often-overlooked part of facilitating less-contentious gatherings. This chapter reviews the challenges confronting police departments as they endeavour to apply a human rights-based approach during three phases of an assembly. In doing so, it moves beyond an array of grand theories of ‘protest policing’ (escalated force, negotiated management, strategic incapacitation), noting that they all share the characteristic of implicitly sanctioning the choreographing, rather than facilitating, of peaceful assembly, creating the impression that it is always the responsibility of the police to ‘manage’ assemblies. Instead, existing human rights law suggests that the police should leave assemblies alone, to the greatest extent possible, interfering with them only when necessary and only in a content-neutral fashion. Thus, rather than offering an alternative totalizing framework of management, and drawing upon one of the most recent normative statements, General Comment 37, this chapter focuses on the series of existing tactics that police use to respond and argues that those are only appropriate to the extent necessary.
Emotions and Response in a Contingent World
Authors: Stein Janice Gross 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This chapter draws attention to the variation in individual and collective decisions in international politics. It traces the variation to evolutionary psychology, to the neurobiology and psychology of emotions, to group dynamics, and to the broader processes of social identity that are central to the understanding of collective emotion. The chapter also connects emotion more closely to decision-making processes. Finally, it pays special attention to the close connections between evolutionary psychology and processes of decision-making that are informed by pragmatism. These different processes are treated not as alternatives but as sequenced complementarities that are contingent. Just as there is no binary between reason and emotion and no single level of analysis, no one connection between emotion and decision processes can explain the broad range of decisions and action in international politics.
Power and Emotion in International Relations
Authors: Hall Todd H. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This chapter offers an overview of the complex interrelationships between emotions, affective dynamics, and power in international relations—what it terms the “power–emotion nexus.” This nexus has three dimensions. The first dimension involves power as it operates between potentially conflicting positions or actors, in which actors seek to prevail over one another. The second involves regimes of norms and diffuse social rules that encourage certain political expressions and experiences of emotion, devalue others, and render certain emotions as unacceptable or invisible. The third concerns the ways in which the structure of distributed affective dispositions toward feeling and emotion itself becomes a target of intervention.
Collective Emotions Beyond the State in Global Politics
Authors: Solomon Ty 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
While the first wave of emotions studies in international relations (IR) often focused on state-level emotions, more recent work has expanded to analyze collective emotions uncoupled from official state structures. This work explores emotions at a range of scales and spaces, from the everyday and micropolitical spaces to cultural and transnational affects. Across a range of empirical cases, this work demonstrates the power and importance of collective emotions in excess of state-level emotions and how they shape broader narratives and subjectivities. This chapter surveys IR work analyzing emotions and affects beyond state and non-state actors along three general themes: micropolitical and everyday spaces and emotions, transnational and online emotions, and diffuse affects, public moods, and affective atmospheres. The chapter concludes with a recognition that these themes represent a continuing trend of researching non-state collective emotions but also an emerging research agenda on the more diffuse aspects of affective experiences in global politics.
Cisheteronormativity and Transitional Justice
Authors: Bueno-Hansen Pascha 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The emerging visibility of violence against people of non-normative genders and sexualities challenges the field and practice of transitional justice to go beyond the limits of cis and heteronormativity. This chapter proposes a queer, intersectional, decolonial, and transfeminist analytical lens that underscores the relevance of regional and global politics, and critiques transitional justice foundational assumptions regarding binary logics and linear temporality. Such an approach grasps the connections across historic and contemporary cis and heteronormative violence, unearths the deep roots of this violence and its related impunity, and addresses the grand challenges of the contemporary moment, including a mounting conservative religious and political backlash. The chapter highlights the collaborative transfeminist praxis of LGBTI activists and advocates from Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia to enhance the capacity to imagine other ways of knowing and being in the world.
Editing Byron and Digital Futures
Authors: Curtis Paul M. 
Published: October 2024

AbstractByron and his works have given rise to a society of editors, some contemporary to each other, the others united through time by a common purpose. From Thomas Moore, Ernest Hartley Coleridge, Rowland Prothero, and Leslie Marchand to Andrew Nicholson, Peter Cochran, and Jerome McGann, this chapter surveys the publication history of Byron’s poetry, prose, and correspondence. It proceeds chronologically from the first posthumous print edition of 1832 to the online Wordpress edition of the letters, works, and critical essays. It also explores the principles employed by the society of editors who have shaped the reception of the poet’s unique biography and have pondered the genius of his oeuvre. The chapter then discusses the nascent and ever-evolving field of the Digital Humanities as it applies to the pedagogical and interpretative challenges posed by Byron and his works.
