Authors: Kay A. H. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
In this chapter, there are seven articles dealing with serious infectious and inflammatory diseases. Article 1 provides a cardiologist’s detailed account of limbic encephalitis, emphasizing the fluctuating cognitive and emotional symptoms due to hippocampal and amygdala involvement. Article 2 offers insights from a neurologist on a unique presentation of autoimmune limbic encephalitis that affected him. Article 3 shares a physician’s personal journey with autoimmune encephalitis, highlighting the condition’s significant impact on mental well-being. Article 4 focuses on a psychiatrist’s challenging experience with COVID-19-related delirium and the lingering effects of long COVID. Article 5 discusses a doctor’s delirium episode following COVID-19, which included a period in intensive care. Article 6 reports another doctor’s experience with delirium, which followed a presumed meningitis infection. Finally, Article 7 is a gripping story of survival from a psychiatrist who battled streptococcal toxic shock syndrome.
‘Living for today’ with a progressive condition
Authors: Marhoon A. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter compiles six articles that provide a window into the varied experiences of those with multiple sclerosis (MS). Article 1 discusses a young postgraduate student in psychology grappling with the progressive form of MS, a variant less common than the typical relapsing–remitting type. Article 2 tells the story of a doctor who works as both an oncologist and a haematologist, and whose long history with MS intersects poignantly with personal loss. Article 3 is about a young lady who has a master’s in public health and works in a university setting. She describes the unique challenges in facing MS as a Pakistani-American, providing insights into the challenges of having a condition more prevalent in Western countries. Article 4 reveals how an obstetrician and gynaecologist navigates her professional duties while managing MS symptoms. Article 5 presents a physician’s account of living with MS and the complexities of treatment. Finally, Article 6 features a medical researcher’s reflections on the profound impact of good communication, or the lack thereof, in the journey with MS.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter assembles four articles that delve into the personal experiences of those with epilepsy. Article 1 presents a family doctor’s narrative, highlighting the role of compassion and hope in confronting epilepsy-related stigma and low mood. Article 2 offers the reflections of a medical student on the stigma surrounding epilepsy and the complexities of disclosing such a diagnosis. Article 3 chronicles a paediatrician’s journey with epilepsy, from the early onset of complex partial seizures, to the diagnosis of hippocampal sclerosis, to surgical intervention, and then to dealing with career progression.
Research Design
Authors: Koch Cédric M. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter describes the research design that this book develops and uses to test its arguments empirically and operationalizes key variables and alternative explanations to this account. It introduces the comparative-historical method whereby the following empirical chapters test different parts of the argument and provides an overview of its nested design which combines data at the individual, party-political, and (inter)national level analysed using both statistical methods and a comparative case study. It then presents the case selection, data, and operationalizations that are used across the book’s three empirical chapters, as well as how these account for key alternative explanations.
In the Name of Which ‘People’?
Authors: Koch Cédric M. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter operationalizes and empirically tests under which conditions which variety of populism gains from democratic legitimacy depletion in the liberal international order (LIO). To test its expectations, the chapter develops and presents an explanatory typology which empirically classifies eighty-seven electoral cycles across eight EU states since 1980 to test the theorized mechanisms in a most likely subsample of the LIO. After discussing the method, operationalization, and case selection, it discusses ‘typical’ and ‘deviant’ cases to test the typology. Focusing on how (inter)national demand is mobilized in electoral politics, the comparative case study shows how the populist radical left is disadvantaged vis-à-vis the populist radical right to exploit democratic legitimacy depletion in the EU. To probe the generalizability of findings, statistical analyses of thirty-seven states since 1980 demonstrate that the theorized types of democratic legitimacy depletion are equally associated with gains for expected populist party families in the full LIO sample.
Conclusion
Authors: Koch Cédric M. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter concludes by situating the book’s main findings within the debates about the crises of liberal (international) order. It discusses its limitations, contributions, and implications for understanding the crisis of liberal democracy as well as the crisis of liberal international order (LIO) and charts out avenues for future research. It argues that populism should be seen also as an international symptom, not (only) a cause of liberal order crises. Despite primarily being an authoritarian nationalist threat overall, inclusionary versions and indirect effects on other parties mean that populism can also contribute to a democratic and even cosmopolitan corrective to an undemocratic form of liberalism in the LIO. For international integration, the book implies that populists successfully politicized democratic input legitimacy perceptions which were previously neglected and that they triggered electoral contests over alternative trajectories to increase political responsiveness to citizens which increasingly shape the future of international order.
Free Imagination
Authors: 9780198901198  , Tse Peter Ulric 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This book argues that the brain’s capacity to imagine is the fundamental basis of human free will. Laws of physics need not apply in our internal simulations so virtually anything is possible there. And since some of our actions can follow from that which we imagine, our actions inherit the wild freedom of our imaginings. The creative power of the human imagination may have evolved as a consequence of the demodularization of neural circuitry associated with volitional attentional operations over operands downloadable into a mental workspace where almost anything could be combined with anything else. This new cognitive architecture gave rise to the danger of psychosis. Our schizotypal form of imagination may have evolved only in humans by exapting from existing motoric and other operations involved in volitional hand dexterity to a domain of pre-motoric simulation. What is imagined into existence can be used for good or evil. Imagination is therefore our greatest tool and weapon. When applied to ourselves, it allows us the possibility of reimagining and then transforming ourselves in light of second-order desires. This gives us the ability to choose to become a new kind of chooser in the future. Other animals lack this second-order free will; although they can do otherwise, they cannot want to become otherwise than they are, making them amoral. Humans, in contrast, because they have second-order free will, can be moral or immoral.
Qu’est-ce que (qu’)est-ce que?
Authors: Pollock Jean-Yves , Munaro Nicola 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The main goal of this chapter is to shed light on the syntax of the extremely common, though understudied, qu’est-ce que/qui questions of French and Northern Italian dialects. In addition to the surprising distribution of Que (‘what’) in French illustrated by such pairs as *Que tombe/arrive? (‘What falls/happens?’) vs. Qu’est-ce qui tombe/arrive? (‘What is it that+i falls/happens?’), the chapter investigates the strong tendency of many NIDs to make systematic use of these constructions when subjects are questioned. This is true of che and chi in Bellunese: *che/chi te disturba? (‘What/who disturbs you?’) vs. E-lo che/chi che te disturba? (‘Who is it that disturbs you?’). Similarly, the Northern Veneto dialects require the complex construction when, as in E-lo che che no te-à parecià? (‘What is it that you haven’t prepared?’), the corresponding affirmative sentence is negative *No à-tu parecià che?. Another property investigated here is the subject vs. object asymmetry of French Qu’est-ce que questions tied to a bare vs. complex qu-phrase contrast The est-ce que strategy in French must be used when que is extracted from subject position, but is banned if que is replaced by a complex qu-phrase, although extracting such phrases from non-subject positions is fine, as pointed out in Obenauer (1981): ? ?Quel joueur est-ce qui a trompé Paul? (‘What player is this that has fooled Paul?’) vs. Quel joueur est-ce que Paul a trompé? (‘What player is this that Paul has fooled?’). These puzzles have not been discussed in the (generative) literature on French and Romance. The chapter shows that they can be made to follow from UG, the HLP of Romance questions, the proper analysis of the various qu-/ch-words, and the respective status of negation in French and the NIDs. Its concluding section provides a syntactic analysis of its puzzling title.
Arguing for remnant movement in romance
Authors: Pollock Jean-Yves , Poletto Cecilia 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The chapter provides a number of arguments showing that certain comparative generalizations in Romance are best captured if they are seen as reflecting the displacement of remnant constituents. The main empirical domain studied is French (real) questions like Tu as vu qui? (‘Who did you see?’), Elle a acheté quel livre? (‘What book has she bought?’), etc. In sharp opposition to a number of recent proposals claiming that the sentence-final qu-words and phrases of such questions do stand ‘in situ’ in their IP internal position, the chapter shows that they result from ‘ordinary’ qu-movement to the HLP followed by remnant IP movement to higher slots in that domain. The chapter also comes back to SCLI and CI in French and Romance and provides additional empirical arguments showing that clitics are not prefixed to the verb, implying that SCLI and CI, argued to result from real pre-spell out computations, must be due to phrasal remnant movement to the (highly split) HLP. It also ties the non-existence of CI in other Romance languages and dialects to the null subject parameter: in nullsubject languages, ‘subjects’ stand in a topic slot of the HLP to the left of IP, therefore, unlike their French counterparts, they cannot be ‘smuggled’ to the interrogative slot by SCLI.
On the syntax of French Qu’est-ce que clauses and related constructions
Authors: Pollock Jean-Yves 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter takes Kayne’s anti-homophony heuristic seriously and brings it to bear on the ubiquitous Que+est+ce+que sequence which very different syntactic constructions in French share, as illustrated by questions like Qu’est-ce quetu fais? (‘What are you doing?’), exclamatives like Qu’est-ce queMarie est belle! (‘How pretty Marie is!’), and the (colloquial) free relatives in sentences like Je feraiqu’est-ce que tu veux (‘I’ll do what you want’). The chapter develops a syntactic analysis for the French que, combien, and ce que exclamatives. This analysis lays the groundwork for a proper understanding of Qu’est-ce que exclamatives and relatives which draws heavily on Kayne and Pollock (2011). It claims further that in all of those constructions the ce+que sequence is the complementizer of free relatives. The chapter also brings into the fold of questions like Qu’est-ce quetu fais? sentences such as A qui est-ce que tu as parlé? (‘Who did you talk to?’), Quel livre est-ce que tu as lu? (‘What book did you read?’), which Chapter 4 failed to integrate. If this is correct, (free) relatives play a major part in the syntax of a far larger set of French constructions than had been previously envisaged. It is argued further that, in such constructions, est (‘is’) despite its spelling, is the root ε of the copula. If this is correct, its role in French questions and in Bantou copula constructions as described in Gibson, Guérois, and Marten (2019) may be seen in a comparable perspective.
Global Crisis Management
Authors: Gottschalk Petter 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter presents survey research regarding the seriousness of white-collar and corporate crime. The survey was administered to management students in India, criminology students in Iran, business students in Malaysia, business-school students in Norway, criminal-justice students in Romania, and criminology students in the United States. The survey research in these six nations was not undertaken at the same time. Rather, initially, in 2020, this research had access only to students in Norway and the United States. Then scholars in other countries contacted the researchers in Norway and the United States regarding the application of convenience theory as published. Over a period of some years, similar questionnaires were distributed among students in India and Iran. The last nations involved were Malaysia and Romania in 2023. The six nations are thus not the result of a selection approach to representativeness, nor were the surveys conducted at the same time.
Realism and Dissent
Authors: Jubb Robert 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter explores whether realism has the resources to appropriately judge challenges to liberal democratic authority. Some realists have been tempted to treat any regime that avoids particularly arbitrary or brutal rule as authoritative. This is just as problematic for distinguishing liberal democratic from autocratic regimes as any other binary view. Distinguishing between political order and political rule more thoroughly allows realists to consider the various goods that a regime offers and so the various reasons its subjects may have for treating it as authoritative. Understanding the authority of a regime, then, means understanding the details of its relationship with its subjects. That prevents detailed assessments of challenges to a right to rule, but does provide a frame to locate different forms of protest and resistance and their relationship to political order. Rage can be appropriate, just as more peaceful protest can be more deeply threatening.
“My Father Was a Wandering Aramean”
Authors: Kaminsky Joel , Hurst Allison 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Ancient Israel’s foundational story enshrined the notion that its ancestors emigrated to the land of Canaan, a land that they were forced to leave repeatedly and to which they kept returning. Examples of this recurring biblical motif include: Abraham’s emigration from Mesopotamia and subsequent flight from Canaan to Egypt and return to Canaan; Jacob’s forced exile to Mesopotamia and his return to Canaan that is followed by his family’s eventual emigration to Egypt; the Israelites’ journey to Canaan from Egypt; the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem that resulted in forced migrations to Babylonia and Egypt; and the eventual return of some of the exiles to the Persian province of Judea. This national origin story left a significant imprint on a number of biblical laws and narratives that show a deep concern for resident aliens and certain foreigners. This chapter will explore the complexity of the biblical terrain surrounding ancient Israel’s self-perception as an immigrant people and the effect this had on the biblical understanding and treatment of various categories of non-Israelites. Along the way, we will interrogate in what ways the biblical materials and conceptual categories can or cannot be usefully mapped upon and applied to the contemporary immigration crisis in the United States.
Kittens, Virgins, and Zygotes
Authors: Mendoza-Denton Norma 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter considers state and non-state actors’ collective investment in the control of sexuality, and more specifically the idealization of chastity through the promotion of the concepts of kawaii and cute, which are affective categories largely defined through innocence and childishness, and through an implied lack of sexual experience. Two international case studies are presented—one from Japan to understand kawaii and the other from Mexico to understand cute and its emerging analog in Mexico, kiut. The two specific cases shed light on the relationship between affective categories, nation branding, and soft power, as well as the relationship between religion and its investment in the control of reproduction and sexuality. Special attention is paid to semiotic resources (advertising/branding and toys) for the production of childishness and (sexual) innocence.
Examining Palestinian Arabs Group Rights in Israel through a Multicultural Lens
Authors: Totry-Jubran Manal 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter explores a multicultural perspective on the group rights of Israel’s Palestinian-Arab citizens, the country’s largest native national minority. Israel’s dual definition as both Jewish and democratic presents challenges in addressing the diverse needs of the Palestinian minority while upholding the nation’s Jewish identity and commitment to equality. To understand the group rights of Israel’s Arab minority comprehensively, the author analyzes this challenge through two lenses. The first is “external group relations,” which primarily address challenges in exercising group rights (such as in education, language, and culture) requiring state protection and often intersecting with the nation’s Jewish character. The second lens is “internal group conflicts,” concerning the demands a group imposes on its own members to safeguard itself from internal challenges that could threaten its stability. The author argues that while most external group relations are limited in scope, internal conflicts exhibit a wider spectrum of concerns.
Freedom of Expression in Israel
Authors: Shinar Adam 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter provides an overview and critique of the protection of free expression in Israel. It argues that protection of speech in Israel has been almost exclusively reserved to the judiciary in the face of suspicion and sometimes hostility to free expression in the legislature and the executive. This duality can be traced to a security-driven colonialist paradigm dominant during Israel’s first years, which still maintains its hold on legal consciousness. According to this paradigm, security considerations are paramount and legitimate speech restrictions. Whereas this is the case in many jurisdictions, in Israel security considerations have been understood in an expansive and expanding way, thus serving to increase speech restrictions. The Supreme Court has increasingly resisted the security-based paradigm, yet developments in Israel, underscored by a permanent state of emergency, have all but guaranteed that security-based considerations receive a great deal of deference, even when security is merely a cover for preserving Israel’s constitutional identity and ideological hegemony. The conflicting approaches to free speech thus generate, on the one hand, a right that commands broad consensus in the abstract, but on the other hand, a right whose standing is still precarious. This chapter thus tells the story of both the protection and the vulnerability of speech protection in Israel, amidst these competing poles.
Possible Human Languages
Authors: Szabó Zoltán Gendler 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to elucidate what possible human languages might be. I argue that, on any acceptable characterization of possible human languages, American Sign Language should count as one, but the Language of Peano Arithmetic should not. I then consider two ways of drawing the line that delivers this result: one based on learnability and another on useability. The two pull in different directions, setting up different ways to think about the subject matter of linguistics. I discuss how the two approaches account for the principle of compositionality and consider how limitations and impediments of human languages (such as ambiguity, vagueness, paucity, and irregularity) can motivate linguistic innovations that result in formal languages that are not humanly possible.
Do not Diagonalize
Authors: Kirk-Giannini Cameron Domenico 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
It is natural to hold that the content of an assertion is whatever information it communicates to its audience. In cases involving uncertainty about the semantic values of context-sensitive lexical items, it is natural to hold that the information an assertion communicates to its audience is whatever information audience members can recover from it by assuming that the proposition it semantically determines is true. This picture corresponds to an influential theory of assertoric content: diagonalism. I argue that diagonalism should be rejected because it conflicts with our intuitive judgments about the circumstances in which the contents of speakers’ assertions would be true or false. I then show that the failure of diagonalism requires us to either abandon a familiar way of thinking about information and rational assertion or hold that the content of an assertion is not always the information it communicates. I suggest that we choose the latter.
