Spinning Wheels
Authors: Taylor Colleen 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Throughout the eighteenth century, the spinning wheel’s motion facilitated the metaphor of an invisible, active spinning wheel inside the human mind. The spinning wheel’s resonance in Irish oral poetry, song, and printed literature shows the object’s particular affordance for feminist readings of Irish literature. The communal and widespread tradition of spinning songs gave Irish spinners the opportunity to voice subversive concepts that challenged social gender norms. Similarly, eighteenth-century Ulster poetry invokes the spinning wheel as an extension of the female spinner’s sexualized body and contemplative mind. Sarah Leech’s Poems on Various Subjects (1828) documents a real spinner-poet who used her wheel to justify the publication of her own inner musings. This chapter also uses the feminist materiality of spinning in Sydney Owenson’s Florence Macarthy (1818) to defend Owenson’s underappreciated style as a novelist. The Banim Brothers’ novel The Croppy builds on Owenson’s model by literalizing the significance of Irish material subversion and female agency.
Principals and Agents: How Trusted do Politicians Feel?
Authors: Weinberg James 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This chapter introduces a new survey measure of felt trust, distrust, and mistrust that was fielded to politicians in three democracies. The data provide a stark picture of politicians’ misperceptions of public opinion. Put another way, politicians feel considerably more trusted and less distrusted, and slightly more mistrusted, than is actually the case, and these trends hold across countries. Going beyond comparisons with third-party polling statistics, this chapter also combines survey data collected from UK politicians and voters at the same time, using versions of the same measurement instrument, to provide the first concrete evidence of a ‘trust gap’ between elected representatives and those they are tasked with representing.
Conclusion
Authors: Weinberg James 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The concluding chapter revisits the core questions that guided this book and the research underpinning it. For example, do politicians make accurate appraisals of the trust placed in them? When does this matter for politicians’ behaviour in office? And how do politicians cope as the targets of a high-distrust civic culture? The chapter summarizes the answers provided by the qualitative and quantitative analyses conducted for this book before reflecting on the gaps that still need to be addressed by future research. It also outlines what this new area of trust research might look like and why it deserves more attention.
Revolution and Terror
Authors: Gill Graeme 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This book is a study of the relationship between revolution and terror. Historically, many have claimed that revolution inevitably devolves into terror, best reflected in the way in which after coming to power the revolutionary elite turns on itself and one section of it uses terrorist means to eliminate another section. This thesis originally stemmed from the French revolution but, more recently, has been applied to the Russian and the Chinese revolutions. The book argues that, in order to understand the relationship between revolution and terror, it is necessary to distinguish between different types of terror. There are three such types: revolutionary terror in which the aim is to destroy enemies and thereby consolidate the regime, transformational terror designed to drive the politico-socio-economic transformation of society that is the purpose of the ‘great’ revolutions, and inverted terror which is when terror is turned against part of the elite and regime more broadly. The analysis explains how these different types of terror are related to the revolutionary seizure of power, showing that revolutionary and transformational terror are organically connected to revolution while, for inverted terror, the connection is mediated through the leader. The argument is prosecuted through detailed analysis of the French, Russian, and Chinese revolutions. The study ends by assessing the contemporary salience of the lessons of the ‘great’ revolutions in the light of the low level of violence in the negotiated revolutions of 1989.
The Russian Revolution
Authors: Gill Graeme 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This chapter explains the course of the unrolling of the three types of terror in Russia and then the Soviet Union from 1917 until 1938. In the sequence of terror, the types of terror were much more distinct and less overlapping temporally than they were in France; the Red Terror (revolutionary terror) had ended before collectivization (transformational terror) began, which in turn had ended by the time of the Great Terror (inverted terror). The role of the elite in driving the terror is clear, with the masses playing a less independent and important role than they did in France. When it came to inverted terror, Stalin’s personal responsibility was crucial.
Revolutions Compared
Authors: Gill Graeme 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
After recapitulating the explanation for the different types of terror, the chapter proceeds to compare the three revolutions in terms of the role of terror in them. By so doing, it shows that there were different patterns at work in each case. It then argues that the experience of the so-called negotiated revolutions of 1989, in which large-scale violence and terror were not present, is probably unique. This means that they are unlikely to be the normal model of revolution, and that the lessons derived from the experience with terror of the French, Russian, and Chinese revolutions are likely to remain salient into the future.
Introduction
Authors: Rahim Sana 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This book investigates how the international community problematizes Pakistan’s nuclear ownership and excludes it from the mainstream logics and understandings of nuclear management. I draw upon Western security discourse and the experiences of the Pakistani nuclear community and analyse these as part of the wider context of a centuries’ old pattern of latent Orientalism. Thus, the book has two key aims: firstly, to explore the ways in which the international community understands Pakistan’s possession of nuclear weapons. In this way, I look at these dominant discourses and the way in which I can understand their dominance. I aim to identify the powerful ways in which exclusion from the dominant discourses of international politics happens, establishing how ‘Pakistan’ is ‘fixed’ in particular imaginaries and depictions. Secondly, I investigate what this means for its nuclear community: Pakistani students, physicists, and academics, and how framing can informally permit strictures that can shape the lived realities and the everyday lives of those within this community. Using critical discourse analysis (CDA) and in-depth interviews, I show that Orientalism permeates the fabric of culture and continues to be a key driving force within nuclear politics.
Conclusion
Authors: Rahim Sana 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Chapter 6 concludes that within the dominant discourses’ pictures of reason, Pakistan and its nuclear weapons are excluded from these logics. What is more is that these theories are unable to account for why Pakistan falls outside of the pictures of reason. The excess of meaning that falls outside of these theories is purely related to strategic or technical visions. These excesses are the cultural grids of intelligibility through which Pakistan is rendered visible. Postcolonial approaches are needed to identify Orientalism and put to use a combination of critical and interpretive methods to understand this puzzle. Within this contribution, the researcher assumes a reflexive position.
Mughal Cities
Authors: Shankar Pratyush 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The capital cities established by Mughal rulers were a distinct departure in many ways. At one level they aspired to establish a new relationship with the nature. To treat the landscape as a picturesque setting, affording views and deploying the same in form of gardens and water structures to create a make it available for purpose of recreation and pleasure. The indulgence of the royal elites with their private gardens and suburban retreats also meant that the city was practically left to its own device. The mobile nature of the Mughal king led to creation of an unsettled city and at the other end meant the ‘Tent Cities’ became far more legible and well-formed than the real city.
Cities of Princely States
Authors: Shankar Pratyush 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The partial autonomy that was enjoyed by many Indian states as part of the indirect rule during the British colonial rule, led to some interesting experiments in city development. Cities such as Hyderabad, Gwalior, Mysore, and Baroda managed to create new urban patterns that were a result of larger concerns of social welfare, education reforms apart from symbolism that enhanced the prestige of the state. The role played by freelance professionals such as architects, urban planners, gardeners, and librarian is also discussed in this chapter. These cities and its spaces represent a kind of indigenous modernity that was not only rooted in the context of the society but also managed to create a counter colonial narrative while being connected with similar initiatives across the globe
The 4-Stage Model of Socratic Dialogue
Authors: Padesky Christine A. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Chapter 2, “The 4-Stage Model of Socratic Dialogue,” illustrates Padesky’s model in detail. The best informational questions (Stage 1) are specific, begin with enquiries about information consistent with existing client beliefs, and rely on relevant curiosity to gather information to broaden a client’s perspective. Empathic listening (Stage 2) strengthens the therapy alliance, identifies fruitful paths for Socratic enquires, develops language resonant with the client, alerts therapists to missing content, and contributes to an understanding of client culture and diversity. Making frequent, written summaries (Stage 3) facilitates client awareness and learning, provides an opportunity for new client discovery, and offers a platform that clients can use to review the information that will help them answer analytical and synthesizing questions (Stage 4). Five common traps encountered during use of Socratic questioning are addressed. Clear guidelines are offered for necessary verbal and nonverbal adaptations required when Socratic dialogue is used in Strengths-Based CBT.
Imagery: The Language of Emotion
Authors: Padesky Christine A. , Holmes Emily A. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Chapter 5, “Imagery: The Language of Emotion,” reminds us that mental imagery fills a significant portion of thought processes. Intrusive mental imagery plays a central role in most psychological disorders and has a stronger emotional impact than verbal thought processes. Even so, many therapists neglect to actively assess and work with imagery in psychotherapy. Socratic dialogue is ideally suited to help therapists identify and address client imagery. Therapist–client dialogues illustrate the use of Socratic dialogue to identify imagery when clients report they don’t have images, assess the importance of the varieties of imagery reported, and work with imagery as part of evidence-based psychotherapy practice. Socratic dialogue, behavioral experiments, thought records, and other methods of guided discovery are demonstrated as applied to imagery that involves sound, smells, and touch; auditory hallucinations; distorted traumatic images; nightmares; and imagery related to events that didn’t really happen. Clinical examples address imagery as part of collaborative case conceptualization, imaginal rehearsal as a means to improve adherence with learning assignments, and the roles positive imagery can play in developing resilience and working toward other constructive therapy goals.
Guided Discovery with Adversity
Authors: Moorey Stirling 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Chapter 8, “Guided Discovery with Adversity,” illustrates how helping clients cope with life adversity involves supporting them with decision making about what to accept and what to change in their lives, finding ways to exert control over seemingly uncontrollable situations, and acceptance that life circumstances can be filled with uncertainty and uncontrollability. A variety of Socratic dialogue questions are proposed to help clients appraise their problems realistically and helpfully, build strengths in problem-focused, life-focused, and internal-focused coping, and find a balance in their coping responses. This chapter identifies six traps that can interfere with progress in these areas, two that are client-based, two therapist-based, and two that stem from environmental constraints. Each of these traps can be avoided or resolved through use of Socratic dialogue and other guided discovery methods that are described within relevant case examples.
The Rhetoric and Politics of de lege agraria I & II
Authors: Krostenko Brian A. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This chapter describes the chief claim of the book: that Cicero in de lege agraria I and II lays out two distinctive visions of dignitas and libertas, the cardinal values of the respective audiences, the senate and the people. That was an appropriate ideological exercise for a new consul delivering his first two speeches. This chapter also derives some of the principles of reading that make those distinctive visions apparent: they appear for the most part not in direct discussion of the ideals but are implicit in and govern Cicero’s choices of word, phrase, and image. Last, the chapter describes the ostensible topic of the speeches, an agrarian bill proposed by a tribune of the plebs—a thoughtful bill with worthy aims but also with some dubious or audacious features. Cicero exploits those features as points of departure for his reflections on the proper form of government.
Dignitas
Authors: Krostenko Brian A. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This chapter probes the ideology of LA 1. The senate speech continually prompts senators to prune back boldness, individualism, and partisanship in favor of principled collectivism. The bill attached conquered properties (LA 1.5–6, 2.50–51). The senate version makes the senate the guardians of sacred tradition, among which are conquests—including Pompey’s. The bill attached various military monies (LA 1.11–13, 2.59). The senate version uses Faustus Sulla, the dictator’s son, to symbolize the dangers of partisan lawcraft. Cicero imagines the bill’s loose language would allow a colony right on the Janiculum hill (LA 1.16, 2.74). The senate version makes political perceptiveness the token of shared identity. All these accents reach their culmination in the peroration: its distinct philosophical and even protreptic cast draws on elite intellectual culture and turns equanimity into a political watchword. A disciplined senate, unified behind Cicero, can thus return to its past glory.
Strong Dialectic, Neurathian Reflection, and the Ascent of Desire
Authors: Whiting Jennifer 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This chapter seeks to find the elements of truth in each of two prominent and explicitly opposed readings of Aristotle’s ethics: the “rationalist” and “non-rationalist” readings offered, respectively, by Terence Irwin and John McDowell. Focusing especially on the relation between Aristotle’s methods and his substantive views, the chapter argues that Aristotle is reasonably read as employing something like what Irwin calls “strong dialectic” to support the substantive account of moral psychology that McDowell sees in Aristotle’s ethical works. McDowell in fact recognizes something like this when he allows that Aristotle’s virtuous agent may seek “reflective reassurance” by engaging in Neurathian reflection on her ethical outlook. What matters is that the reflection be in some sense internal to that outlook and play no direct role in the motivational economy of the agent. Irwin, however, resists this proposed reconciliation, perhaps because he tends to see eudaimonism as a form of rational egoism.
A Somewhat Peaceful Phase

Abstract
Gull Mohammad and several other boys were shifted to the Centre for Islamic Studies situated in Lucknow. Details of the daily routine and living with the basics were provided. Only fans, no coolers, even as the temperatures soar. No walking alone beyond the boundary walls. . . . Gull Mohammad makes friends with several of his classmates who hail from several other states of the country . . . They love to hear him telling about the details of Kashmir. And after the night namaaz/Isha namaaz, he would talk to the boys about his Kashmir home and also about his parents and brother. Day after day, the routine is the same. He asks his friend Shaaz, if he could spend Eid with him and his family in Lucknow’s Golaganj locality.

Abstract
The few days he spent with Shaaz’s family in Lucknow carry the details of this young Kashmiri boy’s discussions with the local Muslims . . . And though men sat in one corner of the courtyard, by evening they shift to the inner covered veranda. No, not adequate for all the men of the household. With that, Gull Mohammad and Shaaz shifted to the inner room, which is connected to another side room, where the women and girls sleep on the floor covered with mats/mattresses. And lying there he’d gaped at Shaaz’s sister—Zebunnisa. Hormonal turbulence hitting, though he didn’t quite realize the changes coming about . . . And though there was tension around in the locality where Shaaz’s family resided, he was at ease living with this family.

He finds himself in a well-managed ‘home’ situated in Kerala’s Calicut . . . Though it is run by a Muslim Trust, Hindu and Christian children are also housed in there. Living happily, on par. One evening the local television channels come up with the breaking news—busloads of Muslims from Lucknow at the Calicut bus stop, seeking refuge in North Kerala. He rushes out, running towards the main bus stop. Nah, Shaaz nor Zebunissa or their family spotted amongst the ‘refugee’ lot. Though he did get to hear that, that family was hounded out of their Golaganj home . . . killed by unknown killers! He cries out Sabr! On the last page of his diary, he scribbles—sabr, sabr, sabr—patience with hope. His mother would often cry out ‘sabr’, when situations became difficult to handle.
UMAMIT44 is a key player in glutamate export from Arabidopsis chloroplasts
Authors: The Samantha Vivia , Santiago James P , Pappenberger Clara , Hammes Ulrich Z , Tegeder Mechthild 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Selective partitioning of amino acids among organelles, cells, tissues, and organs is essential for cellular metabolism and plant growth. Nitrogen assimilation into glutamine and glutamate and de novo biosynthesis of most protein amino acids occur in chloroplasts; therefore, various transport mechanisms must exist to accommodate their directional efflux from the stroma to the cytosol and feed the amino acids into the extraplastidial metabolic and long-distance transport pathways. Yet, Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) transporters functioning in plastidial export of amino acids remained undiscovered. Here, USUALLY MULTIPLE ACIDS MOVE IN AND OUT TRANSPORTER 44 (UMAMIT44) was identified and shown to function in glutamate export from Arabidopsis chloroplasts. UMAMIT44 controls glutamate homeostasis within and outside of chloroplasts and influences nitrogen partitioning from leaves to sinks. Glutamate imbalances in chloroplasts and leaves of umamit44 mutants impact cellular redox state, nitrogen and carbon metabolism, and amino acid (AA) and sucrose supply of growing sinks, leading to negative effects on plant growth. Nonetheless, the mutant lines adjust to some extent by upregulating alternative pathways for glutamate synthesis outside the plastids and by mitigating oxidative stress through the production of other amino acids and antioxidants. Overall, this study establishes that the role of UMAMIT44 in glutamate export from chloroplasts is vital for controlling nitrogen availability within source leaf cells and for sink nutrition, with an impact on growth and seed yield.

Abstract
DNA methylation is an important epigenetic mark implicated in selective rRNA gene expression, but the DNA methylation readers and effectors remain largely unknown. Here, we report a protein complex that reads DNA methylation to regulate variant-specific 45S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene expression in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). The complex, consisting of METHYL-CpG-BINDING DOMAIN PROTEIN5 (MBD5), MBD6, ALPHA-CRYSTALLIN DOMAIN PROTEIN15.5 (ACD15.5), and ACD21.4, directly binds to 45S rDNA. While MBD5 and MBD6 function redundantly, ACD15.5 and ACD21.4 are indispensable for variant-specific rRNA gene expression. These 4 proteins undergo phase separation in vitro and in vivo and are interdependent for their phase separation. The α-crystallin domain of ACD15.5 and ACD21.4, which is essential for their function, enables phase separation of the complex, likely by mediating multivalent protein interactions. The effector MICRORCHIDIA6 directly interacts with ACD15.5 and ACD21.4, but not with MBD5 and MBD6, and is recruited to 45S rDNA by the MBD–ACD complex to regulate variant-specific 45S rRNA expression. Our study reveals a pathway in Arabidopsis through which certain 45S rRNA gene variants are silenced, while others are activated.
The Effect of SkQ1 on the Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Responses in Corneal Endothelial Cells During Ex Vivo Expansion
Authors: Choo Charlene H. , Chung Doug D. , Aldave Anthony J. 
Published: December 2023

Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to characterize the oxidative stress and inflammatory responses in ex vivo corneal endothelial cells (evCEnC) during expansion and assess the impact of SkQ1, an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound, on measures of oxidative stress and inflammation.

Methods:
A CEnC line (HCEnC-21T) was cultured in media supplemented with varying SkQ1 concentrations to determine the optimal SkQ1 dose range of toxicity and protective effect on CEnC exposed to acute oxidative stress. The impact of SkQ1 treatment on intracellular free radical (IFR) levels, NRF2-mediated oxidative stress response, and NFkB-mediated inflammatory response was determined at each passage of evCEnC isolated from donor corneas and cultured in SkQ1-supplemented and untreated media.

Results:
HCEnC-21T cultured in media supplemented with ≤250 nM SkQ1 retained over 95% cell viability compared with untreated cells. SkQ1 provided oxidative stress protection to HCEnC-21T in a dose-dependent manner up to 500 nM. In evCEnC, 50 nM and 250 nM SkQ1 supplementation significantly reduced IFR levels across passages 0 to 3 (P-values of 0.015 and 0.023, respectively) and 50 nM SkQ1 supplementation led to decreased levels of active NRF2 in evCEnC at passage 2. However, media supplementation with SkQ1 (50 nM and 250 nM) did not alter NFkB activation at any passage.

Conclusions:
SkQ1 media supplementation provides oxidative stress protection to HCEnC-21T in a dose-dependent manner and decreases IFR levels and NRF2 activation in evCEnC during expansion at concentrations that do not negatively affect CEnC viability. These findings indicate that SkQ1 supplementation may increase the expansion potential of evCEnC.
