Scientific Transactions
Authors: Henderson Felicity 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter gives an overview of some of the most prolific and influential scientific writers of the period, including Thomas Browne, Robert Boyle, Robert Hooke, John Evelyn, John Wilkins, and Isaac Newton. The new philosophy, though, required the collection of a vast quantity of data. It was the contributions of an army of observers to a new form of publication, the scientific journal, that had the most influence on the development of scientific prose in the period. Alongside the reports printed in the Royal Society’s journal Philosophical Transactions, the chapter considers other prose forms favoured by scientists including the letter, the collection of aphorisms, the museum catalogue, and the natural history taxonomy. In many scientific publications prose and image worked together to convey meaning, and the chapter briefly considers this interaction, as well as the connections between manuscript, print, and oral culture and the relationship between Latin and vernacular prose.
Secret Histories
Authors: Bullard Rebecca 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Secret history is a polemical form of history writing that flourished during the political ferment of the period 1640–1714. Like many other ‘new’ forms of writing of this period, it is a hybrid of a number of different literary traditions, adapted to new political and cultural circumstances. This chapter traces the evolving contours of secret history through texts that are familiar to students of literature and history (for instance, Andrew Marvell’s Account of the Growth of Popery and Arbitrary Government (1677); Aphra Behn’s Love-Letters Between a Nobleman and His Sister (1683–5); and Delarivier Manley’s New Atalantis (1709)) as well as relatively obscure, but nonetheless sophisticated and self-conscious, examples of the form. It reveals secret history to be a form in which political responsiveness and literary innovation are intimately connected, and in which the complexities of the literary and political relationship between England and France are especially apparent.
Sermons
Authors: Johnston Warren 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
It has been estimated that over 10,000 sermons appeared on booksellers’ shelves from the mid-seventeenth to the mid-eighteenth century. This chapter uses fast-day sermons from 1640 to 1714 as a representative case study of sermon literature during this period. Though this is only one subgenre of sermons, it is a useful and effective approach for several reasons: it provides a greater depth of analysis across a unified type of work; it considers a wide range of authors; finally, the period begins with a set of fast sermons that many scholars are already familiar with—those preached during the Long Parliament—and allows comparisons to be made between and among these Civil War examples of the form and those from the Interregnum, Restoration, Williamite, and early Augustan periods. The impact of political, social, intellectual, and cultural influences on sermons, as well as their religious purposes, are particularly evident in fast-day sermons.
Histories
Authors: Allsopp Niall 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
History writing of the later Stuart period was, scholars agree, dominated by partisan warfare. In a bitterly partisan climate, the past supplied a powerful resource for defining, consolidating, and even ritualizing a sense of collective political identity, and for delegitimizing others. This process drew on a diverse range of historical sources, but the central, defining touchstone was the collective memory of the Civil Wars. Coalitions were fashioned through sermons, pamphlets, petitions, declarations, journalism—all forms in which writers worked to resolve complex events into comprehensible and galvanizing narratives. In light of the complex and nuanced picture of political mobilization offered by recent historiography, we need to reassess what it means to describe history writing as ‘partisan’. The aim of this chapter is to explore how seventeenth-century historians describe partisanship during the Civil Wars, and how their understanding of history-reading might itself mobilize readers.
Introduction
Authors: McDowell Nicholas , Power Henry 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter introduces the rationale for, and format of, The Oxford Handbook of English Prose, 1640–1714. It provides an overview of theories of the rise of prose in English in the late seventeenth century, and it is suggested that one of the barriers to a greater appreciation of the efflorescence of English prose from the mid-seventeenth to the early eighteenth centuries has been the traditional division of the period into ‘Renaissance’, ‘Civil War’, ‘Restoration’, and ‘Eighteenth Century’. It is explained that the periodization that has conventionally segmented English literary history must be surmounted to obtain a more panoramic view of what was a golden age of English prose. The chapter goes on to argue for the virtues of the organization of the volume around categories of prose rather than authorship or style to capture the fascinating and surprising variety of prose in this period of unprecedented political and social turmoil.
Bites and Shams
Authors: McTague John 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Prose seems to lend itself to shamming, hoaxing, practical joking, and other forms of social deceit much more readily than verse or drama, even if many of the escapades this chapter deals with are distinctively performative, dependant on a public audience, and reliant on kinds of suspension of disbelief. That may be because the translucent deadpan upon which shamming is founded is more readily achievable in a medium associated with apparently ‘straight-forward’ forms of writing like historiography, scientific report, travel writing, political theory or debate, and literary criticism. This chapter explores how the bipartisan conflicts of the civil wars and party politics exposed for many the artificiality of the political settlement, and encouraged scepticism about truth claims in political culture. More than simply poking fun, bites and shams provide prose writers with parallel spaces for literary, political, and historiographical argument.
Brief Lives and Characters
Authors: Bennett Kate 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This period saw an increase in the writing of the brief life and the character, both within collections such as John Aubrey’s Brief Lives and Anthony Wood’s Athenæ Oxonienses and as separate productions. This chapter will begin by considering one brief life, Shaftesbury’s account of his foxhunting squire relative Henry Hastings, whose composition, publication history, terminology, and delicately ironic tone is typical of the brief life’s special relationship with locality (both urban and distinctly rustic) and associated traditions, with family relationships, with anecdotal oddity and singularity, and with antiquarian rarity. In direct contrast to biography, with which it has an eccentric relationship, the brief life is often the fruit of antiquarian research, the preservation of a marginal, fragile, and often provincial account which later finds an urban home in the rhapsodic publication or the magazine. This period shows two modes, often in dialogue: exemplarity (both hagiographical and satirical) and particularity.
Psalms
Authors: Johnson Kimberly 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter considers the Sidney Psalter—with particular attention to the famous variety of its poetic structures—in order to identify the aesthetic method that governs the whole of the translation. Rather than making use of the familiar and adaptable measures commonly used in sixteenth-century church worship, Sidney utilises a constantly changing set of verse forms that defy general liturgical use. In both their shifting poetic forms and their thematic content, Sidney’s psalm translations imagine spiritual devotion as a reshaping of the self into a new paradigm, a bending to ‘God’s waies’, and they propose a continually revised sense of the proper shape of worship. Providing a structural analogue for the psalter’s vacillating emotional positionings, the formal innovations of the Sidney psalm paraphrases communicate the difficulty of achieving spiritual accord with the divine.
Sidney and Rhetoric
Authors: Mann Jenny C. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter analyses how Sidney’s Arcadia shaped English conceptions of rhetorical eloquence in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This was a volatile moment in English literary history: an increasing number of writers were asserting the artful capacity of their vernacular language, while at the same remaining subject to an educational system and cultural paradigm that regarded that language as barbarous and impure. The tension between the timeless model of classical art and the degraded historicity of vernacular practice comprises the animating contradiction of ‘vulgar eloquence’. This chapter outlines Sidney’s central role in the formation of this self-contradictory idea of English eloquence, while also arguing that the Arcadia ‘unfixes’ the normative assumptions of this cultural and rhetorical paradigm. Sidney’s romance does not ‘fit’ the ideology of eloquence that it is supposed to exemplify, an indecorum that is integral to its enduring power.
Sidney and Class
Authors: McKeown Adam 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Philip Sidney is remembered as the exemplar courtier poet of the Elizabethan age, but he was not a spokesperson for the elite company he kept and was in many ways its harshest critic. A member of that class of minor gentlemen who were the backbone of Elizabethan civil and military administration, Sidney wrote from the margins of elite society. He was a keen observer of social class interactions, of aristocratic attitudes toward the labouring and artisanal classes, and of the constraints aristocratic society placed on courtiers, like himself, who had to negotiate it without title or substantial fortune. This chapter shows how Sidney’s concerns with social class interaction, and especially those between a self-interested aristocracy and an unruly labouring class, shape The Countess of Pembroke’s Arcadia and how his exasperation with aristocratic attitudes toward work and compensation inform his Defence of Poesy.
Sidney and the Passions
Authors: Sierhuis Freya 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The passions, and in particular the passion of love, are not merely the motive force behind the plot of Sidney’s Arcadia, they are in many ways central to Sidney’s poetics, and constitutive of his thinking about the relationship between imitation and writing. This chapter traces the relationship between love, admiration, and imitation in both the Old Arcadia and the New as a way of understanding Sidney’s fundamentally divided attitude to the emotions, and to his own fictions of passionate mimesis. It shows how Sidney deliberately complicates the work’s representation of passionate experience by examining it through contrasting philosophical frameworks, Aristotelian and Platonic, and how the Neoplatonising idealism that links admiration and love to imitation is undermined from within through counter-fictions which link the same passions to political manipulation, transgression, and to the waywardness of desire.
Municipal Politics in the Netherlands
Authors: de Blok Lisanne , Jansen Giedo , Vollaard Hans 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Research on municipal politics and governance in the Netherlands and elsewhere is fairly limited and fragmented. However, some case studies of participatory and deliberative innovations in Dutch municipalities exist. In addition, the various modes of service delivery and the impact of amalgamation have been studied. Much less attention has been devoted to the relationships within municipal governments (consisting of the municipal council, the mayor, and the executive board of mayor and aldermen) and to the influence of municipal governments within complex networks of private and public actors at various levels (from sub-municipal to international). Various studies—for instance, on the evolution of the municipal council, the Dutch Local Elections Studies (since 2016), and Dutch Local Political Elites Studies (since 2019)—are therefore necessary steps to describe and explain how municipalities deal with challenges such as post-New Public Management reforms, declining turnout, fragmentation of councils, increasing turnover of councillors, aldermen, and mayors, and how they can strengthen leadership and democratic accountability in complex multilevel network governance.
Abortion, Euthanasia, and Transgender Issues in Dutch Politics
Authors: Trappenburg Margo 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
In 2001 the Dutch adopted the first ever euthanasia law in the world. In 2000 they were the first to legalize same-sex marriages. Presently they are famed for the ‘Dutch protocol’ that allows transgender children to start hormone treatments before they hit puberty. This chapter looks at the past, present, and future of morality issues, arguing that these were often treated in accordance with the rules of consociationalist decision making. Euthanasia was shelved by the political system, but the practice had been semi-legalized by doctors and judges long before 2001. But consociationalism is not the only game in town. From the 1990s onwards, political parties also actively politicized morality issues, leading to official laws codifying existing practices. Future developments regarding morality issues will take place in a completely different party system in which new populist parties alternate between taking pride in Dutch progressive values and opposing them in the name of tradition.
Managing Increased Complexity in Dutch Coalition Politics
Authors: Louwerse Tom , Timmermans Arco 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Governance in the Dutch parliamentary system is characterized by majority coalition governments. Highlighting the pivotal role of these coalitions, this chapter unveils their formation, governance patterns, and termination. The electoral system’s indirect link to government formation complicates the translation of election outcomes into coalitions. As a result, lengthy post-election negotiations are the norm, and the management of coalition governance has become increasingly important as the number of coalition parties has increased compared to the 1980s. Many coalition governments resign before the end of their term due to policy conflicts in the coalition. This chapter offers a comprehensive exploration of Dutch coalition governance dynamics by first describing the process of government formation, mechanisms of governance, and the way in which governments are terminated, then discussing the major research advanced in this field, and finally outlining a research agenda for this topic.
The Politics of Dutch Health Care Governance
Authors: Maarse Hans , Jeurissen Patrick 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter provides a concise overview of the politics of Dutch health care. The first section discusses three basic system characteristics of Dutch health care: its hybrid structure, the evolving health care politics arena, and the consensual style in health care politics. These form an institutional context in which the politics of health care takes place. The second part analyses political decision making in central areas of health policymaking. The chapter ends with a brief analysis of the impact of health care politics on voting behaviour and a sketch of some research themes for future political research.
Dutch Foreign Policy between Domestic and International Pressures
Authors: Verbeek Bertjan 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The foreign policy process in the Netherlands has become increasingly domesticized. Globalization and European integration have intensified the transnational character of ever more policy domains. This has increased the visibility of foreign policy as well as the number of stakeholders involved in it. The end of the Cold War ended the until then dominant narrative guiding foreign policy. Combined, these developments made post-Cold War policymakers face a further politicization of foreign policy, as testified by the role that foreign policy plays in causing governmental crises and individual resignations of office holders in the twenty-first century. This constrains the freedom of manoeuvre of the Netherlands at the global level, where the country has persistently sought to exercise more influence than can be expected from a small state. Indeed, it aspires to be recognized as a middle power in specific niches by other states in the international system. This accounts for its investment in both hard and soft power capabilities. Threats to its global reputation (being branded as a tax haven, or reluctant to confront its colonial and racist past) have been an incentive to adjust specific domestic policies. At present, theory-driven explanations do not offer a comprehensive account of contemporary Dutch foreign policy.
BRASSINAZOLE RESISTANT 1 delays photoperiodic flowering by repressing CONSTANS transcription

Abstract
Photoperiodic regulation of flowering time plays a critical role in plant reproductive success and crop yield. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the expression of the CONSTANS (CO) gene is closely regulated by day length and is modulated by both environmental and endogenous cues for precise control over flowering. Our findings reveal that the phytohormone brassinosteroid (BR) pathway represses flowering by inhibiting the expression of both CO and Flowering Locus T (FT). Additionally, we discovered that BRASSINAZOLE RESISTANT 1 (BZR1), a key transcription factor in the BR signaling pathway, directly binds to the proximal promoter region of CO to suppress its transcription during long days, thus regulating photoperiodic flowering. Genetically, BZR1 acts upstream of CO and FT to delay floral initiation depending on day length. Overall, our study reveals how a molecular module comprising BZR1-CO integrates signals from BR as well as photoperiodicity for appropriate adjustment of flowering time.
Decay of CP-Even Higgs H → hγγ in the Two-Higgs Doublet Model: One-Loop Analytic Results and Ward Identity Checks
Authors: Phan Khiem Hong , Tran Dzung Tri , Nguyen Thanh Huy 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The first analytic expressions for one-loop-induced contributions for the decay of CP-even Higgs H → hγγ, with $h$ being the Standard-Model-like Higgs boson within the framework of the two-Higgs doublet model, are presented in this paper. The one-loop form factors for the decay processes are written in terms of scalar one-loop Passarino–Veltman functions following the input notations of both the LoopTools and Collier packages. Subsequently, physical results for the decay processes can be generated numerically by using one of the above-mentioned packages. The analytic expressions shown in this paper are verified by several numerical checks, e.g. the ultraviolet and infrared finiteness of the one-loop amplitude. Furthermore, the amplitude satisfies the Ward identity due to on-shell photons in final states. The identity is also checked numerically in this work. In phenomenological studies, the differential decay rates for H → hγγ as a function of the invariant mass of two photons in final states are first examined in the parameter space of the two-Higgs doublet models.
The non-commuting, non-generating graph of a finite simple group
Authors: Freedman Saul D 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT
Let G be a group such that $G/Z(G)$ is finite and simple. The non-commuting, non-generating graph$\Xi(G)$ of G has vertex set $G \backslash Z(G)$, with edges corresponding to pairs of elements that do not commute and do not generate G. Complementing our previous investigation of this graph for non-simple groups, we show that $\Xi(G)$ is connected with diameter at most 5, with smaller upper bounds for certain families of groups. Using these bounds, we then prove that when G is simple, the diameter of the complement of the generating graph of G has a tight upper bound of 4, with the exception of at most one group with a graph of diameter 5.
Gastrointestinal parasitic worm burdens and efficacy of deworming practices in growing beef cattle grazing California pastures
Authors: Maier Gabriele U , Torcal Phillip , Stackhouse Jeffery , Davy Josh S , Forero Larry C , Snell Laura , Woodmansee Grace 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Treatment for enteric parasites is a common practice in beef cattle, yet little data is known about the prevalence of nematode and trematode parasite infections in beef cattle in the western United States. Likewise, the data on the efficacy of deworming practices and the presence of anthelmintic resistance (AR) of these parasites in this region is sparse. The current study collected evidence for the presence of nematode and trematode parasites in 18 herds of young beef cattle grazing either dryland or irrigated pasture in northern California as well as on efficacy and evidence of AR in a subgroup of herds. We found variable levels of fecal egg counts (FEC) ranging from 6 to 322 for the arithmetic mean eggs per gram (EPG) in the tested cattle groups. There was no difference in the number of EPG between herds grazing dryland or irrigated pasture (P = 0.54). We did not find any evidence for liver flukes or lungworms in the tested cattle. There was evidence of AR to macrocyclic lactones in all eight herds where fecal egg count reduction tests (FECRT) were performed, however due to types and execution of treatment applications and sample sizes, these results need to be interpreted with caution. The most common genus of third stage larvae in coproculture testing before treatment was Cooperia (between 55% and 98% of larvae) as well as post treatment for those herds undergoing FECRT (between 50% and 96%). Ostertagia was the second most frequent genus of larvae found in coproculture testing making up between 0% and 27% of larvae before treatment and between 5% and 50% of larvae after treatment. Anthelmintic practices in beef herds in northern California and likely in a larger geographic area in the western United States need to be updated in order to continue effective use of the currently available drugs.
The History and Advancement of Light, Lasers, and Energy-Based Devices in Dermatologic Surgery
Authors: Dover Jeffrey S. , Liu Chaocheng , Watchmaker Jacqueline , Wang Jordan V. , Geronemus Roy G. , Arndt Kenneth A. , Anderson R. Rox 
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND
From the theoretical foundations of laser and energy-based applications for the skin to the development of advanced medical devices, the field of dermatologic surgery has undergone transformative changes.

OBJECTIVE
To review the scientific and clinical advancement of laser and energy-based therapies within dermatologic surgery.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
A literature search was conducted to identify important scientific advancements and landmark studies on light, laser, and energy-based devices within the field of dermatologic surgery.

RESULTS
Since the introduction of selective photothermolysis principles in the 1980s, numerous laser and energy-based devices have been developed to effectively treat vascular lesions, target pigmentation, remove tattoos, rejuvenate the skin, and remove hair. Beyond aesthetic applications, photodynamic therapy was introduced to treat various neoplastic and inflammatory conditions. Lasers have also been employed to enhance transcutaneous drug delivery, and new lasers continue to emerge for treating common inflammatory conditions, such as acne. These innovations have contributed to a paradigm shift toward safe and effective, but less invasive, procedure-based treatment in addressing medical and aesthetic concerns in dermatology.

CONCLUSION
Dermatologists have consistently led the way in the continuous development and innovative application of laser and energy-based devices to effectively address a variety of skin conditions.
