    Abstract This essay examines the ways in which the age of revolutions expanded the repertoire of political ideas and identities available to new and old political subjects. It questions the traditional narrative that replaces a model of old regimes and empires with a new one of imagined unitary nation-states. Instead, it argues that the nature of the political crisis of the Iberian empires gave rise to a reinvention of familiar categories, like monarchy and empire, and sired a wider range of new ones that did not fit the national mold.

    Abstract This article uses a 1903 text by the Irish cookery instructress Kathleen Ferguson to examine the intersections between food, medicine and domestic work. Sick Room Cookery, and numerous texts like it, drew on traditions of domestic medicine and Anglo-Irish gastronomy while also seeking to establish female expertise informed by modern science and medicine. Placing the text in its broader cultural context, the article examines how it fit into the tradition of domestic medicine and the emerging profession of domestic science. Giving equal weight to the history of food and of medicine, and seeing each as shaped by historical context, help us to see the practice of feeding the sick in a different way.

    Abstract Podcast Video (MP4 420470 KB) Wet age-related macular degeneration (wAMD) is an advanced stage of AMD characterised by the rapid onset of acute vision loss. Vision loss limits daily activities, such as reading and driving, and therefore has a notable impact on quality of life. However, there is insufficient research focusing on the patient perspective on wAMD and its effect on quality of life. In this podcast article, a person with wAMD and an expert physician discuss the patient experience of wAMD diagnosis, disease progression and treatment, and the most important aspects of quality of life that should be preserved or improved. wAMD can progress extremely quickly, but diagnostic guidelines vary by region, so the words 'macular degeneration' are not heard by some patients until long after vision has been lost, if at all. The potential impact of wAMD on a person's life may never be explained, leading some people to rely on their own research. Therefore, patients may be unprepared for the subsequent effect on their lives and careers. The support of family is critical for maintaining quality of life. Working with a physician who understands an individual's communication preferences is also important for ensuring treatment adherence and maintaining good mental health; treatment for wAMD is typically administered via intravitreal injection, which may be alarming to patients who have not been informed well by healthcare professionals. Adapting to vision loss is key to maintaining quality of life, and magnification is especially useful for patients with wAMD. Furthermore, modern technology, such as smart phones and smart watches, greatly improves the accessibility of daily tasks. However, what is most important to patients is access to information about their disease-whether via an advocate, self-led research or a healthcare professional. Crucially, physicians must ensure that they speak to their patients in an informative but accessible manner.

    Abstract Forensic DNA analysis is among the most well-recognized and well-developed forensic disciplines. The field's use of DNA markers known as short tandem repeats (STRs) offer a robust means of discriminating individuals while also introducing challenges to the analysis. One of these challenges, stutter, is the result of a non-biological artifact introduced during PCR. The formation and amplification of these stutter products can occur at rates as high as 15-20% of the parent allele. The challenge inherent in this process is differentiating stutter artifacts from true alleles, particularly in the presence of a minor contributor. Traditionally, DNA profiles are obtained using capillary electrophoresis (CE), where amplified DNA fragments are separated by size, not sequence, and the identification of stutter is performed on a locus-specific level. The use of CE-based fragment data rather than sequence-based data, has limited the community's understanding of the precise behavior of stutter. Massively parallel sequencing (MPS) data provides an opportunity to better characterize stutter, permitting a more accurate means of detecting both size- or longest uninterrupted stretch (LUS)-based stutter but also allele and motif-specific stutter characteristics. This study sheds light on the value of characterizing motif- and allele-specific stutter, including non-LUS stutter, when using MPS methods. Analysis and characterization of stutter sequences was performed using data generated from 539 samples amplified with the ForenSeq and PowerSeq 46GY library preparation kit and sequenced on the Illumina MiSeq FGx. Assessment of non-LUS stutter begins with calculating stutter rates for all potential stutter products at a given locus (and allele), additionally, the occurrence of these discrete stutter products were quantified. Results show that although the LUS sequence stutters at a higher rate than non-LUS motifs, the non-LUS stutter products do occur at detectable levels and potentially influence sequence-based mixture analysis. The data indicate that the stutter from one motif or allele can be distinguished from another motif or allele based on their unique stutter rates; however, the number of stutter products from each motif or allele may similarly make up the overall pool of stutter products. Motif- and allele-specific stutter models provide the most comprehensive analysis of sequence stutter rates and provide the ability to differentiate stutter sequences more accurately from true allele stutter. This information provides a foundation for including the characterization of non-LUS stutter products when analyzing DNA profiles, specifically mixtures with potential low-level contributors.

    Abstract "Worldly Philosopher chronicles the times and writings of Albert O. Hirschman, one of the twentieth century's most original and provocative thinkers. In this gripping biography, Jeremy Adelman tells the story of a man shaped by modern horrors and hopes, a worldly intellectual who fought for and wrote in defense of the values of tolerance and change. Born in Berlin in 1915, Hirschman grew up amid the promise and turmoil of the Weimar era, but fled Germany when the Nazis seized power in 1933. Amid hardship and personal tragedy, he volunteered to fight against the fascists in Spain and helped many of Europe's leading artists and intellectuals escape to America after France fell to Hitler. His intellectual career led him to Paris, London, and Trieste, and to academic appointments at Columbia, Harvard, and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. He was an influential adviser to governments in the United States, Latin America, and Europe, as well as major foundations and the World Bank. Along the way, he wrote some of the most innovative and important books in economics, the social sciences, and the history of ideas. Throughout, he remained committed to his belief that reform is possible, even in the darkest of times. This is the first major account of Hirschman's remarkable life, and a tale of the twentieth century as seen through the story of an astute and passionate observer. Adelman's riveting narrative traces how Hirschman's personal experiences shaped his unique intellectual perspective, and how his enduring legacy is one of hope, open-mindedness, and practical idealism"--

    Abstract More than other Atlantic societies, Latin America is shackled to its past. This collection is an exploration of the binding historical legacies--the making of slavery, patrimonial absolutist states, backward agriculture and the imprint of the Enlightenment--with which Latin America continues to grapple.Leading writers and scholars reflect on how this heritage emerged from colonial institutions and how historians have tackled these legacies over the years, suggesting that these deep encumbrances are why the region has failed to live up to liberal-capitalist expectations. They also invite discus

    Abstract Discovered in the nineteenth century by the Canadian Geological Survey, the Eozoön canadense fossil, or 'dawn animal of Canada', created a sensation in the geological community. Only a few initially challenged its status as a fossil organism, including two professors in the remote Irish town of Galway. These men claimed that Eozoön was nothing more than a mineral formation and did not represent the discovery of the primordial organism. Supporters of Eozoön closed ranks and a heated debate soon broke out in a range of periodicals. The story of Eozoön lays bare the construction of scientific credibility, a process that was threatened in the second half of the nineteenth century by the proliferation of popular science.
