In recent years the American public has witnessed several hard-fought battles over nominees to the U.S. Supreme Court. In these heated confirmation fights, candidates' legal and political ...philosophies have been subject to intense scrutiny and debate.Citizens, Courts, and Confirmationsexamines one such fight--over the nomination of Samuel Alito--to discover how and why people formed opinions about the nominee, and to determine how the confirmation process shaped perceptions of the Supreme Court's legitimacy.
Drawing on a nationally representative survey, James Gibson and Gregory Caldeira use the Alito confirmation fight as a window into public attitudes about the nation's highest court. They find that Americans know far more about the Supreme Court than many realize, that the Court enjoys a great deal of legitimacy among the American people, that attitudes toward the Court as an institution generally do not suffer from partisan or ideological polarization, and that public knowledge enhances the legitimacy accorded the Court. Yet the authors demonstrate that partisan and ideological infighting that treats the Court as just another political institution undermines the considerable public support the institution currently enjoys, and that politicized confirmation battles pose a grave threat to the basic legitimacy of the Supreme Court.
Human blood is a self-regenerating lipid-rich biological fluid that is routinely collected in hospital settings. The inventory of lipid molecules found in blood plasma (plasma lipidome) offers ...insights into individual metabolism and physiology in health and disease. Disturbances in the plasma lipidome also occur in conditions that are not directly linked to lipid metabolism; therefore, plasma lipidomics based on MS is an emerging tool in an array of clinical diagnostics and disease management. However, challenges exist in the translation of such lipidomic data to clinical applications. These relate to the reproducibility, accuracy, and precision of lipid quantitation, study design, sample handling, and data sharing. This position paper emerged from a workshop that initiated a community-led process to elaborate and define a set of generally accepted guidelines for quantitative MS-based lipidomics of blood plasma or serum, with harmonization of data acquired on different instrumentation platforms across independent laboratories as an ultimate goal. We hope that other fields may benefit from and follow such a precedent.

1945 yılından itibaren tek parti sisteminin popülaritesini kaybetmesi üzerine Türkiye’de çok partili demokrasi yolunda hızlı adımlar atılmaya başlandı. Demokrasinin en önemli öğelerinden biri sayılan ...çok partili siyasal hayat, Türkiye’nin politik yaşantısında önemli değişmelere neden olduğu gibi taşradaki siyasi hayatı da ciddi bir şekilde etkiledi. Çok partili yaşama geçişle birlikte, siyasî partilerin Doğu ve Güneydoğu Anadolu’ya yönelik politik faaliyetleri de arttı. Kuruluşunun akabinde DP’nin tüm Anadolu’da teşkilatlanmaya başlaması, CHP’nin, Şeyh Sait ve Ağrı İsyanları sonrasında daralttığı veya kapattığı Doğu vilayetlerindeki teşkilatlarını yeniden genişletmek amacıyla yapılandırma çalışmalarını başlatmasına sebebiyet verdi. Türkiye’nin çok partili hayata geçmesi, tüm memlekette olduğu gibi Van’daki siyasi hayata da etki ederek yeni bir dinamizm getirdi. DP, kuruluşunun hemen ardından, 1946 yılında Van’da teşkilatlanmaya başlarken, CHP gibi 23 yıllık bir parti Van’daki teşkilatını bu tarihten 2 yıl önce, yani 1944’te kurdu. Bu çalışmada, CHP ve DP’nin Van ilindeki teşkilatlanmaları ve iki parti arasındaki çekişmenin Van’daki 1950 seçimlerine yansımaları irdelenmiştir.

Slender and yet panoramic in scope, historical and yet relevant to current-day concerns, Laura Esquivel's Like Water for Chocolate has provoked from the outset a divergent range of critical opinions. ...The essays in A Recipe for Discourse: Perspectives on Like Water for Chocolate represent the novel's problematic nature in their many diverse approaches, perspectives that are certain to awaken in the reader new ways of approaching the text while challenging old ones. This volume's 'dialogue' format, in which essays are grouped thematically, is particularly effective in presenting such a diverse range of viewpoints. The reader will find herein lively discussion on LWFC as it relates to such themes as gastronomy, superstition, mythology, folklore, the Mexican Revolution, magical realism, female identity, alteration, and matriarchy/ patriarchy. It is the editor's hope that a diverse readership, from undergraduate students to seasoned scholars, will find this volume engaging and enlightening.
