A Life Plan Principle of Voting RightsAbstractWho should have a right to participate in a polity's decision-making? Although the answers to this 'boundary problem' in democratic theory remain controversial, it is widely believed that the enfranchisement of tourists and children is unacceptable. Yet, the two most prominent inclusion principles in the literature – Robert Goodin's 'all (possibly) affected interests'-principle and the 'all subjected to law'-principle – both enfranchise those groups....

Exogenous abscisic acid and root volatiles increase sporulation of Rhizophagus irregularis DAOM 197198 in asymbiotic and pre-symbiotic statusAbstractSeveral studies have demonstrated asymbiotic growth and development of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, although AM fungi are regarded as obligately symbiotic root-inhabiting fungi. Phytohormones, root exudates, and volatiles are important factors regulating the host-AM fungi interaction. However, the effects of phytohormones, root exudates, and volatiles...

Cognitive Impairment in Patients with Bipolar Disorder: Impact of Pharmacological TreatmentAbstractBipolar disorder is an illness characterised by periods of elated and depressed mood. These mood episodes are associated with changes in cognitive function and there is evidence to suggest that cognitive dysfunction persists during euthymia. The extent to which this is a function of the illness or a result of treatment is less clear. In this narrative review, we explore the impact of commonly used medications...

Genetic mapping of a locus controlling the intergeneric hybridization barrier between apple and pearAbstractHybridizations involving different species are often hindered because of incompatibility reactions. Although these reproductive barriers have been observed in many plant species, the underlying mechanisms remain to be comprehensively elucidated.

Redirecting T cells to treat solid pediatric cancersAbstractThe capacity of single-agent therapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors to control solid cancers by unleashing preexisting local antitumor T cell responses has renewed interest in the broader use of T cells as anticancer therapeutics. At the same time, durable responses of refractory B-lineage malignancies to chimeric-receptor engineered T cells illustrate that T cells can be effectively redirected to cancers that lack preexisting tumor antigen-specific...

The Hahnemann University Hospital Closure and What Matters: A Department Chair's PerspectiveThe closure of Hahnemann University Hospital (HUH), which was announced on June 26, 2019, resulted in the most significant graduate medical education displacement in history, sending 570 residents to new institutions within a month of the announcement. Over 2,000 physicians, nurses, and staff lost their jobs. While seemingly predictable in retrospect, the closure came as a cataclysmic event to all involved....
