Spirals of Care: Resisting Paternalism and Palliation in Chronic Homeless Services

open access: yesSociological Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines how organizationally supported resistance to paternalism and palliation unfolds on the frontlines of poverty governance. Sociological research shows that poverty in the United States is often managed through paternalist behavioral control or palliative minimalism.

Beyond Deflection: Accountability Frames in Opinion Columns*

open access: yesSociological Inquiry, EarlyView.
The ways in which public officials, citizens, and social institutions are held accountable for social problems, including police‐involved killings in the United States, reflect changing attributions of responsibility. Although news reports now rely less on official police narratives and less often stereotype police as heroes and victims as villains ...

Beyond Groups? Consociational Culture and the Representation of Cross‐Segmental Interests

open access: yesSwiss Political Science Review, EarlyView.
Abstract In deeply divided societies, consociational power‐sharing ensures representation for ethnonational groups but raises questions about cross‐segmental interests. This paper explores “consociational culture,” arguing that consociational systems create a form of political culture which incentivises the use of group‐based categories and identities ...

Computational modelling of cardiac fibroblast signalling reveals a key role for Ca2+ in driving atrial fibrillation‐associated fibrosis

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A pre‐existing fibroblast signalling model was enhanced by integrating atrial‐specific components and reactions linked to atrial fibrosis and atrial fibrillation (AF). The analysis highlights the central role of Ca2⁺ signalling in driving profibrotic responses to AF‐relevant stimuli, angiotensin‐II and transforming growth factor ...

Energetic microdomains and the vascular control of neuronal and muscle excitability: Toward a unified model

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The capillary–mitochondria–ion channel (CMIC) axis scales structural resources to match functional workload. (Left) In settings of restricted energetic capacity (e.g. cortical neurons), sparse capillary networks and modest mitochondrial pools set a lower energetic ceiling, sufficient to support phasic, low‐workload excitability.
