The Nebuly Coat (1903), by J. Meade Falkner, is a suspense novel which tells of the experiences of a young architect, Edward Westray, who is sent to the remote town of Cullerne to supervise restoration work on Cullerne Minster. He finds himself caught up in Cullerne life, and hears rumours about a mystery surrounding the claim to the title of Lord Blandamer, whose coat of arms in the Minster's great transept window is the nebuly coat of the title. When the new Lord Blandamer arrives, promising to pay all the costs of the restoration, Westray suspects that the new lord is not what he seems. The Nebuly Coat includes elements that were central interests in Falkner's life, church architecture and heraldry. The massive Romanesque arches of Cullerne Minster recall those of Durham Cathedral which Falkner was familiar with through his work as Honorary Librarian to the Dean and Chapter as well as viewing it from his house on Palace Green.

Bridging cellular membranes is a key step in the pathogenic action of both binary and pore-forming bacterial toxins. The former use their translocation domains, containing various structural motifs, to ensure efficient delivery of the toxic component into the host cell, while the latter act on the cellular membrane itself. In either case, the integrity of the membrane is compromised via targeted protein–lipid and protein–protein interactions triggered by specific signals, such as proteolytic cleavage or endosomal acidification.This Special Issue presents recent advances in characterizing functional, structural and thermodynamic aspects of the conformational switching and membrane interactions involved in the cellular entry of bacterial protein toxins. Deciphering the physicochemical principles underlying these processes is also a prerequisite for the use of protein engineering to develop toxin-based molecular vehicles capable of targeted delivery of therapeutic agents to tumors and other diseased tissues.

Shakespeare’s As You Like It is a play without a theme. Instead, it repeatedly poses one question in a variety of forms: What if the world were other than it is? As You Like It is a set of experiments in which its characters conditionally change an aspect of their world and see what comes of it: what if I were not a girl but a man? What if I were not a duke, but someone like Robin Hood? What if I were a deer? “What would you say to me now an [that is, “if”] I were your very, very Rosalind?” (4.1.64-65). “Much virtue in ‘if’,” as one of its characters declares near the play’s end; ‘if’ is virtual. It releases force even if the force is not that of what is the case. Change one thing in the world, the play asks, and how else does everything change?In As You Like It, unlike Shakespeare’s other plays, the characters themselves are both experiment and experimenters. They assert something about the world that they know is not the case, and their fictions let them explore what would happen if it were—and not only if it were, but something, not otherwise apparent, about how it is now. What is as you like it? What is it that you, or anyone, really likes or wants? The characters of As You Like It stand in ‘if’ as at a hinge of thought and action, conscious that they desire something, not wholly capable of getting it, not even able to say what it is. Their awareness that the world could be different than it is, is a step towards making it something that they wish it to be, and towards learning what that would be.Their audiences are not exempt. As You Like It doesn’t tell us that it knows what we like and will give it to us. It pushes us to find out. Over the course of the play, characters and audiences experiment with other ways the world could be and come closer to learning what they do like, and how their world can be more as they like it. By exploring ways the world can be different than it is, the characters of As You Like It strive to make the world a place in which they can be at home, not as a utopia—Arden may promise that, but certainly doesn’t fulfill it—but as an ongoing work of living. We get a sense at the play’s end not that things have been settled once and for all, but that the characters have taken time to breathe—to live in their new situations until they discover better ones, or until they discover newer desires.As You Like It, in other words, is a kind of essay: a set of tests or attempts to be differently in the world, and to see what happens. These essays in As If: As You Like It, originally commissioned as an introductory guide for students, actors, and admirers of the play, trace the force and virtue of some of the claims of the play that run counter to what is the case—its ‘ifs.’ABOUT THE AUTHORWilliam N. West is Associate Professor of English, Classics, and Comparative Literary Studies at Northwestern University, where he is also chair of the Department of Classics and co-editor of the journal Renaissance Drama. He is co-editor (with Helen Higbee) of Robert Weimann’s Author’s Pen and Actor’s Voice: Writing and Playing in Shakespeare’s Theatre (Cambridge, 2000) and (with Bryan Reynolds) of Rematerializing Shakespeare: Authority and Representation on the Early Modern Stage (Palgrave, 2005). In addition to his book Theatres and Encyclopedias in Early Modern Europe (2002), he has recently published articles on Romeo and Juliet’s understudies, irony and encyclopedic writing before and after the Enlightenment, Ophelia’s intertheatricality (with Gina Bloom and Anston Bosman), humanism and the resistance to theology, Shakespeare’s matter, and conversation as a theory of knowledge in Browne’s Pseudodoxia. His work has been supported by grants from the NEH and the Beinecke, Folger, Huntington, and Newberry libraries. Current research projects and interests include understanding and confusion in the Elizabethan playhouses, humanism and inhumanism in the philology of Angelo Poliziano, and a Renaissance prehistory of aesthetics.

"At the time of this book’s publication, almost seven years have passed since the dramatic and brutal terror attacks at Norway’s Government Headquarters in Oslo and the island of Utøya on 22 July 2011. How have we coped during this time? Which values have been important? Have we managed to protect the ideals of democracy, openness and humanity? And not least: Who is this ""we"" that we are referring to?

This scholarly anthology includes articles from researchers associated with the project NECORE (Negotiating Values: Collective Identities and Resilience after 22 July) and other researchers whose work is closely associated with the project. They give us insights, opinions and sharp perspectives on not just 22 July, but also about Norway today, about values, identities and resilience in Norwegian society in the wake of the terror attacks. An important backdrop for the book and the project is the assertion that, as the events themselves recede into the past, it is even more important to focus on what the terror events have led to and how we can learn from them. In a world where terrorism has become an all too common part of political reality, it is crucial that we understand how we ought to think about terror, and how we as a society encounter it."

Diese Arbeit zielt darauf ab, die theoretischen Vorhersagen verschiedener Arbeitsmarktmodelle hinsichtlich der Wirkungen einer Arbeitslosenversicherung zusammenzufassen und zu überprüfen. Besonderes Augenmerk wird dabei auf die Modellierung der Ausgestaltungsmerkmale einer Arbeitslosenversicherung gelegt. Die ökonomische Theorie trifft hierzu oft nur vereinfachende Annahmen. Vor allem die zeitlichen Systemkomponenten erweisen sich jedoch neben der Höhe des Arbeitslosengeldes in allen Modellen als zentrale Elemente, die Rückwirkungen auf die Höhe der Arbeitslosigkeit haben. Ein eigens konstruierter Index zeigt abschließend im Rahmen einer deskriptiven Analyse der deutschen Arbeitslosenversicherung, daß diese zuletzt entgegen gängiger Meinung großzügiger geworden ist.

Angesichts der Erkenntnis, daß trotz eines insgesamt gestiegenen Umweltbewußtseins das Kaufverhalten vieler Konsumenten nur wenig auf die Lösung der Umweltprobleme ausgerichtet ist, kommt der Förderung umweltbewußten Kaufverhaltens als marketing- und verbraucherpolitische Aufgabe besondere Bedeutung zu. Grundlegende Voraussetzung ist hierbei die Kenntnis der verhaltensbestimmenden Einflußgrößen, die den Zusammenhang zwischen Umweltbewußtsein und Kaufverhalten determinieren. Die vorliegende Arbeit hat sich daher zum Ziel gesetzt, einen Erklärungsansatz umweltbewußten Kaufverhaltens zu entwickeln und hierbei den Einflußgrößen in der Kaufsituation besondere Aufmerksamkeit zu widmen. Nach der theoriegeleiteten Diskussion zur Auswahl und Operationalisierung relevanter Variablen erfolgt eine Überprüfung des Erklärungsansatzes auf der Basis einer empirischen Untersuchung von 185 Konsumenten. Darüber hinaus werden marketing- und verbraucherpolitische Implikationen hergeleitet.

All the Feels / Tous les sens presents research into emotion and cognition in Canadian, Indigenous, and Québécois writings in English or French. Affect is both internal and external, private and public; with its fluid boundaries, it represents a productive dimension for literary analysis. The emerging field of affect studies makes vital claims about ethical impulses, social justice, and critical resistance, and thus much is at stake when we adopt affective reading practices. The contributors ask what we can learn from reading contemporary literatures through this lens. Unique and timely, readable and teachable, this collection is a welcome resource for scholars of literature, feminism, philosophy, and transnational studies as well as anyone who yearns to imagine the world differently.
