Let the People In: Bouncers and the Ordering of the Public

Pietro Saitta

This article explores the complex role of bouncers in Italian nightclubs. It argues that their actions reveal a profound intertwining of ideology and social practices, particularly the tacit acceptance of inequality as a structural component of contemporary social relationships. Bouncers serve as critical mediators between venue “designers” and an audience whose presence is essential for the “show,” regardless of their characteristics. The study highlights how discretion operates in a dual sense: the bouncer's arbi …

Examining Support Received and Changes to Spousal Caregivers’ Social Convoys Across the Dementia Disease Trajectory

R. Amanda Cooper, Karen Shalev, Lily G. Gorman, Ida Ghaemmaghamfarahani, Chizobam Nweke

The social convoy model suggests that an individual’s support network includes their closest relational connections and more distal relationships that provide support. These networks, called social convoys, shift across the lifespan but might also change during stressful life events such as providing care for a person with dementia. We conducted retrospective interviews with 18 dementia spousal caregivers to examine changes in their social convoys while caring for their partners. We found that at dementia onset, ca …

Right-Wing Shift? Evaluating Authoritarianism, Social Dominance, and System Justification Among People of Color Before and After the 2024 Election

Emily Ortiz, Ramona Alhambra, Andrew M. Engelhardt, Efrén Pérez

Abstract Non-trivial shares of people of color (PoC) have long identified as Republicans, and many of them helped cement Donald Trump’s 2024 re-election. How durable was this shift toward the political right among some PoC? We test two claims in this brief research note. First, consistent with polarization literature, we claim that partisanship primed three conservative postures among Republican PoC during the 2024 campaign: authoritarianism, social dominance orientation, and system justification. Second, aligning …

Aging‐Related Myocardial Susceptibility Lowers Cardiac Tolerance to Chronic Intermittent Hypoxia Through Dynamin‐Related Protein 1‐Associated Mitochondrial Vulnerability

Yinghui Su, Yuyang Miao, Jin Tan, Feng Wang, Qiang Zhang

ABSTRACT Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH), a cardinal pathophysiological feature of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), repeatedly exposes the heart to hypoxia‐reoxygenation stress. The cardiac outcome of CIH, however, may depend on the biological state of the target myocardium. Here, we investigated whether a pre‐existing aging‐related myocardial susceptibility lowers the tolerance threshold for CIH‐induced injury and whether Dynamin‐related protein 1 (Drp1) contributes to the enhanced vulnerability of senescence‐lik …
