Functional coexistence (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/pech.12523) refers to a pragmatic relationship of mutual non-recognition, sustained in the absence of physical violence. As contributors to the first book (https://www.routledge.com/Functional-Coexistence-in-Socio-Political-Conflict-Enabling-Social-Change-Across-Decades/Arai-Tadevosyan/p/book/9781032702599?srsltid=AfmBOoqq5I_NUUae8p6GXCCyKNhjj_erJ74H_Jdsy7HbZmSMqKv48aY4) on this topic, a team of peacebuilding scholar-practitioners will discuss the rationale and implications of functional coexistence, including case studies and its potential for practical conflict intervention. By bridging theory with evidence and vision with practice, the panelists provide guideposts for sustained conflict intervention, offer examples of peace potential within the context of functional coexistence, and identify common pathways to change. Rather than losing hope based on traditional expectations of conflict resolution and reconciliation, this pioneering study of conflict non-resolution demonstrates the power of tenacious pragmatism, strategically informed by a decades-long historical perspective on change. MODERATOR: Margarita Tadevosyan (George Mason University). PANELISTS: Tatsushi Arai (Kent State University), SungYong Lee (Soka University), Roger Mac Ginty (Durham University), and Jefferey Helsing (George Mason University).

John Reinfelder Rutgers UniversityPathways of extracellular electron transfer in iron- and manganese–reducing bacteria  How metal-reducing bacteria catalyze extracellular electron transfer (EET) under electron acceptor-limited conditions is currently debated. We found that the iron and manganese-reducing bacterium Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 produces soluble extracellular organic compounds to catalyze the transfer of electrons to Fe(III). Spectral, electrochemical and proteomic characterization of these compounds indicate the presence of flavins and c-type cytochromes. Results of a kinetic model of electron transfer show that indirect EET via soluble cytochromes and flavins is much faster than direct EET via cell-bound cytochromes. For anaerobes lacking outer-membrane cytochromes, EET poses a special challenge. In S. oneidensis strains lacking outer-membrane cytochromes, the lipophilic phenoxazine electron shuttle resorufin restored biocurrent generation to levels nearly equivalent to that of wild type cells. Growth and biocurrent generation by other mutants show that the lipophilic electron shuttle facilitates electron transfer directly from inner membrane and periplasmic proteins. Our results suggest that lipophilic components of natural organic matter may serve as electron shuttles for metal-reducing Gram-negative anaerobes that lack outer membrane cytochromes as well as Gram-positive microorganisms not normally considered major metal-reducing organisms in marine and freshwater sediments.Host: Senjie LinTime & Date: 11:00 am, Friday, January 31, 2025Request Seminar InformationCancellation & Additional Seminar Details (https://marinesciences.uconn.edu/seminar/seminar1253/)  If you are an individual with a disability and need accommodations, please contact 860-405-9152 (tel:+18604059152) or email marinesciencesseminars@uconn.edu (mailto:marinesciencesseminars@uconn.edu).

This contributed volume features high-quality contributions by prominent or up-and-coming philosophers who critically examine many aspects of Lycan's work; it also contains an essay by Lycan responding to these contributions. In this way, not only is the importance of William Lycan's work appreciated, it is also made accessible for further research. The book is also suitable for teaching purposes at universities.
