-abelian quotients of -angulated categories
Let be a triangulated category. If is a cluster tilting
object and is the ideal of morphisms factoring
through an object of , then the quotient category
is abelian. This is an important result of cluster theory,
due to Keller-Reiten and K\"{o}nig-Zhu. More general conditions which imply
that is abelian were determined by Grimeland and the first
author.
Now let be a suitable -angulated category for an
integer . If is a cluster tilting object in the sense of
Oppermann-Thomas and is the ideal of morphisms
factoring through an object of , then we show that
is -abelian.
The notions of -angulated and -abelian categories are due to
Geiss-Keller-Oppermann and Jasso. They are higher homological generalisations
of triangulated and abelian categories, which are recovered in the special case
. We actually show that if
is the endomorphism algebra of , then is equivalent to a
-cluster tilting subcategory of in the sense of
Iyama; this implies that is -abelian. Moreover, we show
that is a -Gorenstein algebra.
More general conditions which imply that is -abelian
will also be determined, generalising the triangulated results of Grimeland and
the first author.Comment: 19 pages. This is the final accepted version, which has been accepted

Media coverage of shifting emotional regimes: Donald Trump's angry populism
Against the backdrop of the new populism, this article takes a closer look at the role of anger in media coverage of Trump’s inauguration. The article suggests that Trump’s rise heralds a shift in prevailing ‘emotional regime’ towards what I will refer to as ‘angry populism’. Angry populism – embodied by Trump – is based on a rhetoric which seeks broad appeal through the deliberate expression of anger. Adopted as an interpretive framework in media coverage, it suggests that the anger of Trump, his supporters and his opponents is both salient and relevant to political life
Towards a typology of mediated anger: routine coverage of protest and political emotion
This article establishes the importance of studying mediated anger. It first develops a typology of mediated anger, suggesting it is performative, discursively constructed, collective, and political. It applies this typology to routine coverage of anger in UK protest coverage during a two-month time period in 2015. The analysis demonstrates that anger serves as a cause of engagement and a barometer of public feeling. It sets out a spectrum of discursive constructions of mediated anger. At one end sits rational and legitimate anger, which forms the basis for social change. Along the spectrum sits aggressive and/or disruptive anger motivated by rational and legitimate concerns. At the other end of the spectrum lies illegitimate and irrational anger. The analysis shows that protesters can be simultaneously angry and rational, peaceful and legitimate. Discourses on protest construct a commonsense theory of political motivation, whereby anger explains the desire for political engagement, but only occasionally brings about other negative emotions or actions. As such, the article contributes a more nuanced understanding of anger as a political emotion
Emotion and journalism
The era of digital journalism represents a shift in the forms of knowing – or epistemology – of journalism. This shift, I argue, has opened up new spaces for more emotional and personalized forms of expression in public discourse. In referring to digital journalism, I am interested in tracing the consequences of a particular set of developments that have occurred as a result of the “digital disruption” (Jones and Salter, 2011) engendered by the emergence of online journalism and convergence. These processes have been ongoing since the 1990s (e.g. Scott, 2005) but remain profoundly destabilizing and transformative. The changes to journalism practice that have resulted from these processes are multifarious and far-reaching, involving fundamental challenges to everything from the business model of journalism to journalism’s self-understanding and its relationships to audience

Journalism and Emotional Work
This essay introduces the special issue entitled Journalism and Emotional Work. It argues the need for a context-sensitive understanding of emotional work in journalism profession. Contributions to the issue elucidate the social context for and the social consequences of emotional work. It demonstrates that journalists' emotional work is shaped by the changes in the industry and specific contexts in which they carry out their work.Non peer reviewe
A cold complex chemistry toward the low-mass protostar B1-b: evidence for complex molecule production in ices
Gas-phase complex organic molecules have been detected toward a range of
high- and low-mass star-forming regions at abundances which cannot be explained
by any known gas-phase chemistry. Recent laboratory experiments show that UV
irradiation of CH3OH-rich ices may be an important mechanism for producing
complex molecules and releasing them into the gas-phase. To test this ice
formation scenario we mapped the B1-b dust core and nearby protostar in CH3OH
gas using the IRAM 30m telescope to identify locations of efficient non-thermal
ice desorption. We find three CH3OH abundance peaks tracing two outflows and a
quiescent region on the side of the core facing the protostar. The CH3OH gas
has a rotational temperature of ~10 K at all locations. The quiescent CH3OH
abundance peak and one outflow position were searched for complex molecules.
Narrow, 0.6-0.8 km s-1 wide, HCOOCH3 and CH3CHO lines originating in cold gas
are clearly detected, CH3OCH3 is tentatively detected and C2H5OH and HOCH2CHO
are undetected toward the quiescent core, while no complex molecular lines were
found toward the outflow. The core abundances with respect to CH3OH are ~2.3%
and 1.1% for HCOOCH3 and CH3CHO, respectively, and the upper limits are
0.7-1.1%, which is similar to most other low-mass sources. The observed complex
molecule characteristics toward B1-b and the pre-dominance of HCO-bearing
species suggest a cold ice (below 25 K, the sublimation temperature of CO)
formation pathway followed by non-thermal desorption through e.g. UV photons
traveling through outflow cavities. The observed complex gas composition
together with the lack of any evidence of warm gas-phase chemistry provide
clear evidence of efficient complex molecule formation in cold interstellar
ices.Comment: 23 pages, 7 figures, accepted for publication in Ap
The normalization of surveillance and the invisibility of digital citizenship: media debates after the Snowden revelations
Based on an analysis of newspaper and blog coverage of the Snowden revelations and their aftermath, our study demonstrates that newspapers normalize surveillance by highlighting concerns over national security and focusing on surveillance of elites, and minimize the attention given to the mass surveillance of citizens. By contrast, blogs allow more critical discussions relevant to digital citizenship, enabling debates on civil rights and privacy. This article argues that if conventional media limit debates relevant to digital citizenship, blogs may provide a space that contests and makes visible the key problems scantly evident in newspapers. We suggest research on digital citizenship in mediated debates should focus on how political subjects are silenced, as well as the emerging spaces where this silence can be broken
