In Democracy in Modern Iran, Ali Mirsepassi maintains that it is possible, demonstrating that Islam is not inherently hostile to the idea of democracy. Rather, he provides new perspective on how such a political and social transformation could take place, arguing that the key to understanding the integration of Islam and democracy lies in concrete social institutions rather than pre-conceived ideas, the every day experiences rather than abstract theories. Mirsepassi, an Iranian native, provides a rare inside look into the country, offering a deep understanding of how Islamic countries like Iran and Iraq can and will embrace democracy. Democracy in Modern Iran challenges readers to think about Islam and democracy critically and in a far more nuanced way than is done in black-and-white dichotomies of Islam vs. Democracy, or Iran vs. the West. This essential volume contributes important insights to current discussions, creating a more complex conception of modernity in the Eastern world and, with it, Mirsepassi offers to a broad Western audience a more accurate, less clichéd vision of Iran?s political reality. 606 $aDemocracy$zIran 606 $aPolitics and culture$zIran 606 $aIslam and politics$zIran 606 $aIslam and secularism$zIran 606 $aIslamic modernism$zIran 607 $aIran$xPolitics and government 607 $aIran$xIntellectual life 610 $aIran. 610 $aIslam. 610 $aIslamic. 610 $aMirsepassi. 610 $aModern. 610 $ademocracy. 610 $ademonstrating. 610 $aembrace. 610 $ahostile. 610 $aidea. 610 $ainherently. 610 $amaintains. 610 $apossible. 610 $asocieties. 610 $athat. 615 0$aDemocracy 615 0$aPolitics and culture 615 0$aIslam and politics 615 0$aIslam and secularism 615 0$aIslamic modernism 676 $a320.955 700 $aMirsepassi$b Ali$0712788 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787964803321 996 $aDemocracy in modern Iran$93849463 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03817nam 2201117z- 450 001 9910557134903321 005 20210501 035 $a(CKB)5400000000040704 035 $a(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/68453 035 $a(oapen)doab68453 035 $a(EXLCZ)995400000000040704 100 $a20202105d2021 |y 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmn|---annan 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aOxidative Stress in Diabetic Retinopathy 210 $aBasel, Switzerland$cMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute$d2021 215 $a1 online resource (322 p.) 311 08$a3-0365-0448-6 311 08$a3-0365-0449-4 330 $aThe combination of an increasing prevalence of diabetes and the aging of populations enables the appearance of a greater number of associated complications such as diabetic retinopathy. Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of preventable vision loss in working-age adults. The objective of this Special Issue is to highlight the existing evidence regarding the relationship between oxidative stress and low-grade chronic inflammation induced by hyperglycemia with the development and progression of diabetic retinopathy, with an emphasis on the importance of early diagnosis and the use of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory approaches to prevent or delay the harmful effects of diabetes on retinal tissue. 606 $aMedicine$2bicssc 610 $aaging 610 $aangiogenesis 610 $aantioxidant 610 $aantioxidants 610 $aapoptosis 610 $aaqueous humor 610 $aascorbic acid 610 $aastaxanthin 610 $abiomarkers 610 $abiomarkers of diabetic retinopathy 610 $ablood-retinal barrier 610 $acarotenoid 610 $aCinnamomi Ramulus 610 $aCPA4-1 610 $acyclooxygenase 610 $aCytochrome P450 610 $adb/db mice 610 $adiabetes mellitus 610 $adiabetic retinopathy 610 $adiabetic retinopathy (DR) 610 $adocosahexaenoic acid (DHA) 610 $aeicosanoids 610 $aeicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) 610 $aepiretinal membrane 610 $aextracellular vesicles 610 $afenofibrate 610 $afree radicals 610 $aGLP-1 610 $aglycation 610 $aglyoxalase 610 $aHDAC6 610 $ahigh-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) 610 $ahuman retina 610 $ahyperglycemia 610 $ainflammation 610 $ainflammatory pathways 610 $ainternal limiting membrane 610 $alipoxygenase 610 $amacular hole 610 $ametabolic memory 610 $amiRNA 610 $amitochondria 610 $an/a 610 $anovel therapies 610 $aNrf2 610 $aoccludin 610 $aoxidative stress 610 $aPaeoniae Radix 610 $aphotoreceptor 610 $aphotoreceptor cells 610 $aPI3K 610 $aproliferative diabetic retinopathy 610 $areactive oxygen species 610 $aredox 610 $aretinal disease 610 $aretinal endothelial cell senescence 610 $aretinal endothelial cells 610 $aretinal pigment epithelium 610 $asuperoxide dismutase 610 $atear film 610 $athioredoxin 610 $atubastatin A 610 $avitamin D 610 $avitreoretinal surgery 610 $avitreous humor 615 7$aMedicine 700 $aOrtega$b A?ngel Luis$4edt$01294143 702 $aOrtega$b A?ngel Luis$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557134903321 996 $aOxidative Stress in Diabetic Retinopathy$93022924 997 $aUNINA
