Alcohol-Induced Psychosis: Beyond Korsakoff. Case report and Literature Review

IntroductionChronic consumption of alcohol has clear deleterious effects on the nervous system. Among its less-recognized consequences are subacute and chronic alcohol-induced psychotic disorders. Lasègue, Garnier, Magnan, and Michaux provided exhaustive clinical descriptions of different presentations of subacute alcoholic delusional disorder, while Kraepelin, Allamagny, and Neveu defined the characteristics of chronic alcoholic hallucinatory psychosis. Both conditions are characterized by the occurrence of hallucinations and vivid dream-like content in their delusions, along with potential emotional detachment from the symptoms. Presently, both conditions are categorized under the generic term ‘Alcohol-Induced Psychotic Disorder,’ with limited available scientific literature.ObjectivesOur goal is to bring attention to the existence of subacute and chronic alcohol-induced psychosis in individuals with long-term alcohol users.MethodsCase report using clinical records and a non-systematic literature review.ResultsA 63-year-old male, with a forty-year history of chronic alcoholism and no other prior mental health issues, was admitted in the emergency department. He conveyed vague delusional notions regarding his roommate and described vivid morning dreams in which he tried to communicate but couldn’t speak. This led him to believe his roommate harboured harmful intentions. Additionally, he mentioned that for the past two months, he had developed a telepathic connection with his sister and his deceased mother, with whom he felt he communicated without speaking. He described feeling strangement and anxiety concerning these experiences, which he firmly believed to be undeniably real. He reported being able to hear the voices of his mother and sister. He also described short-term memory problems dating back two years. He denied any other psychopathology and exhibited probable ideational and emotional impoverishment secondary to chronic alcohol consumption. Confirmation of the patient’s account was provided by his family members. The prescribed treatment included antipsychotic medication and a recommendation for alcohol abstinence.ConclusionsDescriptions of chronic and subacute alcohol-induced psychoses are found in early psychiatric textbooks but have been omitted from contemporary classifications. While their incidence is low among chronic alcohol users, they represent a severe clinical entity. These disorders are usually distinguished by the presence of delusions and vivid hallucinations characterized by dream-like content. This distinct symptomatology aids in the accurate differentiation from other psychotic disorders and clinicians should be aware of their existence.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

3D Printed Prostheses: The Path from Hype to Reality.

3D printing has an over forty-year history but has only become popular in the last fifteen years with the expiration of restrictive patents which allowed open access and unfettered innovation by a broad range of technology developers. During the last decade interest in prostheses made by 3D printing has grown in popularity. The interest in devices has followed the Gartner Hype Cycle as 3D printing companies and associated organizations have used popular claims about 3D printed prostheses to increase their own company's popularity. These claims created unrealistic expectations which outran the early-stage limitations of the technology, causing disillusion. Currently, the industry is moving beyond these limitations and the field seems to be advancing at a sustainable rate. This article provides an understanding of the history of popular misconceptions surrounding the technology. It provides a basis for separating the myth from reality in 3D printing technology so the reader can question the popular preconceived ideas and find the real value. With a greater understanding of the past, one can apply lessons to present technology use and guide the direction of future 3D printing. This paper will also discuss lessons applicable to both high and low-income countries along with providing recommendations for the future development.

Making the Environmental Humanities Consequential in “The Age of Consequences”

AbstractThis article suggests that global environmental assessments (GEAs) may be a potent means for making the environmental humanities more consequential outside universities. So far most GEAs have been led by geoscientists, with mainstream social science in support. However, there is no reason why the concept of assessment cannot be elasticated to include the concerns of interpretive social science and the humanities. Building on the forty-year history and authority of GEAs as a means to bridging the gap between the research world and the wider world, this article identifies the potential that reformatted assessments hold for more impactful work by environmental humanists. It suggests some next steps for rethinking the means and ends of assessment toward a new paradigm that bridges geoscience, mainstream social science, and humanistic thinking about the nonhuman world. This paradigm would explore the human dimensions of environmental change fully. The timing is propitious: independently GEAs are undergoing change at the very moment that the “What next?” question is being asked by many environmental humanists. This article is intended to inspire debate and, ultimately, action. It both makes the case for more humanistic GEAs and offers examples of potential work packages.

Sea lamprey control in the Great Lakes: A Tribal/First Nations Representative’s perspective

Sea lamprey control has been a dominant feature in the Great Lakes since the Great Lakes Fishery Commission (GLFC) formation in 1955. Review and recommendations on the sea lamprey control program are undertaken by a Sea Lamprey International Symposium (SLIS) held every twenty years beginning in 1979. In the forty-year history of the SLIS, this is the first paper on Indigenous perspectives in the published outputs and is an important inaugural step for the SLIS. However, one singular paper does not represent the viewpoints of the many independent Indigenous communities of the Great Lakes area. Willingness to understand the Indigenous perspective is the first step toward trust responsibility obligations and consultation with Tribes in the U.S. and engagement with First Nations in Canada. Indigenous peoples’ belief systems can include kinship ties between human and nature. In turn, this dictates respectful relationships toward all life forms. As such sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) can be considered a life form to merit respect which can be incongruent with contemporary sea lamprey control strategies. Perhaps it is time to consider future reviews of sea lamprey control within an Indigenous context and knowledge framework to assist in an equitable and sustainable future for the Great Lakes.

The Forty-year History of Revenue Management: Bibliometric Analysis

This paper presents research trends, leading publishers, influential articles, and shifting concerns in the field of Revenue Management for over forty years based on bibliometric analysis. Bibliometric data was retrieved from Web of Science core collection with a well-defined strategy. The data was processed using Network Analysis Interface for Literature Studies Project scripts. Subject-wise and year-wise research trends were presented. The shifting concerns in RM in terms of topic, method, and domain were highlighted using keyword analysis. In general, RM showed an increasing number of published papers with exponential manner every year. The research core in RM covered the three major decisions in RM including pricing, quantity control, and structural decision. It was highlighted that RM’s concern has shifted from single-firm decision to be more consumer- and competition-centric. The data showed that the needs of empirical study and more advanced quantitative methods for complex and real-time problems were urged. In addition, the adoption of RM was extended for industries with semi-flexible capacity. The top influential publishers were Decision Sciences, Operations Research, Management Science, and Management Science Manufacturing & Service Operations Management.

НЕЙРОЭПИСТЕМОЛОГИЯ КАК ОБЛАСТЬ КОГНИТИВНОЙ ФИЛОСОФИИ И ИССЛЕДОВАНИЙ ЗНАНИЯ

The article presents the results of an analysis of the concept of neuroepistemology, the history of its formation, the methods of determining its object and characteristics of possible methodological solutions. To achieve this aim, two specific objectives have been mapped out: to consider the evolution of the conception of neuroepistemology in the context of the history of science and philosophy; and to systematize the existing ideas about neuroepistemology, its object, methods and characteristics. The main result of the research is that, despite the forty-year history of neuroepistemological projects, this term is each time constructed anew. Different interpretations are not compared to each other, and the authors rarely refer to the history of the concept, continuing to fill it with new contradictory meanings. This conclusion follows from the examination of thematic publications on neuroepistemology in English, Russian, and mainly in German, due to the high number of references to neuroepistemology in German-language cognitive philosophy (E. Ozer, F. Seitelberger, K. Vogeley, M. Peschl). If we attribute the earliest attempts to synthesize philosophical and biological approaches to knowledge (F. Nietzsche, K. Lorenz, U. Maturana, F. Varela) to presuppositions of neuroepistemology and start with the mentions of the word “neuroepistemology”, we find three relevant interpretations of the concept. The first (probably presented by John Hughlings Jackson) treats neuroepistemology as a research of epistemic communities of producers of neuroscientific knowledge. The object of such research is epistemic culture (K.K. Cetina), and the research aims can be achieved by the methods of the philosophy of science, the sociology of knowledge, and epistemology. The second interpretation of neuroepistemology (P.S. Churchland) concerns the use of neuroscientific methodologies to address issues of knowledge. These studies are an attempt to answer the question of how a person knows, using all the possible tools of the brain studies (the research of concept cells is a relevant example). The third interpretation (E. Ozer) begins with the consistent naturalization of the theory of knowledge in the 1980s and insists on finding its own methods or, in extreme cases, on its own ways of integrating particular methods of neuroscience and epistemology. The article describes the principles and rules of such neuroepistemological reasoning, its features and methodological perspectives.

The Taiwan Film and Audiovisual Institute’s Taiwanese-language cinema restoration project

This article presents the forty-year history of the Taiwan Film and Audiovisual Institute’s efforts to save Taiwanese language films, taiyupian, starting from collecting, preserving, and through to digital restoration. The TFAI’s project to restore taiyupian aims to make these films available in this digital era, so that they can be digitally projected, and give Taiwanese-language cinema a new life. These restored films are vibrant, possess modernist aesthetics, and are boldly creative. With the newly restored films, the styles of the important taiyupian directors can be re-examined and given the new recognition they deserve. Furthermore, the TFAI calls for a repositioning of Taiwanese-language cinema in Taiwan film history.

Ethics in medical education (on the 85 th anniversary of the Volgograd State Medical University)

The article traces the forty-year history of the establishment of the Bioethics training course at the Volgograd State Medical University, which turns 85 this year. It is told about those who played a major role in the development of bioethics as a training course, what difficulties and successes were along this path. The logic of the institutionalization of bioethics through the creation of ethical examination procedures is traced. Actual problems of bioethics, as well as ongoing bioethical activities are not covered and are not called, since the materials of the anniversary issue of the journal are devoted to them.

Solar sailing technology challenges

Solar sailing technology has been demonstrated in the space environment over the past decade, in Earth orbit and on an interplanetary trajectory. These technology demonstration missions, along with a forty-year history of conceptual studies and laboratory development, have provided a foundation for a new era of missions where solar sailing provides the necessary propulsion to achieve space science and infrastructure goals. Numerous challenges remain on the path to flagship-class missions utilizing solar sails. This paper provides a survey of the current state of the art in solar sailing technology, including a taxonomy of solar sail design. A summary of solar sailing missions is provided, along with description of the larger-scale ground test programs. A set of representative next-generation solar sailing mission concepts is then presented, to establish driving requirements for future applications. To meet the objectives for these future missions, sail areas must increase by a factor of 50–500 relative to the largest solar sail flown to date. Sail loading, sailcraft areal density, characteristic acceleration and lightness number must improve by one to two orders of magnitude. Technology advancements required to meet the future solar sailing performance needs are described, providing a technology roadmap for solar sailing capability.

O. Barvinskyi and O. Konyskyi: on History of Cooperation

The research, based on the epistolary data, memoirs and articles, deals with the almost fortyyear long history of business and friendly relations between O. Konyskyi and O. Barvinskyi. Being citizens of the antagonistic empires, they tried to bring the inhabitants of the Dnieper Ukraine and Western Ukraine territories closer by means of the cultural and editorial projects. During the last decades of the 19th century O. Konyskyi and O. Barvinskyi actively participated in cultural, educational, social, and political life of Ukrainians. They had managed to start a number of projects that considerably changed the cultural and educational landscape of Ukraine. They took an active part in the establishment and subsequent reformation of Shevchenko Scientifi c Society in Lviv, which became the prototype of the national academy of sciences; they contributed to development of such editorial projects as “Pravda” and “Ruska istorychna biblioteka”; moreover, they published a range of school textbooks in the Ukrainian language. The paper also covers their active participation in establishing the Department of the Southern Europe history in Lviv University and their attempts to popularize and implement the ideas of the ‘new era’. Sometimes they sacrifi ced their own plans and even reputation realizing the projects that weren’t popular among the contemporary public but promised great prospects for Ukrainians in general. Therefore, O. Konyskyi and O. Barvinskyi were fulfi lling a very ambitious task of gaining the unity of the Ukrainian state and ensuring the possibilities for the national, cultural and educational evolution of Ukrainian society.

Extreme Hardcore Punk and the Analytical Challenges of Rhythm, Riffs, and Timbre in Punk Music

Scholars often assume that there is little more to say about punk music other than it is fast, loud, abrasive, and any amateur can perform it. Yet within the punk scene, there is a robust discourse on punk musical style and the changes it has undergone throughout its now forty-year history, seemingly endless subgenre distinctions, and critical commentary on the musical merits of individual bands. This article combines transcription and analysis with a look at the punk scene’s own discourse on musical style to understand the rhythms, riffs, and timbres of extreme hardcore punk, a subgenre prominent in the 1990s. The 800-BPM blast beats, screamed or growled vocals, and dissonant riffs of extreme hardcore necessitate the development of theoretical concepts for explaining the function of meter, timbre, and melodic material in punk. Furthermore, an understanding of changes in and new subgenres of punk style is necessary to avoid reducing punk to a music devoid of nuance or ongoing historical development.

The Middle English Creolization Hypothesis: Persistence, Implications, and Language Ideology

AbstractBailey and Maroldt (1977) and Domingue (1977) were the first to argue that language contact during the Middle Ages between Old English and both Old Norse and Norman French resulted in linguistic creolization. This theory, known as the Middle English creolization hypothesis, implies that Middle English, and perhaps Modern English as well, should be classified as a creole. Though frequently discredited on historic, linguistic, and terminological grounds, the creolization hypothesis has attracted interest for longer than might be expected. This paper argues that the persistence of the hypothesis may be ideologically motivated. The first section examines connotations of the term “creole” and applies these connotations to an analysis of the initial presentations of the creolization hypothesis. The second and third section of the paper review and analyze the forty-year history of the debate, focusing separately on arguments for creolization (and koinezation) between Anglo-Norman French and Old Norse, respectively. The fourth and final section examines challenges presented by the concept of creole exceptionalism to common attitudes about language equality and the theory of Universal Grammar. It is argued that these issues attract greater interest when contextualized within a discussion of a “major” world language such as English than when creolization is understood as an atypical process restricted to “peripheral” languages such as Haitian Creole. This paper also references relevant political issues such as the current controversy among medievalists about the field’s historic lack of inclusivity.

Pulmonology service and science in Uzbekistan

Forty-year history of Department of Pulmonology and Clinical Allergology, Tashkent Institute of Postgraduate Physician Training, Healthcare Ministry of the Uzbekistan Republic, and a history of development of pulmonology service at the Uzbekistan Republic are described in this article. The Department of Pulmonology and Clinical Allergology was established by Academician Abdulla M. Ubaydullaev in 1978. Long-term research has determined a high morbidity of respiratory diseases not in cotton growers, but also in other agriculture workers. The results of the research underlied a system of preventive measures and treatment of respiratory diseases in this population.

Memories of German Wartime Suffering: Russian Migrant Nellja Veremej’s Berlin liegt im Osten in Context

This article returns to a question posed by Andreas Huyssen (and others), namely whether and how minority writers can “migrate into” a German memory culture that is largely shaped by the “ethnic German” memory of German responsibility for the Holocaust. Here, however, the focus is on two “other” ethnic German memories that are arguably repressed in today’s Germany, namely German wartime suffering and the forty-year history of the German Democratic Republic. The article offers a close reading of Russian migrant writer Nellja Veremej’s 2013 novel Berlin liegt im Osten as a highly unusual—even unique—literary engagement with these “non-integrated” German pasts that not only critiques present-day Germany’s memory culture but also challenges what the novel frames as its self-satisfied liberal nationalism. A brief concluding section speculates on how “big history” and growing global consciousnes of the Anthropocene might impact our engagement with twentieth-century German and even world history. (ST)

Time for anisotropy: The significance of mechanical anisotropy for the development of deformation structures

The forty-year history of the Journal of Structural Geology has recorded an enormous increase in the description, interpretation and modelling of deformation structures. Amongst factors that control deformation and the resulting structures, mechanical anisotropy has proven difficult to tackle. Using a Fast Fourier Transform-based numerical solver for viscoplastic deformation of crystalline materials, we illustrate how mechanical anisotropy has a profound effect on developing structures, such as crenulation cleavages, porphyroclast geometry and the initiation of shear bands and shear zones.

“A Compass to Our Culture”: A History of <em>Haentsiklopedia Haivrit</em>, 1944–1980

HaEntsiklopedia HaIvrit was the largest modern literary project in the Hebrew language in terms of its circulation and the financial and the intellectual investments that it required. The initiators of this monumental project sought to buttress the emerging national identity by disseminating certain types of knowledge among all members of Israeli society. This article follows the forty-year history of the encyclopedia and observes the reasons for changes in epistemology, purpose, and marketing. I find that the project, which gained commercial success and critical acclaim in its first decade, gradually became a financial failure in later years. In its last years, the encyclopedia lost its luster as a national emblem, with much of the knowledge having been “imported” from foreign sources.

Trajectories in Intercultural Theology

The article looks at the development of Intercultural Theology over the past 40 years.I nterest in intercultural theologies has been evident since the mid-1970s. Called by various names throughout this more than forty-year history— contextual theologies, local theologies, theologies of inculturation—the initial focus in these theological approaches was to provide a more appropriate vehicle for Christian faith that was attuned to cultural circumstances outside Europe and North America by attending more to the cultural context in which theological thinking was to be articulated.
