Microbiome in Precision Psychiatry: An Overview of the Ethical Challenges Regarding Microbiome Big Data and Microbiome-Based Interventions

There has been a spurt in both fundamental and translational research that examines the underlying mechanisms of the human microbiome in psychiatric disorders. The personalized and dynamic features of the human microbiome suggest the potential of its manipulation for precision psychiatry in ways to improve mental health and avoid disease. However, findings in the field of microbiome also raise philosophical and ethical questions. From a philosophical point of view, they may yet be another attempt at providing a biological cause for phenomena that ultimately cannot be so easily localized. From an ethical point of view, it is relevant that the human gut microbiome comprises data on the individual’s lifestyle, disease history, previous medications, and mental health. Massive datasets of microbiome sequences are collected to facilitate comparative studies to identify specific links between the microbiome and mental health. Although this emerging research domain may show promise for psychiatric patients, it is surrounded by ethical challenges regarding patient privacy, health risks, effects on personal identity, and concerns about responsibility. This narrative overview displays the roles and advances of microbiome research in psychiatry and discusses the philosophical and ethical implications of microbiome big data and microbiome-based interventions for psychiatric patients. We also investigate whether these issues are really “new,” or “old wine in new bottles.”

Economic Sociology of Innovation and Entrepreneurship

While research on innovation and entrepreneurship has been primarily focused on high-tech industries, the phenomenon of creating new products and organizations is not confined to high-growth industries. Oftentimes, sociological studies based on less conventional settings (i.e., non-high-tech settings) provide invaluable insights for innovation and entrepreneurship research. This symposium aims to discuss recent works that study innovation and entrepreneurship from the theoretical angle of economic sociology using unique settings. The four presentations share close theoretical connections, while each presentation uses a unique entrepreneurship phenomenon from the beer market to Broadway performances to crowdfunding to the juvenile product market. We expect the symposium will provide a good opportunity for the scholars to learn about the benefits of each of the unique settings to derive theoretical and practical implications.

From Endodontic Therapy to Regenerative Endodontics: New Wine in Old Bottles.

The concept of regenerative endodontics wherein one can replace damaged pulp structures and recuperate the functionality in erstwhile necrotic and infected root canal systems has been a cutting-edge technology. Though the notion started as early as the 1960s, even before the discovery of stem cells and regenerative medicine, it was in the 2000s that this procedure gained momentum. Ever since then, researchers continue to discover its essential benefit to immature teeth and its ability to overcome the caveats of endodontic therapy, which is commonly known as root canal treatment. Further, through this therapy, one can redevelop root even in immature teeth with necrotic pulps, which overall helps in maintaining skeletal and dental development. Past literature indicates that regenerative endodontic procedures seem to be successful, especially when compared with other conventional techniques such as Mineral Trioxide Aggregate apexification. Besides, many clinicians have begun to apply regenerative endodontic procedures to mature teeth in adult patients, with several clinical case reports that have shown complete resolution of signs and symptoms of pulp necrosis. Generally, the three most desirable outcomes anticipated by clinicians from this procedure include resolution of clinical signs and symptoms, root maturation and redevelopment of the neurogenesis process. Despite this, whether these objectives and true regeneration of the pulp/dentin complex are achieved is still a question mark. Following the discovery that regenerative endodontics indeed is a stem cell-based treatment, addressing the fundamental issue surrounding stem cells might assist in achieving all identified clinical outcomes while favoring tissue formation that closely resembles the pulp-dentin complex.

Police, Policing, and the Community: Community Policing in Theory and Practice in Gulu, Uganda

In 2017 the Uganda Police Force (UPF) issued a Strategy for Community Policing (COP). The aim of the strategy is to provide a framework for the operationalisation of COP in the country. COP in Uganda is viewed both as a philosophy and an organisational strategy aiming at promoting new partnerships between the police and the community. This research examines how the UPF applies the COP strategy in Gulu Uganda to create new partnerships between the police and the community as part of the preparation for transforming Gulu into a city in Uganda. Anchored in qualitative research conducted in 2018–2019 in Gulu municipality, we examined COP in theory and practice. We fleshed out the different COP interventions installed by the police, observed how these applications of COP are perceived by the community and local leadership, and evaluated the extent to which these applications and perceptions contribute to creating new partnerships between the police and the public, as well as how these constitute an operationalisation of the UPF strategy for COP. There are several interventions labelled as COP in Gulu, including joint patrols, Mayumba Kumi, sensitisation activities, and partnerships with NGOs. Most of these applications are ‘old wine in new bottles’ and do not qualify as attempts to create new partnerships between the police and the public. In linkage to the mode of governance exercised by the Government of Uganda, the data collected indicates that the public at large still views the police as a corrupt, unpredictable, and a violent force that serves the interests of elites rather than a public service. As long as the police is viewed in such a way, it is difficult to create meaningful partnerships between the police and the public, and subsequently it becomes difficult to successfully apply the UPF COP strategy.

Old Wine in New Bottles? The European Union's Organizational Response to Reforming EU–African Migration Cooperation

AbstractIn 2015, the European Commission responded to renewed demands from its political environment to achieve more results in its external relations with African countries in migration. This article explores how calls for action from domestic arenas formed an adaptation pressure on the EU's external migration governance, and first examines the implications of this for political cooperation and instrumentation. In assessing adaptation in these areas, this article addresses the question of whether a fundamental redefinition of the EU's engagement with African states has occurred. Secondly, the article proposes that mal‐integration of policy emerges as an organizational compromise that allows a number of functional interests to be met. It allows for the broad enlisting of support from different parts of the administration; it enables the performance of a response to demands that cannot be realistically met; and allows a reconciling of different interests under one approach.

Exchange Transfusion in Neonatal Sepsis- An Old Wine in New Bottle

Neonatal Sepsis, second major cause of mortality, is killing more than one million neonates annually worldwide [1]. Globally, of three million annual neonatal sepsis cases India has the highest incidence of clinical sepsis (17,000/ 1, 00,000 live births) [2]. In the 1980s and 90s, exchange transfusion (ET) was reported by some authors to be effective in the treatment of neonatal sepsis and septic shock [3]. The main aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of exchange transfusion in neonatal sepsis as compared to standard therapy. Neonates with septic shock (Sclerema) admitted to our NICU from dec 2017 to dec 2018 were included in the study. 43 neonates who received ETs were compared with 43 neonates who received of standard care therapy. The mortality rate was 27.9% in the ET group and 30.1% in the ScT group statistically insignificant. The duration of hospital stay in exchange transfusion babies was less(14.9 days) as compared to control group(22.7days) which was statistically significant(p<0.05). In the era of increasing antibiotic resistance, the need of hour is to find alternative measures in sepsis. Exchange transfusion can be one of the prime modality in treatment of severe neonatal sepsis, which is one of the major cause of deaths worldwide. Exchange transfusion being cheaper as compared to other modalities of treatment (eg; IVIG) needs further research on use and long term complications in neonatal sepsis.

Populism or Nationalism? The ‘Paradoxical’ Non-Emergence of Populism in Cyprus

This article investigates the curious non-emergence of populism in contemporary Cyprus despite the deep financial crisis and profound political disillusionment – conditions that are treated as necessary and sufficient. Putting emphasis on Cyprus’ key historical particularities, the article inquires into the ways Cyprus’ political past, and the subsequent salient ‘national question’, produce ambiguous notions of ‘the people’ on the one hand, and impede the potentials for a ‘populist moment’ on the other hand. By assessing the performative dynamics of oppositional parties in Cyprus, the empirical analysis suggests that the absence of populism is rooted in the following factors: First, nationalist discourse prevails over, and significantly weakens, populist discourse. Second, self-proclaimed challenger parties served ‘old wine in new bottles’ further undermining their position and claims. The failure of populism to take root in Cyprus, brings to the fore important theoretical insights relevant to the non-emergence of populism even under favourable conditions.

Old wine in new bottles? Revisiting employee participation in Industry 4.0

AbstractThis paper aims to critically examine employee participation in Industry 4.0, with a systematic literature review. A total of 58 studies were reviewed, resulting in a categorisation of the literature into three perspectives. The ‘techno‐optimist’ and the ‘socio‐technical’ perspective dominate in the reviewed papers. They both confirm a trend that frames employee participation in a unitarist tradition, which emphasises synergies between managerial efficiency and (mostly individual) participation, leading to high innovation potential. The third perspective is rooted in critical studies. Authors writing on the latter subject predict more standardisation and centralisation, and the continued demise of collective and representative forms of participation. To better understand the role of employees in Industry 4.0, we suggest confronting the current discourse with robust empirical research. On that basis, we reject both technological and social determinism, and we acknowledge the structural ambiguities and multidimensionality of employee participation in technological transformations.

Nationalism in the neoliberal order: Old wine in new bottles?

AbstractThis paper explores the forms and contents of contemporary nationalism in Europe and North America, what used to be called the ‘West’. This nationalism responds in opposite and sometimes contradictory ways to a neoliberal order of globalization, welfare‐state retreat and a heightened sense of insecurity. I distinguish between populist and statist forms of contemporary nationalism, and within the statist between a compensatory and a constitutive logic of linking it with neoliberalism. Under the constitutive logic, nationalism may adopt certain features of the neoliberal order itself, which yields a ‘neoliberal nationalism’. Nonethnic yet exclusive of those who are not contributing, this is a new entry in the nations and nationalism lexicon.

Appellate Jurisdiction of International Court of Justice: Old Wine in New Bottle

Abstract The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is the principal judicial organ under the United Nations (UN) competent to decide cases submitted by the States. The Jurisdiction of the ICJ is derived from Article 36 of the ICJ statute; further, the ICJ is competent to render advisory opinions when requested by the organs and specialised agencies of the UN. Before proceeding to the merits of the case, the ICJ has to satisfy that it has jurisdiction to decide upon the case. Moreover, the decisions of the ICJ are binding without appeal, except in cases involving revision. This article briefly analyses the Appeal Relating to the Jurisdiction of the International Civil Aviation Organisation Council (ICAO Council) under Article 84 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation (Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates v. Qatar).

Die erneuerte Partnerschaft mit der südlichen Nachbarschaft: Was ist neu an der „neuen Agenda“?

In February 2021, the European Commission came up with “a new Agenda for the Mediterranean” (new Agenda). After the latest review of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) in 2015, a new strategy had been expected for some time. Which aspects, however, are “new” in the new Agenda? Based on a review of the last 25 years of Euro-Mediterranean Partnership (EMP) and Neighbourhood Policy, the article explores to what extent the new Agenda is set to offer any change deserving to be called genuine or merely reflects old wine in new bottles. Within a content and discourse analytical approach, the article tracks how the concepts’ major topics and strategic frames evolved over the course of the years with a focus on the specific aspect of securitization. While the new Agenda seems to be reaching a new apex as regards the latter, there is much to be found in its text that is already well known from earlier strategy papers.

Karta Polaka—New Wine in Old Bottles

The Karta Polaka was adopted by the Polish parliament in 2007. Its main aim at the time was to facilitate the maintenance of cultural links between Poland and the Polish kin-minorities living in the former Soviet Union. This paper discusses the international context and long legislative history of the statute on the Karta Polaka, and illustrates the evolution of its provisions. The main argument is that the function of the Karta Polaka has evolved from one of maintaining links with the kin-minority abroad to facilitating emigration to Poland by people of Polish ethnic origin or cultural affinity.

New wine in old bottles: applicability of the rules on attribution to cyberattacks committed against objects of critical infrastructure

Growing number of cyberattacks committed by states or with their support testifies to the need of legal attribution for the purposeof international responsibility. Tallin Manual that comprises authoritative findings on how the attribution rules should be applied raisesa serious concern about the practical possibility to establish attribution. The main reason for this concern may be found in the nature ofcyberspace that is characterized by anonymity, spoofing and targeting from the territory of other states etc.The rules of Tallinn Manual reiterated the provisions of ARSIWA and do not evidence about the existence of lex specialis forcyberattacks attribution. Pursuant to them, states are responsible for actions of their de facto and de jure organs empowered to exercisethe elements of governmental functions, private actors within their effective control or for the violation of due diligence obligations.This article argues that there is no necessity to change the rules on attribution, but, due to limited human and technical resourcesof most states, a special body for technical attribution should be created. The author analyses the different proposals that foresees amembership of states or fully excludes it. Notwithstanding a model, which may be chosen, there should be a variety of technical exper -tise and limitations of states ability to impact a decision concerning the choice of a case and its outcomes.

Domestic Work and the Gig Economy in South Africa: Old wine in new bottles?

Based on innovative, mixed-methods research, this article examines the entry of on-demand platform models into the domestic work sector in South Africa. This sector has long been characterised by high levels of informality, precarity, and exploitation, though recent regulatory advances have provided labour and social protections to some domestic workers. We locate the rise of the on-demand economy within the longer-term trajectory of domestic work in South Africa, identifying the ‘traditional’ sector as a key site of undervalued labour. On-demand domestic work platforms create much-needed economic opportunities in a context of pervasive un(der)-employment, opportunities that come with some incremental improvements over traditional working arrangements. Yet we contend that platform models maintain the patterns of everyday abuse found elsewhere in the domestic work sector. These models are premised on an ability to navigate regulatory contexts to provide clients with readily available, flexible labour without longer-term commitment, therefore sidestepping employer obligations to provide labour rights and protections. As a result, on-demand companies reinforce the undervalued and largely unprotected labour of marginalised women domestic workers.

New Wine in Old Bottles: Alternative Narratives of Cybercrime and Criminal Justice?

Why geographic data science is not a science.

“Data Science” has taken many disciplines by storm. And for a good reason: New forms and unseen quantities of data enter nearly every scientific field, substantially changing the ways how scientists do science, and potentially allowing them to answer old questions or to pose them in novel ways. The recent success of Data Science is also reflected in corresponding study programs and curricula and the emergence of specialized branches, such as Geographic Data Science (GDS). Some researchers, therefore, claim that Data Science and GDS should be treated as autonomous scientific disciplines, while others fear that it sells nothing but old wine in new bottles. In an attempt to sober the discussion, we investigate GDS and Data Science from the perspective of meta‐science. We provide arguments why today's GDS and Data Science should be seen as an interdisciplinary community of practice of data‐driven scientists, rather than a scientific discipline. We also discuss what is missing for GDS and Data Science to become genuine scientific disciplines.

Oude wijn in nieuwe zakken?Politieke microtargeting wordt soms gepresenteerd als een revolutionaire manier van campagnevoeren. In dit artikel beschrijven wij wat microtargeting behelst, plaatsen wij kanttekeningen bij microtargetings veronderstelde nieuwigheid en maken wij een historische vergelijking met microtargeting in het pre-massapartijentijdperk. We concluderen dat microtargeting als idee niet nieuw is, maar dat de technologie die tegenwoordig wordt gebruikt heeft gezorgd

Old wine in new bottles? A historical comparison of microtargeting in the Netherlands Political microtargeting is sometimes presented as a revolution in political campaigning. Sending citizens tailored political messages is considered effective, efficient, and modern, especially in the Netherlands. In this article we dive deeper into the concept of microtargeting. We compare modern-day microtargeting and political campaigns in the pre-mass party era, who already tailored political messages to individual citizens as early as in the 1900’s. We describe similarities and differences between the ‘old’ and ‘new’ campaigns to illustrate how, conceptually, both forms of ‘microtargeting’ do not differ that much. Finally, we conclude that while the concept may be similar, the practice does differ. Technology not only enables political parties to reach unparalleled levels of granularity, but also to spread messages on an incomparable scale. Thus, we may speak of old wine in new bottles. But the new bottles may be so dominant that they have changed the old taste of the wine.

New wine in old bottles? Korean state actors’ policy engagement with the online gaming industry

This article revisits the developmental state literature that stresses the unitary role of the state in steering economic development in East Asia. Focusing on the Korean state actors’ diversity and their agency after the trend of globalization and democratization, this article highlights various state actors as agents and looks into how the role of state actors has changed with industrial development, using the setting of the Korean online gaming industry over the past two decades. By examining government policy measures on the industry, I found that the state actors have actively engaged with the industry, however, this agency has not been uniform due to the different purposes of the actors and sometimes led a detrimental effect against the needs or expectations of the industry. The findings, thus, contribute to the literature by suggesting the potentiality of agent-driven institutional change and the heterogeneity that comes from the state actors’ policy engagement.
