The scenario begins with the evaluation of multiple patients, including a 6-year-old boy, a 21-year-old marathon runner, and a 70-year-old man, all presenting with symptoms of nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. As the senior medical officer, the physician must recognize the viral gastroenteritis outbreak and take steps to manage the rapidly spreading illness with limited resources, all while on a ship far from shore. Key teaching points include the differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal symptoms across various age groups, the management of dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, and the implementation of infection control measures. The scenario emphasizes the need for coordinated public health action in a confined, resource-limited setting, while also navigating the captain’s decision not to turn the ship around, as no patients are critically ill.

This chapter explores what weather is, investigating the metaphysics and ontology of weather's various manifestations. It begins by raising familiar examples and then trying to bring these together to get at the concept behind weather. It first examines many instances of weather – rain, snow, sleet, hail, thunder, lightning, clouds, sun, wind, storms, cold snaps, heat waves, clear skies, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc. – and discusses the ways in which these examples of weather ultimately fall short of offering a suitable definition. It also covers the ways in which metaphors of weather appear in literature, film, and popular culture, often as indications of tumult or unpredictability. It concludes by bending toward a characterization of weather as a force that functions independently of our own willful activities.

The scenario aims to teach participants the importance of recognizing heat stroke early, understanding its pathophysiology, and implementing appropriate management strategies. Key actions include obtaining core temperature, initiating aggressive cooling measures, fluid resuscitation, and managing complications such as rhabdomyolysis, hyperkalemia, and neurological symptoms. The simulation also emphasizes the need for advanced airway management and timely admission to intensive care for further treatment. Through this scenario, learners gain hands-on experience in managing a critically ill patient with heat stroke, enhancing their clinical skills and understanding of the complexities involved in treating heat-related emergencies. The article provides a comprehensive framework for educators to facilitate discussions on heat stroke pathophysiology, management strategies, and the role of interdisciplinary collaboration in patient care.

This introductory chapter presents the main topics and orientations of the book. Its subject matter is the invention of technology, that is, the study of techniques in the twentieth-century human and social sciences – as grasped through the fundamental contributions made by André Leroi-Gourhan (1911–1986). Biographical background on his life and career highlights Leroi-Gourhan’s wide-ranging scientific productions in such fields as ethnology, museology, orientalism, art history, palaeontology, behavioural psychology and prehistoric archaeology, and indeed the archaeology and anthropology of techniques. The breadth of these contributions reflects a diversity of interests, but also a form of eclecticism or ‘in-discipline’. Alongside long-standing investments in documentary and experimental practices, his writings were structured around several conceptual keywords (‘techniques’, ‘milieu’, élan vital, Homo faber, ‘liberation’, ‘exteriorization’, chaîne opératoire) which varied over time and in function of their uses. In addition, Leroi-Gourhan’s extensive archives make it possible to address the literary ambitions and intellectual practices of the scientist in action.

Romantic love seems to be a nearly universal phenomenon, appearing in every culture for which data are available and in every historical era. This chapter first reviews research on how ordinary people construe love. Then it turns to how researchers have understood and measured love, organizing its discussion around the theme of types of love. Next it covers the course of love with a focus on falling in love. It then reviews several approaches that have been particularly influential in specifically focusing on understanding the dynamics of romantic love, especially with regard to passionate love. It concludes with a brief review of the work on other kinds of love in relationships. The authors hope that this review has conveyed their view that the study of love is both important and a thriving scientific endeavor, offering both a solid foundation and vast opportunities for significant future work.

What therapeutic intervention is indicated for treatment-resistant psychiatric/aggressive symptoms in a patient with CTE and a comorbid primary psychotic disorder?

The concept of Regional Security Complexes (RSCs) illustrates Buzan’s big picture approach par excellence. It allows the mapping of regional security interactions across the globe, and combines such a bird’s-eye view with the interactions between different security actors and middle-range hypotheses, for instance about the likely behaviour of insulator states. It also exhibits Buzan’s approach of combining traditional theoretical arguments (the systemic relevance of regions) with more critical and constructivist work (securitisation theory). In the context of the post–Cold War world, RSC Theory (RSCT) became quite popular. Yet the parsimony of the argument came at a price. The impossibility to empirically chart the actual security interactions meant that Buzan and Wæver had to give up on one of the core pillars of securitisation analysis, lending weight to those critics who had accused them of privileging states as security actors. Furthermore, the quasi-structuralist inclinations of RSCT underestimated the agency of insulators such as Turkey. This contribution traces the development of RSCT and explores its ambivalence in analytical and normative terms. It argues that RSCT is indicative of Buzan’s contribution to the wider discipline, yet also of some of the limits of his oeuvre.

The French imaginary is a Republican imaginary that is premised on political liberty. The red thread across the political thought and the various constitutions of France has been the pursuit of the ideal political regime that would best realise political liberty and the general interest. That approach stands in stark contrast with the civil-liberty-focused Anglo-American liberal tradition, according to which state power ought to be curtailed in order to maximise individual rights. Those two essentially different traditions could rather peacefully coexist in Europe at the Westphalian time of the nation-states. The clash has, however, become inevitable in a time where globalisation and the latter’s regional avatars act as vehicles of Anglo-American liberalism. This chapter introduces the French constitutional imaginary, relying on the tools provided by intellectual history and constitutional law. It contrasts it with the Anglo-American political thought and shows how the former has remained strong despite the erosion caused by the pervasiveness of the latter.

At the core of nationalism, the nation has always been defined and celebrated as a fundamentally cultural community. This pioneering cultural history shows how artists and intellectuals since the days of Napoleon have celebrated and taken inspiration from an idealized nationality, and how this in turn has informed and influenced social and political nationalism. The book brings together telling examples from across the entire European continent, from Dublin and Barcelona to Istanbul and Helsinki, and from cultural fields that include literature, painting, music, sports, world fairs and cinema as well as intellectual history. Charismatic Nations offers unique insights into how the unobtrusive soft power of a culture inspired by the national interacts with nationalism as a hard-edged political agenda. It demonstrates how, thanks to its pervasive cultural and ‘unpolitical’ presence, nationalism can shape-shift between Romantic insurgency and nativist populism.

Drawing on their classroom experiences, five secondary school language educators present how training in linguistics has positively impacted their pedagogical practices and increased student engagement, enjoyment, and motivation. These teachers of French, German, Latin, and Spanish describe how they bring linguistics into the L2 classroom, giving concrete examples of how the metalinguistic and social awareness that comes with “doing linguistics” can help students learn new languages by drawing on their L1 strengths, as well as gain an appreciation of the beauty and complexity of language, contributing to a welcoming classroom for students of all language backgrounds. These examples, alongside the student feedback described in the chapter, demonstrate that training teachers in linguistics has the potential to keep students curious and motivated, improving both student retention and learning outcomes in secondary L2 classes.

This chapter identifies and analyses five major electronic dance music (EDM) cultures of mainland China: mainstream clubs-based EDM culture, local clubs-based EDM culture, klubbing-based EDM culture, provincial dancing-based EDM culture, and mic-shouting-based EDM culture. The first two cultures are based on the dance club, the third on karaoke venues, and the final two on social media. Chinese EDM cultures and styles are circulated regionally but not globally. Yet, they have been given ample opportunity to grow due to the very large domestic night-time economy. They are locally distinctive and participated in by millions of Chinese clubbers and audiences. Several studies have already identified these local EDM styles, but the local EDM cultures remain unexplored. The discussion helps fill the research gap by analysing major Chinese EDM cultures’ local cultural characteristics and potential social implications.

This chapter argues that the development of ‘the international’ into a collective singular serves as a powerful obstacle for understanding world politics. It traces how this has happened and why exactly this is problematic. Regarding the works of Barry Buzan, it demonstrates how these can be characterised as in many ways partaking in the more unquestioned, ‘singularized’ use of ‘the international’, but that based on a basic English School setting, he has moved beyond that. This moving beyond is particularly strong since the early 2000s, that is the period in which many of his works start to be about the ‘big picture’ beyond international society, starting with From International to World Society? and more recently resulting in Making Global Society.

This chapter examines concert life in Vienna. It describes the creation of a concert tradition between 1770 and 1870, and its subsequent expansions and distortions in the next 150 years, through consideration of the important concert venues that have dominated the Habsburg and Austrian capital.

How does one become a technologist? While the study of techniques in the social sciences can be traced to the turn of the twentieth century, Leroi-Gourhan was quite clear about his own original contribution to this emerging field. In some of his reflexive texts, he mentioned the likes of Anatole Lewitsky, Arnold Van Gennep, André-Georges Haudricourt and also Lewis Mumford, author of Technics and Civilisation. Above these dominate the formative influence of Marcel Mauss and of Paul Rivet. In his teaching at the Institut d’ethnologie, Mauss emphasized the inherently social dimensions of techniques, including the traditional and efficient techniques of the body, with or without instruments. From Rivet, the director of the Musée de l’Homme, where he spent the first decade of his career, Leroi-Gourhan absorbed his museographic and ethnological outlooks, including his interest in ordinary or daily-life objects as markers of cultural identities and contacts.
