What is the most common diagnosis that leads to post-partum psychosis?

Abstract This chapter extends the treatment of the previous chapters to the case when the system is initially prepared in an ensemble average. This requires adding a “vertical track” to the oriented contour. Alternative formalisms are considered in this context, depending on the way the vertical track is dealt with. The relationship between transient phenomena and the adiabatic assumption is also considered.

An ectopic pregnancy is any pregnancy implanted outside of the uterine cavity. They can be classified as either uterine or extra-uterine. The majority are extra-uterine, with the most common site of implantation being within the Fallopian tube. Other types of extra-uterine ectopic pregnancies include ovarian and abdominal pregnancies. Transvaginal ultrasound is now accepted as the diagnostic tool of choice for ectopic pregnancy. The aim of a scan is to positively identify the ectopic pregnancy, rather than to just exclude the presence of a normally sited pregnancy.

Chapter 15 discusses the digitalisation of the physical store. A large part of the digital revolution has taken place in the physical store. One effect of this, which is beyond the control of retailers, is the shoppers’ smartphone usage while shopping. Rigorous in-store experiments have revealed that shoppers spend more if they use their phone while shopping. The effect occurs because the shoppers’ otherwise autopilot-like behaviour is disrupted by smartphone usage. Shoppers using smartphones deviate more from their planned behaviour than shoppers not using their phones. There are also many new retail technologies in the stores, such as various scanning techniques, digital signage, and electronic shelf labels. Most of these techniques influence shopping in a positive way. The shoppers seem to be more involved in their processing of the products, meaning that they see the assortments as a solution to their problems to a greater extent and that they make more informed decisions. For some assortments, like ‘embarrassing’ products, staff-less solutions like service robots, automated stores, or vending machines can be a preferred solution.

This chapter investigates the ‘bass music’ genres of dubstep and trap at massive North American festivals in the 2010s, an era in which DJ sets were characterised by a sensationalised moment known as ‘the drop’. It begins by demonstrating that the sense of rupture delivered by the drop is emmeshed with social and musical disputes (especially in online festival groups). The chapter then examines the gendered dimensions of the bass music drop. It ends by considering bass music’s #MeToo moment of reckoning regarding alleged sexual misconduct by the dubstep producer-DJ Datsik. In doing so, the chapter suggests that despite previous and ongoing associations with unity, transcendence, and escapism, EDM is sometimes unable to escape the divisions and ills of the world as it is. Rather than ignoring the dark sides of EDM culture through affirmative scholarship, our field would benefit from a critical turn and methodological innovation.

This chapter seeks to define the broad contours of the Viennese music publishing landscape and the conditions that informed its development, notably the symbiotic relationship between printing technologies, markets and repertories and their varying calibrations in different periods, and the impact of emerging ideas of intellectual property and performing rights in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It pays particular attention to the activities of Artaria and other late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century publishers, as well as to developments among Viennese publishers in the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.

Chapter 3 samples some ancient conversations across language at the interface of literature and lived experience: lifestyle, in the strictest sense. The title nods at antiquity’s most famous Greco-Roman comparativist, Plutarch; but discussion quickly moves on to the Latin prose miscellanist Aulus Gellius. What can we learn if we press the micro-dramas of philological competition characteristic of Gellius’ so-titled Attic Nights for cultural insights into the ‘parallel lives’ of the Greeks and Romans encountered in them? Next comes a matter earlier raised amid the counterfactual vignettes of Chapter 1: what if we had some stories to tell, against the grain of literary history, about a Greek poet responding to something – anything – written in Latin? Virgil’s fame makes his a good case to ponder here; and the Bay of Naples, where Virgil spent much of his life, invites attention as a microclimate of poetic biculturalism. The last section considers a collection of Greek epigrams assembled by a Greek who enjoyed patronage in first-century CE Rome: in the face of most modern critical work on the Greek Anthology, what happens if the Garland of Philip is read as Roman poetry?

The Introduction outlines the book’s central concern with the practice and abolition of the death penalty in British colonies from the 1960s to the 1990s. It traces the development of the royal prerogative of mercy during the first half of the twentieth century and explains factors that influenced the colonial clemency process prior to abolition of the death penalty in Britain in 1965. It also introduces the competing pressures imposed on British death penalty policy by decolonisation and the development of capital punishment as a global human rights concern in the late twentieth century. Finally, it discusses the primary sources on which the study is based, explains the scope of the research and summarises each chapter.

A 45-year-old male presents to the emergency department with severe respiratory distress after developing symptoms of fever, chills, myalgias, and a nonproductive cough five days ago. The patient had recently returned from a hiking trip in Yellowstone National Park, where he cleaned a cabin that had rodent nests and droppings. Upon arrival, he is hypoxic and requires supplemental oxygen and intubation. His condition worsens, developing hypotension requiring vasopressor support. Laboratory findings reveal leukocytosis with immunoblasts, thrombocytopenia, and elevated lactate. The patient is diagnosed with Hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS), a condition linked to rodent exposure, specifically to the inhalation of viral particles from infected rodent droppings. Treatment focuses on advanced airway management, fluid resuscitation, and close monitoring of hemodynamic status. The patient requires intensive care unit admission, and state and local health departments must be notified due to the public health implications of HCPS.

In this chapter, Buzan sets out his reactions to the idea of ‘big picture’ research in general, and to the rest of the chapters in the book in particular. He opens with some autobiographical reflections, addressing how it was that he came to think and write in this way, which raises unanswerable questions about nature/nurture. The next section reviews what he learned about the big picture from reading this book. The gist of this is that the big picture is bigger than he thought it was – and always will be. The following section considers what he learned from seeing his work as others see it – how it fits into the intellectual space and history of both IR and the neighbouring disciplines around it. In the conclusions he reflects on theoretical abstraction and macro-history as approaches to big picture research, and on the relationship between big picture research and grand narratives.

Research findings in linguistics have contributed to the development of the field of second language acquisition since its inception. However, it is only relatively recently that an interactional linguistics approach, conceptualizing language as a co-constructed semiotic resource and emergent phenomenon, has been utilized for research in the field. Our chapter introduces a rigorous method for the analysis of dialogic interaction (often spoken language data), called Conversation Analysis (CA), originally developed in the field of sociology. We discuss CA’s origins, core principles, and natural fit as a method for linguistic analysis. The chapter then surveys research that has used CA methods for understanding SLA including how CA methods played a role in reconceptualizing what it means to be competent in a language. Lastly, we present a short summary of one research study using CA methods, and two activities grounded in CA principles that language teachers might consider adding to their repertoire.
