Chapter 11 explores Gao’s strategies for defending Huainan, maintaining its economic and financial viability, ensuring its local administration, and pursuing external relations. Huainan was one of the wealthiest and most populous regions in the empire. “Great Bounty” outlines Gao’s policies of economic, agricultural, and commercial administration. “Commodity Taxes” discusses his role in southern China’s financial administration and his approach to using monopoly taxation for funding Huainan’s government. “Border Defense” details Gao’s actions as commander-in-chief and military governor responsible for building and funding armies capable of securing Huainan. “Inked Edicts” refers to the emperor’s privilege of appointing prefects and other provincial officials by personal edicts, a prerogative delegated to Gao Pian and other military governors in 881. In “Friend or Foe,” Gao engages in diplomatic exchanges with external actors to prevent attacks on Huainan’s borders and join forces with potential allies. After Huainan’s military and fiscal decoupling from the government-in-exile, Gao gains full powers over the region’s administration.

In this scenario a 50-year-old male is brought in from the bus station where he was found sleeping on a covered park bench during a severe winter storm. He arrives obtunded with limited history, severely hypothermic (core temperature of 26°C or 78.8°F) and bradycardic in slow atrial fibrillation. The patient decompensates and suffers a v-fib arrest, requires volume resuscitation, active rewarming in addition to typical ACLS measures. If such measures are taken, then the patient will have return of spontaneous circulation, at which point the team will have the opportunity to contact either their institution’s cardiopulmonary bypass personnel or contact the nearest center with this capability.

The early nineteenth century, approximately 1800–48, is the focus of this chapter. Through consideration of historical sources, it enters the early nineteenth-century Viennese home, finding out what was played, who was playing, with what skill and why. It examines the centrality of the piano and the string quartet and the identity and status of musical dilettantes.

This chapter considers the historical pictures of international systems and international society that Barry Buzan has drawn: International Systems in World History with Richard Little, covering both ancient and modern systems; The Great Transformation with George Lawson, which more closely treats the nineteenth-century system; and Making Global Society, which historicizes the emergence and structure of the contemporary global order. It places them in the tradition of treating international society as a historical subject, a tradition that began with the Gottingen historians in the eighteenth century, and also in the context of historical method, distinguishing between synthetic history and ‘world history’/historical evolutionism as forms of explanatory history. It considers the requirements of each type of history and how closely Buzan’s efforts conform to each. Considering Buzan’s efforts as models of explanatory history, it proposes the requirements of explanatory history with regard to international historical subjects.

Meta-analyses of symptom-focused medication management suggest that impulsive and behavioral dysregulation in borderline personality disorder (BPD) is best treated by which of the following classes of psychotropics?

Part III covers the period from the end of the Popular Front in 1938 through the German occupation of France. The Popular Front had led to the marginalization and disarticulation of neo-socialism as a distinct position in the political field. Déat and the neo-socialists became unmoored from the left and thus “available” for political conversion in the years immediately following the dissolution of the Popular Front. The vector through which this happened was the reclassification of the political field around the question of war and peace. As a leading pacifist, Déat took up an anti-anti-fascist position and rallied to the politics of collaboration after the 1940 armistice. Initially seeking his place within Vichy’s “national revolution,” his failure to impose himself there led him to occupied Paris, where he came to adopt an increasingly radicalized form of collaborationist fascism modeled on Nazism through his leadership of the Rassemblement National Populaire (RNP).

In this chapter I focus on the nature of theories in the social sciences, some philosophy of science behind the validation of theories (e.g., falsifiability, approaches to deciding the value of evidence for/against a theory), and some issues to consider with respect to the research process and theory development and evaluation. I discuss the value of deconstructing theories to assess their core and auxiliary assumptions and determine aspects of a theory that have yet to be examined. I also discuss modern approaches to assess the evidentiary value of this body of research. I suggest that in our interdisciplinary field, researchers should consider generating hypotheses, as well as research explorations, through carefully evaluating and questioning the assumptions of the theories typically applied in the study of personal relationships. This discussion includes the use of modern approaches such as computational models. The overarching theme of the chapter is that as a field we need to evaluate and develop our theories using some recommendations put forward for decades combined with recently developed techniques in order to advance our theories beyond vague verbal statements that are interesting yet not precise to theories that allow for more consistent deductions of specific hypotheses.

In the aftermath of a tornado, a 35-year-old man with a history of recurrent deep vein thromboses, on Eliquis for anticoagulation, suffers a severe chain saw injury while clearing debris. The chain saw strikes his left midthigh, causing substantial hemorrhage and limb-threatening trauma. Despite prompt EMS intervention, including tourniquet application, IV fluid resuscitation, and pain management, the patient arrives at a rural emergency department in critical condition with hypotension, tachycardia, and significant pain. The nearest surgical facility is an hour away, and helicopter transport is not feasible due to weather conditions. In the emergency department, the trauma team must navigate the complexities of resuscitation, including the challenges of reversing anticoagulation, administering uncrossmatched blood, and managing the time-sensitive issue of tourniquet removal.
