Abstract:

Adolescence is a significant transitioning phase of life where the young are prone to experiment and engage in risk-taking behaviours such as Substances use. The study objectives were to ascertain the reasons for first-time use of substances, occasions of use, and the sources of availing of banned substances among late adolescents. A quantitative and qualitative study approach was adopted with an exploratory and descriptive research design. Around 532 late adolescent students participated in the study, from colleges in urban & rural areas. The study outcomes highlight the primary reasons f

Abstract:

This longitudinal study examines patterns of emerging substance use among sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students in two New England towns. The results show substantial levels of experimentation and use extending down to the sixth grade and variations in use level depending on the students' community, sex, race, and parents' marital status. This study also examines rates at which students were offered various substances and, by comparing use and offer rates, charts rejection/acceptance rates for the gateway substances across the three grades. The findings suggest the notion of critical perio

Historical and contemporary patterns of substance use and abuse are recognized, and the error in believing psychoactive natural substances to be reasonably safe is pointed out. The plethora of literature on drug-induced ecstasies among diverse peoples produces over-confidence in the safety of inducing altered states by means of natural chemicals. Given the current level of experimentation, the lack of a context for use, and the lack of knowledge of the toxicity of many plant sources presents a very real problem.

Synaptic plasticity, in its broadest sense, can be defined as the ability of synapses to be modified structurally and functionally in response to various internal and external factors. Growing evidence has established that at the very core of these modifications are alterations in the cytoskeletal architecture. This discovery has led to the unearthing of a number of signaling pathways that might be involved in cytoskeletal regulation and also in the regulation of other aspects of synapse development and plasticity.

Abstract:

In a 4-cell C. elegans embryo the ventral blastomere EMS requires polarity signaling from its posterior sister cell, P2. This signaling event enables EMS to orient its division spindle along the anterior-posterior (A/P) axis and to specify the endoderm fate of its posterior daughter cell, E. Wnt pathway components have been implicated in mediating P2/EMS signaling. However, no single mutants or various mutant combinations of the Wnt pathway components disrupt EMS polarity completely. Here we describe the identification of a pathway that is defined by two tyrosine kinase related proteins, SRC-1

Abstract:

Abstract The microdosing of mind-altering substances, like LSD and magic mushrooms, is a trend among young creatives, who report enhanced creativity, improved focus, and other productivity-enhancing effects. This chapter, Chemical Creativity, describes how both users and researchers have been exploring the range of effects of microdosing, including through more experimental ethnographic research. Using virtual ethnography, we analyzed drug users’ narratives of their personal experiences, practices, and motivations with microdosing. We also collaborated with participants using online platforms focused on drug experimentation to generate data, combining their collective experiences while acknowledging individual expertise. Finally, we reviewed research on clinical trials that compare the effects of psychoactive substances, like LSD, with placebos. What emerges is a clearer picture of the benefits of microdosing, how dosages are tweaked, and how users engage in “harm reduction from below” by spreading their cautionary tales within the microdosing world. In so doing, we offer a glimpse into how this relatively new practice develops, as it gains popularity with both laypeople and the academic and scientific communities.

Abstract:

Clinicians in all areas of medicine are likely to encounter people with substance misuse issues, so an understanding of the key issues is essential. Human beings have used intoxicating substances, such as alcohol, nicotine, cannabis, and heroin, for millennia. Motivations might include experimentation, pleasure, social enhancement, or for physical or psychological pain management. Some people who use these legal and illegal substances experience problems related to their use, including loss of control, adverse consequences, withdrawals or cravings, damaged end organs, risky behaviour, and premature death. Substance misuse impacts not only on individual physical and mental health but also upon families and wider society by increased healthcare, criminal justice, social services, and unemployment costs. Drug and alcohol problems affect between 10% and 25% of the population each year, and up to 35% of people have ever used illicit drugs. Alcohol, an intoxicating sedative, is the most commonly used drug, with 25% of the UK population drinking above ‘low-risk’ limits. In England in 2010 there were an estimated 300 000 opiate, crack-cocaine, and injecting drug users, and only half were in treatment. Substance misuse is commonly associated with physical and mental health co-morbidity. The prevalence of co-existing mental health and substance use problems (termed ‘dual diagnosis’) may affect between 30% and 70% of those presenting to healthcare and social care settings. In general, four interrelationships in dual diagnosis are recognized: • substance use leading to social problems and psychological symptoms not amounting to a diagnosis • substance use leading to social dysfunction and secondary psychiatric and physical illness • substance use exacerbating an existing mental or physical health problem and associated social functioning • primary psychiatric illness precipitating substance misuse which may also be associated with physical illness and affect social ability. Given the array of substance misuse problems, an individual treatment approach is essential and may involve psychological, pharmacological, and social intervention. An empathic, non-judgemental clinical approach is essential to engage people with substance misuse problems. Motivational interviewing is an evidence-based talking therapy to help people in denial about their problems make changes for themselves and avoids imposing change prematurely.

Abstract:

Abstract Diethylstilbestrol (DES) was a synthetic estrogen intended to prevent miscarriage and menopausal symptoms, and to fatten livestock. In the 1940s, researchers believed DES should be administered to all pregnant women to prevent pregnancy disorders. However, DES caused cervical cancer, apparent at puberty. Kelsey headed a DES task force, concluding that its use should be limited, if not banned. The outrage on DES and the Tuskegee syphilis experiments led to public calls for human experimentation protocols, which passed in 1972. DES also was a cattle feed additive, and the agricultural lobby fought its ban. Environmental advocates cited the Delaney clause, which stated any substance causing cancer must be banned.

After thanking his predecessor and others of his generation for their service and sacrifice, Clinton proclaims that a new generation has come to power, a generation raised in the shadow of the Cold War. Clinton invokes George Washington and Thomas Jefferson and pays homage to Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address by calling for a celebration of the mystery of American renewal. Echoing John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address, Clinton emphasizes the necessity of sacrifice and service. Clinton positions himself within a specific political genealogy that stood for liberalism’s deepest values by summoning the themes of rebirth, experimentation, and sacrifice.

Abstract:

In Chapter 2, the author shared research evidence on the role of regional SME and development agencies, which are profiled as factors of SME support, regional development, and improvement of competitiveness. The author inquires whether it is possible to experiment with new institutional concepts with a basic role given to the agencies as facilitators of social-economic development reaching out locally, regionally, globally, and in particular, rurally. Such institutions have as their substance a series of development interventions that flow and merge into each other without sharp divisions that might inhibit entrepreneurship and, as will be seen later, rural development. What is proposed here is not a new institution as such but, rather, a new fashion of using the existing development infrastructure. The author develops this approach as experimentation with institutions, which is meant mainly to provide an insight into the fragmentary function of the common social-economic development rather than to propose a totally new method of developing an economy at the local and rural level.

Abstract:

Abstract The federal government uses its commerce clause authority to regulate marketing of drugs and devices and to prohibit use of controlled substances deemed to lack medical use. States have pushed back against this federal authority, enacting statutes permitting medical or recreational marijuana use and granting gravely ill patients the right to try unproven treatments. Data are urgently needed to evaluate these experiments. States have played many roles in addressing the opioid crisis, including cooperating in settlements, sometimes competing to obtain better deals, and sometimes pushing back on federal approvals. For their part, states also acted inadequately in addressing the crisis. We argue in this chapter that states should be permitted to experiment to increase access to medical products, conditioned on appropriate assessment of risks, costs, and efficacy. This is a benefit of federalism. However, it is also unjust for states to deny their residents access to federally approved treatments supported by adequate evidence.

Abstract:

Abstract During a remarkable four-year period from 1966 to 1969, rock seemed to have revolutionary potentials. The “rock revolution” (to use the title of one early book about the music) had allowed listeners to discover the reality of social life lurking underneath the surface of the everyday, whether by ingesting psychedelics, staging utopian dances, exploring hidden states of consciousness, engaging in absurdist political theatre, or broadcasting important social messages. This chapter examines rock dances, musicians’ experimentation with non-Western musics, larger countercultural experimentation with consciousness-altering substances, and the recruitment of music to political causes to outline how commentators in Sixties America viewed the promise of rock music as a political force.

Abstract:

Abstract Since the 1970s, it has become solidly established that CTA (conditioned taste aversion) is, by far, the most potent type of learning. CTAs occur when an animal tastes something, becomes sick through some external means (e.g., injection of a toxin), and then avoids substances with that taste. In the chemical aversion treatment (CAT) of alcoholism in the 1930s, a CTA method was used to induce aversions to the flavors of alcoholic beverages in order to facilitate abstinence from alcohol. Because I want to explore the relationship between CAT and sub-human CTA experimentation, the term “CTA” will be used here to refer to subhuman experimental procedures unless otherwise indicated by the context. Also, although CAT is a behavioral intervention, I will not refer to it as such here because I want to contrast it with other types ofbehavioral interventions to treat alcoholism.

Abstract:

A Virtual Instrument (VI) that is developed to acquire and analyze data from a physical system can be disconnected from the system and modified into a Virtual Experiment (VE). This can be achieved by replacing the input to the sensors with values that are arrived at by modeling the system. To be able to develop virtual experiments in thermodynamics, fluids or heat transfer, VIs are needed for the determination of thermodynamic and transport properties of different substances. The code REFPROP by NIST is used to develop the needed VIs for determining the thermodynamic and transport properties.

Abstract:

Abstract Accumulative knowledge on Thermal Energy Storage (TES) is imperative in society today because technology is ever expanding, opening doors for improved innovation that is more sustainable to our environment. TES has a multitude of uses; from simply boiling a kettle of water on a stove to more complex applications such as solar power generation. This research focuses on the application of a thermal energy storage unit introduced to a selected Phase Change Material (PCM) to undergo controlled experimentation. It helpful to gain understanding of how the TES unit will perform in a typical

Abstract:

Deep ocean mining in a hydrothermal area needs careful environmental impact assessments in terms of preservation and mitigation of biodiversity. The General Environmental Technos Co. Ltd., or KANSO TECHNOS, for short, has participated in environmental impact assessments in hydrothermal areas in the Izu-Ogasawara and the East China Sea areas (Ishida et al., 2011). Through the experience, we suggest a method of using acoustic systems such as acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) for monitoring of suspended matters and benthos in hydrothermal areas. Thus, we try to do in-situ observations, c

Abstract:

Abstract Medicinal plants are widely used in many parts of the world. In Brazil, due to the influence of indigenous roots, this practice has been widespread until today, especially in northern and northeastern regions, where there is the largest concentration of indigenous tribes still alive. The precariousness of public services in remote communities has resulted in the use of plants for medicinal purposes as the main therapeutic resource of these populations and ethnic groups, given that the presence of knowledge about herbs and plant materials, which is passed on among families, is the prim

Abstract:

Thermal conductivity of the ferrofluids is a difficult property to predict theoretically. Existing models can not explain the real behavior of such fluids and mismatch the results found in the experiments. Experimentation is then the most reliable way to determine the observed enhancement in thermal conductivity of ferrofluids. The transient hot wire method is an experimental technique in which the thermal conductivity is obtained by measuring a temperature change, respect to time in a thin wire, caused by a constant current passing through it. Some advantages of this method are the almost com
