This chapter considers Moosé forms of the four conformation systems: iconic dimensions and magnitudes, indexical consubstantial assimilation, concrete operations of one-to-one correspondence, and purely conventional symbolism. It discusses the ineffability of Moosé sacrifices: they have no explanation for sacrifices, and are not comfortable even describing them. But they are eager to discuss prices paid in the local market.

Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) are prevalent in dementia and can include depression, anxiety, agitation, aggression, disinhibition, apathy, psychosis, compulsions, eating disorders, and sleep disturbances. These symptoms can occur at different stages of the disease and vary in frequency and severity between different types of dementia. The underlying pathology of each disease can affect different brain structures, leading to overlapping symptoms and syndromes. Treatment options for NPS are limited and often based on trial and error. Nonpharmacological interventions, such as cognitive behavioral therapy and lifestyle modifications, can be effective in some cases. Pharmacological interventions, including antidepressants, antipsychotics, and stimulants, may also be used, but their efficacy is variable, and they can have side effects. Further research is needed to better understand the underlying mechanisms of NPS in dementia and to develop more effective treatment strategies.

Treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) requires a complex interaction among the patient and care partner, clinician, and health care system. Pharmacotherapy for AD includes aducanumab for patients with mild cognitive impairment mild AD dementia due to AD. Cholinesterase inhibitors are available for mild, moderate, and severe AD dementia and memantine is indicated for patients with moderate and severe AD dementia. Neuropsychiatric symptoms – agitation, psychosis, depression, apathy, insomnia – are common in AD and can be managed with psychotropic agents. Most use of psychotropics is off label and based on the phenotypic similarity between the symptoms occurring in AD and those occurring in disorders with approved indications. The first disease modifying agents for AD are moving toward clinical use in prodromal AD/mild AD dementia. These agents will make new demands on clinicians, health care systems, and patients and their care partners. Pharmacotherapy of AD is combined with recommendations for a brain-healthy lifestyle and care of the care partner.

This conclusion summarises the main findings of this research and highlights its contributions to existing narratives and debates on the development of consumption, material culture, and living standards in European scholarship. The Valencian experience is placed within an international framework to examine the relationship between the late medieval and early modern ‘consumer revolutions’, between consumption and economic growth, and between the economic and the extra-economic driving forces of consumption. It is argued that late medieval consumer societies emerged not as a Malthusian inevitability caused by the Black Death, but as a result of social agency. The improvement of material culture was a deliberate choice to enhance living conditions, driven by existing preferences and aspirations. This silent demand, once met, had lasting effects. The spending power of peasants with higher disposable incomes sustained industries producing mass-consumption goods. The demand from ordinary people was a crucial economic force, stressing the transformative power of peasant consumers.

The discovery of iconic dimensional conformations raises many interesting questions. Are the conformational effects of iconic dimensions on superiors equal in degree to their effects on subordinates? What are the mathematical functions that link “amounts” of conformational dimensions to their effects? How do the conformation effects combine when there are repeated with the same dimension? What are the felicity conditions, under which the iconic dimensional conformations actually do conform authority ranking? When a pyramid brilliantly reflects sunlight, or an enormous bell peals, when and how are their percepts linked to an emperor who commanded them, rather than, say, the engineers or the workers who built them? Does sensitivity to the conformational effects of all ten dimensions emerge simultaneously in ontogeny? Why are these ten dimensions prevalent in conformations of authority ranking, but other dimensions, such as distance, apparently are not often used?

Old Comedy was performed at polis festivals by a citizen chorus but depicted non-elite individuals pursuing their personal goals by personal means, including their personal interactions with the divine. Since its characters are individual community members, comedy is uniquely suited to reflecting and exploring the relationship between polis and personal religion. Although many of the personal religious practices in comedy can be interpreted as comically incongruous, this is part of the genre’s characteristic transformation of lofty to low and civic to personal. The chapter shows that comedy does not merely depict but enacts personal religion. It glances briefly at oikos religion, philosophical religion, and foreign/non-established cults before focusing on personal divination, sacrifice, prayer, and religious practices relating to love and sex. A final section examines how comedy sometimes elevates personal religion to a polis level and sometimes reduces polis religion to a personal level. In all cases, a complex interrelationship of polis and personal religion becomes evident, but never one in which the latter is merely a subset of the former.

This chapter considers the work of major First Nations figures in Australian poetry – Oodgeroo, Kevin Gilbert, Mudrooroo and Lionel Fogarty – as well as poetry produced by current or former First Nations inmates of Australia’s prison system or about First Nations deaths in custody. The language of these poets is both politically activist and community enhancing. It argues that the effects of such poetry can be redemptive, empowering or visionary. It considers such poetry as testimony, discussing the ways in which First Nations writers have created a poetic language that might not have been available, which, in turn, creates a community of readers and listeners. For many First Nations prison inmates, poetry becomes a mean to ground Indigenous identity and reflect on their lives and relationships. From the 1990s, poets such as Samuel Wagan Watson, Romaine Moreton, Ali Cobby Eckermann and Yvette Holt have broken new ground with work highlighting Aboriginal selfhood in an evolving Australian society. The chapter concludes with a consideration of a younger and emergent generation of First Nations poets.

This chapter explores the key context in which food-related goods were used, seen, and kept by peasants: home. Attention is given to the physical appearance and internal organisation of peasant homes in late medieval Valencia, as well as to the place that daily meals occupied within peasants’ everyday activity, labour, and way of life. The purpose of this chapter is to set a basic framework for the rest of the chapters of Part I, on the usages and practices surrounding food-related objects.

We have seen how imagination can plausibly be taken to be part of a perceptual referential apparatus. Sensory imaginations therefore contribute to the fulfillment of an empirical intuition’s cognitive roles. The aim of the analysis in this chapter is three-fold: (1) to throw more light upon what is added by imagination to empirical cognition of objects, in the form of perceptual memories and quasi-perceptual anticipations – this is lower order objectification that goes beyond mere perceptual objectification in its own right but which may also be part of higher order objectification through concepts; (2) to show how imagination that mixes with perceptions may also lead to false perceptual judgments – misperception is a topic of this chapter, whereas hallucination is discussed in Chapter 9; (3) to bring out the lack of reality-character of fictional imaginations, even when these imitate perceptions, so as to throw more light upon the nature of perceptions.

Chapter 6 aims to help readers understand how variation and change affect language, so that translation practices and decisions are not based on personal biases and lay views about language but, rather, on a principled understanding of how language interacts with society. Another goal is to create awareness of the impact of social and use-related (contextual) factors on language so that translated texts respond to the requirements of the translation instructions. Other sociolinguistic notions reviewed in this chapter, along with their implications for translation are register, dialectal variation, socioeconomic variation, the nature of language change and variation, prestigious varieties vs. stigmatized varieties, and translating in multilingual societies. The discussion of register includes field of activity, medium and level of formality, as well as the implications for translation of not considering these within the context of the translation brief and translation norms. The connection between register selection and linguistic and translation competence is explained. Illustrative examples are used throughout the chapter.

Rather than view nineteenth-century Australian poetry as simply imitative of British models, this chapter examines how such poetry explored aspects of time and space in distinctive ways as well as from alternative perspectives. It considers how Charles Harpur conceptualised shifts in temporal scale, how Caroline Leakey questioned positioning and precedence, and how Eliza Dunlop engaged with the idea of distance that extended to aspects of the human condition more generally. It also analyses how writers such as Mary Bailey, Adam Lindsay Gordon, Henry Kendall and R. H. Horne (who lived in Australia for a substantial period) reconfigured classical and English literary traditions through antipodal positions that raised questions around heritage and history. The chapter then discusses women’s navigation of delimiting conventions of authorship. Lastly, the chapter considers how nineteenth-century Australian poetry started to voice nation in an embryonic form.

An account of the making of the Wooster Group’s Rumstick Road, an autobiographical inquiry into the circumstances and legacy of the suicide of Spalding Gray’s mother. (The production, in rehearsal in the fall and winter of 1976, held an open rehearsal in December before opening the following spring.) The chapter considers the Wooster Group’s approach to acting (distinct from the style of its predecessor, the Performance Group), the visual art sources for the production’s imagery and structure, the use of recording technology, the role of the spectator, and the nature of privacy.
