Essentials of Regenerative Medicine in Interventional Pain Management
by Laxmaiah ManchikantiRegenerative medicine is an emerging and integral part of interventional pain management and meets definitions of interventional pain management and interventional techniques. Interventional techniques are defined as minimally invasive procedures including, percutaneous precision needle placement, with placement of drugs in targeted areas or ablation of targeted nerves; and some surgical techniques such as laser or endoscopic diskectomy, intrathecal infusion pumps, and spinal cord stimulators, for the diagnosis and management of chronic, persistent, or intractable pain. On the same token, interventional pain management is defined as the discipline of medicine devoted to the diagnosis and treatment of pain related disorders principally with the application of interventional techniques in managing subacute, chronic, persistent, and intractable pain, independently or in conjunction with other modalities of treatment.This new edition brings a wide array of information for interventional pain physicians and other physicians practicing regenerative medicine with its applications in managing chronic pain and other disorders. The structure of the book begins with an introduction of the subject, followed by sections on historical context, pathophysiology, applicability of regenerative medicine with its evidence base, anatomy, technical aspects, complications, and precautions for each topic when available and applicable. From across the globe, leading experts in their respective fields contributed chapters on specific topics to present a cogent and integrative understanding of the field of regenerative medicine as applicable for interventional pain physicians. This comprehensive text achieves its goal of providing an evidence-based approach to application of principles of regenerative medicine in managing chronic pain of spinal, neurological, and musculoskeletal origins.
Pedagogical Encounters in the Post-Anthropocene, Volume 1: Childhood, Environment, Indigeneity (Palgrave Studies in Educational Futures)
by jan jagodzinskiThis volume, the first of a two volume set, addresses three major areas in response to the post-Anthropocene: childhood, environment and indigeneity. Each of these areas is broadly addressed in relation to the concerns that have arisen both theoretically and educationally. The author terms these to be encounters as each area presents a particular problematic when addressing the phase change that the planet is undergoing where the anthropogenic labour of global humanity is contributing to climate change, endangering our very existence. There has been a concerted effort to overcome the nature-culture divide in education. The author reviews this development in the first section where there has been a particular emphasis placed on childhood education. In the second section he turns to the pedagogical theories that are attempting to overcome this same divide in environmental and science education. The last section attempts to bring into the conversation the vast literature on Indigeneity and their attempts to revise traditional education to meet these extraordinary times.

Artificial Intelligence and Visualization: Advancing Visual Knowledge Discovery (Studies in Computational Intelligence #1126)
by Kawa Nazemi Boris Kovalerchuk Răzvan Andonie Nuno Datia Ebad BannissiThis book continues a series of Springer publications devoted to the emerging field of Integrated Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning with Visual Knowledge Discovery and Visual Analytics that combine advances in both fields. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning face long-standing challenges of explainability and interpretability that underpin trust. Such attributes are fundamental to both decision-making and knowledge discovery. Models are approximations and, at best, interpretations of reality that are transposed to algorithmic form. A visual explanation paradigm is critically important to address such challenges, as current studies demonstrate in salience analysis in deep learning for images and texts. Visualization means are generally effective for discovering and explaining high-dimensional patterns in all high-dimensional data, while preserving data properties and relations in visualizations is challenging. Recent developments, such as in General Line Coordinates, open new opportunities to address such challenges.This book contains extended papers presented in 2021 and 2022 at the International Conference on Information Visualization (IV) on AI and Visual Analytics, with 18 chapters from international collaborators. The book builds on the previous volume, published in 2022 in the Studies in Computational Intelligence. The current book focuses on the following themes: knowledge discovery with lossless visualizations, AI/ML through visual knowledge discovery with visual analytics case studies application, and visual knowledge discovery in text mining and natural language processing. The intended audience for this collection includes but is not limited to developers of emerging AI/machine learning and visualization applications, scientists, practitioners, and research students. It has multiple examples of the current integration of AI/machine learning and visualization for visual knowledge discovery, visual analytics, and text and natural language processing. The book provides case examples for future directions in this domain. New researchers find inspiration to join the profession of the field of AI/machine learning through a visualization lens.

Erinnerung des Umbruchs, Umbruch der Erinnerung: Die Nachwendezeit im deutschen und ostmitteleuropäischen Gedächtnis (Soziales Gedächtnis, Erinnern und Vergessen – Memory Studies)
by Hanna Haag Till HilmarWem gehört die ostdeutsche Nachwendezeit? Diese Frage steht zunehmend im Zentrum politischer Polarisierungsprozesse und Wertkonflikte in Deutschland. Seitdem sich die Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) als „Stimme“ des Ostens erfunden hat – „Wende 2.0“ plakatierte die Partei im Osten bei den Landtagswahlen 2019 – erhielt der Deutungskampf um die Erinnerung an die friedliche Revolution von 1989/90 und die Transformation von DDR-Staatssozialismus zur bundesdeutschen Marktwirtschaft eine neue Qualität.Dieser Band trägt sozialwissenschaftliche Perspektiven zusammen, die die Hintergründe dieser Entwicklungen erhellen und stellt den „ostdeutschen Sonderfall“ in Relation zu ostmitteleuropäischen Transformationsprozessen.Die Nachwendezeit ist heute selbst ein Raum der Erinnerung: Schlüsselerfahrungen der 1990er Jahre werden mit Bedeutungen versehen, die über den Erfahrungshorizont von Einzelpersonen hinausweisen.
