The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich

No other powerful empire ever bequeathed such mountains of evidence about its birth and destruction as the Third Reich. When the bitter war was over, and before the Nazis could destroy their files, the Allied demand for unconditional surrender produced an almost hour-by-hour record of the nightmare empire built by Adolph Hitler. This record included the testimony of Nazi leaders and of concentration camp inmates, the diaries of officials, transcripts of secret conferences, army orders, private letters—all the vast paperwork behind Hitler\u27s drive to conquer the world.https://scholar.dominican.edu/cynthia-stokes-brown-books-american-history/1082/thumbnail.jp

Kebangkitan dan Kejatuhan Adolf Hitler

Wartawan dan penulis Amerika, William L. Shirer, adalah seorang jurnalis dan koresponden selama enam tahun pada masa Nazi Jerman-dia mendapatkan kursi terdepan pada saat naiknya Hitler ke atas kekuasaan. Karyanya yang paling dikenal, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, adalah buku memukau yang mengisahkan pengalaman seorang yang menyaksikan pidato-pidato Hitler yang berapi-api dan hidup di negara yang diubah oleh perang dan kediktatoran.Awalnya, Shirer ditugaskan menulis buku ini untuk pembaca dewasa muda, sebuah alternatf terhadap The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. Namun, pada akhirnya buku ini tidak menghilangkan kesegaran. Ia mengungkap gambar kemunculan Hitler dari kabut ketidakjelasan, kengerian pembunuhan massal Nazi Jerman, dan paranoia serta kegilaan yang menandai kejatuhan Hitler. Buku ini sangat penting bagi mereka yang tertarik kepada kisah-kisah tak umum dalam sejarah Perang Dunia II

Disentangling dynamic networks: Separated and joint expressions of functional connectivity patterns in time

r r Abstract: Resting-state functional connectivity (FC) is highly variable across the duration of a scan. Groups of coevolving connections, or reproducible patterns of dynamic FC (dFC), have been revealed in fluctuating FC by applying unsupervised learning techniques. Based on results from k-means clustering and sliding-window correlations, it has recently been hypothesized that dFC may cycle through several discrete FC states. Alternatively, it has been proposed to represent dFC as a linear combination of multi-ple FC patterns using principal component analysis. As it is unclear whether sparse or nonsparse combi-nations of FC patterns are most appropriate, and as this affects their interpretation and use as markers of cognitive processing, the goal of our study was to evaluate the impact of sparsity by performing an empirical evaluation of simulated, task-based, and resting-state dFC. To this aim, we applied matrix fac-torizations subject to variable constraints in the temporal domain and studied both the reproducibility of ensuing representations of dFC and the expression of FC patterns over time. During subject-driven tasks, dFC was well described by alternating FC states in accordance with the nature of the data. The estimated FC patterns showed a rich structure with combinations of known functional networks enabling accurate identification of three different tasks. During rest, dFC was better described by multiple FC patterns tha

Gender Modulates the APOE ε4 Effect in Healthy Older Adults: Convergent Evidence from Functional Brain Connectivity and Spinal Fluid Tau Levels

We examined whether the effect of APOE genotype on functional brain connectivity is modulated by gender in healthy older human adults. Our results confirm significantly decreased connectivity in the default mode network in healthy older APOE ε4 carriers compared to ε3 homozygotes. More importantly, further testing revealed a significant interaction between APOE genotype and gender in the precuneus, a major default mode hub. Female ε4 carriers showed significantly reduced default mode connectivity compared to either female ε3 homozygotes or male ε4 carriers, whereas male ε4 carriers differed minimally from male ε3 homozygotes. An additional analysis in an independent sample of healthy elderly using an independent marker of Alzheimer’s disease, i.e. spinal fluid levels of tau, provided corresponding evidence for this gender by APOE interaction. Taken together, these results converge with previous work showing a higher prevalence of the ε4 allele among women with Alzheimer’s disease and, critically, demonstrate that this interaction between APOE genotype and gender is detectable in the preclinical period
