In the late 1980s, an increasing proportion of all prescribed medicines went to people over 65 years of age, not only because they constituted a growing sector of the population but also because their consumption rate, unlike that of younger people was increasing. This increase was therefore a matter for widespread concern which had until now been largely speculative, as no recent national survey had focused on this issue.Originally published in 1988, Ann Cartwright and Christopher Smith looked at the medicines prescribed for, and taken by, a nationally representative sample of elderly people. The experiences and views of both patients (elderly people) and professionals (general practitioners) are examined and related. What is revealed is how much, and how little GPs knew about the social circumstances and medicine taking of their elderly patients. Evaluation of all the prescribed medicines taken shows the extent of elderly people’s knowledge of their medication and identifies duplications, potentially harmful interactions, contraindications, and inappropriate dosages. Recommendations for action to be taken by doctors, pharmacists, medical educators, and elderly people themselves made this book essential reading for all those concerned with the health and welfare of elderly people at the time.

Niniejsza praca koncentruje się na wplywie r żnych czynnik w stanowych (wiek, używanie alkoholu) i cechowych (plec, genetyka) na tendencję do wybierania natychmiastowej nagrody (teraz) (wybieranie "teraz" zamiast "p źniej") u ludzi. Zrozumienie zmiennych wplywających na tendencję do wybierania natychmiastowej nagrody jest ważne, ponieważ sugeruje się, że pelni ona rolę pośredniego fenotypu w przypadku nadużywania narkotyk w. W niniejszej pracy uzupelniam ten zbi r danych, wykazując, że dorośli spożywający duże ilości alkoholu, ale niecierpiący na zaburzenia związane z używaniem alkoholu (AUD), wykazują tendencję do wybierania natychmiastowej nagrody, kt ra jest w przybliżeniu r wna tendencji obserwowanej u doroslych z AUD. Stwierdzono r wnież, że dorośli spożywający niewielkie ilości alkoholu, ale mający w rodzinie przypadki AUD, wykazują tendencję do wybierania natychmiastowej nagrody, kt ra jest w przybliżeniu r wna tendencji obserwowanej Ponadto stwierdziliśmy, że tendencja do natychmiastowej gratyfikacji generalnie zmniejsza się wraz z wiekiem u os b pijących malo/umiarkowanie, co sugeruje potencjalną rolę dojrzewania m zgu (kt re osiąga asymptotę w wieku okolo dwudziestu pięciu lat, kiedy to obserwujemy r wnież zmiany w tendencji do natychmiastowej gratyfikacji w wieku okolo 26 lat).

Ce travail se concentre sur les effets de divers facteurs li s l' tat ( ge, consommation d'alcool) et aux traits de caract re (sexe, g n tique) sur le biais de r compense imm diate (maintenant) (choisir maintenant plut t que plus tard ) chez les sujets humains. Il est important de comprendre les variables qui influencent le biais en faveur du pr sent, car celui-ci serait un ph notype interm diaire de la toxicomanie. Je compl te ici cet ensemble de donn es en montrant que les adultes qui consomment beaucoup d'alcool sans souffrir d'un trouble li la consommation d'alcool (TCA) ont un biais en faveur de la r compense imm diate qui est peu pr s gal celui observ chez les adultes souffrant d'un TCA. Les adultes qui consomment peu d'alcool et qui ont des ant c dents familiaux de TCA pr sentent galement un biais en faveur de la r compense imm diate qui est peu pr s gal celui observ chez les adultes souffrant d'un TCA. En outre, nous avons constat que le biais de r compense imm diate diminue g n ralement avec l' ge chez les buveurs mod r s, ce qui sugg re un r le potentiel de la maturation c r brale (qui atteint son asymptote vers le milieu de la vingtaine, o l'on observe galement des changements dans le biais de r compense imm diate vers l' ge de 26 ans). De plus, nous montrons qu'un polymorphisme g n tique affectant la signalisation de la dopamine et l'hormone f minine estradiol module le biais de r compense imm diate.

What is going on when a graphic novel has a twelfth-century samurai pick up a telephone to make a call, or a play has an ancient aristocrat teaching in a present-day schoolroom? Rather than regarding such anachronisms as errors, Samurai with Telephones develops a theory of how texts can use different types of anachronisms to challenge or rewrite history, play with history, or open history up to new possibilities. By applying this theoretical framework of anachronism to several Japanese literary and cultural works, author Christopher Smith demonstrates how different texts can use anachronism to open up history for a wide variety of different textual projects. From the modern period, this volume examines literature by Mori Ogai and Oe Kenzaburo, manga by Tezuka Osamu, art by Murakami Takashi, and a variety of other pop cultural works. Turning to the Early Modern period (Edo period, 1600–1868), which produced a literature rich with playful anachronism, he also examines several Kabuki and Bunraku plays, kibyoshi comic books, and gokan illustrated novels. In analyzing these works, he draws a distinction between anachronisms that attempt to hide their work on history and convincingly rewrite it and those conspicuous anachronisms that highlight and disrupt the construction of historical narratives.
