Pharmacotherapy and clinical considerations for alcohol use disorder by Gezelle Dali, Joshua Watt, Paul S. Haber, Kirsten C. Morley

“…Second-line medications such as topiramate, baclofen, and gabapentin provide an option for individuals with alcohol use disorder who do not respond to first-line treatments; however, evidence for their efficacy is weaker than that of frontline options. The implementation of pharmacotherapy in clinical practice and the development of personalized medicine are of particular concern, given most individuals with alcohol use disorder are not offered medication. …”

Gandhi: A Man for our Times? by Judith Brown

“… Following my earlier collaboration with Martin Prozesky, my essay links with three major concerns in Prozesky’s work as he has engaged with a radical critique of religious traditions and structures in the South African context of the end of apartheid: the involvement of dominant religious traditions in sustaining power structures and inequality; the nexus between religious beliefs and organizations and violence; and the failure of many ‘religions’ to meet the needs of serious seekers after meaning and truth. In this context, I examine the life and thought of M.K. …”

Polarization-based puncturing pattern selection of shortened Polar code by Shunlan LIU, Aiming HU, Jianrong BAO

“…In order to solve the problem of inflexible Polar code length,a new puncturing pattern selection scheme based on feedback cost puncturing was proposed to generate shortened Polar codes.In this scheme,the Polarization effect was reserved,the sub-optimal subchannel was selected as the cost bit,the output bit corresponding to the cost bit was used as the puncturing pattern,and then the value of the cost bit is adjusted by feedback to obtain the shortened Polar code.Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed shortened Polar code is better than that of the shortened Polar code generated by bit-reversal permutation method,and the shortened Polar codes generated by direct puncturing method at the end under different channel and code rate conditions,and slightly weaker than that of the shortened Polar code proposed by Wang R and Liu R et al.In the AGWN channel,when the block error rate is 10^-3,the proposed shortened Polar code with a code rate of 0.5 can obtain a gain of 0.5 dB compared with the shortened Polar code generated by bit-reversal permutation method,and the coding performance is greatly improved.…”
