To this end, it is my pleasure as the President of the AANP, to welcome you to the AANP’s 95th Annual Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia. This year’s conference will not only connect attendees with key leaders but will serve to provide the latest insights into revolutionary research and front-line science. You can expect a riveting scientific experience over the course of the Annual Meeting, leading off with a one-day Special Course on Thursday dedicated to the “Unintended Consequences: The Iatrogenic Neuropathology of Systemic Therapies.” Friday and Saturday will be full days of scientific platform and poster sessions, allowing you to learn and discuss topics across the breadth of our discipline. This presentation of new research will be complemented by the DeArmond, Korey and Parisi lectures. Saturday evening will also include the Diagnostic Slide Session and wrapping up the Annual Meeting on Sunday will be a half-day Presidential Symposium titled “New Ways of Looking at the Brain – What Can Neuropathologists See” which will include the Moore lecture. Education is not the only aspect of the meeting, as attendees will have plenty of time to network with new colleagues and socialize with long-time friends, reaffirming relationships and expanding connections with neuropathologists around the world. Our annual meeting also provides the opportunity for trainees and others at the start of their careers to meet the leaders of the community as well as each other. Attendees will also have time to explore the exhibit space and discuss the high-quality products and services available to neuropathologists with the exhibitor representatives. I would like to thank the exhibitors for their presence and support of the AANP and urge each of you to personally thank the exhibitors for joining us at the 95th Annual Meeting, as their support is important to our association. I look forward to seeing you all and sharing knowledge and insights, as we strive to promote discovery and advancement in our field. As my term as President winds down, it is my hope that the Annual Meeting is rewarding, memorable, and leaves you with elevated energy and new ideas to drive the profession forward. I look forward to seeing you in Atlanta for the AANP’s 95th Annual Meeting. Sincerely, Matthew P. Frosch, MD, PhD President The American Association of Neuropathologists 3 | P a g e Save the Date!

  • Navigating the Landscape of Conflict: Applications of Dynamical Systems Theory to Addressing Protracted Conflict
    Dynamics of Intractable Conflict Peter T. Coleman, PhD Robin Vallacher, PhD Andrzej Nowak, PhD International Center for Cooperation and Conflict Resolution Teachers College, Columbia University New York, NY, USA Why are some intergroup conflicts impossible to solve and what can we do to address them? “…one of the things that frustrates me about this conflict, thinking about this conflict, is that people don’t realize the complexity… how many stakeholders there are in there…I think there is a whole element to this particular conflict to where you start the story, to where you begin the narrative, and clearly it’s whose perspective you tell it from…One of the things that’s always struck me is that there are very compelling narratives to this conflict and all are true, in as much as anything is true… I think the complexity is on so many levels…It’s a complexity of geographic realities…the complexities are in the relationships…it has many different ethnic pockets… and I think it’s fighting against a place, where particularly in the United States, in American culture, we want to simplify, we want easy answers…We want to synthesize it down to something that people can wrap themselves around and take a side on…And maybe sometimes I feel overwhelmed…” (Anonymous Palestinian, 2002) Four Basic Themes An increasing degree of complexity and interdependence of elements. An underlying proclivity for change, development, and evolution within people and social-physical systems. Extraordinary cognitive, emotional, and behavioral demands…anxiety, hopelessness.

  • Introductory Course on Dynamical Systems Theory and Intractable Conflict DST Course Objectives
    Introductory Course on Dynamical Systems Theory and Intractable Conflict Peter T. Coleman Columbia University December 2012 This self-guided 4-part course will introduce the relevance of dynamical systems theory for understanding, investigating, and resolving protracted social conflict at different levels of social reality (interpersonal, inter-group, international). It views conflicts as dynamic processes whose evolution reflects a complex interplay of factors operating at different levels and timescales. The goal for the course is to help develop a basic understanding of the dynamics underlying the development and transformation of intractable conflict. DST Course Objectives Participants in this class will: Learn the basic ideas and methods associated with dynamical systems. Learn the relevance of dynamical systems for personal and interpersonal processes. Learn the implications of dynamical models for understanding and investigating conflict of different types and at different levels of social reality. Learn to think about conflict in a manner that allows for new and testable means of conflict resolution. Foundational Texts Nowak, A. & Vallacher, R. R. (1998). Dynamical social psychology.

Grijalva Professor of Biomedical Sciences Joseph Shields Dean, Graduate College 3 Abstract NIETO-SANCHEZ, CLAUDIA, Ph.D., December 2017, Individual Interdisciplinary Program, Health Communication and Public Health Towards a Theory of Sustainable Prevention of Chagas Disease: An Ethnographic Grounded Theory Study Directors of Dissertation: Benjamin Bates and Mario J. Grijalva Chagas disease (CD) is caused by a protozoan parasite called Trypanosoma cruzi found in the hindgut of triatomine bugs. The most common route of human transmission of CD occurs in poorly constructed homes where triatomines can remain hidden in cracks and crevices during the day and become active at night to search for blood sources. As a neglected tropical disease (NTD), it has been demonstrated that sustainable control of Chagas disease requires attention to structural conditions of life of populations exposed to the vector. This research aimed to explore the conditions under which health promotion interventions based on systemic approaches to disease prevention can lead to sustainable control of Chagas disease in southern Ecuador.

  • A Look Into the Nature of Complex Systems and Beyond “Stonehenge” Economics: Coping with Complexity Or Ignoring It in Applied Economics?
    AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS Agricultural Economics 37 (2007) 219–235 A look into the nature of complex systems and beyond “Stonehenge” economics: coping with complexity or ignoring it in applied economics? Chris Noell∗ Department of Agricultural Economics, University of Kiel, Germany Received 27 October 2006; received in revised form 23 July 2007; accepted 27 July 2007 Abstract Real-world economic systems are complex in general but can be approximated by the “open systems” approach. Economic systems are very likely to possess the basic and advanced emergent properties (e.g., self-organized criticality, fractals, attractors) of general complex systems.The theory of “self-organized criticality” is proposed as a major source of dynamic equilibria and complexity in economic systems. This is exemplified in an analysis for self-organized criticality of Danish agricultural subsectors, indicated by power law distributions of the monetary production value for the time period from 1963 to 1999. Major conclusions from the empirical part are: (1) The sectors under investigation are obviously self-organizing and thus very likely to show a range of complex properties. (2) The characteristics of the power law distributions that were measured might contain further information about the state or graduation of self-organization in the sector. Varying empirical results for different agricultural sectors turned out to be consistent with the theory of self-organized criticality. (3) Fully self-organizing sectors might be economically the most efficient. Finally,

  • Music at the Edge of Chaos: a Complex Systems Perspective on File Sharing
    Music at the Edge of Chaos: A Complex Systems Perspective on File Sharing Deborah Tussey∗ I. INTRODUCTION The twin developments of digital copying and global networking technologies have drastically transformed the information environment and have produced particularly acute dislocations in the music recording industry. The perceived threat to the industry posed by peer-to-peer (“P2P”) file sharing has inspired numerous proposals for legislative action, many involving major adjustments to or even abandonment of the copyright regime. Contemporary file sharing arose in the context of a system designed to produce and distribute musical recordings. This article approaches the issue of file sharing regulation1 by applying complexity theory and related principles of systems analysis to that system. Systems both occur naturally and result from human design.2 Complexity theory provides a conceptual model for a particular category of systems—complex adaptive systems3—and their evolution ∗ Associate Professor, Oklahoma City University School of Law.

  • Jacob and Louise Gabbay Award in Biotechnology and Medicine in 2016 to Honor Jacob’S Wife, Louise Gabbay, Who Was Instrumental in Founding the Award
    JACOB AND LOUISE JACOB AND LOUISE GABBAY AWARDGABBAY AWARD IN BIOTECHNOLOGY IN BIOTECHNOLOGYAND MEDICINE AND MEDICINE PRESENTATION CEREMONY 19th THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2016 Annual WALTHAM, MASS. BRANDEIS UNIVERSITY Early in 1998, the trustees of the Jacob and Louise Gabbay Foundation decided to establish a major new award in basic and applied biomedical sciences. The foundation felt that existing scientific awards tended to honor people who were already well-recognized or to focus on work that had its primary impact in traditional basic research fields. Yet the history of science suggests that most scientific revolu- tions are sparked by advances in practical areas such as instrumentation and techniques or through entrepreneurial endeavors. The foundation therefore created the Jacob Heskel Gabbay Award in Biotechnology and Medicine to recognize, as early as possible in their careers, scientists in academia, medicine or industry whose work had both outstanding scientific content and significant practical consequences in the biomedical sciences. The award was renamed the Jacob and Louise Gabbay Award in Biotechnology and Medicine in 2016 to honor Jacob’s wife, Louise Gabbay, who was instrumental in founding the award. Because of their long association with Brandeis University, the trustees of the foundation asked the Rosenstiel Basic Medical Sciences Research Center at Brandeis to administer the award. The award, given annually, consists of a $15,000 cash prize (to be shared in the case of multiple winners) and a medallion. The honorees travel to Brandeis University each fall to present lectures on their work and attend a dinner at which the formal commendation takes place. This year, a committee of distinguished scientists selected Jeffery Kelly of the Scripps Research Institute for his profound and paradigm-shifting contri- butions to our understanding of protein-folding mechanisms and protein-folding diseases.

  • The BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award Goes to the Architects of Optogenetics, Which Uses Light to Probe and Modulate the Workings of the Brain
    Three neuroscientists win the Biomedicine award The BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award goes to the architects of optogenetics, which uses light to probe and modulate the workings of the brain Edward Boyden, Karl Deisseroth and Gero Miesenböck developed and refined a technique that employs light to activate and inactivate proteins in the brain cells, making it possible to modulate their activity with unprecedented precision Optogenetics is now a widely used tool being applied to elucidate functions like sleep, appetite and movement or reward circuits in addiction The awardees all emphasize the basic knowledge underpinning the technique, which, they say, will eventually yield new opportunities in the clinic Madrid, January 26, 2016.- The BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in Biomedicine goes in this eighth edition to neuroscientists Edward Boyden, Karl Deisseroth and Gero Miesenböck for the development of optogenetics, a method to study brain function with unprecedented resolution. In a bare five years, thousands of groups the world over have begun using optogenetics to investigate functions like sleep, appetite, decision-making, temporal perception or the creation of memories, and elucidate the mechanisms of conditions such as epilepsy, Parkinson’s, depression and certain forms of blindness. The beauty of optogenetics is that it allows the selective control of neural activity simply by applying light of the right wavelength. Before, the most widely used methods to study the living brain could modulate the activity of hundreds of thousands of neurons, but with little selectivity. With optogenetics, it is possible to act exclusively on neurons treated previously with light-sensitive proteins, according to the behavior being tested.

University of British Columbia). Available at: https://open.library.ubc.ca/collections/ubctheses/24/items/1.0077782 Most people define learning too narrowly as mere “problem-solving”, so they focus on identifying and correcting errors in the external environment. Solving problems is important. But if learning is to persist, managers and employees must also look inward. They need to reflect critically on their own behaviour, identify the ways they often inadvertently contribute to the organisation’s problems, and then change how they act.

Stange 11 and Manuel Wolff 7,8 ABSTRACT. Urban green and blue space interventions may bring about unintended consequences, involving trade-offs between the different land uses, and indeed, between the needs of different urban inhabitants, land users, and owners. Such trade-offs include choices between green/blue and non-green/blue projects, between broader land sparing vs. land sharing patterns, between satisfying the needs of the different inhabitants, but also between different ways of arranging the green and blue spaces. We analyze investment and planning initiatives in six case-study cities related to green and blue infrastructure (GBI) through the lens of a predefined set of questions—an analytical framework based on the assumption that the flows of benefits from GBI to urban inhabitants and other stakeholders are mediated by three filters: infrastructures, institutions, and perceptions.
