Paul Schaefer Collection, 1870-1997
No full textThe Paul Schaefer collection consists of ca. 62 cu ft of correspondence, maps, litigation manuscripts, legislative documents, pamphlets, circulars, published materials, photographic material, audio recordings, video recordings, and art prints. The collection is in good condition, however some of the material exhibits water or insect damage. The dates within the collection range from 1870 to1997, with the bulk of the collection falling between 1940 and 1997. This collection documents Schaefer\u27s lengthy career as an environmental grass roots organizer and author, his work in home building and historic restoration projects, and his family life.https://digitalworks.union.edu/arl_findingaids/1036/thumbnail.jp
Reproducibility and stability of neuromagnetic source imaging in primary somatosensory cortex
No full textThe present study investigated the test-retest reliability of magnetoencephalography (MEG) source localization of somatosensory evoked fields (SEFs) over an extended time period. Five healthy subjects were stimulated pneumatically at the first and fifth digit in two sessions spaced several months apart. At each location 400 stimuli were presented. The validation of the results was performed by overlay of the dipole localizations into the individual anatomic structure of the subjects'' cortex by the use of magnetic resonance images (MRIs). The source localizations of the SEF component were found to be highly reproducible. The mean standard deviation of the dipole locations of the first digit was 1.55 mm in the x-, 1.55 mm in the y- and 3.49 mm in the z-direction. The mean standard deviation of the fifth digit was 3.69 mm in the x-, 4.27 mm in the y- and 6.60 mm in the z-direction. These results support the use of MEG recordings combined with MRI as an adequate method to define the organization of the human primary somatosensory cortex and provide a useful approach to the rapid detection of neuroplasticity
A meta-analysis of structural brain abnormalities in PTSD
No full textThis series of meta-analyses examined structural abnormalities of the hippocampus and other brain regions in persons with PTSD compared to trauma-exposed and non-exposed control groups. The findings were significantly smaller hippocampal volumes in persons with PTSD compared to controls with and without trauma exposure, but group differences were moderated by MRI methodology, PTSD severity, medication, age and gender. Trauma-exposed persons without PTSD also showed significantly smaller bilateral hippocampal compared to non-exposed controls. Meta-analyses also found significantly smaller left amygdala volumes in adults with PTSD compared to both healthy and trauma-exposed controls, and significantly smaller anterior cingulate cortex compared to trauma-exposed controls. Pediatric samples with PTSD exhibited significantly smaller corpus callosum and frontal lobe volumes compared to controls, but there were no group differences in hippocampal volume. The overall findings suggested a dimensional, developmental psychopathology systems model in which: (1) hippocampal volumetric differences covary with PTSD severity; (2) hippocampal volumetric differences do not become apparent until adulthood; and (3) PTSD is associated with abnormalities in multiple frontal–limbic system structures
The Political Philosophy of Montaigne
No full textThis provocative book provides a comprehensive interpretation of Montaigne\u27s Essays as a work of political philosophy. David Lewis Schaefer diverges from the prevailing view, which prizes the Essays as an example of authentic literary self-portrayal but holds that the book is not a coherent philosophical work. Arguing for Montaigne\u27s significance as one of the philosophic architects of the intellectual revolution that generated the distinctive characteristics of modernity, Schaefer demonstrates the extent to which Montaigne was a systematic, radical, and political thinker. For the 2018 second printing, the author has included a list of his most important publications on Montaigne since this book\u27s original publication

He studied chemistry and attended a textile school. In 1905 he entered the cotton spinning-mill of his grandfather Salomon Kauffmann in Wuestegiersdorf (today Głuszyca, Poland). Between 1918 and 1933 Schaefer was its director. He and his Gentile wife emigrated to Holland in 1939.Brief summary in Max Kreutzberger: "Leo Baeck Institute New York, Bibliothek und Archiv; Katalog": C 348Published in Monika Richarz: "Juedisches Leben in Deutschland": Vol. II 23Domestic life; 19th cent.Education; primary and secondary; 1871-1918Franc
