“Figurations of the Nation in in the Early Modern Period” is a research platform at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz. This platform is an interdisciplinary association of researchers exploring the processes of nation building, starting with the early stages in the late Middle Ages and ending around the beginning of the 19th century.

Rather, the aim is to take into greater account the plurality of complementary and at times competing affiliations and means of identification, characteristic of this period. Within individual …
Heart rate variability during sleep in patients with schizophrenia treated with olanzapine.
Cardiac adverse events in patients treated with atypical antipsychotics have gained increasing interest in recent years. In the present study, heart rate variability (HRV), which is a sensitive parameter reflecting central autonomic cardiac control, was investigated during treatment with olanzapine. Ten physically healthy male patients with schizophrenia, who displayed predominantly negative symptoms, were studied in the sleep laboratory under drug-free baseline conditions and after 4 weeks of olanzapine medication. HRV was assessed during different sleep stages both in the time and frequency domains. Only slight changes in HRV were shown during treatment, and appeared to be independent of …
