THE “SOCIAL QUESTION,” 1820–1920
In 1921, John A. Ryan, a priest and professor at Catholic University in Washington, DC, and one of his students, the Reverend Raymond McGowan, published A Catechism of the Social Question. The first question in it reads, “What do we mean by the social question?” Answer: “A question denotes a problem or a difficulty which demands solution. A social question is one that concerns society, or a social group. The social question means certain evils and grievances affecting the wage-earning classes, and calling for removal or remedy.”

The age of questions or, A first attempt at an aggregate history of the Eastern, social, woman, American, Jewish, Polish, bullion, tuberculosis, and many other questions over the nineteenth century, and beyond
\"In the early nineteenth century, a new age began: the age of questions. In the Eastern and Belgian questions, as much as in the slavery, worker, social, woman, and Jewish questions, contemporaries saw not interrogatives to be answered but problems to be solved. Alexis de Tocqueville, Victor Hugo, Karl Marx, Frederick Douglass, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Rosa Luxemburg, and Adolf Hitler were among the many who put their pens to the task. The Age of Questions asks how the question form arose, what trajectory it followed, and why it provoked such feverish excitement for over a century. Was there a family resemblance between questions? Have they disappeared, or are they on the rise again in our time? In this pioneering book, Holly Case undertakes a stunningly original analysis, presenting, chapter by chapter, seven distinct arguments and frameworks for understanding the age. She considers whether it was marked by a progressive quest for emancipation (of women, slaves, Jews, laborers, and others); a steady, inexorable march toward genocide and the \"Final Solution\"; or a movement toward federation and the dissolution of boundaries. Or was it simply a farce, a false frenzy dreamed up by publicists eager to sell subscriptions? As the arguments clash, patterns emerge and sharpen until the age reveals its full and peculiar nature. Turning convention on its head with meticulous and astonishingly broad scholarship, The Age of Questions illuminates how patterns of thinking move history.\"-- Dust jacket.

Introduction: Austria-Hungary as Ancien régime du jour
In June 2007, the mayor of Kikinda in northeastern Serbia wanted to change the municipal coat of arms. The shield depicts a severed Turk's head impaled on a sabre held by an armored arm against a red background. It dates to the reign of Habsburg Empress Maria Theresa and was meant to honor the region's significance in battles against the Ottoman Empire. But in 2007, Mayor Branislav Blažić—a member of Serbia's ultra-nationalist Radical Party founded by the poet-paramilitary Vojislav Šešelj in 1991—said the coat of arms seemed “morbid” and that it had been unpleasant to hand out his business card during an official visit to Turkey.

The Strange Politics of Federative Ideas in East-Central Europe
In 1940, James Shotwell introduced a book on Balkan federation with the words that the page of European history with which this volume deals is one so out of keeping with the major trend of that history at the present time as to seem utterly unreal. Shotwell assumed a basic incompatibility between the ideal of federation and the violence of war that was consuming Europe at the time. Nor was he alone in holding that view. The war seemed to force federalism into the back- ground, relegating federalist ideas and idealists to an impotent exile Meanwhile, the right-its very essence rooted in conflict between nations-was having its way in Europe. Here, Case explores how incompatible federative schemes were with the radicalism of the right leading up to, during, and just after the Second World War.

The Great Substitution
The same year (1877) Dostoyevsky wrote his famous short story, 'The Dream of a Ridiculous Man', in which the title character has to leave the planet and actively participate in the Fall from Grace in order to renew his faith in humanity, the Russian writer was also preoccupied with a problem of a different sort. Why was it, he wondered, that 'all the most important questions of Europe and humanity generally in our age are always raised simultaneously. [...] [T]his very simultaneity is striking.'

One-on-one care management and procurement of Naloxone for ambulatory use
Morbidity and mortality from prescription opioids has reached unprecedented levels. Opioids remain part of chronic pain treatment in primary care. This study was designed to determine whether one-on-one care management increases procurement of Naloxone, an opioid antagonist shown to reduce morbidity and mortality in opioid overdoses.
Participants included all patients ≥18 years enrolled in a primary care-based chronic pain management program and who were prescribed a daily dose of opioids for treatment of chronic pain. In total, 153 patients chose to participate. Each had a 1 h one-on-one education meeting with a registered nurse.
Among the enrolled, eight patients (5.2%) had procured Naloxone prior to intervention. Overall, 31 additional patients (20.2%) procured Naloxone after intervention, a 288% relative improvement in the attainment of Naloxone (P < 0.0001) (χ2 = 29.032 with 1 degree freedom). Of the 114 participants who never procured Naloxone, 69.3% believed it was unnecessary, 20% forgot about Naloxone, 8% said it was cost prohibitive, 3.5% had access concerns and 0.9% had concerns about side effects.
Direct one-on-one nurse care management sessions were associated with an increased procurement of Naloxone in a primary care-based pain management program. A significant number of patients believed Naloxone was unnecessary after the intervention.

Reconstruction in East-Central Europe: Clearing the Rubble of Cold War Politics
Case discusses the reconstruction in East-Central Europe. When the economic crisis hit in 2008, a number of Western European political figures were quick to condemn new members for dragging down the whole of the Union, as politicians and economists spoke of a renewed 'division of Europe'. At the root of this 'division' has been the presumed Sonderweg of East-Central European states, who, it is often assumed, missed out on a critical aspect of post-war European experience: the process of economic reconstruction. During the era of perestroika and glasnost in the 1980s, some even speculated that there might be a second chance, another Marshall Plan forthcoming that would correct the historical detour taken by these states. Moreover, he propose that people not assume coherence of Western Europe as a category, nor of Eastern Europe, without more critical study of similarities and differences within and between individual states' economic strategies and performance and over a longer stretch of time.

Territorial revisionism and the allies of Germany in the Second World War
A few years after the Nazis came to power in Germany, an alliance of states and nationalistic movements formed, revolving around the German axis. That alliance, the states involved, and the interplay between their territorial aims and those of Germany during the interwar period and World War II are at the core of this volume. This \"territorial revisionism\" came to include all manner of politics and military measures that attempted to change existing borders. Taking into account not just interethnic relations but also the motivations of states and nationalizing ethnocratic ruling elites, this volume reconceptualizes the history of East Central Europe during World War II. In so doing, it presents a clearer understanding of some of the central topics in the history of the War itself and offers an alternative to standard German accounts of the period 1933-1945 and East European nation-states' histories.

The Combined Legacies of the “Jewish Question” and the “Macedonian Question”
The territory of Macedonia is contested and has a history of division. That history has colored the legacy of the Holocaust in the region, especially as it relates to state-building projects of the war itself, but also to those of the postwar and postcommunist periods. The events of the Holocaust in this region are bound—or have subsequently been linked in the narratives of historians, politicians, and cultural leaders—to the national aspirations and political systems of wartime and postwar Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Serbia, Greece, Albania, and of the Macedonian autonomist movement and the drive for Macedonian independence.
