ABOUT THE COVER

Inspiration comes from many sources.

Ours came from a medical series that delve into the subject of the human psyche and the masses, a sensitive issue that required an ample amount of research and careful attention to detail. We pursued the subject by starting with a photo of a crowd at the Imtech Arena Stadium, Hamburg, Germany courtesy of Davide Ragusa.

The choice was primarily made to highlight the contributions of Wilhelm Maximilian Wundt, the Founding Father of Psychology. In 1879, he founded the first laboratory of psychological research at the University of Leipzig, Germany.Photo credit: The University of Leipzig View from the chapel choir to the assembly hall, the two rooms can be separated or combined for different uses.

The name Paulinum derives from the old Collegium Paulinum (St. Paul's College) which was one of the old colleges at the University of Leipzig, which included the original university church.

The Paulinum is a university building of the University of Leipzig, whose construction began in 2007. Today's Paulinum stands at the site of the old university church, the Paulinerkirche, which was destroyed in 1968 during the communist regime of East Germany.

The building was designed by award-winning architect Erick van Egeraat.

The Paulinum contains the university's assembly hall with an oratory, as well as rooms of the faculties for information science and mathematics. The assembly hall, which was erected on exactly the same site as the old university church, exhibits figures and other objects from Paulinerkirche and offers a room of common prayer. The University of Leipzig is one of the few German universities which retains the tradition of having its own university chapel, a tradition dating back over 500 years. The facade of the Paulinum features collegiate gothic architecture as a commemoration of the original building.

IN THIS ISSUE W hen we think of Germany, we think of greatness. The Germans have been known to live with a certain degree of perfection in everything they do which can be attributed to their outstanding discipline. We will not be tapping on everything "Aleman" but the subject of the mind as they are one of the great "thinkers" of the world. - precise, strategic, and always ahead of their time. Some may not agree but over the last few decades, they have discreetly and undeniably achieved numerous projects and inventions in engineering as well as in other fields. of arts and sciences. The fact that they are the fourth leading economy in the world is truly an understatement. ?The German mind has a talent for making no mistakes but the very greatest.,?said Clifton Fadiman, an American intellect who was the son of Russian-Jewish immigrants. And this vastness of knowledge prompted us to go beyond our usual way and explore the intricacies of the mind and how it affects our future in our current state.

You Remembered?

One of t he most influent ial forms of entert ainment ever since we can remember are films we w atch on screen . Big screens or mobile screens, we w ill alw ays be w atching stories t hat reflect human life as usual. A part icular part caught our at tent ion about collect ive obsessional behavior much like t he mindset of t he general public once exposed to cert ain condit ions. The part icular episode came out prior to t he pandemic w hich makes it unbiased for us to wonder if all of t he pat ient s during t he pandemic categorized under recovered pat ient s were all act ually sick due to t he virus or are t here possibilit ies of MPI or COB or simply called mass hysteria among t he pat ient s?

The Farewell Season W het her a formal st udy has been or w ill be done on t he subject of concern, we invite you to w atch t he previous episodes of t he show all t hroughout t he fift h season . You can find t hem on Net flix and ot her plat forms of choice.

According to Deadline.com , NBC?s medical drama New Amsterdam will wrap its run next season. The series, currently in its fourth season, already has been renewed for the 2022-23 season as part of a three-year pickup. New Amsterdam?s fifth and final season will be its shortest, consisting of 13 episodes. That will bring the show?s total to 92 episodes.

In t he spirit of Oliver Sacks and t he inspirat ion for t he NBC drama New Amsterdam, t his intensely involving memoir from a Medical Director of Bellevue Hospit al looks poignant ly at pat ient s' lives and highlight s t he complex mind-body connect ion.

Using t he plight s of t welve very different pat ient s--from dignit aries at t he nearby UN to supermax prisoners at Riker's Island, to illegal immigrant s, and Wall St reet t ycoons--Dr. Eric Manheimer "offers far more t han remarkable medical dramas: he blends each pat ient 's personal experiences w it h t heir social implicat ions" (Publishers Weekly).

Manheimer is not only t he medical director of t he count ry's oldest public hospit al, but he is also a pat ient . As t he book unfolds, t he narrator is diagnosed w it h cancer, and he is forced to w rest le w it h t he end of his ow n life even as he st ruggles to save t he lives of ot hers.

In an interview on Deadline.com, David Schulner, the creator of the show, spoke of the legacy of New Amsterdam that goes beyond economics, ratings, and awards. ?As my emotions swing from sadness to pride, I?d like to share New Amsterdam?s recognition by the World Health Organization, which makes us more proud than any award or non-linear 30-day rating curve ever could,?he said.

Schulner is referring to a letter he?d received last year from Christopher Bailey, the Arts and Health lead at the WHO, in which he told him and his team ?how much many of us at WHO appreciate your work and your show.?

New Amsterdam was praised for its efforts to ?fold in public health issues and approaches that don?t often make it to the hospital or medical television shows,? including environmental damage caused by hospitals and how to make them environmentally sustainable, nutrition, and affordability of health care. Also getting high marks were the series? Covid montage and ?Dr. Max?s occasional quixotic forays into community engagement,? with Bailey indicating that Max?s letters to WHO on the show, demanding that racism is included in the next version of the International Classification of Disease, is being taken to heart. -

?But perhaps the most important aspect of the show, an aspect of health that we hold centrally to our mission, is the ?person-centered? approach to health the show takes,? the letter said.

REPLACEMENT New Amsterdam Season 2 Episode 3

Iggy (Tyler Labine) has his work cut out in New Amsterdam Season 2, Episode 3 with what he assumes is a gas leak, then an outbreak of Legionnaire?s disease; either way it?s causing all of his young patients to exhibit the same symptoms. As it turns out, one of them, Emily, has a benign brain tumor, and the other kids are psychologically inheriting the symptoms due to the extreme proximity; monkey sees, monkey do.

For Emily, who feels completely alone, this is actually good news. The rest of the kids making signs imploring her to get better prove she isn?t.

Uncovering the Mystery Surrounding a New MSI -

M

ASS

SOCIAL MEDIA- INDUCED ILLNESS

Facebook. It all started back in 2004 with a group of friends from Harvard... we will stop here as we are not about to discuss the rise and the possibility of the downfall of Mr. Mark Zuckerberg. To be fair, in the beginning, everyone enjoyed the experience of having an alternative platform of communication that is free and accessible worldwide. Social media and its similar forms were categorized as a new medium that was widely accepted by the world. Who would have thought that in a couple of decades, apps would become a medium for Mass Sociogenic Illness or MSI? Apps are quite addictive and the younger generation is the most affected. This got us wondering if there ever was an independent study that can explain why this can be possible or is it all a matter of an unjustified claim?

On August 23, 2021, a team of researchers published their work through Brain Magazine by Oxford University Press about a new type of mass sociogenic illness (MSI) which was originally thought of as Tourettes. " We are reporting the first outbreak of a new type of mass sociogenic illness that in contrast to all previously reported episodes is spread solely via social media.

Accordingly, we suggest the more specific term ?mass social media-induced illness." The report indicates that "Functional ?Tourette-like? symptoms can be regarded as the ?modern?form of the well-known motor variant of mass sociogenic illness. Moreover, they can be viewed as the 21st-century expression of a culture-bound stress reaction of our post-modern society emphasizing the uniqueness of individuals and valuing their alleged exceptionality, thus promoting attention-seeking behaviors and aggravating the permanent identity crisis of modern man." The report further explained that the research conducted was made to warn the public in general about the rising cases across other countries which are affecting health care systems and society as a whole.

MSMI is initiated by ?virtual?index cases or personal communication. This is widely spread through various social media platforms (Youtube, Tiktok) MSI is differentiated into two variants: an ?anxiety variant? presenting with unspecific symptoms such as abdominal pain, headache, dizziness, fainting, nausea, and hyperventilation triggered by extreme, sudden stress within a close-knit group, and a ?motor variant? with hysterical dancing, convulsions, laughing and pseudoseizures. About half of Generation Z feels stressed or anxious with climate change being the top concern. Eco-anxiety is associated not only with fear, panic attacks, feelings of anger, guilt, and helplessness, but also with uncontrollability, unpredictability, and uncertainty. The COVID-19 pandemic may cause an additional increase in anxiety and restrictions because the lockdowns may result in increased stress due to homeschooling, significant changes in families?living together associated with increased rates of conflicts and domestic violence, lack of communication with friends, reduced or no contact to peer groups, and boredom. https:/ / academic.oup.com/ brain/ article/ 145/ 2/ 476/ 6356504 The study has been approved by the local ethics committee at Hanover Medical School, 15.04.2020, no. 8995_BO_S_2020.

It all started with axiOMx disclosing checkm8, and later with checkra1n being released. Our Security Research Labs (SRL) here at Cellebrite responded with the first forensically-sound implementation of checkm8 at the beginning of 2020.

As part of the continued investment in digital intelligence solutions, we evolved this capability to support forensic extraction of iPhones starting with iPhone 5S to iPhone X including support up to the latest iOS 13.6 in Cellebrite UFED. W hen we look ahead, iOS 14 will introduce some interesting challenges for the DFIR community. As far as we can tell, Apple is trying to block checkm8 from working on passcode-protected devices such as the iPhone 7, 8, and X devices.

However, some very talented people in the Checkra1n team are working to overcome any new barriers. And in the meanwhile, Team Pangu has also disclosed a new SEP vulnerability which ensures that the iOS jailbreak and forensic scenes will continue to stay relevant.

Before we give you t he lowdow n on t he subject , here's a short t ake on w hat "crypto" is all about . Cryptocurrency, somet imes called crypto-currency or crypto, is any form of currency t hat exist s digit ally or virt ually and uses cryptography to secure t ransact ions. Cryptocurrencies don't have a cent ral issuing or regulat ing aut horit y, instead of using a decent ralized system to record t ransact ions and issue new unit s.

Cryptocurrency may be a good invest ment if you are w illing to accept it is a high- risk gamble w hich could pay off ? but also t hat t here is a st rong chance you could lose all of your money. It is import ant before invest ing in bitcoin or ot her cryptocurrencies t hat you go in w it h a clear view of w hat to expect .

To buy crypto, you have to first create an account on a crypto exchange.

Pract ically speaking, it 's just like t he brokerage plat forms you may be more familiar w it h: Crypto exchanges allow buyers and sellers to exchange fiat currencies? like dollars? for cryptocurrencies like Et hereum, Bitcoin, or Dogecoin.

Germany is one of t hose count ries t hat recognize licensed cryptocurrency exchanges and w allet providers as part of t he financial services indust ry, alt hough t here is no specific crypto use regulat ion. The German Banking Act also allow s banks to custody of crypto.

The use of cryptocurrency in Germany is increasing rapidly w it h Bitcoin and Et hereum being w idely used in e-commerce to purchase goods.

In 2018, a survey found t hat 71% of German resident s had heard of cryptocurrency. Comparing t his w it h more recent survey result s from 2019, more Germans (80%) have heard of cryptocurrencies. This suggest s a grow ing interest among Germans in purchasing cryptocurrency since 2018.

Germany ranked fourt h on Coincub's list last year. The upgrade comes after crypto exchange KuCoin published a report last March show ing t hat 16% of t he German populat ion bet ween ages 18 and 60 ow n cryptos or have t raded it in t he past six mont hs.

Ta fro th Cry

In Germany, cryptocurrency is not just a product , but is absolutely a legal tender, w it h an order by t he Federal Minist ry of Finance t hat allow s making purchases w it h digit al currencies w it hout t axat ion, since t he virt ual currency is considered equivalent to fiat .

How much t ax do you pay on crypto in Germany? At a personal level, profit s regarding cryptocurrencies are t ax-free if t he tot al profit generated from private sales t ransact ions in t he calendar year w as less t han 600 Euros and sales of cryptocurrencies held over a year are t ax exempt in Germany.

Coinbase Germany received a license from t he German regulatory aut horit y, Bundesanst alt für Finanzdienst leist ungsaufsicht (?BaFin?) to provide virt ual currency exchange and custody services to German customers.

Coinbase is t he world's largest Bitcoin (BTC) broker. They represent an easy and fast w ay for new users to purchase bitcoins.

From a medical series to an experiment al film t hat lasted for years. The story of DAU came to us by accident during t he preparat ion of our March issue on Ukraine. Our research led us to Babyn Yar, a synagogue in Ukraine t hat we feat ured, and t hrough t he same site, new s.art net .com read about Ukraine's unveiling plans for a $100 Million Interact ive Holocaust Memorial, however, it now faces crit icism over t he director?s proposal to experiment on visitors. The director's name is Ilya Khrzhanovsky. He plans to create a Holocaust Disneyland w hich resulted in t he resignat ion of t he people involved in t he project including t he curator and t he project historian. More t han 80 Ukrainian academics, art ist s, and historians penned an open let ter in May calling for Khrzhanovsky?s removal from t he project . Learning t his, our journey cont inued on to know more about t he director and t he film.

Ilya Andreyevich Khrzhanovsky (Russian: ? ???? ? ????????? ??? ????????; born August 11, 1975) is a Russian film director. He is t he son of Andrei Khrzhanovsky (b. 1939), one of t he top Russian animat ion directors, and Mariya Neyman, philologist , editor, and script doctor. He is t he grandson of art ist and actor Yury Khrzhanovsky [ru] (1905? 1987). He spent a year at t he Bonn Academy of Fine Art s and graduated in film direct ing at t he famous Russian film school VGIK in 1998. Since t hen, he has directed t heat re product ions and made a short film toget her w it h Artem Mikhalkov. His impressive feat ure debut , 4, won a Tiger Aw ard at IFFR in 2005. It cont inued to w in aw ards at many ot her film fest ivals worldw ide. Since 2005, he has been working on his film, DAU, a project t hat already obt ained an almost myt hological st at us unt il it met various crit icisms during it s release. It w as inspired by t he life of t he Russian physicist and Nobel prize w inner Lev Landau. Also, Khrzhanovsky founded his ow n product ion company Phenomen in 2005, for w hich he produced e.g. t he film Bed Stories (Kirill Serebrennikov, 2005).

Dau is a biographical film, epically depict ing t he life of t he famous scient ist Lev Landau.

It w as an experiment , evolving from a biopic about a Soviet physicist into a large-scale project - part cinemat ic cycle, part behavioral experiment - involving hundreds of part icipant s from around t he world. Combining element s of film, t heater, science, psychology, architect ure, visual art s, and performance, it has created a complex and absorbing world t hat has to be lived as much as seen. It s release took place in Paris, in 2019. Many of it s part icipant s were celebrated figures in t he fields of science, art , t heater, and film and were DAU's ambassadors. It caught t he at tent ion of many crit ics, ot hers experienced being part of t he movie w hich furt her our interest . It w as a first of it s kind.

W hen DAU. Nat asha and DAU. Degenerat ion premiered at Berlin in 2020, t he crit ic Carmen Gray described t he project as ?et hically t horny.? Yet she also argued t hat t he cont roversy sw irling around t he films prevented many observers from judging t he films on t heir ow n art ist ic merit s. Despite favorable review s by t he majorit y of crit ics from bot h t he t rade papers and specialized film journals, five Russian journalist s penned an open let ter object ing to t he fest ival?s decision to include DAU. Nat asha in t he compet it ion (it ended up w inning a special aw ard for Jürgen Jürges?s cinematography) and summed up t heir qualms by aligning Khrzhanovsky?s agenda w it h t hat of Harvey Weinstein, a convicted rapist . They also quest ioned t he et hical probit y of honoring a film t hat ?by it s ow n aut hors? st ark admission, cont ains scenes of real psychological and physical violence against non-professional actors,? as well as ?allegedly unsimulated sex bet ween actors seemingly under t he influence of alcohol.?

The Daily Beast cont acted Khrzhanovsky via email t hrough a represent at ive and asked him to comment on some of t he more incendiary accusat ions lodged by Russian journalist s. He replied t hat ?modern societ y now st rives for a new form of impeccable moralit y. Comment ators have good intent ions; t hey w ant to protect people. W hile t rying to protect Nat asha Berezhnaya, t hey are cont inuing to torment her w it h t hese accusat ions. Despite t he fact t hat I didn?t torment Nat asha Berezhnaya, journalist s w ho sincerely w ish her well are hurling t hese accusat ions. Most people, especially journalist s w ho protest against films, have good intent ions, but t hey also have t he potent ial to dest roy lives.?

Given t he det ailed account s by journalist s and crit ics, our t hought s were beleaguered by t he intent ion of t he project w hich st arted in 2005 unt il 2020. The producers must have an excessive amount of budget for an experiment al project to last t hat long. Then we wondered w ho t he producers were. . .

DAU is a large-scale internat ional film project by Ilya Khrzhanovsky. It is a significant collaborat ion bet ween Russia and Europe, supported by internat ional film funds and product ion companies (Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg, Mit teldeut sche Medienförderung, Arte France Cinema, W DR/ Arte Essent ial Filmprodukt ion, Eurimage, The Swedish Film Inst it ute, and ot hers). Teodor Current zis, Marina Abramovich, Carsten Hoeller, Romeo Castellucci, Vladimir Mart ynov, Leonid Fedorov, Boris Mikhailov, Robert Del Naja, Brian Eno, Anatoliy Vassiliev, Nobel Prize w inner David Gross, Fields Medal w inner Shing-Tung Yau ? are among t he art ist s and scient ist s w ho part icipated in t he DAU project .

Imaginat ion Can Influence Percept ion How does imaginat ion affect percept ion?

Result s of t he st udy confirmed t he aut hors' suspicions, suggest ing t hat imagined experiences are not merely epiphenomenal ? t hat is, our evaluat ions of ment al imagery bear a direct relat ionship to our performance on percept ual and cognit ive t asks in t he real world. https:// www.psychologicalscience.org/ news/ releases/ imagination-can-influence-perception.html

We need to reiterate t hat t he enormous set has been built in Kharkiv, Ukraine and t he filming went on for a subst ant ial amount of t ime t hat it became an alternate realit y for most actors w ho are just regular cit izens.

The key point here is t hat it is more t han a film project t hat can alter a person's realit y or one's view of t hings. If t his has been t aken to such a w ide scale, percept ions can be changed. Thus it is called an experiment but w it h a huge impact t hat can possibly affect communit ies.

[INVNT GROUP] The Global BrandStory Project ® Drives Web3 Innovat ion in World-First Collaborat ion w it h Lamborghini, Steve Aoki, Krist a Kim, and RM Sot heby?s The 1:1 NFT plus the last physical Aventador Coupé auction closed at $1.6MM ? placing the purchase price in the top 10 brand new Lamborghinis ever sold at auction.

New York, NY, May 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSW IRE) -- [INVNT GROUP] The Global BrandStory Project, in collaboration with Lamborghini, leading metaverse artist Krista Kim, 2x Grammy-nominated artist Steve Aoki, and the historied collector car auction house, RM Sotheby?s, sold the world?s first supercar 1:1 NFT connected to the last physical production supercar Lamborghini Aventador Ultimae Coupé ever produced.

Leading brands and organizations into the future of Web3, [INVNT GROUP] curated the strategic partnership and developed, designed, and produced the ?Lamborghini Ultimate?campaign globally.

Achieving 562MM+ Global Media Reach Impressions and 4.65MM+ Social Media Impressions, the exposure resulted in a closing auction bid of $1.6MM ? over 3x the standard suggested retail of a Lamborghini Aventador Coupé ? making it one of the 10 most expensive brand new Lamborghini?s ever sold at auction.

To achieve these results, [INVNT GROUP], led by President and CEO Scott Cullather, leveraged the skills and services of its digital innovation division, INVNT.ATOM? , its digital content studio, HEV?? , and team members across four of its nine offices, around the globe.

Committed to brand storytelling and boundless innovation, driven by strategy, design, and technology, The GROUP recently announced its expanding global presence through the Web3-focused digital innovation division, INVNT.ATOM, which powered the ?Lamborghini Ultimate? project, including the NFT production. INVNT.ATOM helps brands and organizations navigate, activate, and create new storytelling opportunities at the digital frontier. The team, located in INVNT?s Singapore office, consists of strategists, creators, and community-builders specializing in digital-first campaigns, emergent technologies, and engaging brand experiences calibrated for the new era of Web3. ?This collaboration, sitting at the intersection of art, music, entertainment, design, and technology, was an epic project for our group. It represents every aspect of our ongoing commitment to helping brands and organizations tell stories that connect with their most important audiences in engaging and relevant ways.

Leveraging Web3 technology in partnering with Lamborghini, Steve, Krista, and RM Sotheby?s, we brought communities from around the world together in unimaginable ways,?Scott Cullather President and CEO of [INVNT GROUP]

INVNT.ATOM together with HEV?, [INVNT GROUP]?s creative agency and production studio, led the creative, strategy, design, content, and marketing communications. Through public relations, and social and influencer partnerships, the campaign reached a global audience of over 500MM+. HEV? spearheaded the creative direction and production of the Behind the Drop video featuring exclusive interviews with Krista Kim, Steve Aoki, and Stephan W inkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini.

In the historic campaign, Automobili Lamborghini auctioned the last production Lamborghini Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae Coupé with a 1:1 NFT. Lamborghini and [INVNT GROUP] united three forms of art: design, music, and cutting-edge technology, to create a never-before-seen collaboration that will go down as one of the most prolific 1:1 NFT drops of the year.

The Lamborghini Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae Coupé exclusive one of one was brought to life in both the NFT and physical car by contemporary artist Krista Kim, who created the visual artwork and her signature gradients. The gradients also appear in the bespoke customization of the physical Lamborghini Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae Coupé, and NFT visionary artist Steve Aoki who consulted on the design of the NFT, physical car and provided a custom-developed soundtrack. ?We had this approach of: ?how do we bring upon the higher states of consciousness, and how does that translate and transmute the beauty of the power in the V12 engine of Lamborghini. As a luxury super sports car company, I think that this company is really pioneering web3,?said Krista Kim. Steve Aoki continues, ?I?m honored to be partnering with Lamborghini, Krista Kim, and [INVNT GROUP] on this historic project. It truly has its own story, & therefore I wanted my music track to reflect its soulful energy ? the vibe, the spirit, and the power. The digital imprint of who we are has a serious meaning to our lives. As we step into web3, having identity through things like NFTs, like this car, are going to be more and more important to us.?

An exclusive preview of the NFT was hosted on BZAR Future of Community? , [INVNT GROUP]?s patent-pending, decentralized, content-led metaverse; established as a marketplace for physical and digital transactions, NFTs, entertainment, social, and gaming experiences.

The owner of the world?s first super sports car 1:1 NFT now holds in their possession the first-ever Lamborghini luxury super sports car for Web3; with capabilities via the exclusive GLB files, the winner can drive the one of a kind NFT in the Web3 platform of their choice pending platform mechanics.

Marking the end of an incredible era for Lamborghini; the brand is now looking to the future and electrifying its complete line-up by 2024. As Lamborghini charges into the digital era the lucky owner will be part of the brand?s legacy, owning the last naturally aspirated V12 Lamborghini Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae Coupé, and the exclusively designed NFT - the first Lamborghini luxury super sports car for Web3. ?Partnering with [INVNT GROUP], Steve Aoki and Krista Kim on the design and production of this incredible moment in Lamborghini?s history ? the very last Aventador LP 780-4 Ultimae Coupé ever produced was amazing. These creative minds coming together to design and produce, the 1:1 physical super sports car and NFT package with one of a kind utilities, has created something very special that can be shared for generations to come - making it part of Lamborghini?s iconic legacy,? Christian Mastro, Marketing Director, Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A.
