Hitler became Chancellor in 1933 and used several key events to transform Germany into a dictatorship by 1934. The Reichstag fire allowed Hitler to ban the Communist party and pass the Enabling Act, which gave him sole lawmaking powers. Next, the Night of the Long Knives saw Hitler order the killing of SA leaders, including Ernst Rohm, to consolidate his power. When Hindenburg died, Hitler combined the roles of Chancellor and President to become the Führer of Germany. All soldiers then swore a personal oath of loyalty to Hitler.

This document summarizes research on interactions between sensory perception and immunity in mental disorders. The study examined over 800 patients with addictive and affective disorders. Questionnaires and tests assessed olfaction, taste, pain sensitivity, and immune parameters. Results showed pathological tastes and smells were more common in patients, and "pica" - eating non-food items - was linked to higher addiction risk. Addicts had higher attraction to isopropyl alcohol smell. Low masculinity in male addicts correlated with higher pain sensitivity and immune abnormalities. The research suggests sensory and immune factors may increase vulnerability to substance abuse and mental illness. Future studies will explore relationships between sensory tests, gender differences, and treatment responses.

Threshold Autoregressive (TAR) models allow for movements between regimes that are governed by an observed variable. A TAR model contains different parameters depending on whether the state-determining variable is above or below a certain threshold. A self-exciting TAR (SETAR) model occurs when the state-determining variable is a lag of the dependent variable. There are many possible variations of the basic TAR model, including models with switching in some but not all parameters, models with more than two regimes, and models with different threshold variables or dynamic specifications.

This document summarizes an article that analyzes the shift in foreign policy from pursuing national interests to emphasizing ethical duties to protect others' rights. While international changes provided an opportunity for ethical framing, domestic pressures also drove ethical foreign policy interventions. Ethical rhetoric enhances governments' moral authority but allows less accountability, as policy success can be declared without regard for outcomes blamed on others. This flexibility lets governments project purpose abroad amid difficulty acting decisively at home.
