Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Lewis Ralph Yealland (1885-1954), a graduate of University of Western Ontario’s medical school, migrated to the imperial capital in 1915, where he worked on shell-shock cases at the Queen’s Square hospital. His efforts won him the praise of his superiors, and he published a survey of his cases and the therapies he employed in 1918. He spent the remainder of his career as a Harley Street physician, specializing in the treatment of alcoholism. UWO granted him an honourary degree in 1948. Then, beginning in 1985, his reputation began its posthumous disintegration. Scholars, a prominent novelist, and a filmmaker alike viewed him and his electroshock therapies as barbarous. Yet a carefully contextualized account of his practices compels us to revise this recent revisionism. Neither an attempt at advocacy nor a venture in setting the record straight, my treatment of Yealland and his work on shell-shock provides an alternative reading to a subject that contemporary discourse made up it mind about too quickly.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
