TL;DR: In this article , a 4-part naming system for lumbar interbody fusion surgical procedures is proposed, including intra-operative repositioning, patient position, surgical technique, and orientation of the surgical corridor to the psoas muscle.
Abstract: Study Design: This article is a research methodology study. Objective: We summarize current ambiguities and inaccuracies regarding lumbar interbody fusion nomenclature and propose a standardized reporting method to improve the clarity of future research and communication among spine surgeons and researchers. Summary of Background Data: Lumbar interbody fusion techniques have seen an impressive degree of refinement over recent years. This innovation has ushered in a plethora of naming conventions for these new surgical approaches. Many of the current trends in naming lumbar fusion techniques are, however, redundant and contradictory, creating unnecessary confusion in the field. Methods: Following an extensive literature review, we developed a 4-part naming convention that highlights the crucial features of lumbar fusion surgical procedures. Results: Current literature regarding lumbar fusions is rife with inconsistent usage and privatization of terminology that can inadvertently result in ambiguous operative vocabulary, potentially compromising the accuracy of future research. We propose a 4-part naming system that highlights crucial features of lumbar interbody fusions, including (1) intra-operative repositioning, (2) patient position, (3) surgical technique, and (4) orientation of the surgical corridor to the psoas muscle. Conclusions: This study raises awareness of current inconsistencies in naming conventions and proposes a standardized system for improving the clarity of lumber interbody fusion terminology for the broader spine community. Level of Evidence: Level V.

TL;DR: This paper used quantitative ethnographic techniques and a tool named Epistemic Network Analysis (ENA) to visualize the structure of connections between physics concepts and real-life experiences in students' assessment tasks.
Abstract: The education community continues to struggle to support students to make meaningful connections between disciplinary learning at schools with their everyday life experiences. Even when the students engage in meaningful science learning experiences, recognizing the connections and relations that students make through their engagement is methodologically challenging, especially through the analysis of qualitative data. The purpose of this study was to explore the patterns of connections that students generated through their participation in a co-designed physics unit. We analyzed 76 high school students written and pictorial responses to performance assessment tasks designed to engage students in physics learning. We used quantitative ethnographic techniques and a tool named Epistemic Network Analysis (ENA), to visualize the structure of connections between physics concepts and real-life experiences in students’ assessment tasks. The ENA results revealed patterns of connections that students generated between physics concepts they learned at school and their everyday experiences. Notably, the analyses showed differences in patterns of connections between male and female participants and between written and pictorial preferences in momentum and impulse unit assessment tasks. The implications for curriculum design and performance assessment in science are discussed.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors examine STEAM, the integration of the arts or the humanities into science, technology, engineering, or math instruction that accentuates creativity and multimodal expression.
Abstract: This chapter examines STEAM, the integration of the arts or the humanities into science, technology, engineering, or math instruction that accentuates creativity and multimodal expression. Three common challenges interfering with STEAM instruction are outlined: conflicting tacit beliefs about creativity, unclear criteria for identifying originality in student work, and ambiguity in assessing student creativity. To address these challenges, twelve instructional leadership steps are provided. As new research teams can be daunting to lead, an example STEAM research team is described that harnesses interdisciplinarity (engineering, psychology, and education). The chapter concludes with three pointers for developing dream STEAM research teams: go out on a limb, bank your half-baked ideas, and be the glue.
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors examined the hypothesis that the side chains of both components of the triazole Pro-Trp segment of cPT pharmacophore work in tandem to make intimate contacts with two proximal subsites of the overall CD4 binding site of gp120 to stabilize binding and function.
Abstract: Previously we established a family of macrocyclic peptide triazoles (cPTs) that inactivate the Env protein complex of HIV-1, and identified the pharmacophore that engages Env’s receptor binding pocket. Here, we examined the hypothesis that the side chains of both components of the triazole Pro - Trp segment of cPT pharmacophore work in tandem to make intimate contacts with two proximal subsites of the overall CD4 binding site of gp120 to stabilize binding and function. Variations of the triazole Pro R group, which previously had been significantly optimized, led to identification of a derivative, MG-II-20, containing a pyrazole substitution. MG-II-20 has improved functional properties over previously examined cPTs, with KD for gp120 in the nM range. In contrast, new modifications of the Trp indole side chain, with either methyl- or bromo- components appended, had disruptive effects on gp120 binding, reflecting the sensitivity of function to changes in this component of the encounter complex. Plausible in silico models of cPT:gp120 complex structures were obtained that are consistent with the overall hypothesis of occupancy by the triazole Pro and Trp side chains, respectively, into the β20/21 and Phe43 sub-cavities. The overall results strengthen the definition of the cPT-Env inactivator binding site and provide a new lead composition (MG-II-20) as well as structure-function findings to guide future HIV-1 Env inactivator design.

TL;DR: Hanna as discussed by the authors argues that legal punishment is morally wrong because it is too morally risky, and argues that punishment depends on the answers to a variety of difficult philosophical questions about which we are fallible.
Abstract: Hanna argues that legal punishment is morally wrong because it is too morally risky. He first briefly explains how his argument differs from similar ones in the philosophical literature on legal punishment. Then he explains why legal punishment is morally risky, argues that it is too morally risky, and discusses objections. Put simply, his argument goes as follows. Legal punishment is wrong because we can never sufficiently reduce the risk of doing wrong when we legally punish people. We can never sufficiently reduce this risk because wrongful punishment is much worse than wrongful non-punishment and because punishment’s permissibility depends on the answers to a variety of difficult philosophical questions about which we are fallible.
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated six species of large-celled Pinnularia Ehrenberg from lakes of eastern North America, P. dariana (A.W. Schmidt), P. rexlowei sp.
Abstract: Six species of large-celled Pinnularia Ehrenberg from lakes of eastern North America, P. dariana (A.W.F. Schmidt) Mills, P. alabamae Krammer, P. bihastata (A. Mann) R.M. Patrick, P. torta (A. Mann) R.M. Patrick, P. rexlowei sp. nov. and P. spinifera sp. nov. are investigated with light and scanning electron microscopy. All six species are shown to possess marginal spines, a trait sporadically encountered in Pinnularia and generally rare in raphid diatoms. Besides having spines, the six species differ in their frustular morphology, including appearance and position of spines. We summarize data on their ecology and distribution using a set of 702 sediment core samples from 424 lakes from eastern USA and Canada. Pinnularia rexlowei is only known from Quaternary lacustrine deposits in the State of Connecticut and from the surface and subfossil sediments of two lakes in northeastern USA. The other five species are relatively common, and at least one species of spine-bearing Pinnularia was found in 34% of studied lakes. Pinnularia dariana and P. torta reach as far north as Labrador, while P. alabamae, P. bihastata and P. spinifera were only encountered south of Canada. Pinnularia alabamae and P. spinifera are characteristic for lakes with relatively soft and slightly acidic water, while P. bihastata, P. dariana and P. torta are found in a wider range of physico-chemical conditions, including alkaline and eutrophic lakes.
