TL;DR: In this article, abduction is identified as the ground-state, or default, mode of cognition and it deals with the issue of reasoning toward meaning and away from what Peirce called ''genuine doubt''.
Abstract: The psychology of cognition has been influenced by semiotic models of representation, but little work has been done relating semiotics and the process of cognition proper. In this paper, I argue that the semiotically relevant concept of abduction is crucial for this effort. Abduction is identified as the ground-state, or default, mode of cognition. As such, it deals with the issue of reasoning toward meaning and away from what Peirce called `genuine doubt'. In this fashion, abduction is shifted from being solely a logical and semiotic concept to a psychological concept. Abduction is first examined historically, and then further compared to the more traditional reasoning modes of deduction and induction to show how all three are necessary for any complete model of cognition and research into cognition. Different modes of abduction, including detection, diagnosis and divination, and different directions of abductive research in psychology are detailed.

TL;DR: In this article, the Zone of Proximal Development: Formative Assessment as Professional Development (ZPMDP) was discussed. But the focus was not on the evaluation of the teacher.

TL;DR: In this article, the Fokker-Planck equation for the coupled Langevin system is reduced to a kinetic equation for oscillator distribution function, and the effect of a stochastic temporal variation in the frequencies is also included.

TL;DR: A kinetic model that accounts geometrically for the surface blockage due to adsorption and postadsorption conformational (or orientational) transitions is developed and compared to new experimental data for fibronectin onto silica-titania obtained using optical waveguide lightmode spectroscopy (OWLS).

TL;DR: The ligamentum teres may contribute to hip stability when the hip is in ER/FLEX and IR/EXT and individuals with osseous risk factors for instability, including inferior acetabular insufficiency, may have instability with squatting (ER/FleX) and crossing one leg behind of the other (IR/EXT).
Abstract: The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the role the ligamentum teres has in providing hip stability using a biomechanical model. The second purpose was to review arthroscopic findings in those with a complete ligamentum teres rupture and question them regarding instability to determine how clinical findings related to the biomechanical model. A string model was created to examine ligamentum teres excursion during various hip positions. A retrospective review of 350 consecutive surgical patients identified 20 subjects with a complete ligamentum teres rupture that was not repaired at the time of surgery. The model found the ligamentum teres to have the greatest excursion when the hip was externally rotated in flexion (ER/FLEX) and internally rotated in extension (IR/EXT). During operative assessment, it was noted that all 20 subjects had laxity during dynamic impingement testing when their hip was in a position of ER/FLEX. Nine (45%) of the 20 subjects with ligamentum teres rupture were available for follow-up (mean 31 months post-op). Five out of these 9 subjects noted instability: 5 of 9 with squatting (ER/FLEX) and 4 of 9 with crossing one leg behind of the other (IR/EXT). These 5 subjects had osseous risk factors that compromised hip stability including inferior acetabular insufficiency. The ligamentum teres may contribute to hip stability when the hip is in ER/FLEX and IR/EXT. Individuals with osseous risk factors for instability, including inferior acetabular insufficiency, may have instability with squatting (ER/FLEX) and crossing one leg behind of the other (IR/EXT).
