TL;DR: The results show that different factors are involved in the learning of letter names and letter sounds and suggest that children use letter-based strategies with their own names at a time when they are often considered to be "logographic" readers.
Abstract: Two studies were performed to determine whether children's experiences with their own names boost their knowledge about the components of the name, the letters. The children in Study One showed a significant superiority for the initial letter of their own first name in tests of letter-name, but not letter-sound, knowledge. This pattern was found for Australian first graders (mean age 5 years, 5 months), U.S. kindergartners (mean age 5 years, 8 months), and U.S. preschoolers (mean age 4 years, 10 months). Study Two, with U.S. preschoolers (mean age 4 years, 11 months), again revealed an advantage for the initial letter of a child's first name in knowledge of letter names but not knowledge of letter sounds. Moreover, the children were better at printing the initial letter of their own first name than other letters. The results show that different factors are involved in the learning of letter names and letter sounds. They further suggest that children use letter-based strategies with their own names at a time when they are often considered to be "logographic" readers.

TL;DR: In this article, a seventh-grader reflected on studying and composing graphic narratives in her language arts classroom and found that comics can transform the ways we think about reading and writing in language arts classrooms and the ways students think about themselves as readers and writers.
Abstract: I didn’t know there was an art to doing that! This is the way one seventhgrader reflected on studying and composing graphic narratives in her language arts classroom. As graphic narratives become increasingly positioned as complex and legitimate literature, they are finding their way into young people’s hands and classrooms (Abate & Tarbox, 2017; Connors, 2016). Both supporting and challenging literacy practices (Dallacqua, 2017), graphic narratives have the ability to transform the ways we think about reading and writing in language arts classrooms and the ways students think about themselves as readers and writers. Sousanis (2015) explores conceptions of communication through the structure of comics, noting that “not only space, but time and experience too, have been put into boxes” (p. 10). Playing off the panel boxes that are part of the comics medium, Sousanis theorizes that people are born into and thereby accept the ways we communicate, primarily with alphanumeric language. Schools often privilege this way of printbased reading and writing. Sousanis suggests comics as

TL;DR: From the practical point of view, the most convenient approach to the treatment of head injuries is by way of a division of the cases according to the presence and duration of concussion after the accident.
Abstract: Of the parts included within the head the brain is anatomically the largest and functionally the most important. Fractuire of the skull is of little import except in so far as it may cause haemorrhage of a kind that may compress the b)rain, or open pathways through which the meninges or the brain itself may become infected. It is true that the presence of fracture offers proof of a degree of violence which must almost always have caused direct injury to the brain, but it is also true that the brain may be severely damaged in a case of head injury without fracture of the skull. The most important part of the treatment of head injuries, therefore, is that which concerns direct injury of the brain. The commonest immediate effect of such an injury is the loss of consciousness, which by tradition is accepted as the result of concussion-a term which provides a convenient cloak for our ignorance of the underlying pathology. A patient may recover from concussion, even though the state of traumatic stupor may persist for several days without other evidence of cerebral injury. On the other hand, a patient who has escaped concussion may present other and more lasting symptoms of damage to the brain. From the practical point of view, however, the most convenient approach to the treatment of head injuries is by way of a division of the cases according to the presence and duration of concussion after the accident.
