description: Structural and transport properties of lipid bilayers consisting of pure ceramides are investigated through molecular dynamics simulations. Two different initial configurations are used: one where the lipids already form a pre-constructed bilayer and one obtained from the self-assemblage of lipids randomly distributed in an aqueous phase. The latter is created using the MARTINI coarse-grained forcefield followed by back-mapping to atomistic description using the CHARMM forcefield. It is found that the pre-constructed and the self-assembled bilayers have in general comparable structural properties. Nevertheless they exhibit certain differences with respect to the packing and conformation of the aliphatic chains, leading to a different energy barrier that a drug molecule such as ibuprofen must overcome in order to move along the bilayer normal. These results show that the choice of the initial lipids setup for molecular dynamics simulations of a lipid bilayer may have a significant impact on the simulation outcome and thus, the respective calculated structure and transport properties.

description: Introduction: Uveal effusion syndrome (UES) is a rare idiopathic serous detachment of the retina, most probably caused by scleral abnormality. Treatment may be challenging due to the frequent relapsing course and unresponsiveness of the disease. The authors report a case of a type I bilateral UES, successfully resolved with surgery. Methods: The authors report a case of a 61-year-old man with a history of high bilateral hyperopia since childhood and nanophthalmic eyes. On examination bilateral exudative retinal detachment was evident. Results: Patient was treated medically and since there was no clinical response, underwent bilateral inferonasal and inferotemporal scleral flaps and full-thicknes sclerectomy. Thirty months after the first surgery on the right eye and six months after surgery on the left eye, patient had a visual acuity of 20/100 and resolution of the retinal detachment on both eyes. Conclusion: The case reported highlights the importance of surgical approach in some cases of UES, which are frequently refractory to medical therapy. Surgical intervention aimed to decrease the overall resistance to choroidal fluid outflow, facilitating drainage and resolution of retinal detachment.

description: We introduce and study the index morphism for G-invariant leafwise G-transversally elliptic operators on smooth closed foliated manifolds which are endowed with leafwise actions of the compact group G. We prove the usual axioms of excision, multiplicativity and induction for closed subgroups. In the case of free actions, we relate our index class with the Connes-Skandalis index class of the corresponding leafwise elliptic operator on the quotient foliation. Finally we prove the compatibility of our index morphism with the Gysin Thom isomorphism and reduce its computation to the case of tori actions. We also construct a topological candidate for an index theorem using the Kasparov Dirac element for euclidean G-representations.

description: A Josephson tunnel junction transistor based on quasiparticle injection is proposed. Its operation relies on the manipulation of the electron distribution in one of the junction electrodes. This is accomplished by injecting quasiparticle current through the junction electrode by two additional tunnel coupled superconductors. Both large supercurrent enhancement and fast quenching can be achieved with respect to equilibrium by varying quasiparticle injection for proper temperature regimes and suitable superconductor combinations. Joined with large power gain this makes the device attractive for applications where reduced noise and low power dissipation are required.

description: To define recommendations to the medical schools in Turkey about social accountability which meets the local needs. The Association of Evaluation and Accreditation of Medical Education Programs (TEPDAD-Turkey) Social Accountability working group planned a study to determine national recommendations for social accountability of medical schools in two-stages. Delphi technique was used to develop the recommendations and finalize the recommendations in the first stage in which 61 members from 30 different institutions participated. Qualitative analysis was used for open questions in the first round and quantitative analysis for the data which is collected with a rating scale in the second and third rounds of the Delphi study. In the second stage, the recommendations were reviewed and finalized in a consensus workshop in which 68 members from 39 different institutions participated. In the Delphi study 63 recommendations were classified under five themes: the health needs of the society, health service delivery, institutional structure and management, educational program and implementation and development and evaluation of social accountability. In the consensus workshop, the 63 recommendations were evaluated and of which 54 of 63 recommendations were agreed upon. A national framework has been developed by including a wide range of experts from different institutions for the social accountability of medical schools in Turkey. Developing recommendations in a local context will enhance the conceptualization of the recommendations of social accountability in the medical schools. As an accreditation body embedding the principles in the national standards will have a further impact on this process.

description: RESUMO Objetivos: Relato de um caso clínico de doente com paralisia do III par craniano com regeneração aberrante, respetiva abordagem terapêutica e resultados. Material e Métodos: Mulher, 39 anos, com história de paralisia do III par craniano direito pós-traumática. À observação, MAVC OD: 9/10 e MAVC OE: 9/10; endotropia OE de 15 DP BExt. e hipertropia OE de 30 DP BInf.; OD com limitação nos movimentos de elevação e depressão e retração da pálpebra superior no olhar para baixo e em adução – sincinesia; diplopia na ppo; OD em meia midríase; coriorretinopatia miópica ODE. Trata-se de um caso de oftalmoplegia no contexto de paralisia pós-traumática do III par craniano direito com regeneração aberrante. Colocou-se também a hipótese de lesão do VI par OE. Resultados: A doente foi operada de acordo com o seguinte plano: OD – retroinserção do reto inferior; OE – anteroposição do pequeno oblíquo + retroinserção do reto superior + retroinserção do reto interno. Verificou-se melhoria estética com diminuição do desvio. No entanto, manteve limitação nos movimentos de elevação e de depressão no OD, bem como diplopia instável na ppo, impossível de neutralizar com prismas. Conclusões: A regeneração aberrante é um fenómeno que pode ocorrer na sequência de uma paralisia do III par craniano de etiologia traumática. O tratamento da regeneração aberrante do III par craniano tem por objetivo melhorar a estética e a função, sobretudo na presença de diplopia na ppo. No entanto, à semelhança da paralisia do III par craniano a abordagem cirúrgica é complexa e nem sempre bem-sucedida.

description: Decreasing renal glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in association with increasing blood cadmium levels was reported in epidemiological studies of general populations. Dependence of cadmium clearance on GFR has implications for interpreting causation in these studies. Associations between cadmium clearance and creatinine clearance, a metric of GFR, were evaluated in a sample of the U.S. population. Blood to urine cadmium clearance and serum creatinine clearance were estimated in approximately 6000 individuals included in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES 2009–2016). Linear regression models explained approximately 45% of variance in cadmium clearance in adults, with 74% of the explained variance attributed to creatinine clearance and 25% explained by age. In adolescents (12–<20 years), linear regression models explained 55% of variance in cadmium clearance with >99% of the explained variance attributed to creatinine clearance. The models predicted that halving creatinine clearance would result in a 40% decrease in cadmium clearance and a 20% rise in blood cadmium. Dependence of cadmium clearance on GFR has implications for assigning causation to studies in which increasing blood cadmium levels have been associated with increasing risk of low GFR. Statistical associations between blood cadmium and low GFR, such as elevated odds ratios in upper percentile strata of populations, may be partially a consequence of lower cadmium clearance in association with low GFR that is reverse causation.

description: Introduction: Schnyder’s crystalline corneal dystrophy (SCCD) is a rare autossomal dominant condition characterized by abnormally increased deposition of cholesterol and phospholipids in the cornea leading to glare and disproportionate loss of photopic vision. Methods: The authors present two cases of SCCD, from the same portuguese family. Results: The first case is a 60-year-old man with progressive, bilateral and painless loss of visual acuity over more than 30 years. He was clinically diagnosed with SCCD and confirmed histologically after penetrating keratoplasty. The second patient is a 41-year-old woman, daughter of the first patient, with a milder form of the disease, often more difficult to diagnose. Conclusions: The two cases reported confirm the fact that the more elderly patients with SCCD present with increasing opacification and therefore poorer vision. The more severe form of the disease of the first patient associated with the presence of crystals makes the clinical diagnosis easier. However, the second patient could have been easily misdiagnosed. This confirms the importance of other family members examination.

description: Level densities have been extracted from primary gamma spectra for 56,57-Fe and 96,97-Mo nuclei using (3-He,alpha gamma) and (3-He,3-He') reactions on 57-Fe and 97-Mo targets. The level density curves reveal step structures above the pairing gap due to the breaking of nucleon Cooper pairs. The location of the step structures in energy and their shapes arise from the interplay between single-particle energies and seniority-conserving and seniority-non-conserving interactions.

description: Introdução: O objectivo deste trabalho é a análise do estado actual da referenciação oftalmológica hospitalar de casos de estrabismo em idade pediátrica. Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo e descritivo dos processos clínicos das crianças com idade menor ou igual a 10 anos referenciadas à Consulta de Oftalmologia Pediátrica do Centro Hospitalar do Porto entre Julho de 2011 e Julho de 2012. Resultados: Das 649 crianças referenciadas, 267 (41.1%) foram por suspeita de estrabismo. Em 109 (40.8%) dessas crianças confirmou-se o diagnóstico. 16.8% dos casos de estrabismo foram referenciados por outros motivos. A média das idades aquando do diagnóstico foi de 4,5 ± 2,2 (0,3-9) anos, sendo 50,8% do sexo feminino. 62,3% dos estrabismos diagnosticados foram endotropias, 32,3% foram exotropias e 5,4% foram outros estrabismos. Foi detectada ambliopia em 79,7% das crianças, sendo mais prevalente nas endotropias (78%) que nas exotropias (72,7%) (p>0,05). Discussão: Mais de um terço das crianças foram referenciadas por suspeita de estrabismo, confirmando-se o diagnóstico em menos de metade. No entanto, 16.8% das crianças com estrabismo foram referenciadas sem que houvesse suspeita desse diagnóstico. Esta situação alerta-nos para a importância da formação dos nossos pares para a realização de uma avaliação e referenciação oftalmológicas precoces, de forma a optimizar o diagnóstico e tratamento do estrabismo e patologias associadas.

description: We consider feature screening for ultrahigh dimensional additive model with multivariate response in this paper. A new method named generalized correlation based projection screening is proposed by using generalized correlation between each predictor and multivariate response. The sure screening and ranking consistency properties are established under some regularized conditions for the proposed procedure. In addition, we construct an iterative version of the proposed screening procedure to enhance the finite sample screening performance. Both simulation studies and the real data analysis demonstrate that the proposed method works effectively.

description: Structure-property relationships are the foundation of materials science. Linking microstructure and material properties is essential for predicting material response to driving forces, managing in-service material degradation, and engineering materials for optimal performance. Elastic, thermal, and acoustic properties provide a convenient gateway to directly or indirectly probe material structure across multiple length scales. We review how using the laser-induced transient grating spectroscopy (TGS) technique, which uses a transient diffraction grating to generate surface acoustic waves (SAWs) and temperature gratings on a material surface, non-destructively reveals the material elasticity, thermal diffusivity, and energy dissipation on the sub-microsecond timescale, within a tunable sub-surface depth. This technique has already been applied to many challenging problems in materials characterization, from analysis of radiation damage, to colloidal crystals, to phonon-mediated thermal transport in nanostructured systems, to crystal orientation and lattice parameter determination. Examples of these applications, as well as inferring aspects of microstructural evolution, illustrate the wide potential reach of TGS to solve old materials challenges, and to uncover new science. We conclude by looking ahead at the tremendous potential of TGS for materials discovery and optimization when applied in situ to dynamically evolving systems.

description: Objetivos: Descrever achados ecográficos em doentes com miodesópsias e/ou fotopsias, analisar associações entre queixas, achados e variáveis. Material e Métodos: Analisámos doentes com queixas de miodesópsias e/ou fotopsias que realizaram ecografias oftálmicas entre Janeiro 2012 e Agosto 2015 no Serviço de Oftalmologia do Hospital Santa Maria. Resultados: Foram executadas ecografias oftálmicas em 77 olhos de 62 doentes. Entre os 62 doentes: 59% tinham apenas miodesópsias, 40% tinham fotopsias com ou sem miodesópsias e 11% referiam diminuição da acuidade visual. Nas ecografias foram descritos os seguintes achados: 40% sinerése vítrea, 14% descolamento posterior do vítreo (DPV) incompleto, 45% DPV total, 11% rasgadura retina, 4.8% descolamento retina (DR), 12,9% hemovítreo e 12,9% com diâmetro anteroposterior aumentado. Os doentes mais jovens tiveram maior tendência para rasgadura/DR. Dos doentes com apenas miodesópsias 5.4% apresentaram uma rasgadura/DR, os doentes que tinham fotopsias com/sem miodesópsias 20% apresentavam uma rasgadura/DR. Constatamos diferentes apresentações semiológicas entre os doentes com DPV total vs DPV incompleto. Conclusões: Na maioria das vezes as miodesópsias e fotopsias associam-se a casos sintomáticos de DPV, dentro destes, 16% podem ter uma complicação. Parece haver uma tendência para risco aumentado de DR/rasgadura em doentes com fotopsias quando comparados com os doentes com miodesópsias isoladas mas é necessário um estudo com maior número de doentes. O DPV sintomático em idades mais jovens também parece estar associado a maior risco de complicações. O DPV total aparece mais associado a queixas de miodesopsias em oposição aos doentes com DPV incompleto que referem principalmente fotopsias.

description: Specialized care provided to diabetic patients, in developed countries, has contributed to the reduced number of ocular complications in pediatric age. The effectiveness of annual eye examinations in this group is unclear. The authors intend to determine the prevalence and onset of ocular disease in this population and adapt the results to the dynamics of a tertiary center, based on a retrospective study of type 1 diabetes patients’ medical records registered and monitored in Pediatric Endocrinology Department of Centro Hospitalar de Lisboa Central, between January of 2008 and July of 2015. Demographic characteristics, underlying and ocular disease, referral and follow-up of these patients in the Pediatric Ophthalmology Department were evaluated. Medical records of 304 patients with type 1 diabetes were analyzed. 110 patients referred to Ophthalmology Department had been included in the study. The mean age was 13.2 years (4-20 years), 57 were male and 53 female. Type 1 diabetes was diagnosed at 7.5 years on average (0.75-13 years) and mean disease duration was 6.0 years (1-14 years). The average of the last hemoglobin A1c value was 8.6% (4.9-14.4%). The first eye exam was performed at 9.4 years on average (2-19 years), in 55 cases the patients had less than 10 years and, of those, 29 were referred in the first year after diagnosis (mean duration diabetes of 2.0 years; 0-7 years). Regarding the 55 patients older than 9 years, 27 were referred in the first year after diagnosis (mean duration of diabetes 2.3 years, 0-9 years). In 54 patients ophthalmological exam was repeated after 1 year, 15 after 2 years, 1 after 3 years and 1 after 5 years. No diabetic retinopathy cases were found. 28 astigmatism, 12 hyperopia, 16 myopia, 5 strabismus, 2 blepharoptosis and 1 polar cataract were diagnosed. International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes recommend ophthalmological initial screening 2 years after the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes, in patients above 10 years, and 5 years after, if lower ages. American Academy of Ophthalmology 2014 guidelines recommend that the first eye examination should begin 5 years after the diagnosis and repeated annually. A previous study conducted at Hospital Dona Estefânia, between 1999 and 2000, by Rodrigues P et al has described a low incidence of ocular lesions (6.4%) in the studied population, being in agreement with our results. Recent published studies are also consistent and demonstrate that the rare incidence of ocular complications of diabetes until puberty can justify new guidelines in the coming years.

description: In recent years, the authority to prescribe medications in healthcare has expanded to include pharmacists, nurses and Allied Healthcare Professionals. Subsequently, the quantity of guidelines describing appropriate prescribing practice has increased. Despite this, the literature notes a lack of consensus regarding the overall qualities of a good prescriber. The aim of this study was to attempt to define what makes a model prescriber in practice, regardless of professional background. A documentary analysis of UK-based and international prescribing practice guidelines was performed. Data analysis was conducted through a constructivist grounded theory approach to enable concepts to be identified from the data itself without the use of pre-defined categories. A total of 13 guideline documents were analysed. Overall, four core categories of a model prescriber in practice were identified: Knowledgeable: including that of disease and drug properties; Safe: relating to appropriate drug quantities and treatment-monitoring; Good Communicators: with both patients and colleagues; Contemporary: through enhancing knowledge and skills. These four categories can serve as a definition of a high-level prescriber and as an additional tool for prescribing educators to evaluate the extent their curriculum develops and assesses the core qualities needed by their students to be high-level prescribers in practice.

description: The reweighted random series techniques provide finite-dimensional approximations to the quantum density matrix of a physical system that have fast asymptotic convergence. We study two special reweighted techniques that are based upon the Levy-Ciesielski and Wiener-Fourier series, respectively. In agreement with the theoretical predictions, we demonstrate by numerical examples that the asymptotic convergence of the two reweighted methods is cubic for smooth enough potentials. For each reweighted technique, we propose some minimalist quadrature techniques for the computation of the path averages. These quadrature techniques are designed to preserve the asymptotic convergence of the original methods.

description: The form factor of hadronic systems in various forms of relativistic quantum mechanics is considered. Motivated by the agreement of the nucleon ``point-form'' results with experiment, results for a toy model corresponding to the simplest Feynman diagram are first presented. These ones include the results for this diagram, which plays the role of an experiment, for the front-form and instant-form in standard kinematics (q^+=0 and Breit frame), but also in unconventional kinematics and finally a Dirac's point-form inspired approach. Results for an earlier ``point-form'' approach are reminded. Results are also presented for the pion charge form factor. Conclusions as for the efficiency of various approaches are given.

description: The quantum coupling of individual superconducting qubits to microwave photons leads to remarkable experimental opportunities. Here we consider the phononic case where the qubit is coupled to an electromagnetic surface acoustic wave antenna that enables supersonic propagation of the qubit oscillations. This can be considered as a giant atom that is many phonon wavelengths long. We study an exactly solvable toy model that captures these effects, and find that this non-Markovian giant atom has a suppressed relaxation, as well as an effective vacuum coupling between a qubit excitation and a localized wave packet of sound, even in the absence of a cavity for the sound waves. Finally, we consider practical implementations of these ideas in current surface acoustic wave devices.

description: We have studied the dynamical evolution of rotating star clusters with mass spectrum using a Fokker-Planck code. As a simplest multi-mass model, we first investigated the two-component clusters. Rotation is found to accelerate the dynamical evolution through the transfer of angular momentum outward, as well as from the high masses to the low masses. However, the degree of acceleration depends sensitively on the assumed initial mass function since dynamical friction, which generates mass segregation, also tends to accelerate the evolution, and the combined effect of both is not linear or multiplicative. As long as dynamical friction dominates in the competition with angular momentum exchange the heavy masses lose random energy and angular momentum, sink towards the centre, but their remaining angular momentum is sufficient to speed them up rotationally. This is gravo-gyro instability. As a consequence, we find that the high mass stars in the central parts rotate faster than low mass stars. This leads to the suppression of mass segregation compared to the non-rotating clusters. From the study of multi-component models, we observe similar trends to the two-component models in almost all aspects. The mass function changes less drastically for clusters with rotation. Unlike non-rotating clusters, the mass function depends on $R$ and $z$. Our models are the only ones that can predict mass function and other quantities to be compared with new observations.

description: We study the Josephson effect in ballistic double-barrier SIFIS planar junctions, consisting of bulk superconductors (S), a clean metallic ferromagnet (F), and insulating interfaces (I). We solve the scattering problem based on the Bogoliubov--de Gennes equations and derive a general expression for the dc Josephson current, valid for arbitrary interfacial transparency and Fermi wave vectors mismatch (FWVM). We consider the coherent regime in which quasiparticle transmission resonances contribute significantly to the Andreev process. The Josephson current is calculated for various parameters of the junction, and the influence of both interfacial transparency and FWVM is analyzed. For thin layers of strong ferromagnet and finite interfacial transparency, we find that coherent (geometrical) oscillations of the maximum Josephson current are superimposed on the oscillations related to the crossover between 0 and $π$ states. For the same case we find that the temperature-induced $0-π$ transition occurs if the junction is very close to the crossovers at zero temperature.

description: Accurate and reliable estimation of generator's dynamic state vectors in real time are critical to the monitoring and control of power systems. A robust Cubature Kalman Filter (RCKF) based approach is proposed for dynamic state estimation (DSE) of generators under cyber attacks in this paper. First, two types of cyber attacks, namely false data injection and denial of service attacks, are modelled and thereby introduced into DSE of a generator by mixing the attack vectors with the measurement data; Second, under cyber attacks with different degrees of sophistication, the RCKF algorithm and the Cubature Kalman Filter (CKF) algorithm are adopted to the DSE, and then the two algorithms are compared and discussed. The novelty of this study lies primarily in our attempt to introduce cyber attacks into DSE of generators. The simulation results on the IEEE 9-bus system and the New England 16-machine 68-bus system verify the effectiveness and superiority of the RCKF.

description: We discuss the convergence of level truncation in bosonic open string field theory. As a test case we consider the calculation of the quartic tachyon coupling $γ_4$. We determine the exact contribution from states up to level L=28 and discuss the $L\to\infty$ extrapolation by means of the BST algorithm. We determine in a self-consistent way both the coupling and the exponent $ω$ of the leading correction to $γ_4$ at finite $L$ that we assume to be $\sim 1/L^ω$. The results are $γ_4 = -1.7422006(9)$ and $|ω-1|\lesssim 10^{-4}$.}

Income Parity Standards for Agriculture

Subjects: Farm Management

description: Parity, or "equality for agriculture," has long been a goal for farmers. Several definitions of parity have been used as a guide to the well-being of farmers, as a basis for the farm programs of the Government, and as a guide to general economic programs aimed at high levels of employment, production, and purchasing power. Yet none has proved entirely satisfactory. Parity has been elusive to define and difficult to measure—especially in the postwar period of rapid changes in agriculture and in the rest of the economy. Farmers, agricultural economists, Congressmen, and many others have frequently criticized the measures of parity currently in use. Congress has found it necessary from time to time to direct changes in parity computations to make programs workable, or to avoid serious inequities. The article presents a new concept of income parity standards for agriculture. Other studies were made in the past by the Department, and Iowa State University recently published a study, An Alternative Parity Formula for Agriculture, Research Bulletin 476.

description: Showing flows of people and resources between multiple geographic locations is a challenging visualisation problem. We conducted two quantitative user studies to evaluate different visual representations for such dense many-to-many flows. In our first study we compared a bundled node-link flow map representation and OD Maps [37] with a new visualisation we call MapTrix. Like OD Maps, MapTrix overcomes the clutter associated with a traditional flow map while providing geographic embedding that is missing in standard OD matrix representations. We found that OD Maps and MapTrix had similar performance while bundled node-link flow map representations did not scale at all well. Our second study compared participant performance with OD Maps and MapTrix on larger data sets. Again performance was remarkably similar.

description: High-spin states in 135Nd were populated with the 110Pd(30Si,5n)135Nd reaction at a 30Si bombarding energy of 133 MeV. Two Delta(I)=1 bands with close excitation energies and the same parity were observed. These bands are directly linked by Delta(I)=1 and Delta(I)=2 transitions. The chiral nature of these two bands is confirmed by comparison with three-dimensional tilted axis cranking calculations. This is the first observation of a three-quasiparticle chiral structure and established the primarily geometric nature of this phenomenon.

description: The connection of Taylor maps and polynomial neural networks (PNN) to solve ordinary differential equations (ODEs) numerically is considered. Having the system of ODEs, it is possible to calculate weights of PNN that simulates the dynamics of these equations. It is shown that proposed PNN architecture can provide better accuracy with less computational time in comparison with traditional numerical solvers. Moreover, neural network derived from the ODEs can be used for simulation of system dynamics with different initial conditions, but without training procedure. On the other hand, if the equations are unknown, the weights of the PNN can be fitted in a data-driven way. In the paper we describe the connection of PNN with differential equations in a theoretical way along with the examples for both dynamics simulation and learning with data.

description: Effective clinical reasoning is required for safe patient care. Students and postgraduate trainees largely learn the knowledge, skills and behaviours required for effective clinical reasoning implicitly, through experience and apprenticeship. There is a growing consensus that medical schools should teach clinical reasoning in a way that is explicitly integrated into courses throughout each year, adopting a systematic approach consistent with current evidence. However, the clinical reasoning literature is ‘fragmented’ and can be difficult for medical educators to access. The purpose of this paper is to provide practical recommendations that will be of use to all medical schools. Members of the UK Clinical Reasoning in Medical Education group (CReME) met to discuss what clinical reasoning-specific teaching should be delivered by medical schools (what to teach). A literature review was conducted to identify what teaching strategies are successful in improving clinical reasoning ability among medical students (how to teach). A consensus statement was then produced based on the agreed ideas and the literature review, discussed by members of the consensus statement group, then edited and agreed by the authors. The group identified 30 consensus ideas that were grouped into five domains: (1) clinical reasoning concepts, (2) history and physical examination, (3) choosing and interpreting diagnostic tests, (4) problem identification and management, and (5) shared decision making. The literature review demonstrated a lack of effectiveness for teaching the general thinking processes involved in clinical reasoning, whereas specific teaching strategies aimed at building knowledge and understanding led to improvements. These strategies are synthesised and described. What is taught, how it is taught, and when it is taught can facilitate clinical reasoning development more effectively through purposeful curriculum design and medical schools should consider implementing a formal clinical reasoning curriculum that is horizontally and vertically integrated throughout the programme.
Why Should we Interpret Quantum Mechanics?

description: The development of quantum information theory has renewed interest in the idea that the state vector does not represent the state of a quantum system, but rather the knowledge or information that we may have on the system. I argue that this epistemic view of states appears to solve foundational problems of quantum mechanics only at the price of being essentially incomplete.
