A very handy spine!

Behind the retro auricular groove, hidden by the pinna, on the surface of the mastoid, there is, a bony outgrowth, known by any otorhinolaryngologist worthy of the name, located above and behind the entrance to the external auditory canal in front of the supra meatic fossa: Henle's spine. In this historical note the authors retrace the moment of the dicovery of this primordial relief of otological surgery and the life of its discoverer, the German anatomis Jakob Henle, a true malesrtom which mixes science, art politics, and love.

唐宋史料筆記에 보이는 ⾼句麗 관련 기록 연구

Historical texts are classified into public and private sources. Public sources, represented by the Chinese canonical histories officially compiled by the respective dynasties, have played an important role in overcoming data limitations in the study of Korean ancient history. However, relatively little attention has been paid to private sources, including historical notes. Historical notes written by intellectuals contain a great deal of historical information. In recognition of their historical value, China has long categorized and published such materials under the name of “Historical Notes”. Among them, the “Historical Notes of the Tang and Song Dynasties” published by the China Book Bureau is highly authoritative. Focusing on this book, this study identified 42 articles related to Goguryeo from a total of 60 texts. The identified Goguryeo-related articles have some overlap with the existing materials of the public sources represented by the canonical histories. However, considering that many of them were compiled before the “Old Book of Tang” and the “New Book of Tang”, their historical value is not insignificant. Moreover, even if they are the same, most of them have slight differences in words and phrases. The historical notes contain a wide range of information, including data on the wars between Goguryeo and Tang, the lives of the Goguryeo people who migrated to Tang after the fall of Goguryeo, and the views of the Tang and Song dynasties on the Goguryeo people. In particular, this study has identified several new materials in “Chaoye Jinzai,” “Minghuangzalu,” and several others that have never been found in the canonical histories. Examples include Goguryeo’s espionage activities in China’s interior before the fall of Goguryeo and a belt worn by the king of Goguryeo that was taken from Goguryeo during the fall of Goguryeo. The materials found in the historical notes are expected to contribute to further research on the history of Goguryeo.

Revisiting the history of autism before Kanner and Asperger: a tribute to Grunya Sukhareva.

Almost two decades before Kanner's and Asperger's works, the original paper by child psychiatrist Grunya Efimovna Sukhareva had already been written. It was published in 1926 by Sukhareva in a German scientific journal of psychiatry and neurology, with a detailed description of children who presented clinical conditions whose characteristics and evolution closely resemble autism, according to current criteria. In the present historical note, we intend to present Sukhareva's pioneering work and retrieve the meaning of her original contribution.

Non-Moro IP Inclusion in Education Governance: Historical Notes on Institutional Policies and IP Population in MSU-IIT, Iligan City

This article presents a historical overview of institutional initiatives concerning the inclusion of Non-Moro Indigenous Peoples as indicators of good governance in education. This underscores the importance of not only integrated but an inclusive education for every student from both the mainstream and the margins. Gleaned from the experience of MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT), this study elaborates the following: (1) what are the policies and programs contributing to the inclusion of Non-Moro IPs in MSU-IIT, and (2) how MSU-IIT administered the Non-Moro IP population and what are the challenges encountered. This research utilized qualitative methods with data coming from MSU-IIT offices and online databases, corroborated with purposive-snowball interviews. Discussions show that the IP students have faced a number of obstacles that have interfered with their college experience, whether they relate to admissions or retention including dropping out of classes, financial constraints and struggle in major coursework leading to the necessary improvement on their overall scholastic performance. MSU-IIT has also responded to the challenge of exclusion through, but not limited to, the General Education Program, the Five-Year Development Plan covering Education and Student Support Pillars, the Equity, Diversity, and Inclusivity (EDI) Policy, and other academic and non- academic pathway initiatives.

Tethered Swimming: Historical Notes and Future Prospects

Swimming coaches know that a swimmer’s assessment must be specific and ecological. Thus, it is critical to select and employ adequate methodologies. The tethered swimming method can be useful and valid, in addition to being simple to apply. Regular use of this methodology can give coaches tools to intervene with their swimmers and increase performance. The main objective of this manuscript was to analyze the potential for measuring the propulsive forces exerted in water as a biomechanical tool for evaluating and training competitive swimmers. The key results demonstrated that this methodology allows (i) the assessment of upper limb bilateral kinetic asymmetries; (ii) the evaluation of the contribution of the upper and lower limb actions, inferring about the (un)balance between strength and coordination; (iii) the examination of the relationship between the intracyclic variations in speed and force; (iv) the evaluation of the effective application of force to the speed of high-level swimmers. Furthermore, this manuscript suggests advances using mathematical modeling and artificial intelligence (AI) that will provide significant insights into swimming performances. AI developments will promote its integration into sports optimization, and swimming will be no exception.

Historical Note on the Genus Trichogramma (Hymenoptera, Trichogrammatidae) in Brazil, Focusing on Taxonomy and Diversity.

The history of the taxonomy of Trichogramma parasitoid wasps can be divided into two phases. In the first phase, species identifications were based on external morphological characters; however, these identifications proved to be confusing and inaccurate. In the second phase, starting in the 1970s, taxa were identified based on charcteristics of the male genital capsule, leading to a major advance in Trichogramma taxonomy. The history of Trichogramma taxonomy in Brazil is recent and mainly related to species that parasitize agricultural pests. In Brazil, the first phase of Trichogramma taxonomy occurred in the 1960s, while the second phase occurred from the 1980s onward. In this second phase, Trichogramma taxonomy progressed significantly and knowledge of Trichogramma diversity as well as associations with lepidopteran pests improved markedly in Brazil as well as worldwide. The last five decades have seen significant progress in studies in Brazil, with taxonomy evolving from identifications based exclusively on morphological characters to integrative taxonomy, encompassing biology (crosses) and morphometry. This historical outline presents the phases of Trichogramma taxonomy in Brazil, addressing the hurdles encountered in the first descriptions, erroneous records of the species, and species descriptions since the 1980s. We highlight the importance of accurately identifying Trichogramma taxa for their use in biological control, as well as species diversity and associations with lepidopteran hosts.

Society for the History of Psychology news and notes.

This historical note describes the book Primer in critical personalism: A framework for reviving psychological inquiry and for grounding a socio-cultural ethos by James T. Lamiell. The overriding purpose of this book is to introduce psychologists, other social scientists, and thoughtful laypersons to that comprehensive system of thought developed by the German philosopher and psychologist William Stern (1871-1938) under the name "critical personalism."

George K. Smelser (1908-1973): Atmospheric oxygen and the corneal response to contact lens wear.

Professor George Smelser was a scientist who played a crucial role in advancing the understanding of the anatomical and physiological changes within the cornea during contact lens wear. In a series of unique experiments conducted in the early 1950s, using both humans and animal models, his research team provided the first conclusive evidence that contact lenses impaired the delivery of atmospheric oxygen to the cornea, resulting in an excess of lactate within the cornea and a subsequent ingress of water, leading to corneal oedema and disturbed vision (Sattler's veil). This historical note reviews the career of George Smelser, with particular emphasis on his contributions to understanding the importance of atmospheric oxygen in maintaining corneal homeostasis.

The Unreliable Witness: Clarence Dakin, ASIO, and Espionage

This historical note examines the role of a witness-informer at the 1954–55 Royal Commission on Espionage. That witness was Clarence William Dakin, an individual overlooked by historians, and his background, testimony and motivations are discussed. As with ex-communists in the USA during McCarthyism, who successfully incriminated their former comrades, ASIO expected his evidence would prove explosive. However, he dashed the hopes of ASIO, disappointed the royal commissioners and discredited himself. This note provides an insight into the rare use of witness-informers during Australia’s Cold War.

The history of motion photography to video electroencephalography in the study of functional seizures and related seizure disorders: The first 100 years

This historical note highlights pivotal events of technology progressing between the late 19th and the 20th century to capture functional seizures and other related seizure episodes. From Charcot's initial use of photography for his study of hysteria at the Salpêtrière to the development of cinematography by Muybridge and Marey to study motion to the initial use of video electroencephalography (vEEG) through a pairing of cinematography with EEG, and the advent of EEG telemetry to eventually the development of modern epilepsy monitoring unit through the adoption of cameras and an improved long-term monitoring vEEG system.

Historical Cultural Maritime Notes and the Integration of Its Values in Shaping the Self-Reliance of Coastal Ecotourism

Until now, studies of Indonesian history have primarily concentrated on events that transpired on land, even though more than half of the territory of the Republic of Indonesia is composed of the sea. Such a dependency on the sea among many Indonesians indicates that a substantial portion of the past experiences and activities of the Archipelago's inhabitants has eluded the observation and research efforts of our nation's historians. This trend presents significant opportunities for the growth and development of Indonesian tourism. Indonesia, as the largest archipelagic country in the world, boasts rich biodiversity, a vast coastline of more than 81,000 km, and a total of 17,504 islands, among which 10,000 are classified as small islands, some of which remain unnamed and uninhabited. Mandar is one of the tribes in the archipelago that inhabits the coastal area of Kotabaru, South Kalimantan province, where the sea heavily influences its culture. The results of this study describe the potential for coastal tourism developed by the Mandar Community, which includes Pencak Silat, sea pandan handicrafts, and traditional sea alms ceremonies. The potential for tourism development is expected to transform these attractions into an economic catalyst for the local community in the area.

A historical note about the sufficient cause model with special consideration of the work of Max Verworn 1912

The aim of this paper is to present the historical roots of the sufficient component cause model, which is very well known in epidemiology. I have analyzed Max Verworn's writings on the description of the sufficient component cause model. Verworn introduced a precursor of the sufficient component cause model as early as 1912, possibly inspired by Ernst Mach. He argued for the abandonment of the concept of "cause" (singular). Instead, he preferred the term "conditions." Unlike Karl Pearson, Verworn was not opposed to causal considerations. However, according to Verworn, every process or state is determined by numerous conditions and not by a single factor or "cause." Instead of speaking of causalism, Verworn preferred to speak of conditionalism. The earliest description of the concept of the sufficient component cause model known in the epidemiological literature since 1976 dates back at least to 1912.

Józef Maksymilian Ossoliński – Pierre Bayle. Relacje, zależności, miejsca wspólne

This article aims to analyze the scientific activity of Józef Maksymilian Ossoliński (1754–1826) concerning his research on the literature and culture of the Polish Renaissance through the prism of the achievements of Pierre Bayle (1647–1706), one of the most important representatives of modern scientific, philosophical, and encyclopedic thought. The study is based on Ossoliński’s Wiadomości historyczno-krytyczne do dziejów literatury polskiej (Historical and Critical Notes on the History of Polish Literature) and Bayle’s Dictionnaire Historique et Critique (Historical and Critical Dictionary) – works that mark many years oftheir scholarly activity. The comparative method adopted in this paper makes it possible toindicate the shared features of their endeavours: the principles of editing sources (textualcriticism), the form of presenting research results, or the title of the publication. The articleconcludes that Ossoliński clearly modelled his Wiadomości historyczno-krytyczne on Bayle’swork and sheds new light on the reception of Bayle in Poland. It also reinforces the positionOssoliński’s work holds in the Polish textual criticism canon.

The history of antiphospholipid syndrome.

Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disease which was defined in the early 1980s. The principal features include thromboembolic events and/or pregnancy losses in association with antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL). As an historical note, the full-blown picture of the syndrome resembles the illness suffered by Anne Stuart, Queen of England in the XVIII century, whose repeated miscarriages caused the end of the royal Stuart line and the Hanoverian succession. The identification of aPL started in the early XX century and was linked to the introduction of the serological test for the diagnosis of syphilis. This involves a reaction between an antibody (reagin) and a phospholipid antigen derived from bovine heart (cardiolipin). Later on, it was observed that not all subjects with a positive test had syphilis, and that the so called "false positive reaction" was often reported in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Different tests for the identification of aPL were subsequently developed: first lupus anticoagulant (1971) and then immunoassays for anticardiolipin (1983) and anti-beta2 glycoprotein I (1990) antibodies. In the same period the association between the presence of circulating aPL and thrombotic and obstetric events was established, both in patients with autoimmune diseases and in otherwise healthy subjects, leading to the identification of APS as a distinct autoimmune disease. This has allowed better diagnosis and more targeted treatment for many patients.
