    1. HTML, which is not a programming language

      Sure it is:

      It's not really a debate, HTML is a markup language [1], not a programming language

      This is a false dichotomy, and untrue on two points (a) that HTML is "not a programming language", and (b) that the stance you have taken is not up for debate.

      You're using the term "programming language" as shorthand to refer to the subset of languages more rigorously referred to as Turing-complete general-purpose programming languages.* There are programming languages outside this subset that no less have set membership with the larger "programming language" superset.

      A programming language is a programming language in the sense that they have come to exist with the advent of the stored program computer. Though HTML and other markup languages are not** Turing-complete general-purpose programming languages, they are used every bit as much to describe a stored program as a language you might encounter when opening a file containing G-code "instructions" for controlling a CNC machine.

      * We had a similar (but not the same) silly recurring argument in the 90s where people, at a loss for words to accurately capture their thoughts and grasping at whatever came to mind, argued that there were two distinct classes: "programming languages" and "scripting languages"—a category error arising from the same phenomenon of mistaking loose, off-the-cuff shorthand for The Real Idea Behind the Thing That's Involved Here

      ** No overlooking the fact that HTML is a proper superset of CSS, a provably Turing-complete (though not general-purpose) programming language—and JS, which is, of course, a true general-purpose programming language

    1. Healing responses may include turning to music, art, religion, literature, nature, humor, or psychotherapy for solace and understanding. Spiritual questions of purpose and meaning in life become more immediate in the face of impending death.

      .

    2. Under the Medicare Hospice Benefit, hospices provide bereavement support for at least a year to families of patients they have served. They also provide bereavement services to partners and close friends. Often, hospices provide this support to people in their community even if the death did not occur with hospice care.

      .

    3. Physicians and nurses may want to call in clergy and social workers; each may have something to offer a family that is trying to integrate the shock and loss.

      .

    4. If patients have lost the capacity to express their wishes and family members are in conflict about a certain plan, it is best to focus on what the patient would have wanted, applying the ethical principle of substituted judgment.

      .

    5. The clinician needs to communicate clearly with the family members regarding plans for care, prognosis, complications, and who will make decisions should the patient be unable.

      .

    6. Guidelines for assisted suicide have been published, and clinicians confronted with a reasonable request to end life should refer to these, as well as to colleagues experienced in palliative care, for help. In almost all cases, legally permissible and clinically preferable alternatives can be found.

      .

    7. A patient’s request to hasten death should be explored in detail. At first, it should be considered a cry for help. It may represent the wish to escape from depression, anxiety, uncontrolled physical pain, shame of dependency, and other psychosocial issues.

      .

    8. In assisted suicide, the physician provides the means (such as a prescription for barbiturates) at the request of the patient, but the patient must eventually take (or not take) the potentially lethal medication by his or her own hand.

      .

    9. Voluntary active euthanasia is the act of intentionally intervening to cause the patient’s death, at the explicit request of, and with the full informed consent of, the competent patient.

      .

    10. Withdrawing life-sustaining but burdensome treatments, even though the withdrawal leads to death, is also an accepted part of practice based on the patient’s right to bodily integrity.

      .

    11. Patients who recover from delirium and coma sometimes report experiences that range from nightmarish, terrifying visions, on the one hand, to very pleasant out-of-body travel or visions of light and angelic beings on the other. Some may not be able to remember anything about the experience. Occasionally, the disorientation becomes profound and the sense of the world is lost. ++

    12. CASE ILLUSTRATION 6 Caleb, a 101-year-old rugged dairy farmer, has become partly deaf and then blind in the last 5 years of his life but remains alert and communicative.

      .

    13. Patients have the right to forgo therapies such as intravenous fluids, nasogastric feeding, and supplemental oxygen, among others. Documentation of these choices is vital if the patient does not wish to undergo treatments and can be done on the MOLST form.

      .

    14. The notion that being resuscitated from cardiopulmonary arrest will not add appreciably to the quality and/or quantity of life is an open acknowledgment that death might be near—and that reversing the dying process is not within the power of medicine.

      .

    15. The “do-not-resuscitate” (DNR) order refers to the withholding of CPR, specifically closed-chest cardiac massage, defibrillation, and artificially supplied respiratory support. For most patients with a terminal disease, CPR is ineffective, and its harshness makes it a cruel, expensive, technological death ritual. Many studies have shown that CPR provides no increase in out-of-hospital survival for patients with progressive multisystem disease, particularly patients with advanced cancers and renal failure.

      .

    16. Invasive interventions that exceed the usual boundaries of hospice care but that extend meaningful life and improve quality of life are sometimes appropriate even within a hospice approach, as long as the patient consents. Remaining flexible in the face of changing, difficult situations and allowing the patient’s goals to guide the treatment as much as possible permit the clinician to hope along with the patient for a death with as little meaningless suffering as possible.

      .

    17. CASE ILLUSTRATION 4 Max, a 63-year-old, recently retired, and previously healthy man, develops abdominal pain and is found to have widely metastasized colon cancer.

      He is told to have 6-12 months to live. Max and his wife go to a different clinic for holistic treatment, but they ghost them after the visit. He goes back to the original clinic and recieved paalliative care before he passes.

    18. Providing ranges of survival times and allowing for outliers on either end is better than predicting an exact amount of time. (“The average person with your illness will live two to six months. It could be longer, and we will try to make that happen, but it could also be shorter, so you may want to make sure everything is prepared just in case things don’t go as we hope.”)

      .

    19. CASE ILLUSTRATION 3 At 68 years old, Albert has severe end-stage emphysema from years of smoking, severe mitral regurgitation, congestive heart failure, cardiac arrhythmias, and alcoholism.

      He bullied his wife for 40 years, does not want CPR or respirator care. He yells at healthcare professionals and family for him being sick, blames medication. Eventually reveals he's afraid to die, particularly being buried alive. He receives medication that helps him calm down but dies of rising CO2 later on

    20. For some, dying may be a time for personal growth, reflection, and meaning, but for others, personal factors and emotional reactions block an acceptance of death.

      .

    21. CASE ILLUSTRATION 2 Carlos, a 70-year-old man, has been diagnosed with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.

      He's referred to hospice, responds very little to questions about death. He becomes bed bound, has routine visits to his home where he passes with his family.

    22. Progressive declines initially may be treated as another form of bad news, but they also potentially provide the opportunity for enhanced meaning and control in the dying process.

      .

    23. Hospice programs provide comprehensive care to dying patients, with a multidisciplinary team of nurses, physicians, social workers, clergy, and volunteers. These programs, which accept only patients who are more likely than not to die in the next 6 months and are willing to forgo disease-directed therapies and hospitalizations, help patients and their families live as fully as possible by providing quality palliative care.

      .

    24. The advantage of hospice programs is the expertise brought to techniques of palliative care by the multidisciplinary staff, as well as the added support for patient and family at home, including payment for palliative medications and medical equipment.

      .

    25. Unlike Medicare-sponsored hospice programs, palliative care does not require patients to give up on aggressive treatment of their underlying disease, to accept a prognosis of less than 6 months, or to accept palliation as the central goal of therapy. Thus, it allows “hospice-like” treatments to be made available to those seriously ill patients who want to continue some or all disease-directed treatments.

      .

    26. This “both/and” approach has been one of the most important conceptual breakthroughs for palliative care, for it allows quality-of-life issues to be addressed for all seriously ill patients, not just those who are referred to hospice.

      .

    27. CASE ILLUSTRATION 1 Ella, a 71-year-old woman

      Ella has a chest film and expects lung cancer. She has lung tumor and states that if she becomes too ill, she wants to stop treatment. She receives DNR and is referred to hospice where the main goal is to relieve her suffering.

    28. Enhancing the quality of life for those afflicted with serious chronic illness is the cornerstone of the rapidly developing specialty of palliative care.

    1. Patients with undetected trauma histories are often seen as “difficult” or “hostile,” frequently are late or miss appointments, are often in crisis, have poor self-care, and chronic pain. Such patients also may be labeled as “noncompliant,” with seemingly intractable health behavior problems.

    4. In addition to risk reduction strategies, characteristics that promote resilience in survivors such as self-esteem, trust, humor, internal locus of control, secure attachments, and social relationships, as well as a personal sense of safety, religious affiliation, strong adult role models, and use of existing resources can be reinforced by primary care clinicians.

      .

    5. Unlike recent trauma, disclosures of past trauma do not require an immediate intervention. Rather, clinicians can express empathy (“I’m so sorry that happened to you. You didn’t deserve that”) and provide information about the availability of services to help cope with and heal from past trauma (“I am available to talk more with you about that.

      .

    6. An appropriate response to recent IPV affirms that the patient does not deserve to be treated in this way and expresses concern for his/her safety. It also typically also includes a “warm handoff” to a domestic violence agency by telephone and/or to an onsite psychosocial team member who can construct a safety plan; lethality assessment, referrals for safe housing, legal, police, and other community resources; individual and/or group therapy; and peer support.

      .

    7. PTSD symptoms are grouped into four distinct clusters: re-experiencing the trauma (memories, nightmares, flashbacks), avoidance (emotional/cognitive vs. situational), negative changes in thinking/mood (not remembering aspects of the trauma, changes in beliefs about self/others/the world, self/other-oriented blame, persistent negative emotions, anhedonia, isolation, difficulty experiencing positive emotions), and arousal (sleep disturbances, irritability/anger outbursts, exaggerated startle, hypervigilance, attentional disruption, self-destructive behavior).

    12. Demographic factors such as female gender, age, socioeconomic status, and African American race often are thought of as nonmodifiable risk factors, but it is increasingly clear that societal response to race, gender, or age, and the resultant chronic stress, may create the actual risk in these populations.

    1. Given the available collected data [...], how should [funders] measure the impact on wellbeing? [...] What measures of well-being should charities, NGOs, and RCTs collect for impact analysis?

      Let's split up the answer boxes within this question to ask separately about the best use of currently collected data for these cases, and also ask what data should be collected in the future.

    2. How reliable is the WELLBY measure [...] relative to other available measures in the 'wellbeing space'? How much insight is lost by using WELLBY and when will it steer us wrong?

    1. The ability to producenovice teachers who are resilient and persistent in the face of the complex problemsencountered in todayís schools is a goal to which every teacher education programaspires.

      More than just educationally, but also in society. If educators are unable to model resiliency and persistence, the question arises: how will the next generation learn those qualities? It is our responsibility as educators to push the next generation to be greater than we are today.

    2. Both teachers spoke of their new positions as being an excellent fit for them

      In my opinion, an educator's fit for the given role or school is not discussed nearly enough. If a person is not comfortable in some part of their occupational arena, the year can become a treacherous experience. A belief exists that one should be comfortable being uncomfortable. While that is aspirational, at some point one has to embrace something as comfortable if nothing else to have confidence that tomorrow is a new day.

    3. All three left theirpositions because of the perceived lack of administrative support and the failure ofthese schools to attend to the needs of their students.

      Leadership in education is the secret sauce. In my time in the classroom, I’ve seen good teachers leave the classroom altogether because of questionable leadership. With that said, I’ve seen people who may not have been at the top of their class in education be brought under the umbrella of great leaders and have their entire perspective changed.

    4. Chandraís desire to continue teaching at this school despite the overwhelmingchallenges she faced might have to do with a strong sense of personal mission, whichwas linked to her twin sisterís work as a volunteer with homeless women as well asher family ethos

      Chandra’s experiences are heartbreaking. She is the type of fighter that needs to be in education. Chandra’s lack of behavioral management is tough because she wants to give back so badly that she closes her eyes to problematic behaviors and the methods needed to fix them. She is the type of person who could potentially figure it out with time or when paired with a disciplinarian co-teacher. She also sounds like the type of person who could burn out very quickly. She could really go either way. In my opinion she has to find her niche’ and exhaust all options to accentuate those to her advantage. It may turn into a situatuation where she has to fake it till she makes it.

    5. Sally noted that one day of her teacher induction program was very goodbecause she got to share a bad situation she had with a student with her mentor group

      Everyone loves success stories, but humbling dialogues with your mentor or other educators about reflecting on negative endeavors are where true growth arises.

      While reading this article, I was impressed by the choice of an architect as a professional stand-in for appraisal theory and archival appraisal. Terry Cook could’ve picked any profession really but an architect is such a great choice in relation to macro-appraisal because of how broad an architects social and physical dynamics and interactions can be and also how varied the purpose of a architect’s design can be. It really seems like the perfect choice for this subject and I kind of got hung up in the second part of this article trying to think of a comparable or better example that wouldn’t necessarily overlap with an architect directly. A novelist? Some sort of mass transit (commercial plane, train, bus, etc.) designer? It’s tough to come up with a topic that suits this subject as well as an architect.

    1. Functional and Clinical Characterization of Variants of Uncertain Significance Identifies a Hotspot for Inactivating Missense Variants in RAD51C

      [Paper-level Aggregated] PMCID: PMC10390864

      Evidence Type(s): Functional, Oncogenic, Predictive, Prognostic

      Justification: Functional: The study assessed the influence of various RAD51C missense mutations on HDR DNA repair activity, categorizing them as deleterious, hypomorphic, or neutral based on their effects on HDR scores, indicating their functional impact on DNA repair mechanisms.

Functional: The study demonstrates that the HER3-V855A mutation alters the activity of HER3, affecting its interaction with HER2 and enhancing ligand-induced transformation, which suggests a functional impact on protein activity. Predictive: The findings indicate that tumors harboring the HER3-V855A mutation may predict response to targeted therapy, as the study shows differential sensitivity to HER inhibitors based on the presence of this mutation.

    1. Genomic Aberrations in Crizotinib Resistant Lung Adenocarcinoma Samples Identified by Transcriptome Sequencing

      [Paper-level Aggregated] PMCID: PMC4821611

      Evidence Type(s): Oncogenic, Predictive

      Justification: Oncogenic: The presence of ALK mutations (p.C1156Y and p.G1269A) in post-treatment tumor samples indicates their role in conferring resistance to crizotinib, suggesting an oncogenic function in the context of non-small cell lung cancer. Predictive: The identification of specific ALK mutations associated with resistance to crizotinib suggests that these mutations can predict treatment outcomes in patients with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer.

      Gene→Variant (gene-first): ALK(238):c.3467G>A ALK(238):c.3806G>C ALK(238):p.C1156Y ALK(238):p.G1269A
