Charlotte Ashby has written an inspiring text on Modernism in the Nordic countries, a region, according to the book cover, 'associated with modernity: modern design, modern living and a modern welfare state'. The author highlights the borderlessness of ideas and the mobility of people, challenging established histories of modern art, architecture, and design that focus on the nation and on the idea of a natural, innate Nordic genius. Ashby provides solid background information about the region's political history, showing similarities but also differences between the five Nordic countries-Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway, and Iceland.

The article presents the authors' views on the idea of defining a delusion. They state that distinguishing delusions and over-valued ideas (OVI) is clinically difficult which can lead to diagnostic confusion and mistreatment. Also discussed are the aetiology of delusion, its symptoms, the features that define delusions and OVI, and the importance of elucidating delusions and OVI to improve the accuracy of diagnosis.

A common theory of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) symptom onset includes toddlers who do not display symptoms until well after age 2, which are termed late-onset ASD cases. Objectives were to analyze differences in clinical phenotype between toddlers identified as ASD at initial evaluations (early diagnosed) versus those initially considered nonspectrum, then later identified as ASD (late diagnosed). Two hundred seventy-three toddlers recruited from the general population based on a failed developmental screening form or parent or physician concerns were followed longitudinally from 12 months and identified as early- and late-diagnosed cases of ASD, language delayed, or typically developing. Toddlers completed common standardized assessments and experimental eye-tracking and observational measures every 9-12 months until age 3. Longitudinal performance on standardized assessments and experimental tests from initial evaluations were compared. Delay in social communication skills was seen in both ASD groups at early-age initial assessment, including increased preference for nonsocial stimuli, increased stereotypic play, reduced exploration, and use of gestures. On standardized psychometric assessments, early-diagnosed toddlers showed more impairment initially while late-diagnosed toddlers showed a slowing in language acquisition. Similar social communication impairments were present at very early ages in both early-detected ASD and so-called late-onset ASD. data indicate ASD is present whether detected or not by current methods, and development of more sensitive tools is needed.

By means of chemical kinetics modeling, it is possible to elucidate the main dissociation mechanisms of CO2 in a gliding arc plasmatron (GAP). We obtain good agreement between the calculated and experimental conversions and energy efficiencies, indicating that the model can indeed be used to study the underlying mechanisms. The calculations predict that vibration-induced dissociation is the main dissociation mechanism of CO2, but it occurs mainly from the lowest vibrational levels because of fast thermalization of the vibrational distribution. Based on these findings, we propose ideas for improving the performance of the GAP, but testing of these ideas in the simulations reveals that they do not always lead to significant enhancement, because of other side effects, thus illustrating the complexity of the process. Nevertheless, the model allows more insight into the underlying mechanisms to be obtained and limitations to be identified.

We propose the use of specific dynamical processes and more in general of ideas from Physics to model the evolution in time of musical structures. We apply this approach to two Etudes by F. Chopin, namely Op.10 n.3 and Op.25 n.1, proposing some original description based on concepts of symmetry breaking/restoration and quantum coherence, which could be useful for interpretation. In this analysis, we take advantage of colored musical scores, obtained by implementing Scriabin's color code for sounds to musical notation.

The article comments on the article 'Reframing Consent for Clinical Research: A Function-Based Approach.' Topics discussed include the argument that the standard view in research ethics is that the function of informed consent is to respect individual autonomy, the absence of respect for individual autonomy on the authors' list of functions of consent and basic elements of informed consent in the standard view.

In a study of veterinary online continuing education participants looking at professional identity, investigators observed that participants often referred to vets as infallible experts: 'all knowing and free from mistakes and errors' ( Armitage-Chan and others 2016 ).
Despite acknowledging that such an ideal simply wasn't feasible at the coal face of veterinary practice, these vets displayed poor coping skills when it came to managing errors, and were quick to criticise colleagues when exposed to videos depicting lapses in professionalism.
The emphasis on evidence-based medicine and technical skills maintains the focus on the 'ideal vet' as 'someone who knows everything and is highly technically competent' ( Armitage-Chan and others 2016 ).
