LARS-like symptoms in the general population may suggest the significance of postoperative functional problems and emotional implications of rectal surgery by Tudor-Cristian Frunza, Sorinel Lunca, Iustina Baciu, Iulia Axinia, Cezar Valentin Mocanu, Andreea Crudu, Narcis Bujor, Lucia Flavia Livenschi, Claudiu Alexandru Nicolaiev, Andreea Hulubencu, Anca Diaconu, Emilia Valasciu, Ioana Jalobceastai, Malina Tibirna, Mihail Gabriel Dimofte

“…Age does not influence the prevalence of LARS, but symptoms seem more prevalent in women. The psycho-emotional impact is relevant to the general population, so explanations given during the informed consent and accurate description of potential consequences of surgical intervention increase compliance to ensure better post-operative control of the symptomatology. …”

A New Extended Jacobi Elliptic Function Expansion Method and Its Application to the Generalized Shallow Water Wave Equation by Yafeng Xiao, Haili Xue, Hongqing Zhang

“…With the aid of symbolic computation, a new extended Jacobi elliptic function expansion method is presented by means of a new ansatz, in which periodic solutions of nonlinear evolution equations, which can be expressed as a finite Laurent series of some 12 Jacobi elliptic functions, are very effective to uniformly construct more new exact periodic solutions in terms of Jacobi elliptic function solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations. …”

Identifying students of concern. Primary school teachers’ reflections on assessing students’ general school functioning based on the concept of typicality by Stine Ekornes, Solveig Holen, Jo Magne Ingul, Simon-Peter Neumer, Frode Adolfsen, Elisabeth Valmyr Bania

“…It is also identified that a safe psychosocial environment where students feel confident speaking up and exploring new ideas, is recognized as essential or optimal school functioning and attendance. This is especially important for children experiencing sadness or anxiety.DiscussionBy understanding more of how teachers reason when assessing students’ general school functioning, we can aid their efforts to identify students of concern. …”
