Description of the Don Kalmyks by the First Don Cossack Authors: аn Experiment in Critical Characterization by Artem Yu. Peretyatko

“…The presented article is devoted to the complex reconstruction of the syncretic image of the Don Kalmyks formed in the synchronous narratives of Cossack historians and publicists. A systematic analysis of the previous historiographic tradition indicates that the considered range of regional sources has not been sufficiently used in the framework of scientific analysis, which determines favorable prospects for modern research practice that complements the previously obtained epistemological results. …”

Preferences for Attachment Devices for Individuals with Lower-Limb Loss: A Discrete-Choice Study to Inform Regulatory Decisions by Leslie Wilson, Matthew Garibaldi, Ruben Vargas, Molly Timmerman

“…The preference for avoiding current osseointegration infection risk (10%) was much lower (β = 0.51, P < 0.001), showing that preferences to avoid the actual infection risk are offset by osseointegrations benefits. Latent class analysis showed 2 distinct classes with some risk averse and some with more balanced preferences. …”
