Feedback and formative assessment—looking backwards to move forward by Nora McCarthy, Karen Neville, Andrew Pope

“…Incorporating the original definition components into the current definition of ‘feedback’ in education circles may negate the need for the term ‘formative assessment’ altogether, which carries with it the inevitable negative connotations associated with the word assessment. Words matter. Medical education, with the introduction of competency-based medical education (CBME) and entrustable professional activities offers a timely opportunity to re-visit such terms, with ‘feedback’ and ‘formative assessment’ being central to these processes. …”

Differences in Cortical Representation and Structural Connectivity of Hands and Feet between Professional Handball Players and Ballet Dancers by Jessica Meier, Marlene Sofie Topka, Jürgen Hänggi

“…Here we aimed at investigating sport-specific adaptations in professional handball players and ballet dancers by focusing on the primary motor and somatosensory grey matter (GM) representation of hands and feet using voxel-based morphometry as well as on fractional anisotropy (FA) of the corticospinal tract by means of diffusion tensor imaging-based fibre tractography. …”

Ocean stratification impedes particulate transport to the plumes of Enceladus by Flynn Ames, David Ferreira, Arnaud Czaja, Adam Masters

“…However, the extent to which plume material represents conditions at Enceladus’ depths is unclear, because of its unknown ocean stratification, which may impede the transport of matter to the ocean top. Previous studies have found conflicting stratification regimes using differing parameter choices and model physics. …”

A «necklace» of large clusters of strategic raw materials over a stagnant oceanic slab in East Asia by Natalia Boriskina

“…Decompression and advection, which are particularly active near the natural boundaries of the slab, act as triggers for the intense interaction of under and over subduction asthenospheric fluids with adjacent sections of the mantle and for the directed upwelling of powerful flows of matter and energy into the lithosphere. These flows determine the locations of intermediate and peripheral magma chambers: Primary chambers in the lower lithosphere among the metasomatized mantle and lower crust and associated chambers in the middle and upper cratonized parts of the lithosphere. …”
