Why Are There So Many Ways to Measure Pain? Epistemological and Professional Challenges in Medical Standardization by Hanna Grol-Prokopczyk

“…Many respond to the considerable challenge of treating pain intensity by redefining their work—sometimes in the face of resistance from patients—around other, putatively more treatable domains, such as disability. The diverse, arguably unstandardized approaches to measuring pain appear attributable less to pain’s epistemological fragility than to its therapeutic intractability, and to the medical community’s diffuse social structures and professional goals.…”

Interpreting EU Internal Market Powers in Light of Article 9 TFEU Social Objectives: Implications for the Attribution of Competences by Silvia Giudici

“…The main argument proposed is that the obligation to read internal market powers in light of Article 9 TFEU not only influences the use of EU competences to pursue certain social objectives, but also leads to an expansion of EU harmonising powers in domains that remain of national competence. Thus, the division between EU and Member State competences becomes increasingly blurred. …”

Order in Chaos: Lesser-Conserved and Repeat Structures in Dehydrins by G. Richard Strimbeck

“…An examination of the connecting segments bridging the conserved segments identified additional conserved patterns, suggesting that multi-Y, S-K, and K-S domains may act as functional units. Dhn Decoder identified 857 Dhns with repeat structures, ranging from 3 short, simple repeats to elaborate variations with up to 45 repeats or repeats of up to 85 residues comprising 1 or more of the conserved segments, suggesting that internal sequence duplication is an important mode of evolution in Dhns.…”
