Drawing on literatures on mobility and memory, I present a theoretical and interpretive reframing of skeletal taphonomy and mortuary process previously reported for a precontact Oneota cemetery in the North American midcontinent. Most burials here were single inhumations, with individuals apparently interred promptly after death. Others were placed in graves containing multiple individuals who died violently and whose bones bore taphonomic signatures of extended exposure, suggesting they were killed away from home and not recovered or interred until significant time had passed after their deaths. These burials were previously interpreted as haphazard and carelessly executed, possibly owing to circumstances of death. In this paper, I seek to better understand acts of encountering, collecting, transporting, and interring these decomposed remains as discursive practices, conditioned by localized mobility and charged with social memory. Rather than representing an aberrant burial treatment employed solely for expedient disposal, I suggest that their taphonomy and presence in the cemetery offer insights into intentional and repeated engagement with the landscape, invoking/perpetuating traditional Oneota practices involving skeletonized remains. This interpretation provides a case study on how osteologists can contribute to social perspectives on the power of mobile dead bodies in the deployment of memory and construction of place in the ancient past.

Abstract: A classification scheme for periodontal and peri‐implant diseases and conditions is necessary for clinicians to properly diagnose and treat patients as well as for scientists to investigate etiology, pathogenesis, natural history, and treatment of the diseases and conditions. This paper summarizes the proceedings of the World Workshop on the Classification of Periodontal and Peri‐implant Diseases and Conditions. The workshop was co‐sponsored by the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) and the European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) and included expert participants from all over the world. Planning for the conference, which was held in Chicago on November 9 to 11, 2017, began in early 2015. An organizing committee from the AAP and EFP commissioned 19 review papers and four consensus reports covering relevant areas in periodontology and implant dentistry. The authors were charged with updating the 1999 classification of periodontal diseases and conditions and developing a similar scheme for peri‐implant diseases and conditions. Reviewers and workgroups were also asked to establish pertinent case definitions and to provide diagnostic criteria to aid clinicians in the use of the new classification. All findings and recommendations of the workshop were agreed to by consensus. This introductory paper presents an overview for the new classification of periodontal and peri‐implant diseases and conditions, along with a condensed scheme for each of four workgroup sections, but readers are directed to the pertinent consensus reports and review papers for a thorough discussion of the rationale, criteria, and interpretation of the proposed classification. Changes to the 1999 classification are highlighted and discussed. Although the intent of the workshop was to base classification on the strongest available scientific evidence, lower level evidence and expert opinion were inevitably used whenever sufficient research data were unavailable. The scope of this workshop was to align and update the classification scheme to the current understanding of periodontal and peri‐implant diseases and conditions. This introductory overview presents the schematic tables for the new classification of periodontal and peri‐implant diseases and conditions and briefly highlights changes made to the 1999 classification. It cannot present the wealth of information included in the reviews, case definition papers, and consensus reports that has guided the development of the new classification, and reference to the consensus and case definition papers is necessary to provide a thorough understanding of its use for either case management or scientific investigation. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that the reader use this overview as an introduction to these subjects. Accessing this publication online will allow the reader to use the links in this overview and the tables to view the source papers (Table  ). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let δ∈(0,1]$\delta \in (0,1]$ and T be a δ‐Calderón–Zygmund operator. When p∈(0,1]$p\in (0,1]$ and b∈BMO(Rn)$b\in {\rm BMO}(\mathbb {R}^n)$, it is well‐known (see the work by Harboure, Segovia, and Torrea [Illinois J. Math. 41 (1997), no. 4, 676–700]) that the commutator [b,T]$[b, T]$ is not bounded from the Hardy space Hp(Rn)$H^p(\mathbb {R}^n)$ into the Lebesgue space Lp(Rn)$L^p(\mathbb {R}^n)$ if b is not a constant function. Let φ be a Musielak–Orlicz function satisfying that, for any (x,t)∈Rn×[0,∞)$(x,t)\in \mathbb {R}^n\times [0,\infty)$, φ(·,t)$\varphi (\cdot ,t)$ belongs to the Muckenhoupt weight class A∞(Rn)$A_\infty (\mathbb {R}^n)$ with the critical weight exponent q(φ)∈[1,∞)$q(\varphi)\in [1,\infty)$ and φ(x,·)$\varphi (x,\cdot)$ is an Orlicz function with the critical lower type i(φ)>q(φ)(1+δ/n)$i(\varphi)> q(\varphi)(1+\delta /n)$. In this paper, we find a proper subspace BMOφ(Rn)${\mathop \mathcal {BMO}_\varphi ({\mathbb {R}}^n)}$ of BMO(Rn)$\mathop \mathrm{BMO}(\mathbb {R}^n)$ such that, if b∈BMOφ(Rn),$b\in {\mathop \mathcal {BMO}_\varphi ({\mathbb {R}}^n),}$ then [b,T]$[b,T]$ is bounded from the Musielak–Orlicz Hardy space Hφ(Rn)$H^\varphi (\mathbb {R}^n)$ into the Musielak–Orlicz space Lφ(Rn)$L^\varphi (\mathbb {R}^n)$. Conversely, if b∈BMO(Rn)$b\in {\rm BMO}({\mathbb {R}}^n)$ and the commutators {[b,Rj]}j=1n$\lbrace [b,R_j]\rbrace _{j=1}^n$ of the classical Riesz transforms are bounded from Hφ(Rn)$H^\varphi ({\mathbb {R}}^n)$ into Lφ(Rn)$L^\varphi (\mathbb {R}^n)$, then b∈BMOφ(Rn)$b\in {\mathop \mathcal {BMO}_\varphi ({\mathbb {R}}^n)}$. Our results generalize some recent results by Huy and Ky [Vietnam J. Math. (2020). https://doi.org/10.1007/s10013‐020‐00406‐2] and Liang, Ky, and Yang [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 144 (2016), no. 12, 5171–5181]. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background We examined differences in response to self-reported alcohol use items by survey mode, whether self-report differences were the result of modality effects or self-selection, and whether these differences varied across the treatment and control arms of a preventative intervention trial. Methods Data from an existing alcohol prevention trial were used to estimate the effect of survey modality on adolescent's self-reported alcohol use at ages 17 to 18. Estimates were derived from regression models controlling for self-reported alcohol use during 8th grade, measured using a single survey modality, as well as time invariant selection factors. Results No statistically significant survey modality effects were found. No differential effects of survey modality were observed by assigned intervention group. Conclusions We provide initial evidence that adolescent alcohol prevention trials may use multiple survey modalities when necessary to increase response rates without harming interpretation of intervention effects.
