Born into a family where the pursuit of knowledge was paramount, my educational odyssey was anything but ordinary. From a tender age, the distance to school was a daily testament to my family's unwavering support and belief in the power of education to alter destinies. This belief, deeply rooted in the cultural fabric of Vietnam and influenced by centuries of Confucian tradition, views education as the ultimate catalyst for change, especially during times of adversity.
My educational voyage was marked by serendipitous moments and milestones, from being selected for the Gifted class in 4th grade amidst family trials to joining the ranks of national Math competition participants, a journey made unique by regulatory changes that followed. Such experiences not only shaped my academic pursuits but also instilled in me the values of resilience and dedication.
As years passed, the landscape of my educational journey evolved, marked by the ebb and flow of school relocations and the richness of learning experiences both within and beyond the classroom. The lessons learned, from overcoming obstacles to cherishing the narratives of fictional characters, have been invaluable, guiding me through competitions and shaping my perspective on education and life.
A pivotal moment came in 9th grade when a disappointing second place in a national competition became a watershed in my quest for knowledge, transforming a moment of despair into a stepping stone for future endeavors. This episode, emblematic of the highs and lows of my journey, highlighted the essence of perseverance and the continuous pursuit of excellence.
As I transitioned from a student in a remote province to an aspiring learner in Hanoi and beyond, the journey has been replete with challenges and opportunities, teaching me that true learning goes beyond academic achievements to encompass the lessons of life itself.
This edition of MindLetter is an invitation to reflect on the journeys we all undertake in the pursuit of knowledge and self-discovery. As I continue to share my story in future editions, exploring the dreams I've chased and the experiences that have enriched my journey, I look forward to engaging with you all on this ongoing path of learning and growth.
The 12th edition of Systema Naturae was the last edition of Systema Naturae to be overseen by its author, Carl Linnaeus. It was published by Laurentius Salvius in Holmia (Stockholm) in three volumes, with parts appearing from 1766 to 1768.[1] It contains many species not covered in the previous edition, the 10th edition which was the starting point for zoological nomenclature.
Only five editions of Systema Naturae were written by Linnaeus himself, namely the first, second, sixth, tenth and twelfth.[2] When a "starting point" for zoological nomenclature was first considered, in the Strickland Code of 1843, the 12th edition of Systema Naturae was chosen, so that any names which Linnaeus had altered from previous editions would be recorded in their final state.[3] It was later replaced by the 10th edition as the starting point for most zoological nomenclature.[4] The starting point for most names in botanical nomenclature is the 1753 work Species Plantarum.[5]
Many species were included in the 12th edition which had not been included in earlier editions. For example, Linnaeus had included 700 species of mollusc in the 10th edition, and added a further 100 species for the 12th edition.[8] Similarly, the number of bird species in the 12th edition was twice the number in the 10th edition.[9] Sponges were included in the 12th edition, in the class "Zoophyta", having been omitted from previous editions.[10] The 12th edition also included the hundred insect species published separately in Centuria Insectorum,[2] and omitted a claim which Linnaeus had made in earlier editions, that new species do not form,[11] implicitly allowing speciation.Also, on the last page of the book, Linnaeus added a new genus he named "chaos" in order zoophyta, class vermes. Into that order were included some species, like chaos fungorum,chaos ustilagum, chaos protheus, chaos redivivum,chaos infusorium. In fact, chaos infusorium included every known protist of the 18th century (except volvox, that was divided into his own genus).
Well over 11 million people are held in penal institutions throughout the world, according to the latest edition of the World Prison Population List (WPPL), researched and compiled by Roy Walmsley and published on 6 November 2018 by the Institute for Criminal Policy Research (ICPR), at Birkbeck, University of London.
Based on published prison population numbers the total worldwide prison population stands at 10.74 million. However, the total is well in excess of 11 million if numbers estimated to be held in detention centres in China and in prisons camps in North Korea are included.
There are more than 2.1 million prisoners in the United States of America. China holds almost 1.7 million prisoners (plus an unknown number in pre-trial detention and other forms of detention). Brazil has almost 700,000 prisoners, the Russian Federation almost 600,000, and there are around 400,000 prisoners in both India and Thailand. Indonesia, Turkey and Iran each have around a quarter of a million prisoners.
Over the three years since the last edition of the World Prison Population List was published, the divergence in prison population trends has been notable. The following are among the countries which have shown the sharpest increase in prison population rate:
The net result of these divergent trends is a world in which the rate of increase in the known total prison population (3.7%) continues to exceed the increase in the general population (3.0%). This is also a world with vast disparities in prison population rates; for example:
It is of great concern that there are now well over 11 million people held in penal institutions throughout the world. What is of greater concern is that prison populations continue to rise sharply in some parts of the world. This should prompt policy makers in all countries to consider what they can do to limit the numbers in custody, given the high costs and disputed efficacy of imprisonment and the fact that prison overcrowding is widespread.
The widely divergent trends in patterns of imprisonment around the world show there is nothing inevitable about prison population growth. Many factors determine the extent to which a country incarcerates its people; but where there is political will to curb the use of imprisonment, this can be achieved.
Editors interested in contributing to the textbook can send their proposals to vascular.org/rutherfordrfa, where Society for Vascular Surgery members will review them. The deadline for submitting proposals is no later than 5 p.m. CDT, Thursday, Sept. 7. The chosen editors will have the opportunity to shape the Rutherford textbook and advance the vascular surgery field through collaborative efforts.
Dr. Perler is excited to collaborate with Drs. Sidawy and Harris on the 11th edition of the book, which marks its 50th anniversary. He is also looking forward to working with their successors to kickstart the next 50 years of the publication.
The SVS Publications Committee will review the submitted proposals and select three to four candidates for virtual interviews in November of this year. Following the interviews, the SVS Executive Board will finalize and approve the editors for the 12th edition. The newly appointed editors will shadow the current editors to familiarize themselves with the process, ensuring a seamless transition for the upcoming edition.
Interested parties may submit written proposals that address several key aspects. The proposal should outline the composition of the editorial team, emphasizing the relevant backgrounds and strengths of individual team members. Factors such as previous editorial experience, book authorship, publishing experience and the ability to assess, compile and edit content across the spectrum of vascular surgery are crucial considerations.
The SVS Publications Committee will evaluate the proposed team's management experience and leadership success. Prospective editors should demonstrate their ability to deliver large-scale projects on time and within budget, emphasizing their skills in team building, author recruitment and timely content delivery.
The editorial team's vision and original concepts for improving and optimizing the 12th edition of the textbook will be central to the selection process. The SVS encourages proposals that extend beyond traditional book publishing, exploring innovative approaches to multi-channel content delivery.
The textbook serves as a testament to the collective knowledge and expertise of the vascular surgery community and the upcoming 12th edition promises to build upon its sterling legacy, embracing new frontiers and emerging trends in the field. Visit vascular.org/rutherfordrfa for more information.
The new edition is printed in slightly larger type on larger pages, so the length is approximately the same. The reference system, identifying portions by section number rather than by page and line number, is an improvement. An electronic edition has been published at the same time, and the use of section numbers makes referring between the paper and electronic version much easier.
