Do Weather-Induced Moods Affect the Processing of Earnings News?

We investigate whether unpleasant environmental conditions affect stock market participants’ responses to information events. We draw from psychology research to develop a new prediction that weather-induced negative moods reduce market participants’ activity levels. Exploiting geographic variation in equity analysts’ locations, we find compelling evidence that analysts experiencing unpleasant weather are slower or less likely to respond to an earnings announcement relative to analysts responding to the same announcement but experiencing pleasant weather. Price association tests find evidence consistent with reduced activity due to weather-induced moods delaying equilibrium price adjustments following earnings announcements. We also use our analyst-based research design to re-examine an existing prediction that unpleasant weather induces investor pessimism, and find evidence of both analyst pessimism and reduced activity in the presence of unpleasant weather. Together, our study provides new evidence that both extends and reaffirms findings of a relation between unpleasant weather and market activities, and contributes to the broader psychology and economics literature on the impact of weather-induced mood on labor productivity.
Significance of anti-nucleosome antibodies in systemic lupus erythematosus

[Objective] To evaluate the clinical significance of determining serum anti-nucleosome antibodies(ANuA)in systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE) patients. [Methods] The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was used to measure the ANuA in serum of 66 SLE patients, 85 patients with other rheumatic diseases (including primary sjogren′s syndrome, dermatomyositis, polymyositis, systemic sclerosis, rheumatoid arithritis, ankylosing spondylitis, adult still disease) and 30 healthy controls. And then analyzed the relationships between ANuA and the clinical manifestations or some other laboratory results in the SLE patients. [Results] Of 66 SLE patients 65.2% were seropositive for ANuA. In contrast, only 1.2% of 85 control patients were seropositive (P 0.01) and none of the healthy controls were seropositive (P 0.01). The sensitivity and specificity of ANuA in SLE were 65.2% and 99.1% respectively. The incidences of erythra, alopecia and lupus nephritis(LN) in ANuA positive SLE patients were 90.7%, 58.1%, 69.8% respectively and significantly higher than those of ANuA negative SLE patients(34.8%,21.7%, 39.1%) (P 0.05). The positive rate of ANuA was significantly different between the active and the relieved SLE patients (P 0.01). There were no significant difference in immunoglobulins and complements between positive and negative ANuA of SLE patients (P 0.05). The positive rates of ANuA in SLE patients with negative anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA), anti-dsDNA and anti-Smith antibodies were 50.0%, 57.1%, 64.4% respectively. [Conclusion] ANuA may be a useful tool for the diagnosis and activity assessment in SLE patients, especially in the patients with negative ANA, anti-dsDNA or anti-Smith antibodies and the patients with lupus nephritis.
The Impact of World Oil Prices Fluctuation on Indonesia's Economy

This study aims to determine the impact of oil price shocks in the world markets on the economy of Indonesia during 2000–2011. Based on monthly time series data and using VAR model, the study tries to analyze effects of oil price shocks to economic growth, inflation rates, money supply, real exchange rates and interest rates. The results show several conclusions: (i) the oil price shocks in the world market have a positive impact on quarterly economic growth; (ii) it also pushes up the domestic inflation rate for a year; (iii) it increases the domestic money supply which lasts for 5 months; (iv) it negatively affects the real exchange rate of Rupiah for 10 months and (v) it leads to rising domestic interest rates (the effect of oil shocks on interest rates lasted for 10 months). Therefore, government needs to take steps that could transform the people habits of fuel uses from wasteful to the efficient one. In addition, the alternative energy development also needs to promoted .
Growth of International Cooperation in Science: Revisiting Six Case Studies

International collaboration in science continues to grow at a remarkable rate, but little agreement exists about dynamics of growth and organization at the discipline level. Some suggest that disciplines differ in their collaborative tendencies, reflecting their epistemic culture. This study examines collaborative patterns in six previously studied specialties to add new data and conduct analyses over time. Our findings show that the global network of collaboration continues to add new nations and new participants; each specialty has added many new nations to its lists of collaborating partners since 1990. We also find that the scope of international collaboration is positively related to impact. Network characteristics for the six specialties are notable in that instead of reflecting underlying culture, they tend towards convergence. This observation suggests that the global level may represent next-order dynamics that feed back to the national and local levels (as subsystems) in a complex, networked hierarchy.
Effects of Obesity, Body Image Dissatisfaction and Dietary Habits on the Risk of Disturbed Eating Attitudes among High School Students in Gyunggi Province, Korea

Rapid shift to western dietary patterns and social drive of thinness would lead to increase the likelihood of developing eating disorders. This study was performed to analyze the associated factors between dietary pattern and self visualization in terms of body shape, which may increase the risk of disturbed eating attitudes among high school students in Korea. A cross-sectional study was conducted from 2009 to 2010 for high school students including both male and female students, from 6 schools in Gyunggi Province, Korea. A total of 766 students self-reported a questionnaire, including weight control practice, perceptions of self body image and ideal body image, dietary habit, and EAT-26 (Eating Attitude Test-26). Logistic regression analysis was used to fine the factors potentially associated with disturbed eating attitudes. Statistical analysis was conducted using SAS program (version 9.1). Results showed that disturbed eating attitudes were found in 8.7% of male high school students, and in 20.8% of female high school students. Experience of body weight control was reported by 56.2% of male students and by 87.3% of female students. According to multiple logistic regression analysis, obesity was independently associated with high risk of disturbed eating attitudes in male students [Odds Ratios (OR) 2.96, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 0.90-9.71]. Body image dissatisfaction (OR 2.77, 95%CI 1.37-5.62) and extended family type (OR 2.70, 95%CI 1.05-6.90) were independently associated with high risk of disturbed eating attitudes, especially in female students. In conclusion, proper efforts in education for obesity and developing self-esteem to reduce the risks of disturbed eating attitudes should be implemented in high school nutrition program.

Cleidocranial dysplasia. Craniofacial morphology in adult patients

The aim of the study was to carry out a detailed quantitative analysis of craniofacial morphology in a relatively large sample (N = 35) of adult patients with cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) in order to contribute to the understanding of the characteristic craniofacial abnormalities. Roentgencephalometric films in the lateral, frontal, and basal projections were analyzed and mean facial diagrams for the lateral and frontal films were produced based on registration of 216 reference points. In the calvaria an increased width and a relatively more prominent frontal region were found. In the cranial base the most significant findings were reduced width, a cranial displacement of the clivus and sella, and an anteriorly facing foramen magnum. The orbital openings were high and narrow and nearly all patients had hypoplasia or aplasia of the nasal bones. The maxilla and mandible were reduced in height and width and the mandible was anteriorly inclined. It was concluded that all craniofacial regions are affected in CCD. Based on the present and previous studies, it is suggested that the abnormal craniofacial morphology in CCD may be explained by the skeletal dysplasia, combined with early cranial deformation and dysplastic and compensatory skeletal growth. Thus, the findings lead to the comprehension that several primary and secondary causal factors are involved in craniofacial morphogenesis in CCD, and that knowledge of early development is important when etiology and pathogenesis in a syndrome is searched for.
The Trade of Medieval Europe: the South

The First Five Hundred Years The basic trends In the dim light of its scanty documentation, the first half of the Middle Ages in the European South looks like a multisecular trough of depression between the crest of the Roman prime and the higher crest of the late medieval Commercial Revolution. It started dismally: by 476, when a handful of Barbarians seized the last remnant of the Roman Empire in the West, the native population had been cut down by epidemics, thinned out by genetic infertility and soil exhaustion, oppressed by fiscal and political depotism, demoralised by military defeats and unnerved by prophecies of imminent doom. Commerce had taken crippling losses. Communications were breaking down, coinage was scarce and debased, fewer and fewer agricultural and industrial products were available for sale, the purchasing power of all but the wealthiest individuals had been eroded. The formerly tight network of laborious cities and well-cultivated fields was changing to a sparse pattern of virtually self-sufficient large estates surrounded by no man's land. The crisis was not restricted to the European South alone – possibly its remotest roots went back to an unfavourable pulsation of climate affecting the whole temperate area of Eurasia ever since the second century of our era – but it was not everywhere irreversible. The eastern provinces of the Roman Empire, whose cities and merchants had long outshone their western counterparts, had a remarkable come-back after 476, as the settling down of a large proportion of the Barbarians in the West relieved pressure on the East.
The Discussion of Thoracic Imaging Manifestations of SARS

Objective:To discuss the thoracic imaging features of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). Method : 51 patients (age 9 to 75) of SARS diagnosed clinically were reviewed. All cases had a history of close contacting with infected persons. Anteroposterior and lateral chest direct digitalized radiography (DR) were performed in each case. Results:Of 51 cases reviewed, widespread multilobar involvement in one side or both sides of lungs were observed in a proportion of 58. 8% (30/51). Lesions tended to distribute in the peripheral zone of lung fields, which were found in a proportion of 82. 4% (42/51). Focal lesion showed patchy, fan-shaped or elliptical at early stage in 43 cases (84. 3%), A low density homogeneous ground-glass consolidation was seen in 32 cases (62. 7%). With disease progress, opacity scope enlargement was showed in 27 cases (51. 9%), and the consolidation became central dense and confluent in 2 cases (3. 9%). Post resolution fibrosis was recorded in 5 cases (9. 8%). Conclusions:The SARS developed rapidly upon a basic pathology of acute pulmonary damage. Pulmonary interstitial inflammation mostly contributeedto the thorax imaging findings. The disease would be classified into four stages according to progress: congestion,interstitial exudation, evolution and alveolus infiltration. Fibrosis remained after resolution. Digitalized radiogram was helpful for more accurate analysis and diagnosis of the disease.
The Usefulness of Survey Information on the Wantedness of Children

In this paper we assess the value of retrospectively-ascertained information on the wantedness of children by evaluating (i) the extent to which such information provides an unbiased estimate of the excess births occurring solely as a consequence of imperfect fertility control and (ii) whether information on the wantedness of a child is a good predictor of its subsequent treatment by parents-whether unwantedness signals neglect. We formulate a dynamic model of fertility incorporating stochastic fertility control, uncertain child traits and information accumulation from which we can formulate a rigorous definition of child-specific unwantedness. Based on information on both retrospectively obtained and pre-birth information on wantedness and on children's birthweight, we find that parents are more likely to report that children are wanted ex post if they have a better birth outcome and exhibit overly optimistic expectations about their children's traits andlor risk preferences. As a consequence, published statistics on the prevalence of unwanted births overstate the true proportion due to contraceptive failure by 26 percent.
Ostéonécrose vertébrale. A propos de 3 cas dont 1 compliqué d'une compression médullaire et 2 associés à une autre localisation nécrotique.

: The authors report three cases of vertebral osteonecrosis which presented the phenomenon of intra-vertebral space. These patients had osteoporosis with vertebral compression. Two received steroid therapy. One case progressively developed spinal cord compression and the two other cases had an associated osteonecrosis (femoral head and talus). After reviewing the literature, the authors stress the relative frequency of neurological complications, in particular spinal cord compression (7 per cent).

Drug Utilization Pattern of Antibiotics: The Role of Age, Sex and Municipalities in Determining Variation

Purpose The purpose was to analyze drug prescription and antibiotic use by age and sex in Italy’s Campania Region, and to estimate the distribution of prescription rates in children (≤14 years old), adults (between 15 and 65 years old), and older adults (≥65 years old) at a municipality level. Methods This was a retrospective analysis of pharmacy records in Campania (Southern Italy), in 2016. Difference in antibiotic prescriptions in different age groups was assessed by prevalence rates. Age-adjusted prevalence rates were categorized into quintiles and mapped by the patient’s municipality of residence. Relationship between prevalence rates for the different age groups was estimated using the non-parametric Spearman rank correlation test. Results There were 2,738,118 were patients with at least one antibiotic prescription. Antibiotics prescription was higher in children aged <5 years and in the older adults aged >70 years. Prevalence rate distribution was different among municipalities in all age groups. A positive correlation between the rank distribution of prevalence rates at municipality level was identified for children and adults (rs=0.56; P<0.01), adults and the older adults (rs=0.79; P<0.01), and children and the older adults (rs=0.46; P<0.01). Among the studied age groups, the most prescribed antibiotic class was penicillin (except the older adults aged ≥85 years) ranging from 45% in children to 27.2% in the older adults. Fluoroquinolones were the least prescribed antibiotic class, ranging from 0.2% in children to 30.2% in the older adults. Conclusion A considerably high use of antibiotic drugs has been detected in Campania Region, with values exceeding the regional and national average. Prescriptions at municipal level differ from one age group to another. Antibiotic use is often unjustified, and to decrease the number of prescriptions and improve their appropriateness, several measures at territorial level are recommended.
Improvement After Vestibular Rehabilitation Not Explained by Improved Passive VOR Gain

Gaze stability exercises are a critical component of vestibular rehabilitation for individuals with vestibular hypofunction and many studies reveal the rehabilitation improves functional performance. However, few studies have examined the vestibular physiologic mechanisms (semicircular canal; otolith) responsible for such recovery after patients with vestibular hypofunction complete gaze and gait stability exercises. The purpose of this study was to compare behavioral outcome measures (i.e., visual acuity during head rotation) with physiological measures (i.e., gain of the vestibulo-ocular reflex) of gaze stability following a progressive vestibular rehabilitation program in patients following unilateral vestibular deafferentation surgery (UVD). We recruited n = 43 patients (n = 18 female, mean 52 ± 13 years, range 23–80 years) after unilateral deafferentation from vestibular schwannoma; n = 38 (25 female, mean 46.9 ± 15.9 years, range 22–77 years) age-matched healthy controls for dynamic visual acuity testing, and another n = 28 (14 female, age 45 ± 17, range 20–77 years) healthy controls for video head impulse testing. Data presented is from n = 19 patients (14 female, mean 48.9 ± 14.7 years) with UVD who completed a baseline assessment ~6 weeks after surgery, 5 weeks of vestibular physical therapy and a final measurement. As a group, subjective and fall risk measures improved with a meaningful clinical relevance. Dynamic visual acuity (DVA) during active head rotation improved [mean ipsilesional 38.57% ± 26.32 (n = 15/19)]; mean contralesional 39.96% ± 22.62 (n = 12/19), though not uniformly. However, as a group passive yaw VOR gain (mean ipsilesional pre 0.44 ± 0.18 vs. post 0.44 ± 0.15; mean contralesional pre 0.81 ± 0.19 vs. post 0.85 ± 0.09) did not show any change (p ≥ 0.4) after rehabilitation. The velocity of the overt compensatory saccades during ipsilesional head impulses were reduced after rehabilitation; no other metric of oculomotor function changed (p ≥ 0.4). Preserved utricular function was correlated with improved yaw DVA and preserved saccular function was correlated with improved pitch DVA. Our results suggest that 5 weeks of vestibular rehabilitation using gaze and gait stability exercises improves both subjective and behavioral performance despite absent change in VOR gain in a majority of patients, and that residual otolith function appears correlated with such change.
THU0477 Serum Levels of Resistin and Interleukin-17 are Associated with Increased Cartilage Defects and Bone Marrow Lesions in Patients with Knee Symptomatic Osteoarthritis

Background Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease characterized by a number of structural changes including cartilage loss and subchondral bone abnormalities. Metabolic triggered inflammation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of OA. Serum resistin levels increase with obesity in humans and the specific functions of resistin and IL-17 are still unknown in the development of knee OA. Objectives To investigate cross-sectional associations between serum levels of resistin and interleukin-17 and cartilage defects and bone marrow lesions in patients with knee symptomatic osteoarthritis (OA). Methods 194 randomly-selected patients with knee symptomatic OA (mean 55.4 years, range 34 to 74, 87% females) were included in Anhui Osteoarthritis (AHOA) Study. Knee cartilage defects and bone marrow lesions were determined at medial and lateral tibial, femoral and patellar sites using T2-weighted fat-suppressed fast spin echo MRI. Serum resistin and IL-17 levels were measured using ELISA. Results Serum resistin was positively associated with cartilage defects at lateral femoral (OR: 1.23, 95%CI 1.12 to 1.35), lateral tibial (OR: 1.14, 95%CI 1.04 to 1.24) and medial tibial (OR: 1.13, 95%CI 1.03 to 1.23) sites after adjustment for covariates. The significant associations were also present with bone marrow lesions at lateral femoral (OR: 1.19, 95%CI 1.09 to 1.30) and tibial sites (OR: 1.13, 95%CI 1.02 to 1.24) after adjustment for covariates. All these associations remained significant after further adjustment for IL-17. In patients with highest quartiles of hs-CRP (>2.45 pg/ml), IL-17 was significantly associated with total cartilage defect score (r=0.267, p=0.001) and cartilage defects at nearly all sites (except for medial tibial) after adjustment for covariates. These significant associations decreased in magnitude and became non significant at medial femoral, lateral tibial and patellar sites after further adjustment for resistin. Similarly, IL-17 was significantly associated with BMLs at lateral and medial femoral sites after adjustment for covariates, and the association at lateral femoral site became non significant after further adjustment for resistin. Conclusions Serum levels of resistin are independently and consistently associated with cartilage defects and BMLs in patients with knee OA. In addition, the associations of serum IL-17 with cartilage defects and BMLs in patients with a higher inflammatory status are largely mediated by resistin suggesting resistin may play a key role in cartilage loss and bone abnormalities in patients with knee OA.

The Twelve Steps and Adolescent Recovery: A Concise Review

Recovery and long-term remission are the goals of treatment for substance use disorders, yet the majority of treated adolescents never stop using or resume using substances quickly after treatment. Thus, continuing care or recovery support services are common post-treatment recommendations for this group. Almost half of people who resolved significant substance use problems did so through participation in 12-step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous. These recovery support programs are available online and in communities around the world. Yet <2% of these programs’ members are under 21 years old. To help clinicians understand the 12-step explanatory model and facilitate clinical decision making on whether or when to refer individuals to these groups, this article summarizes the 12-step philosophy and practices and provides a concise review of research on adolescents’ involvement in 12-step groups, including qualitative work that illuminates adolescents’ reasons for resisting or engaging in 12-step practices.
