TRUST IN THE FAITH GAME

General trust, or trust in people with unknown personal backgrounds and with whom there is no interpersonal relationship, is key for the formation of an effective society. The Trust Game has long been a popular behavioral measurement of general trust; however, other measurements, such as the Faith Game, are increasingly attracting attention. Nevertheless, while the psychological and neural mechanisms of trust in the Trust Game have been revealed in numerous studies, little is known about trust in the Faith Game. In the present study, we exploratorily examined how behavioral trust in both the Trust Game and Faith Game correlates with trust-related individual characteristics (i.e., attitudinal trust, social caution, and social value orientation). The results showed that attitudinal trust is only related to the trust shown in the Trust Game, and that risk aversion and betrayal aversion are related to the trust shown in both games.
Graduate migration, self-selection and urban wage premiums across the regional hierarchy

We use Swedish longitudinal population register data on university graduates and estimate the effect of migration on earnings. Migration between regional labour markets is used to identify static and dynamic agglomeration effects on earnings. Heterogeneity in effects is examined by individuals’ position in the ability distribution and by origin-destination size categories of regional labour markets. The results indicate that the effect of upward migration (from smaller to larger labour markets) on earnings is positive throughout. Downward migration (from larger to smaller labour markets) is generally associated with negative or no convincing signs of positive effects on earnings. The estimates indicate positive short-term urban wage premiums (UWP) for all origin-destination flows of upward migration, especially high UWP for in-migration to the Stockholm labour market region. The UWP of upward migration is positive also for movers in the lower end of the ability distribution, but it is substantially higher for high ability migrants. We also find evidence of a positive dynamic UWP of migration to Stockholm from the other regions, particularly for high ability migrants.

Functional State of Military Personnel Engaged in Unarmed Combat

Thirty-two soldiers engaged in hand-to-hand combat participated in the survey (Master of Sports (MS) 4 people, Candidate Master of Sports (KMS) 12 people, and the first sports category (I) 16 people). The surveys were conducted under the aegis of the Hetman Petras Sagaidachny National University of Ground Forces (Lviv). The study made it possible to predict and evaluate the functional state of the cardiovascular system of military captains, to carry out a qualitative selection in the sports section with hand-to-hand combat, as well as to rationally construct training regimens, competitions and monitor their functional status. It is established that the servicemen who are engaged in the hand-to-hand combat segment have a high level of physical development, excellent cardiac performance, are of the normotonic type and have average values of general physical capacity (PWC170) and aerobic possibilities, namely maximum oxygen consumption.
NOTE ON THE PROPORTIONS OF FINANCIAL ASSETS WITH DEPENDENT DISTRIBUTIONS IN OPTIMAL PORTFOLIOS

In this paper we shall study the proportions of the financial assets in optimal portfolios, where the portfolio is optimized by the maximization of its expected utility with respect to a given utility function. Our main goal is to investigate the magnitude of the proportions of the assets in optimal portfolios provided that the assets’ distributions display a certain type of stochastic dominance, which means that one asset is better in a certain sense than the other. Our main question is to understand why people buy more of an asset than of another one. For this, we introduce and study new notions of stochastic dominance which can be appropriate candidates for the study of the proportions. Based on these notions we derive new versions (and a generalization) of the results of Hadar and Seo [1], where, in case of independent asset returns, the stochastic dominance of the returns implies that the dominant asset has a larger proportion in the optimal portfolio. Our results apply to not necessarily independent returns as well. We give several realistic examples in which these new types of stochastic dominance are fulfilled.
Determinants of Capital Structure: Evidence from Financially Distressed Firms in Malaysia

The purpose of this research is to contribute to the finance literature by providing further evidence on the determinants of capital structure. This research is novel given the fact that not many researches has been done on firms classified as financially distressed. In this research, firm level yearly data of firms listed as financially distressed under the requirement of Practice Notes 4, Amended Practice Notes 17 and Practice Notes 17 were used. The final sample consists of 190 observations. Static panel data analysis techniques were considered in analyzing the data. The results of the regression suggest that firm’s changes in investment, investment opportunity, tangible assets, intangible assets and liquid assets is the independent variable found to have a statistically significant relationship with capital structure. The remaining independent variables do not appear to have a statistically significant relationship with capital structure.
THE MYSTERY OF THE DIFFERENCE IN THE LEVEL OF GENERAL TRUST IN CHINA AND JAPAN

Previous studies show that the level of general trust in China is higher than in Japan, but the reason has not been explained sufficiently. In this study, I seek to explain this cultural difference in terms of trust among indirect friends and expectations of self-disclosure. I predicted that trust among indirect friends and expectations of self-disclosure would be higher in China, which would result in a higher level of general trust. Eighty-eight Chinese high school students and 63 Japanese undergraduate students completed my questionnaire. I replicated the cultural differences in the level of general trust. However, relational mobility, which explained cultural differences in the level of general trust in previous studies, did not explain my data. There were no cultural differences in trust among indirect friends, and expectations of self-disclosure were not higher in China. Ultimately, I failed to find an explanation for the cultural difference of general trust.

Osteoarticular Involvement and Inadequate Treatment of Brucellosis Are Related with Relapse

Introduction: The goal of treatment in brucellosis is to control symptoms for preventing the development of complications and relapse of infection. Aim of this study was to evaluate the risk factors for relapse in brucellosis patients, including those with complications. Materials and Methods: Our study was performed retrospectively with data from three centers. The complication of brucellosis was defined as the involvement of specific anatomical regions by the disease. Recurrence of symptoms and signs of brucellosis 6 months after termination of treatment and increased standard tube agglutination titer under treatment or isolation of Brucella spp. in sterile body fluids was defined as relapse. Inadequate treatment duration was defined as treatment duration of less than 8 weeks in patients with osteoarticular complications and less than 6 weeks in other brucellosis involvement. A multivariate logistic regression model was built with the variables determined to be effective in relapse development. Logistic regression model included gender, presence of osteoarticular complications, inadequate treatment duration, treatment combinations and leukocyte count. SPSS 20 statistical package program was used for statistical analysis. Results: A total of 1296 patients were enrolled in the study whose median age was 42 (31-54) years and 631 (48.7%) were female. One or more complications were detected in 448 (34.6%) cases. A 2-drug antibiotic combination was given to 1125 (86.8%) patients and 171 (13.2%) were treated with a 3-drug antibiotic combination regimen. Three hundred sixteen (24.4%) of the patients were treated with combination therapies that included an aminoglycoside. Relapse occurred in 110 (8.5%) patients and treatment was inadequate for 105 (8.1%) of all cases. Osteoarticular complications were more frequent in patients with relapse than in those without relapse (33.6% vs 18.5%, p<0.001). The presence of osteoarticular complications (odds ratio [OR]=2.413, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.550-3.756) and inadequate treatment duration (OR=2.861, 95% CI: 1.645-4.974) were associated with higher rate of brucellosis relapse, while combination therapies including an aminoglycoside (OR=0.432, 95% CI: 0.249-0.752) was associated with lower rate. Conclusion: Our results indicate that in patients with osteoarticular complications, treatment should be administered for the recommended optimal duration and combination therapies including aminoglycosides should be chosen preferentially in order to prevent the relapse of infection.

HER2 and BRAF mutation in colorectal cancer patients: a retrospective study in Eastern China

Objective To investigate the frequency and prognostic role of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 gene (HER2) and BRAF V600E gene mutation in Chinese patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods Clinicopathological and survival information from 480 patients with stage I–III CRC were reviewed and recorded. HER2 amplification was analyzed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), BRAF V600E mutation was tested by IHC and Sanger sequencing. The relationship between HER2 and BRAF V600E mutation status and clinicopathological characteristics and outcomes were determined. Results The amplification of HER2 and BRAF V600E mutation were identified in 27 of 480 (5.63%) and 19 of 480 (3.96%) CRC patients, respectively. HER2 amplification significantly correlated with greater bowel wall invasion (P = 0.041) and more advanced TNM stage (I vs. II vs. III; 0 vs 5.78% vs. 7.41%, P = 0.013). Patients suffering from tumors with poor differentiation had a higher incidence rate of BRAF V600E mutation than those with moderate/well differentiation (7.77% vs 2.92%, P = 0.04). HER2 amplification was an independent prognostic factor for worse disease-free survival (DFS) (HR = 2.53, 95% CI: 1.21–5.30, P = 0.014). Conclusion The prevalence of HER2 amplification and BRAF V600E mutation in stage I–III CRC patients in Chinese was 6% and 4%, respectively, and HER2 amplification appeared to be associated with a worse DFS. More comprehensive molecular classification and survival analysis are needed to validate our findings.
Evaluation of physiological parameters of the plasma oxidative status in rabbits

ABSTRACT The aim of our work was to analyse oxidative parameters in rabbits, under nutritional physiological conditions of feeding and rearing. We evaluated zootechnical parameters and the nutritional status of rabbits, the latter by analysing serum triglycerides and albumin levels. All these parameters were found to be in the physiological range at the beginning and end of the test. For assessing the oxidative status of the animals, we measured the level of serum reactive oxygen metabolites (ROMs) and the level of serum antioxidants (d-ROMs and anti-ROMs tests, respectively). The levels of d-ROMs (CARR U) showed values of 299.9 ± 6.1 at the beginning and of 296.8 ± 6.4 at the end of the study. The levels of anti-ROMs (fast antioxidants) showed values of 85.2 ± 2.1 µEq/L in rabbits 70 days old and of 85.4 ± 2.7 µEq/L after 60 days. Statistical analysis of the values, for all considered parameters, showed that the mean of the differences between the beginning and the end of the experimental period was not significantly different from 0. Further studies are needed to assess the variations of these parameters related to oxidative stress in other physiological states of rabbits (pregnancy or weaning) or in rabbits affected by diseases.
People in early stages of Parkinson’s disease are able to intentionally reweight the use of visual information for postural control

Background Parkinson’s disease (PD) leads to several changes in motor control, many of them related to informational or cognitive overload. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of knowledge and intention on the postural control performance and on the coupling between visual information and body sway in people with and without PD standing upright. Methods Participants were 21 people with PD (62.1 ± 7.2 years), stages 1 and 2 (Hoehn & Yahr scale), under dopaminergic medication, and 21 people in the control group (62.3 ± 7.1 years). Participants stood upright inside a moving room, performing seven trials of 60 s. In the first trial, the room remained motionless. In the others, the room oscillated at 0.2 Hz in the anterior-posterior direction: in the first block of three trials, the participants were not informed about the visual manipulation; in the second block of three trials, participants were informed about the room movement and asked to resist the visual influence. An OPTOTRAK system recorded the moving room displacement and the participants’ sway. The variables mean sway amplitude (MSA), coherence and gain were calculated. Results With no visual manipulation, no difference occurred between groups for MSA. Under visual manipulation conditions, people with PD presented higher MSA than control, and both groups reduced the sway magnitude in the resisting condition. Control group reduced sway magnitude by 6.1%, while PD group reduced by 11.5%. No difference was found between groups and between conditions for the coupling strength (coherence). For the coupling structure (gain), there was no group difference, but both groups showed reduced gain in the resisting condition. Control group reduced gain by 12.0%, while PD group reduced by 9.3%. Conclusions People with PD, under visual manipulation, were more influenced than controls, but they presented the same coupling structure between visual information and body sway as controls. People in early stages of PD are able to intentionally alter the influence of visual information.

Structure and short range order of liquid gallium

The structure of liquid gallium in a wide temperature range has been studied. Analysis of data obtained by diffraction method allowed us to make some conclusions about the structural features of the liquid gallium. In particular there is a clear asymmetry of the first maximum of the structure factor (SF) and existence of shoulder on its right hand side. Also the temperature dependence of structural factors for liquid gallium in terms of its heterogeneous structure was analyzed. Interpretation was carried out under the assumption that the structure of liquid gallium consists of clusters with different distribution of atoms, as well as different types of chemical bonds between atoms. The structural units are sensitive to temperature. Splitting of the structure factor main maximum on the Gaussian partial curves, which corresponded to certain structural units of the melt, was also performed. Each structural component of the melt reveals a different nature of the temperature dependence. It is also assumed that the partial peaks for each cluster are described by Gaussian functions.
