The Impact of "Jet Lag" on the AFL Point Spread Wagering Market

This paper examines the presence of "jet-lag" effects in the Australian Football League point spread betting market. Fodor and Krieger’s (2014) findings that bookmakers, in NFL betting markets, do not consider efficiently the possible impact of jet lag on team performance, and are unable to take into account the possible existence of a potentially confounding home team bias since in virtually all games in the NFL, one of the teams has an a priori home ground advantage. Schnytzer and Weinberg (2008) took advantage of the distinctive feature of the Australian Football League (AFL), that many fixtures take place on neutral grounds, to demonstrate the apparent existence of a home team bias and the absence of a favorite-longshot bias. We conduct standard econometric tests of market efficiency over games where the home team bias cannot, by definition, exist. We used the 2001-2016 AFL seasons including the final series matches, venues, and betting information data and found no statistically significant line inefficiency in the games played on neutral grounds, regardless of whether the visiting team travels across multiple time zones in either direction or whether neither team requires a flight to reach the relevant stadium. However, line inefficiencies were found in overall games in which the home team enjoys an a priori home ground advantage. Such inefficiencies occur both in games where the visiting team experiences time zone changes when traveling to the game, and in games where the visiting team experiences no such changes. The amalgamated results for both neutral games and home bias games makes clear that jet lag cannot serve as a sole factor leading to inefficiencies but merely if combined with the home team bias. We show that betting on games in various inefficient sub-groups yields returns between 1.26 and 8.07 percent.
Multivessel revascularization for acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock: when less is more

Cardiogenic shock represents the most dreadful and the primary cause of in-hospital mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (1). Cardiogenic shock (~80% of cases) occurs due to large infarction, pumps failure, infarct extension, re-infarction, or smaller infarction in preexisting left ventricular dysfunction with or without mechanical complication (2,3). Approximately 5–15% of patients with AMI are in cardiogenic shock at the time of presentation (4). Over the past 3 decades, the incidence of cardiogenic shock has been declining, a finding which has been attributed to widespread adoption of early revascularization and improvement in preventive measures.
Working or Learning? Working Students in the Romanian-Hungarian Cross-Border Area

The paper addresses a current and growing phenomenon in the context of higher education massification, namely student employment in the Hungarian-Romanian crossborder area. Previous studies seek to reveal the negative but also positive effects of reducing the time required for learning activities at the expense of time spent at work. If we consider the decision to get a job during college from the perspective of students‟ need to cover the financial costs, then the analysis of working students brings forward the issue of horizontal inequalities in higher education, with consequences also on inequalities in the labor market insertion. Our study aims to emphasize the characteristics of students‟ options to work during their studies, describing their social and academic profile. From the perspective of the correlation between time assigned for study and the time assigned for work, we analyze the relationship between academic engagement and the employment status of students. Our study is based on data from the survey carried out within the HURO /0901/253/2.2. 2 – HERD project among students from Hungary and Romania. Our results show that there are significant differences between the two countries in terms of the dimensions and structure of students‟ employment. However, variables referring to country and universities (from Romania and Hungary) don‟t have a significant impact in the regression model for employment status. Students from this region who are working while they study are those from the Master programs, those who need to pay their tuition, those with low household incomes and who had to work also during their high-school studies. Our data suggest that the main reason for working is the financial one. Interesting results were found regarding academic engagement. In our study, working students have a higher level of academic engagement.
Midnight at the oasis: does restoration change the rigs-to-reefs debate in the North Sea?

ABSTRACT In the North Sea, many oil and gas fields will reach the end of their productivity and their associated structures will be decommissioned. OSPAR decision 98/3 prescribes removal of all disused offshore structures as the only acceptable decommissioning option. This policy is the legacy of the 1995 Brent Spar incident, which resulted in the current dominant discourse of ‘Hands off the Oceans,’ ruling out the conversion of oil and gas rigs into artificial reefs (Rigs-to-Reefs (RtR)). The shift from a conservation to a restoration paradigm could open up the RtR debate. In this paper, a discourse analysis is carried out to discern whether and how ideas about RtR and ecosystem restoration are articulated to challenge the dominant ‘Hands off the Oceans’ discourse and thereby bring about change in North Sea decommissioning policy. A discourse analytic framework is applied to elucidate whether an ‘RtR as Restoration’ discourse can be distinguished and how competing claims are presented in the various storylines. Our analysis shows an ‘RtR as Restoration’ discourse, consisting of four different storylines. Given the fragmented nature of this discourse, the ‘RtR as Restoration’ discourse will not overcome the dominant ‘Hands off the Oceans’ discourse.
GRAFTLESS IMPLANTS IN THE POSTERIOR MAXILLA

The aim of this narrative review is to describe treatment options for implants in the posterior regions of the maxilla . The dental literature was screened for treatment options enabling the placement of dental implants in posterior sites . The posterior maxilla faces twin challenges like ridge resorption and sinus pneumatization following extraction . Hence, sinus elevation procedures were for long considered to be the gold standard using various bone substitute materials and rendering high implant survival rates . However due to inherent limitations in the technique and associated morbidity, graftless solutions are now gaining popularity. This paper reviews advantages and literature on use of short, angulated, zygomatic and pterygoid implants as graftless solutions in the posterior maxilla.

The effect of different variety of fire-woods on smoking of selais catfish (Cryptopterus bicirchis)

Problems encountered in traditional fish smoking was the inconsistency in the quality of the smoked fish produced, and so making the product provided less quality assurance to consumers. The type of fire-wood used as smoke fuel was also uncertain because it depended on the availability of the wood surrounding the smoking activity area. The aim of the research was to describe the method of traditional fish smoking and to determine the best typical wood used to produce smoked fish in the Province of Riau, Indonesia. The experimental method was used to examine the use of different kinds of fire-wood as the smoke source for selais catfish (Cryptopterus bicirchis) smoking. Several fire-woods used were kandis (Garcinia xanthochymus), laban (Vitex pinnata), ubar (Eugenia sp.) and timah-timah (Elaeocarpaecae sp.). The result showed that the catfish smoking in the province was applying direct hot smoking method. Smoked catfish produced was showing somewhat blackish brown, shiny, dry and clay textured, and weight reduction up to 25% from initial weight. The best wood used as smoke source was ubar wood, but not significantly different to laban wood. The best smoked fish produced was containing moisture, total phenolic and acid compound at 11.26%, 0.745%, and 0.92%, respectively.
Design and Development of a Cost-Effective LIDAR System for Transportation

Light Imaging Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) cameras and Light Detecting and Ranging (LiDAR) rangefinders were initially implemented in the 1960s as a higher-resolution and increased capability alternative to radar. Since then, LIDAR and LiDAR (hereto called lidar) have expanded into applications in aerial geographical surveying and collision-detection systems for autonomous vehicles. Current commercial systems are relatively expensive and potentially oversized for noncommercial applications. Consequently, this deters their use on consumer products like bicycles, where lidar systems can enable safety advancements that are necessary to counter the rising numbers of hazards affecting riders. In addition, widespread usage of inexpensive lidar systems can facilitate a more complete picture of our transportation infrastructure by delivering information (e.g., pavement quality) suited for U.S. Department of Transportation Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) reports. This will aid in the creation of a safer infrastructure by highlighting critical areas in need of improvement and repair. As a result, this effort outlines the development of a compact and cost-effective lidar system. The constructed system includes the ability to generate a static image by collecting several hundred thousand distance signals measured by a lidar rangefinder. Since the rangefinder has no self-contained rotation or translation systems, an Arduino Mega 2560 v3 microcontroller operates a pair of stepper motors that adjusts its azimuthal angle and pitch. Coalescing these signals into an ASCII text file for viewing in MATLAB results in a reasonably accurate picture of the surroundings. While the current system takes 1–2 hours to complete a full sweep, it has the potential to provide sufficient accuracy for HPMS reports at a moderate expenditure: the entire system costs less than $300. Finally, upgrading to a more powerful microprocessor, implementing slip rings for enhanced electrical connectivity, and refining the code by including interpolation between points will enable faster point cloud generation while still maintaining an inexpensive device.
The Impact of Knowledge Sharing, Human Resource Management Team Efficacy and Performance on the Financial Performance: Mediating Role of Leadership Empowerment

The prime goal of the research is to investigate the impact of knowledge sharing, human resource management (HRM) team efficacy and performance on the financial performance. The second aim is to inspect the mediating role of leadership empowerment among the link of knowledge sharing, HRM team efficacy and performance and financial performance of the Thailand pharmacies. The data were gathered from the pharmacies employees that are situated in Bangkok and PLS-SEM was used to analyze and test the hypotheses. The findings exposed that the knowledge sharing, HRM team efficacy and HRM team performance has positive nexus with the financial performance. The outcomes also indicated that leadership empowerment has positively mediates the link among the knowledge sharing, HRM team efficacy, HRM team performance and firm performance. These results suggested to the authorities that are prepare the policies regarding the HRM practices that they should convert their emphasis towards the HRM team performance and efficacy and also on knowledge sharing activities of the employees that enhance the firm performance.
Familial hyperekplexia: Lessons from the other face of the coin

In this issue, we represent a case which may posse special interest to many neonatologists. Apparently healthy female neonate was born by spontaneous vaginal delivery as a sixth offspring to a third-degree consanguineous Egyptian parent. No significant neonatal problems occurred necessitate NICU admission. She had come to our outpatient neurology clinic at age 15th day with episodic transient generalized stiffness, hypertonia and tonic spasms. These episodes were existed from the first days of life as a result of sudden acoustic or tactile stimulation. Both general and neurological examinations were normal. Routine laboratory workup, electroencephalography (EEG) and MRI brain were normal. Father told us about her two brothers who aged 8 and 6 years old, both have had the same story and diagnosed faultily as epileptics. On next visit, we examined her brothers and found them suffering from repeated fallings, injuries and myoclonic jerks only as a reflex to unexpected various sensory stimuli. Although normal EEG and brain imaging, anti-epileptic combinations drugs, not included oral clonazepam, were prescribed to both without improvement. Good to mention that both of them were short and cognitively impaired. The case was one of neonatal conditions mimic epilepsy (CME) called (hereditary hyperekplexia). Recognition of hyperekplexia in the neonatal period is critical to avoid erroneous diagnoses like epilepsy. In conclusion: Neonatologists should be aware of CME in neonatal period. hyperekplexia teaches us simply three unique lessons in neonatology: First, not all CME are benign as known, hyperekplexia may be fatal. Second, some CME like hyperekplexia may be inherited. Lastly, some antiepileptic medications as clonazepam may be used in treatment of nonepileptic conditions like hyperekplexia.
Factors Affecting Bone Temperature Increase During Implant Surgery - Review

Introduction During implant surgery certain amount of heat is produced. It is known that temperature increase above the critical threshold of 47°C for a minute could lead to thermal osteonecrosis, which could be the reason for an early implant failure. Aim The aim of this review was to reveal the multifactorial nature of bone temperature rise during dental implant surgery. Materials and Methods PubMed and Google Scholar databases were searched to select articles related to the topic. The review includes articles published from 1972 to 2019, only in English language. Results All reviewed original articles, describing studies, whose aim was to observe the heat generation during implant surgery, are experimental. A few reviews were included. As potential risk factors for thermal damage of the bone were considered the site preparation protocol, drill wear, drill design, drilling speed and cooling effectiveness. Conclusion Heat generation during implant site preparation could be increased by performing guided implant or piezoelectric surgery. The use of combined irrigation at higher speeds, sharper drills and laser-assisted osteotomy could help avoid the risk of thermal damage to the bone. The heat production during the implant site preparation is a subject to many studies, but there is still a lack of data about the temperature rise during implant insertion.
Learning together: Participatory rural appraisal for coproduction of climate change knowledge

Literature indicates a general consensus that knowledge on climate change is critical for enhancing community-based adaptation. Local knowledge tends to be localized to specific contexts and needs to be enhanced to ensure sustainability of adaptation measures. Traditional epistemological methods of research, however, tend to be extractive in nature with little focus on community capacity building, while dissemination of findings is mainly done with academic communities in mind. The focus of this article is to highlight the potential presented by participatory rural appraisal techniques in the process of data collection, with an aim of enhancing collaborative learning and improving community knowledge for climate change adaptation.

Meta-Analysis of Expression Profiling Data Indicates Need for Combinatorial Biomarkers in Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis

Background Unbiased studies using different genome-wide methods have identified a great number of candidate biomarkers for diagnosis and treatment response in pediatric ulcerative colitis (UC). However, clinical translation has been proven difficult. Here, we hypothesized that one reason could be differences between inflammatory responses in an inflamed gut and in peripheral blood cells. Methods We performed meta-analysis of gene expression microarray data from intestinal biopsies and whole blood cells (WBC) from pediatric patients with UC and healthy controls in order to identify overlapping pathways, predicted upstream regulators, and potential biomarkers. Results Analyses of profiling datasets from colonic biopsies showed good agreement between different studies regarding pathways and predicted upstream regulators. The most activated predicted upstream regulators included TNF, which is known to have a key pathogenic and therapeutic role in pediatric UC. Despite this, the expression levels of TNF were increased in neither colonic biopsies nor WBC. A potential explanation was increased expression of TNFR2, one of the membrane-bound receptors of TNF in the inflamed colon. Further analyses showed a similar pattern of complex relations between the expression levels of the regulators and their receptors. We also found limited overlap between pathways and predicted upstream regulators in colonic biopsies and WBC. An extended search including all differentially expressed genes that overlapped between colonic biopsies and WBC only resulted in identification of three potential biomarkers involved in the regulation of intestinal inflammation. However, two had been previously proposed in adult inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), namely, MMP9 and PROK2. Conclusions Our findings indicate that biomarker identification in pediatric UC is complicated by the involvement of multiple pathways, each of which includes many different types of genes in the blood or inflamed intestine. Therefore, further studies for identification of combinatorial biomarkers are warranted. Our study may provide candidate biomarkers for such studies.
