An Empirical Analysis of the Performance of Luxury Watch Portfolios among High-Net-Worth Individuals in India During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: - Pia Kothari , - Abdul Rasheed , - Jharna Kalra
Published: October 2024

This study empirically evaluates luxury watches owned by high-net-worth individuals (HNIs) in India as unconventional alternative assets providing diversifying benefits. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the major stock exchanges in India, NSE and BSE, faced negative returns and high volatility, igniting numerous conservative investors to divest from traditional investments and retain alternative assets, such as luxury watches, due to their low correlation to financial markets. Owing to supply chain disruptions and demand forces, the overall secondary watch market prices surged throughout this period, creating high economic value for investors. Through hypothesis testing and attribution analysis, this paper evaluates the performance of watch portfolios owned by 57 HNIs, comprising of 464 watches, to investigate whether luxury watches are viable investments during economic downturns within the domain of alternative investments. Hence, this study employs suitable attribution tools such as Sharpe ratio, M2 Alpha, Treynor Measure and Jensen’s Alpha to understand the strength of their performance. Using academic literature, market data and primary data, this study found that luxury watches provided substantial portfolio diversification benefits and outperformed traditional assets like the NIFTY50 and gold in terms both nominal and risk adjusted returns during the pandemic. Brands such as Patek Philippe, Rolex, and Audemars Piguet achieved the highest performance, as Patek Philippe demonstrated superior risk-return trade-offs. Despite challenges such as valuation complexities and liquidity constraints, luxury watches provided remarkable upside potential, benefiting from a high retention rate due to their unique emotional features. Ultimately, the findings suggest that luxury watches can be viable alternative investments considering that 65% of these HNIs viewed their watch purchases as investment opportunities.

Authors: Fikri Wahyudi  , Rijal Dwika Saputra
Published: October 2024

Background: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a common respiratory infection that can lead to serious complications, including hydropneumothorax, a condition characterized by the presence of both air and fluid in the pleural cavity.
Case presentation: We present the case of a 76-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with a one-week history of shortness of breath, dry cough, and low-grade fever. He had no prior surgeries, history of tuberculosis, comorbid conditions, or significant pulmonary diseases. Physical examination revealed crackles, decreased breath sounds on auscultation, and hyperresonance on percussion of the right hemithorax. Laboratory investigations demonstrated leukocytosis and neutrophilia. Chest radiography showed consolidation consistent with pneumonia, and subsequent computed tomography (CT) confirmed the diagnosis of right hydropneumothorax with pleural effusion and a broncholith in the right basal lobar bronchus. The patient was treated with intravenous antibiotics and underwent water seal drainage (WSD). He made a full recovery and was discharged home.
Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of considering hydropneumothorax as a potential complication of CAP, even in patients without significant comorbidities. Prompt diagnosis and management, including drainage and antibiotics, are crucial for a favorable outcome.

Data menunjukkan bahwa hasil kemampuan numerasi siswa-siswi di Indonesia masih tergolong kurang jika dibandingkan dengan negara-negara lain. Hasil penelitian-penelitian sebelumnya menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan numerasi siswa di sekolah dasar belum maksimal. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan LKPD etnomatematika berbasis PBL terhadap kemampuan numerasi dan self efficacy siswa di sekolah dasar. Jenis penelitian menggunakan penelitian eksperimen dengan quasi experiment design, yaitu dua kelompok (eksperimen dan kontrol) dilibatkan dalam penelitian ini. Instrumen penelitian yang digunakan meliputi soal tes kemampuan numerasi dan angket self efficacy. Teknik analisis data menggunakan uji normalitas, uji homogenitas, uji hipotesis, dan uji N-Gain. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan diperolehnya nilai rata-rata kemampuan numerasi dan self efficacy kelas eksperimen lebih tinggi dari kelas kontrol. Kemudian hasil dari uji Independent Sample T-Test didapatkan nilai signifikansi t-test kemampuan numerasi dan self efficacy lebih kecil dari 0,05 yang berarti terdapat perbedaan signifikan kemampuan numerasi dan self efficacy antara kelas eksperimen dan kontrol. Selanjutnya terdapat peningkatan kemampuan numerasi dan self efficacy pada kelas eksperimen dengan diperolehnya indeks N-Gain termasuk pada kategori peningkatan sedang. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa pembelajaran dengan menggunakan LKPD etnomatematika berbasis PBL berpengaruh terhadap peningkatan kemampuan numerasi dan self efficacy siswa di sekolah dasar.

A pele humana, que é o maior órgão do corpo, desempenha papéis essenciais na proteção, regulação e interpretação de sensações. A pele atua como uma barreira contra agentes externos, regula a temperatura corporal e participa na produção de vitamina D, entre outras funções vitais. Portanto, um conhecimento aprofundado sobre a histofisiologia da pele é indispensável para profissionais que lidam com saúde e bem-estar. As informações histofisiológicas, que envolvem tanto a composição celular quanto os mecanismos funcionais da pele, são cruciais para o diagnóstico e tratamento de diversas condições anatomopatológicas. Por exemplo, compreender a estrutura das camadas da pele na sua composição epiderme, derme e hipoderme e a função de suas células especializadas permite que profissionais desenvolvam terapias mais eficazes. Além disso, esse conhecimento é relevante para a prevenção de doenças e para a manutenção da saúde cutânea, ajudando na educação e conscientização do público e de profissionais sobre a importância dos cuidados com a pele. Além de sua relevância clínica, o estudo das estruturas da pele também possui um impacto significativo nas práticas estéticas. Profissionais da beleza e da estética se beneficiam de uma compreensão sólida da anatomia e fisiologia da pele para proporcionar tratamentos seguros e eficazes. O conhecimento sobre como a pele responde a diferentes produtos e técnicas é vital para a promoção da saúde e da autoestima dos indivíduos. Assim, explorar as dimensões histofisiológicas da pele é um caminho que enriquece não apenas a ciência, mas também a qualidade de vida das pessoas.

Background. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria represent a highly global health issue by causing high rates of morbidity and mortality in burn units, whereas biofilms significantly contribute to complications in burn patients. Objectives. The study investigates the prevalence of (OXA-23, OXA-48, OmpA and bla-TEM) and biofilm formation of Acinetobacter baumannii in the Burn Unit of the Al-Anbar government. Methods. A total of 120 clinical swab samples from burn patient were collected from December 2023 to April 2024 from the burn units of Ramadi Teaching Hospital and Falluja Teaching Hospital for the study. The colonies were identified using conventional and Vitek methods. Colorimetric technique (MTP) and multiplex PCR were used to detect biofilms and resistance genes. Results. Among 120 samples, 40 (33.3%) were Acinetobacter baumannii, 34 (80%) were MDR- resistant, and 6 (15%) were XDR. 90% of the isolates were resistant to Cefotaxime, and Colistin was more sensitive in all forty isolates. All 40 isolates formed significant biofilms. The percentage of positive results for OXA-23, OmpA and bla-TEM genes were 80%, 65%, and 55% of respectively. Carbapenem testing is essential to identify carbapenem-producing strains from non-producing strains due to the high prevalence of multidrug-resistant A. baumannii with the OXA-23 and OmpA genes. Conclusion. These findings highlight the urgent need for effective infection control measures and the development of new therapeutic strategies to manage these infections in burn patients.

Introduction. Mucormycosis, commonly referred to as “black fungus,” has emerged as a life-threatening opportunistic infection, particularly in post-COVID patients. This study aims to evaluate the clinical, radiological, and treatment-related features of mucormycosis in post-COVID patients and assess their outcomes. Materials and methods. This observational clinical study was conducted from April 2021 to October 2021, involving 50 consecutive post-COVID patients who presented with clinical and radiological features of mucormycosis. Demographic data, clinical symptoms, comorbidities, laboratory investigations, radiological findings, and treatment details were collected. Patients underwent computed tomography (CT) to assess bone involvement, sinus, and orbital involvement. Treatment regimens, including antifungal therapy and surgical interventions, were recorded. Patients were followed up for recurrence and long-term outcomes. Results. The majority of the patients were males (58%) and in the 31-45 age group (34%). Diabetes mellitus (60%) and steroid use (80%) were the most common comorbidities. Clinically, 70% of patients presented with soft tissue swelling or necrosis, and 44% had black eschar on the palate. CT findings revealed maxillary bone involvement in 56% of cases and sinus involvement in 50%. Orbital involvement was noted in 20%. Amphotericin B was the most commonly used antifungal therapy (70%), and 60% of patients underwent debridement. The overall recovery rate was 70%, with a recurrence rate of 16%. Facial deformities or ongoing oral issues were noted in 24% of patients during follow-up. Conclusion. Mucormycosis in post-COVID patients is associated with high morbidity, particularly in those with diabetes and those treated with corticosteroids. Antifungal therapy combined with surgical intervention yielded a 70% recovery rate, although recurrence and long-term complications were observed. Early diagnosis, appropriate antifungal therapy, and aggressive surgical management are critical to improving outcomes. Preventive strategies, including better management of comorbidities and judicious use of steroids, are essential in reducing the burden of mucormycosis in post-COVID patients.
