Kendine Aşırı Güven ve Ölçme Yöntemleri: Davranışsal Finans Kapsamında Bir Literatür İncelemesi
Authors: TEKİN Bilgehan
Published: March 2019

Bu
çalışmada, davranışsal finans ve psikoloji literatürlerinde yer alan
çalışmalara oldukça sık konu olmuş kendine aşırı güven davranışsal önyargısı ve
bu önyargının ölçülme veya açığa çıkarılma yöntemleri incelenmiştir. Kendine
aşırı güven, bireylerin kendi yetenek ve bilgi düzeylerine gerçekçi olmayan bir
şekilde aşırı güvenmeleri olarak ifade edilebilir. Kendine aşırı güvenin
ölçülmesi bağlamında literatürde yer alan çalışmalar incelendiğinde birbirinden
oldukça farklı yöntemlerin kullanıldığı görülmektedir. Bu yöntemlerden
özellikle yatırımcıların kendine aşırı güvenleri ölçülmek istendiği durumlarda
ve diğer psikolojik araştırmalarda kalibrasyon skoruna dayalı güven aralıklı
anket yönteminin ve davranışsal kurumsal finans kapsamında yönetsel önyargının
ölçülmesi gerektiği durumlarda ise ilk defa Malmendier ve Tate tarafından
kullanılan opsiyon kullanımı temelli yaklaşımın tercih edildiği görülmektedir.
Çalışma sonucunda kendine aşırı güvenin ölçümünde kullanılacak ölçek konusunda
henüz tam bir fikir birliğinin olmadığı görülmüştür.
Ekonomik Büyüme Çevre Kirliliğini Azaltır mı?

Published: March 2019

Ekonomik büyümenin çevre sorunlarını arttırıyor
olması ancak gelirin belirli bir eşik değerinden sonra çevre sorunlarını
azaltabilmesi olgusu son dönemlerde çokça tartışılan konuların başında
gelmektedir. Aynı şekilde konu iktisat literatüründe de yoğun ilgi görmektedir.
Bu doğrultuda ilgili bu çalışma, Çevresel Kuznets Eğrisi hipotezinin Türkiye’de
iller bazında geçerli olup olmadığını araştırmaktadır. Hipotezin geçerli olup
olmadığı 2004-2014 dönemi için toplam atık miktarı ve kişi başına GSYH verileri
kullanılarak yumuşak geçişli regresyon modeli yardımıyla test edilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, reel gelirdeki artışın atık
miktarını arttırdığını, ilk gelir eşiği seviyesine ulaştıktan sonra reel
gelirdeki artışın atık miktarı üzerindeki etkisinin bir önceki rejime göre
zayıfladığı, ancak yine de pozitif olduğu görülmektedir. Sonuç olarak bu durum
atık miktarının reel gelir arttıkça düşmediğini göstermektedir. Bu nedenle
çalışma atık miktarı açısından EKC hipotezinin geçerli olmadığını ortaya
koymaktadır

Prevalence of joint hypermobility, hypermobility spectrum disorder and hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome in a university population: an observational study
Authors: TUNA Filiz
Published: March 2019

Objectives:
To investigate
the prevalence of joint hypermobility classes, hypermobility spectrum
disorders, hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and their relations with sex ina
university population. They are notable topics in rehabilitation, since they
represents the basis for some secondary disability conditions. Methods: Three hundred and
thirty-five students met the
inclusion criteria (university students who are not disabled, without known
disease, aged 18-25 years). Joint hypermobility were classified as generalized,
peripheral and localized asymptomatic or hypermobility spectrum disorders.
Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome was defined according to; 1) Brighton
criteria with cut-off Beighton scoring ≥ 4/9, 2) Villefranche criteria with
cut-off Beighton scoring ≥ 5/9, and 3) The 2017 International Classification of
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Results: In total, 77.3% (n = 259) of participants had any
class of joint hypermobility and 25.9% (n=87) of them had generalized class.
Asymptomatic joint hypermobility and hypermobility spectrum disorders
prevalence in a university population were found to be 38.8% and 38.5%,
respectively. Generalized, peripheral, localized asymptomatic joint
hypermobility and hypermobility spectrum disorders were found; 13.1%, 4.2%,
21.5%, and 12.8%, 7.5%, 18.2%, respectively. Prevalence of hypermobile
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome according to three classifications were found to be;
19.4%, 15.2%, and 1.2%, respectively.

Conclusions: The most common classes are localized asymptomatic
joint hypermobility in women and localized hypermobility spectrum disorders in
men. Awareness of the prevalence of joint hypermobility, hypermobility spectrum
disorders and hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome in healthy young population
may contribute prevention of disability.
50 lat minęło jak jeden dzień... Różnice międzypokoleniowe w kulturze studiowania na przykładzie socjologii na Uniwersytecie Łódzkim
Authors: Adamczyk Paulina
Published: March 2019

W artykule podjęto próbę wskazania różnic międzypokoleniowych w kulturze studiowania oraz w samym postrzeganiu uniwersytetu i nauczania z ostatnich pięćdziesięciu lat. W tym celu zestawiono wspomnienia wykładowców dotyczące studiów socjologicznych w Instytucie Socjologii Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego oraz ich opinie na temat obecnych studentów socjologii i kultury studenckiej (już z perspektywy dydaktyka) z subiektywnymi spostrzeżeniami autorki artykułu reprezentującej pokolenie, które ukończyło swoje studia w 2017 roku. Celem wyróżnienia tych trzech perspektyw jest ukazanie przemian uniwersytetu, który jako pewnego rodzaju idea, przeszedł wiele modyfikacji od momentu swojego wykrystalizowania się w średniowieczu. Zaprezentowany w artykule zarys historii uniwersytetu oraz różnych podejść do jego funkcji i przyjętego modelu jest wprowadzeniem do zilustrowania dynamicznego procesu nieustannych zmian zachodzących w jego murach, zarówno w aspekcie tworzenia i przekazywania nauki, jak i szeroko rozumianych relacji akademickich. Artykuł jest próbą wyodrębnienia oraz ukazania różnic pokoleniowych w ujęciu Mannheimowskim między studentami socjologii podejmującymi studia w latach sześćdziesiątych a tymi rozpoczynającymi studiowanie po pierwszej dekadzie XXI wieku.

Open Loop and Closed Loop Power Control Analysis on LTE
Authors: Amalia Norma , Nugraha Eka Setia , Amanaf Muntaqo Alfin
Published: March 2019

LTE downlink is using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) multiple access system which have high invulnerability from multipath problem. One of the weakness of OFDM system is the high level from Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) that was required higher level transmit power for maintaining the Bit Error Rate (BER) requirement. Using uplink scheme with Single Carrier FDMA (SC-FDMA) which is OFDMA modification, will be offered better level of PAPR than its conventional OFDM. The main problem of using OFDMA is the high level of PAPR, while using SC-FDMA the problem is intra-cell interference. Intra-cell or inter-cell interference is the common problem that can reduce the LTE performance. Minimizing received power for each users (UE) which is still at acceptable tolerance parameter, can be used for reducing the interference problem to another UE. Power control is the appropriate solution for minimizing the interference level. In this paper will be analyzed the power control using open loop and closed loop scheme at LTE network. The simulation result show that without power control schemes, the transmit power of UE is 23 dBm. While, after applying power control scheme, the transmit power is 18.8 dBm at ?=0.4 of open loop condition and 9.05 dBm at closed loop condition. Using this transmit power value as the UE power can improve the SINR performance. The SINR average value without power control scheme is only 20.38 dB which is lower than using open loop scheme is achieved 22.44 dB and 24.02 dB at closed loop scheme.

Type-I Tibial Hemimelia
Authors: Yadav Surender Singh
Published: March 2019

Background:

Tibial hemimelia is a rare but disabling condition. Although reconstructive methods have been described, the recommended treatment typically has been amputation at various levels followed by the use of a suitable prosthesis. A new technique known as femoro-fibulo-calcaneal arthrodesis has been developed as a limb-salvage procedure for patients with type-I deficiency who refuse amputation or have no access to good prosthetic care.

Methods:

Twelve children (18 extremities) with type-I tibial hemimelia were managed surgically. The ages of the patients at the time of surgery ranged from 2 to 14 years. The procedure includes 3 stages: loosening, lengthening, and stabilization. In all patients, the loosening stage involved release of soft-tissue contractures at both ends of the fibula. The lengthening stage involved either supervised lengthening at home with use with use of an external fixator (6 patients) or the use of traction in the hospital (6 patients). In all patients, the stabilization stage was subsequently performed by stabilizing the fibula to the femoral condyles proximally and the talus distally with use of crossed Kirschner wires.

Results:

All 12 patients returned for follow-up for the first 5 years. All patients were evaluated by author. Two patients who had ipsilateral femoral focal deficiency were subsequently lost to follow-up. The remaining 10 patients were followed for a mean of 10 years (range, 5 to 32 years). All 10 patients were able to walk on their feet during follow-up. None of the patients in the present study had an amputation or needed a prosthesis. There were no major complications.

Conclusions:

A new procedure, femoro-fibulo-calcaneal arthrodesis, has been proposed for the treatment of type-I tibial hemimelia. The suggested procedure is simple, biological, cost-effective, and dependable. It provides a long-term stable and functional extremity that enables the patient to walk with plantigrade feet with sensation and proprioception. This limb-saving procedure should be considered as an alternative for patients who refuse to lose the limb or for whom good prosthetic care is unavailable.

Level of Evidence:

Therapeutic Level IV. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
Operative Versus Nonoperative Treatment of Pediatric and Adolescent Clavicular Fractures
Authors: Scott Meredith L. , Baldwin Keith D. , Mistovich R. Justin
Published: March 2019

Background:

The optimal treatment of displaced middle-third clavicular fractures in pediatric and adolescent patients remains controversial. Furthermore, risk factors for the failure of nonoperative treatment have not been clearly defined. Therefore, we designed a systematic review and critical analysis to assess appropriate Grades of Recommendation for evidence-based treatment of middle-third clavicular fractures in the pediatric and adolescent populations.

Methods:

We performed a systematic review following a search of the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases that was conducted in May 2017. The search terms were clavicle, clavic*, and fracture. Our specific PubMed search was (“clavicle”[MeSH] OR clavic*) AND (“fracture”[MeSH] OR fracture*). The results were filtered for English language and subjects ≤18 years of age. There was no chronological limit on the results. The results were then assessed for relevance via a stepwise approach by first screening titles, then abstracts, and, finally, full text. The levels of evidence were determined for studies that met the inclusion criteria. The findings were summarized, and Grades of Recommendation were assigned by consensus.

Results:

Our search returned 3,615 studies. Of these, 215 were potentially relevant. Studies that did not meet our inclusion criteria were removed by consensus. One hundred and nineteen full-text articles were then assessed. Of these, 19 met the inclusion criteria. Overall, patients with both operative and nonoperative treatment of displaced middle-third clavicular fractures have good functional outcomes, with Grade-B supporting evidence. There is Grade-B evidence that operative treatment results in a high complication rate. Both plating and nailing have a high likelihood of requiring implant removal, with Grade-B evidence. There is conflicting evidence regarding the effect of both nonoperative and operative treatment on patient cosmesis following displaced fractures. There is Grade-B evidence that nonunions of pediatric clavicular fractures are exceptionally rare, regardless of treatment strategy. Nonoperatively treated displaced fractures have conflicting evidence regarding any adverse effect displacement may have on functional status.

Conclusions:

Existing literature does not clearly delineate appropriate indications for nonoperative care or relative indications for operative intervention. Further studies are needed to guide treatment and promote better informed consent.

Level of Evidence:

Therapeutic Level IV. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Background This study is aim to compare the clinical effectiveness between the two most prominent dry eye disease (DED)-specific eye drops, 0.05% cyclosporine (CN) and 3% diquafosol (DQ). Methods This is a multi-centered, randomized, masked, prospective clinical study. A total of 227 eyes from 227 DED patients were randomly allocated to use CN twice per day or DQ six times daily. Cornea and conjunctival staining scores (NEI scale), tear break-up time (TBUT), Schirmer test scores, and ocular surface disease index (OSDI) score were measured at baseline, 4 and 12 weeks after treatment. Results At 12 weeks after treatment, NEI scaled scores were reduced from the baseline by -6.60 for CN and -6.63 for DQ group (P=0.9739 between groups). TBUT and Schirmer values for CN were significantly improved from the baseline at 4 and 12 weeks (P< 0.0001). However, for DQ, TBUT showed significant improvement at week 12 only (P=0.0281). Mean OSDI score differences from the baseline to 12 weeks were -13.03±19.63 in CN and -16.11±20.87 in DQ, respectively (P=0.854 between groups). Regarding drug compliance, the mean instillation frequency of CN was lesser than that of DQ (P<0.001). Conclusions The level of improvement regarding NEI, TBUT, and OSDI scores were not significantly different between the two treatment groups. However, with regards to the early improvement of TBUT and patient compliance, patients using CN improved faster and with greater adherence to drug usage than did those treated with DQ.

Background

Cerebral oxygenation monitoring may reduce the risk of death and neurologic complications in extremely preterm infants, but no such effects have yet been demonstrated in preterm infants in sufficiently powered randomised clinical trials. The objective of the SafeBoosC-III trial is to investigate the benefits and harms of treatment based on near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) monitoring compared with treatment as usual for extremely preterm infants.

Methods/Design

SafeBoosC III is an investigator-initiated multinational randomized, pragmatic phase III clinical trial. It is open label, but parts will be conducted blinded to intervention. Inclusion criteria consists of infants born below 28 weeks postmenstrual age and parental informed consent (unless the site has is using ‘opt-out’ or deferred consent). Exclusion criteria consists of missing parental informed consent (or if ‘opt-out’ is used, lack of record that clinical staff have explained the trial and the ‘opt-out’ consent process to parents and/or a record in the infant’s clinical file of parents’ decision to opt-out); decision not to provide full life support; and no possibility to initiate cerebral NIRS oximetry within 6 hours after birth. Participants will be randomized 1:1 into either the experimental or control group. Participants in the experimental group will be monitored during the first 72 hours of life with a cerebral NIRS oximeter. Cerebral hypoxia will be treated according to an evidence-based treatment guideline. Participants in the control group will not undergo cerebral oxygenation monitoring and will receive treatment as usual. Each participant will be followed up at 36 weeks postmenstrual age. The primary outcome will be a composite of either death or severe brain injury detected on any of the serial cranial ultrasound scans that are routinely performed in these infants up to 36 weeks postmenstrual age. To detect a 22% relative risk difference between the experimental and control group, we intend to randomize a cohort of 1600 infant.

Discussion

Treatment guided by cerebral NIRS oximetry has the potential to decrease risk of death or survival with severe brain injury in preterm infants. There is an urgent need to assess the clinical effects of NIRS monitoring among preterm neonates.

Background

Endoscopic retrograde biliary drainage (ERBD) is the treatment of choice for patients with malignant distal common bile duct (CBD) obstruction. Self-expandable metal stents (SEMS), which are commonly used in unresectable cases, have many clinical advantages, including longer stent patency. Although the expected patency of SEMS is around eight months, it has recently been reported that the duration of SEMS patency in patients using aspirin is prolonged. Our study therefore aims to confirm the effect of aspirin on SEMS patency.

Methods

This is an investigator-initiated, prospective, multicenter, double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial that will be conducted from November 2017 in four tertiary centers in South Korea. We intend to include in our study 184 adult (≥ 20 years) patients with malignant distal CBD obstruction for whom ERBD with SEMS was successfully performed. The patients will be randomly allocated to two groups, which will comprise patients who have either taken 100 mg aspirin or a placebo for six months after index ERBD. The primary outcome will be the rate of stent dysfunction, and the secondary outcomes will be the duration of patency, the rate of reintervention, and the occurrence of adverse events.

Discussion

The aspirin for metal stents in malignant distal common bile duct obstruction (AIMS) study will determine the efficacy of aspirin in maintaining metal stent patency in patients with malignant distal CBD obstructive.
Clinical-radiological dissociation of a patient with nitrous oxide-induced subacute combined degeneration: a case report
Authors: jiang jiwei , shang xiuli
Published: March 2019

Backgroud

Recently, a number of studies have reported subacute combined degeneration (SCD) induced by nitrous oxide (N2O) abuse. But there is no report about the relationship between the neuroimaging dynamic evolution and clinical manifestations in a patient with N2O-induced SCD.

Cases presentation

Herein we described a 24-year-old male who developed SCD with inverted V-sign on spinal column caused by massive N2O inhalation. The evolution of conventional MRI findings lagged behind clinical manifestations. It seemed to occur a clinical-radiological dissociation.

Conclusions

Both the inability of serum vitamin B12 to reflect cellular vitamin B12 in time and the low-sensitivity of T2-weighted images to reveal cytotoxic edema can account for the clinical-radiological dissociation.
Hibiscus Leaf Tissue Nutrient Sufficiency Ranges by Chronological Age
Authors: Owen William Garrett
Published: March 2019

Perennial hibiscus (Hibiscus sp.) are popular summer-flowering plants that are grown in greenhouses or nurseries, where growers must optimize production inputs such as fertility to maximize plant growth and produce high-quality flowering crops. The objective of this study was to determine the optimum fertilizer concentrations, identify leaf tissue nutrient sufficiency ranges by chronological age, and to expand leaf tissue nutrient standards of Hibiscus hybrid L. (hibiscus) grown in soilless substrates during container production. Two cultivars of hibiscus (H. hybrid L. ‘Mocha Moon’ and ‘Starry Starry Night’) were grown under one of six constant liquid fertilizer concentrations [50, 75, 100, 200, 300, or 400 mg·L−1 nitrogen (N)] with a constant level of water-soluble micronutrient blend in a greenhouse. The fertilizer concentrations sufficient for optimal plant growth and development were determined by analyzing plant height, diameter, growth index (GI), primary shoot caliper (PSC), and total dry mass, and they were found to be 100–300 mg·L−1 N after an 8-week crop cycle. Recently, mature leaf tissue samples were collected and analyzed for elemental content of 12 nutrients at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks after transplant (WAT) from plants fertilized with 100–300 mg·L−1 N. An overall trend of increasing sufficient tissue concentration over time was observed for total N, phosphorus (P), calcium (Ca), sulfur (S), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and boron (B), whereas a decreasing trend was observed for potassium (K), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), and aluminum (Al). For instance, at 2 WAT, total N ranged from 3.1% to 5.1% N and increased to a range of 4.2% to 4.7% N at 8 WAT. At 2 WAT, Fe and Mn ranged from 79.2 to 103.6 mg·L−1 Fe and 66.3–82.8 mg·L−1 Mn and decreased to ranges of 75.6–82.9 mg·L−1 Fe and 18.1–99.7 mg·L−1 Mn at 8 WAT, respectively. Optimal leaf tissue concentration sufficiency ranges determined in this scientifically-based study were narrower than previously reported survey values for the genera Hibiscus.

Heat stress (HS) negatively influences plant development and growth, especially production and quality. Cucumber is a widely cultivated plant in the gourd family Cucurbitaceae that is often exposed to high temperatures during summer and protected cultivation. In this study, we performed whole-genome re-sequencing of two pools, one heat-tolerant and one heat-sensitive, of the F2 population derived from L-9 (heat-resistant) and A-16 (heat-sensitive). The genetic analysis showed that the heat resistance of L-9 cucumber seedlings was controlled by a single recessive gene. By combining bulked segregant analysis (BSA) technology, the crucial gene related to HS was preliminarily mapped to a 1.08-Mb region on chromosome 1. To fine-map the locus, Indel markers were designed according to the genomic sequence. Finally, the gene was narrowed to a 550-kb region flanked by two Indel markers, namely Indel-H90 and Indel-H224, that contained 56 candidate genes. Re-sequencing results indicated that 10 candidate genes among the 56 in the candidate region showed single base pair differences in the exons. Quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction showed that 6 genes among the 10 candidate genes were significantly decreased when exposed to high temperatures. These results not only were useful for the isolation and characterization of the key genes involved in HS but also provided a basis for understanding the mechanism of heat tolerance regulation.

Published: March 2019

‘Akizuki’ (Pyrus pyrifolia Nakai) is a dominant Asian pear cultivar with gradually increasing cultivation area in Shandong province. However, this cultivar is found susceptible to cork spot disorder in recent years. In this study, we explored the physiological-biochemical mechanism of cork spot disorder in pear fruit, and investigated the effectiveness of spraying calcium (Ca), boron (B) solution or prohexadione calcium (P-Ca) on cork spot incidence. Cork spotted fruit had the characteristics of significantly larger fruit size with shorter fruit pedicels. Compared with normal fruit, cork spotted fruit had lower content of total soluble solids, soluble and reducing sugar, and vitamin C. In addition, cork spotted fruit accumulated much higher levels of N and Mg, and lower levels of K and P. However, Ca deficiency was not observed in cork spotted fruit, on the contrary, we determined high concentrations of Ca and free Ca2+ in disordered fruit. At the same time, the ratios of K/Ca, Mg/Ca, and (K+Mg)/Ca were significantly lower in cork spotted fruit as compared with normal fruit. Among all treatments, spraying with 3500 times dilution of P-Ca at 15-day intervals from 30 to 90 days after full bloom showed promise for reducing cork spot incidence in ‘Akizuki’ pear without affecting fruit quality attributes. This research herein reveals the physiological-biochemical characteristic of cork spot disorder, and implicates P-Ca as a potential tool to reduce cork spot incidence in Asian pear cultivar Akizuki.
