Destabilizing momentum trading and counterbalancing contrarian strategy by large trader groups
Authors: Cho Jang Hyung , Daigler Robert , Ki YoungHa , Zaima Janis 
Published: October 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to assess trading strategies adopted by each large trader group and examine their effects on the volatility in the interest rate futures markets.

Design/methodology/approach
The Grinblatt et al.'s (1995) measure of momentum strategy is used to estimate the degree momentum and contrarian strategies. Then, regression analysis is used to determine the effects of trading strategies on volatility.

Findings
Up until 2005, the trades by non-clearing member firms in the futures market were separated from institutional traders providing us the opportunity to study trading strategies adopted by large distinct trading groups and its effects on volatility in the futures markets. It is found that individual traders use momentum strategy, whereas market makers and institutional traders use contrarian strategy. Momentum strategy adopted by individual traders increases volatility whereas contrarian strategy dampens volatility. Moreover, it is found that institutional traders engage more actively in contrarian trading when individual traders cause excessive volatility. The two distinct trading groups were separately tracked prior to 2005 giving us a unique window to determine the effect of the traders that conduct momentum trading as opposed to the ones that are contrarian traders. After the reclassification, the institutional trading group exhibited weaker contrarian strategy which can be attributed to the inclusion of non-clearing firm traders.

Originality/value
This study documents the first empirical evidence that shows off-exchange futures trader group is not composed of only pure noise makers, but there are short-term forecasters in its group. The authors also show a unique finding that noises caused by off-exchange group is from momentum strategy that they use, whereas contrarian strategy is used by institutional trader lower volatility.
Multilevel modeling for longitudinal data: concepts and applications
Authors: Hair Jr. Joseph F. , Fávero Luiz Paulo 
Published: October 2019

Purpose
This paper aims to discuss multilevel modeling for longitudinal data, clarifying the circumstances in which they can be used.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors estimate three-level models with repeated measures, offering conditions for their correct interpretation.

Findings
From the concepts and techniques presented, the authors can propose models, in which it is possible to identify the fixed and random effects on the dependent variable, understand the variance decomposition of multilevel random effects, test alternative covariance structures to account for heteroskedasticity and calculate and interpret the intraclass correlations of each analysis level.

Originality/value
Understanding how nested data structures and data with repeated measures work enables researchers and managers to define several types of constructs from which multilevel models can be used.
Ageing in organizations
Authors: Tonelli Maria Jose , Pereira Jussara , Cepellos Vanessa , Lins João 
Published: October 2019

Purpose
This paper aims to show which factors influence the perception of human resources professionals about managers over 50 years old and which factors guide the age management practices adopted in the surveyed companies.

Design/methodology/approach
To this end, a survey was conducted with 140 companies accessed from a database of a human resources association. Through the answers obtained through the online questionnaire, an exploratory factor analysis was made with the aid of Software R.

Findings
Thus, it was possible to identify four factors that explain the work posture of professionals 50 years of age and older (company expectations, performance, morality and knowledge and professionalism) and three factors that guide the adoption of age management practices in organizations (recruitment & selection and integration, retention and continuity in the company, adaptation to the needs).

Originality/value
The results suggest that, even considering the high performance of older managers, perceived by HR professionals, the adoption of age management practices is still insufficient, making it difficult for these professionals to enter and remain in organizations. Moreover, it can be inferred that such posture indicates biases of discrimination and age stereotypes.
Satisfaction and attitudinal responses: indirect effects of involvement and reputation
Authors: Fernandes Aleixo , Brandao Marcelo Moll , Lopes Evandro Luiz , Quevedo-Silva Filipe 
Published: October 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to identify the influence of the company’s reputation and individual consumer involvement in the relationship between satisfaction, loyalty and willingness to pay more for a product.

Design/methodology/approach
The method used is quantitative, by means of a survey with real consumers of automotive services of two vehicle dealerships, whose data were analyzed through linear regression analysis and conditional analysis of moderation.

Findings
The authors have identified that the relationship between satisfaction and loyalty and between loyalty and willingness to pay more for a product is entirely moderated by the (high) reputation of the brand and the (high) individual involvement of the consumer.

Practical implications
The study contributes to marketing managers as it demonstrates effect of brand reputation and involvement. Therefore, it is understood that these variables need to be considered in satisfaction surveys, as it has been proven that satisfaction alone cannot explain the variables of business performance (loyalty and willingness to pay).

Originality/value
The greatest innovation of this study is the identification of the total moderation between stated satisfaction and loyalty and between satisfaction and willingness to pay more. It has been demonstrated that high levels of brand reputation coupled with high levels of consumer involvement account for the fully dependent variables.
Parliament, print and the politics of disinformation, 1642–3
Authors: White William 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
This article explores the political uses of disinformation during the English civil war. It argues that forged and falsified publications formed part of a sophisticated propaganda strategy employed by the parliamentarian war party, aimed at discrediting Charles I during the first months of the conflict. It therefore offers an important corrective to traditional emphases on the anxieties that partisan print engendered. Furthermore, by showing that this strategy drew on both the practices and texts associated with early Stuart scribal opposition to Caroline rule, the article suggests an important link between pre-war manuscript culture and the print practices of the sixteen-forties.

Published: October 2019

AbstractThis study explored the effect of different nonthermal pretreatments, osmosonication (OS), osmotic dehydration, and ultrasound methods on the physical and chemical properties of China‐ and Ghana‐sourced ginger samples under relative humidity convective drying. The chemical properties of pretreated dried ginger slices were assessed for antioxidant properties (ABTS and DPPH); total phenolic content; total flavonoids content; and 4‐, 6‐, 8‐, and 10‐gingerol and 6‐shogaol levels. The physical properties compared were weight loss, rehydration ratio (RR), texture, and drying kinetics. Results revealed that OS pretreatment led to a higher preservation of the chemical properties with the Ghana‐sourced ginger exhibiting the highest values. The OS‐treated samples obtained the highest weight losses and RRs, but the RR was higher in the Chinese ginger. OS pretreatment also gave the lowest textural value with the China‐sourced samples exhibiting the lowest firmness. Weibull model best fitted the experimental results (R2> 0.99).Practical ApplicationGinger remains among the most notable medicinal spices worldwide. It is used as a raw material for the pharmaceutical, beverage, cosmetics, and the food industries. Long‐term storage of ginger is one of paramount importance, hence any pretreatment that reduces its moisture content and lessens its drying time but preserves its quality is ideal. In this study, we report the effect of different nonthermal pretreatments, osmosonication, osmotic dehydration, and ultrasound on the physical and chemical properties of China‐ and Ghana‐sourced ginger samples under relative humidity convective drying. The present findings will offer more information in the selection of the best pretreatment technique for drying ginger.

Published: October 2019

AbstractBackgroundAntineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)‐associated vasculitis (AAV) and immunoglobulin G4‐related disease (IgG4‐RD) have some common features. The co‐occurrence/concurrence of AAV and IgG4‐RD was recently published by the collaborative European Vasculitis Study Group. First, we aimed to investigate ANCA positivity of our IgG4‐RD cohort. Second, a literature review of co‐occurrence/concurrence of AAV and IgG4‐RD was done.MethodsData of 62 patients with IgG4‐RD in Hacettepe Vasculitis Center Database were used. Patient dataset was designed to include demographic data, clinical characteristics, imaging and IgG4‐RD, AAV and ANCA test results. At the next step, we performed a systematic literature review in PUBMED database covering the time period from 1976 until April 2018. Relevant publications were searched using these MeSH terms ‘‘IgG4‐related disease and Anti‐Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody‐Associated Vasculitis’’, “IgG4‐related disease and Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis”, “IgG4‐related disease and Microscopic Polyangiitis” and “IgG4‐related disease and Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis”.ResultsThree (10.3%) of 29 patients had low titer ANCA positivity. These three patients didn't have any findings of vasculitis and no granuloma was seen in biopsy. In the literature review, we found 17 cases had features of both IgG4‐RD and AAV. These cases were re‐evaluated according to the Comprehensive Diagnostic Criteria for IgG4‐RD. ANCA were positive in 15 of 17 patients (88%).ConclusionNone of our IgG4‐RD patients overlapped with AAV. Only two patients in the literature review seemed to be fully compatible with both diseases. Even though AAV and IgG4‐RD share similar clinical features, we think this might be a co‐occurrence instead of a histopathological link.
Financial well‐being amongst elderly Australians: the role of consumption patterns and financial literacy
Authors: Xue Rui , Gepp Adrian , O'Neill Terry J. , Stern Steven , Vanstone Bruce J. 
Published: October 2019

AbstractConsumption behaviour and financial literacy are primary factors in determining the financial well‐being of retirees. This paper uses an existing financial literacy index to examine how financial literacy directly, and via an interaction with consumption patterns, affects elderly Australians’ financial well‐being. We find that most elderly Australians hold an optimistic attitude towards their financial situation, and those who are relatively older, more educated, healthier and outright homeowners are more likely to report higher levels of financial well‐being. Financial literacy significantly improves financial well‐being. It also helps strengthen the positive effects of meeting more of non‐essential consumption needs on financial well‐being.
The role of genetics and epigenetics in the pathogenesis of gestational diabetes mellitus
Authors: Rosik Jakub , Szostak Bartosz , Machaj Filip , Pawlik Andrzej 
Published: October 2019

AbstractDiabetes mellitus (DM) is a heterogeneous group of disorders whose common trait is chronic hyperglycemia. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is one of the subtypes of DM that manifests during pregnancy. It is believed that 2%–5% of pregnancies worldwide are complicated with GDM, with the prevalence having significantly increased over the last decade. While the pathogenesis of the disease remains largely unknown, GDM is believed to be a result of interactions between genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors. Linkage and association studies, including those that are genome‐wide, have allowed us to identify complex genetic and epigenetic mechanisms that lead to the development of GDM. Multiple common variants in candidate genes such as potassium inwardly rectifying channel subfamily J, member 11 (KCNJ11), glucokinase (GCK), or hepatocyte nuclear factor 1α (HNF1A) have been found to increase the disease risk. In this review, we provide a detailed overview of the current knowledge concerning the influence of genetics and epigenetics on the development of GDM.
Shouldering Moral Responsibility: The Division of Moral Labor among Pregnant Women, Rabbis, and Doctors
Authors: Ivry Tsipy , Teman Elly 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACTThis article contributes to the anthropology of morality through an ethnographic focus on the consultations of religiously observant Jews with rabbis and medical specialists regarding dilemmas surrounding prenatal diagnosis of fetal anomalies. Our ethnography looks at religious couples who consult rabbinic authorities on their reproductive dilemmas rather than making autonomous decisions and the procedures of decision‐making that rabbis enact. We examine the rabbis’ emic practice of dividing moral labor and outsourcing it in a chain reaction to various medical and rabbinic experts. The purpose of outsourcing moral decisions and aggregating expert opinions is to lighten the heavy weight of moral responsibility for consultees as well as for the rabbinic consultants. In seeking expert consultations, people might actually be opting for liberation from freedom of choice—at least as defined in the model of autonomous decision‐making—rather than merely submitting to an authoritative doctrinarian power, whether of religion or biomedicine.

Published: October 2019

AbstractBackgroundAcute cholangitis (AC) complicated by septic shock is associated with 40% mortality. The best screening method for diagnosing sepsis in patients with AC is unknown. In this study, we aimed to compare the discriminative powers of systemic inflammatory response syndrome criteria (SIRS test) and the 2018 Tokyo Guidelines for moderate cholangitis (TG18 test) in screening AC patients for sepsis and to estimate their predictive abilities.MethodsThis was a retrospective diagnostic accuracy study in which the TG18 and SIRS tests were applied to two groups of patients; 52 patients with 70 hospital admissions had AC with shock index ≥0.7 and 46 patients with 57 hospital admissions had AC with shock index <0.7, uncomplicated choledocholithiasis, obstructive jaundice and biliary stent removal.ResultsThe sensitivity and specificity for the TG18 test in identifying AC patients with sepsis were 69% and 68%, respectively. The SIRS test applied to the same patient cohort yielded 93% sensitivity and 79% specificity. The SIRS test had a larger area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, 86% and 69%, respectively (P = 0.0004). With a sepsis prevalence of 23% in patients with biliary tract infections, the positive predictive value (PPV) for the SIRS test was 57% (95% confidence interval (CI) 44–69%) and the negative predictive value was 97% (95% CI 94–99%). The PPV and negative predictive value for the TG18 criteria were 39% (95% CI 30–50%) and 88% (95% CI 83–92%), respectively.ConclusionThe SIRS test had better discriminative power in identifying AC patients with sepsis than the TG18 criteria, but had a low PPV.
Post‐operative complications in patients with a significant post‐operative decrease in γδT cells

Published: October 2019

AbstractBackgroundIt has previously been shown that appropriate distribution of immune cells between different tissues and organs of the body is required for proper function of the immune system. Our previous work demonstrated that surgical trauma in mice induces γδT lymphocyte migration from peripheral blood to the peritoneal lymphoid organs. These described γδT cells have immunoregulatory activity as they suppress the cell‐mediated immune response in vitro. We found a similar phenomenon in patients after different surgical operations. In the current study, we analyse post‐operative complications in patients with a significant post‐operative decrease in γδT cells.MethodsWe investigated the percentage of γδT cells in peripheral blood of patients undergoing standard surgical procedures (gastric resection, colorectal resection, cholecystectomy and strumectomy) before and 3 days after the operation. The percentage of γδT cells was evaluated by the fluorescence‐activated cell sorting cytofluorimeter. Patients were grouped based on the decrease of γδT cells. We compared the number of septic complications in patients with a large and small decrease in γδT cells.ResultsAfter major surgery in the peritoneal cavity (gastric and colorectal surgery), in the group that had a large decrease in γδT cells we found significantly more septic complications than in the group of patients with small γδT decrease. That effect was not visible after less traumatic surgery.ConclusionSurgery results in a decreased percentage of γδT lymphocytes in the peripheral human blood which correlates with the number of septic complications. This observation may help to predict post‐operative recovery after gastroabdominal surgery.
Closing the survivorship gap in children and adolescents with Hodgkin lymphoma
Authors: Castellino Sharon M. , Parsons Susan K. , Kelly Kara M. 
Published: October 2019

SummaryThe treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is one of early success. However, disease‐free survival (DFS) does not reflect latent organ injury and its impact on health status and well‐being beyond 5 years. In fact, we are at a crossroads, in terms of needing individualized approaches to maintain DFS, while minimizing late effects and preserving health‐related quality of life (HRQoL). Premature morbidity and mortality translate to a high societal cost associated with the potential number of productive life years ahead in this population who are young at diagnosis. The discordance between short‐term lymphoma‐free survival and long‐term health and HRQoL creates a “survivorship gap” which can be characterized for individuals and for subgroups of patients. The current review delineates contributors to compromised outcomes and health status in child and adolescent (paediatric) HL and frames the survivorship gap in terms of primary and secondary prevention. Primary prevention aims to titrate therapy. Secondary prevention entails strategies to intervene against late effects. Bridging the survivorship gap will be attained with enhanced knowledge of and attention to biology of the tumour and microenvironment, host genetic factors, HRQoL and sub‐populations with disparate outcomes.

SummaryViral respiratory infections (VRIs) contribute to the morbidity and transplant‐related mortality (TRM) after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and strategies to prevent and treat VRIs are warranted. We monitored VRIs before and after transplant in children undergoing allogeneic HSCT with nasopharyngeal aspirates (NPA) and assessed the impact on clinical outcome. Between 2007 and 2017, 585 children underwent 620 allogeneic HSCT procedures. Out of 75 patients with a positive NPA screen (12%), transplant was delayed in 25 cases (33%), while 53 children started conditioning with a VRI. Patients undergoing HSCT with a positive NPA screen had a significantly lower overall survival (54% vs. 79%) and increased TRM (26% vs. 7%) compared to patients with a negative NPA. Patients with a positive NPA who delayed transplant and cleared the virus before conditioning had improved overall survival (90%) and lower TRM (5%). Pre‐HSCT positive NPA was the only significant risk factor for progression to a lower respiratory tract infection and was a major risk factor for TRM. Transplant delay, whenever feasible, in case of a positive NPA screen for VRIs can positively impact on survival of children undergoing HSCT.
