Promotion, Relative Performance Information, and the Peter Principle
Authors: Chan Eric W. 
Published: September 2017

ABSTRACT
I examine the effects of providing workers with relative performance information (RPI) on employers' promotion decisions and the impact of those decisions on worker performance. In my experimental setting, the job after promotion requires higher-level abilities than the current job. I find that workers increase their effort to improve their current job performance after a promotion opportunity is announced because they expect this to increase their chances of promotion, even though the new task requires higher-level abilities. Moreover, because employers anticipate that workers who have RPI will react negatively if they see that the best current job performer is not promoted, employers promote the best current job performer, rather than the worker best suited for the next job, more often when workers have RPI than when they do not. Consistent with the Peter Principle, I find that when workers have RPI, the promoted worker's performance is lower after promotion because the promoted worker lacks the ability to perform the new job well. Finally, in a supplemental experiment, I find that providing workers with feedback on their abilities to perform the next job, in addition to current job RPI, improves the effective sorting of workers, but it comes at the cost of reduced promotion-based incentives. My results suggest that, notwithstanding the benefits documented in previous studies, RPI also imposes potential costs that firms should take into account when deciding whether to provide workers with RPI.

ABSTRACT

Objectives:
To test the null hypotheses that the positions of the glenoid fossae and mandibular condyles are identical on the Class I and Class II sides of patients with Class II subdivision malocclusion.

Materials and Methods:
Retrospective three-dimensional (3D) assessments of the positions of the glenoid fossae and mandibular condyles were made in patients with Class II malocclusion. Relative to a fiducial reference at the anterior cranial base, distances from the glenoid fossae and condyles were calculated in pretreatment cone beam computed tomographic scans of 82 patients: 41 with Class II and 41 with Class II subdivision malocclusions. The 3D distances from glenoid fossae to sella turcica in the X (right-left), Y (anterior-posterior), Z (inferior-superior) projections were calculated.

Results:
Patients with Class II malocclusion displayed a symmetric position of the glenoid fossae and condyles with no statistically significant differences between sides (P &gt; .05), whereas patients with Class II subdivision showed asymmetry in the distance between the glenoid fossae and anterior cranial base or sella turcica (P &lt; .05), with distally and laterally positioned glenoid fossae on the Class II side. (P &lt; .05). Male patients had greater distances between glenoid fossae and anterior cranial fossae (P &lt; .05). The condylar position relative to the glenoid fossae did not differ between the two malocclusion groups nor between males and females (P &gt; .05).

Conclusions:
The null hypotheses were rejected. Patients with Class II subdivision malocclusion displayed asymmetrically positioned right- and left-side glenoid fossae, with a distally and laterally positioned Class II side, although the condyles were symmetrically positioned within the glenoid fossae.

Draf III Frontal Sinus Surgery: “How I Do It”
Authors: Carney A. Simon 
Published: September 2017

Background The Draf III approach to the frontal sinus can be used during revision endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic rhinosinusitis and to provide access for tumor resection, mucoceles, and repair of cerebrospinal fluid leaks. Objective To describe a simple and safe way to perform a Draf III approach by using the “outside-in” approach. Methods By using a 0° endoscope and a single 15o, 5-mm, coarse diamond burr, the main steps of the procedure are the following: (1) elevation of the mucosal flaps and creation of the septal window, (2) drilling out the frontal beak, (3) creation of neo-ostium and removal of the interfrontal septum, (4) joining the neo-ostium with the frontal recesses, (5) smoothing off the cavity and lowering of the “frontal T,” and (6) use of mucosal flaps and grafts to cover exposed bone. Conclusion This approach is a quick and easy way to perform a Draf III, and reduces operative time and minimizes complications.

Published: September 2017

Background Because nasal function and shape are so closely intertwined, quantitative assessments can better define their relationship and how they are affected by septorhinoplasty. Objective The aim of this prospective study was to perform an analysis of the nasal airflow resistances and a three-dimensional (3D) evaluation of the soft-tissue changes after closed septorhinoplasty. Methods Before surgery (TO) and 6 months after closed septorhinoplasty (Tl), 30 patients underwent symptoms evaluation by means of the Italian version of the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation scale, endoscopic fiberoptic nasal examination, and visual analog scale for subjective assessment of nasal obstruction. Nasal airflow resistances were investigated with active anterior active rhinomanometry. A 3D laser scanner was used to evaluate facial soft-tissues, with specific nasal points and angles. Results Subjective nasal obstruction decreased. Anterior active rhinomanometry demonstrated a reduction in total inspiratory and expiratory resistances between T0 and T1 but without statistical significance. The significance was still absent after decongestion, excluding turbinate hypertrophy as a cause of failed objective amelioration of nasal resistance. Facial laser scanning showed statistically significant reduction of the superior nasal width and superior alar angle, and a weak negative correlation between the superior alar angle and nasal resistances. Conclusion The absence of objective reduction of nasal airflow resistances could be the result of concurrent surgery on nasal septum and nasal valve. In particular, the ameliorating effect on nasal airflow resistances is counterbalanced by the worsening effect of the narrowing of nasal valve.
An Update on the Epidemiology of Aspirin-Exacerbated Respiratory Disease
Authors: White Andrew A. 
Published: September 2017

Background Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) is a disorder of nasal polyposis, asthma, and hypersensitivity respiratory reactions when on systemic cyclooxygenase 1 blockade. Methods AERD Warrants Specific Evaluation As An Endotype Of Asthma And Chronic Sinus Disease Due To Unique Therapeutic Opportunities. Currently, Aspirin Therapy Is Uniquely Beneficial As An Anti-Inflammatory Therapy In Aerd, With Multiple Additional Therapies Currently In Early To Late Clinical Studies, Which Might Also Show Exceptional Benefit In AERD. Results Yet, given the lack of a simple diagnostic test, opportunities to identify patients with AERD are still frequently neglected. Conclusion Identifying the prevalence and population characteristics necessary to determine appropriate candidates in whom to perform diagnostic aspirin challenge remains critically important and was the purpose of this article.

Published: September 2017

Objective To compare changes in quality of life (QOL) that resulted from sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) and subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) in a real-world clinical setting. Background SLIT is established as a viable alternative to SCIT for the treatment of allergic rhinitis. Although comparative trials are increasingly available, few studies have examined QOL outcomes between these two treatments. Methods One hundred and five participants who underwent immunotherapy for airborne allergies were enrolled in this prospective, single-center study. Forty participants completed the Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (RQLQ) at initiation of therapy, after 6 months, and after 1 year of therapy. Only patients with complete time points were included in the ultimate analysis. Twenty-nine of these participants underwent SCIT and 11 underwent SLIT. The effects of age, sex, and asthma history were also examined. Results The participants in both groups demonstrated improvements in QOL regarding allergic rhinoconjunctivitis over the study period. However, the change in the RQLQ score from both baseline to 6 months and baseline to 1 year was only statistically significant in the SCIT group (p = 0.002, 6 months and 1 year). The participants in the SCIT group also demonstrated statistically significant improvement from baseline to 1 year in the specific domains of practical and emotional functioning, nasal symptoms, non-nasal/eye symptoms, and sleep. After 1 year, both SCIT and SLIT demonstrated a minimally important difference from baseline in the overall RQLQ score. Age <35 years in the SCIT group had a significant positive impact on QOL improvement (p = 0.038). Conclusion Although improvements in QOL were noted in both groups, changes in overall scores and the majority of domains only achieved statistical significance in the SCIT group. A small study population and difficulties adhering to immunotherapy dosing schedules in the SLIT group may be contributing factors.

Published: September 2017

Background Olfactory training is a novel intervention that has been used to treat olfactory dysfunction. This study attempted to investigate the effect of olfactory training in patients with traumatic anosmia. Methods Patients with a clear history of anosmia after experiencing a head injury and whose phenyl ethyl alcohol (PEA) odor detection thresholds were — 1 after steroid and zinc treatment were included. The patients were randomly divided into two groups, with patients in one group given a bottle of PEA and those in another group given a bottle of mineral oil for 3-month olfactory training. All the patients were followed up with a PEA threshold test and the traditional Chinese version of the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT-TC). Magnetic resonance imaging was performed to measure the volume of the olfactory bulbs. Any patient whose PEA threshold result was below —1.01 or whose UPSIT-TC score increased four or more points was considered to have shown improvement in their olfactory function. Results Forty-two patients received PEA olfactory training, whereas 39 received olfactory training with mineral oil. The improvement of PEA thresholds function was observed in 10 patients within the PEA group and in 2 patients in the mineral oil group. The frequency of improvement of threshold within the PEA group was significantly higher than that of the mineral oil group. Neither olfactory bulb volume nor UPSIT-TC score was significantly different between the two groups. Conclusion Our results showed that olfactory training with PEA can improve PEA odor threshold levels in patients with traumatic anosmia.

The experiments was conducted at Kasang village, district of Batang Anai, Padang Pariaman regency during June until December 2013. The objectives of this experiment was to increased lowland rice production through specific location of nutrient management (SLNM) on low potential productivity of lowland. Four packages of fertilization such as Package A, B, C and D were arranged in Randomized Completely Block Design (RCBD) with 6 replications. Result of this experiment showed that; (1) SLNM treatments were significantly affected plant growth such as tiller number and plant high. Saveral of yield components also significantly affected by SLNM treatments packages such as panicles number, number of seeds per panicle, and percentage of filled grains. SLNM package A, B, and C significantly increased grain yields such as 24.9%, 34.2%, and 29.5% respectively compred to farmer package (Package D). The low grain yield with Famer package caused insufficient nutrient supplied for plant growth and yield is due to low fertilizer application and inaccurate nutrient management. The experiment suggested that the best application of inorganic fertilizer should be followed or combined with organic fertilizer such as animal manure or compost and the application of thus material should be in mature condition.

Published: September 2017

Background: Since the outer root sheath of hair follicle is structurally analogous to epidermal keratinocytes, direct immunofluorescence of hair may be an alternate method for monitoring disease activity of pemphigus vulgaris. Our objective was to find the effectiveness of direct immunofluorescence of outer root sheath as an alternate method in monitoring patients with pemphigus vulgaris. Materials and methods: Sixteen diagnosed cases of pemphigus vulgaris and in clinical remission for at least three months were enrolled. Skin biopsy sample and five plucked scalp hair samples of each patient were stained with Fluorescein isothiocyanate conjugate .Results: Hair direct immunofluorescence was positive in 13 (81.25%) patients and skin direct immunofluorescence was also positive in 13 patients (81.25%).Conclusion: Direct immunofluorescence of hair is a simple, specific and non-invasive method, and provides the opportunity to avoid repeated skin biopsies as an appropriate alternative technique for the disease monitoring in patients with pemphigus vulgaris.
Tumor dedifferentiation: diagnostic and therapeutic implications
Authors: Jha Abhimanyu 
Published: September 2017

Some of the neoplasm especially malignant tumors are notorious in masquerading their cell of origin because of additional mutations which drives them to differentiate into unusual phenotype. This is implicated to a phenomenon of tumor dedifferentiation which can mislead into inappropriate categorization and therapy. Dedifferentiation is well recognized in sarcomas such as liposarcoma, chondrosarcoma and MPNST. However, it can also develop in carcinomas, melanomas and lymphomas at initial diagnosis, following therapy or at recurrence. The phenomenon has been reported in both primary tumors as well as at metastatic foci. A correct and early pathological identification of this phenomenon might profoundly help in guiding appropriate therapy. Clinical and radiological findings, immunohistochemistry and genetic analysis are often required for correct lineage identification of these tumors.
Investigation of circulating temperature fluctuations of the primary coolant in order to develop an enhanced MTC estimator for VVER-440 reactors
Authors: Kiss S. , Lipcsei S. 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
Our aim was to develop a method based on noise diagnostics for the estimation of the moderator temperature coefficient of reactivity (MTC) for the Paks VVER-440 units in normal operation. The method requires determining core average neutron flux and temperature fluctuations. The circulation period of the primary coolant, transfer properties of the steam generators, as well as the source and the propagation of the temperature perturbations and the proportions of the perturbation components were investigated in order to estimate the feedback caused by the circulation of the primary coolant. Finally, after developing the new MTC estimator, determining its frequency range and optimal parameters, trends were produced based on an overall evaluation of measurements made with standard instrumentation during a one-year-long period at Paks NPP.
