Welfare Implications of Alternative Monetary Policy Rules: A New Keynesian DSGE Model for Turkey
Authors: Yağcıbaşı Özge Filiz , Yıldırım Mustafa Ozan 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
In recent years, there has been extensive research on the conduct of monetary policy in small open economies that are subject to inflation and output fluctuations. Policymakers should decide whether to implement strict inflation targeting or to respond to the changes in output fluctuations while conducting monetary policy rule. This study aims to examine the response of alternative monetary policy rules to Turkish economy by means of a DSGE model that is subject to demand and technology shocks. The New Keynesian model we used is borrowed from Gali (2015) and calibrated for the Turkish economy. Welfare effects of alternative Taylor rules are evaluated under different specifications of central bank loss function. One of the main findings of this paper is that in the case of a technology shock, strict inflation targeting rules provide the minimum welfare loss under all loss function configurations. On the contrary, the losses are weakened if the monetary authority responds to output fluctuations in the presence of a demand shock. Finally, there exists a trade-off between the volatility of output and inflation in case of a technology shock, while the volatility of both variables moves in the same direction in response to a demand shock.

Abstract
Objective: A retrospective study was conducted to access the long-term prognosis of inserting the Ventriculoatrial (VA) shunt in the elderly for the idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH). Material and Methods: Retrospective data is collected from April 2004 to August 2015, and 1065 patients were selected. Patients who underwent surgical examination or surgery in suspected iNPH were included. Tap test is done in all cases and found to be effective for 968 cases and 656 VA shunts for 614 cases. Out of 614 cases there are 440 cases in which patient age were over 75 years. Of these 440 cases only 141 cases were able to observe 03 years or more after the surgery, 37 deaths and 05 cases with survival and unknown prognosis were found among them. So we analyzed this group mainly in 99 cases that the prognosis after 03 years was known. We access the outcome of VA shunt by the modified Rankin scale (mRS), iNPH grading scale (iNPHGS) and complications in the operative 656 cases and in 03 years follow up of 141 patients. Results: Of 141, there are 78 males and 63 females. Age at the time of VA shunt insertion was 81.5±4.1 years and age at final follow-up was 85.2±4.4 years. The proportion of patients who achieved a favorable outcome by complications was 97.9% in 03 years follow-up period and 87.7% in which follow-up is less than 03 years. At the time of VA shunt insertion out of 141, 57 patients lies between 75-79 years, 57 between 80-84, 24 between 85 to 89, and only 03 were found to be 90 years or more. At the time of final follow-up at 03 years, 15 patients lies between 75 to 79 years, 56 between 80 to 84 years, 57 between 85 to 89 years and 23 patents were found to be 90 years or greater. 70 cases or almost 50% exceeded 85 years. At the time of VA shunt 1, 11, 39, 51, 36, 3, 0 patients were in 0 to 6 modified Rankin Scale Score respectively and at 03 years follow-up 8, 19, 32, 29, 9, 2, 37 were in 0 to 6 mRS respectively. Comparison of the study is done with SIPHONI study on VP shunt and LP shunt. Conclusion: Patients suspected of having idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus were treated by VA shunt and found no significant difference in serious adverse effects. This study shows that VA shunt is an effective choice for iNPH in the late elderly population, but it needs more randomized control trial to establish its efficacy.

Published: December 2017

Abstract
Extradural hematomas (EDH) represent one of common imaging findings in cases sustaining traumatic brain injury. Bilateral extradural haematoma is considered rare and even rarer in elder people male. Bilateral extradural hematoma is usually acute, and generally associated with severe traumatic head injury. Mirror-image extradural hematomas (MEDH) constitute a special type of bilateral extradural hamatomas, which is placed anatomically symmetrically on both the sides of the intracranial compartment, requires prompt diagnosis and emergent surgical intervention as it carry high mortality if evacuation of hematoma is not carried out expeditely. The mortality rate still remains higher in comparison to unilateral single extradural hematomas. The postoperative outcome depends on preoperative neurological status, total volume of blood, accurate diagnosis and prompt shifting to neurosurgical facility, expatiation of surgical procedure, pre- hospital care. Authors report a case of a - 65-year-old man who presented with acute simultaneous bilateral extradural haematomas following road traffic accident, underwent bilateral trephine craniotomy and simultaneous evacuation on both side led to good recovery.

AbstractThe objective of our study was the evaluation of major lifestyle risk factors for the development of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and the assessment of chances of developing this disease among inhabitants in the region, in the presence of and with combinations of the studied risk factors. Risk factors for developing RCC that are associated with lifestyle (smoking, obesity and hypertension) were observed in 500 patients with RCC aged 30-64 years who were investigated at the Krasnoyarsk Oncology Dispensary (study group) and 858 participants in the Krai (control group). The results of our study showed that smoking increases the risk of developing RCC 2.9 times and arterial hypertension 3.3 times in men; in women, obesity and hypertension increased these risks 2.6 and 3.2 times, respectively. All three risk factors were combined in 13.6% of men and in 8.4% of women with RCC. Our data may be useful for the prevention, development of screening programmes and early diagnosis of RCC.
Synthesis and reactivity of β-stannylated phenylalanines
Authors: Dölling Karin 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
The free radical hydrostannation of a series of N-benzoyl and N-acetyl dehydrophenylalanine esters 2a
–
h yields β-stannylated phenylalanine derivatives 3 and 4. This addition of tin hydride to such unsaturated compounds simultaneously creates two new chiral centers leading to mixtures of two diastereomeric pairs of enantiomers. The reaction of 3-stannylated phenylalanine 3 with methanolic HCl yields chlorostannyl-substituted compounds 5 and 6 and, with one equivalent of bromine, the bromostannylated compounds 7 and 8 are formed. The bromostannylated phenylalanine derivative 7 reacts with one further equivalent of bromine to produce the dibromostannylated compound 9. Even the chlorostannylated phenylalanine derivative 5 reacts with one further equivalent of HCl to give the dichlorostannylated compound 10. The products were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared (IR), and multinuclear (1H, 13C, 119Sn) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Attempts were made to assign the preferred conformation of the stannylated phenylalanine derivatives using Karplus-type relationship of coupling constants 3
J(H,H), 3
J(Sn,H), and 3
J(Sn,C=O). The results of these analyses have been confirmed by three crystal structure determinations.

RESUMO: Este artigo analisa anúncios publicitários veiculados no YouTube, com vistas a compreender como os diferentes recursos semióticos contribuem para que o anúncio possa significar mais e atingir o público-alvo. Para isso, foram selecionados três anúncios publicitários, veiculados em vídeo, a fim de que fosse feita uma análise dos recursos presentes, a partir da abordagem da Gramática do Design Visual, uma das vertentes da semiótica social. As análises, de cunho descritivo e qualitativo, evidenciam que as funções composicional, interativa e representacional encontram-se articuladas no gênero anúncio publicitário em vídeo e que os sentidos construídos a partir da integração das várias semioses estão vinculados aos padrões de experiência e às interações sociais, próprias de cada cultura.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: multimodalidade; anúncio publicitário; persuasão.ABSTRACT: This article analyzes commercials aired on YouTube, in order to understand how different semiotic resources contribute to the ad might mean more and reach the target audience. Three video advertisements were selected in order to analyze their present resources, based on the Grammar Theory of Visual Design, one of the ramifications of social semiotics. Descriptive and qualitative analyses show that compositional, interactive and representational functions are articulated in the genre advertising and that the meanings constructed from the integration of the various semiosis are linked to the patterns of experience and social interactions according to each culture.KEYWORDS: multimodality; advertisement; persuasion.

Authors: Gere Bryan O. , Burnett Royce D. , Flowers Carl R. , Akaaboune Ouadie 
Published: December 2017

Background:State-federal (VR) program efficiency is the focus of empirical research because of increases in the magnitude and types of program requests, possibly funding cuts and class for models to more appropriately measure and evaluate performance.Objective:The purpose of this study was to examine the impact socioeconomic diversity has on the efficiency of service delivery outcomes at the agency level.Methods:Regular closed employment and competitive employment outcome proxy for service delivery outcome. Seven indicators of socioeconomic status are selected: level of English Language proficiency, percentage with high school education, percentage with a bachelor’s degree, number of persons in a household, per capita income, median household income, and poverty level.Findings:Results obtained suggest the magnitude of non-English language spoken in homes and the level of individuals with bachelor’s degrees in the environment served have a significant impact on the efficiency of both regular and competitive placement outcomes at agency level. In addition, the level of high school education and per capita income affect the ability of agencies to procure competitive employment outcomes.Conclusion:Our result provides evidence that gaining knowledge about the environment from which clients emerge and in which agencies operate is necessary for efficient and effective agency level performance. Our work suggests that knowledge about the presence of language proficiency and bachelors’ degree attainment is key to planning, organizing, directing and controlling the efficiency of agency level regular employment outcome.

Authors: Soldner James L. , Rosales Rocío , Crimando William , Schultz Jared C. 
Published: December 2017

Purpose: Interteaching, an emerging, empirically supported behavioral teaching method, has been recently and successfully introduced in the college classroom. Historically, most interteaching studies have been conducted in didactic classroom settings. To date, no published interteaching studies have used an online course format. Furthermore, no component analysis of the pair discussion component of interteaching has been published. Therefore, this study was intended to examine the pair discussion component of interteaching in an online graduate rehabilitation course.Method: Two conditions were randomly assigned across participants and sessions. The first condition included all key components of interteaching in which student dyads were placed in breakout rooms to discuss the assigned preparation guide. The second condition involved all components of interteaching, with the exception of pair discussion. In this condition, students were placed in breakout rooms to complete the preparation guide on their own. Average student quiz scores were compared across conditions.Results: The pair discussion condition resulted in higher student quiz scores, p < .01. In addition, social validity findings indicated the majority of students reported preference for interteaching with the inclusion of the pair discussion component than without.Conclusions: Finally, limitations of this study and future directions for interteaching technology in online education is discussed.
