Prospect Theory and the Law of Small Numbers in the Evaluation of Asset Prices
Creators: name: Luppi, Barbara
Publisher: name: Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna
Year: 2005
Subjects: SECS-P/01 Economia politica

description: We develop a model of one representative agent and one asset. The
agent evaluates the earnings according to Prospect Theory and he does
not know exactly the stochastic process generating earnings. While
the earnings are generated by a random walk process, the agent considers
a Markovian process, according to which firm’s earnings move
between two regimes, represented by a mean-reverting process and a
trend process, as in Barberis, Shleifer and Vishny (1998). We study
how an agent who is loss averse evaluates the price of a stock when
she takes into account the wrong stochastic process. This twofold departure
from rationality determines permanent effects on stock prices,
even in long run. First, the model shows that agent who evaluates
the asset according to Prospect Theory consistently underestimates
the asset, due to loss aversion bias. This is shown under two different
assumption regarding the functional form of utility. A kinked linear
utility function (as in Bernatzi and Thaler, 1985) and the original and
more general specification of Kahneman and Tversky (1979) are used.
The model allows to explain observed phenomenon in the cross-section
earnings return distribution. We solve this model and according to
Barberis et all (1998), we evaluate the framework by using artificial
data sets of earnings and prices simulated from the model. For plausible
range of parameter values, it generates the empirical predictions
of overreaction and underreaction observed in the data are explained.

description: Background: Diabetes is a major public health challenge in Saudi Arabia, with rising prevalence and significant associated complications. The increasing burden of diabetes in the region necessitates a comprehensive understanding of its prevalence, determinants, and the effectiveness of public health strategies. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and determinants of diabetes using online assessment tools.

Methodology: A cross-sectional design was employed, utilizing online surveys to collect data from adults across various regions of Saudi Arabia. The survey included questions on demographics, diabetes status, lifestyle habits, and self-reported health outcomes. Data analysis involved logistic regression to identify risk factors and chi-square tests to explore associations between diabetes knowledge and management practices.

Results: The study found a diabetes prevalence of 27.19% among participants, with a higher prevalence in females (26%) compared to males (20%). Young adults (ages 18-35) showed a prevalence rate of 19%. Significant associations were observed between diabetes and lifestyle factors; smokers had a 30% higher likelihood of diabetes than non-smokers. Only 40% of respondents demonstrated adequate knowledge regarding diabetes management, which correlated negatively with effective disease control (p<0.05).

Conclusion: This study highlights the high prevalence of diabetes in Saudi Arabia, particularly among females and young adults. The regression analysis revealed significant predictors of diabetes diagnosis, including awareness of risk factors, physical activity levels, gender, and education level. The findings highlight the need for targeted educational and public health strategies to enhance diabetes awareness and promote healthier lifestyles. Further research is needed to evaluate the impact of these strategies on diabetes outcomes.

The role of general and firm-specific training for new technology adoption and economic growth: a critical review
Creators: name: Antonietti, Roberto
Publisher: name: Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna
Year: 2005
Subjects: SECS-P/02 Politica economica

description: Aim of this article is to present an overview of the main economic literature focusing on the issue of
how technology adoption and the accumulation of technical skills by firms affects the aggregate
performance of economic systems. Since the analysis is labour‐demand oriented, a differentiation between a
‘mainstream’ and a ‘non‐mainstream’ approach is supposed to be crucial, the first being consistent with the
neoclassical paradigm of the firm and human capital, while the second with the Schumpeterian paradigm
and the so called view of the firm as a ‘learning organization’.
Going through the basic models, the paper argues that while the mainstream approach is primarily
based on production costs analyses and the capacity of the market and hierarchies to provide the specific
skills in order for workers to deal with new technologies, non‐mainstream approaches are mainly oriented
to the analysis of dynamic competition, entrepreneurial/managerial skills and within‐firm organizational
learning processes that are necessary in order to cope with a changing environment.
A suggestion for simplifying the theory of asset prices

Subjects: SECS-P/01 Economia politica

description: Using an ordinal approach to utility, in the spirit of Hicks (1962, 1967a), it is possible to greatly simplify the theory of
asset prices. The basic assumption is to summarize any probability distribution into its moments so that preferences
over distributions can be mapped into preferences over vectors of moments. This implies that assets, like Lancaster’s
(1966) consumption goods, are bundles of characteristics and can be directly priced, at the margin, in terms of the
market portfolio. Expected utility is not required and both St.Petersburg and Allais paradoxes may be easily solved.

description: Background: Helicobacter Pylori (H. pylori) infection occurs worldwide. Patients with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) may present with abdominal symptoms due to different pathophysiological mechanisms. SCD patients are predisposed to infections due to immune deficiency, abdominal symptoms like dyspepsia and recurrent abdominal pain have been associated with H. pylori infection. This study determined H. pylori prevalence in adult SCA patients and its relationship with socio-demographic, clinical, and laboratory parameters.

Methodology: Adult patients with SCA in Steady State were enrolled after informed consent. Sociodemographic, clinical, and laboratory parameters were documented using a structured questionnaire. H. pylori IgG antibody was detected using lateral flow Rapid Diagnostic Test (FaStep USA). Data were analyzed using EpiInfo 7.2.

Results: The median age of participants was 23(20, 26) years. Most of the participants (56.8%) were from lower socioeconomic classes. Sickle cell painful vaso-occlusive crises and blood transfusion in the previous 12 months were 2(1, 4) and 0(0, 1) respectively. Ninety (53.3%) of the participants had abdominal symptoms. Non-specific abdominal pain was the most common. The median frequency of abdominal pains was 1(0, 2). H pylori infection was found in 23.1%. The Odds for H. Pylori infection were high in participants with abdominal symptoms, antacid use, and multiple abdominal symptoms {OR=1.552, 1.306, and 2.584 respectively) though not statistically significant. At the same time, those with recurrent abdominal pain and male sex had lower Odds (OR=0.875 and 0.831respectively), though not statistically significant.

Conclusion: H. pylori infection is not uncommon among SCA patients. Physicians should be vigilant in SCD patients with multiple abdominal symptoms by screening early and instituting management.

Pitfalls in private and social incentives of vertical crossborder outsourcing
Creators: name: Rossini, Gianpaolo
Publisher: name: Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna
Year: 2005
Subjects: SECS-P/02 Politica economica

description: Vertical production processes take increasingly place in a crossborder
fashion with two distinct patterns. Either a multinational firm
(MNF) controls the whole vertical chain spreading production over
many countries or vertically separeted firms, belonging to different
countries, operate independently in distinct stages. Which arrangement
emerges is a matter of incentives. On the private side, the decrease
of transport costs may expand crossborder outsourcing, due to the incentives to disintegrate that emerge alternatively for the Upstream
and the Downstream sections of production. Even though
there remains a social superiority of vertical integration (V I) this becomes
questionable since the benefits are spread over more than one
country, and some country may rather like a vertically disintegrated
(VD) arrangement, which is often more trade oriented. Finally, we
consider an international duopoly with a vertical restraint, coming
either from a competition or a trade policy. Additional private incentives
to go VD; due to some fresh drawbacks of V I; arise and countries
may show distinct patterns of V I according to their relative size.
Impact of Oxidative Stress on Dairy Animals

Year: 2024

description: The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of Animal health markers associated with oxidative stress in dairy cows during the lactation period. Oxidative stress is an imbalance between increased sources of oxidation and reduced antioxidant mechanisms. During metabolic processes body produces free radicals which are neutralized by antioxidants. On the other hand, too many free radicals produced can interfere with cell regeneration and repair, which over time can lead to accelerated aging and the development of certain diseases. Prolonged exposure to high levels of pro-oxidant factors can lead to structural defects at the mitochondrial DNA level and functional changes in number of enzymes and cellular structures leading to aberrations in gene expression. Therefore, many attempts have been made to restore this “balance” by providing antioxidants to animals to prevent the negative effects of these free radicles produced by the body tissues. Oxidative stress is a disease driver or an epiphenomenon; which deteriorates the condition in body and the use of antioxidants treatment may prevent some degree of oxidative stress from occurring, which could play an important role in controlling inflammation and cellular defense mechanism.

description: The mental health of university students has become a significant cause for worry and public health concerns globally. Studies suggest that many mental health problems for example, depression, anxiety, phobia, suicidal behaviour, and substance use disorder among others, typically arise within the age bracket of 15-25 years, which coincides with the period when many individuals are pursuing higher education. Implementing structural interventions and broad organizational reforms to address student mental health has proven to be advantageous. The potential benefits that can be achieved from investing in students' mental health are improved academic performance, student success and a reduction in discontinuous school enrolment or dropout especially in resource-limited environments. This report presents a research-based multidisciplinary mental health program being implemented at a Nigerian University called the University of Ilorin Tertiary Institution Mental Health Programme (Unilorin TIM Healthcare Programme), aimed at addressing the mental health needs of tertiary institution students. The programme which incorporates preventive education such as enlightenment programs on campus, workshops on stress management, resilience building and coping strategies, amongst other initiatives has recorded significant benefits with positive feedback from the beneficiaries. It is hoped that it will be a model for other institutions within and outside Nigeria.

description: Background: This study assessed the knowledge, attitude, and extent of research involvement among resident doctors at a tertiary health facility in Osun state, Nigeria, and identified its associated factors.

Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study of 199 resident doctors selected via a simple random sampling technique. A structured self-administered questionnaire was used to obtain data with the outcome variable being the resident doctors’ total score on the extent of research involvement. Data analysis was done using the Stata 17 software.

Result: The respondents’ mean age was 34.1±4.6. Only 34(39.1%) of those receiving mentorship in research ranked the support received as good, with the majority 177(88.9%) still desirous of a mentor in research. About 121(60.8%) of the residents had good knowledge of basic research but only 58(29.2%) of them had a positive attitude towards research. Only 23(11.6%) reported confidence in research and needed no guidance. Their mean perceived research ability and extent of research involvement scores were 40.3±8.9 and 4.9±2.8 respectively. Their perceived ability to conduct research (β=0.10, 95% CI: 0.07 to 0.14, P<0.000), being dental residents (β=1.23, 95% CI: 0.45 to 2.02, P=0.002), a perceived need for assistance in research, (β=1.08, 95% CI: 0.16 to 2.01, P=0.022), and the types of research designs ever conducted significantly influenced positively their extent of research involvement.

Conclusion: The majority of the resident doctors studied are poorly involved in research despite their knowledge of basic research, with a gross unmet need for guidance in conducting research. Innovative efforts are needed to link their knowledge about research to conducting one.

description: Background: Surface features present on the dorsal surface of the tongue along with colour and shape are unique characteristics of every individual. Tongue print is being considered as a new biometric and forensic authentication tool. This digital photographic study was conducted to analyze and compare morphological differences on the dorsal surface of the tongue which can serve as a valuable tool in forensic odontology.

Methodology: The present study utilized a digital photographic method. Patients who visited the outpatient department (OPD) of the dental institution for availing necessary dental treatment were included in the study. The final study sample comprised 316 subjects which were recruited by systematic random sampling. The shape, surface texture, colour etc. of the tongue were recorded. Descriptive statistics and chi-square tests were used for statistical analysis. Significance was set at p≤0.05.

Results: The majority of the subjects (60.13%) had a ‘U-shaped’ tongue. ‘Tongue fissures/cracks’ and ‘Smooth Tongue’ were the two prominent surface textures present among 59.18% and 35.13% of the study subjects respectively. The shape and surface texture of the tongue were significantly associated with the gender of the study subjects. Non-visibility of median septum was found more among females than males. More than two-thirds of the subjects (77.51%) belonging to the age group of 18-30 years had pink-coloured tongues and the findings were highly significant (p=0.00).

Conclusion: In addition to rugoscopy and cheiloscopy, the study of lingual morphology may be one of the secure methods for identification in forensic dentistry.

description: Background: Nigeria makes a substantial contribution to the global burden of stillbirths. Stillbirth accounts for about 50% of perinatal mortality and the stillbirth rate is an indicator of the quality of antenatal and intrapartum care. The study sought to determine the prevalence and determinants of stillbirths.

Methodology: This was a retrospective, unmatched case-control study over two years from May 2022 to April 2024. Cases were women with stillbirths that occurred at a gestational age of ≥28 weeks, while controls were women with livebirths, in a 1 case for 2 controls ratio. Data extracted from the hospital records, using a predesigned collection form, included demographic, medical, obstetric and neonatal characteristics as exposure variables. Data was analysed with SPSS version 25, using descriptive and inferential statistics. Multivariate logistics regression was used to determine adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals and a P-value of <0.05.

Results: There were 3,425 live births and 120 stillbirths, giving a stillbirth rate of 35 per 1000 live births. Analysis was performed for 114 cases and corresponding 228 controls, 6 cases were excluded for incomplete data. Maternal age ranged from 20-48 years and parity from 0-7, with no statistical difference between either group (P=0.982 and P=0.638 respectively). There were 58(50.9%) macerated and 56(49.1%) fresh stillbirths, with 21(37.5%) of the fresh stillbirths alive at presentation. Factors associated with stillbirth after multivariate analysis included unbooked status (aOR=9.64; P=0.0001), vaginal delivery (aOR=2.04; P=0.034), abruptio placenta (aOR=25.58; P=0.007), preterm delivery at GA ≤36 weeks (aOR=3.26; P=0.012), and low birth weight <2500g (aOR=3.53; P=0.016). Obstructed labour and ruptured uterus were significant in bivariate analysis but could not be fitted into multivariate analysis because of non-occurrence in controls.

Conclusion: The stillbirth rate at our Centre was 35 per 1000 live births. Associated factors for stillbirth were unbooked status, vaginal delivery, abruptio placenta, preterm delivery, and birth weight <2500g.

description: Respiratory tract infections are an important global cause of morbidity and mortality. Young children are at increased risk for these infections and are frequently colonised with pathogens that can cause such infections. However, how the mucosal immune system differs between children and adults is still relatively unknown. Here, we collected nasal samples from 50 young children and 318 young adults to study how the mucosal immune system and host-microbe interactions differ with age. We used multi-omics data integration techniques to combine host (immunophenotyping, transcriptomic and cytokines) and microbial (16S-rRNA sequencing, viral PCRs and pneumococcal culture) datasets. The mucosa of young children had a paucity of granulocytes, while B cells and CD8+ and CD8-CD4- T cell subsets were increased relative to adults. The nasal mucosa of children also showed higher levels of immune activation and inflammation than those of adults, which associated with the presence of Haemophilus spp. and pneumococcus. In adults, Haemophilus spp. presence was associated with T cell and monocyte recruitment. Pneumococcal colonization in children was also linked to T cells activation, in particular CD8+ T cells. In contrast, colonization with commensals Corynebacterium and Dolosigranulum was associated with reduced T cell activation and gene modules of nasal γδ T cells in children. In adults, a correlation between neutrophil degranulation and Dolosigranulum abundance was observed. Thus, young children demonstrate alterations in the nasal immune compartment compared to adults. Moreover, nasal immune responses in relationship to microbial pathogens differed between children and adults.

Publisher: name: Nigerian Medical Journal
Year: 2024

description: Background: Cholera remains a disease of public health importance in Nigeria associated with high morbidity and mortality. On the 4th of June 2024, the Nigeria center for disease and control prevention (NCDC) through the Disease Surveillance and Notification Officer (DSNO) reported an increase in the number of reported cases of vomiting and diarrhea in Toru-Orua village, Sagbama Local Government Area Council, Bayelsa State, Nigeria. A team of researchers were deployed to investigate the outbreak with the objectives of verifying the diagnosis, identifying risk factors and instituting appropriate control measures to control the outbreak.

Methodology: We conducted a case-control study. We defined a cholera case as any person aged ≥5 years with acute watery diarrhea in Toru - Orua community. We identified community controls. A total of 93 cases and 118 controls were recruited. Structured questionnaires were administered to both cases and controls. Four stool samples from case-patients and two water samples from the community water source were collected for laboratory investigation. We performed univariate and bivariate analysis using Epi-Info version

Results: The mean age of cases and controls was 20.3 years and 25.4 respectively (p value 0.09). Females constituted 50% (cases) and 60%(controls). The attack rate was 4.3% with a case fatality rate of 13%. Four stool (100%) specimen tested positive for Vibrio cholerae. The water source and environment were polluted by indiscriminate defecation. Compared to controls, cases were more likely to have drunk from the river forcados (OR 14.2, 95% CI: 5.5–36.8) and living in households (HH) with more than 5 persons/HH (OR 5.9, 95% CI: 1.3–27.2). Good hand hygiene was found to be protective (OR 0.3, 95% CI: 0.1–0.7).

Conclusion: Vibrio cholerae was the cause of the outbreak in Toru - Orua. Drinking water from river forcados, living in overcrowded HH and poor hand hygiene were significantly associated with the outbreak. We initiated hand hygiene and water treatment to control the outbreak.

description: Background: Persistent exposure to psychosocial stress is linked to an increased risk of metabolic disease, including obesity, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and Type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Metabolic syndrome is driven by an unhealthy lifestyle encompassing a sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy diet as well as psychological distress, which potentially triggers these metabolic derailments. Various mind-body practices, such as postures, breathing, meditation, and relaxation, are included in yoga. Studies suggest that even one yoga session can improve cognitive function, oxygen saturation, baroreflex sensitivity, sympathovagal balance, and the body's ability to recover from stressful stimuli. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the stress attenuation effect of a combined approach of yoga and diet intervention among metabolic syndrome patients.

Methodology: In this study, we randomized 200 subjects diagnosed with metabolic syndrome as per the Joint Interim Statement 2009 into control and combined (yoga+diet) groups according to their intervention which was given for 6 months. Anthropometric, physiological, perceived stress score and biochemical parameters were collected at baseline, 3 months and 6 months.

Results: The study's findings show that, at three and six months from baseline, the combined yoga with diet approach significantly reduced metabolic risk factors (waist circumference, SBP, DBP, fasting blood glucose, and triglycerides) and improved HDL. At three and six months following the combined (yoga+diet) intervention, the perceived stress score also showed a substantial reduction.

Conclusions: Combined (yoga+diet) interventions are effective in lowering the risk of metabolic syndrome and perceived stress.

description: Background: Stigmatizing and discriminatory attitudes have been reported as factors militating against the control of the spread of HIV infection and ending the HIV epidemic. Women of reproductive age identified as a vulnerable group to HIV infection require comprehensive knowledge of HIV transmission and prevention to prevent contracting HIV infection. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the association between reproductive-age women's comprehensive knowledge of HIV transmission and prevention and their stigmatizing and discriminatory attitudes toward individuals living with HIV/AIDS.

Methodology: Secondary data from the 2018 Nigerian Demographic and Health Survey was used for this study. We used in each analysis a weighted sample of women of reproductive age with complete data on the comprehensive knowledge of HIV transmission and prevention and stigmatizing and discriminatory attitudes towards persons living with HIV/AIDS. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis was done to predict the effects of the comprehensive knowledge of HIV transmission and prevention of women of reproductive age on their stigmatizing and discriminatory attitudes toward persons living with HIV/AIDS. Predictor variables with a p-value of ≤ 0.05 were considered statistically significant determinants of HIV/AIDS stigmatizing and discriminatory attitudes.

Results: The number of respondents with HIV/AIDS stigmatizing and discriminatory attitudes was22821 (77.0%). The multivariable regression models showed that women with an average household wealth index, of Islamic faith, and no access to media were more likely to have positive attitudes toward persons living with HIV at Alpha = .05.

Conclusion: Having comprehensive knowledge of HIV transmission and prevention by women of reproductive age did not affect their HIV stigmatizing and discriminatory attitudes towards individuals living with HIV/AIDS differently when compared to those without comprehensive knowledge. The findings that women with no access to media and those with an average household wealth index were more likely to have a positive attitude towards persons living with HIV/AIDS than those with access to media and a rich household wealth index, respectively, require further validation using primary data.

description: Surrogacy involves a woman (surrogate) who consents to carry a pregnancy on behalf of an individual or a couple who cannot conceive for medical reasons. Surrogacy is gaining popularity in Nigeria among infertile couples, partly because surrogacy provides an easier means to having children than adoption. Surrogacy can be either gestational or traditional. Though surrogacy gives hope to infertile individuals, it also comes with peculiar challenges that affect the newborn with medical, ethical, and legal dimensions that caregivers need to be aware of.
We present three sets of preterm triplets conceived by Invitro fertilization (IVF), carried by gestational surrogacy, and managed in our facility. This case report highlights challenges encountered while managing these neonates to create awareness and suggest solutions and guidance to neonatal practitioners.
Topmost challenges include the unsustainability of feeding with the mother’s own milk, lack of kangaroo mother care, abandonment of care by commissioning parents, delay in getting consent for treatment/procedures, determining the legal status of the child vis-à-vis simple issues such as changing the name of the child from that of the surrogate to that of the commissioning parents. The hospital’s legal and welfare departments were key resource units and were involved early in managing these neonates. One baby from each set of triplets was successfully discharged home to the commissioning parents. In conclusion, surrogacy is becoming increasingly common as a means of becoming parents for infertile individuals. There is an urgent need for proper regulation and legal framework for surrogacy and assisted reproduction in Nigeria.

description: Le plateau continental sud-armoricain est l'un des trois segments morphologiques de la marge Nord Gascogne. Cette morphologie actuelle est le résultat de deux phases tectoniques distinctes. La première est une phase de rifting (distension crustale) et d'accrétion océanique liée à la dislocation de la Pangée au jurassique supérieur. La deuxième est une phase de compression liée à la convergence de l'Ibérie vers l'Europe qui débute au Crétacé terminal et qui a une phase paroxysmale à l'Eocène.Appelée phase pyrénéenne, elle induit la fermeture partielle du golfe du Gascogne, une importante déformation du socle et de la couverture sédimentaire Nord-Ibérie et du domaine océanique (surrection de plusieurs reliefs sous-marins). Cette déformation pyrénéenne, de grande longueur d'onde et de faible amplitude, en réponse au flambage lithosphérique "pyrénéen" s'accompagne de profondes modifications topographiques,morphologiques,tectoniques et sédimentologiques en autre sur la plateforme continental sud-armoricaine et plus largement sur l'ensemble du domaine ouest-européen.Le plateau continental présente une architecture en prisme progradant. Avec un faible taux de subsidence et une exposition aux cycles eustatiques, les dépôts quaternaires y sont peu développés. Ainsi le relief actuel du plateau médian est essentiellement hérité des corps sableux transgressifs scellant d'anciennes topographies aux incisions peu marquées.Le premier objectif est d'obtenir la géométrie haute résolution en 3-D des éléments morphologiques,stratigraphiques,sédimentologiques et structuraux de la prolongation à mer des fleuves côtiers sud-armoricain jusqu'à l'isobathe 100-200 mètres au large d'Etel et de Belle-Île. Le deuxième objectif est de préciser l'architecture des dépôts holocène (10000 ans -actuel) sur la partie "médiane,70-120 mètres" du plateau sud-armoricain où le relief actuel est hérité des corps sableux transgressifs. Campagne rattachée aux programmes régionaux 'péri-armor' & 'Cotarmor'.
