Economic costs of conglomerates : evidence using mutual funds.

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

This paper shed light on another determinant of mutual fund flow – the management company return. Using a sample period of 1992 to 2008, we randomly select five mutual fund families from the mutual fund universe to run our model. The five mutual fund families include Alliance Bernstein, Morgan Stanley, T. Rowe Price, Putnam and JP Morgan Chase and Co. (JP Morgan). We also identify two groups of investors – the uninformed individual investors and the sophisticated institutional investors. Our model predicts that family-level mutual fund flow has a significant, positive and linear correlation to management company return. Empirical tests support this prediction, and the results remain robust even after including management and year dummies. A case study is done to further substantiate the results. One company is randomly selected from the sample and we test the effect of highly negative news events on management company stock price and family-level mutual fund flow. The results show that after a highly negative news event, there is noticeable downward price drift in management company stock price followed by decrease in family-level mutual fund new money growth. This is in line with our empirical results.
The stresses arising from violence, threats and aggression against child protection social workers

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This article examines the effects of violence against child protection social workers from service users in England and Finland.Proposals from analysis of research findings for improved policies and practice in agencies are discussed.In addition, results of a smaller number of interviews with social workers in Finland are discussed. Findings:The research found that there are a number of different effects on child protection social workers, depending on a variety of factors involved in any particular situation.These include concerns about the effects of user violence in their work protecting children; the importance of managers keeping a focus on workers' safety, particularly when threats are not always obvious to others; staff support strategies; responses to violent service users; and how workers' experiences can be employed to improve risk assessment and risk management.Application: This article suggests that the experiences and learning of social workers need to be more systematically included in policy development and review, and that attitudes and procedures need to be in place which allow them to report their concerns and have them dealt with effectively.
The Elasto-Plastic Contact Models of Cylinder-Based and Sphere-Based Fractal Rough Surfaces

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The elasto-plastic contact models of cylinder-based and sphere-based fractal rough surfaces are developed. In the two models, the critical contact areas of a single asperity are scale-dependent. With an increase in the contact load and contact area, a transition from elastic, elasto-plastic to full plastic deformation takes place in this order. The truncated asperity size distribution functions of different frequency indexes in different contact zones are deduced. The relations between the total real contact area and total contact load for cylinder-based and sphere-based fractal rough surfaces are obtained. The pressure distributions in the contact zone are obtained. The results of elasto-plastic contact models show that the mechanical property of cylinder-based and sphere-based fractal rough surfaces depends on the range of the frequency index of asperities. When the first six frequency indexes are smaller than the elastic critical frequency index, the cylinder-based and sphere-based fractal rough surfaces approximately appear to have an elastic property in the complete contact process. When the minimum frequency index is greater than the elastic critical frequency index, elastic deformation first takes place in the rough surfaces. Then, elasto-plastic deformation takes place with an increase in the total contact load. In elastic deformation, the ratios of the peak pressures of present fractal models to those of Hertzian models are constant for a given range of frequency indexes. In inelastic deformation, the ratios of the peak pressures are inversely proportional to the total contact load.
Salvage of Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction in Nipple-Sparing Mastectomies With Autologous Flaps

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Implant-based breast reconstruction (IBR) after nipple-sparing mastectomies (NSM) can have complications that require explantation of a tissue expander or permanent prosthesis. When complications occur, preservation of the nipple-areola complex (NAC) remains critical to ensure aesthetic breast reconstruction. To date, there are minimal data on outcomes for patients experiencing unplanned explantations in IBR after NSM.To evaluate final reconstructive outcomes for NSM patients who undergo IBR and have an unplanned explanation and to separately analyze the outcome of the NAC aesthetic subunit.We analyzed a prospectively maintained database of NSM patients undergoing IBR reconstruction at a single institution to identify patients who had complications resulting in unplanned explanation. Demographics, covariates, and reconstructive outcomes, including salvage with IBR or autologous flaps, were assessed. Final outcomes of the NAC were also evaluated.A total of 213 patients underwent 382 NSM with IBR with either direct-to-implant (DTI) or tissue expander/implant (TE/I) reconstructions. The complication rate was 15.2% (N = 58) and 33 (8.6%) unplanned explantations occurred: 23 (69.8%) of whom ultimately completed reconstruction with either IBR (30.4%) or autologous flaps (69.6%). NACs were preserved in 62.5% of breasts with unplanned explantations. Only 8 NACs were lost in the entire cohort (2.1%).Following unplanned explantations in IBR after NSM, salvage can be performed with either IBR or autologous flaps. However, the majority of salvage procedures in IBR after NSM will be with autologous flaps that bring in healthy soft tissue to restore location specific defects caused by complications. The NAC can ultimately be preserved as an aesthetic subunit in most patients despite the occurrence of initial complications.
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma presenting as bilateral parotid enlargement, mimicking Sjögren's syndrome

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Parotid gland lymphomas are rare with an incidence of 2% of all salivary gland tumors and are therefore commonly overlooked. They can occur de novo , arise in the background of a preexistent Sjogren's syndrome, or can be involved in disseminated non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). We report here a case of a 45-year-old female patient with disseminated NHL, presenting as bilateral parotid enlargement, clinically thought to be Sjogren's syndrome, diagnosed on fine needle aspiration cytology. A high index of suspicion and distinction from its more common mimics such as Sjogren's syndrome is needed to provide a quick and correct diagnosis as well as appropriate management.

The Impact of Resilience and Leader–Member Exchange on Actual Turnover: A Prospective Study of Nurses in Acute Hospitals

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Background/Objectives: High nurse turnover has economic implications for healthcare organizations and impacts the quality of care. Individual, job-related, and organizational factors determine nurse turnover. This study, thus, aimed to investigate the impact of nurses’ resilience and the quality of the relationship between staff nurses and nurse managers, defined as leader–member exchange (LMX), on actual nurse turnover. Methods: A prospective study was conducted from June to July 2022, targeting nurses from three advanced treatment hospitals in Japan. Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire investigating the participants’ actual turnover in April 2023. The data of 1130 nurses were analyzed in this study. A binary logistic regression analysis was performed using actual turnover as the dependent variable and nurse resilience and LMX as independent variables. Results: The results revealed that while LMX influenced actual turnover, nurse resilience had no statistically significant relationship with turnover. Conclusions: The findings show that LMX needs to be improved if actual turnover is to be curbed.
"A backbone pain": 61-year-old Female with Acute Aortic Dissection Stanford Type B

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction: In Europe, Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) remains the most common cause of morbidity and mortality, with 49% of deaths in women and 40% of deaths in men. Women have a higher risk of CVDs mortality, worse prognosis, and outcomes, major cardiovascular events, are undertreated, and have a lower rate of diagnostic angiograms and interventional procedures, compared to men. Case Summary: A 61-year-old white female, presented to the Emergency Department (ED) with chief complaints of sudden bone pain and a headache. She had been evaluated but discharged without further investigation from another ED, because of the symptoms she reported. She has a history of smoking for 30 years. Her family history included sudden death for both parents, with the symptomatology of an aneurysm. She never had a cardiovascular (CV) assessment before or any CV symptoms. Upon triage, the pain was located in the upper back and extended down the back. She characterized it as ‘bone pain’ (skeletal pain). Vital signs revealed high Blood Pressure (BP) [216/97] mmHg. Her initial laboratory investigation revealed D-dimers level 1.01μg/ml with an upper limit of normal <0.50μg/ml. Urgent Computerized Tomography Angiography of whole aorta with IV contrast was performed and a diagnosis of Aortic Dissection Stanford Type B was given. The patient was admitted to the ICU for close hemodynamic monitoring and medical therapy, BP control, and pain management. The patient was monitored for 19 days without any complications. There were no indications for surgical intervention between admission and discharge, based on the latest guidelines. Discussion: The presented clinical case is an example of lack of adequate recognition and assessment by health professionals, but also of inadequate prevention and delay of presentation to medical care by the patient due to misconception. This must drive the community of cardiology to implement changes in prevention, diagnosis, intervention, and management for women, and provide education and training in early recognition and management of CVDs in the medical community, taking into consideration the sex and gender differences.
Molecular Cloning of a Third Chitinase Gene (CHT1) from Candida albicans

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Here we report the complete nucleotide sequence of a third chitinase gene (CHT1) from the dimorphic human pathogen Candida albicans. The deduced amino acid (aa) sequence of Cht1 consists of 416 aa and displays 36% protein sequence similarity to chitinases Cht2 and Cht3, from C. albicans. Interestingly the domain structure of Cht1 is truncated when compared to the other chitinases of C. albicans and lacks a Ser/Thr-rich region. The sequence data will appear in the GenBank Nucleotide Sequence Data Library under the accession number U36490.
Potential Environmental Risks from Home Healthcare-Generated Municipal Solid Waste in Texas

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Current hazardous waste disposal policies in the Home Health Care setting were evaluated as it related to the need for better regulation of hazardous materials entering residential waste streams. It was found that all waste materials from home care visits with the exception of “sharps,” were placed directly into residential waste streams. Therefore, large volumes of potentially hazardous waste go undetected annually to municipal incinerators along with ordinary household refuse. Accordingly, the application of established TCEQ regulations to the home health environment is critical to protecting the public and the environment from possible harm. At the least, some home care waste should also be included in the list of household hazardous waste. The urgency for improved disposal methods is due to increasing the volumes of potentially hazardous materials and increased risks to public health and environment from toxic leachates and incinerator by-products.
Carl Jung, John Layard and Jordan Peterson

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract In this article I discuss the relationship between analytical psychology and theories of human social evolution. More specifically I look at debates in evolutionary studies and anthropology regarding the priority of matrilineal social structure in the emergence of Homo sapiens . These debates were occurring in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and they provide the context for many of the assumptions of psychoanalysis and analytical psychology. In this essay I will explore these issues in relation to analytical psychology. I will also discuss the work of anthropologist John Layard who proposed matriliny was humanity’s original form of social organisation. Interestingly, Layard’s field work had significant impact on Jung. I will also compare the work of Layard, and other theorists who adopt matrilineal theories of human social evolution, with the theories of Jordan Peterson. Peterson has developed an idiosyncratic evolutionary conception of analytical psychology, one in which he explicitly rejects the notion of matrilineal priority in human evolution. He also adopts certain assumptions about the evolutionary origins of contemporary socio-political hierarchy, assumptions I argue are not supported by data from numerous fields of scientific enquiry.
THE EFFECTS OF CROSS-TRAINING ON ENERGY EXPENDITURE AND UTILIZATION OF OVERWEIGHT WOMEN 476

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The purpose of this study was to determine if energy expenditure (EE) or energy utilization (EU) changed in response to cross-training. Twelve overweight women (BMI±SD=28.7±4.4) participated in a diet and exercise study while living in a metabolic research unit. The controlled diet was mildly restricted in energy (8.03±1.05 MJ·d-1). Exercise included a daily 3 mile walk, aerobic workout 5 d·wk-1, and weight training 3 d·wk-1. At the beginning (T0) and after 8 wk of training (T8), EE and EU were studied by indirect calorimetry in this sequence: at rest, following ingestion of a 1 MJ “sports bar”, during 30 min of cycling at 50% peak VO2, and for 1 hr post-exercise. Serial blood samples were obtained coincidentally and analyzed for glucose and insulin. As a result of intervention, body mass decreased by 5%, but fat-free mass decreased by only 1%. At T8, exercise EE increased 7% (p<0.01) due to modest improvements in peak VO2. The increase in EE resulted from higher carbohydrate oxidation (p≤0.01). Also during exercise at T8, plasma glucose levels were lower (T0=3.9mM vs T8=3.6mM, p≤0.01), and insulin levels did not change. These data suggest that the production of glucose during exercise did not keep pace with its utilization. Despite increased exercise EE, post-exercise EE decreased 5-7% (p≤0.01), post-prandial EE decreased 4% (p≤0.05), whereas resting EE did not change. During rest at T8, the respiratory exchange ratio tended to decrease (p=0.06), and carbohydrate oxidation decreased by 16% (p≤0.05). The small decreases in EE, post-prandial and post-exercise, could impact energy balance over time and could be viewed as a compensatory mechanism that conserves energy during a state of energy deficit. Contrary to what we expected, we found no enhancement of fat utilization as a result of cross-training.
Associations of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D with hsCRP and other novel inflammatory biomarkers in children: a cross-sectional study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective Previous studies have shown the anti-inflammatory effect of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and the crucial roles of high-sensitive C reactive protein (hsCRP) and novel inflammatory markers (red blood cell distribution width–platelet count ratio (RDWPCR), mean platelet volume–platelet count ratio (MPVPCR), neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and white blood cell–neutrophil ratios (WBCNR)) in several diseases, but scarce data explored the associations of 25(OH)D with hsCRP and novel inflammatory markers. This study aimed to investigate these associations in children. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Children in China. Participants 10141 children (mean age 14.6 months) were included. Primary and secondary outcome measures HsCRP, red blood cell distribution width, platelet count, mean platelet volume, neutrophil, lymphocyte and white blood cell were measured. Results Overall, serum 25(OH)D was inversely associated with hsCRP and novel inflammatory biomarkers. In multivariable analysis, serum 25(OH)D was inversely associated with hsCRP and novel inflammatory biomarkers (Q quartile (Q) 4 vs Q1: 1129.75 vs 2090.99 for hsCRP; 4246.94 vs 6829.89 for RDWPCR; 4863.57 vs 5545.66 for MPVPCR; 4345.76 vs 6507.46 for NLR; 2418.84 vs 2868.39 for WBCNR). Similar results also were observed in stratified analyses by sex (boys and girls). Moreover, serum 25(OH)D was inversely associated with elevated inflammation levels. After adjustment for other potential covariates, inverse associations between serum 25(OH)D and elevated inflammation levels were still observed. The corresponding ORs (95% CI) were 0.05 (0.04, 0.06) for hsCRP, 0.13 (0.11, 0.15) for RDWPCR, 0.74 (0.64, 0.85) for MPVPCR, 0.11 (0.09, 0.13) for NLR and 0.57 (0.49, 0.66) for WBCNR in the fourth quartile compared with the first quartile, respectively. Conclusions Generally, the graded and inverse associations of serum 25(OH)D with hsCRP and four novel inflammatory markers (RDWPCR, MPVPCR, NLR and WBCNR) were observed. The present study provided further support for the anti-inflammatory effects of 25(OH)D.
Assessing capacity to consent to sexual relations

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This chapter discusses the different approaches to assessing capacity to consent to sexual relationships. It examines assessing capacity to consent to sexual relationships under criminal law, with reference to the Sexual Offences Act and highlights the differences between this approach and that of the approach under civil law. Capacity to consent to sexual relations is an area of assessment that creates a great deal of confusion and anxiety for assessors. The Courts have been pragmatic in recognising that it would be intrusive for the person and impractical to revisit the issue of capacity every time the person wishes to engage in sexual activity with someone. The Courts have been generally clear that the weighing up component, whilst not an "irrelevant consideration", is "unlikely to loom large in the evaluation of capacity to consent to sexual relations". A range of additional factors can then be considered relevant to person A, person B and the circumstances surrounding the sexual contact.
Saving the Subject: Modernity and the Problem of the Autonomous Individual

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract While the announcement that Minerva's owl is about to depart may be premature, one is increasingly struck by the feeling of living in the closing of an epoch. The project of modernity, as Habermas has called it; has played itself out to the point where its essential logic is coming into relief. This accounts for the recent spate of publications on modernity in general, and cultural modernism in particular. Cultural modernism is stimulated further by the lack of a meaningful “adversary culture.” Indeed, today it is difficult to envision just what such a culture would look like. Nothing has emerged to fill the vacuum created by the decline of the New Left and the counter-culture — whatever their shortcomings.
Comparative chemistry of diffuse clouds V. Ammonia and formaldehyde

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Using the VLA and NRAO 140 ′ telescopes we observed the λ1.3 cm (1, 1) and (2, 2) lines of NH3 in absorption and emission toward the compact extragalactic continuum sources NRAO150 (B0355+508) and 3C 111 (B0415+379). These sources are occulted by some seven local diffuse and translucent clouds showing molecular absorption in OH, CO, HCO+ and C2H: for the four features having NH3 absorption, we find rotational excitation temperatures 18–24 K, suggesting kinetic temperatures of at least 25–30 K. The abundance ratio N(NH3)/N(HCO+) is comparable to values quoted for the cyanopolyne peak in TMC-1 (i.e., 2.5) in three of four cases where NH3 was seen. For clouds with higher column density N(HCO+)&gt; ∼ 1012 cm−2, the NH3 column density N(NH3) is well correlated only with N(CS) (〈N(NH3)/N(CS) 〉 ≈ 1.0) and N(H2CO) (〈N(NH3)/N(H2CO) 〉 ≈ 0.4). N(H2CO) is well correlated with N(NH3) and N(CS) (〈N(H2CO)/N(CS) 〉 ≈ 2.3) and the H2CO abundance relative to other species is like TMC-1, with (〈N(H2CO)/N(HCO+) 〉 ≈ 2.3). Key words. ISM: molecules 1.
