Abstract:

Research background: The evaluation of the predictive strength of MIP indicators in relation to crises is extremely important for the process of coordinating the economic policies of the EU countries. MIP is one of the pillars of the economic crisis prevention procedure. Predictive power of individual indicators has not been tested before their introduction. Purpose of the article: Evaluation of the predictive strength of fourteen MIP indicators in relation to multidimensional crises in the EU countries. Methods: We used ordered probit model to test the ability of MIP indicators to correctly predict episodes of “multidimensional crises” (as defined by the authors) in the period between 2008 and 2017 in all EU Member States. Findings & Value added: We defined “multidimensional crises”, combining several negative phenomena into one limited dependent variable. This work is also novel in its application of probit regression to test the predictive strength of MIP indicators with an ordered probit model. We identified five MIP variables which were statistically significant in predicting “multidimensional crises” for all EU countries: net international investment position, nominal unit labour cost index, house price index, private sector credit flow and general government gross debt. Other variables turned out to be less important or not effective in crises prediction.

Abstract:

Background/Aim. Gingival biotype can have a significant impact on the outcome of the periodontal therapeutic procedures and on the predictability of their aesthetic outcome. There is a strong correlation between the types of biotype and the potential gingival recession after restorative, periodontal and implant surgical procedures. Therefore, accurate identification of gingival biotypes, before initiating these procedures, is one of the significant predictive factors for their success. The aim of this study was to evaluate reliability of accurate gingival biotype determination with the use of visual method, periodontal and trans-gingival probing compared to the direct measurement method. Methods. This prospective study involved 33 patients indicated for the apical root resection in the intercanine sector of the upper jaw. Gingival biotype identification was performed in all of the patients using the following techniques: 1) visual method; 2) periodontal probe technique; 3) trans-gingival probing; 4) direct measurement after flap elevation was performed. Statistical analysis of the obtained data was performed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of the visual method, periodontal probing method and trans-gingival probing method, in relation to the direct measurement method, used as a gold standard, to discriminate the gingival thickness biotype (thin versus thick). Results. The overall accuracy of the tested diagnostic procedures, compared to direct gingival biotype measurement, was: 66.7% for visual method; 78.8% for periodontal probing; and 97.0% for trans-mucosal probing. Conclusion. Periodontal probing method can be recommended for gingival biotype determination as a routine method, due to the fact that its sensitivity and overall accuracy is higher compared to the visual method. The trans-gingival method, in terms of sensitivity and comprehensive accuracy, almost completely coincides with the direct method, but it is more invasive compared to periodontal probing method and it has to be conducted in local anesthesia.

Abstract:

Binary logit and bivariate probit models were used to investigate the investment behavior of farmers relative to two energy-conserving assets, heat-recovery systems and precoolers. The bivariate probit procedure was useful in correcting for self-selectivity bias. Holdout samples and cross-validation procedures were used to develop true model statistics. Farm size, educational level of the operator, and the type of milking system in use were the important factors influencing investment behavior.

Abstract:

Of twenty-three agricultural economics conjoint analyses conducted between 1990 and 2001, seventeen used interval-rating scales, with estimation procedures varying widely. This study tests cardinality assumptions in conjoint analysis when interval-rating scales are used, and tests whether the ordered probit or two-limit tobit model is the most valid. Results indicate that cardinality assumptions are invalid, but estimates of the underlying utility scale for the two models do not differ. Thus, while the ordered probit model is theoretically more appealing, the two-limit tobit model may be more useful in practice, especially in cases with limited degrees of freedom, such as with individual-level conjoint models.

Abstract:

Context. The initial periodontal examination which includes full-mouth periodontal probing is one of the discomforting procedures for a patient.Aim.To evaluate the efficacy of two local anesthetic gels in the reduction of pain during periodontal probing using Florida probe in CGP patients in comparison with manual probing.Materials and Methods. Ninety systemically healthy patients with moderate to severe CGP patients were recruited. In each patient, the quadrants were randomly assigned to manual probing with UNC-15 probe, probing with Florida probe, and Florida probing with lidocaine 10% gel and with benzocaine 20% gel. In the quadrants undergoing probing with anesthetic gels, the sites were isolated and the gel was injected using syringe and a blunt-end cannula. Pain was measured using 10 mm horizontal VAS.Statistical Analysis. The analysis was carried out using SPSS version 18. The comparison of mean VAS scores was done using repeated measures ANOVA with post hoc Bonferroni test.Results. Mean VAS for manual probing was significantly more than Florida probing. Further, the mean VAS score for Florida probing was higher than the two gels.Conclusion. It is suggested that the gels might be useful in reducing pain experienced during full-mouth periodontal probing in patients with CGP.

Abstract:

Introduction. Diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic periodontitis are common chronic diseases in adults. It is usually necessary to provide a sample of capillary blood to measure blood glucose level in diabetics. However, it is possible to obtain blood during periodontal probing without any discomfort. The aim of the study was to evaluate accessibility of chair side noninvasive screening method for blood glucose level in DM during routine periodontal examination. Material and Methods. 15 non diabetics and 15 newly onset type 2 diabetic patients with moderate to severe periodontitis were selected for the study after meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria. Periodontal pocket probing was performed using Williams Graduated periodontal probe. Blood oozing from gingival sulcus of anterior teeth following periodontal pocket probing was collected with a stick of glucose self monitoring device. As control, finger stick capillary blood was taken. Results. Statistically significant correlation was observed between the blood glucose level in gingival crevicular blood (GCB) and peripheral fasting blood (PFB) in diabetic subjects. The mean GCB glucose level in diabetic subjects was 172.27?5.02 mg/dL while mean PFB glucose level was 167.80?8.87 mg/dL. The correlation coefficients for diabetic and non diabetic subjects were r=0.715 and r=0.619, respectively. Conclusion The results suggested that blood oozing during routine periodontal examination may be used for DM screening in dental office without the need for any extra procedure.

Abstract:

Poisson and negative binomial regression procedures have proliferated, and now are available in virtually all statistical packages. Along with the regression procedures themselves are procedures for addressing issues related to the over-dispersion and excessive zeros commonly observed in count data. These approaches, zero-inflated Poisson and zero-inflated negative binomial models, use logit or probit models for the “excess” zeros and count regression models for the counted data. Although these models are often appropriate on statistical grounds, their interpretation may prove substantively difficult. This article explores this dilemma, using data from a study of individuals released from facilities maintained by the Massachusetts Department of Correction.

Abstract:

Two supervisory procedures for promoting the conduct of in vivo probes by six special education teacher aides were examined. The first procedure served as baseline and consisted of inservice training, self-regulated probing and data recording, and incidental modeling by the primary investigator. This procedure produced poor probing performance, reflecting inconsistency, low frequency, and differential sensitivity toward the three participating students. The second procedure consisted of the addition of delivering data cards to aides, thus prompting them to conduct daily probes. This additional component resulted in a 53% increase in the level of probing and was accompanied by less variability, higher sustained rates of probing, and more equitable probing of the students. Two types of reversal probes produced evidence that (a) the investigator's absence and (b) his presence without delivering cards occasioned low performance levels. Both conceptual (stimulus-control analysis) and applied (aides' preference for students) implications are discussed.

Abstract:

Closed-ended contingent valuation surveys are used to assess demands in hypothetical markets and recently have been applied widely to the valuation of (non-market) environmental resources. This interviewing strategy holds considerable promise for more general market research applications. The authors describe a new maximum likelihood estimation technique for use with these special data. Unlike previously used methods, the estimated models are as easy to interpret as ordinary least squares regression results and the results can be approximated accurately by packaged probit estimation routines.

Abstract:

Epiphora in infants is common, and there is no evidence that surgical interventions during the first year of life have any advantage over the natural history of spontaneous resolution in terms of cure rate. Probing at between 12 and 15 months of age has been shown to provide an earlier improvement than simple observation, but by two years of age there is no difference between those probed and those not probed. There are no good studies comparing the value of endoscopic probing versus the use of intubation and balloon dacryocystplasty either as primary or secondary procedures. External and endonasal dacrycystorhinostomies (DCRs) are both useful procedures, but they have not been directly compared in terms of the benefits of one versus the other.

Silicon-containing (Si-containing) polishing paste has been tested clinically in patients with chronic generalized periodontitis, I-st degree of severity. All patients have been examined for the presence of supra- and sub-gingival calculus and bleeding on probing on a six- month-testing time and within one year after conducting the professional hygienic procedures. It has been revealed that the proposed Si-containing polishing paste proved to be effective in the maintenance of gingival health in the lapse of time from 1 to 12 months after treatment. The majority of patients showed neither dental deposits nor bleeding on probing up in the interval from 1 to 12 months after dental scaling and polishing with Si-containing polishing paste.

Abstract:

Abstract This paper presents a comparison of different techniques to capture nominal data for its use in later verification and kinematic parameter identification procedures for articulated arm coordinate measuring machines (AACMM). By using four different probing systems (passive spherical probe, active spherical probe, self-centering passive probe and self-centering active probe) the accuracy and repeatability of captured points has been evaluated by comparing these points to nominal points materialized by a ball-bar gauge distributed in several positions of the measurement volume. Then, by comparing these systems it is possible to characterize the influence of the force over the final results for each of the gauge and probing system configurations. The results with each of the systems studied show the advantages and original accuracy obtained by active probes, and thus their suitability in verification (active probes) and kinematic parameter identification (self-centering active probes) procedures.

Abstract:

Purpose This prospective study was designed to establish whether it is more effective to treat symptomatic congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction by probing, or high-pressure irrigation, or both. Methods During the period February 1991 to January 1999, 228 infants (300 nasolacrimal ducts) were examined (132 males, 96 females, age range 12–13 months). These patients were divided into three groups of 100 ducts each. The first group was probed only; in the second group the nasolacrimal ducts were irrigated under high pressure using methylene blue-stained saline, and the third group was probed and irrigated in the same setting. The procedures were done under light general anesthesia. Results Ninety-one ducts in the first group improved after probing. In the second group 64 ducts improved after irrigation. In the third group 96 ducts improved after both probing and irrigation. Conclusions To treat symptomatic congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction, it is more effective to combine high-pressure irrigation and probing. This gives a better success rate, first in treatment and secondarily, permitting intraoperative verification of the patency of the excretory lacrimal system.

Abstract:

We compared the effectiveness of inhaled sevoflurane versus physical restraint during probing in children with congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO). We performed a retrospective review of children with CNLDO who underwent office probing procedures by a single surgeon under sedation or restraint. Patients’ characteristics at the time of probing, including age, sex, laterality, previous non-surgical treatment, presence of dacryocystitis, outcomes of probing, and complications were compared between the sedation and restraint groups. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate the prognostic factors associated with the success of probing. A subgroup analysis by 12 months of age was also conducted. The overall success rate was 88.6% in 202 eyes of 180 consecutive children (mean age, 15.1 ± 7.7 months). The sedation group had a marginally higher success rates than the restraint group (93.8% vs. 85.1%, p = 0.056). The success rate was not significantly different between the two groups in children aged <12 months (90.9% vs. 93.1%, p = 0.739), but it was significantly higher in the sedation group (94.7% vs. 77.8%. p = 0.006) in children aged ≥12 months. Inhalation sedation was the most potent factor associated with success (adjusted odds ratio = 5.56, 95% confidence interval = 1.33–23.13, p = 0.018) in children aged ≥12 months. There were no surgical or sedation-related complications intra- and postoperatively. Inhaled sevoflurane sedation resulted in more successful, controlled, painless probing, particularly in children aged ≥12 months. It represents a safe, efficient alternative to general anesthesia.

Abstract:

In this paper, the author focuses on the legal solutions in Serbian succession law pertaining to a previous issue that may arise in the course of probate proceedings. The research has been conducted with the aim of providing reasoned answers to the following questions: When is there a dispute on the application of law, and when is there a dispute on facts (factual issues significantly affecting the right to inherit)? How should the legal standard of "the less probable right" be understood? What are the characteristics of probate proceedings that prevent the dispute resolution of the same quality as in civil (litigation) or administrative proceedings? Why is the dispute resolution on decisive facts assigned to another (civil) court or administrative body if the authority in charge of conducting the probate proceedings has resolved very complex previous issues beforehand? Will the civil court judge or the notary public conducting the probate proceedings be competent enough to resolve the dispute in a specific case, bearing in mind their professional qualification and authorities, particularly those of notaries public. The analysis in this paper is based on the dogmatic (legal science) method, legal history method, normative law method, and comparative law method. For the purpose of attaining a higher level of legal certainty and a more consistent observance of the principles of procedural economy and efficiency in establishing the succession law effects of one's death, the author proposes adequate changes and amendments to the non-litigious procedure rules.

Abstract:

This case focuses on the use of financial statement analysis in the detection of earnings manipulation. Specifically, it draws on advances in the accounting research literature and provides a way of integrating this knowledge into an auditing or master's level accounting/financial statement analysis course. Students are required to assess the probability that a set of financial statements contain fraud by analyzing excerpts from the company's financial and proxy statements, and applying the Beneish (1997) probit model for detecting earnings manipulation. Students are also encouraged to utilize the Compustat database to compare the company's financial data to a peer group of firms in the industry. The appendix provides a discussion of academic research relevant to the analysis, including a description of simple analytical procedures, a listing of important qualitative risk factors to consider in assessing the likelihood of fraud (in part from Statement on Auditing Standards No. 82), and an in-depth description of the Beneish (1997) probit model. A spreadsheet is made accessible via the Internet for easy application of the model to the company in this case and to other companies.

Abstract:

Purpose: To describe a method for dealing with balloon rupture during stent deployment. Technique: A 10-mL Luer-Lock syringe containing contrast material and heparinized saline is used to re-expand a balloon ruptured during stent deployment, permitting maximum balloon expansion and successful initial stent-wall apposition. No adjunctive use of probing catheters or a power injector is necessary to achieve adequate stent expansion. Analysis of the rupture may identify procedural deficiencies that can be rectified. Conclusions: This technique is simple and timesaving, and interventionists should maintain vigilance when handling of balloon-expandable stents.

Abstract:

Citral is well known for its antimicrobial, antifungal, and insecticidal activities. Natural sesquiterpene α-methylenelactones also exhibit a broad spectrum of biological activities. The aim of the study was to explore the effect of structural changes to citral molecules on citral behavior-modifying activity towards Myzus persicae. Specifically, the effects of the introduction of a γ-lactone moiety and methylene groups in α and γ positions of the lactone ring were investigated. The lactones were obtained in five-step (saturated lactone and γ-methylenelactone) or six-step (α-methylenelactone and α,γ-dimethylenelactone) syntheses from citral. The synthetic procedures and physical and spectral data of the lactones are presented. The settling behavior of freely moving aphids in choice and no-choice situations was monitored. The probing behavior of tethered M. persicae using the Electrical Penetration Graph (EPG) technique was also analyzed. Citral appeared a strong repellent and pre-ingestive and ingestive probing deterrent to M. persicae. The incorporation of a lactone moiety caused the loss of the repellent activity. α-Methylenelactone inhibited aphid settling and probing activities at pre-ingestive and ingestive phases. The saturated γ-lactone and α,γ-dimethylenelactone were the settling post-ingestive deterrents to M. persicae, which did not affect aphid probing activity. γ-Methylenelactone did not affect aphid behavior.

Abstract:

The development of testamentary jurisdiction by the English Church authorities has already received considerable attention, and it is generally held that by the close of the thirteenth century the basic probate procedures had been well established, even if some administrative practices continued to be refined. This paper aims to look at the practical evidence of the York archiepiscopal records from the thirteenth century to the Reformation from an archival and administrative viewpoint - the concern is not so much with the canon law touching wills and testaments, or with the testamentary disputes and litigation in the archiepiscopal court, the Curia Eboracensis, or indeed with the contents of the wills proved before the ecclesiastical authorities, but with the routine practicalities of the exercise of probate and intestacy administrations.

Abstract:

Multivariate multilevel models for ordinal variables are quite complex with respect to both interpretation and estimation. The specification in terms of a multivariate latent distribution and a set of thresholds helps in the interpretation of the variance-covariance parameters. However, most existing estimation algorithms for multilevel models can be used only if the model is reparameterized as a univariate model with an additional dummy bottom level. Moreover, the univariate formulation allows the model to be cast in the framework of Generalized Linear Latent and Mixed Models ( Rabe-Hesketh, Pickles, & Skrondal, 2001a ), a rather general class that includes, as special cases, structural equations and factor models. This article outlines the multivariate latent distribution specification and the corresponding interpretation issues; it then shows the univariate formulation, along with some alternative parameterizations that are useful in the estimation phase. An application to student ratings data illustrates the interpretation of the parameters and the estimation procedures, with a discussion of some computational issues.

Full text

Abstract:

Objectives: To compare the efficacy of three mechanical procedures for surgically treating peri-implantitis. Materials and Methods: In a randomized, prospective, parallel-group study, 47 patients with peri-implantitis were treated with (a) plastic curettes (n = 15 patients, 25 implants), (b) an air-abrasive device (Perio-Flow®, n = 16 patients,22 implants), or (c) a titanium brush (Ti-Brush®, n = 16 patients, 23 implants). Patients were assessed for the following measures at three timepoints (baseline, and three and six months after surgery): plaque index, bleeding on probing, gingival index, probing pocket depth (PPD), relative attachment level, and bone loss. Treatment outcome was considered successful when the implant was still present with PPD ≤ 5 mm, no bleeding on probing, and no further mean bone loss ≥ 0.5 mm. Results: A greater reduction of gingival index and PPD was observed in the titanium brush group than in the other groups at six months (P < 0.001). Relative attachment level decreased from baseline in each group at three months but was more marked in the titanium brush group (P < 0.001). At six months, there was less bone loss in the titanium brush group than in the plastic curette group (P < 0.001; linear mixed model and Kruskal–Wallis). A successful outcome was observed in 22% of implants in the plastic curette group, 27% in the Perio-Flow® group, and 33% in the Ti-Brush® group. Conclusions: The titanium brush and glycine air-polishing device were more effective than the other methods, but treatment success remained low. Combining mechanical procedures with antimicrobials and/or antibiotics might be a more effective strategy and warrants careful investigation.

Abstract:

PurposeTo report the outcome of a step-by-step treatment approach for congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNDO).MethodsThree-hundred and fifty eyes with CNDO were included in the study. A number of treatment methods were applied systematically until a successful outcome was achieved. Listed in order from simple to more complex, the following methods were used: conservative management (massage and topical antibiotics), high-pressure syringing, probing, and silicone intubation. Treatment efficacy was determined according to age (Group 1: 0–6 months, Group 2: 7–12 months, Group 3: 13–24 months, Group 4: 25–72 months) and success rates were compared.ResultsConservative management was applied only in children less than 1 year of age, and was successful in 91.8% of Group 1 and 60% of Group 2 eyes. The difference between these two success rates was significant (p = 0.003). High-pressure syringing was performed in children under 24 months of age, with success rates of 41.7% in Group 1, 33.3% in Group 2, and 12.5% in Group 3. The overall success rate for first probing in all groups was 76.1%, with a range of 69.4% to 80.9%. After second probing, the overall cure rate for the entire cohort was 88.0%, with a range of 74.9% to 94.8%. There was no real difference in probing cure rates relative to age (p > 0.05). Silicone intubation was indicated and performed in two eyes of Group 2 children, three eyes of Group 3, and nine eyes of Group 4. Two ducts in Group 4 eyes remained obstructed after silicone intubation.ConclusionsThe systematic treatment approach to CNDO, including conservative management and minimally invasive procedures such as high-pressure syringing, probing, and silicone intubation, is highly successful. In this study, the cure rate for this combined approach was 100% in youngsters under 2 years of age and 94.5% in children 2 to 6 years old.

Abstract:

Theories that posit complex causation, or multiple causal paths, pervade the study of politics but have yet to find accurate statistical expression. To remedy this situation I derive new econometric procedures, Boolean probit and logit, based on the logic of complexity. The solution provides an answer to a puzzle in the rational deterrence literature: the divergence between theory and case-study findings, on the one hand, and the findings of quantitative studies, on the other, on the issue of the role of capabilities and willingness in the initiation of disputes. It also makes the case that different methodological traditions, rather than settling into “separate but equal” status, can instead inform and enrich one another.

This paper provides some of the underlying mathematical derivations for the one-hit, multihit, multistage, Weibull, and pharmacokinetic risk models. Our purposes are to remove for the nonmathematician some of the mystery as to the derivation of the formulas for each particular risk model and to discuss some of the assumptions contained in the risk models. Confidence limits and maximum likelihood estimates of the model parameters are not discussed, since they are not pertinent to our objectives. Rai and Van Ryzin(1) have outlined these procedures in sufficient detail.

Abstract:

Harsh wafer probing and harsh wire bonding have been used in previous work by our group to study cracking and ripple effect on various bond pad designs in technologies having aluminum (Al) alloy based metallization in SiO2 dielectric. One outcome of the previous experimentation is the confirmation that cracks due to wafer probe may not be visible even in a careful cratering test. Probing stress can bend the top SiO2 of the pad downwards, causing high tensile stress to the underside of the film. Cracks initiating in this region easily go undetected in routine monitor procedures, unless they propagate to the top surface and break the barrier film above. Latent probing cracks can result in reliability issues for circuit under pad (CUP) bond pad designs. A typical probe crack in a CUP pad's top SiO2 layer, detected in a cratering test, may actually be accompanied by one or more hidden cracks at the bottom of the film, which may only be detected in a focused ion beam (FIB) cross section. This study uses harsh probing to create cracks in various bond pad test structures and then follows them through the wirebond process, including harsh bonding experiments. Previously undetected probe cracks may be enhanced, lengthened, and made easier to detect in wirebond monitoring and in a cratering test after wirebond. Cracks due to wirebond have different characteristics than probe cracks. Distinguishing features of both crack types are compared after bonding. Monitoring of the ripple effect in both probe and bond helps to predict and track bond pad cracking tendencies. Methods to reduce cracking from both probe and bond are reviewed.

Abstract:

Epiphora due to Nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO) is common in chidren. About 5% to 20% infants show evidence of congenital Nasolacrimal duct obstruction with symptoms 1,2. Most of them (95%) cured by conservative management. Majority of the remaining symptomatic patients are cured by probing, repeat probing, probing with incubation and Baloonplasty procedures. About 4% of the patients need surgical intervention. Conventional Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is the main treatment of choice in these cases till to date. DCR means creation of an alternate pathway between lacrimal sac and nasal cavity to drain tear when nasolacrimal duct (NLD) is blocked. There are different surgical techniques available for DCR. These includes conventional or external DCR, endoscopic DCR, endoscopic Laser DCR, transcanalicular or endocanalicular Laser DCR. In adult DCR can be carried out comfortably by the conventional or newly developed endoscopic approach. Narrow space, inadequate development of anatomical landmark makes both the conventional & endoscopic DCR difficult in children. Long term success rate of External DCR in pediatric patients is less in comparison to adult due to vigorous growth of tissue in a child. Laser DCR has been tried but long term success rate is not up to the mark. Several observations like- primary osteum closure, cicatrix formation with middle turbinate and nasal septum, granulation tissue formation- all are more in children due to marked fibroblastic response. So Laser DCR is a challenge in pediatric patients.

Abstract:

The Gaussian map and its allied visibility map on a unit sphere find wide applications for orientating the workpiece for machining by numerical control machines and for probing by coordinate measurement machines. They also provide useful aids in computerized scene analysis, computation of surface-surface intersection, component design for manufacturing and fabrication procedures. Spherical convex hulls and spherical circles are two geometric constructs used to approximate the Gaussian maps and the visibility maps. The duality and the complementarity of these spherical maps are examined so as to derive efficient algorithms.
