Abstract:

Monetary risk measures are interpreted as the smallest amount of external cash that must be added to a financial position to make the position acceptable. In this paper, A new concept: non-cash risk measure is proposed and this measure provides an approach to transform the unacceptable positions into the acceptable positions in a nonconvex set. Non-cash risk measure uses not only cash but also other kinds of assets to adjust the position. This risk measure is nonconvex due to the use of optimization problem in L 1 norm. A convex extension of the nonconvex risk measure is derived and the relationship between the convex extension and the non-cash risk measure is detailed.

Abstract:

This paper draws upon current research to consider the value of the focus group method for exploring the relationships between youth, risk and social position. Groups comprising young people occupying similar social positions were used to generate talk about aspects of everyday life regarded as risk. Through the processes of conversational interaction facilitated by the focus group method, participants co-produced detailed risk narratives, understood here in Bourdieu's terms as product and producer of the habitus related to social position. Using data from several of the focus groups I illustrate how the method was especially useful in generating narratives indicative of how risks were experienced and understood in different ways according to social positions of class, gender and ethnicity. Such risk narratives also reproduced distinctions between and within different social positions. Consideration is given to certain limitations of the focus group method in respect of this research. Ultimately, however, the ability of the method to generate collaborative narratives reflective of shared social position is viewed as an invaluable means for developing a rich and nuanced account of the relations between youth and risk.

Abstract:

ObjectiveTo investigate whether a child’s genotype affects a mother’s risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) beyond the risk associated with her genotype and to test whether exposure to fetal alleles inherited from the father increases risk of RA among mothers without risk alleles.MethodsA case–control study was conducted among 1165 mothers (170 cases/995 controls) and their respective 1482 children. We tested the association between having any child with alleles encoding amino acids (AAs) associated with RA including the ‘shared epitope’ (SE) and DERAA AA sequences at positions 70–74; AA valine, lysine and alanine at positions 11, 71 and 74 of HLA-DRB1; aspartic acid at position 9 of HLA-B and phenylalanine at position 9 of DPB1. We used logistic regression models to estimate OR and 95% CI for each group of alleles, adjusting for maternal genotype and number of live births.ResultsWe found increased risk of RA among mothers who had any child with SE (OR 3.0; 95% CI 2.0 to 4.6); DERAA (OR 1.7; 95% CI 1.1 to 2.6); or valine (OR 2.3; 95% CI 1.6 to 3.5), lysine (OR 2.3; 95% CI 1.5 to 3.4) and alanine (OR 2.8; 95% CI 1.2 to 6.4) at DRB1 positions 11, 71 and 74, respectively. Among non-carrier mothers, increased risk of RA was associated with having children who carried DERAA (OR 1.7; 95% CI 1.0 to 2.7) and alleles encoding lysine at DRB1 position 71 (OR 2.3; 95% CI 1.5 to 4.8).ConclusionFindings support the hypothesis that a child’s genotype can contribute independently to risk of RA among mothers.

Full text

Abstract:

The evolution of wireless communications systems has promoted various applications that require user positions in various environments including indoor, maritime and aerial environments. This progress has also brought advanced wireless location tracking (i.e., positioning) schemes for many purposes such as military, accident prevention and facility management. In this paper, we propose a risk-aware wireless positioning scheme, where the position information is required for safety. Especially for the maritime environment, we model the risk of the user at each position as a function of location accuracy, geometry, ocean current speed and so forth. Considering the power budget of each user, we optimize the user’s wireless positioning signal frequency (i.e., the positioning signal broadcasting rate) at each position so that our positioning scheme can minimize the average risk for each user.

Abstract:

SummaryAim: The purpose was to assess ergonomic risk level in dentistry, which may contribute to manifestation of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD). Methods and Materials: The study included ten dentists, postgraduate students, mean age (33 ± 3.4). Participants were asked to perform typical dental examination in standing and sitting positions. The surface electromyography (EMG) was recorded during dental work from both left and right shoulder muscles: descendent trapezius muscle (T); back muscles: erector spinae muscle (ES); and neck muscles: sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM) and splenius capitis muscle (SC). Results: High muscles forces, greater than 21% of the maximal voluntary contraction (MVC), which could be indicative of high risk, particularly occurred in muscles SC on both sides of the body in the sitting position. The medium risk level occurred in the same muscles on both sides in standing position. Left and right T muscles were under medium ergonomic risk level in both, sitting and standing working positions. SCM muscles on the left and right side of the body in both working positions were under low risk level, lower than 10% of the MVC. In sitting position, medium risk level occurred in ES muscles on both body sides, while in standing position the risk was low. Conclusion: Dentists are exposed to ergonomic risk. By combining both sitting and standing position the risk can be reduced.

Abstract:

Objective.To investigate the association of specific amino acid positions, residues, and haplotypes of HLA-DRB1 in black South Africans with autoantibody-positive rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods.High-resolutionHLA-DRB1genotyping was performed in 266 black South Africans with autoantibody-positive RA and 362 ethnically and geographically matched controls. The alleles were converted to specific amino acid residues at polymorphic sites for downstream analyses. Logistic regression models were used to test whether variability at site, specific amino acid residues, and haplotypes (constructed from positions 11, 71, and 74) were associated with RA.Results.Of the 29 amino acid positions examined, positions 11, 13, and 33 (permutation p = 3.4e-26, 1.2e-27, and 2.1e-28, respectively) showed the strongest association with RA. Univariate analyses of individual amino acid residues showed valine at position 11 (OR 5.1, 95% CI 3.7–7.0) and histidine at position 13 (OR 6.1, 95% CI 4.2–8.6) conferred the highest risk. The valine containing haplotypes of position 11, 71, 74, V_K_A conferred the most risk (OR 4.52, 95% CI 2.68–7.61) and conversely the haplotype with serine at this position, S_K_R, conferred the most protection (OR 0.83, 95% CI 0.61–1.15).Conclusion.Autoantibody-positive RA in black South Africans is associated with histidine at position 13 and valine at position 11 of HLA-DRB1, and haplotypes with valine at position 11 conferred the highest risk; conversely, serine at position 11 conveyed protection.

Abstract:

As recently as 20 years ago, the International Labor Organization has drawn the attention to the nurses’ working conditions, nursing and health. Nursing is one of the professions, mostly exposed to the risk of experiencing back injuries. One of the main precautions to prevent nurses' back injuries is the use of technical aids and the work environment provision with ergonomic means. There must be a lot and diverse devices in the workplace available for nurses to protect them from injuries [1]. The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work identifies several groups of risk factors that affect the health of nurses. They are work-related risks (monotonous movements, use of physical force, an uncomfortable body position), patient-related risks (a heavy patient, immobility, etc.), environment-related risks (slippery work surfaces, limited area, etc.), and other risks (lack of knowledge, inappropriate clothing and footwear, etc.) [2]. The aim of the research was to analyze the injuries experienced by nurses in changing the situation of patients. A quantitative survey was conducted, providing the questionnaires; its participants were nurses, working in Utena City health care institutions. The nurses usually experience various types of sprains of back, lumbar and shoulder girdle muscles. Injuries, suffered by nurses, are related to the lack of additional facilitators and knowledge on how to lift a patient in a correct manner.

Abstract:

In this study we examine the volatility-adjusted 60/40 rule at the individual company level. We document that strong diversification benefits exist over the long-term, and that both the equity and corporate bonds exhibit positive expected drifts. For our sample of 30 large-cap companies, given that corporate bond positions have shown less volatility than the equity position, we leveraged the resultant portfolio of 60/40 to match that of the equity position. When we compare the two investments, we document an outperformance of 100 to 200 bps per year, even after we account for the leverage costs of 100 bps. We believe our work will open up a new risk investing paradigm for those seeking long-term advantages.

Abstract:

Complexity has been widely researched in the science literature, nowadays also in the management literature. Complexity and the way to deal with its increasing in the company itself and its environment has become a key competitive factor. But complexity generate also risks. Identified risks arising from complexity and managing that risk within acceptable levels is one challenge for business leaders. Some researchers suggest that the complexity can be managed. However, the literature is still paid little attention to this phenomenon. The main my research questions were: what is the place of complexity concept in the management sciences and what is complexity in risk management context. With this paper, author aim to contribute to the literature of management complexity. This paper contains the results of study that were made in the scale and the leading areas of research on the complexity and risk management of a state of the art in academic studies.

Abstract:

Background: Sexual difficulties and dysfunction are common in patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) secondary to hip pain and stiffness. Purpose: To determine the risk of impingement in patients with FAIS during common sexual positions using 3-dimensional computer-simulated collision detection before and after cam correction. Study Design: Descriptive laboratory study. Methods: Ten computed tomography scans of the pelvis and femur from patients with FAIS due to isolated cam morphology were retrospectively reviewed. Three-dimensional osseous models were developed using Mimics software. The cam deformity was then completely corrected. Simulations of hip range of motion for the most common sexual positions for men (n = 15) and women (n = 14) were conducted before and after cam resection. Impingement was determined for each sexual position. Position safety was defined as ≤20% of models demonstrating impingement in a position. Descriptive and simple comparative statistics were calculated. Results: There was no sexual position that was impingement free in all models before cam correction. After cam correction, 11 (37.9%) of 29 total positions were impingement free. There was a significant decrease in impingement from before to after cam correction (40.7% vs 11.4%, respectively, of all female positions [ P < .0001]; 26.0% vs 6.7%, respectively, of all male positions [ P < .0001]). There was a significant increase in the number of “safe” positions from before to after cam correction (4 vs 11, respectively, of all female positions [ P = .008]; 7 vs 15, respectively, of all male positions [ P = .001]). Conclusion: After cam correction, there was a significant reduction in the impingement rate and a significant increase in the number of “safe” sexual positions. Clinical Relevance: Impingement in patients with cam morphology is common during sexual activity. Surgical correction of cam morphology significantly reduces the rate of impingement. Although this laboratory imaging-only study did not account for patient symptoms, this likely translates to significant symptomatic improvement during sexual activity after surgical cam correction.

Abstract:

Background Increased valgus loading at the knee has been previously identified as a possible risk factor for noncontact anterior cruciate ligament injuries, which are common in sports. Arm position variation may affect risk of injury by altering valgus knee loading. Hypothesis Sport-dependent variations in arm position increase valgus loading of the knee during run-to-cut maneuvers. Study Design Controlled laboratory study. Methods Eleven subjects performed a sidestep cutting maneuver, first with no arm constraints and then with 3 sports-related arm positions in random order (holding a lacrosse stick, holding a football on the plant side, and holding a football on the cut side). The analysis focused on the knee valgus moment relative to the arm positions during the landing phase of the activity. Results Arm position significantly influenced the valgus moment with an increase in the lacrosse trials and in the plant-side football trials but not in the cut-side football trials (α =. 05). Conclusions Constraining the plant-side arm results in increased valgus loading at the knee during run-to-cut maneuvers, which suggests the possibility of greater risk of anterior cruciate ligament injury during these conditions. Clinical Relevance These results suggest that training methods that consider arm position as a risk factor could help reduce the risk of anterior cruciate ligament noncontact injury.

Abstract:

One enduring question about terrorism is why individuals choose to join terrorist groups. Past studies have shown that terrorists are not always poor, and they can in fact come from more privileged groups in society. Risk sensitivity and prospect theory are approaches that can help explain some of the anomalies. They suggest that two types of group are likely to supply members for terrorist organizations in disproportionate numbers. One group consists of those who face a loss of status or position due to ongoing changes in society. A second group consists of those who have an opportunity to gain a major advance in status or position. Both groups are thus more likely or more willing to take risks such as joining dissident terrorists – either to maintain their position or to improve it. An analysis of the situation of Palestinian nationalists, nationalists in Northern Ireland and the Tamils in Sri Lanka provides support for the idea that sensitivity to risk can be an important factor in explaining the willingness of individuals to join terrorist groups.

Abstract:

The fetal occiput posterior position poses challenges in every aspect of intrapartum care-prevention, diagnosis, correction, supportive care, labor management, and delivery. Maternal and newborn outcomes are often worse and both physical and psychological traumas are more common than with fetal occiput anterior positions. The purpose of this paper is to describe prevailing concepts that guide labor and birth management with an occiput posterior fetus, and summarize evidence to clarify the state of the science. To identify maternal and fetal risk factors associated with persistent occiput posterior position at delivery, and to examine the association of occiput posterior position with subsequent obstetric outcomes.

Abstract:

If candidates are uncertain about the policy position preferred by the median voter and therefore face the risk of stating an unpopular position, in equilibrium both candidates may prefer to make their positions ambiguous rather than to specify them. The incentives to be ambiguous are further increased if the position announced by one candidate allows the other candidate to estimate the preferences of the voters better.

the China rebar futures contract position substantially transfer cross period, and basis is often larger and has large volatility, It has great effect on the hedging, and result in larger basis risk. This paper uses data from futures and spot market, on the positions and the basis for empirical analysis, and explores the regular pattern of changes in the position and basis. On this basis, it analyzes the traditional hedging risk with simulation, and estimates the optimal hedge ratios.

Abstract:

AbstractThis study examined the relationship between debt position and choice of marketing instrument. Specifically, this study employed first and second degree stochastic dominance, and stochastic dominance with respect to a function to determine whether the efficient marketing instrument changes between debt positions. The results indicate that the choice of marketing instrument does vary with debt position in some marketing periods if the decisionmaker is moderately risk averse.

Abstract:

AbstractNeurosurgery in the sitting position is used for resection of tumors located in the cerebellopontine angle, pineal region, other technically difficult tumors in the infratentorial region, as well as surgeries of the cervical spine. Since its inception, the use of this particular position has been contentious due its risk-benefit analysis. With improved microsurgical equipment and surgical and anesthetic techniques, as well as advanced monitoring techniques to assure patient safety, many centers are revisiting the sitting position for its potential benefits.

Abstract:

It is no secret today that gender development and the empowerment of women are important aspects for women in decision-making, as well as for their presence in leadership positions. Unfortunately, no country in the world has yet managed to achieve full equality between the sexes. Iceland came closest to this, closing 88% of the gender gap. At the present stage a woman's task is to achieve success in work, career growth, material independence, and only then the status of a wife and mother. Thus, there is a so-called reassessment of values, which in turn leads to a rethinking of the meaning of the family and marital relations in the life of the weaker sex. Women around the world are more at risk of poverty than men and, on average, are less protected and also receive lower wages. The study of this topic is important in the world.

Abstract:

Poor sleep quality is a risk factor for multiple mental, cardiovascular, and cerebrovascular diseases. Certain sleep positions or excessive position changes can be related to some diseases and poor sleep quality. Nevertheless, sleep position is usually classified into four discrete values: supine, prone, left and right. An increase in sleep position resolution is necessary to better assess sleep position dynamics and to interpret more accurately intermediate sleep positions. This research aims to study the feasibility of smartphones as sleep position monitors by (1) developing algorithms to retrieve the sleep position angle from smartphone accelerometry; (2) monitoring the sleep position angle in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA); (3) comparing the discretized sleep angle versus the four classic sleep positions obtained by the video-validated polysomnography (PSG); and (4) analyzing the presence of positional OSA (pOSA) related to its sleep angle of occurrence. Results from 19 OSA patients reveal that a higher resolution sleep position would help to better diagnose and treat patients with position-dependent diseases such as pOSA. They also show that smartphones are promising mHealth tools for enhanced position monitoring at hospitals and home, as they can provide sleep position with higher resolution than the gold-standard video-validated PSG.

Abstract:

Two clearly defined positions on the evaluation of technological risks have emerged in the scholarly literature in a variety of disciplines: a `rationalist' perspective and a `subjectivist' perspective. This paper argues from a subjectivist position that differences between scientific and lay responses to risk information (as presented in media accounts) are not necessarily generally attributable to `misinterpretations' by nonscientific readers, and that the process through which lay publics interpret mass media accounts of risk is worthy of more study. Data are presented from twenty focus group discussions, involving 114 student respondents, of a range of print media articles about risky technologies. The results suggest that lay publics work with an `expanded vocabulary of risk' that takes into account a variety of issues having to do with information, implementation, regulation, and ethical considerations, as well as the cost and benefit factors traditionally weighed by risk assessors. The scientific community needs to recognize that the public expects this kind of broader accountability, and media accounts need to be written to respond to needs in these areas.
