This chapter provides a brief overview of real-estate prices, describing the importance of this asset class for the economies worldwide, from the US and the UK to Asian and Pacific countries. The difference between residential and commercial real-estate is emphasized early on in this introductory chapter. The chapter ends with some discussion of empirical characteristics of real-estate prices time series through some models, highlighting the different nature of this asset class as compared with other established financial asset classes such as equity, foreign exchange, or fixed income.

We examine the wages of graduates inside and outside of academe in both the UK and US. We find that in both the UK and the US an average graduate working in the HE sector would earn less over his or her lifetime than graduates working in non-academic sectors. The largest disparity occurs throughout the earlier and middle career period and so if people discount their future earnings, the difference will be even greater than these figures suggest. Academics in the UK earn less than academics in the US at all ages. This difference cannot be explained by differences in observable characteristics such as age, gender or ethnicity. This leads us to conclude that the differences in UK and US academic wages are unlikely to be due to differences in the academics themselves, but rather to differences in labour markets generally and in systems of higher education between the two countries, which suggests that there is a strong pay incentive for academics to migrate from the UK to the US.

Introduction: The Predicting Out-of-Office Blood Pressure in the Clinic (PROOF-BP) algorithm accurately estimates out-of-office BP to guide ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) among adults in the UK and Canada with suspected high BP. We tested the validity of PROOF-BP in a diverse US population and developed a US-specific algorithm. Methods: We pooled data from four US studies (CARDIA, JHS, Masked Hypertension Study, and Improving Detection of Hypertension Study) that assessed both office BP and 24-hour ABPM. We included participants with >=2 office and >=10 daytime ambulatory BP readings. PROOF-BP estimates the difference between office systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) and daytime ambulatory SBP and DBP using clinic BP measurements and patient characteristics. We examined the performance of PROOF-BP in US data and then used multivariable linear regression to develop a new algorithm optimized for the US population. We tested the ability of PROOF-BP to discriminate high awake ambulatory SBP and DBP (SBP/DBP >=130/80 mm Hg) using the area under the receiver-operator curve (AUROC). Models were developed in a 70% randomly selected derivation set and tested in a 30% validation set. The optimal predicted ambulatory BP thresholds were defined as those that resulted in the smallest proportion of individuals recommended for ABPM with an overall classification error <20% among those not screened. Results: We analyzed 3,080 individuals with a mean (SD) age of 52.0 (11.9) years, 38% were male, and 54% were black. Mean (SD) office SBP/DBP was 121.8 (16.6)/75.3 (9.8) mm Hg, mean (SD) awake ambulatory SBP/DBP was 127.3 (13.5)/78.6 (8.8) mm Hg, and 51% had awake ABPM >=130/80 mm Hg. The discrimination for high awake ABPM was similar between the existing (AUROC SBP = 0.77, DBP = 0.73) and US-specific models (AUROC SBP = 0.77, DBP = 0.72). Optimal predicted ambulatory BP thresholds with the US-specific algorithm were 125-134/75-84 mm Hg, resulting in 55% of the pooled cohort recommended for ABPM; compared to 66% recommended by the 2017 ACC/AHA guidelines. Conclusions: Both the original and US-specific PROOF-BP algorithms predicted high out-of-office BP among US adults. PROOF-BP may be used to guide clinical decisions and resource allocation among individuals considered for ABPM.

The United States media have given rather little attention to the question of the Scottish referendum despite important economic, political and military links between the US and the UK/Scotland. For some in the US a ‘no’ vote would be greeted with relief given these ties: for others, a ‘yes’ vote would be acclaimed as an underdog escaping England's imperium, a narrative clearly echoing America's own founding story. This article explores commentary in the US press and media as well as reporting evidence from on-going interviews with the Scottish diaspora in the US. It concludes that there is as complex a picture of the 2014 referendum in the United States as there is in Scotland.

Introduction. The paper presents survey results on the awareness towards and practice of Open Access scholarly publishing among Russian academics.Materials and Methods. We employed methods of statistical analysis of survey results. Materials comprise results of data processing of Russian survey conducted in 2018 and published results of the latest international surveys. The survey comprised 1383 respondents from 182 organizations. We performed comparative studies of the responses from academics and research institutions as well as different research areas. The study compares results obtained in Russia with the recently published results of surveys conducted in the United Kingdom and Europe.Results. Our findings show that 95% of Russian respondents support open access, 94% agree to post their publications in open repositories and 75% have experience in open access publishing. We did not find any difference in the awareness and attitude towards open access among seven reference groups. Our analysis revealed the difference in the structure of open access publications of the authors from universities and research institutes. Discussion andConclusions. Results reveal a high level of awareness and support to open access and succeful practice in the open access publications in the Russian scholarly community. The results for Russia demonstrate close similarity with the results of the UK academics. The governmental open access policies and programs would foster the practical realization of the open access in Russia.
