ZusammenfassungKnochenumbauparameter können zusätzliche Informationen zur Abschätzung der Dynamik des Knochenstoffwechsels in der Osteoporosediagnostik nebst Knochendichte, den klinischen Daten und Routine-Laborparametern liefern. Zu den Aufbaumarkern des Knochenstoffwechsels zählen Prokollagen Typ 1 N-terminales Propeptid (P1NP), die knochenspezifische alkalische Phosphatase (bALP) und Osteokalzin (OC), zu den Abbaumarkern des Knochenstoffwechsels gehören Pyridinolin (PYD) und Desoxypyridinolin (DPD), N-terminales Kollagen-Typ-I-Telopeptid (NTX) und C-terminales Kollagen-Typ-ITelopeptid (CTX), β-CrossLaps (β-CTX), die Tartrat-resistent saure Phosphatase (TRAP5b) sowie Cathepsin K. Das Einsatzgebiet liegt vor allem in der Verlaufsbeurteilung nach Einleitung einer Osteoporosetherapie und im Compliance-Monitoring. Knochenumbaumarker stellen jedoch derzeit keine alleinige Entscheidungsgrundlage zur Initiierung einer Therapie dar. In der Hämatoonkologie scheinen hohe Knochenabbaumarker mit einem höheren Rezidivrisiko bzw. einem höheren Risiko für skelettassoziierte Ereignisse verbunden zu sein.

Evaluation Protocol

This paper analyzes the varied performance of Matrix Factorization (MF) on the related tasks of relation extraction and knowledge-base completion, which have been unified recently into a single framework of knowledge-base inference (KBI) [Toutanova et al., 2015]. We first propose a new evaluation protocol that makes comparisons between MF and Tensor Factorization (TF) models fair. We find that this results in a steep drop in MF performance. Our analysis attributes this to the high out-of-vocabulary (OOV) rate of entity pairs in test folds of commonly-used datasets. To alleviate this issue, we propose three extensions to MF. Our best model is a TF-augmented MF model. This hybrid model is robust and obtains strong results across various KBI datasets.

The purpose of this study is to quantify the existing interrelationship between the anesthetic substances used in the implanto-prosthetic rehabilitation procedures with the general state of the patient, as well as the specific implant rehabilitation work.The analyzed lot brought together 110 patients, candidates for implanto-prosthetic rehabilitation, subjected to a general and local evaluation protocol for choosing general anesthesia in accordance with the general state and complexity of the implanto-prosthetic algorithm. Regarding connection between therapeutic approaches in oral implantation and types of anesthesia , we obtained correlative aspects between the use of inhalosedation and implantation algorithm in 80% clinical cases and augmentation with implantation was found in 20%.General anesthesia with Midazolam has been correlated with implantation and augmentation in 77% clinical cases and sinus lift and implantation was found in 23% clinical cases.General anesthesia with Midazolam was used in 64% clinical cases with implantation and sinus lift and 36% clinical cases with implantation.Careful monitoring of the patient and proper dental surgery where the intervention is performed are the key for a therapeutic success regarding sedation and anesthesia.

Moderating Role

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the moderating role of financial consumer protection (FCP) in the access–development nexus. Design/methodology/approach The study is based on cross-country data on 102 countries surveyed in the World Bank Global Survey on FCP and Financial Literacy (2013). The White heteroscedasticity adjusted regressions and Two-stage least squares regressions (2SLS) are used for the estimation. Findings Interactions between FCP regulations that foster fair treatment, disclosure, dispute resolution and recourse and financial access have positive net effects on economic development. However, there is no sufficient evidence to suggest that interactions between financial access and enforcement and compliance monitoring regulations have a significant effect on economic development. Practical implications First, policy makers should continue with efforts aimed at instituting FCP regimes as part of strategies aimed at broadening access to financial services for enhanced economic development. Second, instituting FCP regimes per se may not be enough. Policy makers need to consider possible intervening factors such as the provision of adequate resources and supervisory authority, for compliance monitoring and enforcement to achieve the expected positive effect on economic development. Originality/value This study extends evidence in the law–finance–growth literature by providing empirical evidence on the effect of legal institution specific to the protection of retail financial consumers on the access–development nexus using a nouvel data set, the World Bank Global survey on FCP and Financial Literacy (2013).

Purpose – The purpose of this article is to explain under what circumstances firm-level adoption of codes of good corporate governance will more likely be superficial rather than substantive in nature. The article contains lessons for any agency or country that attempts to implement deep and lasting changes in corporate governance via codes of good corporate governance. Design/methodology/approach – The article reviews the literature on compliance with codes of good corporate governance and develops a conceptual model to explain why some firms that have formally adopted a code of good governance decouple this policy from its actual use. Findings – Decoupling in response to the issuance of codes of good corporate governance will be more attractive to firms and also more sustainable under the following conditions: firms’ compliance costs are relatively high firms’ costs of outright and visible non-compliance are relatively high and outsiders’ compliance monitoring costs are relatively high. Originality/value – The article contributes to the debate on compliance and convergence and provides policymakers with a conceptual framework for assessing the likelihood of successful regulatory change in corporate governance.

IntroductionPeople who are homeless experience higher morbidity and mortality than the general population. These outcomes are exacerbated by inequitable access to healthcare. Emerging evidence suggests a role for peer advocates—that is, trained volunteers with lived experience—to support people who are homeless to access healthcare.Methods and analysisWe plan to conduct a mixed methods evaluation to assess the effects (qualitative, cohort and economic studies); processes and contexts (qualitative study); fidelity; and acceptability and reach (process study) of Peer Advocacy on people who are homeless and on peers themselves in London, UK. People with lived experience of homelessness are partners in the design, execution, analysis and dissemination of the evaluation.Ethics and disseminationEthics approval for all study designs has been granted by the National Health Service London—Dulwich Research Ethics Committee (UK) and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine’s Ethics Committee (UK). We plan to disseminate study progress and outputs via a website, conference presentations, community meetings and peer-reviewed journal articles.
