Cortical neuronal loss and hippocampal sclerosis are not detected by voxel-based morphometry in individual epilepsy surgery patients
No full textVoxel-based morphometry (VBM) has detected differences between brains of groups of patients
with epilepsy and controls, but the sensitivity for detecting subtle pathological changes in single subjects
has not been established. The aim of the study was to test the sensitivity of VBM using statistical parametric
mapping (SPM5) to detect hippocampal sclerosis (HS) and cortical neuronal loss in individual patients.
T1-weighted volumetric 1.5 T MR images from 13 patients with HS and laminar cortical neuronal loss
were segmented, normalised and smoothed using SPM5. Both modulated and non-modulated analyses
were performed. Comparisons of one control subject against the rest (n ¼ 23) were first performed to ascertain
the smoothing level with the lowest number of SPM changes in controls. Each patient was then compared
against the whole control group. The lowest number of SPM changes in control subjects was found
at a smoothing level of 10 mm full width half maximum for modulated and non-modulated data. In the
patient group, no SPM abnormalities were found in the affected temporal lobe or hippocampus at this
smoothing level. At lower smoothing levels there were numerous SPM findings in controls and patients.
VBM did not detect any abnormalities associated with either laminar cortical neuronal loss or HS. This
may be due to normalisation and smoothing of images and low statistical power in areas with larger interindividual
differences. This suggests that the methodology may currently not be suitable to detect particular
occult abnormalities possibly associated with seizure onset zone in individual epilepsy patients with
unremarkable standard structural MRI

The k-support norm and convex envelopes of cardinality and rank
No full textSparsity, or cardinality, as a tool for feature selection is extremely common in a vast number of current computer vision applications. The k-support norm is a recently proposed norm with the proven property of providing the tightest convex bound on cardinality over the Euclidean norm unit ball. In this paper we present a re-derivation of this norm, with the hope of shedding further light on this particular surrogate function. In addition, we also present a connection between the rank operator, the nuclear norm and the k-support norm. Finally, based on the results established in this re-derivation, we propose a novel algorithm with significantly improved computational efficiency, empirically validated on a number of different problems, using both synthetic and real world data.Anders Eriksson, Trung Thanh Pham, Tat-Jun Chin, Ian Rei
Modeli zdravstvene njege: usporedba teorijskih modela Katie Eriksson i Virginie Henderson
No full textModel zdravstvene njege pojednostavnjeni je pojmovni okvir za komuniciranje i provjeru teorije zdravstvene njege. Suvremene teorije usmjeravaju njegu na sustavan i holistički pristup svakom pojedincu, obitelji i zajednici tijekom njihovih raznovrsnih aktivnosti u različitim stanjima zdravlja. Cilj je rada prikazati model zdravstvene njege Katie Eriksson, usporediti modele zdravstvene njege K. Eriksson i V. Henderson te utvrditi korisnost modela Katie Eriksson. Kao metoda ispitivanja primijenjene su kvalitativna i kvantitativna analiza stručnih članaka. Bilježeni su sadržaji pro- cesa zdravstvene njege i struktura dokumentacije zdravstvene njege na teorijskom modelu Katie Eriksson. Prema Katie Eriksson, zdravlje je ključni pojam zdravstvene njege, pa stoga ona ističe zdravlje kao poseban oblik ljudskog postojanja, a ne samo odsutnost bolesti. Za Katie Eriksson cilj je zdravstvene njege zadovoljavajuće zdravlje. Cilj u procesu zdravstvene njege Virginie Henderson najveća je moguća razina samostalnosti pacijenta. Iako obje imaju drukčije viđenje zdravstvene njege, i jedna i druga ističu važnost etičkog načela – poštovanje pacijenta i ljudskog dostojanstva
Integral kernels for k-hypermonogenic functions
No full textWe consider the modified Cauchy- Riemann operator M-k = Sigma(n)(i=0)=0(ei partial derivative xi) + k/xn Q' in the universal Clifford algebra Cl-0,Cl-n with the basis e1, ... ,en. The null- solutions of this operator are called k-hypermonogenic functions. We calculate the k- hyperbolic harmonic fundamental solutions, i. e. solutions to M-k(M)over bar(k)f = 0, and use these solutions to find k-hypermonogenic kernels for a Cauchy-type integral formula in the upper half-space.Peer reviewe
How Many Danish Jobs Can (Potentially) Be Done Elsewhere?
No full textThis paper employs a new survey technique to arrive at estimates of the proportion of jobs with the characteristic that they can be performed elsewhere than currently, in particular in other countries. The results from the survey which was carried out in November 2008 indicate that the proportion of current jobs with offshorability characteristics in Denmark is in the 20 to 30 percent range. Danish jobs that could potentially be carried out elsewhere are primarily found in the services sector (financial and business services) and they are typically performed by employees from the middle of the wage distributionJobs; offshorability; outsourcing
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Foreign Ownership Wage Premia in Emerging Economies: Evidence from Czech Republic
No full textIn this paper we examine the relationship between wages, labour productivity and ownership using a linked employer-employee dataset covering a large fraction of the Czech labour market in 2006. We distinguish between different origins of ownership and study wage and productivity differences. The raw wage differential between foreign and domestically owned firms is about 24 percent. The empirical analysis is carried out on both firm- and individual-level data. A key finding is that industry, region, and notably human capital explain only a small part of the foreign-domestic ownership wage differential. Both white and blue collar workers as well as skilled and unskilled employees obtain a foreign ownership wage premium. Foreign ownership premia are more prevalent in older and less technologically advanced firms. Joint estimation of productivity and wage equations show that, controlling for human capital, the difference in productivity is about twice as large as the wage differential. The results indicate that the international firms share their rents with their employeesForeign ownership; wages; productivity
