A Tripartite Post-Recession Rebalancing
No full textIn this latest Advance & Rutgers Report, entitled “A Tripartite Post-Recession Rebalancing,” Dean James W. Hughes and Professor Joseph J. Seneca deliver an incisive assessment of the current market conditions and obstacles in the path of our economic recovery. They offer a statistical cautionary tale that the private and public sector need to hear and acknowledge in order for the economy to make continued progress.This report was published as Issue Paper Number 7, November 2011, in Advance & Rutgers Report
Evidence for the decay B0→J/ψω and measurement of the relative branching fractions of meson decays to J/ψη and J/ψη′
No full textFirst evidence of the B 0 → J / ψ ω decay is found and the B s 0 → J / ψ η and B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ decays are studied using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb -1 collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. The branching fractions of these decays are measured relative to that of the B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0 decay:frac(B (B 0 → J / ψ ω), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 0.89 ± 0.19 (stat) - 0.13 + 0.07 (syst),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 14.0 ± 1.2 (stat) - 1.5 + 1.1 (syst) - 1.0 + 1.1 (frac(f d, f s)),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 12.7 ± 1.1 (stat) - 1.3 + 0.5 (syst) - 0.9 + 1.0 (frac(f d, f s)), where the last uncertainty is due to the knowledge of f d / f s, the ratio of b-quark hadronization factors that accounts for the different production rate of B 0 and B s 0 mesons. The ratio of the branching fractions of B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ and B s 0 → J / ψ η decays is measured to befrac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B s 0 → J / ψ η)) = 0.90 ± 0.09 (stat) - 0.02 + 0.06 (syst)
Sound localization in patients with a unilateral hearing aid: Discordance between the right and left ears
No full textOBJECTIVES: Patients with unilateral hearing loss (UHL) have difficulty in recognizing the direction of a sound. Previous studies have shown that hearing aids (HAs) could improve the directional perception of sound. In this study, we analyzed the results of sound localization tests in patients using a unilateral HA. METHODS: All patients with UHL who had performed sound localization tests since 2018 were included in this study. Sound localization tests, functional gain tests, and the speech discrimination scores (SDSs) were analyzed. The tests were obtained at 1-, 3-, and 6-month after fitting the HA. RESULTS: Of the 32 patients with UHL, 13 were right-sided and 19 were left-sided. After 6 months of using a HA, the results of the sound localization test were significantly better in patients with right than left UHL (percent correct [PCT], 61.9 +/- 24.0% vs. 37.9 +/- 24.6%, p = .011; mean absolute error (MAE), 41.4 +/- 23.9 degrees vs. 65.5 +/- 28.6 degrees , p = .018; root-mean-square error (RMS), 25.8 +/- 17.6 degrees vs. 48.8 +/- 24.5 degrees , p = .007]. The aided SDSs were not different between the two groups (78.7 +/- 16.5% vs. 77.2 +/- 18.5%, p = .825). CONCLUSION: The side of the hearing loss could have a substantial effect on sound localization in UHL patients using a HA. Sound localization test results should be interpreted with the consideration of this discordance. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4
The vanishing author in computer-generated works: a critical analysis of recent Australian case law
No full textAbstract
The use of software is ubiquitous in the creation of many copyright works, yet the requirement in copyright law that every work have a human author who engages in independent intellectual effort means that its use may prevent copyright subsistence. Several recent Australian cases have refocused attention on authorship as an essential criterion of copyright subsistence, and these cases suggest that much computer-produced output may be authorless and thus lack copyright protection. This article, the first in a two-part series, analyses how each case deals with the question of authorship of computer-produced works and why the use of software diminishes copyright protection for a significant number of computer-generated works. The article critiques the application of conventional notions of human authorship developed in the pre-computer age to modern productions and suggests alternative approaches to authorship that satisfy both the major objectives of copyright policy and the need to adapt to the computer age. The article argues that, without a broader judicial approach to authorship of computer-generated works, Parliament must remedy the lacuna in protection for these ‘authorless’ works. Possible solutions for reform are suggested. In a forthcoming article, the author comprehensively examines those reform proposals
Social isolation and its influencing factors among age-related hearing loss patients A cross-sectional study
No full textHearing loss is considered one of the most common symptoms of aging worldwide, and age-related hearing loss is one of the three major chronic illnesses that affect older adults. This study examined social isolation among age-related hearing loss patients and its influencing factors. This cross-sectional descriptive study collected data from older adults with hearing loss from March 2019 to February 2020 at a university hospital. Social isolation, subjective hearing handicap, and communication-related life satisfaction were measured using a structured questionnaire. Objective hearing function was evaluated using an audiometer (Madsen Asterao 2). The independent t test, one-way analysis of variance, and multiple linear regression analysis were used to analyze the data. The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology checklist was used for reporting this study. Almost half (49.9%) of 203 age-related hearing loss patients aged 60 to 92, with a mean age of 71.6 ± 7.95 years, experienced social isolation. Factors predicting social isolation were communication-related life satisfaction (P < .001), religiosity (P = 001), experience using hearing aids (P = .006), and subjective hearing handicap (P = .047). The explanatory power of the model was 58.2%. Interventions to reduce social isolation among age-related hearing loss patients should be implemented in an effort to develop effective, appropriate, and comprehensive strategies targeting this high-risk group
