Asymmetries of information in centralized order-driven markets
No full textWe study the efficiency of the equilibrium price in a centralized, order-driven market where many asymmetrically informed traders are active for many periods. We show that asymmetries of information can lead to sub-optimal information revelation with respect to the symmetric case. In particular, we assess that the more precise the information the higher the incentive to reveal it, and that the value of private information is related to the volume of exogenous trade present on the market. Moreover, we prove that any informed trader, whatever his information, reveals his private signal during an active phase of the market, concluding that long pre-opening phases are not effective as an information discovering device in the presence of strategic players.Asymmetric information; pre-opening; insider trading

No full textHealth Centres A Report and Discussion
No full textThis is a report (originally issued in February 1971) of the first phase of work, carried out at the Centre for Research in the Social Sciences of the University of Kent, into health centres and related aspects of primary medical care organisation. It presents the background in terms of
the state of knowledge about health centres for the later studies which were being developed by the group at the University of Kent and became part of the programme of the Health Services Research Unit. Since final reports on these studies are now being completed it seemed useful to
reissue the original (1971) report. The issues discussed remain relevant to policy decisions about health centres
TNF promoter SNP variation in Amerindians and white-admixed women from Misiones, Argentina
No full textThe aim of this study is to describe genetic variation in the TNF promoter in the ethnically diverse population of Misiones, north-eastern Argentina. We analysed 210 women including 66 Amerindians of the Mbya-Guarani ethnic group and 144 white-admixed individuals from urban and rural areas of Misiones. Their DNA samples were surveyed for TNF polymorphisms -376 A/G, -308 A/G -244 A/G and -238 A/G by PCR amplification and direct sequencing and for the Amerindian marker -857 C/T by real-time PCR. Our main findings are as follows:(i) a distinctive pattern of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) distribution among these groups, (ii) genetic differentiation between the Mbya-Guarani and the white-admixed populations (P < 0.05), (iii) lower gene diversity (~0.05) in Mbya-Guarani compared with the whiteadmixed group (~0.21); and (iv) linkage disequilibrium between the -376A and -238A SNPs in white-admixed populations. These data highlight the principal role of population history in establishing present-day genetic variation at the TNF locus and provide a framework for undertaking ethnographic and disease association studies in Misiones.Fil: Badano, Ines.

Aspects of the fantastic grotesque in the works of V. Mayakovsky, M. Bulgakov and E. Schwartz
No full textThe grotesque in Soviet literature ls a field of study whlch has been neglected both in the Soviet Union and the West. In the Soviet Union interest in the grotesque reached a high point in the formalist criticism of the twenties, since the grotesque is one of the most clearly expressed devices of defamiliarisation. After a long period of taboo a revival takes place in the sixties. An attempt has been made in thls thesis to define the grotesque and to apply this definition to the works of V. Mayakovaky, M. Bulgakoy and E. Schwartz. We are primarily concerned with the structural features of their grotesque and the relationshlp of these to comedy and tragedy. While very similar in its structure and its use of comedy devices, the grotesque of all three writers differs substantially in its nature. We have attempted to establish the reasons for the differences and to define the function of their grotesque
UL coverage probabilities against Γ<sub>M</sub> and <i>ζ</i><sub><i>j</i></sub>.
No full textCoverage and capacity are optimized in fifth generation (5G) networks by small base station (SBS) distribution in the coverage realm of macro base station (MBS). However, system performance is significantly reduced by inter-cell interference (ICI) because of the orthogonal frequency division multiple access assumption. In addition to ICI, this work considers intentional jammers’ interference (IJI) due to the presence of jammers. These Jammers try to inject undesirable energies into the legitimate communication band, which significantly degrade uplink (UL) signal-to-interference ratio (SIR). To reduce ICI and IJI, in this work, we employ SBS muting, where the SBSs near MBS are switched off. To further mitigate ICI and IJI, we use one of the effective interference management schemes a.k.a reverse frequency allocation (RFA). We presume that due to mitigation in ICI and IJI, the UL coverage performance of the proposed network model can be further improved.</div

The business of theatre and the theatre of business
No full textThere is a strong operational common denominator between what can be called the Business of Theatre and The Theatre of Business. Both concepts are predicated on “the willing suspension of disbelief,” or “make-believe,” wherein impersonation is a key factor of production. Their relationship in terms of communication between the stage and the auditorium is inalienable and irreducible or sacrosanct. The actors and actresses on the stage communicate intimately, among themselves, for effective reach to, and among the audiences in the auditorium. The message is usually transmitted in form of education cum information through entertainments; via lively productions of plays that mirror human experiences; Individual and collective.
The main difference between the former and the latter is, arguably, the degree of emphasis with regards to the production targets. The business of theatre is concerned with the upliftment of humanistic essence; ethical, emotional and psychological elements though moralistic edification via cultural effluence, deemphasizing financial gains. The theatre of business does almost the same, more or less, with its stock-in-trade emphasizing application of business methods towards monetary profits maximization. Both of them operate on the maxim of utile et dulche (utility and entertainment). Both ideally shun entertainment-for-entertainment sake per se. In other words, the business of theatre emphasizes humanistic elements, while the theatre of business emphasizes monetary benefits predominantly. For instance, community and educational theatres belong to the business of theatre. Cultural productions of Shakespeare plays for cultural exchange or moral edification, for instance, can be regarded as the business of theatre. Some examples of the theatre of business include productions of the Stock-and-Resident Theatre, Repertory Theatre or those on Broadways and other commercial theatres with strict emphasis on box ¬office profitability. Thus, the theatre of business are really commercial1y¬oriented, unlike the business of theatre.
