Two hundred and ninety-eight servicemen being treated for epidemic parotitis at Military Hospital 2 in Turku were examined audiometrically otologically. The purpose of the examination was to throw light upon following questions:(1) How often does perceptive deafness occur connection with mumps;(2) Does hearing improve later, if so, how often, observed cases deafness; and(3) Do patients suffering from mumps induced meningitis exhibit affected more frequently than only mumps?It seen that...
This paper empirically analyses whether post-global financial crisis regulatory reforms have created appropriate incentives to voluntarily centrally clear over-the-counter (OTC) derivative contracts. We use confidential European trade repository data on single-name sovereign credit default swap (CDS) transactions and show that both seller buyer manage counterparty exposures capital costs, strategically choosing when the is riskier. The clearing seem particularly responsive risk, which in...
Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is a progressive pathological condition with no effective pharmacological therapy. To identify novel molecular pathways as potential targets for pharmacotherapy, we studied microRNA (miRNA) profiles of heavily stenotic valves (AS). One the most upregulated miRNAs in AS compared to control was miR-125b (1.4-fold; P < 0.05). CAVD-related changes gene expression, DNA microarray analysis performed, including an intermediate fibro(sclero)tic stage disease....
This paper presents a new database for financial crises in European countries, which serves as an important step towards establishing common ground macroprudential oversight and policymaking the EU. The focuses on providing precise chronological definitions of crisis periods to support calibration models analysis. An contribution this work is identification by combining quantitative approach based stress index with expert judgement from national authorities. Key innovations are (i) inclusion...
Abstract. The purpose of the EUNADICS-AV (European Natural Airborne Disaster Information and Coordination System for Aviation) prototype early warning system (EWS) is to develop combined use harmonised data products from satellite, ground-based in situ instruments produce alerts airborne hazards (volcanic, dust, smoke radionuclide clouds), satisfying requirement aviation air traffic management (ATM) stakeholders (https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/723986, last access: 5 November 2021)....
Aortic valve calcification is an actively regulated process that displays hallmarks of atherosclerosis. Natriuretic peptides (A-, B-, and C-type natriuretic [ANP, BNP, CNP]) have been reported to a role in the pathogenesis vascular atherosclerosis, but their expression aortic valves not known. Here, we characterized compared peptide system patients with normal (n=4), regurgitation (n=11), fibrosis (n=6), stenosis (n=21).By reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction, all 3 were found be...
Over the past few years CDS market's role has evolved from mostly providing default protection towards credit risk trading. The first-ever event in a developed country's sovereign further highlighted importance of market macro-prudential perspective. Developments European are part major structural shift euro debt: view, there been significant debt as (default-free) risk-free benchmark (i.e. bearing interest rate only) to asset. Therefore, repricing entire asset category taken place, with...
Failing to account for joint dynamics of credit and asset prices can be hazardous countercyclical macroprudential policy. We show that composite financial cycles, emphasising expansions contractions common prices, powerfully predict systemic banking crises. Further, the consideration yields a more robust view on cycle characteristics, reconciling an empirical puzzle concerning properties when using two popular alternative methodologies: frequency decompositions standard turning point...
Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is an actively regulated process like atherosclerosis, which accompanied by changes e.g. in endothelin-related genes. However, the role of endothelin peptides AS unknown. We characterized expression system aortic valves patients with normal (n = 12), regurgitation, and fibrosis 6) 18) reverse-transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction immunohistochemistry. The number endothelin-1 (ET-1) positive cells was higher than control valves, while levels ET-1 mRNA did not...
An epidemiologist calculating the risk of a localised epidemic becoming global pandemic would investigate every possible channel contagion from infected region to rest world. Focusing on, say, incidence close human contact underestimate if disease could also spread through air. Likewise, quantity financial system requires practitioners understand all channels which small and local shocks can become big global. Much empirical finance literature has focused only on "direct" arising firms'...

Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is an atheroinflammatory process; finally it leads to progressive calcification of the valve. There no effective pharmacological treatment for CAVD and many underlying molecular mechanisms remain unknown. We conducted a proteomic study reveal novel factors associated with CAVD.We compared valves from patients undergoing valvular replacement surgery due non-calcified insufficiency (control group, n = 5) stenotic group (n 7) using two-dimensional difference...
