Values have been an important topic of sociological research for over a century. The classical sociologists considered values to be key elements of human groups and societies. For instance, sociology's founding fathers Émile Durkheim and Max Weber considered how differences in values, and the extent to which our actions are influenced by these values via norm compliance, explain differences between groups. Sociologists tend not to write about what ought to be valued, but rather they describe (differences in) values, search for values that are shared among individuals/societies, and explain their origin and consequences. Theoretical and empirical questions on the distribution of values in societies are now a firm part of sociological research worldwide, although economics, political science, psychology, and anthropology study values as well. Any overview of the literature on values thus necessarily draws on these fields. Values remain, however, to some extent a contested concept in sociology, partly due to measurement difficulties and partly to lacking evidence of what values may do. Values give direction to the way that individuals, organizations, and societies act; what they strive for; and what they deem important. Values are culturally approved, internalized wishes that motivate our actions. Values are relatively abstract notions that inspire our beliefs and attitudes and determine what we strive for. Shalom Schwartz theorizes that value dimensions are universal because they refer to three questions that all groups must relate to: (1) How do the individual and the group relate? (2) How should social relations be organized in a way that maintains the social structure of society? (3) How should we relate to other societies or the natural world? We know that both the parental home and the larger society have influence on value formation. The empirical results on how values matter in the daily decisions, emotions, and behaviors of individuals, organizations, and societies are scarce. We do not know the importance of values for outcomes from sociological studies, but there is more empirical evidence from organizational or psychological literature. For instance, people for whom individuality, independence, and freedom are important values become unsatisfied in work environments that ask for obedience and compliance. At the same time, people hold many values that may conflict with one another, depending on the context that people are in. There exists no straightforward relation between finding a particular value important and how one behaves because of this continuous conflict of values. Generally speaking, people have values that differ in importance to them and that may or may not be activated in a particular context. Some related concepts are sometimes mistaken for values, most notably attitudes, beliefs, and norms. Attitudes are affective evaluations of all kinds of specific objects, such as soccer teams, coffees, emancipation, or political candidates. Beliefs are statements that individuals hold to be true, whether they are or not. "Penguins live at the South Pole" and "Penguins live at the North Pole" are two examples of beliefs that people may hold. Beliefs can also take the form of prejudice. Norms are rules or guidelines that are shared within groups (large or small) and that prescribe acceptable behaviors.
General Overviews: Universal Value Systems
From the first scholars up to the early 21st century, there have been numerous attempts to categorize values into universal value systems, and some main works on universal values are given in this section. Classic texts include Rokeach 1973 and Parsons 1935. There seems to be consensus on at least part of the definition of value systems, and most scholars agree that a universal set of values exists. Some of the most influential work (e.g., Hofstede 2001, Schwartz 1992) contends that two sets of value dimensions exist, one at the level of the individual and one at the level of societies. Smith and Dugan 1996 and Fischer and Poortinga 2012 test this assumption. Other studies, such as Inglehart 1977, aggregate individual values to the macro level without considering a different structure at the macro level. More-recent studies aim to bring back the importance of values to the sociological research tradition in innovative ways. Hitlin and Piliavin 2004 discusses the role of values in behavior; Hitlin and Vaisey 2013 considers the study of morality as a new avenue for sociological research.

DOI: 10.1177/1470595812439867E-mail Citation »
Both Shalom Schwartz and Geert Hofstede have argued that individual value systems differ from national value systems, and this article tests this claim through using the Schwartz Value Survey and two others. Shows that value dimensions are identical at both levels and need not be treated or researched separately.

Excellent overview of scholarly work on values, albeit with a rather strong emphasis on Schwartz's Basic Human Values. Noteworthy is the section on what values do. Although the authors bring together what we know of the consequences of values in 2004, the result is meager because few studies have studied (and found) effects of values on behaviors.

Theoretical paper that combines different strands of literature from within and outside sociology to arrive at a synthesis that covers recent developments in (neuro)psychology. Shifts from a focus on values to a focus on morality and names three contributions that sociologist can and ought to make in the field: (1) to study variation in what is considered moral, (2) to study social processes that can explain this variation, (3) to study how morality affects behavior in natural contexts.
Hofstede, Geert. 2001. Culture's consequences: Comparing values, behaviors, institutions, and organizations across nations. 2d ed. Thousand Oaks, CA: SAGE.
On the basis of an employee survey in multinational IBM, Hofstede in this influential book distinguishes four values that are continuums on which countries vary: power distance, uncertainty avoidance, individualism (collectivism), and masculinity (femininity). In the updated second edition, a fifth factor is added on the basis of research in China: long-term orientation (short term). Cited mostly in management and organization science.
Inglehart, Ronald. 1977. The silent revolution: Changing values and political styles among Western publics. Princeton, NJ: Princeton Univ. Press.
Influential book, notably in political sociology. The first of many more books by this author around the same major theme: that there exists an intergenerational shift in values. Due to circumstances of affluence, younger generations have less materialist values (security, law, and order) and more post-materialist values (freedom of speech). His findings remain important but continue to be debated on persistency.
Parsons, Talcott. 1935. The place of ultimate values in sociological theory. International Journal of Ethics 45.3: 282–316.
DOI: 10.1086/intejethi.45.3.2378271E-mail Citation »
Early functionalist work on values that studied values as compliance to societal norms. It assumed a singular moral system for societies, supported by its institutions. Became unpopular in the second half of the 20th century, as sociologists moved to study power and stratification issues. In its day, however, Parsons was an eminent theorist and he influenced many sociologists.
Rokeach, Milton. 1973. The nature of human values. New York: Free Press.
One of the seminal works on values that inspired much of the later work. Rokeach distinguishes between terminal and instrumental values, which reflect end states or goals and modes or means, respectively. In this important book, values are discussed in relation to attitudes and behavior, as well as politics.
Schwartz, Shalom H. 1992. Universals in the content and structure of values: Theoretical advances and empirical tests in 20 countries. In Advances in experimental social psychology. Vol. 25. Edited by Mark P. Zanna, 1–65. New York: Academic Press.

Categorization into nine or ten basic values in the structure of a circle. Values next to each other are closer on a theoretical continuum, whereas values across from each other are contradictory. Further reduced to two value dimensions: self-enhancement versus self-transcendence and conservatism versus openness to change. Tested in twenty nations, empirical evidence is presented. Schwartz´s measurement was influenced by the Rokeach questionnaire. Currently, Schwartz is the most influential scholar in the sociological study of values. Highly cited.
Smith, Peter B., and Shaun Dugan. 1996. National culture and the values of organizational employees: A dimensional analysis across 43 nations. Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology 27.2: 231–264.

Attempts to reconstruct Hofstede's key constructs with a new global sample, incorporating the work of Schwartz and other values scholars. Finds strong evidence for an individualism/collectivism-like construct but fails to find the other Hofstede dimensions. Their differing findings are (partly) explained by differences in surveyed countries, since this study includes (former) communist nations with particular value systems.

Prince William, VA Government Looking For New CIO In Wake Of Scandal
Recently an IT manager, a CIO, and two other works were fired for falsifying bids and for creating shells companies within the IT department of the Prince William, VA government. This led to the embezzlement of $8 million in a scheme that involved forgery and money laundering.
The government of Prince William is currently looking for a new CIO. The following people have been affected as a result of the scandal:
– Former OIT systems division chief Maneesh Gupta
– two unnamed workers
– Former CIO Massoud Nourbaksh (not charged, but resigned anyway)
Now the Prince William government is tightening controls set in place for workflow. There are also tighter controls on finance and project governance.

Overview (1)
Date of Birth | 23 October 1992, Bristol, Connecticut, USA |
Mini Bio (1)
How much can you really learn about a person through this text? I could tell you that Brett DelBuono is a young man who was born in Connecticut and raised in Massachusetts by his mother, Debbie, and his father, Gary. Or that at the age of nine, after many professional theater performances, Brett found an interest in film and television acting and booked his first film role as Marcus in the movie "Freedom Park". I could talk about his two older brothers, Nick and DJ; or tell you about how he used to dress up as different character each day for pre-school; or about how he grew up loving and playing baseball and hockey to be more like his cool older brothers. I could even go on to talk about how he began traveling to New York and Los Angeles before he began high school (with the help of his supportive family) and how he's always loved acting and hasn't stopped since his nine year old interest was piqued.
However, it is not Brett's accomplishments that he's interested in sharing with you; it's his body of work. Don't waste your time reading about him when you could be using that time to watch one of the many projects in which he has had the pleasure of performing for you. Whether it's one of his roles on shows like "The Cleaner" - on which he was a series regular - "NCIS," "House," and "Private Practice"; or his work in films like "Balls Of Fury", "Let Me In", and "XOXO". In his performance is where you'll truly get to see Brett.
Brett promises to keep working to create memorable characters and films for you to watch, whether they're self-financed shorts, interesting indies, or big budget studio films. "I do everything I can to give the viewer an emotional release. After all, that's the reason we all sit down to watch anything, we want to feel something new and be a part of something special," Brett DelBuono (2016).

Aspergillosis Deborah Lehman ++ Aspergillosis, caused by any of several species of Aspergillus, usually manifests in immunocompromised or debilitated hosts as necrotizing cavitary pulmonary lesions or as hematogenously disseminated foci in multiple organs. Aspergillus can also cause a hypersensitivity or allergic pneumonitis in immunocompetent hosts and in patients with chronic pulmonary diseases. This is referred to as allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) (eFig. 295.1). ++eFigure 295.1. Graphic Jump Location+View Full Size|Favorite Figure|Download Slide (.ppt)The spectrum of aspergillosis. ++ Ubiquitous in nature, Aspergillus spp are commonly found in soil, water, and on decaying vegetation. Human exposure to the spores of potentially pathogenic species, particularly A fumigatus, is unavoidable. Aspergillus fumigatus has been implicated in most of the disseminated and pulmonary infections, but A flavus and A niger, among others, have also been recovered as pathogens. Transmission occurs by inhalation of airborne spores that regularly contaminate the environment; human-to-human transmission or zoonotic transmission has not been documented. Patients with immunosuppression are at greatest risk, especially those who are being treated for lymphoreticular disorders and other hematologic malignancies. Because the phagocytic functions of neutrophils and mononuclear cells are the primary immune defense against invasive aspergillosis, Aspergillus is a common infectious cause of death in bone marrow transplant recipients. Outbreaks in transplant units have been epidemiologically linked to building demolition and construction, which releases fungal spores into the environment. There has been a significant increase in the incidence of invasive aspergillosis over the past few decades owing to the increasing numbers of patients undergoing transplantation, specifically for hematologic malignancies, as well an increase in the intensity of treatment regimens. Invasive aspergillosis in a patient without underlying disease is infrequent, and intensive investigation for a predisposing disorder should be undertaken. ++ Clinical Manifestations ++ Infection with Aspergillus can manifest as three distinct syndromes; two types of noninvasive aspergillosis; pulmonary aspergilloma and allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), as well as invasive aspergillosis, either locally invasive or disseminated disease.1 ++ Aspergilloma is the most common form of pulmonary aspergillosis2 and occurs when the fungus grows as a dense mass of hyphae and tissue debris within a preexistent pulmonary cavity caused by a concomitant pulmonary disease such as tuberculosis, lung abscess, or bronchiectasis. A patient with an aspergilloma may be asymptomatic and the lesion noted on incidental radiographic examination; however, there may be significant and life-threatening hemoptysis as a result of invasion of local bronchial blood vessels lining the cavity. ++ ABPA is a hypersensitivity reaction to fungal antigens and is most commonly caused by A fumagatis. ABPA is seen in patients with chronic pulmonary disease such as asthma or cystic fibrosis. Some studies suggest that ABPA occurs in up to 15% of patients with cystic fibrosis3 and in 7% to 14% of patients with corticosteroid dependent asthma.4 Inhalation of fungal spores leads to hyphal colonization of the bronchopulmonary tree resulting in mucus ...

The price quoted is not the price you pay. They levy a compulsory charge forinsurance and you have to buy their padlock, to which they retain the master combination. When asked about this at Wallsend depot, the assistant manager was very aggressive and left my wife feeling scared and my daughter crying and screaming. I do not recommend the Wallsend depot.

Both the staff that i have dealt with (in person and via email) have been great. (Rachel and Robert i believe their names are) They were both very helpful and friendly. Also the fact that I had researched several storage facilities before this one, and this was one of the only ones open on a sunday was what made our decision! Have had our storage in with you for almost 3 weeks now and have had no problems at all!! Very happy with the service and would definitely reccommend. Thank you

We had quite awkward needs but both paul and Rachel could not have been more helpful.

"Politics is the Art of Looking for Trouble, Finding it Everywhere, Diagnosing it Incorrectly, and Applying the Wrong Remedies".
The kicker.....he's facing 10 years in jail for "assaulting" a police officer.
http://articles.baltimoresun.com/201...new-curriculumThe officer pushed Small and then escorted him into the hall, handcuffed him and had him sit on the curb in front of the school. He was taken to the Towson precinct and detained. Small was charged with second-degree assault of a police officer, which carries a fine of $2,500 and up to 10 years in prison, and disturbing a school operation, which carries a fine of $2,500 and up to six months.
He should have knocked Louis Gossett Jr. on his butt...rent-a-cop!
The moral to the story is that as a private citizen, you need to bring in your own security to speak before corrupt officials.
I have to play devil's advocate here, but he wasn't following the rules of the forum. The disturbing a school operation charge most certainly should stick, but the video clearly shows there was not 2nd degree assault on a police officer. That one won't go anywhere with a judge. IMHO the guy took his disruption too far. He made his point for a minute and a half before the officer walked over. He then ranted for another 30 or so seconds after that. If he had voluntarily left once the officer pulled him from the isle then everything would be fine right now.
�Turns out, far too much has been written about great men and not nearly enough about morons. Doesn't seem right.�
BS. He had support from many others there. He was expressing the feelings of many there and he was shut down physically for it. The school board was only accepting pre-written and pre-approved questions. It was all an illusion and he pulled the curtain and got charged for a potential 10 years in jail for it. If you can't see the injustice and wrong in this than I don't know what more to tell you.
But dems the rules. That's what type of questions they were accepting and he still got his rant in. He made his point and now he's got to take his medicine. But I forgot for you hard core Libertarians rules and laws are like the pirate's code: more like guidelines.
Do I think the whole thing is silly? Of course I do but laws are laws and rules are rules. Besides, visit this guy after the justice system is done and I'd wager he probably gets a small fine. This guy is not going to do any prison time. But in your typical fashion you've got to sensationalize it to make any kind of central government the worst thing in the world. So is this school board in Baltimore coming to take our guns away now?
Oh so now a yank to get the guy's attention is an abuse of power? He cop could have grabbed him and pinned his arm behind his back dragged him out of the meeting like a common criminal but he didn't. Yes it's over charging (which is common in criminal justice) but the charges won't stick or will be adjusted down (which is again, common) because that's what our judicial system is for. But then again that doesn't fit your borderline anarchist narrative, does it? Any minor little thing gets blown up into a major government abuse. I guess that includes school board meetings now. It's a c-o-n-spiracy I tell you man! SMH.

All of a sudden, N-M quit working on my freshly-upgraded FujiP. Woe was me, until I started debugging. It was weird, N-M wouldn't even SEE the wifi device, though it would work on the wired device. I could run "iwlist eth1 scanning" and see access points, so it wasn't a hardware or driver issue.
All I did was quit nm-applet, kill NetworkManager, and then run NetworkManager from within a terminal (as root). Saw that the NetworkManager process could see eth1 and manage it, then moved on to running nm-applet from within a terminal (as myself). I saw that there was an error message being barfed to the terminal about "too many entries" or something (I should have written it down for posterity, but I was on a roll, so I didn't). With that bit of info, I went digging in regedit gconf. I found that I had over 200 "cached" ESSIDs in system/networking/wireless/networks. I killed those cached ESSIDs, and rebooted. BOOM. It all worked again, and all is now right with the world.

I happen to be one of those people that travel on Sunday quite often for a Monday-Friday assignment. Sometimes the assignments are shorter, but the norm is the 4 or 5 day stint. I'll drive to as many locations as possible, but hopping on an airplane has been happening more and more for me. For years, I always took the view of direct flights when possible. Also, I like to arrive at my final destination in daylight.
My "relationship" with Marriott has turned me into a point junkie. I spend a few minutes searching for the biggest return for my buck when making Marriott reservations. If a hotel, 10 miles further, is offering a couple thousand points bonus, I'll book it and drive the extra miles. I've cut back on my favorite Residence Inn stays (5 points) in favor of FFI and SHS (10 points). Now, I earn lots of points, maintain the PP status and feel I've achieved a nice yin and yang for me and the Marriott.
My ability to max out on airline status is not quite there. I fly just enough to scrape the first level (ie Silver w/ USAir, Gold w/ American). In March of 2012, I checked in for my flight to find that I had lost my status with USAir. As Homer Simpson once said, Doh!!! I had lost sight of my status. I took my eye off the ball. That did not feel good. No more hopping on an earlier flight for free..no more first check bag free....no more decent seats on the plane. Well, I was determined to regain that status!
So, here's the question. Have you ever used connecting flights to help you attain status for an airline? I found myself doing a few PHL to DCA to BOS type of flights to get the extra "leg" in my goal for 30. In the end, I had my status back. It cost me an extra hour or two on a Sunday, but at the time, I felt it was worth it. Now I fear I'm getting addicted, similar to Marriott points, I'm now looking at an extra leg or two to help me achieve the higher status and perks. Have I gone over the edge? Am I alone out here in the points/miles syndrome?
I tell myself that I always fly connecting flights, mainly for the ability to get off the plane and stretch my legs after a couple hours. The doubling of segments, added miles, and visits to the Club have nothing to do with it. The fact that I've taken three legs when there was a nonstop available is sheer coincidence. That's my story, and I'm sticking with it.
My air travel in 2012 came to 160,000 miles or so, and 170 or so segments on United. Had I been able to get nonstops to most of my destinations, the segment count would be closer to 100, and the mileage more like 120,000. That's just a guess, but given the number of trips and where they were, I'd venture that at least 60-70% of my destinations require a connection anyway (lotta smaller towns).
More to the point of your question though, in 2011 I did a 9,000-mile run (PHX-LAX-EWR-SJU-EWR-LAX-PHX) over Christmas day, just to get over the 100,000 mile mark for the year (my slowest on record). 20 hours in the air and another 19 on the ground (and the $800 in airfare) just to cross a threshold. So no, you're not even close to the edge, much less over it.
You are my hero..I think
In 2011 I was 1 stay away from Plat so my wife and I spent 12/29/11 at the Marriott near the Phoenix airport. We met a guy at the bar that was doing a trip like jk, but over 2 days. There are a lot of us point junkies out there!
Another good one, curiousone.
I agree with you 100%, I admire these guy's!
Can't do it, and couldn't figure out how to best do it!
Go for it guys, and share the stories and advice!
I use to buy cheap Travelocity packages when they used my airline and a marriott for a couple of hundred dollars. Usually it was a 1 night stay, and I did to get miles for both. One of my Jan flites out of DTW on NWA, just about everyone sitting around me was doing the same thing. Many of them, were getting off at the destination, which for this trip was Frankfurt, and getting right back on to fly back. It was the equivalent of buying status in January to use for the rest of the year. Considering we use to charge for 'butt' time in consulting, or the consultants airline time, I couldn't help but wonder about my lost time. But flying over, eating at a favorite restaurant, visiting a site I missed on a previous trip, and suddenly the flite time didn't seem a waste.
I think its a very standard practice. In Dec its the folks trying to book the milest before the year ends (though some vendors it was the end of Feb), and during the 1st quarter trying to earn the status if they didn't make it the previous year.
In flying, for holiday and vacation, I frequently would try to schedule one of the legs of my flights on a holiday like Christmas or 4th of July. The planes were usually near empty and the fares were significantly lower than the days before or after. The last couple of years, I have noticed that the difference has disappeared.
Now I know why!!!
I try to do the same, to fly on the holiday for the lower prices and less crowding.
Prices are still lower, but not as much, but flites have definately gotten crowded. I think everyone is also trying to save money as well, since the highest price tickets have become astronomical. For my EWR-DTW flite, it was ~$1K for a 1 way ticket the weekend before xmas, and the days after. Flying on Christmas, initially was a couple hundred dollars, and last minute tickets were about half the cost of flying on the weekend or subsequent days.
I've heard of those mile runs. I've never done one. I always fly one airline (United), but I don't mind layovers. You have to know which airlines not to connect at though. For instance, I really try to avoid connecting in Chicago due to the weather and the usual delays.
Since I fly non-stops mainly, never realized I get more miles and segments by connecting.
Will need to look into this.
If my travel last year was 100% nonstops (actually impossible), I'd have something like 86 segments; as it is, I did have a few nonstops, but also some three-leg trips (two connections between departure & destination). It all ended up at 171 segments, more or less. The mileage for the year was at least 20-25% more by connecting, since there's always the "elbow" of the hub, and many of the flights were only 150-300 miles—but are credited with 500. It adds up nicely.
Sharing the numbers associated with your experience was most helpful for future planning.
Fascinating questions, painedplatinum - and some random reactions:
Once upon a time the European national airlines used to run Business Class extra day specials. Cross the pond on their national airline and then connect to another flight and they would give you a hotel for free for a day. Example, fly to Paris on KLM via Amsterdam and KLM would lay you over for a day and pay for a room at the Sonesta. Great way to get some free tourism.

Voices of consumer advocacy are rapidly declining in the Bay State. With the occasional exception of some of Jay Fitzgerald's business pieces at the Herald, there's very little coverage at the major dailies of the ins and outs of how issues like auto insurance deregulation, health insurance reform, the secondary ticket market, et.
Obama is the more emotionally delicate candidate, and the one who has the more feminine consensus management style, and the not-blinded-by-testosterone ability to object to a phony war.
You're right. Boston isn't New York, and, as someone who swapped the Upper West Side for Back Bay (before JP), that is a good thing. And you're right.
So says Joe Keohane, in a very entertaining homage/fauxbituary published in February's Boston magazine:
It's not just a fading lust for mayhem that's putting the hurt on our tab. Demographic shifts and the decline of the working class in Boston--traditionally the Herald's bread and butter--have taken a bite as well.
A few months ago, I visited this new store in Jamaica Plain, and it felt as if I had stepped into a boutique in SoHo. The men's hats were far too cool for me, but I found a great black hat-scarf combo and a pair of silver earrings for my wife.
New England Patriots fans are smarter, classier and healthier and own pricier homes than the riff-raff who root for the New York Giants - and now we've got the research to back it up.
Metro Boston's front page story today claiming that the Boston Globe is planning "hundreds of layoffs" is factually incorrect.
Interesting correction in today's Globe (scroll down):
Because the subject of an interview provided misleading information, a man quoted in a Page One story Tuesday about employees who telecommuted during Monday's snowstorm was incorrectly identified as Heywood James, 41, of Needham, and an employee of Fidelity Investments.

Due to its proposed basal position in the bilaterian Tree of Life, Acoela may hold the key to our understanding of the evolution of a number of bodyplan features including the central nervous system.

Acoels are among the simplest worms and therefore have often been pivotal in discussions of the origin of the Bilateria. Initially thought primitive because of their "planula-like" morphology, including their lumenless digestive system, they were subsequently dismissed by many morphologists as a specialized clade of the Platyhelminthes. However, since… (More)
Acoelomorphs are bilaterally symmetric small marine worms that lack a coelom and possess a digestive system with a single opening. Two alternative phylogenetic positions of this group within the animal tree are currently debated. In one view, Acoelomorpha is the sister group to all remaining Bilateria and as such, is a morphologically simple stepping stone… (More)

Objective: To verify whether combination of specific signs improves MRI accuracy in morbidly adherent placenta (MAP).
Material and Methods: The Institutional Review Board granted permission for this retrospective study and a waiver of informed consent. The presence/absence of MRI findings for MAP were retrospectively evaluated in 27 women. Histopathology was the reference standard, showing MAP in 8/27 and 19/27 normal cases. MRI results were analyzed by 2x2 tables. MRI SS, SP, PPV and NPP were calculated for every single sign; the Fisher exact Test was employed for statistical significance. Two skilled radiologists analyzed MRI findings, resolving discrepancies by consensus, using 3 diagnostic criteria during 3 consecutive sections: a) 1st criterion: at least any one of reported MRI signs indicates MAP and the absence of any sign is normal; b) 2nd criterion: at least 1statistically significant sign (SSS) indicates MAP and no sign or non-SSS is normal; c) 3rd criterion: at least 2 SSS signs indicate MAP and no sign, non-SSS or only 1 SSS is normal. The criteria were compared for diagnostic accuracy by the Exact McNemar test (p < 0.05 significant).
Results: The 1st MRI criterion showed unacceptable rate of FP results (78.9%). Using the 2nd criterion FP results were less high (31.5%), and the Exact McNemar test stated that diagnostic accuracy of the 2nd criterion was significantly higher than the 1st ; the 3rd criterion correctly classified 100% of cases.
Conclusion: Only specific MRI signs can correctly predict MAP at histopathology, especially when associated.

Ben Co-Founder & Director
I bring 17 years' experience in marketing, events, branding and communications. I started out as a developer and have since collected many disciplines under my belt. I'm passionate about my team and make it my goal to ensure they achieve the best results.
I like to think of myself as a well-seasoned strategic leader, with the ability to help run and manage an effective, successful and culturally aligned creative agency.
Will Co-Founder & Commercial Director
As Commercial Director I'm tasked with the job of leading Fever through the commercial landscape. This means overseeing product development, identifying new market opportunities, determining optimal pricing to balance profit with customer/client satisfaction and directing marketing operations.
I hold Fever's hand in a consistent trajectory of growth, while avoiding obstacles that arise from a constantly shifting market. I'm passionate about success through exceptional service delivery and am a firm believer in creating the future, not managing the present.
Alex Client Services Lead
They call me Whiplash – I manage forcefully, directly and honestly… like a whip being cracked!
I am the Client Services Lead at Fever. I bring over 15 years of Project Management experience within financial, creative and broadcast services. For me project management success is as much about leading people as it is about managing tasks, events and processes.
I manage our client and team needs in parallel and ensure that perfect harmony is reached so that as a team we can focus on delivering practical, measurable and beautiful results in all we do.
Sam Financial Controller
I'm the sensible one. I'm very enthusiastic about accounts! I have extensive experience and a wide level of general responsibility for monitoring and reconciliation of company accounts. I'm a strong communicator with excellent interpersonal skills, knowledge of KPI reporting and assisting in the production of monthly management accounts.
I work hard to ensure Fever's finance function is well organised and efficient. I'm a great problem solver, sociable and confident, a timeless multi-tasker and incredibly reliable with IT and Office software packages. With the aid of The Archers my role at Fever is enjoyable and forever challenging.
Mark Creative Director
I have around 15 years experience as a graphic designer, working with both local start-ups and global brands, preceded by six years studying art and design, covering many disciplines. I'm responsible for overseeing the creative in the studio and tone of your brand. Yes there can be hurdles, but as the creative lead my purpose is to ensure a design is perfectly articulated to make your brand engaging and successful.
Brand identity, typography and art direction are the most rewarding parts of my job. I continuously think of ways to improve client material, not to mention our own. It's one thing to specialise in a certain area of the industry and certainly knowing your subject inside out is essential, but maintaining good peripheral vision is a must too.
Rowena Designer
I'm a graphic designer with over 10 year's experience in illustration, mobile and interactive design with a natural affinity for the weird and wonderful. I take inspiration from a profound love of music, movies and video games, particularly album artwork, theatrical posters and character design. My work with interactive design has lead me to illustratively contribute to some awesome apps and games, increasing my knowledge of development and animation in the process.
Coming from a creative family, I have been surrounded by many artistic disciplines such as photography and traditional illustration. As such, the creative process comes naturally to me and I am able to adapt and learn new skill sets as and when required. I devote much of my time to seeking out the latest trends, styles and standards along with evolving my existing skills and building new ones along the way.
Jay Technical Director
I spend my time at Fever hand-coding virtual destinations (some may say websites…). It's my job to take your vision (along with the designers) and bring it to life as a fully functioning website that is a breeze to use on all types of modern devices. Using the incredibly flexible WordPress platform, I build sites bespoke to your requirements and to the pixel perfection of the design team.
I created my first site when I was 12 years old and 10+ years later I still love what I do. Much has changed in that time but being able to learn/use new technology and techniques almost indefinitely is great!
Harry Research & Social Apprentice
I'm in charge of Research and Social at Fever. I work on our client's pages to promote companies through social media platforms like Google+, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. I have inspiration from every area of the business, from graphic design and image editing to complex development.
I spend my days researching social trends and writing research papers for my team to assist them in meeting preparation and decision-making. I'm learning so much so quickly and look forward to my future with Fever.

Asus announced the ZenFone 3 series during Computex 2016. The company launched three devices, and Asus ZenFone 3 Ultra is on of the three smartphones announced today as part of the ZenFone 3 lineup, to start selling in India. We have already reviewed Asus ZenFone 3 Max and ZenFone 3, and in this review, I will be talking about the Asus ZenFone 3 Ultra.
ZenFone 3 Ultra is only exciting for people who want more real estate and bigger battery life to use a device with a 6.8-inch screen size to probably replace their ageing 7-inch tablets.
I have a Surface Pro 3 and OnePlus 3 as my primarily mobile devices, and I didn't feel the need to find any device in between these two display sizes. Using a smartphone with the 6.8-inch display was unnerving in the beginning, but now as after spending a solid week with the device, I love the device for the massive screen that it provides. So without further ado, let's jump straight into the review.
Build and Design: 8 / 10
Asus ZenFone 3 Ultra comes with a somewhat dull industrial design without any frills. Despite the lack of any fancy design element like textured back or sides, the smartphone manages to look beautiful. It is quite a handful to hold though, thanks to the large screen form factor. It feels sturdy. And although it weighs 233 g, the weight is well distributed along the body of the device, so that it doesn't feel heavy to hold. It measures around 6.8mm thick.
The build quality of the smartphone is brilliant. The company has used premium metal to construct the smartphone instead of any plastic.
The front of the smartphone includes a home button with built-in fingerprint sensor and two soft backlit buttons in the form of back and multi-task switcher beside it. The top of the front screen includes a speaker, proximity sensor, front camera module and LED indicator.
There are no buttons on the left side of the smartphone, and instead, you find the power button and the two separate SIM trays on the right side of the screen. The top SIM tray can house a nano SIM while the second SIM tray can house either the second nano SIM or a microSD card slot. The top side of the smartphone has the 3.5mm headphone jack along with a mic.
The speaker grills are on the bottom side of the smartphone along with the second mic and the Type-C USB 2.0 port in the middle. Asus has decided to add the volume rocker at the backside of the smartphone which somehow works for this form factor.
The volume rocker is located right in the middle towards the top portion (ideally in place of the camera module for some smartphones) with the Camera module along with dual-tone LED towards the top on the left corner of ZenFone 3 Ultra.
You can find the Zenfone branding at the bottom side along with the ASUS logo right in the middle at the back of the device.
Features: 8 / 10
Asus ZenFone 3 Ultra packs a Qualcomm MSM8976 Snapdragon 652 chipset with an octa-core processor clocked at 1.8GHz with Adreno 510 GPU. Our review unit came with 4GB RAM with 64GB internal storage. If you are running out of storage space, then you can add a microSD card up to 256GB in the second SIM slot. The ZenFone 3 Ultra comes with a 6.8-inch IPS LCD with an effective resolution of 1080×1920 at 324ppi display density covered with Gorilla Glass 4 for additional protection.
Asus has added a 23MP camera module along with phase detection autofocus, 4-axis Optical Image Stabilization and a Dual-LED dual tone flash on the back. This camera module has f/2.0 aperture so that it can capture more light in low lighting conditions and it is capable of 1080p at 30fps. Also, the phone sports an 8MP camera module with f/2.0 aperture on the front with 1080p capability.
ZenFone 3 Ultra is equipped with Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Wi-Fi Direct, hotspot, Bluetooth v4.2, GPS with A-GPS, GLONASS and BDS, Type-C USB v2.0 port with Quick-charging support and USB On-The-Go support. It also has a 3.5mm headphone jack, Infrared Port and FM Radio support along with hybrid SIM slots. The company has also added Fingerprint sensor on the front home button along with an accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity and compass sensors. You get a 4600mAh Lithium-ion non-removable battery in the device.
