We investigate the hypothesis that workers in foreign-owned establishments face greater job insecurity. Using linked employer employee data from Germany, we examine whether foreign-owned establishments are more likely to exit production, and whether workers in foreign-owned establishments face higher separation rates, net of establishment exit. We find that, after controlling for the different ...

UNLABELLED Accidental or intentional ingestion of sharp metallic foreign bodies is a common clinical occurrence. Predisposing factors include excessive alcohol intake, mental impairment and psychiatric illnesses. Usually, the detection of a migratory foreign body is incidental when patients present with unrelated symptoms. A 50-year-old woman attended the surgical outpatient clinic with a forei...

much alike that serological experiment shows that by the presence of syphilis-antigen the presence in the serum of a yaws patient of framboesia-antibodies is made evident (by complement, deviation), yet the two diseases are distinct. For, as Charlouis pointed out, many years ago, the fact that a man is suffering from yaws does not protect him against luetic infection, and conversely, as Neisser...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Impaction of foreign bodies in the soft tissues is a sequela of traumatic and penetrating injuries. Such foreign bodies should be removed due to the complications they cause. Patient's history, clinical evaluation and imaging examinations aid in the proper detection and localization of the foreign bodies. PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to compare the sensiti...

AIM Foreign body detection and determining whether it is adjacent to critical organs has a significant role in its removal. Various imaging techniques have been used to locate foreign bodies. This study aimed to compare cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and digital radiography for detecting foreign bodies in an in vitro model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Foreign bodies composed of normal glass, ...

Ingestion of a foreign body is a problem seen in nearly all otolaryngologic practices. One of the least common complications of foreign-body ingestion is penetration and migration, which may lead to serious morbidity or even death. We report the findings of a retrospective review of a series of 5 patients who had presented with a complete foreign-body penetration. All of them had radiologic evi...

PURPOSE The main aim of this experiment was to investigate the perception of Foreign Accent Syndrome in comparison to speakers with an authentic foreign accent. METHOD Three groups of listeners attributed accents to conversational speech samples of 5 FAS speakers which were embedded amongst those of 5 speakers with a real foreign accent and 5 native speaker controls. The listening panels diff...

Sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) have emerged in developing Asia as a policy response to an unprecedented accumulation of foreign exchange (FX) reserves since 2000. At the same time, developing countries have become an increasingly important source of outward foreign direct investment (FDI). The central objective of this paper is to evaluate the prospects for SWFs to serve as a major conduit for t...

CONTEXT The foreign ingestion is common occurrence but migration to pancreas is rare entity. Most of foreign bodies pass spontaneously through the anus but about 1% can perforate the wall of stomach or duodenum to reach solid organ. Pancreatic foreign body can results in fatal complication. Pancreatic foreign body can be removed endoscopically or surgically. CASE REPORT We are reporting a cas...

In this paper we propose a general foreign equity option pricing framework that unifies the vast foreign equity option pricing literature and incorporates the stochastic volatility into foreign equity option pricing. Under our framework, the time-changed Lévy processes are used to model the underlying assets price of foreign equity option and the closed form pricing formula is obtained through ...
