BACKGROUND In the period 1997-2005, the Danish government initiated a series of legislative changes aimed at facilitating RTW (return to work) in the Danish population. In the present study, we investigated the odds of being gainfully occupied ca. two years after stroke as a function of onset calendar year, 1996-2006. METHODS All previously employed 20-57 year-old stroke patients in Denmark 1...

Article, “Effect of the Italian Smoking Ban on Population Rates of Acute Coronary Events” To the Editor: We read with great interest the article by Cesaroni et al1 that was recently published Circulation. In their article, the authors reported a significant reduction of 11.2% in acute coronary events in Rome after the introduction of a new law banning smoking in public places. This article show...

This paper uses data envelopment analysis (DEA) to examine the technical, pure technical, and scale efficiencies of 12 branches of the agricultural bank in Guilan province, Iran over the period of 2012-2016. The first results indicated that scale inefficiency contributed more to overall technical inefficiency than pure technical inefficiency over the studied period. Results of return to scale r...

This paper aims to study the effect of herding on buy and hold, momentum and contrarian strategy. In this research, the cross-sectional absolute deviation is used to identify herding behavior in twenty industries in Tehran stock market. It is observed that the down and boom periods had more industries with herding. Moreover, the weak herding is more common than the strong herding in this market...

Practice can dramatically reduce dual-task interference, but typically does not eliminate interference entirely. Residual interference after practice is especially large with certain non-preferred modality pairings (e.g., auditory-manual and visual-vocal). Does this residual interference imply the existence of a persistent central-processing bottleneck? To address this question, we transferred ...

In this research, the controversial issue of whether the central bottleneck can be bypassed through task automatization was investigated. To examine this issue, participants received six single-task practice sessions with an auditory-vocal task (low vs. high pitch). We then assessed dual-task performance using the analytically tractable psychological refractory period (PRP) paradigm, in which t...

The authors examined the role of online order control in the psychological refractory period (PRP) paradigm. In the first 2 experiments, participants switched between color-letter and letter-color orders so that subtask order was isolated as the only element being switched. The results indicated that order switching impaired the 2 PRP responses and modulated the PRP effect. Importantly, these e...
