Note on the bi-risk discrete time risk model with income rate two by Andrius Grigutis, Artur Nakliuda

“…More precisely, the possibility for the stochastic process $u+2t-{\textstyle\sum _{i=1}^{t}}{X_{i}}-{\textstyle\sum _{j=1}^{\lfloor t/2\rfloor }}{Y_{j}}$, $u\in \mathbb{N}\cup \{0\}$, to stay positive for all $t\in \{1,\hspace{0.1667em}2,\hspace{0.1667em}\dots ,\hspace{0.1667em}T\}$, when $T\in \mathbb{N}$ or $T\to \infty $, is considered, where the subtracted random part consists of the sum of random variables, which occur in time in the following order: ${X_{1}},\hspace{0.1667em}{X_{2}}+{Y_{1}},\hspace{0.1667em}{X_{3}},\hspace{0.1667em}{X_{4}}+{Y_{2}},\hspace{0.1667em}\dots $ Here ${X_{i}},\hspace{0.1667em}i\in \mathbb{N}$, and ${Y_{j}},\hspace{0.1667em}j\in \mathbb{N}$, are independent copies of two independent, but not necessarily identically distributed, nonnegative and integer-valued random variables X and Y. …”

The inverse theorem for the $U^3$ Gowers uniformity norm on arbitrary finite abelian groups: Fourier-analytic and ergodic approaches by Asgar Jamneshan, Terence Tao

“…The authors give two proofs. One follows the basic contours of the Green-Tao proof for groups of odd order, but at a certain point it adds a crucial extra step that is largely algebraic -- passing from an algebraic structure that appears in the Green-Tao argument and obtaining from it in a non-obvious way a different algebraic structure that is more useful. …”

Is PONV still a problem in pediatric surgery: a prospective study of what children tell us by Brigitte Messerer, Marko Stijic, Marko Stijic, Andreas Sandner-Kiesling, Johanna M. Brillinger, Jasmin Helm, Jacqueline Scheer, Christof Stefan Strohmeier, Alexander Avian

“…Considering the high prevalence among pediatric patients, it is important to explore the main risk factors leading to PONV in order to optimize treatment strategies. The objectives of this study are as follows: (1) to determine the prevalence of PONV on the day of surgery by conducting interviews with pediatric patients, (2) to assess PONV prevalence in the recovery room and on the ward by analyzing nursing records, and (3) to collect information on PONV risk factors on the day of surgery and the following postoperative days. …”
