[Oliver Sacks]' talk the next morning at NHC was titled "On Deviation From the Human Mean." On the question of society's and the medical establishment's stigmatization of people who differ from the norm, he said, "A whole new vocabulary has come in, which sort of turns the tables on pathologizing; so there are autistic people, who are tired of being called 'pathological,' who refer to everyone else, the non-autistic, as 'neurotypical.' Another heavy hitter of academe, K. Anthony Appiah, also spoke Friday morning. He's lately made a name for himself in the popular press as one of the foremost dissectors of "trolleyology," which involves hypothetical scenarios of runaway trolleys squashing various hapless victims (the extensive trolley literature "makes the Talmud look like Clifts Notes,...
Traditional quantitative methods used in finance, developed to control market risks accumulated by human traders, do not incorporate quality control. Finance is moving from manual to computer numerical control (CNC). The authors view trading systems that employ CNC as machines with variable outputs-outputs that can be inspected using statistical process control (SPC). Using a sample trading system, they find that quality metrics generate an investment signal contrary to that generated by the traditional metrics of finance. To manage trading machines, SPC can be used in conjunction with classical financial metrics to control risk in systematic trading and investment.

Research in healthcare operations has grown in interest and importance over the last decade, as the healthcare environment continues to become more complex and challenging. This study investigates the relationships among organizational culture, knowledge management, and patient safety performance. Drawing on existing literature, the authors develop and test a model for patient safety performance using data from a nationwide survey of more than 200 hospitals. Structural equation modeling is used to provide empirical support for the model. In particular, they find that different dimensions of organizational culture are related to more effective knowledge management, which in turn is associated with better patient safety performance. The authors conclude by discussing the major implication...

Since the turn of this Century, there has been a decided investment bias towards value over growth in the selection of stock portfolios by investors. Growth portfolios have lagged considerably. This could be due to the change in the risk orientation of investors. It could also be due to the fact that growth portfolio construction has remained fixated on ex-ante growth prospects without taking into account this possible shift in investor psychology, especially after 9/11. One of the most important papers in the origin of Modern Portfolio Theory, authored by Barr Rosenberg, decomposed the then-relatively unexplored concept of beta of the Capital Asset Pricing Model. This paper re-explores this extremely important initial academic work to see whether its conclusions could be applied to the...
