Objective:
Traumatic brain injury is one of several recognized risk factors for cognitive decline and neurodegenerative disease. Currently, risk scores involving modifiable risk/protective factors for dementia have not incorporated head injury history as part of their overall weighted risk calculation. We investigated the association between the LIfestyle for BRAin Health (LIBRA) risk score with odds of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) diagnosis and cognitive function in older former National Football League (NFL) players, both with and without the influence of concussion history.
Participants and Methods:Former NFL players, ages ≥ 50 (N=1050; mean age=61.1±5.4-years), completed a general health survey including self-reported medical history and ratings of function across several domains. LIBRA factors (weighted value) included cardiovascular disease (+1.0), hypertension (+1.6), hyperlipidemia (+1.4), diabetes (+1.3), kidney disease (+1.1), cigarette use history (+1.5), obesity (+1.6), depression (+2.1), social/cognitive activity (-3.2), physical inactivity (+1.1), low/moderate alcohol use (-1.0), healthy diet (-1.7). Within Group 1 (n=761), logistic regression models assessed the association of LIBRA scores and independent contribution of concussion history with the odds of MCI diagnosis. A modified-LIBRA score incorporated concussion history at the level planned contrasts showed significant associations across concussion history groups (0, 1-2, 3-5, 6-9, 10+). The weighted value for concussion history (+1.9) within the modified-LIBRA score was based on its proportional contribution to dementia relative to other LIBRA risk factors, as proposed by the 2020 Lancet Commission Report on Dementia Prevention. Associations of the modified-LIBRA score with odds of MCI and cognitive function were assessed via logistic and linear regression, respectively, in a subset of the sample (Group 2; n=289) who also completed the Brief Test of Adult Cognition by Telephone (BTACT). Race was included as a covariate in all models.
Results:The median LIBRA score in the Group 1 was 1.6(IQR= -1, 3.6). Standard and modified-LIBRA median scores were 1.1(IQR= -1.3, 3.3) and 2(IQR= -0.4, 4.6), respectively, within Group 2. In Group 1, LIBRA score was significantly associated with odds of MCI diagnosis (odds ratio[95% confidence interval]=1.27[1.19, 1.28], p <.001). Concussion history provided additional information beyond LIBRA scores and was independently associated with odds of MCI; specifically, odds of MCI were higher among those with 6-9 (Odds Ratio[95% confidence interval]; OR=2.54[1.21, 5.32], p<.001), and 10+ (OR=4.55;[2.21, 9.36], p<.001) concussions, compared with those with no prior concussions. Within Group 2, the modified-LIBRA score was associated with higher odds of MCI (OR=1.61[1.15, 2.25]), and incrementally improved model information (0.04 increase in Nagelkerke R2) above standard LIBRA scores in the same model. Modified-LIBRA scores were inversely associated with BTACT Executive Function (B=-0.53[0.08], p=.002) and Episodic Memory scores (B=-0.53[0.08], p=.002).
Conclusions:Numerous modifiable risk/protective factors for dementia are reported in former professional football players, but incorporating concussion history may aid the multifactorial appraisal of cognitive decline risk and identification of areas for prevention and intervention. Integration of multi-modal biomarkers will advance this person-centered, holistic approach toward dementia reduction, detection, and intervention.

Objective:
Traumatic brain injury and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are modifiable risk factors for cognitive decline and dementia. Greater concussion history can potentially increase risk for cerebrovascular changes associated with cognitive decline and may compound effects of CVD. We investigated the independent and dynamic effects of CVD/risk factor burden and concussion history on cognitive function and odds of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) diagnoses in older former National Football League (NFL) players.
Participants and Methods:Former NFL players, ages 50-70 (N=289; mean age=61.02±5.33 years), reported medical history and completed the Brief Test of Adult Cognition by Telephone (BTACT). CVD/risk factor burden was characterized as ordinal (0-3+) based on the sum of the following conditions: coronary artery disease/myocardial infarction, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, sleep apnea, type-I and II diabetes. Cognitive outcomes included BTACT Executive Function and Episodic Memory Composite Z-scores (standardized on age- and education-based normative data), and the presence of physician diagnosed (self-reported) MCI. Concussion history was discretized into five groups: 0, 1-2, 3-5, 6-9, 10+. Linear and logistic regression models were fit to test independent and joint effects of concussion history and CVD burden on cognitive outcomes and odds of MCI. Race (dichotomized as White and Non-white due to sample distribution) was included in models as a covariate.
Results:Greater CVD burden (unstandardized beta [standard error]; B=-0.10[0.42], p=.013, and race (B=0.622[0.09], p<.001), were associated with lower executive functioning. Compared to those with 0 prior concussions, no significant differences were observed for those with 1-2, 3-5, 6-9, or 10+ prior concussions (ps >.05). Race (B=0.61[.13], p<.001), but not concussion history or CVD burden, was associated with episodic memory. There was a trend for lower episodic memory scores among those with 10+ prior concussion compared to those with no prior concussions (B=-0.49[.25], p=.052). There were no significant differences in episodic memory among those with 1-2, 3-5, or 6-9 prior concussions compared to those with 0 prior concussions (ps>.05). CVD burden (B=0.35[.13], p=.008), race (greater odds in Non-white group; B=0.82[.29], p=.005), and greater concussion history (higher odds of diagnosis in 10+ group compared to those with 0 prior concussions; B=2.19[0.78], p<.005) were associated with higher odds of MCI diagnosis. Significant interaction effects between concussion history and CVD burden were not observed for any outcome (ps >.05).
Conclusions:Lower executive functioning and higher odds of MCI diagnosis were associated with higher CVD burden and race. Very high concussion history (10+) was selectively associated with higher odds of MCI diagnosis. Reduction of these modifiable factors may mitigate adverse outcomes in older contact sport athletes. In former athletes, consideration of CVD burden is particularly pertinent when assessing executive dysfunction, considered to be a common cognitive feature of traumatic encephalopathy syndrome, as designated by the recent diagnostic criteria. Further research should investigate the social and structural determinants contributing to racial disparities in long-term health outcomes within former NFL players.

Objectives:
Subjective cognitive difficulties (SCDs) are associated with factors commonly reported in older adults and former contact sport athletes, regardless of objective cognitive decline. We investigated the relative contribution of these factors to SCD in former National Football League (NFL)-players with and without a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
Methods:Former NFL players (n = 907) aged ≥ 50 years (mean = 64.7 ± 8.9), with (n = 165) and without (n = 742) a diagnosis of MCI completed health questionnaires. Multivariable regression and dominance analyses determined the relative importance of SCD factors on SCD: 1) depression, 2) anxiety, 3) sleep disturbance, 4) pain interference, 5) ability to participate in social roles and activities, 6) stress-related events, 7) fatigue, 8) concussion history, and 9) education. SCD outcomes included Neuro-QoL Emotional-Behavioral Dyscontrol and the PROMIS Cognitive Function. Fisher’s z-transformation compared comorbid contributing factors to SCD across MCI and non-MCI groups.
Results:Complete dominance of anxiety was established over most comorbid factors across the MCI and non-MCI groups. Fatigue also exhibited complete dominance over most comorbid factors, though its influence in the MCI group was less robust (general dominance). Average contributions to variance accounted for by comorbid factors to ratings of SCD across MCI and non-MCI groups did not statistically differ (Z-statistics <1.96, ps>.05).
Conclusions:Anxiety and fatigue are the most robust factors associated with SCD in former professional football players across various combinations of clinical presentations (different combinations of comorbid factors), regardless of documented cognitive impairment. Self-reported deficits may be less reliable in detecting objective impairment in the presence of these factors, with multidimensional assessment being ideal.

Recently, defaults have become celebrated as a low-cost and easy-to-implement nudge for promoting positive outcomes, both at an individual and societal level. In the present research, we conducted a large-scale field experiment (N = 32,508) in an educational context to test the effectiveness of a default intervention in promoting participation in a potentially beneficial achievement test. We found that a default manipulation increased the rate at which high school students registered to take the test but failed to produce a significant change in students’ actual rate of test-taking. These results join past literature documenting robust effects of default framings on initial choice but marked variability in the extent to which those choices ultimately translate to real-world outcomes. We suggest that this variability is attributable to differences in choice-to-outcome pathways – the extent to which the initial choice is causally determinative of the outcome.

IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts is a new accounting standard currently expected to come into force on 1 January 2023. It supersedes IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts. IFRS 17 establishes key principles that entities must apply in all aspects of the accounting of insurance contracts. In doing so, the Standard aims to increase the usefulness, comparability, transparency and quality of financial statements.
A fundamental concept introduced by IFRS 17 is the contractual service margin (CSM). This represents the unearned profit that an entity expects to earn as it provides services. However, as a principles-based standard, IFRS 17 results in entities having to apply significant judgement when determining the inputs, assumptions and techniques it uses to determine the CSM at each reporting period.
In general, the Standard resolves broad categories of mismatches which arise under IFRS 4. Notable examples include mismatches between assets recorded at current market value and liabilities calculated using fixed discount rates as well as inconsistencies in the timing of profit recognition over the duration of an insurance contract. However, there are requirements of IFRS 17 that may create economic or accounting mismatches of its own. For example, new mismatches could arise between the measurement of underlying contracts and the corresponding reinsurance held. Additionally, mismatches can still arise between the measurement of liabilities and the assets that support the liabilities.
This paper explores the technical, operational and commercial issues that arise across these and other areas focusing on the CSM. As a standard that is still very much in its infancy, and for which wider consensus on topics is yet to be achieved, this paper aims to provide readers with a deeper understanding of the issues and opportunities that accompany it.

SNP in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene is associated with risk of lower respiratory infections. The influence of genetic variation in the vitamin D pathway resulting in susceptibility to upper respiratory infections (URI) has not been investigated. We evaluated the influence of thirty-three SNP in eleven vitamin D pathway genes (DBP, DHCR7, RXRA, CYP2R1, CYP27B1, CYP24A1, CYP3A4, CYP27A1, LRP2, CUBN and VDR) resulting in URI risk in 725 adults in London, UK, using an additive model with adjustment for potential confounders and correction for multiple comparisons. Significant associations in this cohort were investigated in a validation cohort of 737 children in Manchester, UK. In all, three SNP in VDR (rs4334089, rs11568820 and rs7970314) and one SNP in CYP3A4 (rs2740574) were associated with risk of URI in the discovery cohort after adjusting for potential confounders and correcting for multiple comparisons (adjusted incidence rate ratio per additional minor allele ≥1·15, Pfor trend ≤0·030). This association was replicated for rs4334089 in the validation cohort (Pfor trend=0·048) but not for rs11568820, rs7970314 or rs2740574. Carriage of the minor allele of the rs4334089 SNP in VDR was associated with increased susceptibility to URI in children and adult cohorts in the United Kingdom.

Background
Our understanding of the complex relationship between schizophrenia symptomatology and etiological factors can be improved by studying brain-based correlates of schizophrenia. Research showed that impairments in value processing and executive functioning, which have been associated with prefrontal brain areas [particularly the medial orbitofrontal cortex (MOFC)], are linked to negative symptoms. Here we tested the hypothesis that MOFC thickness is associated with negative symptom severity.
MethodsThis study included 1985 individuals with schizophrenia from 17 research groups around the world contributing to the ENIGMA Schizophrenia Working Group. Cortical thickness values were obtained from T1-weighted structural brain scans using FreeSurfer. A meta-analysis across sites was conducted over effect sizes from a model predicting cortical thickness by negative symptom score (harmonized Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms or Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale scores).
ResultsMeta-analytical results showed that left, but not right, MOFC thickness was significantly associated with negative symptom severity (βstd = −0.075; p = 0.019) after accounting for age, gender, and site. This effect remained significant (p = 0.036) in a model including overall illness severity. Covarying for duration of illness, age of onset, antipsychotic medication or handedness weakened the association of negative symptoms with left MOFC thickness. As part of a secondary analysis including 10 other prefrontal regions further associations in the left lateral orbitofrontal gyrus and pars opercularis emerged.
ConclusionsUsing an unusually large cohort and a meta-analytical approach, our findings point towards a link between prefrontal thinning and negative symptom severity in schizophrenia. This finding provides further insight into the relationship between structural brain abnormalities and negative symptoms in schizophrenia.

1. The training of airmen for trades in the ground electronics engineering trade group of the Royal Air Force, and in the trade which maintains flight simulators and other synthetic aviation trainers, is carried out at No 1 Radio School which since the early 1950s has been based at RAF Locking near Weston-super-Mare, in the County of Avon. This paper explains the RAF's requirement for a trade dedicated to Synthetic Trainer maintenance and how the training of that trade was planned and implemented.
2. In the early days of flight simulators the equipment used—of the Link trainer variety—was relatively simple using electrical and electro-pneumatic techniques. Maintenance was undertaken by electricians who received specialist training on the type to which they were assigned. With the development of sophisticated aircraft electronic instrumentation, radar, communications and weapons systems after the Second World War, flight simulators increased in complexity and servicing tradesmen were drawn from a variety of trades which themselves gave experience in electronics which provided essential background to undertaking simulator maintenance. The seven trades which donated tradesmen are shown in Fig. 1 which illustrates the range of basic skills used.

This study is a subjective synthesis of the work of many academics, supervisors and practitioners on the topic of liquidity and many of its multiple aspects. It borrows heavily and freely from those works in the pursuit of coherence, as this subject can be both confused and confusing. Although many hypotheses, both established and speculative, are referred to, none is proposed in this paper. In order to be of possible use to a range of readers, it roams from the most basic and elementary to some of the most recent and advanced. In pursuit of brevity and readability, in many instances it can do little more than introduce a particular feature and leave further investigation to the reader. Liquidity is clearly a topic with much unfinished business. Our ambition in writing this paper is threefold: first, to raise awareness amongst actuaries of the wide-ranging implications for actuarial work of liquidity; second, to bring some coherence to the manifold measures and uses of the concept of liquidity by attempting to synthesise some of the key elements of knowledge today; finally, to highlight some of the more high profile and open questions relevant for actuarial work. This paper makes many references to behaviour during the crisis and its aftermath; however, it is not intended to be a forensic analysis of the crisis attributing causality. The crisis has simply served as an experiment during which many things became observable.

This paper describes the construction, refinement and implementation of a self-administered measure of personal hopefulness, the Hunter Opinions and Personal Expectations Scale (HOPES). Initial state and trait versions of the HOPES instrument were utilized in three separate studies, comprising a medical student sample (N = 211), an adolescent male sample (N = 280) and a psychiatric hospital staff sample (N = 318). A revised 20-item, two factor, trait version of the scale was then utilized in a prospective, longitudinal investigation (N = 753) of the psychosocial sequelae of the earthquake which struck Newcastle (Australia) in December, 1989. Data from all four studies provide strong support for the HOPES instrument's construct, concurrent and predictive validity. Global personal hopefulness (GPH) was shown to be an enduring characteristic of individuals, with a test–retest correlation of r = +0·71 (over 64 weeks). The association between GPH and trait anxiety (r = −0·64) raised the possibility of redefining anxiety as hope under threat. The hope subscale (HS) and the despair subscale (DS) were moderately negatively correlated (r = −0·32), suggesting that hope and despair are not simply polar opposites. There were no gender differences in GPH scores, however, there were relatively clear age effects, with those aged 70 years and over reporting the lowest levels of personal hopefulness. GPH was negatively correlated with post-earthquake scores on the General Health Questionnaire (r = −0·33), the Impact of Event Scale (r = −0·33), the Beck Depression Inventory (r = −0·54) and the global symptom index from the SCL-90-R (r = −0·43). Overall, the contribution made by personal hopefulness to post-earthquake morbidity was equal to the contributions made by initial exposure to disruption and threat experiences.
