Previous studies have rarely discussed the phenomenon of financially independent married young adults who live with their parents in Asia. This study examines the determinants of living with parents for married young adults who are the main financial provider by using samples of households at the national and regional levels (six municipal regions) in Taiwan. The empirical results reveal that housing affordability is a key factor for why married young adults continue to live with their parents. Due to concerns around housing affordability, married young adults are 1.3 times more likely to live with their parents in Taipei City which is the least affordable city in Taiwan, as opposed to those who do not have concerns around housing affordability as is the case for Tainan City, which is the most affordable region, in which the likelihood is only 1.07. While the education level of married young adults has a significantly positive effect on living with their parents in the Taipei metropolitan area, the opposite is true in the central and southern cities of Taiwan. An increase in the number of pre-school children will increase the likelihood of living with parents, except in Taipei City. The differences might be caused by the differences in the housing and labor markets in the examined cities. Furthermore, an increase in the number of co-residing grandparents or those who have more than one owner-occupied house will increase the probability of living with parents. The variables in this study might be also affected by the influence of traditional family culture and family wealth on the nest- leaving decision of married young adults.

In recent years courts in the common law world have been concerned with their protective jurisdiction in the area of medical treatment; for example, the rights and status of the unborn foetus, the withholding of treatment from handicapped children, sterilisation, the provision of contraception, and the availability of abortion in relation to healthy and handicapped children and young adults.

Abstract Background: We aim to study the profile, and pathological characteristics of sudden death in young in purpose of recommendations for prevention. Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study using autopsy data from the Department of Forensic Medicine of Monastir (Tunisia). A review of all autopsies performed for 28 years was done (August 1990 to December 2018). In each case, clinical information, and circumstances of death were obtained. A complete forensic autopsy and histological, and toxicological investigations were performed. We have included all sudden death in persons aged between 18 years and 35 years.Results: We collected 137 cases of sudden death during the studied period. The mean age of the studied population was 26.47 years. Almost 72% deaths were classified as cardiac death, and was due to ischemic heart disease in 32.32%. Sudden death was attributed to a pleuropulmonary cause in 7.4%, an abdominal cause in 6%, and from a neurological origin in 4.5%. The cause of sudden death in this group was not established by 9.5%.Conclusion: In this series, sudden death in young adults occurs mainly in a smoking male, aged between 18 and 24 years old, occurring at rest, in the morning, and early in the week. It is more common, especially in summer. Sudden death is most often the first manifestation of pathologies, especially unsuspected heart diseases. The predominance of cardiovascular causes is the common denominator of almost all studies reported in the literature. Our findings suggest that prevention of sudden death among young adults under the age of 35 years should also focus on evaluation for causes not associated with structural heart disease.

Abstract Abstract 2973 Poster Board II-948 Background: Elevated levels of procoagulants (FVII, FVIII, vWF) have been associated with cardiovascular disease, but whether they play a role in atherogenesis is unclear. Study of these factors in young adulthood, prior to clinically manifested disease, and years later when subclinical atherosclerosis has developed, might clarify these associations. The Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) Study provides an opportunity to examine this issue. Methods: Assays of FVII, FVIII, and vWF were performed in 1255 participants ages 23-37 (Year 7,Y7) and repeated at ages 38-50 (Year 20,Y20). Coronary artery calcification (CAC) prevalence and mean intimal-medial thickness (IMT) in the common carotid (CC) and internal carotid (IC) were measured at Y20. Prospective (Y7 clotting factors, Y20 CAC & IMT) and cross-sectional (Y20 clotting factors, Y20 CAC & IMT) analyses were performed. We also grouped participants according to whether they had one or more procoagulants in the highest tertile at Y7, Y20, or both, and evaluated their associations with subclinical disease. Results: Y7 levels of procoagulants (%), mean(SD) were: FVII 76(18), FVIII 102(38), and vWF 108(47). At Y20, all had increased by 40% to 55%, and CAC>0 was present in 20% of participants. After adjustment for age, the prospective analyses showed a trend of progressively greater CC thickness from the lowest to the highest tertile of FVII activity in the total group (P=0.007) and in whites (P=0.002) and men (P=0.015). Associations of FVII with IC thickness (0.82 mm to 0.84 mm) and the prevalence of CAC (18.6% to 23%) were weaker (P-trend, 0.1-0.3). Higher FVIII levels were associated with greater IC thickness in the total group, in whites, and in women (highest vs lowest tertile, P<0.05 for each comparison). No associations were seen with vWF. Cross-sectional analyses confirmed the association between FVII and carotid thickening, most strongly with the CC (P=0.002). Most associations were attenuated by multivariable adjustment (BMI, smoking, education, blood pressure, cholesterol, & CRP). Participants with FVII values in the highest tertile at Y7, Y20, or both had a higher prevalence of CAC and greater carotid thickening than those with values in the lowest tertile (P<0.05). Such associations were not observed with FVIII or vWF. Conclusion: FVII is a marker but not an independent risk factor for future atherosclerosis in young adults; FVIII is associated with IC thickening, and no associations were observed for vWF. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Cancer In Children

Chapter 1 introduces the topic of cancer in children, teenagers, and young adults. Cancer in children and young people is rare: less than 1% of total cancer incidence. There is a wide variety of tumour types, and these are often different from the common adult cancers. Leukaemia, brain tumours, and malignancies of embryonal origin are most common in younger children. Genetic predisposition is important. Environmental causes are less common than in adults. Treatments have improved significantly and, currently, about three out of four children and young people are cured of their cancer. Multimodality protocols including chemotherapy, surgery, and, more frequently now, biological treatment, in addition to selective use of more sophisticated radiotherapy techniques, is the norm. Increasing personalization of treatment based on risk stratification has allowed for improved cure rates with a reduction in treatment-related morbidity.

State Examination

Thirty-five hospitalized catatonic schizophrenic patients from Sri Lanka were compared with 22 patients in the U. K. and 13 in Canada. The phenomenology was established using the Present State Examination. Results suggest that ethnicity, chronicity of illness and reception of neuroleptic treatment may influence the lower prevalence of catatonic symptoms among the U.K. and Canadian schizophrenics. Onset of illness appears to be among young adults and mutism, stupor, mannerisms, stereotypes and negativism were the common catatonic symptoms observed.

AbstractDuring the last 20 years, the financial sector has undergone an unprecedented transformation due to new regulations and the implementation of several technological advancements. The combination of regulation and technology has brought about new financial processes that have fundamentally changed how financial market making is done. This paper studies the ethics of financial market making and its implications for one of the most controversial financial innovations of modern times, namely high-frequency trading (HFT). We claim that the Aristotelian distinction between natural chrematistics, which is aimed at serving the real economy, and unnatural chrematistics, whose ultimate purpose is wealth accumulation, can be a useful criterion to assess the ethics of financial market making and the goodness of an innovation as HFT, and how it can serve the common good of society. This approach can be defined as ‘purpose oriented’ or ‘purpose fulfillment’.

Basic Understanding

Intergenerational transmission of wealth is a long-standing component of society. With the current accelerated economic development, the forms of wealth transmission and the ways in which it affects individuals’ lives have gradually become more complicated. In this article, we explore the economic performance and basic flow patterns of intergenerational transmission. We first discuss the key factors of personal and family wealth accumulation. We then consider how social performance affects the phenomenon of intergenerational transmission and the macro-channels of the current transmission mode. Finally, while intergenerational transmission is widespread in society, its importance has not attracted widespread attention from socioeconomic researchers and this paper makes suggestions for further study of the phenom ena. Our main conclusion is that in current society, intergenerational transmission both directly and indirectly influences the lives of members of society in multiple ways, such as through income, employment and education. If a basic understanding of the phenomenon of intergenerational transmission can be established, it will assist people in making relevant decisions more scientifically and allow them to have a fairer life experience.
