The goal of creating, forming, and developing businesses in general and securities companies in particular, whose ultimate goal is profit, high and stable profitability is the goal of any company. However, due to their specific business lines, securities companies are affected by risks such as market risk (which is the value corresponding to the level of loss that may occur when the market price of assets currently owned and expected to be owned under the underwriting commitment fluctuates in an adverse direction); Payment risk (is the value corresponding to the level of loss that may occur when the counterparty is unable to make payment on time or deliver assets on time as committed; operational risk (is the value corresponding to the level of losses that may occur due to technical errors, system and business process errors, human errors in the operation process, due to lack of business capital arising from expenses and losses from investment activities, due to other objective reasons). The problem is how the securities company can balance the safety goal, limit the possible risks and at the same time still increase the ability of the enterprise profitability. In practice, there are many methods to measure risk, but one of the most widely accepted methods of predicting risk and bankruptcy today is Z-score of the US economist's - Edward I. Altman – a lecturer of New York University faculty member set. In the US, about 95% of bankruptcies are forecast from the Z-score one year before the closing date, but this rate drops to just 74% for 2-year forecasts. From the initial Z-index forecast, Professor Edward I. Altman has developed it into Z' and Z'' to be applicable to each type and industry of the business. The Z'' coefficient is similar to the S&P credit rating.

Abstract As the Age-Friendly Health System initiative moves across the US and around the world, not only do health system staff require education about the 4Ms, but older adults, caregivers, and families need education. Engaging and empowering the community about the 4Ms can improve communication, clarify and improve adherence to treatment plans, and improve patient satisfaction. Many methods for engaging the community in age-friendly care are currently in development. Initiated by Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)-funded Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Programs (GWEPs), Community Catalyst is leading the co-design of Age-Friendly Health System materials with older adults and caregivers. Testing these materials across the country in diverse populations of older adults and caregivers will yield open-source documents for local adaptation. Rush University Medical Center is testing a method for identifying, engaging, educating, and providing health services for family caregivers of older adults. This unique program integrates with the Age-Friendly Health System efforts in addressing all 4Ms for caregivers. The Bronx Health Corps (BHC) was created by the New York University Hartford Institute of Geriatric Nursing to educate older adults in the community about health and health behaviors. BHC developed a method for engaging and educating older adults that is replicable in other communities. Baylor College of Medicine adapted and tested the Patient Priorities Care model to educate primary care providers about how to engage older adults in conversations about What Matters to them. Central to the Age-Friendly movement, John A. Hartford Foundation leadership will discuss the implications of this important work.

Remotely Piloted Aircraft

How is gendered language utilised to position the United States in relation to target states to morally justify Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) strikes? State discourse of the US during the George W. Bush and Barrack Obama administrations projected an image of remotely piloted systems as mechanisms of masculine protection. US officials assert that RPAs not only protected Americans at home, they protected populations vulnerable to terrorist attack abroad. While the RPA itself was coded as masculine, RPA pilots are feminised because they are protected from battle while using the RPA. The RPA takes the position of the ultimate masculine protector and its operators become feminised in US rhetoric. The surveillant assemblage of pilot, RPA, and sensor-analytics systems sustaining the RPA, is examined through a rigorous discourse analysis of state officials’ statements during the Bush and Obama administrations. Statements are taken from a number of reputable publications including The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Al Jazeera, CNN, and BCC, among others. Statements are also taken from the report “Living Under Drones,” from the law schools of Stanford and New York University. This research begins to answer the question of how technology is gendered in relation to RPAs and RPA strikes.

Crystalline Medium

Modern reviews on crystal growth and defects in crystals overlook the fact that a significant portion of materials can spontaneously grow as single crystals with twisted and bent morphologies and curved crystal lattices. Twisted crystals can be found among all types of materials (molecular crystals, salts, minerals, high polymers, metals, and elements) crystallizing in any point and space group from all types of growth media (vapor, solution, gel, glass, melt, and solid state). Their size spans over more than six orders of magnitude ranging from nm where 3D character is equivocal, to cm or dm (some of the biggest natural crystals). Here are illustrated most important features of twisted crystals as well as an analysis of mechanisms that are responsible for this mysterious phenomenon [1]. In general, formation of a twisted crystal is a complex phenomenon involving with certain requirements for dissymmetry, isomorphism, and crystal chemistry. Also critical are processes at the crystal-medium interface as well as the elasticity and plasticity of the crystalline medium. As such, twisting is strongly controlled by morphology and symmetry of the growth face. It frequently requires impurities, sometimes in extremely low concentrations. The intensity of deformation is inversely proportional to the crystal size. The phenomenon is more common when the driving force for crystallization and the temperature are high. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the formation of unusual curved morphologies: axial dislocation in whiskers (Eshelby twist); surface stress in polymer lamellae; surface charge and spontaneous polarization in nanoribbons; inhomogeneous fields forming around a growing crystal; and internal stress created by an inhomogeneous impurity distribution. However, most of the mechanisms proposed are insufficiently developed and need further verification and elaboration.

Abstract Background Diabetes and hypertension disparities are pronounced among South Asians. There is regional variation in the prevalence of diabetes and hypertension in the US, but it is unknown whether there is variation among South Asians living in the US. The objective of this study was to compare the burden of diabetes and hypertension between South Asian patients receiving care in the health systems of two US cities. Methods Cross-sectional analyses were performed using electronic health records (EHR) for 90,137 South Asians receiving care at New York University Langone in New York City (NYC) and 28,868 South Asians receiving care at Emory University (Atlanta). Diabetes was defined as having 2 + encounters with a diagnosis of diabetes, having a diabetes medication prescribed (excluding Acarbose/Metformin), or having 2 + abnormal A1C levels (≥ 6.5%) and 1 + encounter with a diagnosis of diabetes. Hypertension was defined as having 3 + BP readings of systolic BP ≥ 130 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥ 80 mmHg, 2 + encounters with a diagnosis of hypertension, or having an anti-hypertensive medication prescribed. Results Among South Asian patients at these two large, private health systems, age-adjusted diabetes burden was 10.7% in NYC compared to 6.7% in Atlanta. Age-adjusted hypertension burden was 20.9% in NYC compared to 24.7% in Atlanta. In Atlanta, 75.6% of those with diabetes had comorbid hypertension compared to 46.2% in NYC. Conclusions These findings suggest differences by region and sex in diabetes and hypertension risk. Additionally, these results call for better characterization of race/ethnicity in EHRs to identify ethnic subgroup variation, as well as intervention studies to reduce lifestyle exposures that underlie the elevated risk for type 2 diabetes and hypertension development in South Asians.

Jerzy Grotowski

The legacy of Jerzy Grotowski twenty years after his death still presents a powerful challenge for theatre-makers, not only in experimental theatre, and theoreticians – which is also how it was during his life. This retrospect by Juliusz Tyszka on the Grotowski seminar organized by Robert Findlay and Robert Taylor for the Program in Educational Theatre, at New York University in February 1993, is a testimony to his achievements, offering insights into the opinions and reflections of American artists, critics, and scholars on the importance of Grotowski, and the impact of his theatrical output both on world theatre, and specifically in the US. Tyszka sets their views within the Polish background he shares with Grotowski. The climax of the seminar in a meeting with Grotowski himself, following a film recording of The Constant Prince, is fully described. In 1992/93 Juliusz Tyszka was a Fulbright visiting scholar in the Department of Performance Studies at NYU. He is an advisory editor of NTQ and a regular contributor to the journal. Since 2008 he has been Head of the Unit of Performance Studies, Institute of Cultural Studies, Adam Mickiewicz University at Poznań, Poland.
