![]() ![]() These were entirely different tests, so some translation to standard scores is needed. It would not make sense to directly compare Jagdeep’s test score of 20 in statistics with Jasmine’s test score of 45 in English. In English, however, the mean grade is a raw score of 40, and the standard deviation is 10. From the distance between Z-scores, we can surmise that the standard deviation in statistics is 5. Notice that in statistics, the mean grade is a raw score of 30. In addition to its position above or below the mean, a Z-score also communicates that score’s distance from the mean in terms of how many standard deviations away it is.įor example, with a mean of 65 and standard deviation of 3, the raw score 59 can be converted into a Z-score. A positive Z-score means that raw score is above the mean. A negative Z-score means that raw score is below the mean. This allows for precise comparison of a particular score to the rest of the scores in a dataset, and even across different datasets.Ī Z-score is just a raw score expressed in terms of its position relative to the mean and in terms of standard deviations. This will allow us to transform scores in any numeric dataset, using any scale, into a standard metric. In this chapter, we will learn how to use the statistics of the mean and standard deviation to generate standard scores, or Z-scores. The same is true of trying to compare numbers from different datasets. In fact, if you are a native speaker of English, you might have heard before “that’s like comparing oranges to apples,” meaning it’s impossible to compare. One is more tart, the other quite mild in flavour, so it is difficult to compare oranges and apples. Why? When we think about it, it is tough to directly compare them in terms of the property of sweetness. How sweet are these fruits? Is an apple sweeter? Or is an orange sweeter? What do you think? Is it difficult to say? Usually when I survey people with this question, there is a pretty even split, with half saying an apple is sweeter, and the other half saying the orange is sweeter. “Oranges” by Dious is marked with CC PDM 1.0 Have a look at these images: “Apple” by Open Grid Scheduler / Grid Engine is marked with CC0 1.0 In this chapter, we will address the topic of Z-scores, one type of what are commonly called standard scores.īefore we begin, we will examine a real world example of why standardizing scores is useful and important. ![]()

![]() ![]() DVT can also lead to the potentially fatal pulmonary embolism, when a piece of the clot breaks off and becomes lodged in the arteries to the lungs. (The same goes for car, bus or train journeys of over five hours.). DVT is also a potential side-effect (albeit rare) of taking the contraceptive pill, which makes DVT a slightly higher risk for female travellers on long flights. Long-haul flights can increase the risk of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT), a condition that results in potentially fatal blood clots, usually in the legs. Is deep vein thrombosis more of a risk if you are taking the pill? However, you should also use other means of contraception until you have taken 7 active pills in a row. However, if a pill is more than 24 hours late, take it as soon as you remember and keep taking pills at the usual time. If your pill is simply ‘late’ (less than 48 hours since the last dose) take the most recent missed pill as soon as you remember, and continue taking the remaining pills at your usual time. (A ‘late’ pill is deemed to be less than 24 hours, while a ‘missed’ pill is when more than 24 hours has passed.) Spotting, irregular periods, or even pregnancy may result if you are late or miss taking your contraceptive pill. They just need to be changed at the correct time. Contraceptives that are delivered at a constant dose, such as by injection, by implant or by vaginal ring, are not affected by illness or time zone changes. Your pill instruction leaflet will have more advice. If you get sick during your travels use extra contraception during the period of illness and for the following 7 days. A bout of traveller's diarrhoea or vomiting could mean your body does not absorb the active medication in the pill. Travellers' diarrhoea (TD) is the most common illness of travellers to developing countries, causing illness in up to 70% of those staying for two weeks or more. Will the pill still work if I become ill or get traveller’s diarrhoea? Here’s a time zone converter to help you work out the time difference. All you have to do is remember to take your pill as usual. Once on board, adjust your watch forward to the destination time and the next time you take a pill it will be 7pm – you’re normal time back home. On your day of departure you’ll be taking the medication at 1pm. Six days before you leave, start taking your pill an hour earlier each day. Say, for instance, that your destination is 6 hours behind the time at home and that you normally take the pill at 7pm. ![]() So, another option is to adjust to your destination’s time. But, that may not always be convenient if you’re travelling across a number of time zones. ![]() Some women take a second watch set to the time back home and stick to their normal pill-taking routine. If the time difference means you would have to take your pill in the middle of the night, take it before you go to bed instead of in the morning. The contraceptive pill must be taken every 24 hours and it’s better to take it early rather than late. How do I manage the change of time zones? Travel doctors get lots of questions from women about taking the contraceptive pill while travelling overseas.

As we say, we suspect that we would supply a very different account from Slavoj Žižek about the moral, conceptual, and political incapacities to which our “lack of red ink” condemns us. “Etc.” What do you suppose belongs in that capacious codicil? Hold that thought. But he touches on something essential when he observes that “What this lack of red ink means is that, today, all the main terms we use to designate the present conflict-‘war on terror,’ ‘democracy and freedom,’ ‘human rights,’ etc.-are false terms, mystifying our perception of the situation instead of allowing us to think it.” Nor are we confident that he understands this story in quite the same way we do. Let us acknowledge straight away that Slavoj Žižek, that beacon of polysyllabic academic leftism and menacing inscrutability, is not a thinker to whom we generally look for enlightenment or, indeed, for humor, except inadvertent. A friend called our attention to this classic specimen: In an old joke from the defunct German Democratic Republic, a German worker gets a job in Siberia aware of how all mail will be read by censors, he tells his friends: “Let’s establish a code: if a letter you will get from me is written in ordinary blue ink, it is true if it is written in red ink, it is false.” After a month, his friends get the first letter, written in blue ink: “Everything is wonderful here: stores are full, food is abundant, apartments are large and properly heated, movie theaters show films from the West, there are many beautiful girls ready for an affair-the only thing unavailable is red ink.” Generously represented are various chestnuts from the grim archive of totalitarian humor. Alert readers will recall a review by Christie Davies in our January issue of Slavoj Žižek’s book Žižek’s Jokes, a philosophically oriented chrestomathy of jests, anecdotes, fables, allegories, and one-liners (“Did you hear the one about Hegel and Negation?”).

![]() The resilience of euro area banks is largely attributable to the strength of their capital and liquidity buffers, under stringent regulatory and supervisory oversight. This is especially true for banks, which operate at the core of the system. Recent stresses in the US and Swiss banking sectors have served as a timely reminder of just how much the preservation of financial stability depends on the shock-absorption capacity of the financial system. In all of these challenges, the resilience of euro area banks has been noteworthy, but should not give way to complacency. Such turning is becoming increasingly evident in the real estate sector – in both commercial property markets, where a clear downturn is visible, and their residential counterparts, which are showing signs of correction after several years of expansion. Non-bank financial intermediaries remain heavily exposed to a turning financial cycle, despite ongoing de-risking. As financial conditions normalise, this may expose fragilities and fault lines in the financial system. Tighter financing conditions to forcefully address high inflation have contributed to a reappraisal of the economic outlook and to a reversal of overly-compressed asset price risk premia. Price stability remains as crucial as ever for durably preserving financial stability. While the fallout experienced by euro area banks was limited, these events have served as a powerful reminder of the importance of ensuring that banking system fundamentals are sound, in an environment where financial conditions are being tightened to tackle elevated inflation around the world. This spring saw considerable financial turbulence, with the spotlight increasingly turning on systemic risk concerns following a series of bank failures outside the euro area.
