TL;DR: Results indicate that hypertrophy training with ISR produces greater gains in strength and power, with similar gains in lean mass and MHC alterations as TRD, and the ISR may be best used in hypertrophic training for strength andPower sports.
Abstract: We sought to determine if hypertrophic training with intraset rest intervals (ISRs) produced greater gains in power compared with traditional rest (TRD) hypertrophic training. Twenty-two men (age 25 ± 5 years, height 179.71 ± 5.04 cm, weight 82.1 ± 10.6 kg, 6.5 ± 4.5 years of training) matched according to baseline characteristics were assigned to 12 weeks of training using TRD or ISR. Body composition, strength (1-repetition maximum [1RM] bench and squat), and power output (60% 1RM bench and squat, and vertical jump) were assessed at baseline, 4, 8, and 12 weeks. Determination of myosin heavy chain (MHC) percentage from the vastus lateralis was performed pretraining and posttraining. Body composition was analyzed by analysis of variance, whereas performance measures and MHC were analyzed by analysis of covariance with baseline values as the covariate. Data are presented as mean ± SD changes pre to post. The ISR produced greater power output in bench (TRD 32.8 ± 53.4 W; ISR 83.0 ± 49.9 W, p = 0.020) and vertical jump (TRD 91.6 ± 59.8 W; ISR 147.7 ± 52.0 W; p = 0.036) with squat power approaching significance (TRD 204.9 ± 70.2 W; ISR 282.1 ± 104.2 W; p = 0.053) after post hoc analysis (p < 0.10). The ISR produced greater gains in bench (TRD 9.1 ± 3.7 kg; ISR 15.1 ± 8.3 kg; p = 0.010) and squat (TRD 48.5 ± 17.4 kg; ISR 63.8 ± 12.0 kg; p = 0.002) strength. Both protocols produced significant gains in lean mass with no significant differences between groups (1.6 ± 2.1 kg; p = 0.869). The MHCIIx percentage decreased (-31.0 ± 24.5%; p = 0.001), whereas the MHCIIA percentage increased (28.9 ± 28.5%; p = 0.001) with no significant differences between groups. Results indicate that hypertrophy training with ISR produces greater gains in strength and power, with similar gains in lean mass and MHC alterations as TRD. The ISR may be best used in hypertrophic training for strength and power sports.

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of operating leases on debt ratings and the yield of new debt issues to that of balance sheet debt was investigated. And the authors found that operating leases are significantly less important than balance sheet debts for firm debt ratings.
Abstract: A commonly cited motivation for off-balance sheet financing is a reduction in reported book (balance sheet) leverage. Operating leases, the most common form of off-balance sheet financing, are required to be disclosed in financial statement footnotes, but limited disclosure complicates external evaluation of the effective amount of off-balance sheet debt. In this paper we investigate the market evaluation of operating leases. We compare the impact of operating leases on debt ratings and the yield of new debt issues to that of balance sheet debt We document three central findings. First, operating leases are significantly less important than balance sheet debt for firm debt ratings. Second, operating leases have the same impact as balance sheet debt on the yields of new bond issues. Combined, these findings indicate that while moving debt off-balance sheet may be useful in maintaining higher debt ratings, it does not fool the market, because bond yields reflect off-balance sheet obligations, despite their limited disclosure, in the same manner as balance sheet debt. Finally, the simple perpetuity approach to estimating operating lease debt appears to be most consistent with the market evidence. Using the perpetuity method, we estimate operating lease debt to be of comparable magnitude to balance sheet debt.

TL;DR: Using multiple regression, tests of moderation and mediation revealed that staff stress negatively predicted client participation in treatment, and two additional organizational measures--workload and influence--moderated the positive relationship between staff stress and burnout.

TL;DR: All simulation-based learning experiences begin with development of clearly written participant objectives, which are available prior to the experience, and identification of appropriate scenario, fidelity, and facilitation methods is crucial.
