TL;DR: The meaning of the terms "validity" and "utility" as they apply to psychiatric diagnoses is examined and it is important to distinguish between validity and utility in considering psychiatric diagnoses.
Abstract: OBJECTIVE: The meaning of the terms “validity” and “utility” as they apply to psychiatric diagnoses is examined METHOD: The authors discuss the concepts of validity, utility, and disease; review assumptions that have been made about mental disorders as disease entities; and examine the evidence that mental disorders are separated from one another and from normality by natural boundaries (zones of rarity) RESULTS: Despite historical and recent assumptions to the contrary, there is little evidence that most currently recognized mental disorders are separated by natural boundaries Researchers are increasingly assuming that variation in symptoms is continuous and are therefore questioning the validity of contemporary classifications CONCLUSIONS: It is important to distinguish between validity and utility in considering psychiatric diagnoses Diagnostic categories defined by their syndromes should be regarded as valid only if they have been shown to be discrete entities with natural boundaries that separat

TL;DR: This article examined the role of gold in the global financial system and found that gold is both a hedge and a safe haven for major European stock markets and the US but not for Australia, Canada, Japan and large emerging markets such as the BRIC countries.
Abstract: The aim of this paper is to examine the role of gold in the global financial system. We test the hypothesis that gold represents a safe haven against stocks of major emerging and developing countries. A descriptive and econometric analysis for a sample spanning a 30 year period from 1979 to 2009 shows that gold is both a hedge and a safe haven for major European stock markets and the US but not for Australia, Canada, Japan and large emerging markets such as the BRIC countries. We also distinguish between a weak and strong form of the safe haven and argue that gold may act as a stabilizing force for the financial system by reducing losses in the face of extreme negative market shocks. Looking at specific crisis periods, we find that gold was a strong safe haven for most developed markets during the peak of the recent financial crisis.
