widget: source_sentence: This paper aims to address the impact of a person's motivation to study entrepreneurship on their subsequent levels of performance in terms of the generation of business ideas, while taking into account the effect of student team behaviour. The paper hypothesises that both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation as well as team behaviour influence the learning outcome and that team behaviour moderates the relationship between motivation and learning outcomes. A survey was used to generate data. A total of students, who participated in pre-programme, and post-programme surveys, provided the sample data. First, explorative factor analyses were employed to examine the latent variables. Second, hierarchical lineal regression analyses were carried out to test the proposed hypotheses. Results show that intrinsic motivation has a negative effect on the learning outcome while extrinsic motivation had a positive one. However, the team (and in particular the resources that become available) positively moderates the relationship between the intrinsic motivation and the outcomes.
sentences: During recent years, the development of professional competencies is more frequently linked with the processes of performance, evaluation and career development of the human capital. Their formation requires focused actions to improve particular knowledge, skills and abilities. The analysis of the status and trends in the professional competences of the human capital in the agricultural sector in Bulgaria reveals a number of opportunities for their effective use and management. The purpose of this article is to outline the professional competences of the human capital in the agricultural sector by analysing and presenting the trends in their development. The study covers the period between January and November . It is based on data from polls specially designed for the purpose of the analysis, direct contacts, corporate documentation, etc. The interviews are applied to specify the data and information. The issues and prospects for the development of professional competences of the human capital in agriculture are presented and rated according to the responses received., Background: Phthalates are chemical compounds that have the tendency to migrate into food and beverages, thereby leading to negative health consequences. Aims: was to assess the knowledge of phthalates and practices relating to plastic use among adults residing in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, with an emphasis on cheese wrapped in plastic materials. Material and Methods: A total of adult participants completed an online questionnaire consisting of three sections ) socio-demographic characteristics, ) knowledge-related phthalates, and ) practices related to plastic use. All collected data were verified and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Results: Our findings revealed that % of the respondents had poor knowledge regarding plastics and phthalates with gender being a significant factor (p= ). The usage rate of plastic material was found to be remarkably high with % keeping the purchased cheese either in its original plastic wrapping or placed inside plastic boxes. Moreover, % never viewed the safe plastic number before purchasing the food products. However Interestingly enough, the type of plastics did not influence participant's decision-making process when it came down to purchasing or consuming cheese ( % & %, respectively). Respondents who had poor practice represented up to %, while those with poor knowledge and practice constituted %. However, no significant link between these two factors could be established. Conclusions: Poor awareness levels concerning phthalates along with imprudent usage rates for plastics were observed among adults living within Jeddah city's boundaries; thus, appropriate interventions aimed at raising awareness need implementation so as minimize exposure risks associated with this issue. Keywords: Phthalate, Plastic use, Cheese, Knowledge, Practice, Saudi Arabia., Aims: Chronic low-grade inflammation is an important cause of systemic insulin resistance and play a central role in the pathophysiology of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). This study aimed to investigate the correlation between neutrophil(N) in first-trimester pregnancy and the development of GDM. Methods: women with GDM and women without GDM were included in this retrospective study. Demographic, pregnancy variables, white blood cell(WBC), neutrophil(N) counts, Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio(NLR), clinical biochemical characteristics, delivery information were got from all subjects. Logistic regression analysis with forward stepwise selection were used to determine the independent risk factors for the development of GDM. Result: GDM patients had much higher level of blood glucose(BG), triglyceride(TG), fetal birth weight, WBC, N counts and NLR than women without GDM. There were significant positive association between N counts and -hour BG, hour BG, glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA0c), pregnancy body mass index(BMI), and homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance(HOMA-IR). Additionally, there were significant negative association between N and quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI) and low-density lipoprotein(LDL) cholesterol. After adjusting confounding variables, we found N counts was an independent factor for the development of GDM (OR = ; % confidence interval, to ), regardless the history of GDM (OR = for without GDM history). Conclusion: N counts in first-trimester pregnancy is closely associated with the development of GDM in pregnant women. Disclosure T. Sun: None. F. Meng: None. R. Zhang: None. Z. Yu: None. S.

sentences: Abstract Anti-CD00 monoclonal antibodies are widely used in clinical transplantation to prevent acute allograft rejection. Although their effects on T lymphocytes have been extensively studied, their impact on human dendritic cells (DC) has never been reported. Furthermore, the role of the IL- in DC functions has not yet been fully elucidated. In this study, we confirm that the stimulation of human monocyte-derived DC with LPS strongly induced the expression of CD00 and that LPS-matured DC also expressed the and chain of the IL-0R. We also showed that adding anti-CD00 monoclonal antibodies to LPS induced a decrease in IL- , IL- , TNF-, IL- , and IFN- production and an increase in IL- synthesis by DC compared with stimulation with LPS alone. Furthermore, we showed that these modifications diminished the T helper priming ability of DC and polarized the alloimmune response toward TH0. In contrast, humanized anti-CD00 monoclonal antibodies did not affect the up-regulation of CD00, CD00, CD00, HLADR, or CD00 induced upon LPS stimulation. Taken together, this study discloses some previously unrecognized effects of anti-CD00 monoclonal antibodies on DC that may contribute to their clinical efficacy. In addition, this study also shed some light on the role of the IL- in human DC activation., It is argued that setting one over zero to the upthorn symbol, elsewhere used to denote bottom, as is done in common meadows, is conceptually meaningful for elementary mathematics. We consider the arguments in its favour, for the restricted context of use in elementary arithmetic, to be stronger than arguments supporting one over zero equals zero, as in Suppes-Ono division and variants of it sometimes used in the model theory of fields as a branch of mathematical logic, or one over zero as an unsigned infinity, as proposed by Riemann and used in the design of wheel arithmetic, or one over zero as positive infinity, as in transrational arithmetic., ABSTRACT Background The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and associated risk factors for development of musculoskeletal pain among the dental students of 0rd, 0th year and interns, at MGM Dental College, Navi Mumbai. Materials and Methods A valid and reliable close ended questionnaire was administered to students of 0rd year, 0th year and interns who met the inclusion criteria. A response rate of % was achieved. The variables included in the questionnaire were ( ) presence of pain, ( ) awareness regarding correct posture, ( ) areas of the body affected by pain, ( ) clinical setting, ( ) practices to reduce pain. Statistical analysis was applied using Chi-square test. Results In this study, we found a total of % prevalence of musculoskeletal pain among the dental students. Eighty-one percent were unaware of the correct posture for dental clinical procedures. Statistical significance was observed between different clinical activities and musculoskeletal pain when Chi-square test was applied. Maximum pain was observed in the hand ( %) followed by wrist ( %) and lower back ( %). Sixty-three percent of the students having pain performed cervical flexions and torsions to improve vision of the oral cavity. Seventy-five percent of the students reported that they were uncomfortable with their current working stool. Five percent of the participants performed exercises after clinical practice of which none reported musculoskeletal pain. Conclusion Dental students are prone to development of musculoskeletal pain due to lack of awareness regarding correct posture, prolonged static postures, inadequate operating stools and lack of exercises.

J Contemp Dent ; ( ): - ., source_sentence: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of various factors on the extent of thermal coagulation necrosis after radiofrequency (RF) tissue ablation using a cooled-tip electrode in bovine liver.Materials and Methods: RF ablation was induced by a monopolar KHz-RF generator (CC- ; Radionics,Burlington, Mass., U.S.A.) and an -G cooled-tip with single or clustered electrodes. The ablation protocol involveda combination of varying current, ablation time, power output, gradual or abrupt increase of this out-put, and pulsed radiofrequency techniques. The maximum diameter of all thermal lesions which showed a color change was measured perpendicular to the electrode axis by two observers who reached their decisions by consensus. Twenty representative lesions were pathologically examined.Results: With increasing current lesion diameter also increased, but above mA no further increase was induced. Extending the ablation time to minutes for a single electrode and minutes for a clustered electrode increased lesion diameter until a steady state was reached. Higher power levels caused larger lesions, but above W no increase was observed. Ample exposure time coupled with a stepwise increase in power level induced a lesion larger than that resulting from an abrupt increase. Continuous pulsed RF with a high current led to increased coagulation necrosis diameter.Conclusion: These experimental findings may be useful thermotherapy. The data suggest that all involved factors significantly affect lesion size: if the factors are better understood, cancer thermotherapy can be better controlled.
sentences: Purpose: We wanted to evaluate the levels of effect and safety of high-intensity focused ultrasound ablation (HIFU) for treating patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. Materials and Methods: Nineteen sessions of HIFU, with the patients under general anesthesia, were performed in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. The change of the gray-scale of the target lesion was analyzed during HIFU, and MRI was performed before and after HIFU. We assessed the extent of coagulative necrosis, the change of pain and the complications after HIFU. The change of tumor size and the survival of patients were also evaluated. Results: The average size of tumor was cm in diameter. Eighty nine percent of the target tumors showed increased echogenicity. On MRI, necrosis of the entire target tumor occurred in % of the patients. After treatment, effective pain relief was noted in % of the patients. There were no major complications. No size increase of the treated tumor was noted during weeks of follow-up for patients. Six patients among patients who were available for follow-up are still alive and they are receiving chemotherapy. Six patients expired due to other disease or progression of metastasis. Conclusion: HIFU is a safe method without any major complications, and it is effective for inducing tumor necrosis and achieving pain control for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer., Magnetic polyacrylic cation exchange resins NDMC and magnetic polyacrylic anion exchange resins NDMP were applied for the treatment of composite pollutants composed of Cu(II), Ni(II) and tannic. The most efficient method was the combined process of NDMC and NDMP(named as NDMC+NDMP). NDMC+NDMP method can remove Cu(II), Ni(II) and tannic from composite pollutants simultaneously, and the removal efficiency of Cu(II), Ni(II) and tannic reached %, % and %, respectively. Through further analysis of behaviors of pre-load experiments and simultaneous removal experiments, the results showed that there were two ways in simultaneous removal of heavy metal ions and DOM, including adsorption of Metal-DOM complex by magnetic particle and complexation between DOM and heavy metal ions loaded on solid phase, and the former was the main mechanism., The African startup ecosystem has emerged as a dynamic driver of innovation and economic growth, addressing local challenges and contributing to global markets.

This paper explores strategies to build resilience among African startups by harmonizing regulatory compliance with business innovation. It highlights the importance of financial, operational, and cultural adaptability as key factors for sustainability, emphasizing the role of partnerships, technology, and supportive policy frameworks in fostering growth. Recommendations for policymakers include simplifying regulatory frameworks, promoting digital transformation, facilitating funding access, and fostering regional integration. By adopting a balanced approach to compliance and innovation, African startups can strengthen their capacity to navigate challenges and leverage opportunities, ultimately driving inclusive and sustainable development across the continent., source_sentence: This study examined the effect of pictorial cues on Iranian pre-intermediate EFL learners' speaking accuracy and fluency. To do this study, Iranian pre-intermediate EFL learners were selected out of students in a private English Language Institute. The selected participants were divided into two equal groups; experimental group and control group. After that, both groups were pretested by a speaking pre-test. The experimental group was taught through using the pre-speaking strategies as the researcher provided students with pictorial inputs. On the other hand, the students of the control group were taught through traditional speaking activities including repetition and over-learning. The treatment took sessions of minutes each under the guidance of the supervisor. In the first session, the participants were homogenized. In the second session, they were pretested. During sessions, students were taught by using pictorial input, and in the last session after the treatment the two groups took the speaking post-test. The results of paired t-test and MANOVA revealed that the experimental group had better performance on their accuracy and fluency post-test compared to their pre-test. The results also showed that the experimental group outperformed the control group on the accuracy and fluency post-test. Finally, implications arising from the findings and suggestions for further research were explained.
sentences: Toward the end of World War I and during World War II, whole-blood transfusions were the primary agent in the treatment of military traumatic hemorrhage. However, after World War II, the fractionation of whole blood into its components became widely accepted and replaced whole-blood transfusion to better accommodate specific blood deficiencies, logistics, and financial reasons. This transition occurred with very few clinical trials to determine which patient populations or scenarios would or would not benefit from the change. A smaller population of patients with trauma hemorrhage will require massive transfusion (> U packed red blood cells in h) occurring in % to % of civilian and % of military traumas. Advocates for hemostatic resuscitation have turned toward a ratio-balanced component therapy using packed red blood cellsfresh frozen plasmaplatelet concentration in a : : ratio due to whole-blood limited availability. However, this "reconstituted" whole blood is associated with a significantly anemic, thrombocytopenic, and coagulopathic product compared with whole blood. In addition, several recent military studies suggest a survival advantage of early use of whole blood, but the safety concerns have limited is widespread civilian use. Based on extensive military experience as well as recent published literature, low-titer leukocyte reduced cold-store type O whole blood carries low adverse risks and maintains its hemostatic properties for up to days. A prospective randomized trial comparing whole blood versus ratio balanced component therapy is proposed with rationale provided., Purpose This article aims to explore recent trends in farmland rental markets using data for the state of Illinois. Trends in the types of rental agreements used and the relationship between the rental rate for those contracts, land values, crop revenues, production costs, and farm returns are examined. Design/methodology/approach Data from various sources and at different levels of aggregation for the state of Illinois are used to provide illustrations of historical trends in farmland rental agreements and rental rates, and how they are related to various market and industry factors. Focus is placed on the more recent period since characterized by high commodity price levels and volatility. Findings The majority of farmland in the Midwest is controlled under rental agreements which are increasingly of the fixed cash rent type. Rental rates have increased, but at a slower rate than farm returns. Average rental and interest rates imply that land values are consistent with the current market environment. Aggregate rental rates mask considerable variation in farmlevel rents, only a portion of which can be explained by differences in soil productivity. Given the current level of price volatility, the tenure position of a farm operation has a significant effect on downside risk exposure. Originality/value The illustrations provided in this paper should be of interest to researchers working in the area of farmland values and rental agreements, as well as to practitioners including farmers, landowners, and professional farm managers. The findings should motivate additional research and recognition of the importance of tenure position to the performance and risk exposure of grain farms., This study investigates the blind spots in Sinclair and Coulthard's revised classroom discourse (CD) structure of Teacher's Initiation, Students' Response and Teacher's Feedback (IRF). The study suggests the Initiation ( ), Response ( ) and Feedback ( ) (IIRRFF) pattern which may be suitable for today's CD. This pattern permits equal contributions by classroom participants. The study adopts a quantitative method for data collection; a qualitative-descriptive research design and Information Processing Theory (IPT). Data were collected through a questionnaire distributed to English lecturers and students from three tertiary institutions in Nigeria. The results show a high percentage of participants who confirmed that Sinclair and Coulthard's IRF model has blind spots; % of the respondents agreed that the model may lead to a limited understanding of what is taught; % agreed that dual initiations and feedback are rejected in this model, and % strongly agreed that the model should be expanded to accommodate other fields of language learning. The study recommends that CD should be categorized into two major types: the teacher's utterances and the students' utterances. The IIRRFF pattern that allows teachers and students to have equal slots in every CD should be implemented. This will encourage students' full participation and interaction., source_sentence: Abstract The movement toward open education is requiring educators to expand and update their practice in order to keep up with the new demands being placed on them. This study explored how educators can engage in meaningful learning opportunities, which will facilitate the creation of expertise and knowledge, through the use of open education resources (OER). The article describes the design of the instrument employed to measure workplace learning through OER activity of adult educators ( n = ) and to report its internal reliability and convergent validity. Results indicate engagement with OER promote three levels of learning, each connected to the different types of knowledge educators require to integrate OER into their teaching practice.
sentences: Abstract We aimed to analyse postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) incidence and risk factors in elderly adults who underwent surgery for oral malignancies. A total of elderly patients (aged years) were selected for expanded resection of oral malignancy and cervical lymphatic dissection at our institution from December to December . Participants were cognitively evaluated using the neuropsychological test scale day before and days after surgery to determine whether they had developed POCD. Based on whether POCD occurred days after surgery, patients were classified into the POCD and non-POCD groups. Logistic regression was applied to perioperative factors to analyse the risk factors for POCD onset. Seven days after surgery for oral malignancy, there were ( %) POCD morbidities. Multiple factor logistic regression analysis revealed that venerable age (odds ratio [OR] = , % confidence interval [CI] .000, P < ), low education levels (OR = , % CI .000, P < ), hypertension (OR = , % CI .000, P < ), dyssomnia (OR = , % CI .000, P < ), prolonged anaesthesia (OR = , % CI .000, P < ), and intraoperative hypotension (OR = , % CI .000, P < ) increased the POCD risk in elderly patients who underwent surgery for oral malignancies. Venerable age, low knowledge reserve, hypertension, dyssomnia, prolonged anaesthesia, and intraoperative hypotension are independent risk factors for POCD in elderly patients with oral malignancies., Abstract OVERVIEW: This paper provides an overview of some fundamental aspects of electrochemical oxidation and gives updated information on the application of this technology to wastewater treatment. In recent years, electrochemical oxidation has gained increasing interest due to its outstanding technical characteristics for eliminating a wide variety of pollutants normally present in wastewaters such as refractory organic matter, nitrogen species and microorganisms. IMPACT: The strict disposal limits and health quality standards set by legislation may be met by applying electrochemical oxidation. However, treatment costs have to be cut down before fullscale application of this technology. Deployment of electrochemical oxidation in combination with other technologies and the use of renewable sources to power this process are two steps in this direction. APPLICATIONS: Effluents from landfill and a wide diversity of industrial effluents including the agroindustry, chemical, textile, tannery and food industry, have been effectively treated by this technology. Its high efficiency together with its disinfection capabilities makes electrooxidation a suitable technology for water reuse programs. Copyright ©️ Society of Chemical Industry, Abstract Predictors of academic success at university are of great interest to educators, researchers and policymakers. With more students studying online, it is important to understand whether traditional predictors of academic outcomes in facetoface settings are relevant to online learning. This study modelled selfregulatory and demographic predictors of subject grades in online and facetoface undergraduate students. Predictors were effort regulation, grade goal, academic selfefficacy, performance selfefficacy, age, sex, socioeconomic status (SES) and firstinfamily status. A multigroup path analysis indicated that the models were significantly different across learning modalities. For facetoface students, none of the model variables significantly predicted grades. For online students, only performance selfefficacy significantly predicted grades (small effect). Findings suggest that learner characteristics may not function in the same way across learning modes. Further factor analytic and hierarchical research is needed to determine whether selfregulatory predictors of academic success continue to be relevant to modern student cohorts. Practitioner Notes What is already known about this topic Selfregulatory and demographic variables are important predictors of university outcomes like grades. It is unclear whether the relationships between predictor variables and outcomes are the same across learning modalities, as research findings are mixed. What this paper adds Models predicting university students' grades by demographic and selfregulatory predictors differed significantly between facetoface and online learning modalities. Performance selfefficacy significantly predicted grades for online students. No selfregulatory variables significantly predicted grades for facetoface students, and no demographic variables significantly predicted grades in either cohort. Overall, traditional predictors of grades showed no/small unique effects in both cohorts. Implications for practice and/or policy The learner characteristics that predict success may not be the same across learning modalities. Approaches to enhancing success in facetoface settings are not automatically applicable to online settings. Selfregulatory variables may not predict university outcomes as strongly as previously believed, and more research is needed.
