Job stress is normal in our lifes today that could either positive or negative impression to the individual. Among the factors that contributed to the stress is the over workload, time constraints, bad relationship between teachers and students and principal support. Therefore it is crucial to know whether these same factors existing in contributing to job stress in the workplace in Malaysia. Thus, this study aims to identify factors that contribute to work stress among teachers in Malaysia. The population of this study are the teachers at a secondary school in Kluang, Johor. A total number of 148 questionnaires were distributed to the respondents. However only 116 can be used for data analysis. The level of job stress are at a moderate level. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22 for correlation analysis and multiple regression. The study also identified the relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable. Overall, this study has shown that time constraints and unhealthy relationships among teachers and students have a positive relationship and a significant impact on job stress among teachers. However the over workload and support from principal do not have a significant on the job stress among teachers
Incidence of Diagnostic Errors Among Unexpectedly Hospitalized Patients Using an Automated Medical History–Taking System With a Differential Diagnosis Generator: Retrospective Observational Study

Background Automated medical history–taking systems that generate differential diagnosis lists have been suggested to contribute to improved diagnostic accuracy. However, the effect of these systems on diagnostic errors in clinical practice remains unknown. Objective This study aimed to assess the incidence of diagnostic errors in an outpatient department, where an artificial intelligence (AI)–driven automated medical history–taking system that generates differential diagnosis lists was implemented in clinical practice. Methods We conducted a retrospective observational study using data from a community hospital in Japan. We included patients aged 20 years and older who used an AI-driven, automated medical history–taking system that generates differential diagnosis lists in the outpatient department of internal medicine for whom the index visit was between July 1, 2019, and June 30, 2020, followed by unplanned hospitalization within 14 days. The primary endpoint was the incidence of diagnostic errors, which were detected using the Revised Safer Dx Instrument by at least two independent reviewers. To evaluate the effect of differential diagnosis lists from the AI system on the incidence of diagnostic errors, we compared the incidence of these errors between a group where the AI system generated the final diagnosis in the differential diagnosis list and a group where the AI system did not generate the final diagnosis in the list; the Fisher exact test was used for comparison between these groups. For cases with confirmed diagnostic errors, further review was conducted to identify the contributing factors of these errors via discussion among three reviewers, using the Safer Dx Process Breakdown Supplement as a reference. Results A total of 146 patients were analyzed. A final diagnosis was confirmed for 138 patients and was observed in the differential diagnosis list from the AI system for 69 patients. Diagnostic errors occurred in 16 out of 146 patients (11.0%, 95% CI 6.4%-17.2%). Although statistically insignificant, the incidence of diagnostic errors was lower in cases where the final diagnosis was included in the differential diagnosis list from the AI system than in cases where the final diagnosis was not included in the list (7.2% vs 15.9%, P=.18). Conclusions The incidence of diagnostic errors among patients in the outpatient department of internal medicine who used an automated medical history–taking system that generates differential diagnosis lists seemed to be lower than the previously reported incidence of diagnostic errors. This result suggests that the implementation of an automated medical history–taking system that generates differential diagnosis lists could be beneficial for diagnostic safety in the outpatient department of internal medicine.
A computational framework for a bio-inspired mechanism of vernier hyperacuity

: In this paper, we present a bio-inspired computational framework for the hypothetical cooperation of the ocular drift and a place coding neural circuitry. The proposed bio-inspired mechanism can provide an explanation for the ability of primate vernier hyperacuity. Our starting point is a spatiotemporal model of the primate retinal P and M ganglion cells. First we show that in the central retina, the drift-induced movement moves the stimuli of preferred spatial frequency with a velocity that is optimal for P cells and almost "invisible" for the movement-sensitive M cells. Secondly, based on a presumed analogy between the owl's auditory system and a primate visual system we present a theory that visual hyperacuity can be originated to the detection of time delays between neural firing patterns. Third, we propose a possible neural model for the place coding circuitry. Our new theory may serve suggestions for further research.
Emulsion-Based Formulations for Delivery of Vitamin E: Fabrication, Characterization, in Vitro Release, Bioaccessibility and Bioavailability

ABSTRACT Vitamin E (VE) is an essential micronutrient and plays an important role in human health by supporting immune function and preventing chronic disease. However, VE is unlikely stable and susceptible to be degraded under environmental conditions. Delivery systems have been fabricated and reported as potential approaches for enhancing the stability and bioactivity of the nutraceuticals. The review focused exclusively on recent up to date progress for incorporating VE by emulsion-based delivery systems. Various technological approaches including high energy and low energy emulsification techniques for designing VE-loaded delivery vehicles were introduced, and commonly applied methods for evaluating the properties of the vehicles were described. The main in vitro studies for investigating the release of VE, bioaccessibility and overall bioavailability of the bioactive agent were demonstrated. Additionally, the co-encapsulation efficiency of VE and other bioactive substances were summarized. The knowledge and deeply understanding the relationship between VE and delivery system would be valuable for designing emulsion-based delivery vehicles that improve the bioavailability and efficacy of lipophilic nutraceuticals.

Mathematical modelling of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cell subtypes

Alteration in the tone of pulmonary arteries may lead to disease such as pulmonary hypertension often associated with major cardiac complications. This dysfunction is partly in the pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) where the excitation-contraction coupling is modified by ion channel behaviour to increase the contractile force. Mathematical models of systemic smooth muscle cells (SMCs) that incorporate electrophysiological and chemomechanical mechanisms to understand the underlying cellular physiology have been successfully employed. Models of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) are only beginning to emerge. Mathematical model prototyping with available experimental data and model investigation from different parameter values is a time-consuming and complex process.This thesis is concerned with the development and validation of mathematical models of excitation-contraction coupling in three types of PASMCs of the rat species, one homogeneous type originating from the distal pulmonary arteries and two from proximal pulmonary arteries. Some key novel additions from previous vascular SMC models include the distinct modelling of Ca2+ in the subplasmalemmal cytosolic region, incorporation of subunit-specific currents from the K+ channel family and a generic G-protein receptor model able to reproduce complex Ca2+ profiles. The main pulmonary and systemic arteries statistically differ in its response to phenylephrine in a wire myograph. The ionic currents of the models were validated against experimental data largely from rat species. The models replicate the recordings of Ca2+ and the resting potential (Em) profiles arising from agonist-induced cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) stimulation (G-protein activation), nifedipine, ryanodine, caffeine and niflumic acid. The distal PASMC model was sensitive to an increase in [Ca2+]i from G-protein activation although were less likely to reproduce Ca2+ oscillations than proximal PASMCs. The proximal models determined the likely proximal PASMC type in literature experiments recording [Ca2+]i and Em. I have developed software that enables other users to simulate Ca2+ and Em changes in SMC studies and the ability to parse a master file describing the mathematical model into different language formats to increase productivity. These models provide a foundation for further studies to better understand PASMC function in the context of normal physiology as well as pathological conditions.
Liquid condensate is a common state of proteins and polypeptides at the regime of high intermolecular interactions

Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) has emerged as a crucial biological mechanism for sequestering macromolecules (such as proteins and nucleic acids) into membraneless organelles in cells. Unstructured and intrinsically disordered domains are known to facilitate multivalent interactions driving protein LLPS. We hypothesized that LLPS could be an intrinsic property of proteins/polypeptides at their high intermolecular interaction regime. To examine this, we studied many (a total of 23) proteins/polypeptides with different structures and sequences for LLPS study using molecular crowder polyethylene glycol (PEG-8000). We showed that all proteins and even highly charged polypeptides (under study) can undergo liquid condensate formation, however with different phase space and conditions. Using a single component and combinations of protein multicomponent (co-LLPS) systems, we establish that a variety of intermolecular interactions can drive proteins/polypeptides LLPS.

This study examined the marital adjustment and communication styles among married adults in Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria. A descriptive survey design was adopted. The population consists of married adults in Ilorin, Kwara State. Two research questions were raised and four null hypotheses were postulated in the study. Data were collected using a questionnaire tagged ‘Relationship between Marital Adjustment and Communication Styles Questionnaire’ (RMACSQ). Data analysis was done using Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation (PPMC). The result obtained revealed that there was a high level of marital adjustment among married adults in Ilorin, Kwara State. Married adults in Ilorin Kwara State adopt good communication styles in marriage. There was no significant relationship between marital adjustment and communication styles of married adults in Kwara State based on age, gender and educational status. There was a significant relationship between marital adjustment and communication styles among married adults in Kwara State on the basis of years of marriage. Based on the findings of this study, it was recommended that seminars and conferences should be organized for married adults in other to enlighten them on the challenges of marital relationships. This would enable them to adjust and communicate better in their new home.
The Cultural Origins of Family Firms

What determines the prevalence of family firms? In this project, we investigate the role of historical family culture in the spatial distribution of family firms. Using detailed firm-level data from China, we find that there is a larger share of family firms in regions with a stronger historical family culture, as measured by genealogy density. The results are further confirmed by an instrumental variable approach and the nearest neighbor matching method. Examining the mechanisms, we find that entrepreneurs in regions with a stronger historical family culture: i) tend to have family members engage more in firms; ii) are more likely to raise initial capital from family members; iii) are more willing to pass on the firms to their children. Historical family culture predicts better firm performance due to a lower leverage ratio.
IMPACT OF REPEAL OF CONFERENCE ON EUROPEAN LINER MARKET

In September 2006 the European Council decided to repeal Regulation 4056/86 with effect from October 2008. The primary issue addressed in this study is the impact of repeal of block exemption in Europe on two major Europe-based trades – the United States/North Europe trade and the Far East/North Europe trade. This paper measures empirically the economic impact of the repeal of conference on competition of EU liner shipping. Adam Smith’s theory of joint products is adopted to examine the impact of the repeal after 2009. This paper considers head haul and backhaul container shipments as joint products. Two statistical equations are employed to reinterpret Smith’s condition of joint products. Analysis results using available information from 2010 through 2012 reveal that the EU’s repeal of conference produced a striking difference in how carriers react to deregulation reform in the two major Europe-based trade lanes.
The Selection of Claims in Securities Arbitration for Settlement: A Text-Based Analysis

This paper develops text-based measures of case strength and similarity using Statements of Claims filed in securities arbitration concerning investments in Puerto Rico municipal bonds to predict arbitration outcomes. We find that stronger customer claims and claims more similar to previous claims are more likely to settle than result in an award. These claims are also associated with higher total customer payout, including both settlements and awards. Our findings offer unique insights into the role of settlements as an alternative method of dispute resolution, and the selection bias associated with claims which result in an award.

Survey of Employability Skills Possessed by Undergraduates in Kwara State, Nigeria

Graduate unemployment has been a continual challenge in Nigerian society due to graduates’ inability to meet up with the current expectations of the labour market. These worries have been given serious attention in the present labour market. The employers, school authorities and policymakers continue to emphasize the importance of ‘employability skills’ in order for graduates to be fully equipped in meeting the challenges of an increasingly flexible labour market as these skills are rarely taught in the school. This study surveyed the employability skills possessed by undergraduates in Kwara state, Nigeria while the target population was undergraduates at the University of Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria. Specifically, the study investigated the level of employability skills, the perceived factors influencing the employability of undergraduates, the extent of self-development skills and job searching techniques as well as the interview skills possessed by undergraduates. Descriptive research based on survey design was employed. A sample of 353 students were drawn from a population of 4,362 students who participated as respondents. The Survey of Employability Skills of Undergraduates Questionnaire (SESUQ) was used as an instrument for data collection and the instrument's reliability coefficient of 0.82, 0.84, 0.86 and 0.76 were obtained via Cronbach Alpha. Frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation were employed for analysis. The results obtained signify that the employability level of undergraduates at the University of Ilorin was at an average level. Among others, a recommendation was made that the University management should, as a matter of urgency, create a graduate employability programme that includes such employability techniques as interview skills, job searching skills, entrepreneurial skills and self-development skills.
Impact of gastrointestinal differences in veterinary species on the oral drug solubility, in vivo dissolution, and formulation of veterinary therapeutics

Many gaps exist in our understanding of species differences in gastrointestinal (GI) fluid composition and the associated impact of food intake and dietary composition on in vivo drug solubilization. This information gap can lead to uncertainties with regard to how best to formulate pharmaceuticals for veterinary use or the in vitro test conditions that will be most predictive of species-specific in vivo oral product performance. To address these challenges, this overview explores species-specific factors that can influence oral drug solubility and the formulation approaches that can be employed to overcome solubility-associated bioavailability difficulties. These discussions are framed around some of the basic principles associated with drug solubilization, reported species differences in GI fluid composition, types of oral dosage forms typically given for the various animal species, and the effect of prandial state in dogs and cats. This basic information is integrated into a question-and-answer section that addresses some of the formulation issues that can arise in the development of veterinary medicinals.
Sociološka anketna raziskava Prenova stanovanjskih sosesk v Ljubljani – Savsko naselje

V prispevku predstavljamo klju~ne ugotovitve sociolo{ke anketne raziskave Prenova stanovanjskih sosesk v Ljubljani Savsko naselje. Osredoto~ila se je na mnenja in stali{~a stanovalcev o soseski ter predvidela njihove prihodnje stanovanjske preference. Klju~ni problem ob izrazitem nezaupanju tako do MOL kot tudi do interdisciplinarne skupine strokovnjakov, vklju~ene v raziskovalni projekt je predvsem finan~na nezmo`nost financiranja prenove stanovalcev ob hkratnem burnem zavra~anju mo`nosti sofinanciranja prenove z nadgradnjami in novogradnjami. Rezultati ankete ka`ejo, da se bo brez izvedene celovite prenove, ki bo vklju~evala tudi sprejemljivo finan~no-kreditno politiko, v naslednjem desetletju zmanj{ala kakovost vzdr`evanja ter s tem posledi~no padla vrednost nepremi~nin v soseski. The article presents some key findings of the sociological survey research Rehabilitation of housing estates in Ljubljana Savsko naselje. It focused on attitudes and opinions of the estate’s residents and estimated their future residential preferences. The key issue coupled with significant distrust of the local authority as well as the interdisciplinary group of experts conducting the research was above all the inability of the residents to finance rehabilitation, but also their vigourous resentment of any co-financing that would entail extensions or even new construction. The survey results show that, if the rehabilitation process is not undertaken comprehensively, including acceptable financialloan arrangements, in the next decade the quality of maintenance will drop and consequentially the value of property in the neighbourhood.
