The aim —  to determine the discriminative potency of new original scale of prognosis of poor clinical outcomes after ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in patients with complete revascularization.Materials and methods. From entire population of STEMI patients (n = 268) we enrolled 177 individuals who underwent complete revascularization with the use of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Blood flow through the culprit artery was restored at TIMI III level. During hospital admission, patients underwent clinical evaluation, coronary angiography, echocardiography and Dopplerography, the degree of risk was determined using TIMI, SYNTAX and GRACE scales, and the level of biomarkers (circulating and genetic) were assessed. Combined clinical end point, which included CV death, recurrent angina/ myocardial infarction, newly diagnosed heart failure and hospitalization for cardiovascular reasons were determined for 6 months of follow‑up.Results and discussion. Combined end point was determined in 75 (40.6 %) patients: newly onset of heart failure was reported in 46 patients (26.0 %), CV death occurred in 12 (6.8 %) patients, major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) were determined in 58 (32.8 %) patients, recurrent hospitalization due to CV reasons was fixed in 17 (9.6 %) patients. Multivariate log‑regression analysis corrected for the severity of coronary atherosclerosis showed that C786C genotype of eNOS gene, Val66Met + Met66Met genotype of the brain‑derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), A1166C + C1166C genotype of angiotensin‑II receptor type 1 (ATІІR1), macrophage inhibitory factor (MIF), vascular endothelial growth factor‑A (VEGF‑A), soluble tumorigenesis‑2 suppressor (sST2) showed more significant predictive value compared to the standard model. Models based on the use of 4 — 6 biomarkers had advantages over those based on the use of 1 — 3 biomarkers in the prediction of a combined endpoint (Log‑rank test = 0.0341; odds ratio 0.4796; 95 % confidence interval 0.2430 — 0.9465). A model for predicting adverse events was developed based on the presence of C786C genotype of eNOS gene, (А1166С + С1166С) of ATІІR1 gene, serum sST2 ≥ 35 pg/ml, VEGF‑A ≤ 172 pg/ml and MIF ≥ 2792.7 pg/ml. Patients with STEMI who had a score higher than the median (> 5 points) had a statistically significantly worse prognosis than individuals with a lower score.Conclusions. The proposed predictive model of adverse endpoints after STEMI had better discriminative ability than the standard model.

Published: March 2020

The theory of multiple-intelligences initiated by Howard Garner because of dissatisfaction with the education system, which introduced the intelligence quotient test system. The multiple-intelligences philosophy has changed the face of education today because it eliminates the distinction provided by schools to students. The multiple intelligences theory emphasizes that each is different and cannot be forced to be equal. This paper aims to discuss multiple-intelligences on student performance tests in 1st High School Tana Toraja. The author provides performance tests and questionnaire instruments to respondents. The results of the performance test and questionnaire instruments which had completed the performance tests and questionnaire instruments. The results showed that the students of 1st High School Tana Toraja were not optimal in using their intelligence to develop their potential. The reason is that students do not understand clearly the type of multiple-intelligence. Students are not interested in improving their type of multiple-intelligence and are more interested in developing other intelligence potentials.

Published: March 2020

Objectives: The January 2020 outbreak of coronavirus has once again thrown the vexed issue of quarantine into the spotlight, with many countries asking their citizens to ‘self-isolate’ if they have potentially come into contact with the infection. However, adhering to quarantine is difficult. Decisions on how to apply quarantine should be based on the best available evidence to increase the likelihood of people adhering to protocols. We conducted a rapid review to identify factors associated with adherence to quarantine during infectious disease outbreaks.Study design Rapid evidence review.Methods: We searched Medline, PsycINFO and Web of Science for published literature on the reasons for and factors associated with adherence to quarantine during an infectious disease outbreak.Results: We found 3163 papers and included 14 in the review. Adherence to quarantine ranged from as little as 0 up to 92.8%. The main factors which influenced or were associated with adherence decisions were the knowledge people had about the disease and quarantine procedure, social norms, perceived benefits of quarantine and perceived risk of the disease, as well as practical issues such as running out of supplies or the financial consequences of being out of work. Conclusions: People vary in their adherence to quarantine during infectious disease outbreaks. To improve this, public health officials should provide a timely, clear rationale for quarantine and information about protocols; emphasise social norms to encourage this altruistic behaviour; increase the perceived benefit that engaging in quarantine will have on public health; and ensure that sufficient supplies of food, medication and other essentials are provided.

The assessment and management of urologic chronic pelvic pain syndrome (UCPPS), is controversial. It is categorized by voiding symptoms, pelvic pain, and bladder pain, which is weekly treated, weekly understood, and bothersome. In the aspect of clinical efforts and research to help people with this syndrome have been hampered by the deficiency of a widely reliable, accepted, and a valuable tool to evaluate the patient symptoms and quality of life (QoL) impact. However, the etiology comes into sight is multifactorial, and available treatment options have been imprecise considerably in present years. We compiled the published literature on the assessment of the syndrome, a tentative role of pharmacological and non-pharmacological (conservative, alternative, and invasive therapy) interventions in eradicating the disease as well as improving symptoms. The previously published literature on animal models has established the association of immune systems in the etiology, pathogenesis, and progression of the disease. The UPOINT system for clinical phenotyping of UCPPS patients has six predefined domains that direct multimodal therapy, which would lead to significant symptom improvement in the medical field. The narrative review aims to scrutinize the fluctuating scientist’s views on the evaluation of patient and multimodal treatment of the UPOINT system.

The gene encoding the interleukin-1 receptor antagonist is differentially expressed in the blood and regulatory T-cells of patients with Crohn’s disease and transcriptionally induced in peripheral blood mononuclear cells upon stimulation with muramyl dipeptide.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: March 2020

Crohn’s disease, an inflammatory bowel disease (1), is a significant cause of morbidity and economic burden in the United States (2, 3, 4). We performed differential gene expression analyses and identified the interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor antagonist, IL1RN (5, 6), as among the genes most differentially expressed in the blood and regulatory T-cells of patients with Crohn’s disease using published (7) and public datasets (8). Further analysis of published microarray data (9) revealed that IL1RN was transcriptionally induced upon stimulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) with muramyl dipeptide, the ligand for the gene product of the Crohn’s disease susceptibility locus NOD2. Interestingly, IL-1RN was expressed at significantly lower quantities in the Treg of patients with Crohn’s disease than in the Treg of non-affected control subjects. This is the first report of differential expression of IL1RN in patients with Crohn’s disease.

Many cultivated and wild plants are used for the management of various diseases, specifically renal and hepatic diseases and those of the immune and cardiovascular systems. In China, medicinal plants from ancient to modern history have been used in patients with angina pectoris, congestive heart failure (CHF), systolic hypertension, arrhythmia, and venous insufficiency for centuries. The latest increase in the fame of natural products and alternative medicine has revived interest in conventional remedies that have been consumed in the management of CVD. The cardio-protective properties of the various herbs are possibly due to their antioxidative, antihypercholesterolemic, anti-ischemic activities, and inhibition of platelet aggregation that reduce the risk of CVD. Ethno-pharmacological and biological properties of these plants are explored, based upon published scientific literature. Although a majority of medicinal plants having a biological mechanism that linked with CVD management. To date, published literature pertains to their promising scientific properties are still poorly understood. Compared with synthetic medicines, alternative medicines do not need scientific studies before their formal approval from the government sector and due to this purpose; their safety, as well as efficacy, are still remained elusive. Taken together, we addressed all accessible evidence on alternative medicines commonly consumed in CVD management. Our comprehensive analysis of the scientific literature indicated that many TCM is available and valuable herbal medication would be the best alternative for the management of CVD as a complementary therapy. Furthermore, practitioners should always discuss possible benefits-risks of alternative medicines with patients so that they conscious with the consumption of alternative medication.

Pendeta merupakan pelayan Tuhan di tengah dunia ini untuk melayani jemaat-Nya. Pendeta secara tulus akan melayani umat Tuhan sebagai bentuk jawaban atas panggilan Allah terhadapnya. Karena pendeta adalah pelayan Tuhan yang seharusnya melayani umat, maka pendeta seharusnya melakukan pelayanan tersebut tanpa menyisipkan kepentingan pribadi di dalamnya termasuk mengambil keuntungan dari jemaat yang dilayaninya. Namun, karena tantangan dan kebutuhan hidup yang berat di dunia modern ini maka tidak jarang ada pendeta yang menjadikan materi sebagai motivasi pelayanan dan menjadikannya sebagai pendeta materialisme yang secara tidak langsung berdampak pada kualitas pelayanan yang diberikan bagi jemaat. Penelitian ini bersumber dari kepustakaan yang membahas mengenai masalah-masalah yang berkaitan dengan topik penelitian. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk membahas gaya hidup pendeta yang materialisme dan dampaknya dalam kualitas pelayanan yang dikerjakannya sehingga dari penelitian ini akan memberikan manfaat untuk mengetahui gaya hidup materialisme pendeta serta melihat dampak yang ditimbulkan dari gaya hidup materialisme tersebut bagi pendeta itu sendiri dan bagi jemaat.
A Formal Framework for Cognitive Models of Multitasking
Authors: Lesnick Michael , Musslick Sebastian , Dey Biswadip , Cohen Jonathan D.
Published: March 2020

This note introduces mathematical foundations for modeling of human multitask performance. Using basic definitions from set theory and graph theory, we introduce formal definitions of the environment in which multitasks are performed, of an agent which attempts to perform a multitask, and of the success rate of the agent on a multitask. Drawing on the recent literature on modeling of multitasking, we give two simple examples of multitasking agents, and illustrate the performance of these agents on two multitasking problems: the well-known Stroop task, and a more complex variant.
Towards a Network Psychometrics Approach to Assessment: Simulations for Redundancy, Dimensionality, and Loadings
Authors: Christensen Alexander P.
Published: March 2020

Research using network models in psychology has proliferated over the last decade. The popularity of network models has largely been driven by their alternative explanation for the emergence of psychological attributes—observed variables co-occur because they are causally coupled and dynamically reinforce each other, forming cohesive systems. Despite their rise in popularity, the growth of network models as a psychometric tool has remained relatively stagnant, mainly being used as a novel measurement perspective. In this dissertation, the goal is to expand the role of network models in modern psychometrics and to move towards using these models as a tool for the validation of assessment instruments. This paper presents three simulation studies and an empirical example that are designed to evaluate different aspects of the psychometric network approach to assessment: reducing redundancy, detecting dimensions, and estimating loadings. The first simulation evaluated two novel approaches for determining whether items are redundant, which is a key component for the accuracy and interpretation of network measures. The second simulation evaluated several different community detection algorithms, which are designed to detect dimensions in networks. The third simulation evaluated an adapted formulation of the network measure, node strength, and how it compares to factor loadings estimated by exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The results of the simulations demonstrate that network models can be used as an effective psychometric tool and one that is on par with more traditional methods. Finally, in the empirical example, the methods from the simulations are applied to a real-world dataset measuring personality. This example demonstrated that these methods are not only effective, but they can validate whether an assessment instrument is consistent with theoretical and empirical expectations. With these methods in hand, network models are poised to take the next step towards becoming a robust psychometric tool.
When Helping is Risky: The Behavioral and Neurobiological Tradeoff of Social and Risk Preferences

Published: March 2020

Helping others can entail risks for the helper. For example, when treating infectious patients, medical volunteers risk their own health. In such situations, helping-decisions should depend on the individual’s valuation of others’ well-being (social preferences) and the degree of personal risk the individual finds acceptable (risk preferences). We investigate how these distinct preferences are psychologically and neurobiologically integrated when helping is risky. We used incentivized decision-making tasks (Study 1, N=292, mean age=22.3±3.7, 142 female) and manipulated dopamine and norepinephrine levels in the brain by administering methylphenidate, atomoxetine, or placebo (Study 2, N=154, mean age=23.7±3.9, 77 female). We find that social and risk preferences are independent drivers of risky helping. Methylphenidate increased risky helping by selectively altering risk- rather than social preferences. Atomoxetine influenced neither risk nor social preferences and did not affect risky helping. This suggests that methylphenidate-altered dopamine concentrations affect helping decisions that entail a risk to the helper. (Psych Science; in press)
Nonparametric Item Response Models: A Comparison on Recovering True Scores
Authors: Franco Víthor Rosa , Wiberg Marie , Bastos Rafael Valdece Sousa
Published: March 2020

Nonparametric procedures are used to add flexibility to models. Three nonparametric item response models have been proposed, but not directly compared: the Kernel smoothing (KS-IRT); the Davidian-Curve (DC-IRT); and the Bayesian semiparametric Rasch model (SP-Rasch). The main aim of the present study is to compare the performance of these procedures in recovering simulated true scores, using sum scores as benchmarks. The secondary aim is to compare their performances in terms of practical equivalence with real data. Overall, the results show that, apart from the DC-IRT, which is the model that performs the worse, all the other models give results quite similar to those when sum scores are used. These results are followed by a discussion with practical implications and recommendations for future studies.
Gendered diverging destinies: Changing family structures and inequality of opportunity among boys and girls in the United States
Authors: Boertien Diederik , Bernardi Fabrizio
Published: March 2020

The prevalence of non-standard family structures has increased over time and in particular among socioeconomically disadvantaged families. Because children’s attainments are negatively associated with growing up in non-standard family structures, changes in family structures are often considered to have strengthened the reproduction of social inequalities across generations. We argue that the validity of this argument depends on variation in how family structure affects children’s attainments, a premise we label heterogeneity in attainment penalties. Previous research has documented heterogeneity in attainment penalties across social groups and by gender. Therefore, the role of family structure in reproducing inequalities is unclear and might vary by gender too. We use data from the NLSY 1979 and 1997 cohorts to estimate the contribution of changes in family structures to parental education differences in educational attainment for boys and girls. We estimate extended Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition models which take into account both cross-cohort changes in the prevalence of family structures and heterogeneity in related penalties. Changes in the prevalence and penalties related to childhood family structures account for a 15% increase in the parental education gap in educational attainment for girls but reduced the attainment gap for boys by 13%.
Wiki-Gendersort: Automatic gender detection using first names in Wikipedia
Authors: Bérubé Nicolas , Ghiasi Gita , Sainte-Marie Maxime , Larivière Vincent
Published: March 2020

Gender information is often absent from databases available to scholars, thus hindering the proper problematization, investigation, and answering of various gender-related research questions. Named-based algorithms represent the most simple, yet effective used gender detection methods: such methods proceed by generating first-name-to-gender mapping tables based on user records in a given dataset and then applying such mapping tables "in reversal" to other databases for completion or validation purposes. The present research aims to develop a gender detection algorithm focusing on the gender detection of eponymous Wikipedia pages and compare its performance to that of other well-known gender detection databases, using the author names indexed in the Web of Science.
Décomposer les humanités numériques
Authors: Piotrowski Michael , Xanthos Aris
Published: March 2020

The definition of the digital humanities has been a matter of heated discussion ever since the introduction of the term, earning the field the dubious reputation of being undefinable. While some seem to take pride in this reputation, the absence of a coherent definition frequently sparks off acrimonious criticism and debates. More importantly, though, it increasingly becomes a liability in the context of the progressive institutionalization of the digital humanities. Rather than vainly trying to find a definition of digital humanities that is at the same time descriptive and rigorous, we propose a stipulative definition that separates them into theoretical and applied digital humanities: the theoretical digital humanities are the metascientific discipline whose goal is the conception of formal methods that the applied digital humanities use to create formal models in the various humanities disciplines.
The design and implementation of “unplugged” game-based learning in computing education
Authors: Huang Wendy
Published: March 2020

We share our experiences using an "unplugged" card game to introduce youth and adults to fundamental coding concepts and computational thinking (CT). In this game, players develop algorithmic thinking and understanding of constructs such as loops and conditional statements as they build and execute battle plans ("code") in a pirate-themed card game. There are two factors that influence the game's impact on learning: design and implementation. We describe how the game was designed to teach coding and CT, what actually happened when we tested it in outreach programs and in schools, and how we improved the connection between theoretical and actual effectiveness. One challenge was to improve the efficiency of teaching rules. Theoretically, players gain and master CT skills as they pursue game goals, but only when they correctly operate within the rule system. In practice, we saw that teaching the rules was taking an inordinate amount of time with diminishing returns as players became cognitively overloaded. Over several implementations, we generalized design principles that work for groups of different characteristics, including ages, size, and learning contexts. A key heuristic was to modify the game to introduce a practice round with reduced rules while not sacrificing playability. We also describe some gaps between play and learning that we could not bridge with the game alone, which revealed both its limitations and the importance of additional facilitation necessary to support learning.
From call to action: a roadmap to sustainable conferences
Authors: Cugniere Laure , Veríssimo Diogo , Branas Angeles , Bigwood Guy
Published: March 2020

There have been numerous calls across the scientific community, in recent years, for research conferences to embrace sustainability. With growing public consciousness and the challenging context posed by climate change both economically, socially and for biodiversity, researchers should be leading the path towards sustainable event planning. In this article, we propose key performances indicators that not only prioritize environmental goals, but also integrate socio-economic considerations at the roots of the planning cycle. We further discuss the added risks and remaining barriers, at the host organisation and destination levels, to plan a sustainable event. By changing the way that research conferences are organized, the scientific community can incorporate their values, knowledge and passion to strengthen existing standards and frameworks. We hope that, as event sustainability becomes more salient and institutions more prone to sharing lessons learned, sustainable events become the norm for all research conferences and meetings.
Grip strength and North American collegiate football performance indicators
Authors: OTTERSON Ryan , DEBELİSO Mark
Published: March 2020

Football athletes are often tested in their ability to display high levels of strength and power to determine their sporting prowess. One indicator of total body strength in the general population is handgrip strength (HGS) which has also been used to stratify level of success in a variety of sports. It is of interest to determine what relationship HGS has with other indicators of football performance. This study examined the correlation between HGS as it relates to indicators of football sport performance: vertical jump (VJ), 18.3 meter sprint (13.8MS), and one-repetition maximum back squat (1-RM BSQ) among North American collegiate football players. Sixteen (n=16) male participants from a NCAA Division II football program (age: 21.3±1.7 years, height: 183.6±9.1 cm, mass: 99.6±17.7 kg) were assessed for HGS, VJ, 18.3MS, and 1-RM BSQ. Athletes performed a dynamic warm-up followed by two trials of each assessment: HGS, VJ, and 18.3MS. A recent 1-RM BSQ as recorded by the college’s strength and conditioning staff was used as the measure of BSQ strength. Pearson correlation coefficients (r) were determined for HGS and football performance tests as well as HGS to body mass ratio and football performance tests. Moderate correlations were found between HGS and VJ, as well as HGS and 18.3MS (r=-0.41, and r=0.49; respectively). HGS to body mass (HGS/BM) ratio also demonstrated moderate correlations with VJ (r=0.50) and 18.3MS times (r=-0.41). No significant correlation was found between HGS and 1-RM BSQ (r=0.09) or HGS/BM with 1-RM BSQ/BM (r=-0.13). Within the parameters of this study, HGS as it relates to an athlete’s body mass has a moderate relationship with performance in the VJ and the 13.8MS.

Ranolazine Preserves and Improves Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction and Autonomic Measures when wdded to Guideline-Driven Therapy in Chronic Heart Failure
Authors: L. Murray Gary , Colombo Joseph
Published: March 2020

Background: Ranolazine (RAN) reduces cardiac sodium channel 1.5’s late sodium current in congestive heart failure (CHF), reducing myocardial calcium overload, potentially improving left ventricular (LV) function. RAN blocks neuro- nal sodium channel 1.7, potentially altering parasympathetic and sympathetic (P&S) activity. The effects of RAN on LV ejection fraction (LVEF) and P&S function in CHF were studied. Methods: Matched CHF patients were given open-label RAN (1000 mg po-bid) added to guideline-driven therapy (RANCHF, 41 systolic, 13 diastolic) or no adjuvant therapy (control, NORANCHF, 43 systolic, 12 diastolic). Echocar- diographic LVEF and P&S measures were obtained at baseline and follow-up (mean 23.7 months). Results: LVEF increased in 70% of RANCHF patients, an average of 11.3 units. Mean LVEF remained unchanged in NORANCHF patients. P&S measures indicated cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (P≤0.1 bpm2) in 20% of NORANCHF patients at baseline and in 29% at follow-up (increasing in both groups). At baseline, 28% of patients had high sympathovagal balance (SB), RAN normalized SB over 50% of these; in contrast, the NORANCHF group had a 20% increase in patients with high SB. Conclusions: RAN preserves or improves LVEF and decreases high SB in CHF.

Published: March 2020

Background: Overuse of antibiotics is a cause of bacterial resistance. It is known that electromagnetic waves emitted from electrical devices can cause changes in biological systems. This study aimed at evaluating the effects of short-term exposure to electromagnetic fields emitted from common Wi-Fi routers on changes in antibiotic sensitivity to opportunistic pathogenic bacteria. Materials and Methods: Standard strains of bacteria were prepared in this study. Antibiotic susceptibility test, based on the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method, was carried out in Mueller-Hinton agar plates. Two different antibiotic susceptibility tests for Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were conducted after exposure to 2.4-GHz radiofrequency radiation. The control group was not exposed to radiation. Results: Our findings revealed that by increasing the duration of exposure to electromagnetic waves at a frequency of 2.4 GHz, bacterial resistance increased against S. aureus and P. aeruginosa, especially after 24 hours (P<0.05). Conclusion: The use of electromagnetic waves with a frequency of 2.4 GHz can be a suitable method for infection control and treatment. [GMJ.2020;9:e1580]

The phenomenon that lately occurs and entrenched in the environment of Indonesian society in general and in particular in the District of Kerumutan, Pelalawan Regency, which considers that talking harshly, berating, yelling, scolding, threatening to children is normal. But parents should be able to give good examples to children by using language or words that are good and right. This condition can occur where parents do not really understand and do not know that the verbal ability possessed by parents in communicating with children will be directly absorbed by children and form a sustainable behavior.Results Self-concept owned by teenagers in Kec. Kerumutan Kab. Pelalawan is influenced by significant others. Where, adolescent self-concept in Kec. Kerumutan Kab. Pelalawan is a negative self-concept that is the type of social comparison and Biased scannin. The negative self-concept of social comparision type is of the view that it is indeed like what is said by others so that the view of itself really looks irregular because the self-concept formed is influenced by others. While the negative self-concept is Biased scannin type. Shown from the attitude of adolescents that he tends to feel unliked by his parents and feel unnoticed. Reflected Appraisal states that a person's self-concept will be formed if he gets an award from someone else. Where, the giver of appreciation and the amount of appreciation received by a person will determine the degree of self-concept that is formed. Appreciation from people who are considered important to someone (significant others such as: parents, friends, relatives, etc.) also provide a very big influence on the development of self-concept.

The Markov availability model of a physical security system is investigated. The actuality of research caused by the need to protect the physical security systems not only from physical failures, but also from cyber-attackers. When constructing the model, it is assumed that the properties of stationary, ordinariness and absence of aftereffects of event flows in the system, the low probability of failure of the software component and cloud services. It also takes into account the fact that acts of vandalism occur on objects of the first zone that are outside the perimeter. The typical algorithm of construction of the Markov model based on determination of sets of states and mechanisms of interaction is used. The evaluation of the functioning of the multi-zone system was carried out taking into account three degrees of degradation from the normal state to the states of simultaneous failure of all three zones. The top state of S1 corresponds to the normal state of the system without failures. The states S2, S3, S4 correspond to the states of the first level of degradation of the system, in which hardware failure occurred in one of the zones. The states S5, S6, S7 correspond to the states of the second level of degradation of the system, in which there were hardware failures in two zones. Condition S8 corresponds to the state of complete failure of all three zones of the system. To evaluate the availability functions, the Markov model was calculated and investigated for different sets of input data. The following parameters were chosen: hardware failure rate due to unintentional physical and design defects; the intensity of recovery of hardware after failure and the degree of "aggression" of the attackers, which depends on external factors. The results of the simulation conclude that the parameters of failure rates and recovery are affected by the availability values of the different degradation levels and the relationship between them. It is determined that with increasing input parameters - the failure rate of hardware and the coefficient of "aggression" of intruders, the stationary availability coefficients of all levels of degradation decrease.

The rapid development in the telecommunication industry has raised a question about the organizational assets and strategic positioning in a rapidly changing environment. The telecommunication industry is continuing to change and mounting a lot of pressure towards the fitness of organizational assets and strategic positioning. The demand for efficiency in the telecommunication industry has enabled exploration of organizational assets that guarantee desired strategic positioning. The fast changing environment has led the industry to focus on developing organizational assets which guarantee them future success in meeting the fast changing expectations and that which position them well in the dynamic market. The study was carried out in the four mobile and network operators licensed by Communication Authority of Kenya. These were Safaricom limited, Airtel Kenya, Orange Kenya and Equitel Kenya. Descriptive statistics such as mean scores, standard deviation, frequency distributions and percentages were used in this study. The study used Pearson Correlation to measure strength of linear relationship between variables. The research adopted multiple regression analysis in testing of variables. A Census method was used on strategic planning managers and C.E.O’s from 188 customer care centers from the four mobile and network operators. Primary data were collected using semi-structured questionnaires and secondary data were corrected using interview schedule. The questionnaires were administered to all Strategic planning Managers at customer care centers or C.E.O’s at headquarter offices for four companies in 47 counties. The findings on this objective revealed that organizational assets positively influence the strategic positioning of telecommunication industry in Kenya. The study concluded that assets components were all statistically significant to enhancing strategic positioning in the telecommunication industry. It is recommended that the strategic managers of the telecommunication industries should ensure the right use of assets. CAK and Ministry of ICT should make it a requirement that telecommunication industries should be submitting reports regularly of the assets they have.
