This paper helps to address a deficiency of gender-specific research into gambling. It focuses on gambling participation, gaming machine play, and problem gambling amongst 1,257 female respondents to a telephone survey of 3,000 members selected randomly from the membership lists of six of the largest clubs in Sydney, A…

INTRODUCTION: In a social context supportive of patient engagement throughout society, many scientific claims are in favour of developing patient engagement in medical education. However, few studies have objectively investigated current practices and the obstacles to patient engagement from the point of view of medica…

Agnew's general strain theory suggests that negative life experiences constitute stress that may lead to deviance, unless effective coping strategies are forthcoming. In the present study, the principles of general strain theory were employed to examine the age-varying effects of three types of victimization on drug-us…

Assays can be so expensive that interesting hypotheses become impractical to study epidemiologically. One need not, however, perform an assay for everyone providing a biological specimen. We propose pooling equal-volume aliquots from randomly grouped sets of cases and randomly grouped sets of controls, and then assayin…

To make a contribution to a base of knowledge, research design must be sound and the data must be analyzed by the most efficient, powerful method available. In conducting orthopaedic research as well as when interpreting the orthopaedic literature, knowledge of multivariable analysis is essential in evaluating the effe…

In today's world of rapidly expanding economies, the fundamental aim of most nations is to raise the quality of living for their citizens. The investigation aims to analyze how environmental rules affect the emergence of environmentally conscious economies. This research focused on China's 26 provinces to investigate t…

In the field of geriatric orthopedics, the correlation between Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) assessment and postoperative outcomes in elderly trimalleolar fracture patients remains a critical area of investigation. The retrospective study by Zhou et al. examines this relationship through postoperative complication analy…

The concentration-QTc (C-QTc) analysis is often applied in the first-in-human (FIH) study to demonstrate the absence of a QTc effect in support of a TQT waiver. However, a C-QTc analysis without properly designed sensitivity could fail to conclude the absence of a QTc effect at high concentrations, even though the comp…

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) may contribute to the formation of psoriatic lesions. The present study's objective was to identify long lncRNA genes that are differentially expressed in patient samples of psoriasis through computational analysis techniques. By using previously published RNA sequencing data from psoriati…

High density (HD) haptic interfaces have become increasingly common for entertainment thanks to advancements in virtual reality technology, however their flexibility may make them a useful sensory substitution interface for motor rehabilitation. Yet little research has explored how users interpret different haptic feed…

Breaking free of pre-existing assumptions to achieve transformative change in care delivery remains challenging. This article presents a care process framework using a rapid task analysis tested with healthcare teams across five communities in British Columbia, Canada, to provide leaders a novel and practical approach…

Training machine learning models for artificial intelligence (AI) applications in pathology often requires extensive annotation by human experts, but there is little guidance on the subject. In this work, we aimed to describe our experience and provide a simple, useful, and practical guide addressing annotation strateg…

In 62 volunteers it was studied, whether an alternating 3 Hz magnetic field (induction 0.1 mT) vertically applied to the head over a period of 20 min causes changes in EEG parameters. The study's design was a random crossover controlled, blind one. The field was generated by a Helmholtz coils arrangement. The occipital…

Matte-Blanco's theory reformulates the Freudian unconscious from the perspective of mathematical set theory, pointing to symmetric logic as the distinctive mark of the unconscious. Borges's fictional creations are presented as thematising and dramatising, in the act of reading, Matte-Blanco's main concepts of symmetry,…

This study aimed to understand the repercussions of the dose of nursing intervention for professional practice. This is a theoretical reflection study that sought to answer: what are the repercussions of the dose of nursing intervention for professional practice? To answer this question, a corpus of selected texts was…

The aim of this study was to determine the relation among anxiety and family burden in primary first-degree relative caregivers of outpatients with mental disorders in Turkey. Data were collected with patients' primary first-degree relative caregivers via the Information Form, Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and Perceive…

Prior research has explored how employees' perceptions of their leaders impact their work attitudes and behaviors. Studies have shown that charismatic leaders motivate individuals to be more engaged and to exhibit more organizational citizenship behaviors. This study considers how a moderator, citizenship pressure, aff…
