Information Quality (IQ) Management plays a vital role in the process of Accounting Information Systems (AIS) adoption. IQ is emerging as a wellknown business problem in modern organisations. Specifically, the level of information quality is critical for all accounting processes, and has a significant impact on business decision-making. It must be noted that modern organisations rely heavily on...

Abnormalities of membranous and endochondral ossification in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) remain incompletely understood. To investigate abnormalities in the melatonin signaling pathway and cellular response to melatonin in AIS, a case‑control study of osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation was performed using human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). AIS was diagnosed b...

The aetiology of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) has been linked to many factors, such as asymmetric growth, neuromuscular condition, bone strength and genetic background. Recently, epigenetic factors have been proposed as contributors of AIS physiopathology, but information about the molecular mechanisms and pathways involved is scarce. Regarding epigenetic factors, microRNAs (miRNAs) ar...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the different expression levels of thyroid hormone responsive (THRSP; Spot14)/S14 related, Mig12 (S14R) during bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BM-MSC) adipogenesis in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients. MSCs were retrospectively isolated from AIS patients and controls, and adipogenic differentiation was induced. Total RNA was extracted...

Service availability has become one of the most crucial parameter of telecommunications infrastructure and other IT applications. Service Availability Forum (SAF) is a leading organization in publishing open specifications for Highly Available (HA) systems. Its Application Interface Specification (AIS) is a widely accepted standard for application developers. Conformance to the standard is one ...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with an increased risk of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Accurately predicting AIS and planning effective treatment pathways for AIS prevention are crucial for AF patients. Because of the temporality of patients' disease progressions, sequential disease and treatment patterns have the potential to improve risk prediction performance and contribute to effecti...

INTRODUCTION We evaluated the incidence and clinical outcome of patients with hypertensive acute ischemic stroke (AIS) admitted to a tertiary care center in Central India. In addition, we examined the status of stroke biomarkers namely neuron-specific enolase (NSE), glial specific protein (S-100ββ), and inter-α-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain 4(ITIH4) in the serum of patients suffering from AIS w...

RATIONALE Stroke presents a serious health problem in China. Despite progresses made in recent years, there is still a lack of effective treatments for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in clinical practices. AIMS The Chinese Acute Ischemic Stroke Treatment Outcome Registry (CASTOR) is designed to evaluate the patterns and cost-effectiveness of current treatments for AIS in real-world settings in C...

Automatic Identification System (AIS) is the de-facto communication standard used by vessels to broadcast identification and position information. However, being AIS communications neither encrypted nor authenticated, they can be eavesdropped spoofed adversaries, leading potentially threatening scenarios. Existing solutions, including ones conceived in avionics domain, do not consider integrati...

In response to the changing terms of competition in business, traditional accounting is becoming AIS – a growing subdiscipline of IS. Visionaries see accounting of the future as primarily an IS discipline as the field changes into a technologydriven information system profession. The challenge for accounting education is to keep pace with the transformation of the profession. This study uses da...
