BACKGROUND In the third molar surgery, it is important to focus not only on surgical skills, but also on patient satisfaction. Classically studies have been focused on surgery and surgeon's empathy, but there are non-surgical factors that may influence patient satisfaction. MATERIAL AND METHODS A cross-sectional study was performed on 100 patients undergoing surgical extractions of impacted m...

In this chapter, we will discuss Bayesian networks, a currently widely accepted modeling class for reasoning with uncertainty. We will take a practical point of view, putting emphasis on modeling and practical applications rather than on mathematical formalities and the advanced algorithms that are used for computation. In general, Bayesian network modeling can be data driven. In this chapter, ...

Now the trend of informatization and automation in various aspects society is developing. Within framework this topic, an article was written highlighting main ideas field intellectual management higher education institutions. trend, models system constituent elements functioning institutions conceptual form are proposed. To do this, analysis state processes phenomena modern education. The prov...

Agriculture plays a great role in the economy of many countries including Tanzania where majority depends on agriculture-based activities for their livelihoods. Access to agricultural credit is vital growth and development sector Tanzania, hence financing agriculture key issue rural development. Despite effort Government make services available affordable its majority, access among smallholder ...

The abolition of the separate naming of different morphs of the same fungal species in 2011 will inevitably result in many name changes in some genera. The working practices commended here are intended to minimize one category of these changes, that which can arise as a consequence of an author using the epithet of an asexual morph when describing the sexual morph of the same species. We consid...

This paper extends Kontsevich’s ideas on quantizing Poisson manifolds. A new differential is added to the Hodge decomposition of the Hochschild complex, so that it becomes a bicomplex, even more similar to the classical Hodge theory for complex manifolds. These notes grew out of the author’s attempt to understand Kontsevich’s ideas [Kon95a] on quantizing Poisson manifolds. We introduce a new di...

BACKGROUND The aim of this paper is to compare common features and variation in the work of research ethics committees (RECs) in Finland to three other countries - England, Canada, the United States of America (USA) - in the late 2000s. METHODS Several approaches and data sources were used, including semi- or unstructured interviews of experts, documents, previous reports, presentations in me...

Courses on algebraic specification and logic have been important cornerstones of teaching theoretical computer science for many years. Moreover, algebraic specification and logic are applied in areas like software specification and verification, but also in ontologies and weak artificial intelligence, and other areas. During my studies, I myself was greatly influenced by courses on algebraic sp...

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Without the help and support from a large number of people, this work would not have been possible. First of all, I would like to thank Prof. Laurence Jacobs for making this exchange possible and for being a great advisor, supporter, teacher and friend. He opened a new door to ultrasonic wave propagation I might not have entered without him. A huge 'Thank You' goes to Dr. Jin-Y...
