Background: Active memory is the search engine of the mind. Active memory is a cognitive function responsible for preserving instant information, its manipulation, and its use in thinking. This study aimed at investigating the effects of active memory practices on intelligence profiles in students with Specific Learning Disorder (SLD). Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with a prete...

Manipulations have been considered effective only in the early postoperative period. From a total joint registry containing 9640 primary total knee arthroplasties (TKAs), 195 patients who underwent manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) were identified. A total of 102 had MUA within 90 days (early), and 93 more than 90 days (late) after TKA. Average pain (10-point scale), satisfaction (10-point sc...

Hybrid opto-electric manipulation in microfluidics/nanofluidics refers to a set of methodologies employing optical modulation of electrokinetic schemes to achieve particle or fluid manipulation at the micro- and nano-scale. Over the last decade, a set of methodologies, which differ in their modulation strategy and/or the length scale of operation, have emerged. These techniques offer new opport...

Objectives: This study aimed at analyzing the test-retest and interrater reliabilities of the Test of In-Hand Manipulation-Modified (TIHM-M), as well as the relationship between in-hand manipulation and handwriting. Methods: We administered the TIHM-M twice, two days apart, and the Beknopte Beoordelingsmethode voor Kinder Handschriften (BHK) - Concise Assessment Method for children’s handwriti...

STUDY DESIGN Randomized controlled trial with follow-up to 6 months. OBJECTIVE This was a comparative effectiveness trial of manual-thrust manipulation (MTM) versus mechanical-assisted manipulation (MAM); and manipulation versus usual medical care (UMC). SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most common conditions seen in primary care and physical medicine practice. M...

OBJECTIVES The objective of the study was to examine the repertoire and intensity of manipulation tactics of neurotic patients in everyday life and during therapy, as well as diagnosing the intensity of Machiavellianism in neurotic patients. METHODS There were 111 study subjects: 44 patients with diagnosed neurotic disorders, 44 people from the control group and 23 therapists. The manipulatio...

Background: According to the sustainable development theory, managers have a high incentive to observe ethical principles in business operations. However, some of the immoral behaviors of managers in earnings manipulation lead to ethical failures in companies. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between sustainable development performance and managers’ immoral...

Thanks to their unique optical and electromagnetic properties, noble-metal nanoparticles are proven very useful in many scientific fields, from nanotechnology to biology, including detection of cancer cells. Irradiated gold nanoparticles, as a nano-smolder could be widely used in biomedical contexts such as tumor therapy. Laser destruction of a cancerous tissue depends on thermal and physical p...

By manipulating the scale in graphs, this study demonstrated a new evaluation bias caused by attribute salience in graphical representations. That is, (de)compressing the graph axis scale changed the relative distance with respect to the options of a given attribute and thus changed the salience of the information in graphical representations. Experiment 1 showed that the differences in the gra...
