Background: Dermatophytes create the most common fungal disease in humans, called dermatophytosis. The two species of Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton interdigital are responsible for over 80% of types of dermatophytosis. So far, several morphological and physiological methods have been used to differentiate these very similar species, but these methods are generally time-consuming and have...

In this paper, I revisit and reflect on my own research partners’ attempts at investigating the relationship between education politics through lens of discourse theory analysis methodology. This auto-analytical reflection corresponds to shift in studies from a technically understood more generally conceived discourse-analytical approach (Howarth & Torfing, 2005). Revisiting analyses made m...

introduction: although extensive research has been conducted on lung cancer markers, a singular clinically applicable marker has not been found yet. the objective of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity and the specificity of carcinoembryonic antigen (cea) mrna and lung-specific x protein (lunx) mrna biomarkers in peripheral blood to detect lung cancer individually and simultaneously. met...

the work exposure conditions such as dust concentration, exposure time, use of respiratory protection devices and smoking status are effective to cause pulmonary function disorder. the objective of this study was prediction of pulmonary disorders in workers exposed to silica dust using artificial neural networks and logistic regression. a sample of 117 out of 150 workers employed in the stone c...
