objective: this study aimed to compare newborns anthropometric indices of housewives and employed women. materials and methods: this case control study compared newborns’ anthropometric indices (weight, length, head circumference) and first minute apgar between working women and housewives. two hundred consecutive term pregnant women during active phase of labor without any pregnancy complicati...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors associated with the prognosis of a subchondral insufficiency fracture of the femoral head (SIF). METHODS Between June 2002 and July 2009, 25 patients diagnosed with SIF were included in this study. Sequential radiographs were evaluated for the progression of collapse. Clinical profiles, including age, body mass index, follow-up ...

The awn, an apical extension from the lemma of the spikelet, plays important roles in seed dispersal, burial, and photosynthesis. Barley typically has long awns, but short-awn variants exist. The short awn 2 (lks2) gene, which produces awns about 50% shorter than normal, is a natural variant that is restricted to Eastern Asia. Positional cloning revealed that Lks2 encodes a SHI-family transcrip...

thirty-two exclusive and twenty-seven non-exclusively breast-fed infants were followed-up from birth to 4 months of age in a maternity hospital, with a rooming-in program. face to face bf education was given to mothers in two groups after delivery and also during 4 months post-partum. body weight (wt ), length (l) and head circumference (hc) of the infants were measured at monthly intervals, an...

Purpose This study explores the awareness (AWN) levels of good governance amongst Thai credit union cooperatives' (CUCs) members and factors hindering practice in CUCs. Design/methodology/approach used a survey questionnaire from 629 36 selected CUCs Thailand. analysed determinants AWN CUCs' using ordered probit model. The also employs OLS estimation to investigate practices. Findings shows tha...

A long awn is one of the distinct morphological features of wild rice species. This organ is thought to aid in seed dispersal and prevent predation by animals. Most cultivated varieties of Oryza sativa and Oryza glaberrima, however, have lost the ability to form long awns. The causal genetic factors responsible for the loss of awn in these two rice species remain largely unknown. Here, we evalu...
