BACKGROUND The translation and cultural adaptation of widely accepted, psychometrically tested tools is regarded as an essential component of effective human resource management in the primary care arena. The Training Needs Assessment (TNA) is a widely used, valid instrument, designed to measure professional development needs of health care professionals, especially in primary health care. This...

We work over the complex numbers field C. In the present survey, we report some recent progress on the study of varieties with mild singularities like log terminal singularities (which are just quotient singularities in the case of dimension 2; see [KMM]). Singularities appear naturally in many ways. The minimal model program developed by Mori et al shows that a minimal model will inevitably ha...

Article history: Received October 15, 2011 Received in Revised form November, 14, 2011 Accepted 25 February 2012 Available online 11 March 2012 Chaos management is one of the most necessary efforts on managing business units. Many organizations fail to cope with undesirable circumstances, which may happen without any prior notice and as a result, they may face with significant financial losses....

BACKGROUND Mexico is one of the countries with the highest rates of overweight and obesity around the world, with 68.8% of men and 73% of women reporting both. This is a public health problem since there are several health related consequences of not exercising, like having cardiovascular diseases or some types of cancers. All of these problems can be prevented by promoting exercise, so it is i...

Low-cost, high-efficient catalysts for water splitting can be potentially fulfilled by developing earth-abundant metal oxides. In this work, surface galvanic formation of Co-OH on K0.45MnO2 (KMO) was achieved via the redox reaction hydrated Co2+ with crystalline Mn4+. The synthesis method takes place at ambient temperature without using any surfactant agent or organic solvent, providing a clean...

Glutamate receptors sensitive to N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) are involved in embryonic brain development but their activity may be modulated by the kynurenine pathway of tryptophan metabolism which includes an agonist (quinolinic acid) and an antagonist (kynurenic acid) at these receptors. Our previous work has shown that prenatal inhibition of the pathway produces abnormalities of brain develo...

Understanding whether regulation of tryptophan metabolites can ameliorate neurodegeneration is of high interest to investigators. A recent publication describes 3,4-dimethoxy-N-(4-(3-nitrophenyl)-5-(piperidin-1-ylmethyl)thiazol-2-yl)benzenesulfonamide (JM6) as a novel prodrug for the kynurenine 3-monooxygenase (KMO) inhibitor 3,4-dimethoxy-N-(4-(3-nitrophenyl)thiazol-2-yl)benzenesulfonamide (Ro...

This study is an attempt to validate one of the knowledge managements constructs that called management orientation (KMO), which was proposed and validated already by Wang Ahmed (2004). The reason for this revalidation f KMO construct work in a different context where it will be applied measure performance private universities Jordan. To achieve this, random sample 296 managerial position emplo...
