On 21 October 2016 Ketan Desai began his one year tenure as president of the World Medical Association. The WMA is formed and funded by 111 national medical associations and describes itself as “an organization promoting the highest possible standards of medical ethics.” The incumbent president, however, is a controversial figure who has been charged with corruption in a Delhi court. Desai has ...

Abstract: The 35,000 department store is a business engaged in the sale of clothes, having its address at Jalan Sisingamangaraja. Clothing one basic human needs to protect and beautify themselves. problem that occurs difficulty predicting number clothing sales, resulting an accumulation goods. method used this study Weighted Moving Average (WMA) forecasting method. purpose apply system determin...

Construction of flexible pavements with hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures consumes huge energy which impacts the resources and the environment of the world. Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) is an effective alternative as they produced with lower mixing and compaction temperature than those used in HMA production. This technology decreases energy consumption, saves money, and reducing the environmental pollu...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE To reduce imaging time and complexity, we sought to determine whether single breath-hold, multi-slice TrueFISP (SB-MST) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method is comparable to standard multi-breath-hold, multi-slice TrueFISP (MB-MST) for assessment of left ventricular (LV) wall motion abnormality (WMA), volumes, and ejection fraction (EF). METHODS AND RESULTS We stud...

Warm mix asphalts (WMA), because of their low production and compact temperatures, may have different behaviors in long term. In the present work, the energy-based criteria along with the 50% reduction in initial stiffness (Nf50%) using four-point bending test under controlled-strain conditions of 1000 microstrain were applied to compare the prepared two warm mix and HMA samples. All these crit...

Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) is a modern energy-saving process that uses environmentally friendly materials, has lower mixing and compaction temperatures, less energy releases contaminants than conventional hot mix asphalt. Moisture damage poses one of the main challenges material design in asphalt pavements. During its life, pavement exposed to effect moisture from surrounding environment. This rese...

Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA), manufactured at a lower temperature than the traditional Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA), allows for important economic and environmental benefits when considered for application in roads. Nonetheless, despite the benefits, its application in pavement for roads is not as widespread as desired from an environmental point of view; more in-depth studies to investigate its development...

BACKGROUND Visual assessment of wall motion abnormalities (WMA) by 2-dimensional echocardiography (2DE) is the most semi-quantitative method used to detect coronary artery disease (CAD), but it carries many limitations. Speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) overcomes these limitations and allows an objective quantification of myocardial deformation. The aim of the study to examine the accurac...

This article describes the role of transnational anti-apartheid activism in South Africa, Britain and the United States in generating international moral outrage over the readmission of the Medical Association of South Africa (MASA) to the World Medical Association (WMA), which had taken place in 1981 after it had withdrawn from that body in 1976. It discusses an example of a controversy where ...
