INTRODUCTION This study aimed to examine the prevalence of opportunistic infections in HIV-infected patients in Bahrain and its relation to absolute CD4 count, CD4%, and CD4/CD8 ratio. METHODOLOGY This retrospective cohort study used laboratory records (January 2009 - May 2013) from a major hospital in Bahrain. Opportunistic infections (OIs); absolute CD4 counts, CD4%, and CD4/CD8 ratio were ...

Four basic approaches that have been used to demonstrate perception without awareness are described. Each approach re ̄ects one of two types of experimental logic and one of two possible methods for controlling awareness. The experimental logic has been either to demonstrate a dissociation between a measure of perception with awareness and a measure that is sensitive to perception without awaren...

Intraoperative awareness, with or without recall, continues to be a topic of clinical significance and neurobiological interest. In this article, we review evidence pertaining to the incidence, sequelae, and prevention of intraoperative awareness. We also assess which aspects of the complication are well understood (i.e. non-controversial) and which require further research for clarification (i...

Employees’ information security awareness (ISA) is a key antecedent of information security behavior. However, to date we know very little about the factors that are responsible for some employees having a higher level of ISA than others. Our study addresses this gap. We propose a model that comprises institutional, individual, and environmental factors preceding ISA. The model was empirically ...

An experiment was conducted to determine whether a commercial strain of turkey hens exhibits relative photorefractoriness (rPR) during a reproductive cycle and to ascertain whether plasma levels of certain hormones early in the reproductive cycle might be associated with subsequent expression of rPR or absolute photorefractoriness (aPR). Twenty-seven percent of hens maintained on a stimulatory ...

Researcher: Yoko Kunii Title: Student Pilot Situational Awareness: The Effects of Trust in Technology Institution: Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Degree: Master of Science in Aeronautics Year: 2006 The purpose of this research was to evaluate the general level of trust in technology in student pilots and then to determine the relationship between pilots’ trust and their situational awaren...

ICT resources are important assets of any organization and the protection of these resources are equally important. To be able to protect themselves and their profitability, many organizations have established information security awareness programs. In order for a security awareness program to add value to an organization and at the same time make a contribution to the field of information sec...

This article examines the level of diffusion of social software (SS) in Italian local administrations and the effectiveness of these technologies in supporting public engagement, focusing on the specific case of Facebook in Italian municipalities. Public engagement refers to the involvement of citizens in public decisions and public life. This activity is h...

We examine a logic that combines knowledge, awareness, and change of awareness. An agent can become aware of factual propositions but also of other agents or of herself. The dual operation to becoming aware, forgetting, can also be modelled. We show that the logic is decidable, and we present a complete axiomatization.

chemical hardness (), absolute electronegativity (), and electrophilicity () have importantapplications in inorganic chemistry. these concepts are defined quantitatively as � � �� � ����,� � �� � ����, � � ������where i is the ionization energy and a is the electron affinity. in thisstudy, graphical method was used to see the relation of electron configuration with chemicalhardness, absolute...
