Abstract:

In many types of researches and studies including those performed by the sciences of agriculture and plant sciences, large quantities of data are frequently obtained that must be analyzed using different data mining techniques. Sometimes data mining involves the application of different methods of statistical data analysis. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) is frequently used as a technique for data reduction and structure detection in data mining. In our survey, we study the EFA applied to data mining, focusing on the problem of establishing of the optimal number of factors to be retained. Th

Abstract:

The study intends to develop and validate a scale to gauge the perception of patients towards branded and generic medicines in an emerging economy like India. Items were generated through literature review and exploratory semi-structured interview with patients and physicians. In the way of establishing generic medicines in the market, patients’ acceptability is very much essential. However, with the advent of information age, the patients are now becoming more conscious and aware regarding the generic medicines, and there is an improvement in the acceptability of generic medicines.

Abstract:

Achieving many of the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals requires the active contribution of skilled engineers. Globally, however, there appears to be a mismatch between the sustainable competencies that engineering graduates possess and those required by industry. Closing this gap requires a reliable and valid means of establishing which competencies are of greatest importance to engineering practitioners. In this research, we developed a model of generic engineering competency and designed a scale comprising 55 skills in total. This instrument was then used to survey two samples of engine

Abstract:

Background The burden and contribution of modifiable risk factors of stroke in Ethiopia are unclear. Knowledge about this burden and modifying risk factors is pivotal for establishing stroke prevention strategies. In recent decades, the issue of lifestyle and behavioral modification is a key to improve the quality of life. The modifiable risk factors are an importance as intervention strategies aimed at reducing these factors can subsequently reduce the risk of stroke. So far, many primary studies were conducted to estimate the burden of stroke and modifiable risk factors in Ethiopia. However,

Abstract:

Given that existing electricity sales package recommendation methods mainly consider scenarios where customers are familiar with all the attributes of the packages, they tend to overlook the mixed nature of quantitative and qualitative attributes, psychological factors, and the determination of attribute weights in the decision-making process. To address these limitations, this paper proposes a dynamic hybrid multi-attribute group decision-making with two reference points for electricity sales package recommendation, combining prospect theory. The specific approach is as follows: First, the AA

Background: Richter Transformation (RT) is defined as the transformation of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) into an aggressive lymphoma. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) makes up the vast majority of RT and these patients have a poor prognosis compared to de novo DLBCL (Rossi D, et al. Blood, 2011; 117(12):3391-3401). Prognostic factors include therapy for CLL/SLL prior to transformation, TP53/CDKN2A abnormalities, as well as clonal relationship between CLL/SLL and RT. There are no randomized controlled trials to direct treatment of RT and many cente

Consequently, people living with SCD (PLWSCD) face lifelong affiliations of blood transfusions and a reduced quality of life due to excruciating pain and end-organ damage. Despite SCD being one of the most common genetic disorders with approximately 100,000 individuals bearing its burden in the United States (U.S), current literature suggests that there is a decrease in the number of individuals receiving continuous care from a physician.
