Abstract:

In order to reduce accident risk, highway authorities prioritise maintenance budgets partly based upon previous accident history. However, as accident rates have continued to fall in most contexts, this approach has become problematic as accident ‘black spots’ have been treated and the number of accidents at any individual site has fallen. Another way of identifying sites of higher accident risk might be to identify near-miss accidents (where an accident nearly happened, but was avoided), which are likely to be much more prolific than actual accidents, therefore they are useful in identifying

Abstract:

Sports medicine professionals are continuously attempting to keep the incidence of injuries down. One way to accomplish this is to employ preventive methods that identify athletes who are at a greater risk of becoming injured prior to the start of the athletic season. The Functional Movement Screenâ ¢ (FMS) is a screening method that attempts to identify those individuals at risk of sustaining injuries by determining deficits in athletes' mobility and stability. This is an area of great conflict because athletic injuries result from many factors, not only in mobility and stability weaknesses

In countries where it is available, highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has transformed HIV infection into a manageable, chronic illness rather than an ultimately fatal condition.

Adverse effects include blood lipid elevations that, in turn, lead to increased cardiovascular risk, potentially resulting in cardiovascular disease (CVD) or death.

COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOR<br>Esta dissertação estuda o fenômeno da correlação positiva entre o risco país e o risco cambial. A presença deste fenômeno é nociva às economias, pois as torna mais vulneráveis a choques recessivos. O trabalho busca, primeiramente, identificar qual a extensão do fenômeno separando uma amostra de 25 países em dois grupos: os que apresentam correlação positiva entre o risco país e o risco cambial e os que não apresentam. Baseado nesta divisão, em seguida é feita uma investigação de quais seriam os fatores determinantes do

Abstract:

Right ventricular function (RV) is one of the most important predictors of prognosis in many cardiovascular disease states. Despite the significance of RV function to survival, there are no therapies that directly nor selectively improve RV function. As well, the basis for RV failure is poorly understood. This is particularly relevant for patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), where RV failure in the setting of pressure overload is the leading cause of death. PAH will be introduced in the 2nd chapter of this thesis by comparing and refining contemporary mortality risk asses

Abstract:

UA Open Access Publishing Fund<br>Background: Noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NIPPV) use has increased in the treatment of patients with respiratory failure. However, despite decreasing the need for intubation in some patients, there are no data regarding the risk of intubation-related complications associated with delayed intubation in adult patients who fail NIPPV. The objective of this study is to evaluate the odds of a composite complication of intubation following failed NIPPV compared to patients intubated primarily in the medical intensive care unit (ICU). Methods: This

Abstract:

Emotional intelligence and risk taking behaviour are considered as significant factors through which people engage in organizations and in daily life. This dissertation formulates the linkage between emotional intelligence, positive affect, negative affect and risk taking behavior. The underlying principle of this study was to develop a sense of relationship between emotional intelligence, positive affect, negative affect, and the conduct of risk taking behavior amongst telecom companies providing the call center services in Pakistan. Afterwards mediating affect of positive and negative affect

Abstract:

Bipolar disorder is characterized by disruptions in mood and affect that occur not only during mood episodes, but during euthymic periods as well. At the same time, sensitivity of the behavioral activation system (BAS) has been implicated in the disorder and is a risk marker for it. Less clear is the relationship between BAS sensitivity and positive affect, particularly lower level facets of positive affect. The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between positive affect and vulnerability for mania as assessed using BAS sensitivity. Specifically, the link between daily

Abstract:

Existing research has predominantly focused on a limited range of childhood events and personality disorders, such as childhood maltreatment and borderline personality disorder. Moreover, researchers rarely account for multiple risk factors within the same study, despite the reality that childhood events do not occur in isolation. Therefore, the current research aims to contribute to the knowledge on childhood events and personality disorder symptoms by investigating a wider range of risk and protective factors in a community-based sample. The first study was a survey that identified common po
