The management of patients with spinal cord astrocytoma remains controversial, and there are currently no universally accepted treatment guidelines. As described in previous studies, the most significant predictor of survival in patients with SCA is the pathological grade of this disorder [4, 5, 12]. In the present study, similarly, patients who had low-grade SCA had a significantly better prognosis than those with high-grade SCA. Additionally, the role of surgical resection remains unclear,…

There has been several research studies done on the relationship between crime and the use of alcohol and other substances. An academic journal titled published an article titled "Drug Use and Violent crime among adolescents" they reference many findings of previous research that reveal that in comparison to marijuana and heroin, alcohol use is more strongly and frequently associated with both violent and nonviolent offenses. Another research result "implied" that among delinquents, violent…

Often than not, personality is used as an indicator to determine employees’ future performance before they are hired as an employee…

Introduction In the past years, the accessibility of the internet has increased (Hawi, Blachnio, & Przepiorka, 2015). Because the internet is becoming more readily available, the number of people who use it is has increased as well (Hawi, Blachnio, & Przepiorka, 2015). The internet can be used to perform many tasks such as class assignments, job-related tasks, leisure activities, and much more (Deatherage, Servaty-Seib, & Aksoz, 2014). Although the internet can be a useful resource, it may…

a particular purpose. The Jordan River has other rivers flowing into it so it has multiple different sources of water. The physical predictors such as habitat type, channel type, temperature, and flow rate can assess the quality. Chemical predictors such as pH, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity can also assess the quality of a stream. Thirdly, the biological predictors, such as macroinvertebrates, can assess stream quality. Macroinvertebrates can be used to assess stream water quality because they…

However, one social condition, income equality is positively associated with homicide rate (Lafree, 1999). Researcher, Lafree (1999) made six generalizations about factors that indicate homicide rates and found that inequality was the most constant predictor of homicide…

cross-sectional. The result showed that an individual social capital had a positive predictor for civic actions in both samples (Son & Lin, 2008). An organizational network was the greatest contributor for express civic action (Son & Lin, 2008). In the national sample, social capital did not facilitate expressive civic actions (Son & Lin, 2008). The community pooled showed that social capital had positive predictors for expressive civic actions (Son & Lin,…

Although technique and natural talent are big factors in music performing, some music research suggests that a major skill needed for a developing music performer is the ability to sight-read (Paul), which is an important factor in acquiring and expanding music literacy (Gromko). However, music literacy is a compositional skill that requires many different abilities (Gromko, Lehmann & Ericsson). In relation to studies on English literacy acquisition techniques, little research has been…

& Posavac, 2005). Supporting this theory, Stormer & Thompson (1995) compared the developmental theory and the sociocultural theory of body image. Social comparison and societal factors associated with the social-cultural theory were significant predictors of body dissatisfaction and eating disturbances; weight-based teasing explained a small portion of the variance; and age of menarche did not significantly…

Fluid resuscitation of trauma patients in a state of hypovolemic shock has traditionally been assessed by clinical parameters, such as heart rate, blood pressure, central venous pressure and urine output. However, these endpoints of volume replacement could be misleading in patients with compensated shock. In addition, tissue hypoperfusion following vasoconstriction cannot be ruled out. An ideal marker of adequate resuscitation is one that accurately and reliably assesses resolution of tissue…
