There are two types of sampling, which are probability sampling and non-probability sampling. Probability sampling includes simple random sampling, random sampling, stratified random sampling, and cluster or systematic sampling. Non-probability sampling includes purposive sampling, haphazard or convenience sampling, and quota sampling (Cozby & Bates, 2014; Leedy & Ormrod, 2010). Survey…

Abstract Objective: Snoring and body mass index (BMI) have been previously reported to be associated with metabolic syndrome(MetS). The aim of this study is to explore the individual effects and possible interaction of snoring and BMI on MetS. Methods: A total of 3794 coal miners aged 18-65 years old were recruited from Shanxi province of China. The individual effects were assessed by multivariable logistic regression model. The interaction on an additive scale between snoring and BMI was…

There is currently a nurse shortage that is increasing in intensity every year and as stated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration, by the year 2025 Arizona is estimated to have the greatest shortage of nurses. This shortage could be the result of a high turnover among nurses as a result of burnout. The nursing shortage forces nurses to increase their workload, meaning their patient to nurse ratio. With an increase in workload more…

Ozbay and Ozcan (2006) hypothesize that the findings that occurred in developed countries will be found in Turkey because they believe that Hirsch’s social bonding theory can be applied in any location. They are expecting to find an inverse relationship between delinquent behavior and attachment to teachers, school commitment, involvement in conventional activities, and positive beliefs (Ozbay and Ozcan, 2006). For Hart and Mueller (2012), they predict that social bond factors would be…

CRP, the level of troponin t discriminated those at higher risk for cardiac death, with higher troponin t being more hazardous. Nearly half of all cardiac deaths showed co-occurrence of high levels of both troponin t and CRP. The analysis was also stratified along with presence or absence of a history of CAD and by white race which showed no relation with biomarkers whatsoever. Coronary angiographic findings from sixty seven patients were recorded and, no significant clinical differences were…

These inhibitions are not correlated with these azoles but were used to assess power and parameter precision at the different extents of clearance inhibition. Optimal sampling times were determined using the D-optimal design based on the population PK model by Guilhaumou et al. A set dose of 1.4 mg/m2, capped at 2.0mg, infused over 1 hour was used in all simulations per treatment guidelines for vincristine. Input-Output…
