How to improve workers’ satisfaction: The promise of emotional intelligence and work engagement
There is an increased attention paid to which psychological factors help individuals to deal with their daily work-related demands so they feel healthier, happier, and more satisfied at their work. Job satisfaction is a multidimensional psychological response
Exploring early mechanotransduction responses
Mechanical stress plays a key role in cellular behaviour and fate, affecting the correct development and functionality of tissues and organs. Due to the complexity of the in vivo cellular environment, most mechanotransduction research relies on the
Proteins identified in the immune system of crayfish
Invertebrates characteristically only possess mechanisms of innate immunity, both cellular and humoral, that appear to be activated depending on the pathogens involved. These defense mechanisms are triggered by the activation of the pathogen recognition receptors (PRR). The
The dental nerve circulates in a canal within the mandible
The inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) is a sensitive branch of the trigeminal nerve, the 5th pair of cranial nerves. It has an intraosseous path in the mandible, inside the mandibular canal, where it is accompanied by lymphatic,
How processing types change the elemental composition of rice?
According to FAO – Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, world’s rice production reached 501.2 million tonnes in 2016-17 season, which is related to rice being a staple for 7 billion people. Asia is the
Grisel’s syndrome linked to mycoplasma pneumoniae infection
Grisel’s syndrome is a no traumatic atlanto axial subluxation often linked to inflammatory conditions of the head and neck region. The subluxation involves the connection between the first and the second cervical vertebrae and is recognized to
Inside out: treating infants with gastroschisis
For many parents the first images of their baby on the ultrasound is a joyful time. How many fingers? How many toes? Is it a boy or a girl? For some families however, they are told that
Risk due to explosion of the tank with LPG
Accident events that lead to tank explosion include Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion (BLEVE), Mechanical Explosion (ME), Confined Explosion (CE) and Runaway Reaction (RR). Accidents that are accompanied by the explosion of the tank are distinguished by
HIV-1 alters mitochondria in neurons and contributes to HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders
Human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV) enters the brain during the initial stages of infection and can cause neurologic dysfunction. Despite the success of HIV treatment through combination antiretroviral therapy (ART), impaired neurocognitive function remains an important problem
Access to modified peptides with heterocycle backbones using combinatorial chemistry
Applications of peptides in medicinal chemistry have several inherent limitations which can be resolved by use of peptide-like molecules. The cleavage of amide bond by proteases, low permeability, rapid metabolic processing, excretion and unwanted side effects are
Granular aluminum oxide thin films for quantum technologies: electric transport and noise properties
Quantum computation is one of the most attracting research fields, due to the possibility of implementing computational machines much more performant than classical computers. In the last yeas, great progresses have been achieved both from a theoretical
Prevalence of cardiovascular disease in Bangladesh: Synthesis of evidence
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are among the leading causes of death globally and most deaths (80%) occur in low- and middle-income countries like Bangladesh. A significant increase in the prevalence (the number of people with CVD, divided by
Ganglioneuromatosis of the canine gallbladder
Ganglioneuromatosis (GN) is a rare, poorly demarcated, multinodular to diffuse, exuberant hyperplastic proliferation of ganglion cells and nerves of the autonomic nervous system. Human GN may occur anywhere in the alimentary tract from the oral cavity to
Green synthesized Ag/AgCl nanoparticles using Malva Sylvestris aqueous leaf extracts
Nanoparticles are molecular or atomic aggregations with a size range of 1-100 nm. Their physical and chemical properties are different from bulk materials with the same formula. They can be produced by chemical, physical and green methods;
Charme, the missing link in myogenesis
The central dogma of molecular biology stated that genes encode for proteins and that DNA, which makes up our genomes, mainly produces RNAs which are translated into proteins. However, the completion of the human genome sequence together
Can hidden Ectomyelois ceratonia infestation be detected non-destructively? NIR spectroscopy has a good answer for pomegranates
In recent decades, near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has been accepted as a powerful non-destructive testing (NDT) technology for quality assessment of most materials in most industries such as chemistry, medicine, agrofood, etc. This optical technology is rapid, safe,
Therapy of osteoporosis by the transdermal formulation based on raloxifene nanoparticles in ovariectomized rat
Osteoporosis results from insufficient post-menopausal estrogen levels and collapse of the balance between osteoclasts and osteoblasts, and the osteoporosis is a common systemic skeletal condition that is related to low bone mineral density and pathological fractures. The
Early detection of “insulin balls” using ultrasonography
Diabetes patients often suffer from subcutaneous induration at insulin injection sites during insulin therapy. Among the different types of subcutaneous complications of insulin injection, lipohypertrophy and insulin-derived amyloidosis (IDA) are defined as tumor-like enlargements of adipose tissue
Novel drug treatment for human infection with H7N9- avian influenza A
The H7N9 subtype of avian influenza is an enzootic and airborne virus which caused an influenza outbreak in China. Infected individuals mostly worked with poultry, suggesting H7N9 virus-infected poultry as the primary source of human infection. Significantly
Cannabinoid receptors and incidental associations: a way to creativity?
Animals and humans adapt to changes in the environment through previous experiences. In our daily life, while we are engaged in a particular activity or social event, we are continuously surrounded by random associations between low salience
