the concept of overdiagnosis is a dominant topic in medical literature and discussions. in research that targets overdiagnosis, medicalisation is often presented as the societal and individual burden of unnecessary medical expansion. in this way, the focus lies on the influence of medicine on society, neglecting the possible influence of society on medicine. in this perspective, we aim to provi...

the holy quran is a friendly letter from our creator that contains many facetiaes, delicacies and ‎profound ‎implications for the guidence, growth and perfection of human as god’s successor.‎ the more accurate knowledge and understanding of verses of quran, as an epiphany of his ‎divine ‎names, is an incipience for their appearance in human and it requires a kind of awakening, ‎awareness ‎and i...

Relational mechanisms lie at the core of human cognitive organisation, expressed in everyday language by terms such as ‘bigger than’ and ‘smaller than’ and in formal symbolic systems by logical arguments such as A> B. Ordered as a series A>B> C furthermore, such relationally based mechanisms support transitive inferences of the sort that, given A>B and B>C, A must be bigger than C an important ...

the motivation for this work is to propose a first thorough review of dough rheological models used in numerical applications. although many models have been developed to describe dough rheological characteristics, few of them are employed by researchers in numerical applications. this article reviews them in detail and attempts to provide new insight into the use of dough rheological models.

Estimates of functional connectivity using resting state functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (rs-fMRI) are acutely sensitive to artifacts and large scale nuisance variation. As a result much effort is dedicated to preprocessing rs-fMRI data and using diagnostic measures to identify bad scans. One such diagnostic measure is DVARS, the spatial root mean square of the data after temporal differe...

The mechanisms of tissue changes induced by occlusal trauma are in no way comparable to orthodontic movement. In both events the primary cause is of a physical nature, but the forces delivered to dental tissues exhibit completely different characteristics in terms of intensity, duration, direction, distribution, frequency and form of uptake by periodontal tissues. Consequently, the tissue effec...

Preliminary analysis of data collected from trained expert facilitators of ad hoc creative teams suggests that complex analytical techniques such as costed function modeling and decision criteria matrix may have far more impact upon a team's creative effectiveness than frequently researched measures such as idea quantity. An intriguing relationship in these data between complex creativity and t...
