Objective: Oxidative stress that damages proteins result in aging and age related diseases. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of tocotrienol rich fraction (TRF) on the expression of proteins in oxidative stress-induced caenohabditis elegans (C.elegans) which has homologous genes to humans. Methods: The worms were treated with TRF prior to, after and continuously in separate group...

Low food availability is a major structuring force in deep-sea benthic communities, sustaining only very low densities of organisms in parts of the abyss. These low population densities may result in an Allee effect, whereby local reproductive success is inhibited, and populations are maintained by larval dispersal from bathyal slopes. This slope-abyss source-sink (SASS) hypothesis suggests tha...

Automatic machine translation systems are seen unable to produce publishable quality translation, so various computer-assisted translation systems that emphasize humanmachine cooperation have been proposed. However, translator collaboration technologies are underdeveloped, an area of great importance for large volume translation tasks. Ideally, all human translation knowledge is shared among tr...

Non-cognitive (“soft”) skills – allocating time and money effectively, teamwork, leadership, relationship management, acquiring and assimilating information – account as much for long-term economic success as cognitive ability and educational attainment. But these skills may be very difficult to teach in adulthood, especially to those with low baseline skill sets. Moreover, firms may be relucta...

PURPOSE To investigate the impact of health on job performance using two measures of productivity loss: (1) a self-reported measure of health-related presenteeism and (2) an objective measure of absenteeism. DESIGN A cross-sectional survey using a Health Risk Appraisal (HRA) to evaluate self-reported presenteeism and the prevalence of 12 health risks and eight medical conditions. SETTING AN...

This paper empirically explores the R&D promotion policy effects on SME performance measured by value-added productivity. We use a unique large panel data set on public R&D subsidy for Korean manufacturing firms. Econometrically, we control for counter-factual outcomes employing the DID (difference in differences) estimation procedure as well as for endogeneity of the R&D subsidy using the 2-st...

The health of a population is important from a public health and economic perspective as healthy individuals contribute to economic growth. Vaccination has the potential to contribute substantially to improving population health and thereby economic growth. Childhood vaccination programmes in Europe can offer protection against 15 important infectious diseases, thus preventing child fatalities ...

introduction: increasing numbers of chronic patients who need permanent support and staff members who are exposed to daily psychological stress highlight the need for hospitals which consider health promotion programs as a key service. health promotion program was introduced by the world health organization (who) in 1990 and has ever since been implemented by many countries throughout the world...
