[Purpose] This study aimed to investigate the effects of horse-riding exercise on balance, gait, and activities of daily living (ADLs) in stroke patients. [Subjects] Among 20 participants with stroke, 10 were randomly assigned to the experimental group, and 10 were randomly assigned to the control group. The experimental group participated in horse-riding exercise for 30 minutes per day, 5 days...

Background and Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the predictability of the PLS-SEM model for injuries resulting in hospitalization in motorcyclists using a mediator variable in a case-control study.   Methods: In this case-control study, 300 cases and 156 controls were randomly selected from 150 clusters using random cluster sampling. The data were collected using the motorcy...

introduction: motorcyclists play an important part in increasing the death toll form road accidents in study is designed to identify the risky behaviors experienced by the motorcyclists which is believed to help promote the safety of them and other members of the community. materials and methods: this was a qualitative study and we selected a sample of motorcyclists from different parts of tehr...

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) is a self-organizing resource sharing network with no centralized authority or infrastructure, which makes it unpredictable and vulnerable. In this paper, we propose architecture to make the peer-to-peer network more centralized, predictable, and safer to use by implementing trust and stopping free riding. Keywords— File Share, Free Riding, Peer-to-Peer, Trust.

Smallholder producers in developing countries often collaborate teams that take advantage of scale economies and allocate surplus among members. We experimentally evaluate team-level incentive contracts for quality upgrading Indian dairy cooperatives where there is a risk free-riding because individual cannot be traced. Incentives improve aggregate quality, with evidence increased effort from b...

BACKGROUND:The increasing number of motorcyclists in Nigeria has led to a rise in poor road safety practices leading to increased rate of accidents. This study was conducted to implement and evaluate the effect of safety education on riding habits of motorcyclists in Uyo, Nigeria. METHODS: The intervention study was conducted among commercial motorcyclists in Uyo with controls from another town...

STUDY DESIGN The feasibility of inserting a screw for the narrow isthmus with a high-riding vertebral artery was evaluated in patients subjected to posterior atlantoaxial transarticular screw fixation. OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the feasibility of inserting bilateral screws and obtaining a stable atlantoaxial complex for patients with a high-riding vertebral artery. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA...
