This study compared the effect of vitamin E on the course of influenza infection with that of other antioxidants. (In a previous study we showed that short-term vitamin E supplementation significantly decreased pulmonary viral titer in influenza-infected old mice). Eighteen-month-old C57BL/6NCrlBR mice were fed one of the following semisynthetic diets for 6 months: control, vitamin E supplement...

It is proved that EJ is injective if E is an injective module over a valuation ring R, for each prime ideal J 6= Z. Moreover, if E or Z is flat, then EZ is injective too. It follows that localizations of injective modules over h-local Prüfer domains are injective too. If S is a multiplicative subset of a noetherian ring R, it is well known that SE is injective for each injective R-module E. The...

BACKGROUND Sick note certification plays an important role in helping individuals access financial support and to return to work. Currently, hospital doctors receive very little training in sick note certification. AIMS To evaluate the level of training received by hospital doctors and identify training needs. METHODS A questionnaire was designed and distributed to doctors who were training...

Several challenges address the existing eAssessment systems, such as accurate evaluation, security and data privacy, performance, scalability etc. Our focus in this paper is on e-Assessment scalability and performance. We have developed a new SOA architecture of a cloud hosted e-Assessment system to achieve sustainable performance as a highly scalable and elastic solution. The proposed organiza...

AU Mic is a young, active star whose transiting planet was recently detected. We report our analysis of its TESS data, where we modeled the BY Draconis type quasi-periodic rotational modulation by starspots simultaneously to flaring activity and planetary transits. measured flare occurrence rate 6.35 flares per day for with amplitudes in range $0.06\% < f_{\rm max} 1.5\%$ flux. employed Bayesia...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the probable effects of the vitamin E addition in different levels to the extender of chicken semen on spermatozoa quality during storage of semen at 4°C for 0, 3, 6, 10 and 24 hours. Eight young Ross broiler breeder strain 308 roosters were used in this experiment. The collected semen from all roosters was mixed together and diluted with modified a Rin...

This study aims to develop interactive e-modules in the Multimedia Learning Course and know validity, practicality of effectiveness developing subject. research method used Research Development (R D), which focused on smartphone-based learning media, especially Android. The development model Alessi Trollip model, consisting 3 stages: planning, design, development. was conducted at Makassar Stat...

Simulation games are becoming increasingly popular in education, but more insight in their critical design features is needed. This study investigated the effects of fidelity of open patient cases in adjunct to an instructional e-module on students' cognitive skills and motivation. We set up a three-group randomized post-test-only design: a control group working on an e-module; a cases group, c...

BACKGROUND We developed and evaluated the outcomes of an e-learning course for evidence based medicine (EBM) training in postgraduate medical education in different languages and settings across five European countries. METHODS We measured changes in knowledge and attitudes with well-developed assessment tools before and after administration of the course. The course consisted of five e-learn...
