تهدف الورقة بصورة أساسية إلى التعرف على السياسات التي يمارسها الاتحاد الأوروبي تجاه دول المغرب العربي قبل وبعد ثورات الربيع لفترة زمنية محددة. من خلال هذه البحثية، سوف يتضح كيفية تدخل في البلدان، وهل يعد سلبياُ أو إيجابياً طرح قضايا الهجرة والإرهاب، والطاقة، والديمقراطية لبلدان محل الدراسة الثورات. المقارنات المستنتجة يتم تحليلها بطريقة تمحيصية، ومعرفة أسباب الاختلاف. هذا الصدد وكما سيتضح لاحقًا أ...

Renewable energy production has been increasing at a tremendous rate in the past decades. This increase led to various benefits such as low cost of and making independent fossil fuels. However, order fully reap renewable produce an optimum manner, it is essential that we forecast production. Historically deep learning-based techniques have successful accurately forecasting solar In this paper d...

OBJECTIVES To compare long-term care (LTC) residents with and without multiple sclerosis (MS); to compare admission status of pain, physical disability, pressure ulcers, depression, and cognitive performance in LTC residents with and without MS; and to examine the impact of MS and pain on outcomes 90 and 180 days after LTC admission. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of a large data set. SETTIN...

Long-term culture-initiating cells (LTC-IC) are hematopoietic progenitors able to generate colony-forming unit-cells (CFU) after 5 to 8 weeks (35 to 60 days) of culture on bone marrow (BM) stroma and represent the most primitive progenitors currently detectable in vitro. We have recently reported that long-term cultures initiated with CD34+CD38- cells from BM or cord blood are able to continue ...

We have shown that stromal O-sulfated heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycans (O-S-GAGs) regulate primitive human hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC) growth and differentiation by colocalizing heparin-binding cytokines and matrix proteins with HPC in stem cell "niches" in the marrow microenvironment. We now show that long-term culture-initiating cells (LTC-IC) are maintained for 5 weeks in the absen...

BACKGROUND Lung volume reduction (LVR) improves breathing mechanics by reducing hyperinflation. Lobar selection usually focuses on choosing the most destroyed emphysematous lobes as seen on an inspiratory CT scan. However, it has never been shown to what extent these densitometric CT parameters predict the least deflation of an individual lobe during expiration. The addition of expiratory CT an...

Introduction: There is an increasing demand of social and health services by persons with long-term care (LTC) needs. On the other hand the devolution process has shifted governance and funding to regional agencies in many EU countries. Regional agencies are getting an increasing role in funding LTC. Knowledge transfer (KT) plays a key role in the development of regional funding agencies, as th...

BACKGROUND Potentially inappropriate antipsychotic use in long-term care (LTC) facilities has been the focus of significant policy and clinical attention over the past 20 years. However, most initiatives aimed at reducing the use of these medications have overlooked assisted living (AL) settings. OBJECTIVE We sought to compare the prevalence of antipsychotic use (including potentially inappro...
