abstract background: conflict is the lack of agreement and disagreement between the two men, and behavioral maladjustment or objectives that are in opposition to the other. destructive conflicts are incidents imposed on one or more than one member of the family or the whole family and affect on them. the purpose of this research is to study the effect of solution - focused short-term approach o...

The development of new technologies has confronted the entire domain of science and industry with issues of big data's scalability as well as its integration with the purpose of forecasting analytics in its life cycle. In predictive analytics, the forecast of near-future and recent past - or in other words, the now-casting - is the continuous study of real-time events and constantly updated whe...

BACKGROUND Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is known for its high incidence of neck lymph node metastasis, which represents poor prognosis. The present study aimed to examine the anti-metastatic properties of Selaginella tamariscina extract (STE) in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma HONE-1 cells in vitro. METHODS Cell viability was examined by MTT assay, whereas cell motility was measured by invas...

The present study aims at developing an aggregate financial stability index by using banking sector indices to assess financial stability and examine if the variable of credit-to-GDP gap corresponds to its long-term trend which represents the macro-prudential indicator has co-movement with the built financial stability index? To this end, monthly banking balance sheet data were collected from t...

Drosophila melanogaster males deficient for the crystal (cry) locus of the Y chromosome that carry between 15 and 60 copies of the X-linked Stellate (Ste) gene are semisterile, have elevated levels of nondisjunction, produce distorted sperm genotype ratios (meiotic drive), and evince hyperactive transcription of Ste in the testes. Ste seems to be the active element in this system, and it has be...

Post-tetanic potentiation (PTP) is a form of homosynaptic plasticity important for information processing and short-term memory in the nervous system. The synapsins, a family of synaptic vesicle (SV)-associated phosphoproteins, have been implicated in PTP. Although several synapsin functions are known to be regulated by phosphorylation by multiple protein kinases, the role of individual phospho...

The purpose of this study was to determine whether exposure of cultured chemically transformed hamster oral keratinocytes (HCPC-1) to an aqueous extract of smokeless tobacco (STE) potentiates DNA synthesis elicited by vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), an autocrine neuropeptide, and, if so, whether this response is associated with inactivation of neutral endopeptidase 24.11 (NEP 24. 11), an e...
