The inadequacy of financial reports for meeting the information needs stakeholders has prompted companies to adopt non-financial communication systems (also called disclosure—NFD). Comparability NFD is an issue as it allows making sense information. Nevertheless, while some argue that comparability particularly difficult pursue in practice on a general level, can be achieved among belonging sam...

The probiotic Lactobacillus gasseri SBT2055 (LG2055) has anti-obesity effects. Obesity is closely correlated with inflammation in adipose tissue, and maintaining adipose tissue in a less-inflamed state requires intestinal integrity or a barrier function to protect the intestine from the disruption that can be caused by a high-fat diet (HFD). Here, we examined the anti-inflammatory and intestina...

This work proposes NFD.P4, a cache implementation scheme in Named Data Networking (NDN), to solve the problem of insufficient space prgrammable switch and realize practical application NDN. We transplant function NDN.P4 NDN Forwarding Daemon (NFD) server, which replace memory programmable switch.

Main Objective: To compare, through the OHIP-7Sp, impact on quality of life partially edentulous patients, according to WHO criteria “with functional dentition”, 21 or more teeth and “without less than teeth. Material Methods: 97 patients were selected between 35 75 years old, ASA I II with ≤ 28 remaining. Were divided in two groups, non-functional dentition (NFD) n=47 (FD) n=50. OHIP-7Sp surve...

OBJECTIVE Corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) is a rapid, noninvasive, clinical examination technique that quantifies small nerve fiber pathology. We have used it to assess the neurological benefits of pancreas transplantation in type 1 diabetic patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In 20 patients with type 1 diabetes undergoing simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation (SPK) and 15 cont...

Abstract Increasing evidence suggests natriuretic peptides (NPs) coordinate inter-organ metabolic crosstalk with adipose tissues and play a critical role in energy metabolism. We recently reported A-type NP (ANP) raises intracellular temperature cultured adipocytes low-temperature-sensitive manner. herein investigated whether exogenous ANP-treatment exerts significant impact on vivo. Mice fed h...

In recent years, sustainability has become one of the key dimensions business performance. The results obtained in terms must be adequately communicated suitable reports, quality which is determined by several factors. One these, breadth information provided, plays a significant role. aim this paper to measure broadness non-financial reports and correlate some selected variables that refer corp...

BACKGROUND Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver disease in the world. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) plays an important role in physiology and pathophysiology of liver. However, whether exogenous H2S could mitigate the hepatic steatosis in mice remains unclear. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of H2S on fatty liver. METHODS C57BL/6 mice were fed with eithe...

PURPOSE To determine whether immunomodulation with cyclosporine (CsA) affects reinnervation after surgical transection of stromal nerves. METHODS Thy1-YFP+ neurofluorescent mice underwent lamellar corneal surgery and 3 days later, received artificial tears or CsA eye drops for 6 weeks. Serial in vivo wide-field stereofluorescent microscopy was performed to determine changes in nerve fiber den...

Introduction: Multiple-choice questions (MCQs) are most widely used test format in health sciences today. The efficiency of MCQs as an efficient tool for evaluation solely rests upon theirquality which is best assessed by item and test analysis. Objectives:Toassess item and test quality and to explore the relationship between difficulty index (p-value) and discrimination indices (DI) with distr...
