Sources of psychological and emotional discomfort of students and methodological ways to overcome it by Elena V. Maksimyuk

“…An analysis of the answers showed that the majority of respondents are ready to independently solve the problems of psycho-emotional discomfort by improving knowledge, more thorough preparation for classes, raising self-confidence, as well as by timely solving emerging issues and constructive dialogue with the teacher. In the final part, based on the identified sources and factors, methodological recommendations are formulated on how to eliminate the psycho-emotional discomfort of students in the classroom.…”

Funding the New Biologics – CCOHTA Report on the Cost Effectiveness of Infliximab for Crohn’s Disease: Pearls and Pitfalls by John K Marshall

“…The analysis was rigorous, the best available efficacy and safety data were used, state-of-the art sensitivity analyses were undertaken and an ‘acceptability curve‘ was constructed. The model found that infliximab was effective in increasing quality-adjusted life years when offered in a variety of protocols, but it was associated with high incremental cost utility ratios compared with usual care. …”

Output Ripple Difference and Following Lightweight Design of External Gear Pumps and Motors by Wang Hao, Song Anran, Li Yulong

“…In order to clarify the different output mechanism and following ripple difference between external gear pump and motor, based on the reverse design method from performance to gear parameter and special involute feature without undercut, from the contact ratio factor which can best reflect output ripple performance and trapped-oil performance, teeth number which can best reflect lightweight effect as constructed variables of involute profile, the function expressions of dimensionless normal length outside pitch circle and other involute profile parameters are derived, and then the ripple factor formulas of output flow for gear pump and output speed for gear motor are reconstructed. …”

Bayesian hierarchical network autocorrelation models for estimating direct and indirect effects of peer hospitals on outcomes of hospitalized patients by Guanqing Chen, A. James O’Malley

“…A Bayesian approach is used for model estimation while a simulation study assesses the performance of the models and sensitivity of results to different prior distributions. We construct a United States New England region patient-sharing hospital network and apply newly developed Bayesian hierarchical models to study the diffusion of robotic surgery and hospital peer effects in patient outcomes using a cohort of United States Medicare beneficiaries in 2016 and 2017. …”
