Objective: In 2004, the province of Aceh, Indonesia was rocked by tsunami and in September 2009, West Sumatra, Indonesia was hit by an earthquake. The aim of this study was to determine the long-term psychological impact on the residents inhabiting these regions and to identify factors associated with it. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conduc

Wolfram syndrome (WFS) is a rare neurodegerative disorder which is characterized by presentation of diabetes insipidus, juvenile diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy and deafness. We describe a case of WFS with presentation of psychosis. A 17-year-old female presented with psychiatric manifestations, namely inappropriate behaviour and second person aud

Background: Depressive Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) is considered as a suitable tool to be used in the clinical practice and/or research. The use of DASS-21 as a higher-order measure of psychological distress was supported by the data in the first part of this study. In the present study the three constructs of DASS have been used in predicti

Denture stomatitis is common disease among maxillary denture wearers. Sixty Wistar rats were involved in this study devided into 2 experiment group in addition to 1 control group each contain 20 rats, group 1A include 10 animals fitted with acrylic and inoculated with candida albicans , group 1 B 10 animals were fitted with acrylic only , while in

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effect of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)-coated Ti implants on osteoconduction in white New Zealand rabbit mandibles. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Sandblasted and cleansed planar titanium specimens with a size of 5 × 5 × 1 mm were coated on one side with 0.25 vol% eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). The other side of the specimens w

In this present paper, we consider the p-adic Ising Vannimenus model on the Cayley tree of order two. A new measure-theoretical approach (in the p-adic sense) to investigate such a model is proposed. The main result of this paper is to establish the existence of the phase transition for the model. By the phase transition we mean the existence of at

We provide a solvability criterion for a cubic equation in domains . We show that, in principal, the Cardano method is not always applicable for such equations. Moreover, the numbers of solutions of the cubic equation in domains are provided. SinceJuly 8, 2014 15:29 WSPC/S1793-0421 203-IJNT 1450020 International Journal of Number Theory Vol. 10, No

A quadratic stochastic operator (QSO) is usually used to present the time evolution of differing species in biology. Some quadratic stochastic operators have been studied by Lotka and Volterra. The general problem in the nonlinear operator theory is to study the behavior of operators. This problem was not fully finished even for quadratic stochasti

In the present paper, we study dynamics of Lotka-Volterra (LV) type operators defined in finite dimensional simplex. We introduce a new class of LV-type operators, called MLV type. Some concrete examples are also provided. We prove that trajectories of such kind of operators converge, and moreover, we find an estimation for fixed points of the intr
