The purpose of this study is to examine the relative contribution and the relationships between formal (treatment related members) • informal (family members) concrete support and discharge disposition. A total of 172 women interviewed upon intake in one of 3 counties funded substance abuse treatment programs in Cleveland, Ohio. Hierarchical logistic regression was performed to assess the impact of formal concrete support and informal concrete support on the likelihood of a discharge disposition of completed treatment. Formal concrete support showed a statistically significant contribution to discharge disposition, while informal concrete support did not. Findings of this study highlight the importance of formal concrete support. Future research should continue to expand our knowledge of how support from formal treatment services interacts with support from informal (family) networks.

Traditional hydraulic structures rely on manual visual inspection for apparent integrity, which is not only time-consuming and labour-intensive but also inefficient. The efficacy of deep learning models is frequently constrained by the size of available data, resulting in limited scalability and flexibility. Furthermore, the paucity of data diversity leads to a singular function of the model that cannot provide comprehensive decision support for improving maintenance measures.

Introduction: Cryptorchidism impairs sperm development and increases the risk of infertility and testicular cancer. Estrogen signalling is critical for proper descent of the testicles, and hormonal imbalances play a role in cryptorchidism. CYP19, also known as aromatase, encodes an enzyme that converts testosterone, a male sex hormone, into estradiol, the main form of estrogen.

With the continuous clamor for a reduction in embodied carbon in cement, rapid solution to climate change, and reduction to resource depletion, studies into substitute binders become crucial. These cementitious binders can potentially lessen our reliance on cement as the only concrete binder while also improving concrete functional properties. Finer particles used in cement microstructure densify the pore structure of concrete and enhance its performance properties.

The paper presents new evidence collected in the last five years supporting the Words As social Tools proposal on abstract concepts. We discuss findings revolving around three central tenets. First, we show that-like concrete concepts-also abstract concepts evoke sensorimotor experiences, even if to a lower extent, and that they are linked to inner experiences (e.

Background: Improving the efficiency of ophthalmology service is a global challenge to fight vision impairment, yet there is little concrete evidence of the current efficiency status. This study aimed to examine the efficiency of ophthalmology departments in the Hunan Province, China, and determine the associating factors of low-efficiency and high-efficiency ophthalmology departments.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included a province-level survey of ophthalmology departments of public hospitals.
