Background and Objectives: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic intestinal disorder, which is characterized by irritating pain during defecation or alteration of the bowel habits.In the curent study, the association of dietary glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) with the risk of this syndrome, was investigated in a large population of
In policy implementation chiefs wine glass the roles of ambiguity and uncertainty have been theorized but insufficiently tested.This study contributes to the policy process literature by arguing that ambiguity and uncertainty are two sides of the same coin in implementation.Their effects are linked to the credibility of policy, the clarity of goals
Anthropogenic activities and subsequent global climate change instigate drastic crop productivity and yield changes.These changes comprise a rise in the number and severity of plant stress factors, which can arise simultaneously or sequentially.When abiotic stress factors are combined, their impact on plants is more substantial than that of a singl
Although the activity patterns of bats are recognized to vary widely, both, temporally and spatially, the underlying drivers for those patterns remain poorly understood.Presently, studies focusing on foraging bat ecology have only generalized activity and influence of the environment (across sampling periods, sampling nights, or seasons).The influe
Distribution systems are under constant stress due to their highly variable operating conditions, which jeopardize distribution transformers and lines, degrading the end-user service.Due to midnight drive nail polish transformer regulation, variable loads can generate voltage profiles out of the acceptable bands recommended by grid codes, affecting
