This paper explores the impact of cloud computing on education at both the macro/institutional level and the micro level of student learning. It argues that the technology not only benefits educational institutions through simultaneous cost reductions and enhanced functionality, but that it can also develop…

In business practice in order to evaluate clients’ risk of failure, banks often use risk index models. These models represent techniques which are very easy for practical implementation but without mathematical/statistical sophistication. Academic research starting from Altman’s seminal paper often employs different highly sophisticated techniques…

Occupational stress is a global phenomenon that concerns employees, employers and specialists from various fields: psychologists, sociologists, doctors, engineers, economists, hygiene specialists and last but not least mathematicians. If economists have calculated the costs of this phenomenon by showing influences on the productivity, profit, the…

In this article, we will review the evidence on earnings management in distressed firms, in particular, during the periods before filing for bankruptcy. Knowing about the distortion of the accounting numbers through the failing firm is important for all stakeholders who make their decisions based…

Knowledge sharing represents one of the main knowledge processes intensively studied and developed by both academicians and practitioners. This process is apparently influenced by many factors, where organisational culture possesses a leading position. Therefore, this manuscript analyses the mutual interrelationship between corporate culture and knowledge…

Background and Importance: Simultaneous bilateral intracerebral haemorrhages (ICH) are exceedingly rare with only a few cases reported in the literature. Identified causes include systemic arterial hypertension, amyloid angiopathy, vasculitis, diabetic ketoacidosis and cerebral mucormycosis. Only 19 cases report an association between haemorrhagic infarct and preceding…

Burkitt’s lymphoma is the commonest childhood malignancy in tropical Africa and is rare outside of Africa. Cavernous sinus lymphoma is a rare occurence and Burkitt’s lymphoma  of the cavernous sinus is uncommon. We review the case of a 52-year-old non-african and immuno-competent woman who developed…

In winter sports, the high injury rate among adolescents raises questions about the way they practice their sport. It also raises interrogations on the impact of an injury on their behavior on the slopes. The few studies that looked at the relationship between previous injury…

To improve cultivation or extraction methods for maximum lipid yield, a fast and reliable quantitative determination of the lipid content of microalgae in cultivation medium is desirable. Here, we investigated the applicability of Nile red staining for a rapid quantification of neutral lipids in-vivo, without…

High performance polymers exhibiting multifunctional characteristics can be achieved by the introduction of inorganic nanoparticles like ZnO(Zinc oxide) into the functional polymers. In the present work a copolymer epoxy poly (dimethylacrylamide) was synthesized to disperse the ZnO nanoparticles. The aim of the work is to…
