Knowledge and awareness of analgesic use among outpatients in Universiti Sains Malaysia by Sahrel, Siti Rashida

“…However, the factor that influences lack of knowledge and attitude among outpatient community was not identified in this study as it shows no association between selected sociodemographic characteristics (age, gender, level of education) with neither level of knowledge of analgesic use, nor level of attitude of analgesic use. Regardless of the finding, an appropriate actions and strategies should be taken immediately to solve these issues and improve the knowledge and the attitude of analgesic use among outpatient community setting so that the community have better understanding and having good attitude of analgesic use and consume it in correct ways.…”

Interface and surface cation stoichiometry modified by oxygen vacancies in epitaxial manganite films by Li, Zhi Peng, Bosman, Michel, Yang, Zhen, Ren, Peng, Wang, Lan, Zhu, Weiguang, Dong, Zhili, Foo, Yong Lim, Cao, Liang, Yu, Xiaojiang, Ke, Chang, Breese, Mark B. H., Rusydi, Andrivo

“…The results narrow the selection range of useful oxygen pressures during deposition and demonstrate that accurate cation stoichiometry can only be achieved after oxygen vacancies are eliminated during growth. This finding suggests that the oxygen pressure serves as a tuning parameter for the interfacial dead layers and, hence, for control over device properties.…”
