Distinct Circle of Willis anatomical configurations in healthy preterm born adults: a 3D time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography study by Greggio, J, Malamateniou, C, Baruteau, KP, Reyes-Aldasoro, CC, Huckstep, OJ, Francis, JM, Williamson, W, Leeson, P, Lewandowski, AJ, Lapidaire, W

“…However, the incidence of absent segments was lower in preterm adults, who were more likely to exhibit variants associated with complete CoW configurations compared to full-term adults (p = 0.025). Preterm males had a higher probability of a group 1 variant (circles with one or more hypoplastic segments only) than the full-term group (p = 0.024). …”

A systematic review : sport management undergraduates' employability by Ng, Glinnis Xi Tong

“…The conclusions are as follows: (1) Top 5 competencies that were most mentioned in all reviewed articles are inter-personal communication skills/teamwork, attitude, professional competence, leadership qualities, and lastly, managerial ability. (2) More effort could be put into developing problem solving skills and independent thinking, providing contexts for applications of theoretical knowledge and managing prospective students’ expectations of the degree. (3) Entrepreneurial modules can have a greater emphasis in Sport Management curriculums.…”
