Explanatory Model of Self-Efficacy for Cervical Cancer Screening by Angela-Cristina Yanez Corrales, Maria-Teresa Urrutia, Oslando Padilla

“…Results: The factors that explain high levels of SE are low levels of education and knowledge of the risk factors of CC, better beliefs about the barriers to and benefits of a Papanicolaou (Pap) test, participation in breast cancer screening, and highly functional family Apgar. Conclusions: To administer as many CC screening as possible, achieve effective interventions, and reach optimal coverage rates, it is necessary to consider social determinants, collaborate with other cancer screening programs, and work toward the beliefs of the population.…”

Ambivalent partnership of the Drosophila posterior class Hox protein Abdominal-B with Extradenticle and Homothorax. by Jesús R Curt, Paloma Martín, David Foronda, Bruno Hudry, Ramakrishnan Kannan, Srividya Shetty, Samir Merabet, Andrew J Saurin, Yacine Graba, Ernesto Sánchez-Herrero

“…Hox proteins, a sub-group of the homeodomain (HD) transcription factor family, provide positional information for axial patterning in development and evolution. Hox protein functional specificity is reached, at least in part, through interactions with Pbc (Extradenticle (Exd) in Drosophila) and Meis/Prep (Homothorax (Hth) in Drosophila) proteins. …”

A novel blockchain technology-based supply chain coordination considering classified after-sales services of electronic products by Xiaoqing Huang, Rui Chen, Yanhong Wan, Haiping Ren

“…When constructing the model, this study incorporates the influence of quality control levels on product market demand and after-sales rate, and, in combination with the characteristics of electronic products, depicts the classification function of after-sales services. Through analysis, the main conclusions of this study are as follows: The manufacturer chooses to misreport only when it loses its dominant position, and the final misreporting decision will cause the retailer to lose the game advantage and is unfavorable to the supply chain; the retailer will take the initiative to introduce blockchain technology only when the cost of blockchain is less than a certain value, and whether the supply chain benefits from blockchain introduction depends on its cost; with the help of blockchain technology, the quality control level of products can be improved and the supply chain can reach a coordinated state.…”
