The predictors of successful methotrexate treatment of tubal ectopic pregnancy by Eiman Abdelfattah-Arafa (18184966)

“…Older age, higher initial levels of β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) hormone, the presence of pelvic pain, and foetal cardiac activity had increased risk of treatment failure. In the future, research could consider the relationship between the size of the ectopic pregnancy and the treatment outcomes and refine the β-hCG level cut-off for better treatment effects.…”

The downsides of information systems security policy compliance efforts by Balozian, Puzant

“…It is widely believed in IS security literature that enforcing IS security policy compliance on employees through various means is the solution for security effectiveness. Nevertheless, this dissertation challenges that notion and advances a stream of research that suggests increasing security measures may lead to decrease in user productivity, increased user mistrust toward the IT department, increased user frustration, increased user technology avoidance, increased non-malicious volitional security violations and overall may lead to increased security risk, instead of decreasing it. …”
