Mechanisms Driving Resistance To Oxidative Stress During Endometrial Stromal Cell Decidualization

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Decidualization is the transformation of endometrial stromal cells into functionally specialized cells during the early stages of pregnancy. Occurring in mammals that develop invasive hemochorial placentae, decidualization is a pivotal evolutionary adaptation in mammals that supports pregnancy establishment, implantation, and placentation in a limited number of animal species. During decidualization, an endometrial stromal cell undergoes profound genetic, epigenetic, and proteomic changes, allowing it to prevent immunological rejection and fostering the development of a newly implanted embryo. To tolerate the cellular reprogramming that occurs during decidualization, a stromal cell must withstand reactive oxygen species (ROS), inflammation, and oxidative stress associated with …

Optimizing Traffic Signal Timings Using Real Time Data Analytics, Hamad Abdulla Binsultan

Theses

City traffic jams have become a major challenge for contemporary cities, causing delays, increased fuel consumption, and other environmental impacts. Conventional traffic signal controlling systems usually depend on fixed or preset signal plans that are incompetent to adjust themselves with changing traffic conditions. Traffic signal timings are optimized across the intersection health of the system by processing real-time data analytics. Through real-time data analytics, traffic flow efficiency is improved while waiting time at signalized intersections is reduced. Using traffic real-time data like vehicle counts, vehicle types, time of day and day of the week to see howtraffic behaves under different …

Menumbuhkan Kepercayaan Untuk Loyalitas Merek Yang Berkelanjutan: Peran Kualitas, Nilai, Kepuasan, Dan Diferensiasi Dalam Layanan Terapi Anak, Riefka Anggraini Riefani

Jurnal Administrasi Bisnis Terapan

Parental loyalty toward child therapy services is a critical factor in ensuring the sustainability of child development therapy centers. This study aims to analyze the effects of perceived quality, perceived value, perceived satisfaction, and perceived differentiation on brand trust and brand loyalty within the context of a child development therapy center. The study adopts a quantitative explanatory approach using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM–PLS). A total of 784 respondents who had utilized pediatric therapy services participated in this study. The results indicate that brand trust is the strongest predictor of brand loyalty (β = 0.386; p < 0.001). Perceived differentiation exerts the strongest influence on brand trust (β = 0.399; p < 0.001). Perceived quality significantly affects brand trust but does not have a direct effect on brand loyalty. Meanwhile, perceived satisfaction and perceived value significantly influence both brand trust and brand loyalty. These findings underscore that parental loyalty is shaped by a combination of trust, service differentiation, satisfaction, and perceived value. This study provides important managerial implications for the development of effective strategies in pediatric therapy services.
