Institutional specificities at country level also play a role in shaping the propensity of researchers to engage with industry.
Compared to the dual system, full-time school-based vocational training is far more subject to institutional specificities: An intermediate school degree often represents the minimum requirement (Dobischat 2010).
Overall, our results suggest that the institutional specificities of emerging economies such as those in the GCC can sustain high levels of multiple directorships, which could impair the quality of corporate governance.
These agents integrate institutions through historic specificity and rationality to enter the decision-making arena, and use their logic of action to display their power to bring about institutional change.
The small sample size, geographic specificity, and single institutional affiliation of our study's participants may not be generalizable to primary care clinicians nationally, whereas the 2000 survey was conducted with a larger national sample of internists and family practice physicians.
Specificities of the Dutch institutional landscape notwithstanding, we believe our analysis also offers broader insights into the dynamics at work at the interface of research and care in clinical biobanking.
This discussion of the specificity of the large firm with institutional properties is related to a general history of large firms and it contributes as well for a theory of change.
UWS patients tended to die more often in institutional care (P = 0.051, sensitivity = 0.29, specificity = 0.41, Likelihood ratio = 0.48).
Tables 3 and 4 (ITD and PP populations, respectively) summarise the sensitivity and specificity by expert clinical diagnosis for on-site, institutional reads.
In sum, cerebral imaging remains the main criterion, despite a lower sensitivity and specificity being reported in population-based studies compared to institutional studies.
