Therefore, the density and relative abundance of lower-competence hosts is more important than the mere presence/absence of lower-competence hosts in driving this mechanism.
Compulsorily treated patients tend to have a greater number of previous admissions, a history of childhood sexual or physical abuse or previous self-harm, and a lower WAIS-R full IQ score, which may point to a more intractable nature of disorder or a lower competence to make treatment decisions [ 11, 12].
The lower competence in terms of peer relations of children of PPD mothers may further hinder this adjustment to school.
However, oocytes of pre-pubertal females have lower competence, blastocyst production, and pregnancy rates than those collected from pubertal animals.
An earlier study assessing the clinical competence of NPCs operating at PHCs in India found that RMAs are as competent as physicians in primary care settings, while AYUSH physicians received lower competence scores, and paramedics the lowest.
Nevertheless, around one quarter of graduates did not have contact with acutely ill patients in emergency or intensive care units, which may link to the above-mentioned results of lower self-assessed competence regarding "Medical emergencies".
Transmission reduction is regulated by the relative densities of higher- versus lower-competence hosts in the local community [1].
Adverse effects of SSLPs emerged for children of teen mothers (14% of sample), however, in terms of lower verbal ability and social competence and more behaviour problems than their counterparts in comparison areas.
Being a clinician with a medical degree, however, was indicative of lower levels of self-reported competence in bioterrorism.
However, the primary finding of this study was that clinicians consistently self-assessed themselves as lower in competence, and clinicians with medical degrees self-assessed themselves as the lowest in bioterrorism competence.
However, it is also possible that this effect is peculiar to the young speakers only, and is likely a reflection of young speakers' lower Min competence, as negative correlation between proficiency and variability was analogously found in L2 speakers [cf. Nip and Blumenfeld (2015)].
