This 'troublesome issue' (Nicol et al. 2014, p. 102) has long been a challenge for both staff and students even before the introduction of the National Student Survey (NSS) and remains the weakest factor in NSS (Bell and Brooks 2017).
Concluding these observations, the muscle remains the weak factor in the regenerative process, since an atrophy of the muscle limits the functional outcome even after successful microsurgical reconstruction of nerve continuity.
Ominously, consumption was one of the weakest factors in the government's initial second-quarter GDP forecast released Monday.
Chronic intraductal gallstones and hepato-lithiasis are particularly linked to CCA in Asia (10% of patients with this problem develop CCA), but are a much weaker risk factor in Western countries (Khan et al., 2012).
HER2/neu is a weak prognostic factor in breast cancer, but a strong predictor for lack of response to endocrine therapy.
In considering pre trauma factors, younger age has been identified as a significant but weak risk factor in adults [ 17] and children [ 11, 18].
All risk factors were predictors of survival as indicated by the Hazard ratios ranging from 2.1 to 6.2, where the tumour marker AFP was the weakest risk factor in the univariable analysis.
Over-expressed and/or amplified HER2 is a relatively weak prognostic factor in untreated patients, but it is a strong predictive factor for responsiveness to targeted therapies such as trastuzumab [ 14, 15], which is the primary reason for measuring it.
However, gender was a weak predictive factor in multiple linear regression model, with male students being more willing to ask either for a personal favour or help in cheating.
However, physical role functioning seemed to be a weak independent factor in 1-RM change (R = 0.14; = -0.38), therefore the role of this variable as a predictor in the final model must be interpreted with caution.
