The relationship between personality, approach to learning and academic performance

TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between students' approaches to learning, as measured by a short-form of Entwistle and Tait's (1995) Revised Approaches to Studying Inventory (RASI), the Big Five personality factors, measured by Cattell's 16PFi, and the background variables of age, gender and prior educational achievement and academic performance was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antibiotic therapy for inducible AmpC β-lactamase-producing Gram-negative bacilli: what are the alternatives to carbapenems, quinolones and aminoglycosides?

TL;DR: Clinical studies that better define optimal treatment for this group of bacteria are required, and Piperacillin/tazobactam may remain effective and may be less selective for AmpC derepressed mutants than cephalosporins.
Journal ArticleDOI
