A UK-wide cross-sectional survey of practice exploring current trends in endometrial preparation for frozen-thawed embryo replacement

The study focused on the relationship between dynamic capabilities and competitive advantage of fast foods restaurants in Rivers State, Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey research design was adopted, while primary data was collected via the administration of a structured questionnaire. Three hypotheses were formulated that, the dimensions of dynamic capabilities do not significantly correlate with the competitive advantage of the firms. However, the result of the analysis disproved the null hypotheses, meaning that dynamic capabilities of the firms significantly influence their levels of competitive advantage. It was recommended that managers of the firms should encourage quick response to environmental changes, by enhancing their employees’ capability to detect, monitor and respond to competition. Also, employees should be exposed to current trends, technologies and business applications in the sector to enhance their competencies which will, in turn, improve the competitive advantage of the firm.

ABSTRACT Aim To identify the current materials, design, communication and disinfection status followed by the dental laboratories in India regarding fixed prosthodontics. Materials and methods A prepiloted anonymous questionnaire containing 27 questions related to fixed prosthodontics was send to 472 laboratories in India. Information was obtained regarding procedure and materials for fixed prosthesis, die technique, accuracy of casts, design, communication, shade selection and disinfection practices followed by the laboratories. Questionnaire data were entered into a computer and analyzed using SPSS version 12.0 (SPSS, Inc, Chicago, IL, USA). Results Two hundred and sixteen of 472 dental laboratories responded (45.76% response rate). Most common pontic design in both arches was ridge lap. One hundred and fifty-four (71.29%) laboratories presented that most of the casts were not articulated. Majority of impression (66.20%) received are not accurate enough for laboratories to do their best work. One hundred and eighty (82.8%) laboratories have stated that less than 25% casts were disinfected. Most of the dentists (65.74%) were not sending work authorization form and those who were sending are not complete enough (63.42%). Conclusion The finding in this study indicated the weakness in technique and design of fixed prosthesis along with poor communication between dentists and laboratories in India.
