expertise and procedures of doctors involved in NTDC management Discussion This cross-sectional research was planned to assess the expertise and procedures of doctors involved in NTDC management and to recognize variables linked to their prescription behavior. The author compiled data in the emergency department treating NTDC on the expertise, disposition, and management of doctors. In this analysis, four NTDC clinical situations were used as a way of examining preferred management by physicians. The study showed that most of the doctors surveyed opted to write an antibiotic prescription for NTDC problem scenarios where the antibiotics prescription was not specified. Although pain may be medically correlated with a disease, it must be observed that antibiotics may not specifically alleviate endodontic discomfort. It can only be used for an already healthy person if there exists a systemic involvement such as swelling and pyrexia (Dana et al., 2019). Nonetheless, the study showed that most of the practitioner’s feedback indicated that Scenario 3 had 98.83% antibiotic prescribing agreement matched by Case 2, 91.86%. The antibiotic of preference, in cases 1, 2 and 3, was Amoxicillin…

Urban agglomeration in the cities of China Urban agglomeration in the cities of China has increased. This rapid agglomeration process has brought along increased urbanization among these cities. Research has been lounged to investigate the effect of tourism on urban agglomeration in China. By definition, urbanization is the collection/agglomeration of certain economic activities within specific geography (Zhao & Dong, 2017, p. xx). Agglomeration may occur among industries producing the same products, industries producing complementary products, and also industries offering different services and products. The sector of tourism, however, is based on the geographic positioning of the tourist sites. Tourism also heavily relies on urbanization around the areas of tourist interests. Focusing on cultural tourism, urbanization is a significant factor. According to research, tourism positively impacts on urbanization and urban agglomeration (Zhao & Dong, 2017, p. xx). In this case, tourism agglomeration also increases, furthering the growth of urbanization and the development of other infrastructural areas such as transport, which are essential in urban agglomeration. In China, high-speed rail transport amongst huge cities allow tourists to move from one town to another, therefore…

These fundamental principles have a vision for the future of cities in terms of preparedness for disaster (Coafee & Lee, 2016, 58).
