Diversity in under-researched countries: new empirical fields challenging old theories?

Chronic rhinosinusitis: an under-researched epidemic

BACKGROUND Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a highly prevalent inflammatory disease with significant impacts on patient quality of life and daily productivity. Evaluating the volume of research on CRS, relative to similar chronic diseases, may provide insight into current disparities in research prioritization. METHODS A systematic review was performed using Ovid MEDLINE (R) (1970 - December 3...

Government Size and Social Capital in Developing Countries; New Empirical Evidence

Social capital is one of the most important subjects in development economics. It has a crucial role in development process in developing countries. To the best of our knowledge, there is no study about the importance of government size in social capital. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is considering the relationship between government size and social capital in 109 developing countries d...

Conformal Field Theories: From Old to New

In a short review of recent work, we discuss the general problem of constructing the actions of new conformal field theories from old conformal field theories. Such a construction follows when the old conformal field theory admits new conformal stress tensors in its chiral algebra, and it turns out that the new conformal field theory is generically a new spin-two gauge theory. As an example we ...

A REVIEW OF NEW THEORIES IN MIGRATION

Migration is the permanent movement of some people called migrant, from one place to another for some reasons and values. Their migration is determined by some values and goals that lead to changes in migrants’ interaction system. In human history the shape of migration was changed due to social and environmental changes. From the eve of 19 century migration became important social phenom...
