Can the economic impact of political decentralisation be measured ?
This paper examines whether, given the increasing salience of subnational governments, political decentralisation has an impact on overall economic performance. It uses panel data analyses in order to determine the association between a number of the different indices of political decentralisation developed over the last decade and a half with two basic measures of economic performance: changes...
متن کاملImpact of Fitness Status on the Optically Measured Hemodynamic Indexes
The physiological characteristics of skin blood flow can be described in terms of the hemodynamic indices (HI). The HI is derived from the laser speckle characteristics, which are governed by the cutaneous blood flow. A miniaturized dynamic light-scattering sensor was used to measure the speckle pattern from the finger root. Three groups of subjects from 15 to 25 years of age were tested. The f...
متن کاملChemical processing and shampooing impact cortisol measured in human hair.
PURPOSE The assessment of cortisol in hair has gained popularity as a means to measure retrospective hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal activity in a number of species; however, cortisol levels from human hair subjected to typical chemicals for cosmetic or hygienic purposes may be altered by the chemicals used. The purposed of this study was to determine if exposure of hair to chemical processing o...
متن کاملImpact Forces in Sport Surfaces Measured by Accelerometric Method
INTRODUCTION It has been documented that repeated impact forces can lead to injury (e.g. Voloshin 1981 and 1982, Wosk 1981). Although there are different mechanical methods in literature to measure shock absorption in areaelastic sport surfaces, even in standards (DIN 18032), there are few studies with subjects and accelerometry about the influence of sport surfaces on impact forces. Kim (1992)...
متن کاملPersisting consequences of stroke measured by the Stroke Impact Scale.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare disability and quality of life as measured by the Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) of stroke patients deemed recovered (Barthel Index > or =95) with 2 stroke-free populations of community-dwelling elderly. METHODS Eighty-one stroke patients who participated in the Kansas City Stroke Registry and achieved a Barthel Index of > or =95 at 3...
