background: maternal mortality (mm) is an avoidable death andthere is national, international and political commitment to reduceit. the objective of this study is to examine the relation of mm tosocioeconomic factors and its inequality in iran’s provinces at anecologic level.methods: the overall mm from each province was considered for3 years from 2004 to 2006. the five independent variables wh...

فرزند‌پروری پس از طلاق یکی تکالیف حساس پیش روی والدین مُطلقه، و عوامل مؤثر در سلامت روانی فرزندان به شمار می‌آید. هدف این مطالعه کشف تبیین تجارب زیسته‌ هم‌والدگری است. روش کیفی با استفاده پدیدارشناسی توصیفی انجام شد. جامعه پژوهش شامل کلیه‌ والدینی بود که تجربه‌ فرزندپروری را داشته‌اند. برای تعیین حجم نمونه معیار اشباع داده شد نمونه‌گیری هدفمند تعداد 12 نفر (زن، مرد) انتخاب شدند مورد مصاحبه‌ نیمه...

INTRODUCTION One of the main weaknesses of the health system in Turkey is the uneven distribution of physicians. The diversity among geographical districts was huge in the beginning of the 1960s. After the 1980s, the implementation of a two-year compulsory service for newly graduated physicians is an interesting and specific experience for all countries. The aim of this study is to analyse the ...

This paper introduces a new test for goodness of fit based on the Gini index which is the sum over all pairs, of the absolute differences of the observed spacings. We derive its exact and asymptotic distributions under the null hypothesis, after showing that it is distributionally equivalent to the sum of uniform observations on the unit interval. After a discussion of local powers of this and ...

Gini coefficient is among the most popular and widely used measures of income inequality in economic studies, with various extensions and applications in finance and other related areas. This paper studies confidence intervals on the Gini coefficient for simple random samples, using normal approximation, bootstrap percentile, bootstrap-t and the empirical likelihood method. Through both theory ...

The main objective of the study is to compare the Newton-Cotes methods such as the Trapezium rule, Simpson 1/3 rule and Simpson 3/8 rule to estimate the area under the Lorenz curve and Gini coefficient of income using polynomial function with degree 5. Comparing the Gini coefficients of income computed from the Polynomial function with degree 5 for the Trapezium, Simpson 1/3 and Simpson 3/8 met...
