In this paper two aspects of poverty measurement are reviewed. First, some conceptual issues regarding the definition of poverty and its different dimensions are explored. Second, based on this discussion, a three-way classification of poverty measurement methodologies is introduced: income poverty line (a unidimensional, indirect approach); unsatisfied basic needs (a multidimensional, direct a...

BACKGROUND As well as biomedical risk factors, psychological factors have been reported to be related to mortality rate. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between life satisfaction and mortality in elderly people through an 11.8-year follow-up study of a prospective cohort. METHODS Among 3,600 participants of the Kangwha Cohort Study who survived in 1994, 1,939 respond...

One of the most fundamental components of healthcare system on each country is blood supply chain management. This chain is comprised of two significant components including collecting donor’ bloods and supplying blood’s products. The main purpose of this paper is to concentrate on supplying blood products and present a novel constrained bi-objective mathematical model for a two-echelon blood s...

Victim support services, in mature societies, aim to help victims recover after suffering a traumatic event. The effectiveness of victim support has traditionally been evaluated through rates of service utilization and incidence of psychopathology such as posttraumatic stress disorder. The current study, instead, inquires into service users' unmet needs and satisfaction, and identifies factors ...

2014 We study a particular random field Ising model in dimension 2 at 0 temperature. On each site the random field is either + ~ with probability p/2, ~ with probability p/2 or 0 with probability 1 2014 p. Using finite size scaling arguments, we show that for small p, the average correlation function between two spins at distance R decreases like R-~(p) where the exponent ~(p) = 2 03C0p + O(p2)...
