The present research study was designed to investigate the family functioning of the families having children with cerebral palsy. It was hypothesized that there would be significant differences in the family functioning of families having children with cerebral palsy and families having normal children. The case-control research design was used. The sample of the study was accessed from the sp...

The lack of health insurance is traditionally considered a problem faced by individuals and their families. However, because of the geographically bounded organization and funding of healthcare in the United States, levels of uninsurance in a community may affect everyone living there. Health economists have examined how the effects of uninsurance spillover from the uninsured to the insured, ne...

Text cohesion is an important element of discourse processing. This paper presents a new approach to modeling, quantifying, and visualizing text cohesion using automated cohesion flow indices that capture semantic links among paragraphs. Cohesion flow is calculated by applying Cohesion Network Analysis, a combination of semantic distances, Latent Semantic Analysis, and Latent Dirichlet Allocati...

RECONSTRUCTION IN NORTHERN LIBERIA presented daunting challenges when the International Rescue Committee launched a community-driven reconstruction (CDR) program there in 2006. The area had been racked by civil war since 1989, when Charles Taylor’s rebel group, the NPFL, launched its attack from Cote d’Ivoire. The conflict was devastating, with 85 percent of the local population displaced at so...

Class cohesion is considered as one of important object-oriented software attributes. Cohesion refers to the degree of the relatedness of the members in a class. High cohesion is a desirable property of classes. Several metrics have been proposed in the literature in order to measure class cohesion in object-oriented systems. They capture class cohesion in terms of connections among members wit...
