725 professorship at Zagreb University as early as 1931, and for a similar position for John Ryle at Oxford in 1942.9 Because so many social medicine advocates were academics, a major effort targeted medical education in an attempt to inculcate more physicians with their point of view. Further reflecting their sense of mission, they sought to influence public policy toward extending medical ser...

This paper studies how the investment in adaptation can influence participation an international environmental agreement (IEA) when countries decide before they choose their levels of emissions. Two types agreements are studied, a complete for which coordinate decisions on and emissions, there is only coordination adaptation. In both cases, we assume that degree effectiveness bounded from above...

stable. The main results are: data normalization is fundamental to obtain better precision, the larger the number of data points, the lesser the error, the error decreases with the decreasing of noise level. The next step is to develop an Ipen nuclear research reactor model and apply the GMDH methodology to predict the reactor variables. This work is a part of a Monitoring and Diagnosis System ...

This special issue focuses on national findings and analyses from five Western European countries that participated in the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). TIMSS is an international, comparative study designed to provide policy makers, educators, researchers, and practitioners with information about mathematics and science achievement and its learning contexts in order...

The igf1 gene is alternatively spliced as IGF-IEa and IGF-IEc variants in humans. In fibrostenotic Crohn's disease, the fibrogenic cytokine TGF-β1 induces IGF-IEa expression and IGF-I production in intestinal smooth muscle and results in muscle hyperplasia and collagen I production that contribute to stricture formation. Mechano-growth factor (MGF) derived from IGF-IEc induces skeletal and card...

The IEA studies have been the major source of information about the level of achievement in the Swedish comprehensive school, which was implemented in the early 1960s. However, in the paper it is argued that the officially reported pattern of achievement is partially misleading, in that the level of achievement is underestimated in the studies conducted prior to 1995, while in the later studies...
