Despite its direct relevance to second/foreign language learning, quality of life has been a neglected area within Second Language Acquisition (SLA) research. The present study sought to investigate the relationship between quality of life factors and speaking skill as one of the most challenging parts of L2 learning. To this end, an adapted version of life quality questionnaire originally devi...

results the results showed that there was a significant difference between age, marital status, drug type used and length of abstinence with domains of qol (p = 0.001). conclusions the findings of the current study show that consistent participation in na self-help groups can significantly lead to an increase in qol. further research is recommended to find out causal relationships between parti...

This article presents a mixed finite volume method for solving second-order elliptic equations with Neumann boundary conditions. The computational domains can be decomposed into non-overlapping sub-domains or blocks and the diffusion tensors may be discontinuous across the sub-domain boundaries. We define a conforming triangular partition on each sub-domains independently, and employ the standa...

Background and Objectives: Induced demand in healthcare is referred to as provision of unnecessary services or the patient by health services providers, while the patient is not aware of their unnecessity. Apart from being unethical, this practice can potentially disturb the supply and demand balance in the health market, pose financial load on the patient, thread the patient’s health by imposi...
