it is well known fact that binary relations are generalized mathematical functions. contrary to functions from domain to range, binary relations may assign to each element of domain two or more elements of range. some basic operations on functions such as the inverse and composition are applicable to binary relations as well. depending on the domain or range or both are fuzzy value fuzzy set, i...

there are several problems associated with the use of indwelling urethra catheters, including urinary tract infections and mechanical problems. infections have been well researched but mechanical problems associated with blockage, leakage of urine and general discomfort have been less investigated. although education of patients and carers on the use of catheters has been recommended, in practi...

trauma is a leading cause of death and disability especially amongst young people. road traffic crash–related death, injury, and chronic disability continue to be a major worldwide burden to drivers, pedestrians and users of mass transit, especially in low- and middle-income countries(lmic). projections predict worsening of this burden, and while motorization of lmic increases exponentially, a ...

background nowadays, the patients’ satisfaction is used as a criterion to measure the hospitals’ service quality. however, there are controversial results about the aspect of caring behaviors which mostly affects the patients’ satisfaction. objectives the current study aimed to assess the relationship between caring behaviors and patients’ satisfaction. patients and methods a descriptive correl...

INTRODUCTION Patient participation is known to improve patients' motivation, compliance, treatment results, and satisfaction with the received care. It is well known that the physical environment is of great importance in supporting patient involvement. A systematic literature search has shown a lack of articles on the subject of "surroundings" in relation to patient participation, for all pati...

In this paper, we investigate the global behavior of the difference equation xn+1 = αxn−1 β + γ t ∑

A discrete n-species Schoener competition system with time delays and feedback controls is proposed. By applying the comparison theorem of difference equation, sufficient conditions are obtained for the permanence of the system.
