BACKGROUND Five major disease eradication initiatives were initiated during the second half of the 20th century. The enabling and constraining factors-political, social, economic, and other-for these previous and current eradication programs can inform decision making regarding a proposed measles eradication initiative. METHODS We reviewed the literature on the yaws, malaria, smallpox, guinea...

OBJECTIVES Little is known about current public health nutrition workforce development in Europe. The present study aimed to understand constraining and enabling factors to workforce development in seven European countries. DESIGN A qualitative study comprised of semi-structured face-to-face interviews was conducted and content analysis was used to analyse the transcribed interview data. SE...

INTRODUCTION In recent decades, the major criteria for development in countries were defined mostly by research position. The first step in organizing the research subject in societies is gaining a correct perception of abilities, available facilities, and finding the strengths and weaknesses of research programs. This research was conducted to determine the constraining factors of research amo...

educational evaluations reveal degrees of value creation for stakeholders. the evaluation results can help to improve the quality of teaching and prevent to wasting educational efforts. in this study, using the kirkpatrick model (1994), the effectiveness on management development curriculums of the levels behavioral / applicable in descriptive and quasi- experimental method has been studied. sh...

We discuss how to calculate form factors using a holographic model of QCD, mainly focusing on vector, axial, and pseudoscalar mesons. We illustrate the techniques on gravitational form factors (which are useful for constraining the generalized parton distributions) as well as quoting the results for electromagnetic form factors. One striking outcome, comparing the several types of calculated fo...
