Data from personal case histories, from 1984 to 2000 inclusive, are reported in order to contribute to a better understanding of some of the clinical and epidemiological ENT associated TB aspects. Analysis of these data shows that: (1) Like the pulmonary form, ENT localizations are increasing due to the traditional risk factors (immigration, poverty, immunodeficiency, drug addiction). (2) They ...

It is often believed that the Olympic Games have become more migratory. The number of Olympic athletes representing countries in which they weren't born is thought to be on the rise. It should, however, be noted that migration in the context of sports is hardly a new phenomenon. In this paper we hypothesise that, as a reflection of global migration patterns and trends, the number of foreign-bor...

Three abortions and the death of a vigorous infant occurred in a baboon (Papw cynocephalusj group in Amboseli National Park, Kenya, within the two weeks following the immigration of an aggressive adult male. The immigrant male attained top-ranking dominance status in the group prior to these events. Circumstantial observations suggest that the reproductive losses were related to persistent inte...

British population history has been shaped by a series of immigrations, including the early Anglo-Saxon migrations after 400 CE. It remains an open question how these events affected the genetic composition of the current British population. Here, we present whole-genome sequences from 10 individuals excavated close to Cambridge in the East of England, ranging from the late Iron Age to the midd...

We demonstrate a close connection between the decoherent histories (DH) approach to quantum mechanics and the quantum state diffusion (QSD) picture, for open quantum systems described by a master equation of Lindblad form. The (physically unique) set of variables that localize in the QSD picture also define an approximately decoherent set of histories in the DH approach. The degree of localizat...

in this paper, the factors affecting the attitude of youth toward immigration have been examined, using a survey method and questionnaire. the sample under study consisted of 892 young people from shiraz. the theoretical framework of the research was based on the theories of giddens, bayen, izen, and lee’s theory of immigration and the experimental method of research was designed based on their...

Researchers have suggested that perceptions of discrimination may vary depending on place of birth and the length of time spent living in the U.S., variables related to acculturation. However, the existing literature provides a mixed picture, with data suggesting that the effects of acculturation on perceptions of discrimination vary by race and other sociodemographic factors. This study evalua...

We attempt a justification of a generalisation of the consistent histories programme using a notion of probability that is valid for all complete sets of history propositions. This consists of introducing Cox’s axioms of probability theory and showing that our candidate notion of probability obeys them. We also give a generalisation of Bayes’ theorem and comment upon how Bayesianism should be u...
