National Rural Health Mission represents an important public health initiative to address essential health needs of the country's underserved population. For the Mission to achieve its goals, urban population needs to be included in its scope. Urban poor population constitutes nearly a third of India's urban population and is growing at three times the national population growth rate. Health st...

Some issues for categorical foundations for mathematics are explored.Among them: how categorical foundations assert the existence of their objectsand arrows, and how categorical set theory motivates its own axiom scheme ofreplacement. Two interpretations of ZF into categorical set theory are explicitlycompared. One is homophonic but partial; the other is total and uses membershi...

One of the main issues in design foundations is correct forecast development long-term deformations (settlement) foundations. Among factors affecting settlement, one can single out neglect changes rheological parameters soil time and loading regime, as well processes hardening time. The work presents results a study behaviour samples clayey with disturbed structure under conditions triaxial cyc...

Many community open source projects are of high economic relevance. As these projects mature, their leaders face a choice of continuing the project as is, making the project join an existing foundation, or creating their own foundation for the project. This article presents a model of open source developer foundations that project leaders can use to compare existing foundations with their needs...

INTRODUCTION Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is characterized by anterior knee pain, which may limit the performance of functional activities. The influence of hip joint motion on the development of this syndrome has already been documented in the literature. In this regard, studies have investigated the effectiveness of hip muscle strengthening in patients with PFPS. OBJECTIVES The aims ...

I have chosen the title of this paper with some care. I am not undertaking to set out the conceptual foundations of cost-benefit analysis. Cost-benefit analysis (CBA) is a body of practical techniques. Although it is clear enough that these techniques are largely derived from neo-classical economic theory, what we take the conceptual foundations of CBA to be is still to some extent a matter of ...

Extant models of the financial patronage of Social Movement Organisations (SMOs) by private foundations exclusively use population density to account for competition. However, density fails to reveal how SMOs win grants whilst neglecting the strategic decision-making of foundation-investors. Here I recast patronage as a mutualistic network represented by a dynamic bipartite graph wherein SMOs a...

background: the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of two types of rehabilitation techniques, including aerobic and strengthening exercises on patients with knee rheumatoid arthritis (ra). methods: 48 male patients with knee ra were randomly assigned into 3 groups, including aerobic exercises, strengthening exercise, and control. the two first groups completed their treatment ...

This paper surveys the logical and mathematical foundations of CafeOBJ, which is a successor of the famous algebraic specification language OBJ but adding several new primitive paradigms such as behavioural concurrent specification and rewriting logic. We first give a concise overview of CafeOBJ. Then we focus on the actual logical foundations of the language at two different levels: basic spec...
