Background: The consequences of antimicrobial resistance are severe, as mortality and morbidity rates continue to increase. extensive use antibiotics contributes significantly the development spread resistance. It is crucial have knowledge supported by data improve stewardship address growing problem globally locally. Thus, an evaluation was conducted assess prescription practices doctors worki...

introduction commuting between urban centers and rural areas is a phenomenon that observed in all countries with different social and economic structure. commuting is a new phenomenon in move of population that emerged with metropolis development. this phenomenon is different with other population movement. because this move does not change in residential place, population work in other place. ...

Metropolis is an integrated development environment for system-level design that embodies the concepts of the platform-based design methodology. Metropolis is based on a Metamodel with formal semantics and allows not only design capture, but also formal analysis, synthesis and simulation. After reviewing the basic concepts behind Metropolis, we will describe a realistic use-case scenario that s...

BACKGROUND Health insurance is a social security system that aims to facilitate fair financing of health costs through pooling and judicious utilization of financial resources, in order to provide financial risk protections and cost burden sharing for people against high cost of healthcare through various prepayment methods prior to falling ill. It is still unclear how the Federal Social Health...

This paper presents a method for adaptation in Metropolis-Hastings algorithms. A product of a proposal density and K copies of the target density is used to define a joint density which is sampled by a Gibbs sampler including a Metropolis step. This provides a framework for adaptation since the current value of all K copies of the target distribution can be used in the proposal distribution. Th...

Background and Aim: Climate change on the earth is changing faster than ever before in the history. Cities are highly vulnerable to this climate change. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate climate change in the metropolis of Tehran during the period 1991-2020 and help understand the limitations that cities may have in confronting climate change. Materials and Methods: This descri...

This study examines the determinants of health-seeking culture among women reproductive age in Calabar Metropolis, Nigeria. The identified this were belief systems, level education, cost healthcare services, and Proximity. researcher used descriptive survey design to sample opinion representatives get a detailed description childbearing using quantitative qualitative data. Six hundred (600) sam...

In an attempt to improve on the Metropolis algorithm, various MCMC methods involving pools of proposals, such as the multiple-try Metropolis and delayed rejection strategies, have been proposed. These methods generate several candidates in a single iteration; accordingly they are computationally more intensive than the Metropolis algorithm. In this paper, we consider three samplers with pools o...

Suppose we wish to carry out likelihood based inference but we solely have an unbiased simulation based estimator of the likelihood. We note that unbiasedness is enough when the estimated likelihood is used inside a Metropolis-Hastings algorithm. This result has recently been introduced in statistics literature by Andrieu, Doucet, and Holenstein (2007) and is perhaps surprising given the celebr...
