In their study, Brenna and Spandonaro analyzed the mobility into Italian regions. In particular, it analyzes the situation of 5 regions, with very different backgrounds. With this paper, we try to better define the meaning of health mobility and to find its underlying causes. Furthermore, we propose a strategy that could help in controlling mobility flows that currently are the source of health...

It is known that opportunities to cross borders legally, acquired through regularization programs, are acknowledged by previously illegalized migrants as one of the main positive effects obtaining a residence permit. However, impact these policies has rarely been investigated “mobility lens.” To fulfill this gap, study aims, case study, (1) assess how permit after having endured years illegaliz...

CONTEXT Health workforce cross-border mobility has an impact not only on individual health workers, but also on how health services are organized, planned, and delivered. This paper presents the results of a study of current mobility trends of health professionals along the borders between Portugal and Spain. The objective was to describe the profile of mobile physicians and nurses; to elicit t...

Condition monitoring is the foundation of a condition based maintenance (CBM). To relate the information obtained from the condition monitoring to the actual state of the system, it is usually required a stochastic model. On the other hand, considering the interactions and similarities that exist between CBM and statistical process control (SPC), the integrated models for CBM and SPC have been ...

In this paper, we examine the cause of the border e ect observed in many mobility models used to construct simulations of ad hoc networking protocol performance. We specify conditions under which a node mobility model must produce spatial mobile node distribution functions that obey the di usion equation. In particular demonstrate that these conditions are satis ed by the random direction (RD) ...
