Objective To determine cause-specific and age-specific contributions to life expectancy changes between 2000 2015, separately by state sex in Brazil, with a focus on homicides. Design Retrospective cross-sectional demographic analysis of mortality. Setting population Brazilian age, from 2015. Main outcome measure Using mortality data the Mortality Information System estimates National Statistic...

In this paper we introduce the notion of $varphi$-commutativity for a Banach algebra $A$, where $varphi$ is a continuous homomorphism on $A$ and study the concept of $varphi$-weak amenability for $varphi$-commutative Banach algebras. We give an example to show that the class of $varphi$-weakly amenable Banach algebras is larger than that of weakly amenable commutative Banach algebras. We charac...

We aim to explain regional disparities in mortality in Poland and their changes over the years 1991-2010 taking into account mortality from selected causes of death. The list of causes of death includes causes medically amenable and those dependent on behavioral factors (smoking-related, external causes and Ischemic Heart Disease), but also ill-defined causes. Regional inequalities in mortality...
