in the present work, the influence of aging temperature on mechanical properties and sound velocity of maraging steel m350 was investigated. for this purpose, first, samples were solution annealed at 825◦c for 2 hours and then age hardened at 510◦c-600◦c for 3 hours. hardness, tensile and impact tests were used for determining mechanical properties and longitudinal ultrasonic velocity was used ...

Rural areas, where 47.6% of the Croatian population lives are not generally the focus of research; yet there are challenges which affect the rural population that often go unreported. These communities often exhibit disadvantages in many areas of health. The aim of this study is to examine the specific health needs and related determinants of rural populations influenced by transition that were...

Using data for over four decades, we examine the ageing of Swedish municipalities and if there has been convergence or divergence across time space, where differentiate urban–rural hierarchy. As migration is claimed to be a moderating factor in places, assess how share immigrants relates patterns. Our findings show that older individuals increases more peripheral localities municipalities. Howe...

This study examines the effect of 13 strategic management activities on the financial performance of a national sample of 797 U.S. rural hospitals during the period of 1983-1988. Controlled for environment-market, geographic-region, and hospital-related variables, the results show almost no measurable effect of strategic adoption on rural hospital profitability and liquidity. Where statisticall...

Perinatal mortality is high in rural hospitals in South Africa. In part this is due to less than optimal care. This study determined the perinatal mortality experienced by a rural hospital and its clinics. Avoidable causes of death are described and various intervention strategies that effectively and rapidly prevented such deaths, reducing perinatal mortality by one-third, are outlined.

background: increased life expectancy and the growing phenomenon of aging can lead to increased burden of chronic diseases (cds) which adversely affects the overall health of elderly, their sexuality in particular. sexual life of aged population is overlooked in many of the societies. in the present narrative review, we aim to assess the impact of cds on sexual function of elderly people. mater...

introduction: motor skills play an important role during life span, and older adults need to learn or relearn these skills. the purpose of this study was to investigate how aging affects induction of improved movement performance by motor training. methods: serial reaction time test (srtt) was used to assess movement performance during 8 blocks of motor training. participants were tested in two...

This paper reviews the potential role of honey as a therapeutic antioxidant to reduce oxidative stress and improve cognitive ageing. All articles indexed to PubMed Central (PMC) were searched using the following key words: honey, antioxidant, memory and ageing. Honey is a natural insect-derived product with therapeutic, medicinal and nutritional values. Antioxidant properties of honey quench bi...
