Urinary incontinence (UI) is very common in the elderly and has personal and social implications. Many authors have pointed out the necessity to analyze UI in correlation with the overall quality of aging, to better understand this syndrome and define measures for its prevention and treatment. In the present study, we addressed this problem by analyzing the UI correlation with frailty, which ha...

Context. User Interfaces (UIs) intensively rely on event-driven programming: widgets send UI events, which capture users’ interactions, to dedicated objects called controllers. Controllers use several UI listeners that handle these events to produce UI commands. Objective. The first objective of this work is to show empirical evidences that the code that describes and controls UIs can be affect...

Increasing demands on user interface (UI) usability, adaptability, and dynamic behavior drives ever-growing development and maintenance complexity. Traditional UI design techniques result in complex descriptions for data presentations with significant information restatement. In addition, multiple concerns in UI development leads to descriptions that exhibit concern tangling, which results in h...

PURPOSE The prevalence of urinary incontinence (UI) among community-dwelling older women in Korea is not well known. This study examined the prevalence of UI and UI-related knowledge among community-dwelling Korean women aged 55 and over. METHOD A cross-sectional descriptive-correlational study was conducted. Data were collected from 276 women aged 55 and over in a metropolitan city using a s...

OBJECTIVES We estimated iodine status of Korean population by determining the concentration of spot urinary iodine (UI) with a reliable method based on the Sandell-Kolthoff reaction. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 540 urine samples from apparently healthy subjects were collected, and UI, urinary sodium (UNa), and urinary creatinine (UCr) were determined from those samples and analyzed with ...

Matching frictions imply the value of being unemployed depends on the stream of future UI payments. The sooner a worker's eligibility to UI payments expires, the lower the value to remaining unemployed. In the moral hazard literature, declining UI payments are used to trigger greater search e®ort. Here declining UI payments undermine the worker's bargaining position and (partially) corrects the...

For a finite set of points X on the unit hypersphere in R we consider the iteration ui+1 = ui +χi, where χi is the point of X farthest from ui. Restricting to the case where the origin is contained in the convex hull of X we study the maximal length of ui. We give sharp upper bounds for the length of ui independently of X . Precisely, this upper bound is infinity for d ≥ 3 and √ 2 for d = 2.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of life, awareness of UI, and influential factors of care-seeking intention of women with urinary incontinence in China. Methods: From April 2013 to November 2013, subjects were selected from four cities in Anhui province, China. They participated in this survey by completing a detailed verbal questionnaire regarding their demographic...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to use narrative analysis as a method for examining the lived experience and meaning of long-term, female urinary incontinence (UI). METHOD Cognitive anthropology and critical medical anthropology provided the overall framework for this study. Theoretical saturation (Strauss, 1987) was achieved after 17 community-dwelling women with long-term (greater tha...

this paper tries to survey irans regional labor market disequilibrium within 1996-2000. according to the results there has been an increase in the amount of disequilibrium of irans national as well as regional labor markets. incomplete labor market information on vacant job opportunities in different regions of the country along with high costs of migration have been the major causes of unemplo...
