The aim of this work was to examine family well-being in a sample of Spanish families with blind children. Sixty-one participants reported their perceived economic status, the level of job satisfaction, and state-anxiety symptoms. The participants of our study scored higher on state-anxiety and lower on material well-being than the normative sample, although these differences did not reach stat...

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) expansions for disabled children in the early 1990s provoked criticism that eligibility criteria were too lax and motivated the subsequent retraction of benefits for many children. However, little evidence exists on whether the clinical needs of SSI children declined during this period. The authors used Medicaid data to examine changes in average expenditures ...

We presented here a refinement of Hermite-Hadamard inequality as a linear combination of its end-points. The problem of best possible constants is closely connected with well known Simpson’s rule in numerical integration. It is solved here for a wide class of convex functions, but not in general. Some supplementary results are also given.

connection technology continue to simplify the design and wiring that go into industrial control panels. E ver since the first control panels were installed on the floor of industrial plants, there have been attempts to reduce the amount of wiring and effort that goes into connecting industrial processes and machines to their controls. Decades ago, programmable logic controllers (PLCs) began re...

ver since microcredit first began to capture public attention 25 years ago, the usual story line has been that it is a tool of extraordinary power to lift poor people—especially women— out of poverty, by funding their microenterprises and raising their incomes. This picture has been buttressed by hundreds of inspiring stories of microentrepreneurs who used tiny loans to start or expand their bu...

In previous works, a system for supervised time series classification has been presented. It is based on boosting very simple classifiers: only one literal. The used predicates are based on temporal intervals. There are two types of predicates: i) relative predicates, such as “increases” and “stays”, and ii) region predicates, such as “always” and “sometime”, which operate ver regions in the do...

ver since its discovery by Banz (1981), the size effect has remained an enigma. Although the empirical fact that firms with low market values earn higher returns than firms with high market values is beyond dispute, a theoretical explanation of this regularity has eluded the profession for almost 15 years. Because this empirical regularity is almost universally interpreted as evidence that smal...
