The World Health Organization’s (WHO’s) World Health Report 2010, “Health systems financing, the path to universal coverage,” promoted universal health coverage (UHC) as an aspirational objective for country health systems. Yet, in addition to the dimensions of services and coverage, distribution of coverage in the population, and financial risk protection highlighted by the report, the conside...

background: we aimed to assess the impact of health workers’ training program on preventive behaviors of leishmaniosis based on basnef (belief, attitude, subjective norm, and enabling factors) model in the families under the coverage of health centers. methods: the study was done in rural health centers of marvdasht city, fars province, iran in 2011. health workers completed a specific question...

The purpose of implementation-based testing is to gain a measure of confidence in the correctness of the software by providing adequate coverage of the code. One unit of testing in object-oriented software is a class. However, classes use other classes and if class interactions form a cycle of dependencies then, to test a client class that uses an untested supplier class, stubs must be construc...

background: inadequate attention to management and institutional reforms is an important barrier to achieving universal health coverage. skilled and motivated public health managers in adequate numbers are an important requirement to overcome this hurdle. however, what are the career choices of medical students? are they interested in community medicine and public health? to document the career...

With regard to the subject of sensor network node optimization, a strategy for wireless sensor network coverage optimization based on improved fish swarm algorithm is proposed in this paper. The improved algorithm is targeted on network coverage, node utilization rate and energy consumption balance, which makes use of the ergodic property of chaotic motion to overcome the disadvantage that arti...

Nowadays, we need to efficiently control key parameters of the shot-peening process such as shot size, energy and peening angle, to ensure a positive and optimum effect on fatigue life. A good way to help us in adjustment of these parameters is to observe the resulting coverage after peening. Manual measurement and control of peening coverage – which consist of a visual inspection step by an op...

This paper presents an empirical comparison of four different techniques for filtering large test suites: test suite minimization, prioritization by additional coverage, cluster filtering with one-per-cluster sampling, and failure pursuit sampling. The first two techniques are based on selecting subsets that maximize code coverage as quickly as possible, while the latter two are based on analyz...

Vaccination considered as one of the most cost-effective health interventions worldwide  through prevention and control of many serious childhood diseases (1). It is estimated  global coverage of  Dose 3 of Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis (DTP3)among children one year old has been 86% in 2014 (by range from 77% to 96%  in African Region and Western Pacific Region; respectively) (2). Globally...
