Too little is known about human functioning amidst chronic adversity. We addressed that need by studying adult Palestinians in the occupied Palestinian territories (oPt), a population that has experienced longstanding economic and political hardships. Fourteen group interviews were conducted in February, 2010 in Arabic by local fieldworkers with 68 participants representing the main stratificat...

the formulation of global health policy is political; and all institutions operating in the global health landscape are political. this is because policies and institutions inevitably represent certain values, reflect particular ideologies, and preferentially serve some interests over others. this may be expressed explicitly and consciously; or implicitly and unconsciously. but it’s important t...

This paper provides extensions to the theory and the computational aspects of the Fellegi-Holt Model of Editing (JASA 1976). If implicit edits can be generated prior to editing, then error localization (finding the minimum number of fields to impute) can be quite rapid. In some situations, not all of the implicit edits can be generated because of the great number (> 10^30) of distinct edit patt...

The cost absorbs all the expenses of production for a company at a certain level of the activity. For eliminating the influence of the fixed costs’s absorbtion and for a better supervision of other causes of digressions, the managers can apply the method of rational imputation of the fixed costs. The managers should, in some cases, take into consideration the total costs and not the unit costs....

We have recently been witnessing the growing establishment of map-centered web-based geo-portals on national, regional and local levels. However, a particular issue with these geo-portals is that each instance has been implemented in different ways in terms of design, usability, functionality, interaction possibilities, map size and symbologies. In this paper, we try to tackle these shortcoming...

Recently ontology research has received much attention in geo-information science and the concept of ontology is very important for spatial information concept modeling and data sharing, classification of geographical classes. More importantly, it enriches the semantic theory of spatial information. Geo-information services and geo-information interpretation and extraction are the two main appl...

intellectuality and politics have a very close and historical linkage with each other. this article beside the redefinition of intellectuality concept, want to study relationship between these two concept through the six periods of west civilization history: 1) greek-roman period until 5th century, 2) first period of christianity from 5th to 11th centuries, 3) second period of christianity from...

For a spanning tree T in a nontrivial connected graph G and for vertices u and v inG, there exists a unique u−v path u = u0, u1, u2, . . ., uk = v in T . A u− v T -path in G is a u− v path u = v0, v1, . . . , vl = v in G that is a subsequence of the sequence u = u0, u1, u2, . . . , uk = v. A u− v T -path of minimum length is a u− v T -geodesic in G. The T distance dG|T (u, v) from u to v in G i...
