We report on ultra-slowly propagating discharge events with speeds in the range 1–13 km/s, much lower than any known lightning process. The propagation of these discharges are orders magnitude slower leader or streamer speeds, but faster ion drift speed. For one particular event, a forms about 40 ms later within 50 m discharge, likely same high field region. A second slow event 9 prior to initi...

While many studies have suggested or assumed that the periods preceding the onset of intra-state conflict are similar across time and space, few have empirically tested this proposition. Using the Integrated Crisis Early Warning System's domestic event data in Asia from 1998-2010, we subject this proposition to empirical analysis. We code the similarity of government-rebel interactions in seque...

To explore the effect of PRECEDE-PROCEED model (the health professional’s ability to apply theories behavior) in education for young and middle-aged patients with lumbar disc herniation. Ninety herniation admitted our hospital from January 2020 October 2022 were selected divided into control group (n=45) observation according random number table. The received routine Chinese medicine education....

Taenia solium is a predominant food-borne parasitic zoonosis (FBPZ) in Nepal. Using the PRECEDE framework, as defined by Green and Kreuter, we can identify the factors behind the high incidence of this disease. Armed with this information, we can define the actions necessary to control T. solium. In accordance with the first step of PRECEDE, social assessment, we set the goal of decreasing the ...
