BACKGROUND The focus of this study was to investigate factors that may influence personal willingness to register consent to donate corneal tissue upon death using the theory of planned behaviour in a relatively ethnically homogenous group of trainee allied health professionals. The attainment of this knowledge will be of paramount importance in relation to potential interventions that are desi...

In this research, behaviour of clayey soils under triaxial loading is studied using Neural Network. The models have been prepared to predict the stress-strain behaviour of remolded clays under undrained condition. The advantage of the model developed is that simple parameters such as physical characteristics of soils like water content, fine content, Atterberg limits and so on, are used to mode...

in this paper, we introduce fractional order of a planar fractional prey-predator system with a nonmonotonic functional response and anti-predator behaviour such that the adult preys can attack vulnerable predators. we analyze the existence and stability of all possibleequilibria. numerical simulations reveal that anti-predator behaviour notonly makes the coexistence of the prey and predator po...

in recent decades, foreign policy of middle east countries has been deeply affected by increasing ethnic and religious identities. on the other hand, realist approach has still remained as dominant logic for analyzing of politics in this region. this article based on constructivist approach, analyses the impact of ethnic identity factor on foreign policy of middle east states and emphasizes on ...

this paper studies the extent of ethnic nationalism among the turkmen students and investigates factors which led to the persistence of nationalistic attitude in their view. andrew heywood theories are employed to study the complexity and contradictory aspects of nationalism. hence three types of nationalism are presented for further steps of study. we expect to have the ethnic nationalism in g...

BACKGROUND Research has shown that doctor's make judgements about patients on the basis of their demographic characteristics. Little is known about how patients judge their doctors. AIM The present study aimed to explore the impact of a doctor's ethnicity, age and gender on patients' judgements in the setting of a general practice consultation. METHODS The study involved an experimental fac...

BACKGROUND Given the large variation in the prevalence of sexually transmitted infections between populations it is important to characterize how sexual vary between populations. In this paper we assess how the distribution of lifetime sexual partners varies between populations. We ask: do populations with higher mean lifetime sexual partners merely differ by virtue of the presence of a core-gr...

Between 2016 and 2020, Facebook allowed advertisers in the United States to target their advertisements using three broad “ethnic affinity” categories: “African American,” “U.S.-Hispanic,” “Asian American.” This paper uses life death of these categories argue that they exemplify a novel mode racialisation made possible by machine learning techniques. These worked analysing users’ preferences be...
