background the positive effect of breastfeeding on the health of the mother, child and community has been globally accepted, but the rate of breastfeeding is still not at an acceptable level. breastfeeding support can greatly influence the continuity and success of breastfeeding. this qualitative study aimed to explain the iranian women’s experiences of breastfeeding support. materials and meth...

In the present paper, we rst modify the concepts of weakly fuzzy boundedness, strongly fuzzy boundedness, fuzzy continuity, strongly fuzzy continuity and weakly fuzzy continuity. Then, we try to nd some relations by making a comparative study of the fuzzy norms of linear operators.

the present study aimed at investigating the possible impact ofzone of proximal development (zpd) on the learners’ performance. forty-sixiranian university students participated in this study by taking two types of readingcomprehension tests (i.e., the main idea and wh-question type). the researchersused the winstep program to analyze the data and estimate the learners’ raschmeasure in pre, pos...

BACKGROUND Racial minorities and low-income individuals are generally less likely to have adequate cancer screening than Whites or higher-income individuals. PURPOSE To examine the roles of medical mistrust and lack of provider continuity in cancer screening in a low-income minority population. METHODS A total of 144 urban federally qualified health center patients completed a cross-section...

BACKGROUND Continuity of care is one of the cornerstones of primary care. Initially, the concept of continuity largely corresponded to one care provider and continuity between doctor and patient, but today, healthcare processes and organisations have grown and become more complex. A survey of patients with complex care needs found that in all of 11 countries studied care was often poorly coordi...

Real-valued functions of a real variable which are continuous with respect to the density topology on both the domain and the range are called density continuous. A typical continuous function is nowhere density continuous. The same is true of a typical homeomorphism of the real line. A subset of the real line is the set of points of discontinuity of a density continuous function if and only if...

In this paper, I discuss a method for increasing the continuity between two functional triangular polynomial patches by adjusting their control points. The method described in this paper leaves the control points unchanged if the patches already meet with the desired level of continuity. As an example of using this construction, I give a simple method to construct a C0 patch network with high o...
