Nepal moved from unitary system with a three-level federal system of government. As federalism accelerates, the national health system can also speed up its own decentralization process, reduce disparities in access, and improve health outcomes. The turn towards federalism creates several potential opportunities for the national healthcare system. This is because decision making has been devolv...

in developing countries such as iran it was after economic crises and the increase in price of energy carriers and primary resources that industrial ecology was taken into consideration as a method in industrial states. 941 industrial states in iran have a high potential in creating material and energy flow networks with the industrial ecology approach to prevent massive energy loss and valuabl...

in this paper, we introduce environmental systems engineering (ese) and describe some of its applications combined with process systems engineering (pse) to problems related to environmental systems. these systems—the water cycle and ecosystem cycles—are complex and highly dynamic, with an uncertainty level comparable to that of chemical systems. to illustrate the challenges of applying pse to...

this study is related to an islamic project financing with a major focus on investigating the role of islamic finance in financing infrastructural development projects (toll roads, power plants, airports, and plants, as well as natural resource exploitation projects, such as hydroelectric dams, mining projects, oil and gas assets, and paper mills), especially in the context of pakistan. infrast...

the article discusses a trial undertaken in a lis education program to help prepare students from different cultural backgrounds to work in virtual, multicultural work places.  the focus of the trial was developing teamwork, which may now involve global, multicultural and virtual components, for which students need to be prepared, given work place changes of recent years. the trial took place i...

machines and process calculi The first model to capture the complex interplay between non-determinism and concurrency in distributed systems was Petri Nets [Pet], these nets were designed information flow in natural as well as man-made systems. In the early eighties, algebraic process calculi [BHR][Mil] were designed to model interactive systems hierarchically, and to model their behaviour abst...

E-books are commonly perceived as offering great potential for learner support but also as struggling to compete with print due to poor on-screen presentation, restrictive licencing and limited range of titles offered. The experience of a group of Irish university libraries shows that, with the right combination of product and subjects, e-books can thrive among students and faculty, while libra...
