Objective: Assess the completeness of the DataSUS SIM death-count registry, by sex and Brazilian state, and estimate the probability of adult mortality (45q15), by sex and state, from 1980 to 2010. Methods: The study was based on mortality data obtained in the DataSUS Mortality Information System, from 1980 to 2010, and on population data from the 1980, 1991, 2000, and 2010 demographic census...

On the eve of India finishing seventy-five years independence, it is necessary that we've to recapture evolution country's environmental policy In recent years, notably since first 1970’s, earth planet has become more susceptible problems and there’s significant concern on whether earth’s life network itself being vulnerable. a giant country with high population density potential labour force. ...

BACKGROUND Although the common direct obstetric causes of maternal mortality are known from the literature, the contribution of each cause and the change in trend over decades is unknown in Ethiopia. The objective of this review was to assess the trend of proportion of maternal mortality due to the common direct causes. METHODS This systematic review was done on eighteen health facility based...

The crack epidemic, now a decade old, disabused neurologists of the idea that cocaine was a relatively safe drug. Acute neurologic complications of cocaine intoxication such as headaches, delirium, seizures, and strokes have now been amply delineated. Less clear is whether long-term cocaine use, uncomplicated by acute problems, can lead to structural or functional changes in the human brain. Br...

The surface air temperature change over the Tibetan Plateau is determined based on historical observations from 1980 to 2013. In contrast to the cooling trend in the rest of China, and the global warming hiatus post-1990s, an accelerated warming trend has appeared over the Tibetan Plateau during 1998-2013 (0.25 °C decade(-1)), compared with that during 1980-1997 (0.21 °C decade(-1)). Further re...

This research examines trends in educational assortative marriage in China among first marriages from 1970 to 2000, using data from the 2000 China Population Census and the 2001 Chinese Demographic Reproductive Health Survey. The results reveal decreasing educational homogamy rates from 1970 to 1980. However, the estimated odds of educational homogamy increase substantially between 1980 and 199...

Two main reasons prompted the authors to write this paper. First, outbreaks of foot and mouth disease (FMD) have occurred repeatedly in Mali and neighbouring countries during the last decade. Secondly, there is a pressing need for control strategies, since the first molecular epidemiological studies of FMD virus in West Africa have demonstrated that FMD transmission across national boundaries i...

The continuity of various types of Riccati equations has been considered in various contexts in the last decade. In (Czornik, 1996; 2000; Delchamps, 1980; Faibusovich, 1986; Lancaster and Rodman, 1995; Rodman, 1980), the authors examine the continuity of continuous-time algebraic Riccati equations under different conditions. Czornik and Sragovich (1995) consider the situation when the coefficie...
