In this paper we provide sufficient conditions for regional asymptotic and nonlinear L2m gain estimation of linear systems subject to saturations and/or deadzones, based on piecewise polynomial Lyapunov functions. By using sum-of-squares relaxations, these conditions are formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities for the global case, and bilinear ones for the regional case. The results a...

The design of state observer for a linear discrete or continuous time uncertain system based on circularly regional pole assignment is studied. Taking use of algebraic Riccati equations and linear matrix inequalities, necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the state observer based on circularly regional pole assignment is proposed and the formulation of the gain matrix of the ...

We present a cross sectional study on health related quality of life and EQ5D questionnaire practical use in Primorsko-goranska County in Croatia and inequalities in health between its sub regions with a potential application in regional policies social and healthcare organisation. Of 1066 participants that were patients at 42 family health physician's waiting room, women stood for 636 (59.7%) ...

BACKGROUND In recent years, there have been a growing number of studies on spatial inequalities in health covering a variety of scales, from small areas to metropolitan areas or regions, and for various health outcomes. However, few investigations have compared health status between cities with a view to gaining a better understanding of the relationships between such inequalities and the socia...

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has had significant impacts on Romania, exacerbating existing inequalities in the country. Economic disparities between counties were deepened, with higher GDP per capita and diverse economic activities faring better than those lower narrow activities. also led to a decline population numbers, most historical regions of Muntenia Moldova experiencing below-average ...

STUDY OBJECTIVE To examine time trends in socioeconomic and regional inequalities in under 5 mortality in Indonesia during almost two decades of economic growth. DESIGN Under 5 mortality was calculated for the total population and for subgroups by maternal education, household wealth, rural/urban residence, and island group, using the 1987, 1991, 1994, and 1997 Indonesian Demographic and Heal...

In the context of deepening poverty, growing inequalities within and between countries and the uneven impacts of economic and financial globalisation, we need to consider how social development, underwritten by a people-centred approach, can influence existing and emerging regional processes and change the regional social policy agenda. Moreover, there is a new urgency given the scale of povert...

OBJECTIVE In Ethiopia, coverage of key health services is low, and community based services have been implemented to improve access to key services. This study aims to describe and assess the level and the distribution of health outcomes and coverage for key services in Ethiopia, and their association with socioeconomic and geographic determinants. METHODS Data were obtained from the 2000, 20...
