In the Netherlands, attendance rates for breast cancer screening are much lower among Dutch women born in Turkey and Morocco than they are among native Dutch. The reasons for this trend are not yet known. Currently, mortality and incidence rates for these migrant groups are much lower than those of the native population. However, studies show convergence towards the rates of the native Dutch po...

in this study, the incomplete gamma function, an exponential function, a mixed-log function and a polynomial function were evaluated to describe the lactation curve in moroccan holstein-friesian dairy cows. data from 1990 to 1999, comprising 77130 monthly milk yields of 6029 dairy cows in 280 dairy herds, were used. edits were carried out by considering the lactation length (5 d and

E-government has emerged as a government policy to improve the quality and efficiency of administration and make it more proactive and especially more service oriented. To raise these challenges, Moroccan government agencies are providing a wide spectrum of online services to improve government-citizen interactions. However, single service may not be able to serve citizens needs, but a combinat...

This paper presents a preliminary study of intra-speaker and inter-speaker variability in speech production and perception with an inter-dialect investigation of acoustic vocalic space according to different phonological systems. This work aims at providing an analytic study based on individual data that might account for individual strategies. We have studied variability in vowel production an...

BACKGROUND Unhealthy eating patterns and a lack of physical activity (PA) are highly prevalent in most Western countries, especially among lower-educated people, including people of non-Western origin. The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the beliefs and barriers that underlie socio-cognitive and planning constructs related to healthy eating and PA among lower-educated Dutch, Tu...

Methotrexate is an anti-rheumatic agent used as a first-line tretment for rheumatoid arthritis. Hematological malignancies like lymphoma or acute myeloid leukemia have been reported to be secondary to treatment with Methotrexate, but are very uncommon. We report here the first Moroccan case of RA patient on low dose MTX, who developed AML. We also reviewed all similar cases.

BACKGROUND In the Netherlands, youths of Moroccan origin account for a disproportionately large percentage of the population in juvenile justice institutions. Previous research showed that Moroccan adolescents in pre-trial arrest are characterized by less serious offending behavior (i.e., primarily property-based) and lower levels of mental health problems than native Dutch adolescents in pre-t...
