to document, and shine the light on the myriads of global health issues that debilitate developing countries. Although the focus of IJMA is on the social determinants of health and disease as well as on the disparities in the burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases affecting infants, children, women, adults, and families in developing countries, we would like to encourage our fello...

Stories about computer-related action (e.g., placing a document about how a computer virus works on an electronic network?bulletin board) were presented to users. Data indicate that women end-users compared to men have a less libetiarian sense of what is right and wrong; as well, younger respondents are more libertarian than their older compatriots. Data also indicate that participants are less...

Ever since the word “robot” was introduced to the English language by Karel Čapek’s play “Rossum’s Universal Robots” in 1921, robots have been expected to become part of our daily lives. In recent years, robots such as autonomous vacuum cleaners, lawn mowers, and window cleaners, as well as a huge number of toys have been made commercially available. However, a lot of additional research is req...

In most large cities of the developing world, urban air pollution has worsened, which has been detrimental to the health of their populations. At the same time, it is difficult for lay people to sense the level of air quality with bare human perception as air pollutants are mostly invisible and odorless. We believe that computing technologies can help increase awareness of urban air quality. To...

The field of surgery is entering a time of great change, spurred on by remarkable recent advances in surgical and computer technology. Computer-controlled diagnostic instruments have been used in the operating room for years to help provide vital information through ultrasound, computer-aided tomography (CAT), and other imaging technologies. Only recently have robotic systems made their way int...

This perspective lays out a framework to enable the breeding of crops that can meet worldwide demand under challenges global climate change. Past work in various fields has produced multiple prediction methods contribute different plant objectives. Our proposed focuses on integration these into decision-support tools quantify effects objectives decisions made throughout pipeline. We discuss com...
