Important benefits accrue to the profession and to its vulnerable clientele when social workers hold positions with substantial community or policy influence. However, fewer social workers are holding these positions than in the past, and student preferences to pursue macro-specific training have declined. To improve the social work profession's ability to recruit and educate students intereste...

We present a domain-general account of causation that applies to settings in which macro-level causal relations between two systems are of interest, but the relevant causal features are poorly understood and have to be aggregated from vast arrays of micro-measurements. Our approach generalizes that of Chalupka et al. (2015) to the setting in which the macro-level effect is not specified. We for...

accumulating evidence suggest that in patients with diabetes mellitus, increased rate of lipoprotein oxidation and oxidative stress have important role in diabetic angiopathy, including nephropathy. to evaluate the association of oxidized low- density lipoprotein (ox-ldl) with the development of diabetic nephropathy, plasma level of ox-ldl were measured in 70 diabetic patients with macro and 63...

In our fast-growing world, we need to create increasingly efficient systems ensure further growth and sustainability. This also applies transportation, where a key limitation is the bottle-necks of road network capacity. To eliminate, or at least, moderate these bottlenecks, they must first be localised. this case study, model proposed objectively identify weak points infrastructure in Western ...

This paper describes an experimental prototype of a code generation tool for embedded special-purpose processors. The tool is a retargetable assembly-code-level macro expander capable of program ow analysis. The main advantage of the tool is its strong support for macro hierarchy: hierarchical macro libraries make the code (produced either by the compiler writer or by the assembly language prog...
