Background Exploring changes in health inequality and its determinants over time is of policy interest. Accordingly, this study aimed to decompose inequality in neonatal mortality into its contributing factors and then explore changes from 1995-2000 to 2005-2010 in Iran.   Methods Required data were drawn from two Iran’s demographic and health survey (DHS) conducted in 2000 and 2010. Normalized...

minkowski type inequalities for the seminormed fuzzy integrals on abstract spaces are studied in a rather general form. also related inequalities to minkowski type inequality for the seminormed fuzzy integrals on abstract spaces are studied. several examples are given to illustrate the validity of theorems. some results on chebyshev and minkowski type inequalities are obtained.

background: despite significant reduction in global disease prevalence, leprosy still has a high rate of disability while its determinants are unfair and many of them are amendable. the objective of this study was to measure inequality of disability in leprosy in iran. methods: this was a cross‑sectional study (2006‑2007) on all living people affected by leprosy registered in w. azerbaijan prov...

background: infant mortality rate is a useful indicator of health conditions in the society, the racial and socioeconomic inequality of which is from the most important measures of social inequality. objectives: the aim of this study was to determine the socioeconomic inequality and its determinants regarding infant mortality in an iranian population. patients and methods: this cross-sectional ...

Educational inequality is one of the types of inequality which always pervades on an educational system. The existence of the educational inequality alongside other inequalities and their interaction are the most important in a society. This paper attempts to examine the factors that affect educational inequality in Kazeroon city. The method of present study is survey and data collection tool i...

Let μ1 and μ2 be positive σ-finite measures on Ω1 and Ω2 respectively, k : Ω1 × Ω2 → R be a non-negative function, and K(x) = ∫ Ω2 k(x, y) dμ2(y), x ∈ Ω1. We state and prove a new class of refined general Hardy-type inequalities related to the weighted Lebesgue spaces L and L, where 0 < p ≤ q < ∞ or −∞ < q ≤ p < 0, convex functions and the integral operators Ak of the form Akf(x) = 1 K(x) ∫ Ω2 ...
