Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractSocio-Economic Inequalities and their Impact on Health in PakistanSana Sehar VincentThis article critically reviews published literature on the relationship between socioeconomic inequalities and health outcomes in Pakistan. Studies are systematically assessed in terms to find the relationship between the social, economic, political and biological determinants to health. The studies shown that the genetical abnormalities, malnutrition and terrorism have significantly affected the quality of life. Moreover, international relations and the national … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 23 Jul 2016 · 8,815 accessesView PDFCite

IsaevaThe article Russian women is considered as a subjects of constitutional and administrative law and studies different characteristics of their political activity: Conservation of patriarchal tendency as precondition of actual inequality of men and women in the political sphere; formal indices of women's political activity in the Soviet times, their quantitative and qualitative reduction during perestroika and in contemporary times; … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 12 · 3 Jan 2015 · 6,622 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCONSTRUCTION OF GENERAL SUBSUMPTIVE SOLUTIONS OF BOOLEAN EQUATIONS VIA COMPLETE-SUM DERIVATIONAli Muhammad Ali Rushdi, Hussain Mobarak AlbarakatiBoolean-equation solving permeates many diverse areas of modern science. To solve a system of Boolean equations, one usually combines them into an equivalent single Boolean equation {f(X) = 0} whose set of solutions is exactly the same as that of the original system of equations. One of the general classes of solutions for Boolean equations is the subsumptive general solution, … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 13 Mar 2014 · 7,112 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWomen Empowerment through Participation in Microcredit Programme: A Case StudyFerdoushi Ahmed, Chamhuri Siwar, Nor Aini Hj. IdrisProblem statement: Although women constitute almost half of the total population of Bangladesh, they are ascribed a lower status than men. Especially, rural women in Bangladesh experience adverse situations in terms of socio-economic inequality and gender disparity. They are the most deprived of the society and majority of them are extremely poor. Microcredit programme contributes to increase empowerment of rural … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 9 · 1 Aug 2011 · 7,353 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew sufficient condition of Discrete-time systems of neural networksManlika Tanusit, Kreangkri RatchagitProblem statement: In this study, we derive a new sufficient condition for asymptotic stability of the zero solution of delay-differential system of neural networks in terms of certain matrix inequalities by using a discrete analog of the new Lyapunov second method. Conclusion/Recommendations: The problem is solved by applying a novel Lyapunov functional and an improved delay-dependent stability criterion is obtained … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2011 · 7,009 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Delay-Dependent for Discrete-Time SystemsKreangkri RatchagitProblem statement: This study is concerned with the problem of delay-dependent stability analysis for discrete-time systems with interval-like time-varying delays. Conclusion/Recommendations: The problem is solved by applying a novel Lyapunov functional and an improved delay-dependent stability criterion is obtained in terms of a linear matrix inequality. …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,081 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLimits and Opportunities for Autonomous User Organisations in Denmark and SwedenJørgen AnkerThe Nordic welfare states generally support and facilitate the formation of civil society organisations and they provide relatively good opportunities for participation and interest mediation. The Nordic welfare states are also recognised for their efforts to limit social inequality and for seeking to provide acceptable living conditions even for the most vulnerable and excluded groups. This article focuses on the … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,754 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProperties of Absolute Stability in the Presence of Time LagsM. De la Sen, J. L. Malaina, A. Gallego, J. C. SotoThis study is concerned with the properties of absolute stability independent of the delays of time-delay systems, possessing non commensurate internal point delays, for any nonlinearity satisfying a Popov’s- type time positivity inequality. That property holds if an associate delay-free system is absolutely stable and the size of the delayed dynamics is sufficiently small. The results are obtained for nonlinearities … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 6,571 accessesView PDFCite
