Considerable attention has recently been directed towards the analysis of pluralism in social science, not least in economics. Plurality is often taken as a mark of pluralism. But it is not the same thing, and often indicates little more than…

The purpose of this study was to determine the reliability of the Biodex Balance System in elderly. Forty-five subjects aged 66±5.5 years old and weight 71.6±9.8 kg were tested on the Biodex Balance System. In order to calculate the reliability,…

The current study was designed to evaluate a tool for the self-identification of tapeworm carriers. Clinical and animal health care practitioners and schoolteachers were trained regarding the life cycle, risk factors, and control measures related to infection with Taenia solium.…

The present work assesses some recently developed double-hybrid density functionals (B2π-PLYP, PBE0-DH, and PBE0-2) using linear-response Tamm-Dancoff Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory. This assessment is achieved against experimentally derived low-lying excitation energies of large organic dyes of recent interest, including some…

Theodore Motzkin proved, in 1936, that any polyhedral convex set can be expressed as the (Minkowski) sum of a polytope and a polyhedral convex cone. This paper provides five characterizations of the larger class of closed convex sets in finite…

Critical accounting sees the world as socially constructed and intrinsically linked to organisational, social
and political contexts. Whereas mainstream accounting historians study accounting history in terms of
the progressive development of modern techniques and practices, a Foucauldian analysis challenges the

Basic demographic information for turtles in tropical and sub-tropical regions is still scarce. As a consequence, prospective management and conservation plans for these long-lived vertebrates lack the necessary quantitative background for successful implementation. In this study, we used capture-mark-recapture techniques…

Both females and males may suffer from increased mortality risk as a result of the activities and physiological processes associated with reproduction. In this study I estimated sex-specific reproductive costs in the survival rates of a viviparous and territorial lizard…
