The effects of asthma on the body include coughing, shortness of breath, wheezing and chest tightness, if left untreated a severe asthma attack could be fatal (NIH, 2014). While asthma currently has no cure, it is assumed that preventative measures can be taken to lessen the risk or improve the chance

The Human Development Index (HDI) does a pronounced disservice to India. India, a country that, through economic miracles and perseverance, has risen from the ranks of the poorest in the world to a middle-income country in the span of only a few decades. The HDI Report, which is not universally applicable and applies too much weight in certain areas, makes certain countries look better than they should or, in India’s case, artificially lower its ranking among the world. So, although skewed, what

following table shows the results: Fraser Institute : Heritage Index Correlation: 0.9276 Ease of Doing Business, World Bank : Heritage Index Correlation: 0.9606 Freedom House, Civil Liberties Index : Heritage Index Correlation: 0.8205 This data makes clear that the Heritage Index, even if biased, correlates strongly with measures from other organizations, calculated with different methodologies, for different purposes. The Heritage Index is calculated using ten sub-indices as measures of relevant

Left atrial volume index is the strongest predictor of development of persistent atrial fibrillation in obese non-hypertensives. Introduction: The global nature of the obesity epidemic was formally recognized by a World Health Organization consultation in 1997(1). Prior epidemiologic studies have yielded conflicting results regarding whether obesity is a risk factor for Atrial fibrillation (AF), but these studies were potentially limited by short-term follow up and lack of echocardiography data(2)

notable locations of this trend is Haiti. With staggering poverty rates and deplorable health standards, Haiti has the lowest development rate in the Western Hemisphere (The Haitian People). Haiti’s development is verified by its Human Development Index (HDI). Established by the United Nations, a world organization dedicated to the development and safety of the world’s countries, an HDI is a value ranging from zero in less developed nations and one in more developed nations that measures several statistics

the concept of how the Consumer Price Index (CPI), how to use an estimate the inflation from the CPI, Producer Price Index (PPI), prime rate and how to measure the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) and international value of the dollar in the stock market. Introduction The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) of the U.S. Department of releases the statistics of every part of that consist of prices, money and interest rates. The BLS produces a cost or living index on a monthly bases with the understanding

Human Development Index According to Anderson (2014), Human Development Index (HDI) is the most efficient single matrix for the welfare and progress of an economy. The approach measures the country’s value and well-being in three dimensions namely, education/knowledge, life expectancy (healthy and long life), and a decent living standard (determined by the GDP per capita). Apparently, the first two elements of Human Development Index (education and health) focuses on precise societal goals, but the

Factors such as production levels, inequality and corruption contribute to the country’s human development index. Gender inequality is one of the factors that may lower a country’s human development index, because the inequality creates implications on the development for a country. This essay will contrast and evaluate the ranks of gender inequality index (GII) and human development index (HDI) between the two countries: Brazil and Turkey. Overall, this paper argues in terms of gender equity, the
