A MODEL OF AGE–STRUCTURED POPULATION UNDER STOCHASTIC PERTURBATION OF DEATH AND BIRTH RATES by Maxim A. Alshanskiy

“…Under consideration is construction of a model of age-structured population reflecting random oscillations of the death and birth rate functions. We arrive at an Itô-type difference equation in a Hilbert space of functions which can not be transformed into a proper Itô equation via passing to the limit procedure due to the properties of the operator coefficients. …”

Social capital as a determinant of quality of life in greek cancer patients: a cross-sectional study by Athanasios Pitis, Maria Diamantopoulou, Aspasia Panagiotou, Dimitrios Papageorgiou, Foteini Tzavella

“…The association between QoL and Social capital scales was checked via Spearman correlation coefficients (rho).ResultsGreater total score in Social capital scale was significantly associated with greater overall QoL (β = 0.005; p &lt; 0.001), better Emotional functioning (β = 0.004; p = 0.004) and better Social functioning (β = 0.009; p = 0.002),with lower Nausea and vomiting (β = −0.017; p = 0.015), Insomnia (β = −0.014; p = 0.002), Appetite loss (β = −0.010; p = 0.018) and Constipation symptoms (β = −0.009; p = 0.047).ConclusionThere was a strong association between a greater social capital score and the quality of life of Greek cancer patients, indicating that higher levels of social capital are associated with improved quality of life.…”
