This study contributes to this emerging literature by examining whether this trade should be understood as differential treatment based on immigrant status or as a broader dynamic of racial preferences in the marriage market.MethodsThis study compares age gaps in unions of int

Actual Versus Potential Impact: Leveraging Life Cycle Assessment to Implement Business Models for Sustainability

Research on business models for sustainability (BMfS) has primarily focused on the conceptual aspects and sustainability potential of BMfS rather than their actual impact. There is a need to understand whether BMfS have less environmental impact on society than conventional business models and in what context and conditions they can reduce impact. This research conducted a systematic literature re

Classifiers of anterior cruciate ligament status in female and male adolescents using return-to-activity criteria

Purpose: A lack of standardization exists for functional tasks in return-to-activity (RTA) guidelines for adolescents with anterior cruciate ligament injury (ACLi). Identifying the variables that discern ACLi status among adolescents is a first step in the creation of such guidelines following surgical reconstruction. This study investigated the use of classification models to discern ACLi status

Managing transition to nursing home

Relocation to residential care facilities is a unique type of transition. For most older people it is the lastmove they make in their life when they have no other options.
