Maternal education and preventive health behavior: Evidence from Cambodia
Abstract We examine the effect of maternal education on preventive health behavior using data from Cambodia. Given concerns about the endogeneity of education, we employ an instrumental variable (IV) strategy that exploits the variation in the average years of maternal education across provinces and between cohorts that entered primary school following

The Effect of Tobacco Smoking on Tooth Loss: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
ABSTRACT Aims This systematic review aims to examine the causal effect of tobacco smoking on tooth loss. Further, the impact of different frequencies, intensities and lifetime exposures to tobacco smoking on tooth loss and whether the relationship differs by socioeconomic status (SES) are reviewed in the sub‐group analysis. Methods An electronic search

Kantorovich type operator inequalities for Furuta inequality [PDF]
In this paper, we shall present Kantorovich type operator inequalities for Furuta inequality related to the usual order and the chaotic one in terms of a generalized Kantorovich constant, a generalized condition number and the Specht ratio, in which we use variants of the grand Furuta inequality. Mathematics subject classification (2000): 47A63.

ABSTRACT In contrast with other early‐tracking education systems, schools in the Dutch system can provide several combinations of school tracks during the first years of secondary school. We study how the attended type of track(s) affects students' chances of obtaining a pre‐academic school certificate.

This paper proposes a novel coupling‐based coordinated adaptive hierarchical sliding mode controller integrated with a Luenberger sliding mode observer for a class of underactuated nonlinear systems. The method features a moving sliding manifold with an adaptive law for faster convergence and explicitly manages inter‐state coupling to improve ...

Bounds of Operator Functions and Furuta Inequalities
In this paper we shall find bounds of operator functions of the Furuta types, and bounds of the monotone decreasing function F_p,t_( A, B, r, s ) of operators in particular. Consequently, we obtain bounds of Furuta inequalities.

A novel MRASMC framework is developed, with a sliding surface derived from a regressive structure and parameters adaptively updated. An adaptive trigger condition enhances disturbance rejection without requiring complex observers or full system models.

The Mission (Im)possible of Climate Action through Quixotic Institutional Work
Abstract The ‘iron cage’ of the (neo‐) liberal‐capitalist system prioritizes economic returns over climate protection. Formerly powerful nation‐states are subordinated to the rule of markets, whereas business elites have been freed from substantial responsibility for social and environmental concerns.

Inequalities of Reid type and Furuta [PDF]
Two of the most useful inequality formulas for bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space are the Löwner-Heinz and Reid’s inequalities. The first inequality was generalized by Furuta (so called the Furuta inequality in the literature). We shall generalize the second one and obtain its related results. It is shown that these two generalized fundamental
