Improving understanding Sample Clauses

Improving understanding of the mechanisms underpinning socioeconomic disparities in mental health in low- and middle-income populations Within the literature discussed so far, GxE analyses have been limited to samples drawn from high-income countries. Thus, findings from these studies may not generalise to countries with greater economic disparity, higher levels of poverty, and other differences in social stratification processes (e.g., gender norms). There is limited representation of genetically informative research conducted in lower- and middle-income populations (Polderman et al., 2015), even as the greatest health disparities and disease burden are observed in LMIC (Xxxxxxx, 2017; Xxxxxx et al., 2006). This limits our understanding of the processes underpinning the relationship between SES and mental health in these populations. In chapter 3, I make use of the rich data available from the Colombo Twins and Singletons Study (CoTASS) to investigate individual differences in socioeconomic factors and their influence on depression in Sri Lanka. Using structural equation modelling, I explore genetic and environmental influences on individual socioeconomic indicators and depression symptoms and moderation of aetiological influences on depression as a function of these socioeconomic indicators. In this study, I aim to improve our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the relationship between socioeconomic status and depression symptoms in a South Asian population.

  • Basic Understandings 1.1 The Maine Legislature enacted An Act to Restructure the State’s Electric Industry Public Law 1997, Chapter 316 codified as 35-A M.R.S.A. §§ 3201-3217 (the “Restructuring Act”). Accordingly, the T&D agrees to provide services to Provider in accordance with the Restructuring Act, all applicable Maine Public Utilities Commission (“MPUC”) Rules and Regulations, the Maine Electronic Business Transactions Standards approved by the MPUC (“EBT Standards”), all applicable FERC jurisdictional tariffs, rate schedules and agreements and the T&D's Terms and Conditions, incorporated herein by reference (all of the foregoing being further identified in Exhibit C and hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Precepts”), and the terms of this Agreement.

  • Complete Understanding The terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement represent the full and complete understanding between the parties. The terms and conditions may be modified only through the written mutual consent of the parties.

  • Importance The Yampa River is the largest remaining essentially unregulated river in the Upper Colorado River Basin, and its inflow into the Green River, 65 miles downstream of Flaming Gorge Dam, ameliorates some effects of dam operation on river flow, sediment load, and temperature (Xxxx et al. 2000). Holden (1980) concluded that flows from the Yampa River, especially spring peak flows, were crucial to the maintenance of the Green River’s “large-river” characteristics and, therefore, very important to maintaining suitable conditions in the Green River downstream of the confluence. The Yampa River supports resident subadult and adult Colorado pikeminnow, contains one of the primary Colorado pikeminnow spawning areas in the Upper Basin and is a major producer of fish for the entire Green River subbasin (Xxxx and Xxxx 1989). A small population of humpback chub exists in the Yampa River in Dinosaur National Monument (Xxxx and Xxxx 1989; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1990a, 2002a). Spawning aggregations of adult razorback sucker were observed near the mouth of the Yampa River, and adult razorback sucker were captured upstream to the mouth of the Little Snake River (Xxxx and Xxxx 1989). The lower portion of the Yampa River was part of the historic range of bonytail and is associated with some of the most recent captures of this very rare fish. The Bonytail Recovery Plan (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1990b) identified the Yampa River within Dinosaur National Monument as a high priority recovery and/or restoration site. The Little Snake River provides approximately 28% of the Yampa River's flow and 60% of the Yampa River’s sediment supply. The sediment supply of the Little Snake River is believed to be important to the maintenance of backwater nursery areas utilized by young Colorado pikeminnow in the Green River (Xxxxx and Green 1991). Adult Colorado pikeminnow have been captured in the Little Snake River upstream to near Baggs, Wyoming, and humpback chub have been captured in the lower 10 miles of the Little Snake River (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 2002a, 2002c).
