The aetiology of BD is multifactorial and results from complex interactions between genetic determinants and a number of known and yet to be uncovered environmental factors (Kerner 2014).
So far, the studies on this subject are not conclusive about the particular factors that affect the real effective exchange rate (REER).1 This paper contributes to our knowledge about its determinants in a number of ways, mostly related to methodological aspects.
The study will establish determinants of a number of outcomes involving registrars' clinical and educational activity.
The increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity has become a cause for concern over the past decade [ 1] with overweight and obesity being major determinants of a number of chronic health conditions including hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer [ 2].
In the Arabidopsis community, the collection of 107 different wild accessions has allowed the exploration of the genetic determinants of a number of phenotypes and their relationship to the environment (Atwell et al. 2010).
This study also identified age and gender as determinants of a number of NCDs and risk behaviors, thereby lending support to observations that health interventions in informal settlements may be optimized by age- and gender-specific approaches [ 46].
It is well known that surface properties at nano-scale are determinant in a number of applications, such as sensors, biomedical and optical devices.
Social behavioural factor proved to be a better determinant, but a number of personality and psychological factors were also related to smoking and drinking [ 2].
Many studies including the Muscatine Study [ 4, 5] and the Bogalusa Heart Study [ 6] have convincingly shown that overweight and obesity during adolescence is a determinant of a number of CVD risk factors in adulthood.
The "locus of enterocyte effacement" (LEE) genomic island is a virulence determinant encoding a number of proteins, including the components of a T3SS, required for attachment of enteropathogenic E. coli strains to host intestinal cells (Jerse et al., 1990).
