Other differences are obviously cultural--for example, the preference of some Middle Eastern and South Asian populations to marry their cousins results in higher rates of genetic disorders in those populations than in other populations.
For example, the preference of G for the + 4 position of 5'ss is very strong in fungi but marginal in plants.
For example, the preference of society to pursue not only efficiency goals (that could result in prevention-oriented strategies for the general population) but also equity goals (that could, for example, result in treatment-oriented strategies for the severely ill) may have a large impact on the choice of programs [ 8- 10].
Hundley et al., for example, examined the preferences of pregnant women in Scotland on six key attributes of intrapartum care (i.e., type of midwifery care, options for pain relief, practices in fetal monitoring, 'homeliness' of the birth environment, medical staff involvement, and approach to decision-making) [ 11].
In the Gulf of Maine, for example, the preference for surface waters (91.2±4% of time at 0 50 m) was associated with the highly stratified water column (Δ°C 0.2±0.03°C/m) characterized by a very shallow thermocline (TC 12±4.2 m; n = 25; Figure. 10b, c and d end Jul.-Aug).
Gallagher [ 44], for example, describes the preference of an older female patient for a cup and saucer.
Issues concerning the future of public transport provision, for example ageing, urbanisation and the preferences of current public transport users, form integral parts of planning for future public transport.
For example, such care might fit with the preferences of advanced cancer patients who want to continue potentially life-prolonging treatment.
For example, Scott et al 22 measured the preferences of parents who had children with respiratory illness, in relation to out of hours care models in an urban setting.
The preferences of different individuals, for example, may be taken to reflect differing evaluative judgments about alternatives so that combining these different preferences into a single decision becomes analogous to resolving value conflicts in the individual case.
