Brazil could certainly benefit from a little uplift: despite a population of more than 200 million, its returns have tended to be underwhelming.
It uplifts blighted neighborhoods and I like to think we are uplifting a blighted population with our adaptive art workshops.
The face and hands of President McKinley, who wanted to "uplift and Christianize" the population, amusingly usurp a portrait of a Victorian matron, shown holding a Filipino infant in a dress designed after an American flag.
A model applying the relative treatment effect of the 4-year Understanding the Potential Long-term Impacts of Tiotropium (UPLIFT) trial on this population led to an unfavorable cost-effectiveness ratio for tiotropium, based on the reduction of the baseline risk of COPD exacerbation and exacerbation-related hospitalizations [ 15].
However, the UPLIFT-cohort had a lower baseline mean FEV1 compared with our study, further, as most clinical studies the UPLIFT-study included a selected population with regard not only to lung function but also to other factors such as age and co-morbidity.
This pattern is consonant with previous findings in other Neotropical avian taxa (e.g., [ 67- 69]), and has been generally interpreted as the product of vicariant events on widespread ancestral populations mediated by the uplift of the Andes Mountains.
In a relatively short period of time (from 3.0 to 0.5 Ma), all three species underwent two rounds of population decline, which occurred following two intense uplift phases in the third tectonic uplift of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau [ 17, 18].
Seven months of governance by the anti-austerity radical left Syriza – though psychologically uplifting for a large segment of the population – was a rollercoaster of bustups and blustering that left Athens' relations with its EU partners close to rock bottom.
It created in me an understanding of the value of art and culture as a way to uplift me — and not just me, but a whole population".
The possible causes of the first population split were environmental shifts due to the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau at the end of the Miocene [ 29, 30].
