Regional, racial, gender, and tumor biology disparities in breast cancer survival rates in Africa: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

BackgroundThe survival rates from breast cancer in Africa are poor and yet the incidence rates are on the rise.In this study, we hypothesized that, in Africa, a continent with great disparities in socio-economic status, race, tumor biology, and cultural characteristics, the survival rates from breast cancer vary greatly based on region, tumor biolo

A Bi-Objective Model for Scheduling Construction Projects Using Critical Chain Method and Interval-Valued Fuzzy Sets

Numerous constraints affect construction projects, and lack of management may lead to schedule deviation.In the execution phase of the project, due to the lack of timely access to the required resources and the existence of uncertainty, the project activities do not progress following the schedule, and as a probiowrap result, schedule deviation occ
