Metlmds In a community-based cross-sectional study, multi-phase, stratified, unequal proportional and cluster sampling was adopted to survey 60 124 children aged 0-6 years. All the investigated children were screened for disabilities, and those with positive screening tests were further diagnosed by various specialties. Results A total of 819 children were diagnosed as disabled with an overall prevalence of 1,362%, 0.155% for hearing disability, 0.160% for visual disability, 0.931% for intelligent disability, 0.424% for limb disability, and 0.101% for mental disability. Prevalence of disability in children was higher in rural areas, and in families with two or more children, low educational level or in divorced families. Conclusion The prevalence of disability can be reduced by economic development, improvement of health care and quality of population, as well as harmonious familial relationship, early prevention of disability, and preschool education for disabled children.展开更多

The distinction between our method and that of H. Sagan is that we provide the generation process analytically and represent it as a graph of a series function which looks like the Weierstrass function. With these arithmetic expressions, we further analyze and prove some of the fractal properties of the Koch-type curves such as the self-similarity, the HSlder exponent and with the property of continuous everywhere but differentiable nowhere. Then, we will show that the Koch- type curves can be approximated by different constructed generators. Based on the analytic transformation of the Koch-type curves, we also constructed more continuous but nowhere-differentiable curves represented by arithmetic expressions. This result implies that the analytical expression of a fractal has theoretical and practical significance.展开更多
