On the other hand, more than 33 million people are not able to afford basic healthcare services, do not have medical covers, and most of them do not have proper employment (Atun, De Andrade, Almeida, Cotlear, Dmytraczenko, Frenz, & De Paula, 2015).

Going concern model may be used in evaluating the operating expenses of a company.

Immersion in Morocco

I encountered Rachid, a Moroccan, international student on a visit to his lifelong friend studying here on campus.
