The strain on public resources to meet the healthcare needs of populations through publicly‐provided health insurance programmes is increasing and many governments turn to private health insurance (PHI) to ease the pressure on government budgets.
In our observations, we identified five different petiole outlines: circular, with indentation (terete petiole), flattened horizontally, flattened vertically and polygonal. We found that those with an indentation and polygonal outline tend to occur in longer petioles from taller trees, while circular outlines tend to be more frequent in shorter ...
2 kwi 2021 · The petioles in particular must fulfil two important functions: (1) sustain their own weight and that of the lamina against gravity and (2) provide enough mechanical stability to withstand bending and twisting while being flexible enough not to be damaged [5, 6, 8, 9].
The petiole is a stalk that attaches a leaf to the plant stem. In petiolate leaves the leaf stalk may be long (as in the leaves of celery and rhubarb), or short (for example basil). When completely absent, the blade attaches directly to the stem and is said to be sessile.
18 sty 2024 · Some leaves are attached to the plant stem by a stalklike petiole and are called petiolate leaves (Figure \(\PageIndex{2}\)). Although petioles are narrow and often resemble stems, they are considered part of the leaf.
28 sie 2019 · Understanding the drivers of differences in the outcomes of insurance reforms is critical to inform future implementations of publicly funded health insurance to achieve the broader goal of universal health coverage.
In general, leaves may be petiolate, with a petiole, or sessile, without a petiole. Leaflets of a compound leaf are, correspondingly, either petiolulate or sessile. (The term subsessile is sometimes used for a leaf/leaflet with a small, rudimentary petiole/petiolule.)
