    The concept in topology was defined by Karol Borsuk in 1931. [ 2 ] Borsuk's student, Samuel Eilenberg , was with Saunders Mac Lane the founder of category theory, and (as the earliest publications on category theory concerned various topological spaces) one might have expected this term to have initially be used.

    [7] For all n for fields of revolution — shown by Boris Dekster (1995). [8] The problem was finally solved in 1993 by Jeff Kahn and Gil Kalai, who showed that the general answer to Borsuk's question is no. [9] They claim that their construction shows that n + 1 pieces do not suffice for n = 1325 and for each n > 2014.

  5. Bing–Borsuk conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bing–Borsuk_conjecture

    In mathematics, the Bing–Borsuk conjecture states that every -dimensional homogeneous absolute neighborhood retract space is a topological manifold. The conjecture has been proved for dimensions 1 and 2, and it is known that the 3-dimensional version of the conjecture implies the Poincaré conjecture .

    The biopsychosocial model of health. Biopsychosocial models are a class of trans-disciplinary models which look at the interconnection between biology, psychology, and socio-environmental factors.

    Nursing theories frame, explain or define the practice of nursing. Roy's model sees the individual as a set of interrelated systems (biological, psychological and social). The individual strives to maintain a balance between these systems and the outside world, but there is no absolute level of balance.

  9. Salutogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salutogenesis

    Salutogenesis focuses attention on the study of the origins (genesis) of health (salus) and of positive health outcomes—moving towards the positive end of an ease/dis-ease continuum—in contrast to the more usual study of the origins of disease and risk factors (pathogenesis). Salutogenesis emphasizes the importance of sense of coherence ...
