THE NEW NURSING QUALIFICATIONS FRAMEWORK

Explaining the European Qualifications Framework for Lifelong Learning

Two New Weak Constraint Qualifications and Applications

We present two new constraint qualifications (CQ) that are weaker than the recently introduced Relaxed Constant Positive Linear Dependence (RCPLD) constraint qualification. RCPLD is based on the assumption that many subsets of the gradients of the active constraints preserve positive linear dependence locally. A major open question was to identify the exact set of gradients whose properties had...

The Effectiveness of National Vocational Qualifications in Residential and Nursing Homes

The impact of the Government’s modernisation agenda on the workforce in residential and nursing homes has particular significance for the training of care staff, directly and indirectly. Major forces for reform were Modernising the Social Care Workforce and the National Minimum Standards for Care Homes for Older People (NMS), which require providers to ensure that 50% of their staff are trained...

New Farkas-type Constraint Qualifications in Convex Infinite Programming

This paper provides KKT and saddle point optimality conditions, duality theorems and stability theorems for consistent convex optimization problems posed in locally convex topological vector spaces. The feasible sets of these optimization problems are formed by those elements of a given closed convex set which satisfy a (possibly in…nite) convex system. Moreover, all the involved functions are ...
