INTRODUCTION In order to facilitate GPs in their work and increase the possibilities for patients to remain at home, it is important to identify the obstacles which hinder the delivery of primary palliative care. From previous research we learned about some of the problems experienced by GPs. In this survey we aimed to identify the prevalence of such problems in providing palliative care and it...

We present a heuristic approach to geometric path planning with movable obstacles. Treating movable obstacles as mobile robots leads to path planing problems with many degrees of freedom which are intractable. Our strategy avoids this computational complexity by decoupling the whole motion planning problem into a series of tractable problems, which are solved using known path planning algorithm...

Introduction. Enhancement and continuity of educational quality through the development of research attitude at the university from the viewpoint of the faculty members. This is achievable through identifying the difficulties and obstacles in doing research works. Methods.he above study is a descriptive research using questionnaires as the data collection instrument whose validity, reliability...

The decision making on selection of improvement solutions was one of the obstacles hampering the success of process improvement. This paper presents the House of Improvement (HOI) model as a guideline to link decision criteria for the prioritisation of improvement solutions. Three phases in the HOI are applied to facilitate selection and to ensure that suitable and value-added solutions are cho...
