In recent years, different countries have implemented the teaching of computer programming from first grade in schools, with aim incorporating computational thinking as a new way that is necessary skill for scientific and technological development, fundamental axis development 21st century. Recent reviews state art shown this task only being carried out by given space to technology science, it ...

The current research sets out to identify and scrutinize the impact of the CEO’s perceptual biases in judgment and economic decision-making on the reporting quality of the firms listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange. Adopting a mixed method, the present study first seeks to detect the components and indices of CEO’s perceptual biases via critical appraisal and with the special participation of 10...

Background: The Great Ormond Street, London and Oslo, Norway (GOSLON) yardstick and the modified Huddart and Bodenham (MHB) index are two indices for evaluating study models to discern the effects of treatment in individuals born with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP). GOSLON is a tool for ranking study models based on their sagittal, vertical, and transversal planes that requires calibrat...

This paper proposes a reliability importance index that is possible to extract from existing reliability simulations at a low additional computational cost. The index utilizes the concept of reliability worth as a measure of system reliability in order to establish the importance of components in systems with several load points. Since the method is based on simulations, it is suitable for larg...

OBJECTIVES To determine the most appropriate indices to evaluate the disease activity and damage in patients with sytemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). METHODS A systematic literature search was performed to identify validation studies of indices used to evaluate disease activity and damage. We collected information for each instrument on every aspect of validation including feasibility, reliabi...

INTRODUCTION Most studies show motion palpation unreliable. This study's primary objective was assessing its reliability using a continuous measure methods, most-fixated level paradigm, stratified by examiners' confidence; and the secondary objective was comparing various indices of examiner agreement. METHODS Thirty-four minimally symptomatic participants were palpated in side posture by two...
