Introduction: Blended learning, a new approach in educational planning, isdefined as an applying more than one method, strategy, technique or media in education. Todays, due to the development of infrastructure of Internet networks and the access of most of the students, the Internet can be utilized along with traditional and conventional methods of training. The aim of this study was to compar...

As stated by Driscoll (2002), ‘blended learning means different things to different people, which illustrates its widely untapped potential’. However, the concept of blended learning as defined as the integrated combination of pedagogical approaches to produce an optimal learning outcome, coordinated with instructional technology focusing on skill-driven and intended learning, is not foreign to...

In this paper $S$ is a monoid with a left zero and $A_S$ (or $A$) is a unitary right $S$-act. It is shown that a monoid $S$ is right perfect (semiperfect) if and only if every (finitely generated) strongly flat right $S$-act is quasi-projective. Also it is shown that if every right $S$-act has a unique zero element, then the existence of a quasi-projective cover for each right act implies that ...

We prove some existence results of solutions for a new class of generalized bi-quasivariational inequalities GBQVI for quasi-pseudomonotone type II and strongly quasi-pseudomonotone type II operators defined on noncompact sets in locally convex Hausdorff topological vector spaces. To obtain these results on GBQVI for quasi-pseudomonotone type II and strongly quasipseudomonotone type II operator...

This study’s purpose was to synthesize the user network (including subjective norm and network externality), task-technology fit (TTF), and expectation–confirmation model (ECM) to explain nurses’ intention to continue using the blended electronic learning (e-learning) system within medical institutions. A total of 450 questionnaires were distributed to nurses, of which, 352 (78.2%) questionnair...

The possibility that ingredients added to tobacco contribute to the addictiveness of cigarette smoking was evaluated by comparing cessation rates of smokers of traditional blended cigarettes to those of smokers of flue-cured cigarettes. Such a comparison is a valid means of assessing cigarette ingredients as traditional blended cigarettes contain ingredients (>20), whereas flue-cured cigarettes...

In this article, we propose an axiomatic system for fuzzy “cardinality” measures (referred to as fuzzy c-measures for short) assigning to each finite fuzzy set a generalized cardinal that expresses the number of elements that the fuzzy set contains. The system generalizes an axiomatic system introduced by J. Casasnovas and J. Torrens (2003). We show that each fuzzy c-measure is determined by tw...
