BACKGROUND Most airway problems in children are identified in advance; however, unanticipated difficulties can arise and may result in serious complications. Training for these sporadic events can be difficult. We identified the need for a structured guideline to improve clinical decision making in the acute situation and also to provide a guide for teaching. OBJECTIVE Guidelines for airway m...

AIM There is a paucity of data from randomized controlled treatment trials in childhood arterial ischaemic stroke. Our objectives were to identify and plan a trial through use of a Delphi consensus process. METHOD The Delphi panel consisted of Australian, New Zealand, and European paediatric neurologists with interests in childhood stroke. Four rounds were conducted using a REDCap (Research E...

Despite the increasing use of neighbourhood sustainability assessment tools (NSAT), their linear approach may be insufficient to tackle global and local social ecological challenges. The circular economy (CE) has recently emerged as a new pathway, adopted by corporations public organisations. Understanding how apply CE existing communities, while addressing some its shortcomings, particularly s...

BACKGROUND Quality acupuncture influences the outcomes of clinical research, and issues associated with effective administration of acupuncture in randomized controlled trials need to be addressed when appraising studies. OBJECTIVE The study objective was to achieve consensus on domains and items for inclusion in a rating scale to assess quality acupuncture administered in clinical research. ...

In practice, many practical problems occur in uncertain environments, especially in situations that involve human subjective evaluation such as that in the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). This paper presents a practical multi-criteria group decision-making method for decision making under uncertainty. To handle the randomness and fuzziness of individual judgments, the normal Cloud model, grou...

To promote the development of electric vehicles (EVs), many charging stations have been built. The construction of charging stations costs a lot, hence it’s necessary to evaluate their energy efficiency due to their main aims of energy conservation. In this paper, a fuzzy model based on the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE) and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is presented to evaluate the en...

Recent advances in information technology management reflect the growing understanding that the most significant asset at risk is not hardware or facilities but, rather, the information that those assets service. An ongoing debate exists as to how—or whether—information can be valued. This chapter provides an overview and detailed guidance for one proven method of information valuation, the Del...

One of the largest challenges facing educators teaching object-oriented courses is deciding how to evaluate each students programming skill. This research focus on how we addressed this challenge in object oriented programming course by proposing a new assessment method to assess students’ object-oriented programming skills. The process begins by identifying generic object-oriented skills that ...
