In 2008, the Ontario Long Term Care Association was awarded funding from HealthForceOntario to assist with its nursing recruitment strategy based on research it had initiated in 2007. The research goal was to understand the career motivations and perceptions of students enrolled in registered nursing (RN) and registered practical nursing (RPN) programs in Ontario to develop and test a message t...

Linkage disequilibrium (LD) measures are primary elements involved in the kinds of definitions for haplotype block structure. According to the report on a high-resolution analysis of the haplotype structure by Daly at.al., we reformatted their data, which has a range of 500 kb on chromosome 5q31 using 103 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a European-derived population, calculated the pa...

The causation in both domains consists, roughly, in subjects’ representing actions or propositions as favoured by other actions or propositions. But Setiya holds that Causalism is false in the theoretical case and that Equivalence is false in the practical case. Setiya contends, contra theoretical Causalism, that believing for a reason is just a form of belief. He holds that his propositional a...

The global economy has entered the era of rapid industrialization, especially in developing countries; however, under the dual constraints of resources and environment, the extensive economic growth mode will probably seriously affect the process of China’s industrialization and modernization. To keep a balance between industrialization and environment and energy requirements, the development o...

While the Belief, Desire, Intention (BDI) framework is one of the most influential and appealing approaches to rational agent architectures, a gulf often exists between the high-level BDI model and its practical realisation. In contrast, the Concurrent METATEM language, being based upon executable formal specifications, presents a close link between the theory and implementation, yet lacks some...

The two Herculean tasks – to define rationality, as a basis of social order, and to tackle complexity of social phenomena – require harnessing potent forces and resources of logic. One needs ‘basic logic’, that is, logical calculi to have rules of correct reasonings, then methodological reflexion on the use of mathematical models in social sciences, at last some additions to basic logic. The la...

the place of a topic like ‘procedures for developing religiosity’, as a novel and innovative topic, seems to have been standing empty beside topic like ‘origins of religiosity’, and ‘the origin of religion’. the present article, after describing the content, use, and requirements of the topic under investigation, deals with introducing and categorizing paradigms of religiosity. in order to come...

We introduce an integrated approach to the conceptualisation, implementation and evaluation of a MAS (multi-agent system) which is based on sociological concepts of practical roles and organisational coordination via negotiations. We propose a middle level of scale, located between interaction and the overall organisational structure, as the starting point for MAS design, with formal and practi...

Purpose This research studies the behavior choice of key actors in construction supply chain and constructs a model which includes benefit function government, contractors owners, aiming at improving coverage green buildings. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, tripartite dynamic game is studied simulated based on duplicate equation. The under government intervention rarely considered, p...
