Data collection was performed on the SciELO database using the keywords nursing and clinic, present in the abstracts of articles. It was found that the clinic is seen as an instrument used to estab...

Comparison of protein structures can reveal distant evolutionary relationships that would not be detected by sequence information alone. This helps to infer functional properties. In recent years, many methods for pairwise protein structure alignment have been proposed and are now available on the World Wide Web. Although these methods have made it possible to compare all available protein stru...

We study the following Maker/Breaker game. Maker and Breaker take turns in choosing vertices from a given n-uniform hypergraph F , with Maker going first. Maker’s goal is to completely occupy a hyperedge and Breaker tries to avoid this. Beck conjectures that if the maximum neighborhood size of F is at most 2 then Breaker has a winning strategy. We disprove this conjecture by establishing an n-u...

This study introduces the Constructed Response Analysis Tool (CRAT), a freely available tool to automatically assess student responses in online tutoring systems. The study tests CRAT on a dataset of chemistry responses collected in the ChemVLab+. The findings indicate that CRAT can differentiate and classify student responses based on semantic overlap with student input and indices related to ...

Lakoff (1975), a pioneering study of women’s language, suggested a tendency for women to use more of hedges and intensifiers. Subsequent studies still attract some opposing (Fahy, 2002; Nemati and Bayer, 2007) or reinforcing (Bradac et al., 1995; Navalainen, 2008) views. This paper shows how a key word analysis offers an empirical evidence on the use of intensifying adverbs in male and female s...

This text provides a comprehensive framework for providing culturally competent nursing care to individuals, families, groups, communities and institutions. We begin with a synthesis of transcultural theories, models, and research studies. It is our intent to provide transcultural knowledge that can be useful in nursing care. The text actually began in 1989 as a collegial effort by novice trans...
