Background: Nursing profession is increasingly confronted with many challenges, thus nurses must be empowered to participate in all levels of decision making to enhance their commitment and improve patient care. Aim: This study aimed at identifying the influence of empowerment on nurses’ participation in decision making PDM. Method: Descriptive-correlation design was used. The study subjects in...

Prescription drug misuse (PDM) is of critical concern for the military because of its potential impact on military readiness, the health and well-being of military personnel, and associated health care costs. The purpose of this study is to summarize insights gleaned from a series of activities that the RAND Corporation undertook for the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Readiness to ad...

Given the present extensive co-circulation in pigs of Eurasian avian-like (EA) swine H1N1 and 2009 pandemic (pdm/09) H1N1 viruses, reassortment between them is highly plausible but largely uncharacterized. Here, experimentally co-infected pigs with a representative EA virus and a pdm/09 virus yielded 55 novel reassortant viruses that could be categorized into 17 genotypes from Gt1 to Gt17 based...

We systematically evaluated a variety of MR spiral imaging acquisition and reconstruction schemes using a computational perceptual difference model (PDM) that models the ability of humans to perceive a visual difference between a degraded "fast" MRI image with subsampling of k-space and a "gold standard" image mimicking full acquisition. Human subject experiments performed using a modified doub...

OBJECTIVE We examined the prevalence and correlates of prescription drug misuse (PDM) in a population-based sample of adults from Alberta. METHODS Data were collected from 3511 adults in Alberta aged 18 years and older in 2002 using a computer-aided telephone survey; the survey response rate was 57.4%. RESULTS The prevalence of 12-month PDM in Alberta was 8.2% in 2002. Opiates were the most...

This position paper treats the use of a PDM system integrated product configurator to support development and configuration of highly customized product variants. The problem is investigated as a part of a Ph.D. project performed at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden.

today, the management and development of enterprises, is knowledge of the aims; they know that using their knowledge continuity in the management of human resources better and more effective aid and assistance and thus may be more effective to reduce and mitigate the destructive effects of the human resources to deal with the buckle. this study was the development impact of the reduction of con...

Throughout the development of complex products, thousands of requirements are established, communicated, followed up, and verified. In addition, even more design solutions, at various levels of abstractions, are created, refined, evaluated, industrialised and verified during this period. Although design tools support the documentation and administration of the output of these activities, i.e. r...

Engineering for development, production, and other product related company activities are being organized in virtual systems for lifecycle management of product data. This new age of engineering is a result of the continuous development for step-by-step moving of product design, analysis and other production engineering activities from conventional environments to modeling environments during t...
