Today, we all have been taught that cultural competence is a valuable tool in providing patient-centered care. However, this concept was not considered a standard of oncology nursing practice when the Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) began. It was not regarded as a critical component of patient safety, satisfaction, or quality care. In fact, in the 1970s, the importance of providing culturally co...

This paper describes an environment where two products are offered, one is remanufactured and the other is all-new. Examining the trade-offs between the customer's utility and production cost variables, the model identifies conditions under which the remanufacturing product may coexist with the all-new product. The paper concludes with some insights on why remanufacturing can be successful with...

The goal of the proposed research is to develop metrics for testability, test methods, tools and design rules for high testability in distributed real-time systems (DRTS). Theoretical and practical results with regard to testing and testability of distributed real-time systems are next to nonexistent. Research is therefore of significance to both academia and Industry. We propose here a project...

This is a revisitation of an earlier paper on the same topic. shows sharp shift debate towards austerity. The current in Brazilian Civil Procedure revolves around efficiency, legal certainty, and access to justice, not As matter fact, over austerity nonexistent Brazil so far. By expanding justice broader portion society, system increased number cases costs associated with judicial system. But e...

Rainfall data series with adequate quality and length are often incomplete or nonexistent. Thus, filling in rainfall gaps becomes necessary to complete databases. This article proposes the use of satellite products (TRMM—Tropical Measuring Mission, CHIRPS—Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation Stations CMORPH—CPC Morphing Technique) fill historical series. The simple regression method, us...

But the market has ruled against us. Time and time again, our fielded secure systems are ignored, bypassed, turned off, or constrained to such a small part of the process that the security result is practically nonexistent. Even worse for our mental self-satisfaction, those systems that claim to deliver security to users simply don’t pass muster— they’re not what we’d like to think of as secure...

Introduction / objectives Economic data on healthcare-associated infections (HCAI) in resource-poor countries are practically nonexistent despite the importance of this issue. Healthcare costs are patients’ charges whereas minimum wages is of 72€ in Senegal. The objective of our study was to estimate the length of stay (LOS) and the mean cost of stays of patients who have acquired a HCAI at Hôp...

Chemical hardness (), absolute electronegativity (), and electrophilicity () have importantapplications in inorganic chemistry. These concepts are defined quantitatively as � � �� � ����,� � �� � ����, � � ������Where I is the ionization energy and A is the electron affinity. In thisstudy, graphical method was used to see the relation of electron configuration with chemicalhardness, absolute el...

Let $G$ be a finite group. The automorphism $sigma$ of a group $G$ is said to be an absolute central automorphism, if for all $xin G$, $x^{-1}x^{sigma}in L(G)$, where $L(G)$ be the absolute centre of $G$. In this paper, we study  some properties of absolute central automorphisms of a given finite $p$-group.

While digital panoramic photography taken along travelling routes is very popular, digital panoramic strip maps are virtually nonexistent. In this article, we explore the characteristics of panoramic strip maps and provide an interactive method for their digital creation, focusing on the challenge of straightening curved routes. The resulting software Terrain Bender implements a geometric defor...
