introduction: job satisfaction considered as an important factor in increasing productivity, workers belonging and attachment to the work environment and improving the quantity and quality of work.the aim of this study was to determine job satisfaction levels in medical record staff. methods: it was a descriptive analytic study. due to the limited number of medical records staff in health educa...

abstract background: client satisfaction is an important indicator for assessment of the quality of care provided. detecting patients dissatisfaction and trying to find the most effective and costly services is the basic way for improvement of service quality. the purpose of this study was to determine the satisfaction level of women in the maternity care centers (hospitals) of lorestan univers...

The Semiring Constraint Satisfaction Problem (SCSP) framework is a popular approach for the representation of partial constraint satisfaction problems. Considerable research has been done in solving SCSPs, but limited work has been done in building general SCSP solvers. This paper is a part of a series of papers in which incremental changes are made to a branch and bound (BnB) algorithm in orde...

This article introduces a technique for improving the efficiency of diagnosis through approximate compilation. We extend the approach of compiling a diagnostic model, as is done by, for example, an ATMS, to compiling an approximate model. Approximate compilation overcomes the problem of space required for the compilation being worst-case exponential in particular model parameters, such as the p...

The Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) framework offers a simple and sound basis for representing and solving simple decision problems, without uncertainty. This paper is devoted to an extension of the CSP framework enabling us to deal with some decisions problems under uncertainty. This extension relies on a differentiation between the agent-controllable decision variables and the uncontrol...

introduction: pharmacists and pharmaceutical services are among the most important resources and programs in providing health for a society. pharmacists as the key players in presenting health services, greatly impact on the health of a society and if they suffer low job satisfaction, their dissatisfaction may relatively threaten health in a society. this study was conducted to determine irania...

conclusions the results of the present study revealed that patients are not highly satisfied with the communication skills of physicians and they were least satisfied only with the quality of examination processes by the physicians. in addition, patients with lower education showed lower satisfaction as well. thus, a higher quality and elaboration of examination, more patience and better commun...

Consistency Techniques have been studied extensively in the past as a way of tackling Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP). In particular various arc consistency algorithms have been proposed, originating from Waltz's filtering algorithm [20] and culminating in the opt imal algorithm AC-4 of Mohr and Henderson [13]. AC-4 runs in 0(ed) in the worst case where e is the number of arcs (or constr...

In this paper we present a general representation for constraint satisfaction problems (CSP) and a framework for reasoning about their solution that unlike most constraint-based relaxation algorithms. stresses the need for a "natural" encoding of constraint knowledge and can facilitate making inferences for propagation, backtracking, and explanation. The representation consists o i two componen...
