Two separate studies conceptualized the health friendliness of a workplace, the first qualitatively through content analysis of interviews with 69 nursing superiors about the means employed by their workplace to promote staff health. Findings supported the conceptualization of workplace health friendliness, which was further validated against the staff's health indicators. The second study test...

In this paper, we propose an extension of TCP Westwood allowing the management of the Efficiency/Friendliness-toNewReno tradeoffs. We show that the extended TCP Westwood is able to achieve higher total link utilization, yet at the same time maintain friendliness. TCP Westwood (for short, TCPW) implements a novel window congestion control algorithm based on eligible rate estimation. The performa...

BACKGROUND The rearing environment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected children is often compromised, putting these children at additional risks. Positive caregiving may ameliorate the impact of adverse circumstances and promote attachment security. The goal of the present study was to examine the attachment relationships of HIV-infected children in biological families and institutio...

INTRODUCTION To better reach youth in need of mental health and addiction (MHA) services, there is increasing emphasis on making MHA services 'youth friendly.' However, it is unclear what youth friendliness means on a practical level. This scoping review explores (1) how youth friendliness in mental health services is defined in the literature, (2) what characteristics make MHA services youth f...

Training and adaption of employees are time and money consuming. Employees’ turnover can be predicted by their organizational and personal historical data in order to reduce probable loss of organizations. Prediction methods are highly related to human resource management to obtain patterns by historical data. This article implements knowledge discovery steps on real data of a manufacturing pla...

This paper presents Mediaand TCP-Friendly Rate Control Algorithm (i.e. MTFRC) for scalable video streams. We develop a twotimescale approach to satisfy media friendliness in the short-term, while maintaining TCP friendliness in the long-term. We evaluate MTFRC with five criteria, namely TCP-fairness, responsiveness, aggressiveness, video quality and smoothness of sending rate. Our simulation re...

The notion of age-friendliness is gaining increasing attention from policy makers and researchers. In this study, we examine the congruence between two types of age-friendly surveys: subjective assessments by community residents versus objective assessments by municipal officials. The study was based on data from 39 mostly rural communities in Manitoba, Canada, in which a municipal official and...
