let $h$, $l$ and $x$ be subgroups of a finite group$g$. then $h$ is said to be $x$-permutable with $l$ if for some$xin x$ we have $al^{x}=l^{x}a$. we say that $h$ is emph{$x$-quasipermutable } (emph{$x_{s}$-quasipermutable}, respectively) in $g$ provided $g$ has a subgroup$b$ such that $g=n_{g}(h)b$ and $h$ $x$-permutes with $b$ and with all subgroups (with all sylowsubgroups, respectively) $v$...

Despite efforts to advance effective patient-provider communication, many patients' language needs continue to be unmet or inappropriately addressed by healthcare providers (Wielawski 2010; Patek et al. 2009; Wilson-Stronks and Galvez 2007). This study presents a picture of the language resources currently provided by hospitals and those resources practitioners actually use. Questionnaire data ...

Since implementation of the New Smoking Cessation Policy in Taiwan, more patients are attending smoking cessation clinics. Many of these patients were referred by hospital staff. Thus, factors which influence the hospital staff's willingness to refer are important. In this study, we aim to understand the relation between smoking cessation knowledge and willingness for referral. A cross-sectiona...

‎let $r$ be a noncommutative prime ring of‎ ‎characteristic different from $2$‎, ‎$u$ the utumi quotient ring of $r$‎, ‎$c$ $(=z(u))$ the extended centroid‎ ‎of $r$‎. ‎let $0neq ain r$ and $f(x_1,ldots,x_n)$ a multilinear‎ ‎polynomial over $c$ which is noncentral valued on $r$‎. ‎suppose‎ ‎that $g$ and $h$ are two nonzero generalized derivations of $r$‎ ‎such that $a(h(f(x))f(x)-f(x)g(f(x)))in ...
