The Requirements Engineering (RE) discipline is where the software system needs or requirements are captured; these are then “translated” into software components. At present, functional requirements are treated, but non-functional requirements (NFR) are neglected, causing problems at later stages of development. In an industrial software production context, product quality must be considered, ...

The present study descriptively compares the need for recovery (NFR) among 128 nursing professionals (nurses) and 223 call center operators according cutoff points in the literature (45 and 50) and by means of statistical tests, and verifies the association between NFR scores and the presence of musculoskeletal symptoms. NFR was evaluated with the Need for Recovery Scale and musculoskeletal sym...

OBJECTIVES Pain catastrophizing has been associated with higher pain intensity, increased risk of developing chronic pain and poorer outcomes after treatment. Despite this, the mechanisms by which pain catastrophizing influences pain remain poorly understood. It has been hypothesized that pain catastrophizing may impair descending inhibition of spinal level nociception. The aims of this study w...

The main agenda of Requirements Engineering (RE) is the development of tools, techniques and languages for the elicitation, specification, negotiation, and validation of software requirements. However, this development has traditionally been focused on functional requirements (FRs), rather than non-functional requirements (NFRs). Consequently, NFR approaches developed over the years have been f...

NFRs are important since the system architecture greatly depends on the NFRs [20]. Mostly NFR Literature has considered only for key challenges and issues related to NFR. In context of such a need a roadmap for important issues is required. In this paper survey has been presented on interesting ongoing work in the field of non functional requirements and tried to figure out the approaches and m...

Non-functional requirements (NFRs) of software systems are an important source of uncertainty in effort estimation. Furthermore, quantitatively approaching NFR early in a project is difficult. This paper makes a step towards reducing the impact of uncertainty due to NFRs. It offers a new generic classification of the NFRs, and a NFR size measurement method (NFSM) that incorporates NFRs into the...

In recent years, Data Warehouse has emerged as a powerful technology for integrating heterogeneous data into a multidimensional repository on behalf of decision-support analysis. The complex extraction, transformation and loading process involved, as well as the aggregational-intensive queries are governed by a multitude of quality factors such as integrity, accessibility, performance, and othe...

BACKGROUND Impaired sleep enhances pain, perhaps by disrupting pain modulation. PURPOSE Given that emotion modulates pain, the present study examined whether emotional modulation of pain and nociception is impaired in persons with severe insomnia symptoms relative to controls. METHODS Insomnia group (n = 12) met the International Classification of Diseases, tenth revision symptoms for prima...

Abstract: Purpose: This paper presents a longitudinal evaluation of the research about Directive 2014/95/EU regarding Non-Financial Reporting (NFR), identifying t theoretical approaches, methodological adopteds, and topics. Research methodology: Data was collected from Web Science (WoS) database, between 2016 2021. The search criteria resulted in total 59 valid articles, after which we performe...
