Concepts of health are often multivariate or multidimensional. Structural equation modelling (SEM) is a multivariate method that incorporates ideas from regression, path-analysis and factor analysis. A Bayesian approach to SEM may enable models that reflect hypotheses based on complex theory. The development and application of Bayesian approaches to SEM has, however, been relatively slow but wi...

regarding strategic importance of km, achieving to km objectives is difficult in practice and has faced with challenges. one of the major challenges is reluctance of users in kms acceptance and use. in this paper in order to exploitation of comprehensive model, effective factors of knowledge initiatives are extracted via mixed method in which systematic literature review along with open codding...
