Higher education institutions are struggling to elevate the value and status of academic teaching. In this endeavour, rewards for excellence in teaching becoming a common measure. This study reports on experience first teachers who were given as rewarded new reward systems. We explore teachers’ potential influence learning culture through socio-cultural perspective, where is assumed materialise...

Multivariate reward processes with reward functions of constant rates, defined on a semi-Markov process, first were studied by Masuda and Sumita, 1991. Reward processes with nonlinear reward functions were introduced in Soltani, 1996. In this work we study a multivariate process , , where are reward processes with nonlinear reward functions respectively. The Laplace transform of the covar...

introduction: patient safety and its requirements fulfillment are today one of the useful valuation indicators in healthcare organizations. thus, patient safety culture and its promotion are referred to as one of the most important issues raised in the country. the present study aims to examine the effective factors (personal and organizational) in patient safety culture from the point of view ...

Model checking Markov reward models unites two different approaches of model-based system validation. On the one hand, Markov reward models have a long tradition in model-based performance and dependability evaluation. On the other hand, a formal method like model checking allows for the precise specification and verification of complex qualitative system properties. The logic CSRL (an extensio...
