Background: The Rey Complex Figure Test (RCFT) has been widely used to evaluate neurocognitive functions in various clinical groups with a broad range of ages. However, despite its usefulness, the scoring method is as complex as the

Faculties globally are faced with determining how to develop academic curriculum and present course materials so that students not only gain knowledge of the discipline, but also become self-directed learners who develop relevant skills they can apply in their future careers. The broad-based method as educational practice takes a holistic and comprehensive approach to teaching and learning. Broad based methods do not agree with the assumption that various important aspects of benefits ...

Fatigue durability and inspection planning have long been important issues in the design and scheduled inspection of welded offshore structures. For welded structures subjected to cyclic repetitive loading, the admissible stresses in the vicinity of welded joints are relatively low due to the joints vulnerability to fatigue damage. Usually, structures have to be designed for a finite life with an accepted probability of failure based on the S–N approach. Hence, cracks may propagate and be...

The support vector machine (SVM) method is, in its origin, binary. It is based on the principle of separation between the samples of tow classes, one positive and one negative. In this form, the SVM method is very successful in several areas of application given the precision it offers. In practice, we find more applications with multi-class problems, hence the need to extend the binary model to meet multi-class problems. Existing methods currently try mainly to optimize two phases: a trai...

Nowadays, there is a fast growing use of information technology (IT) in education where Higher Education Institutions are, to a certain extent, responsible for opening new frontiers by accepting new challenges and foreseeing the future. In the last decade, Higher Education in general has experienced profound changes mainly driven by IT, which includes not only the pedagogical processes, but also management and administrative processes that became totally dependent on computers,...

INTRODUCTION There is a prevalent issue nowadays that learners of science and engineering lack the professional understanding and abilities of communication between parts and devices. Students cannot exercise and obtain data with the theory and research methods. Among some technical colleges, these issues are becoming more prominent. [1] The e-learning environment is seen as a significant resource for helping ancient traditional formats of learning and transforming the nature of educa...

The unexpected arrival of COVID-19 pandemic has forced a massive shift in nursing education [1]. In order to continue the teaching and learning while complying with prevention and control guidelines and recommendations issued by World Health Organization (WHO) and government agencies, many educational institutions relocated from traditional face-to-face to virtual teaching and learning environments [2]. Fortunately, the positive acceptance and attitude towards online education in...

A critical realist approach to knowledge: implications for evidence-based practice in and beyond nursing This paper will identify some of the key conceptual tools of a critical realist approach to knowledge. I will then apply these principles to some of the competing epistemologies that are prevalent within nursing. There are broadly two approaches which are sometimes distinct from each other and sometimes inter-related. On one side, there is the view that all healthcare interventions should...

Through community partnerships, Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing’s Wald Community Nursing Center has established accessible health centers for the uninsured. Networking with other community-based service providers to offer more comprehensive services to this underserved population has increased access and utilization of care. The unexpected high rate of hepatitis C (HCV) infection found in this population challenged Wald to develop new strategies for diagnosing and facil...

S OFTWARE testing has been widely used in the industry as a quality assurance technique for the various artifacts in a software project. However, software testing is very laborintensive, time-consuming and expensive; almost 50% of the cost [1], [2] and 40% of the time of a software system development is spent on software testing [3]. Software testing has two main aspects: test data generation and application of a test data adequacy criterion. A test data generation technique is an algor...
