Creativity in care: The need for nursing today

The rise of emerging needs, the emergence of person-centered care, and the departure of care from conventional academic stereotypes, raises the need for evidence-based practice and efficient clinical reasoning in nursing. All this requires fluidity of mind and creativity in patient care. Given the importance of creativity in nursing care and its consequences at the individual and organizational...

Emergency medicine in Italy today: just like the USA in 1968

We were impressed by an article recently published on the American College of Emergency Physicians website, titled “The ACEP logo: what it really means” [1]. When Art Auer designed the well-known logo, the missing square among the 64 represented the absence of emergency medicine from the framework of organized medicine in the USA in 1968.

Just What Do the Youth of Today Want? Technology Appropriation by Young People

What do young people want from information and communication technology? Why do they adopt some technologies but reject others? What roles do mobile technologies play in their lives as they move from childhood toward the adult world? Working from a social constructionist perspective, and on the basis of an extensive empirical research process, we are gaining insight into the variables heeded by...

A Mathematical Programming Model for Flow Shop Scheduling Problems for Considering Just in Time Production

  In this paper, we consider a flow shop scheduling problem with bypass consideration for minimizing the sum of earliness and tardiness costs. We propose a new mathematical modeling to formulate this problem. There are several constraints which are involved in our modeling such as the due date of jobs, the job ready times, the earliness and the tardiness cost of jobs, and so on. We apply adapte...
