the effect of using critical discourse analytical tools on the improvement of the learners level of critical thinking in reading comprehension

?it is of utmost priority for an experienced teacher to train the mind of the students, and enable them to think critically and correctly. the most important question here is that how to develop such a crucial ability? this study examines a new way to the development of critical thinking utilizing critical discourse analytical tools. to attain this goal, two classes of senior english la...

Co-integration rank determination in partial systems using information criteria

We investigate the asymptotic and finite sample properties of the most widely used information criteria for co-integration rank determination in ‘partial’ systems, i.e. in cointegrated Vector Autoregressive (VAR) models in which a sub-set of variables of interest is modeled conditional on another sub-set of variables. The asymptotic properties of the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), the Baye...

Nurses' Experiences of Using Hospital Information Systems: A Qualitative Study

Background & Aim: Nurses are the largest group of users of hospital information system and understanding their experiences in the use of this tool has a significant impact on the success or failure of it and ultimately, the quality of care for patients. The aim of this study was to explain the experiences of nurses for using hospital information system in educational hospitals of Tabriz in 2015...

Burst-level congestion control using hindsight optimization

We consider the burst-level congestion control problem in a communication network with multiple traffic sources, modeled as infinite banks of fluid traffic. The controlled traffic shares a common bottleneck node with highpriority cross traffic modeled as Markov-modulated fluid. We introduce a simulation-based congestion control scheme capable of performing effectively under rapidly-varying serv...
