PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to examine relationships between change fatigue, resilience, and job satisfaction among novice and seasoned hospital staff nurses. BACKGROUND Health care is typified by change. Frequent and vast changes in acute care hospitals can take a toll on nurses and cause change fatigue, which has been largely overlooked and under-researched. DESIGN AND METHOD A ...

Suppose some random resource (energy, mass or space) χ ≥ 0 is to be shared at random between (possibly infinitely many) species (atoms or fragments). Assume Eχ = θ < ∞ and suppose the amount of the individual share is necessarily bounded from above by 1. This random partitioning model can naturally be identified with the study of infinitely divisible random variables with Lévy measure concentra...

The literature on British economic history presumes that Britain was a free trader after the repeal of the Corn Laws and that her tariff levels were thus below those which were optimal for maximizing utility. Presumably, if the optimal British tariff had been positive and greater than the levels established by mid-century, a reduction to zero of all tariffs that remained would have lowered Brit...

We evaluated the influence of proprioceptive information about arm position on the perceptual localization of auditory and visual targets attached to the hand. Our approach was to distort the perceived position of the restrained arm by means of mechanical vibration of the biceps brachii muscle; such vibration elicits compelling apparent extension of the stationary forearm (Goodwin, G. M., D. I....

The Israeli Kibbutz movement is a voluntary cooperative based on equality, mutual assistance, partnership, and common ownership of property. It is one of the last socialist experiments that successfully survived for most of the twentieth century. How did a voluntary egalitarian institution exist in a more capitalist environment? What level of equality can be sustained as an equilibrium? I study...

Simultaneous equations models identified via heteroskedasticity may be subject to weak identification concerns due to proportional changes in variance across series. Considering data from Nakamura & Steinsson (2017), I calibrate simulations to show the relevance of these concerns in practice. I propose conditions under which robust inference methods for a subset of the parameter vector are vali...

Null Hypothesis Significance Testing (NHST) has been a mainstay of the social sciences for empirically examining hypothesized relationships, and the main approach for establishing the importance of empirical results. NHST is the foundation of classical or frequentist statistics. The approach is designed to test the probability of generating the observed data if no relationship exists between th...

This chapter focuses on the relationship between motor control and position sense (PS) defined as the ability of humans to recognize the position of body segments under different conditions. Studies showed that afferent signals from proprioceptive and cutaneous and, to a lesser degree, articular receptors satisfactorily reflect passive changes in the position of body segments (Matthews 1972; Ed...

This paper widens the scope of the emerging literature on economic networks by assessing the role of caste networks in Indian local politics. We test the hypothesis that these networks can discipline their members to overcome political commitment problems, enabling communities to select their most competent representatives, while at the same time ensuring that they honor the public goods prefer...
