AIM Assessment of factors affecting the degree of illness acceptance in patients with epilepsy and determination of whether the diagnosis of epilepsy influenced the functioning of this population group. MATERIALS AND METHODS The Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS) and authors' own questionnaire were used in this study. The study included 264 patients with epilepsy aged 20-40 years. The study wa...

Recent tourism research increasingly explored the opportunities of using Augmented Reality (AR) in order to boost tourism and increase the value for tourists while travelling within a destination. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) has been applied to a number of research disciplines, lately also AR however, studies focusing on the tourism context are still scarce. As this field is expected ...

Acceptance control charts are effective tools tomonitor capable processes in which the fraction of the produced nonconforming items is very low. In these charts, some controlled changes in the process mean are allowed, and the production of a specified number of defectives is tolerated. Designing these acceptance control charts by considering the cost of sampling, detecting, and investigating o...

An increasing number of courses are being delivered via the web. Some of the materials are developed by faculty and some by other entities such as textbook publishers. The students’ acceptance of web-based learning environment is important because of its increasing use. A variety of factors from the students, technology and instructor sides have been studied in previous research efforts to enha...

The present article will focus on the cognitive theory of mindfulness and its importance in achieving unconditional self-acceptance. The goal of the mindful perspective is to increase cognitive flexibility and to thereby increase behavioral flexibility and the ability to adapt to one’s current environment in a meaningful manner. Empirical evidence spanning four decades attests to the beneficial...

The Technology Acceptance Model, popularly known as the TAM, has been widely used in the information systems literature to explain individual adoption of information technology. In the late 1990’s, and the early part of this century, a number of studies either extended the model by identifying antecedents to technology acceptance or have replicated and validated the model. An aspect that has ca...

In this paper, we develop double acceptance sampling plan and group acceptance sampling plan for an inverse Weibull distribution based on a truncated life test. We consider the median lifetime of the test units as a quality parameter and obtain the design parameters such as sample size and acceptance number. These plans are obtained under the consumer’s risk and the producer’s risk simultaneous...
