Nurses serve as leaders in disaster preparedness and response at multiple levels: within their own homes and neighborhoods, at disaster scenes, and the workplace, which can vary from a health care facility, in the community, or at the state, national, or international level. This chapter provides an overview on theories of leadership with a historical context for nursing leadership; setting the...

ALICEROBBIN ABSTRACT THISARTICLE EXAMINES SELECTED ECONOMIC and social indicators of our multiracial and multiethnic society at the end of the twentieth century to provide an information base for wise decisions about effective library services. The statistical profile describes the demography, economic well-being , and educational attainment of the principal racial and Hispanic origin groups. T...

in this paper, we present algebroids and crossed modules of algebroids. we also define pullbackcrossed module of algebroids.

In this note first we define a BCK‐algebra on the states of a deterministic finite automaton. Then we show that it is a BCK‐algebra with condition (S) and also it is a positive implicative BCK‐algebra. Then we find some quotient BCK‐algebras of it. After that we introduce a hyper BCK‐algebra on the set of all equivalence classes of an equivalence relation on the states of a deterministic finite...

Most of controlling disaster managements focus on how to rescue people from disaster areas. In this paper, we propose an emergency escape system that helps people escape by themselves effectively from a disaster area in which each person owns a mobile device. We define a scenario for the proposed system in which there are five system states; they are Idle, Discovery, Subscription/Publication, E...

It is well known fact that binary relations are generalized mathematical functions. Contrary to functions from domain to range, binary relations may assign to each element of domain two or more elements of range. Some basic operations on functions such as the inverse and composition are applicable to binary relations as well. Depending on the domain or range or both are fuzzy value fuzzy set, i...

In this paper, we define the notion of a bipolar general fuzzy automaton, then we construct some closure operators on the set of states of a bipolar general fuzzy automaton. Also, we construct some topologies on the set of states of a bipolar general fuzzy automaton. Then we obtain some relationships between them.
