OBJECTIVE The research assessed nursing faculty awareness and knowledge of the journal impact factor (JIF) and its impact on their publication choices. METHODS A qualitative cross-sectional questionnaire was developed using Fluid Survey and distributed electronically to nursing faculty and instructors at three post-secondary institutions in Saskatchewan. Data were collected on place and statu...

Ninety-six high school students participated in a study investigating the immediate and delayed effects of forewarning of persuasive intent. It was predicted that subjects would change less immediately after reading persuasive communications because the forewarning would serve as a discounting cue, but that over time, they would tend to forget or dissociate this cue, thus allowing the full impa...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Coal exploitation technology could have affected the deformation of ground under a housing estate in the Upper Silesia agglomeration. The 10-storey apartment building began to deviate from the vertical. These factors affected the housing conditions of inhabitants in the block of flats. From 1991-2001, coal-mine surveyors monitored the vertical deviation. The inhabita...

OBJECTIVE To compare two methods of developing short forms of the Malaysian Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-M) measure. METHOD Cross sectional data obtained using the long form of the OHIP-M was used to produce two types of OHIP-M short forms, derived using two different methods; namely regression and item frequency methods. The short version derived using a regression method is known as Reg...

We review the application of the time-dependent close-coupling method to calculate energy and angle differential cross sections for the electron-impact ionization of atoms and molecules. PACS Numbers: 34.80.Dp, 34.80.Gs.

Health impact assessment (HIA) is an approach that has experienced increased activity and wide support within England. This is reflected in the large number of HIAs being undertaken at local and regional levels, by the advocacy of HIA in many national policy documents, and by the setting up of specialized HIA posts and centres.
