This study examined a specific category of healthcare professionals’ prudent access control behavior using a model that integrates the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and the Health Belief Model (HBM). Two additional variables information security awareness and perceived information security responsibility were incorporated into the model. This was a behavioral information security study, whic...

Brightness induction refers to the finding that the apparent brightness of a stimulus changes when surrounded by a black versus a white stimulus. In the current study, we investigated the effects of black/white surrounding stimuli on settings made between red and green stimuli on three different tasks: heterochromatic brightness matching (HBM), heterochromatic flicker photometry (HFP), and mini...

FPGA has been an emerging computing infrastructure in datacenters benefiting from fine-grained parallelism, energy efficiency, and reconfigurability. Meanwhile, graph processing attracted tremendous interest data analytics, its performance is increasing demand with the rapid growth of data. Many works have proposed to tackle challenges designing efficient FPGA-based accelerators for processing....

BACKGROUND Women's beliefs and representations of breast cancer (BC) and breast screening (BS) are salient predictors for BS practices. This study utilized the health belief model (HBM) and common-sense model (CSM) of illness self-regulation to explore factors associated with BS uptake in Malta and subsequently, to identify the most important predictors to first screening uptake. METHODS This...

In recent times, numerical approximation of 3rd-order boundary value problems (BVPs) has attracted great attention due to its wide applications in solving arising from sciences and engineering. Hence, A higher-order block method is constructed for the direct solution linear non-linear BVPs. The approach interpolation collocation adopted derivation. Power series approximate interpolated at point...

Background: Research conducted on oil region workers has shown that numerous ranges of physical stressors together with behavioral patterns can affect the enhancement cardiovascular disease (CVD). The aim this study was to investigate effects educational intervention promote preventive behaviors CVD using Health Belief Model (HBM). Methods: participant quasi-experimental included 228 (114 contr...

The long-term objective of this research project is to characterize multi-pollutant (arsenic, lead, cadmium, and chromium) human exposures by linking sources to biomarkers using a multi-scale (individual level, county level) hierarchical Bayesian model (HBM) that describes how multi-media pathways contribute to direct routes of exposure. Our approach is to use a statistical model that has expli...

BACKGROUND Breast cancer has been considered as a major health problem in females, because of its high incidence in recent years. Due to the role of breast self-examination (BSE) in early diagnosis and prevention of morbidity and mortality rate of breast cancer, promoting student knowledge, capabilities and attitude are required in this regard. This study was conducted to evaluation BSE educati...
