This study investigates assistant nurses’ views on and needs for orientation to care robot use in three European countries. The of robots is gradually being incorporated into welfare services. Orientation (in short, introduction the technology) has thus become a key issue A survey was sent nurses Finland, Germany, Sweden, which 302 participants responded (Finland n = 117; Germany 73; Sweden 112...

Recent developments in the technology of van der Waals heterostructures made from two-dimensional atomic crystals have already led to the observation of new physical phenomena, such as the metal-insulator transition and Coulomb drag, and to the realization of functional devices, such as tunnel diodes, tunnel transistors and photovoltaic sensors. An unprecedented degree of control of the electro...

In this paper, I will have a look at the interference of ethical reflection and the provisional and perhaps futuristic nature of its subject in such recent questions like human enhancement at the interface between society, technology, and ethics. This interface brings up more complex challenges to adequately dealing with normative and epistemic aspects of providing orientation. Taking the progr...

Combining international business (IB) research with the knowledge based view, this paper examines factors affecting the export propensity and export performance of high-technology SMEs in an emerging economy. Using a unique, hand-collected dataset of 711 SMEs from Zhongguancun Science Park in China, it argues that export orientation and performance depend not only on the development of capabili...

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of market orientation on service innovation in Jordanian Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Sector. Customer orientation, competitor orientation, interfunctional coordination, intelligence generation, intelligence dissemination, and intelligence responsiveness were the components of market orientation in this study. The pop...

One of the emerging research areas in the strategic orientation is how to transfer different orientations from the commercial sector to the non-profit sector. Therefore, the objective of this study is to determine the mediating effect of Learning Orientation on the Market Orientation, Social Entrepreneurial Orientation, and Organizational Performance in the non-profit sector. The data from more...

for a graph g, let d(g) be the set of all strong orientations of g. the orientationnumber of g is min {d(d) |d belongs to d(g)}, where d(d) denotes the diameterof the digraph d. in this paper, we determine the orientation number for some subgraphs of complete bipartite graphs.

The shear-induced molecular orientation of a nematic liquid crystal, 5CB (4-pentyl-4′-cyanobiphenyl) was studied in a newly-developed apparatus in which the liquid crystal was confined between optical windows at a film thickness that is continuously variable. The molecular orientation was measured in situ during shear in the presence and absence of DC electrical bias between the two surfaces. I...
