Introduction: Spirituality at work describes employees whose job is satisfying, meaningful and purposeful. Spirituality at work would be accompanied with a meaningful life and job and a high-quality work-life for employees. This study tries to analyze the effect of nurses’ spiritual leadership components on their work-life quality. Methods: This paper is a descriptive cross-sectional stud...

The joints between segmental rings can withstand a certain amount of bending moment as well as axial and shear forces. Generally, in the structural analysis of tunnel segmental lining, the joints can be modeled as elastic hinges or rotational springs, and their rigidity should be demonstrated in terms of the rigidity of the joints or their rotational stiffness. Therefore, the bending moment act...

In this paper we consider the relation between symmetries and first integrals for both continuous canonical Hamiltonian equations and discrete Hamiltonian equations. We observe that canonical Hamiltonian equations can be obtained by variational principle from an action functional and consider invariance properties of this functional as it is done in Lagrangian formalism. We rewrite the well–kno...

This paper develops asymptotically pivotal structural change tests in simultaneous equations with weakly identified parameters. In former literature, Caner (2007) proposes boundedly pivotal structural change tests when there are weakly identified parameters. The tests developed in this article are new, and benefit from reparameterizing the model. This results in asymptotically pivotal tests. Si...

The concept of (structural) consistency also called structural solvability is an important basic tool for analyzing the structure of systems of equations. Our aim is to provide a sound and practically relevant meaning to this concept. The implications of consistency are expressed in terms of explicit density and stability results. We also illustrate, by typical examples, the limitations of the ...
