Background: Critical thinking skills are one of the most important competencies in successful clinical performance of nursing students. Emotional intelligence is also one of the concepts related to critical thinking and can play an important role in the ability to think. Thus, this study was conducted to investigate the relationship between emotional intelligence and critical thinking in nu...

One of the projects currently being undertaken by PT. XYZ is Dam “X”. Based on project management data obtained from XYZ, actual construction process experienced a significant delay planned schedule, with duration approximately 30 days. The will have an impact final completion project, including delivering results to consumers. purpose this study determine critical path in implementation and id...

The effect of bulk dissipation on non critical sandpile models is studied using both multifractal and finite size scaling analyses. We show numerically that the local limited (LL) model exhibits a crossover from multifractal to self-similar behavior as the control parameters h ext and ǫ turn towards their critical values, i.e. h ext → 0 + and ǫ → ǫ c. The critical exponents are not universal an...

Testing remains a fundamentally important way to check that a software program behaves as required, but a weakness of testing is that successful testing only leads to informal quality statements. Even where quantitative methods are employed, it is not clear how the objective statements (e.g. 100% code coverage has been achieved) relate to the statements that are really useful such as “the softw...

Obesity, a social problem worldwide, is characterized by an increase in body weight that results in excessive fat accumulation. Obesity is a major cause of morbidity and mortality and leads to several diseases, including metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular, fatty liver diseases, and cancer. Growing evidence allows us to understand the critical role of adipose tissue in control...

Halpern (1998) proposed a four-component model for promoting the transfer of critical thinking. One of them, the "structural component," focuses on how to organize teaching so that critical thinking skills can be generalized. Here, we assess the efficiency of that type of organization. Thus, one group of university students received instruction following the suggestions specified in that compon...

I n September 2015, under the leadership of United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, the international community took a huge step forward for people, the planet, and prosperity with the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) pave a brave path towards a world of equity and inclusion, health, including sexual and reproductive heal...

We consider a special case of the -component cubic model on the square lattice, for which an expansion exists in Ising-type graphs. We construct a transfer matrix and perform a finite-size-scaling analysis to determine the critical points for several values of . Furthermore we determine several universal quantities, including three critical exponents. For , these results agree well with the the...

Diagnostic notes are not peer reviewed ince the development of the indirect-fluorescent antibody (IFA) test in 1992, serologic profiling has been extremely valuable in improving the understanding of PRRS virus (PRRSV) patterns of transmission within infected farms. The IFA test detects IgG antibodies and indicates infection, not protection. IFA titers are initially detected 7–10 days post-infec...
