The effect of motivational interviewing on the moral sensitivity of nurses working in intensive care units.

Background: Moral sensitivity is the ability to identify a moral challenge and is the first step in moral decision-making and professional behavior. Objective: It is therefore necessary to examine the level of moral sensitivity in nursing and find interventions for its promotion. Methods: This two-stage pretest-posttest empirical study was conducted on 70 nurses working in Special Care Units (SCUs). The samples were recruited from SCUs including emergency departments, ICUs and CCUs and the share of each department was determined based on quota sampling. The samples were then randomly and regularly assigned to control and experimental groups based on the inclusion criteria. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and the Modified Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire before, immediately after and one month after the intervention and were then analyzed in SPSS-20 software. Results: The mean score of the nurses' moral sensitivity in SCUs was 84.7 ± 6.51 before the intervention in both groups, which is considered good. The mean score of moral sensitivity did not change immediately after the intervention compared to before, but according to the repeated measures ANOVA, there was a significant difference in the mean score of moral sensitivity in the nurses working at SCUs one month after the intervention compared to before. The moral sensitivity score ultimately increased to 92.62 ± 6.28 in the last follow-up. Conclusion: Motivational interviewing is a practical technique that can enhance nurses’ moral sensitivity by altering their mental insight as a key factor in overcoming the fundamental challenges of the healthcare system.
ENUMERATION AND PRACTICAL INVESTIGATIONS OF EPCs IN NF3-INDUCED NEOVASCULARIZATION OF DIABETIC FOOT ULCER

:The study focus on the expansion, bond, directional movement, and cylinder arrangement were the vital strides in angiogenesis and vasculogenesis. These in vitro useful measures could be measured for the assessment of the angiogenic capacity of forerunners and ECs. Movement trans well showed the chemotactic conduct of antecedents and ECs in light of chemoattractant. With the upside of transwell embed. BM-inferred early EPCs and LOG EPCs were tried for their cylinder arrangement capacity. BM-determined early EPCs were not able to structure rounded structure (information not being appeared), while the mind-boggling and empty cylindrical structure was seen in BM-inferred LOG EPCs with NF3 treatment in the practical measure. We further affirmed the current collaborations of EPCs and develop ECs under the impact of NF3. The examination of EPCs in diabetic injury recuperating with TCM mediation may open up another period in EPCs formative science. Traditional treatment in diabetic injuries in conjugation with TCM organization may offer an open door for redressing EPCs shortages and in the end, created practical clinical treatments in the avoidance of appendage removal and advancement of twisted recuperating in diabetic patients.
THE EFFECTS OF LARGE INSTITUTIONAL OWNERSHIP AND OUTSIDE DIRECTORS ON CORPORATE SOCIAL PERFORMANCE:

Firms’ corporate social performance has gained enormous attention from corporate governance scholars. However, empirical researches have shown a lot of contradictory results. This paper analyses the impact of large institutional ownership and outside directors on firms’ CSP along with the moderating effect of the owner-CEO power in terms of ownership. The study attempts to explore the effects of large institutional ownership on CSP by arguing that the large extent of shareholdings indicates the abilities and incentives of institutional investors to encourage firms to invest more in CSP commitments. In addition, the role of outside directors on firms’ CSP is also examined by integrating agency theory and dependency theory. As the monitor of shareholders and resources provider, outside directors encourage firm to invest more in CSP. I also proposed that the influence of both governance mechanisms will be mitigate by a powerful CEO. The hypotheses are tested using a sample which consists of 194 firms in Korea. The empirical results indicated that the first two direct effects of institutional ownership and outside directors are supported. Furthermore, the results also indicated the effects of CEO power on the relationship of outside directors and firms’ CSP.
Convolutional Neural Network for Wafer Surface Defect Classification and the Detection of Unknown Defect Class

An automatic defect classification (ADC) system identifies and classifies wafer surface defects using scanning electron microscope images. By classifying defects, manufacturers can determine whether the wafer can be repaired and proceed to the next fabrication step. Current ADC systems have high defect detection performance. However, the classification power is poor. In most work sites, defect classification is performed manually using the naked eye, which is unreliable. This paper proposes an ADC method based on deep learning that automatically classifies various types of wafer surface damage. In contrast to conventional ADC methods, which apply a series of image recognition and machine learning techniques to find features for defect classification, the proposed model adopts a single convolutional neural network (CNN) model that can extract effective features for defect classification without using additional feature extraction algorithms. Moreover, the proposed method can identify defect classes not seen during training by comparing the CNN features of the unseen classes with those of the trained classes. Experiments with real datasets verified that the proposed ADC method achieves high defect classification performance.
Neural Network-Based Model Reference Adaptive System for Torque Ripple Reduction in Sensorless Poly Phase Induction Motor Drive

This paper proposes the modified, extended Kalman filter, neural network-based model reference adaptive system and the modified observer technique to estimate the speed of a five-phase induction motor for sensorless drive. The proposed method is generated to achieve reduced speed deviation and reduced torque ripple efficiently. In inclusion, the result of speed performance and torque ripple under parameter variations were analysed and compared with the conventional direct synthesis method. The speed estimation of a five-phase motor in the four methods is analysed using MATLAB Simulink platform, and the optimum method is recognized using time domain analysis. It is observed that speed error is minimized by 60% and torque ripple is reduced by 75% in the proposed method. The hardware setup is carried out for the optimized method identified.

Sensory factors for brand success

In a market, where the features and quality of many products are more or less equal, companies must overcome aesthetic, moral and emotional demands to stand out and be successful (Morsing, 2002). The visual sense has been the emphasized sense for branding and communication of identity (Lindstrom, 2005 a). Human beings, however, are creatures of five senses. Utilization of other sensory impulses than the visual may create a synergetic effect for communication of a company’s identity. It may enhance emotional engagement and loyalty between a company or brand and their interested parties (ibid). Finding or creating a distinct and evident identity is a complicated task. Several authors describe methods that can guide such a process. We suggest that systematic methods presented by e.g. Olins (2000) and Smith (1995) can be expanded, by implementing more experimental methods presented by e.g. Bernstein (1995), Dumaas (1994), Karjalainen (2001) and McGrory (2004). To explore whether and how companies may implement multiple sensory elements in their brand-building activities, we executed a case study in November and December 2005. Due to time-limitations we made a choice to restrict the scope of senses to be explored to the haptic sense, in addition to the visual. The target of the analysis was the Norwegian dairy producer TINE. To find suitable haptic qualities for the company, we carried out a workshop and further test at the Department of Product Design at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Chosen haptic specimens were subsequently implemented in what we call experimental haptic metaphors. Through tactile, kinetic and visual traits these metaphors, taking the form of clothing articles, were meant to express TINE’s identity in a new and clever way. For a company, explicit sensory metaphors may be used as means to express identity-aspects in untraditional ways. They can work as inspiration for sensory stimuli in the concrete manifestations of the company. Moreover they will provide the company with a tool for communication and exploration around identity aspects internally. A company’s identity can be split in two, an abstract and a concrete part (Parr, 2005). The abstract identity deals with the intangible elements of a company. The company-culture, its vision, fundamental values and goals are characteristics of the abstract identity (Parr, 2005). The abstract identity creates a base for the concrete manifestations of a company. These manifestations can be classified in four factors: communication, behavior, environment and product (Parr, 2005: Olins, 2000). The four factors may not have the same importance in all companies. It is helpful to decide which factor is the dominating one at an early stage in an identity-process (Olins, 2000). It is through all of these factors that a company’s identity is materialized and experienced by consumers. Consistency of communicated properties across the factors creates an impression of credibility and unity (Parr, 2005).
Broadband Permittivity Measurements up to 170-GHz Using Balanced-Type Circular-Disk Resonator Excited by 0.8-mm Coaxial Line

This paper describes the broadband permittivity measurements up to 170 GHz of plate samples by using a balanced-type circular-disk resonator (BCDR) excited by a 0.8-mm coaxial line. Because only the TM ${_{0m0}}$ modes are selectively excited in the BCDR and their resonant frequencies largely change by changing the size of the circular disk that constitutes the resonator, the BCDR method provides permittivity measurements at an almost arbitrary frequency across a wideband. We have increased the maximum measurable frequency of the BCDR method to 170 GHz by developing a BCDR excited by a 0.8-mm coaxial line and by improving the analysis method. We demonstrated that highly stable and rather simple permittivity measurements up to 170 GHz can be realized by the BCDR method by confirming that the measured complex permittivities of a low-loss material from 11.3 to 167 GHz at 59 frequency points obtained with five circular disks of different radii are consistent within the uncertainties.
Neurophysiological adaptations associated to with the cross-education of muscle strength 3 following chronic unilateral training: a systematic review and meta-analysis 4

25 This study reviewed the available evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) focusing on the 26 neurophysiological adaptations associated to with cross-education of strength (CE) and pooled data 27 into definite effect estimates for neurophysiological variables assessed in chronic CE studies. 28 Furthermore, scoping directions for future research were provided to enhance the homogeneity 29 and comparability of the studies investigating the neural responses to CE. 30 A significant 21.1±18.2% increase in contralateral strength ( p <0.0001) was detected from 22 RCTs 31 (467 subjects) that measured at least one neurophysiological variable in the untrained side. 32 Neurophysiological parameters measured were: EMG (n=14), MEP (n=8), SICI, RC and M-wave (n=6), 33 cSP (n=5), IHI, ICF and H-reflex (n=2), V-wave, SICF, SAI and LAI (n=1). Only EMG, MEP, ICF, cSP and 34 SICI entered the meta-analysis (18 studies, 387 subjects). No significant changes in EMG ( p =0.26; 35 235 subjects) and MEP amplitude ( p =0.11; 145 subjects) in the untrained limb were found. A 36 significant decrease in cSP duration ( p =0.02; 114 subjects) and SICI ( p =0.001; 95 subjects) of the 37 untrained hemisphere was detected depending on the body region, type and intensity of training. 38 No correlation between changes in CE and changes in these TMS measures was were found. The 39 paucity of data available prevented the abilitydid not allow us to draw any conclusion on the utility 40 of the remaining parameters. Based on the data available for pooling, the use of TMS to assess the ipsilateral neurophysiological 42 responses to unilateral training confirms the central neural origin hypothesis of chronic CE. However, strength literature, were searched in combination with the abovementioned keywords: electromyography (EMG); maximal wave (M-wave), Hoffmann reflex (H-reflex), volitional wave (V- wave), motor evoked potential (MEP), recruitment curve (RC), cortical silent period (cSP), short- interval intracortical facilitation (SICF), SICI, intracortical facilitation, (ICF), short-latency afferent inhibition (SAI), long-latency afferent inhibition (LAI) and IHI. 54 dynamic: SMD 0.39; n 106 n studies; 54 subjects; p 0.73; n studies;
Design Optimization of Printed Circuit Board Embedded Inductors through Genetic Algorithms with Verification by COMSOL

This paper describes the implementation of a complete design tool for design, analysis, optimization and production of PCB embedded inductors. The papers shows how the LiveLink between MATLAB and COMSOL makes it possible to combine the scripting and calculation power of MATLAB with the simulation power of COMSOL in order to get an extremely efficient tool for inductor design. The tool has been used to investigate PCB embedded spiral, solenoid and toroidal inductors. Due to the fact that the spirals are axisymmetric they can be simulated in 2D, which speeds up the simulation significantly. This is not possible for the solenoid and toroid, hence complete 3D structure has been made and simulated for these structures.
case control study of smoking and risk of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis & frontotemporal degeneration.

Introduction : Susceptibility to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is associated with smoking in some studies, but it is not clear which aspect of smoking behavior is related. Using detailed records of lifetime smoking we investigated the relationship between smoking and ALS in a UK population. Methods : In this retrospective case-control study, smoking status was collected using environmental questionnaires from people diagnosed with ALS between 2008 and 2013 and from age, sex and geographically matched controls. Categorical measures of smoking behavior were: smoking at the time of survey and smoking initiation; continuous measures were intensity (cigarettes per day), duration (years from starting to stopping or time of survey), cigarette pack years, and comprehensive smoking index (CSI), a measure of lifetime smoking. We used logistic regression to assess the risk of ALS with different combinations of smoking variables adjusted for age at survey, gender, level of education, smoking status and alcohol initiation, selecting the best model using the Akaike Information Criterion. Results : There were 388 records with full smoking history. The best-fitting model used CSI and smoking status at the time of survey. We found a weak association between current smoking and risk of ALS, OR 3.63 (95% CI 1.02 – 13.9) p value 0.05. Increase in CSI score did not increase risk of ALS: OR 0.81 (95% CI 0.58 – 1.11) p value 0.2. Conclusion : There is weak evidence of a positive effect of current smoking on the risk of ALS which does not show dose-dependence with higher levels of lifetime smoking and maybe a false positive result.
Human-Centered Design Incorporated in the Freshman Year through an Active Learning Engineering Design Lab: Best Practices, Lessons Learned, and Proposed Improvements

Engineering and design have been given new broader definitions in recent years to include terms such as client-centered, sustainability, and global from organizations like ABET and ASME [1-2]. Additionally, engineering companies seek more than just a high GPA, but rather interpersonal skills and real-world project experience. Engineering faculty at Lipscomb University recognize the present and coming changes in the field and are seeking ways to improve the curriculum to address these changes. In 2017, the faculty initiated the redesign of the freshman Introduction to Engineering lab course to include key elements of human-centered design throughout an engineering design process experience. One of the unique aspects of the redesigned course is the utilization of partnerships with the Peugeot Center and Engineering for Change to ensure these key elements were implemented properly and sufficiently supported. The long-term goal of this research is to produce a freshman engineering course for Lipscomb University that effectively prepares students for an engineering career through exposure to humanitarian projects with the aid of these partnering organizations. This redesigned course may also serve as an example for other universities that wish to introduce human-centered design and service-learning projects for improved student outcomes with respect to ABET standards. In this paper, best practices and lessons learned are presented from the first iteration of the redesigned course from fall 2017 as well as proposed improvements for the second iteration of the course for fall 2018. Preliminary data and observations from the first iteration of the course are utilized to improve for the second iteration. Highlights from the first iteration include student interactions with clients as well as an understanding of how engineering translates to improving the lives of others. Areas of improvement will involve integrating the lecture period with the lab and providing opportunities for student exposure to disciplines outside their own lab section.
Player selection procedures in team sports games

Attention is focused on the fact that talent identification, players' potential determination, selection of players for certain teams, as well as a design and application of developmental training programmes, aimed at the improvement of actual play quality, are the most important coach's duties which simultaneously determine the development of a particular sport game on a global level. Since players are the carriers of play concepts and the producers of competition achievements, their selection is a fundamental goal of professional work in sports clubs. The assumed future development of sports games will probably erase the strict differences among the basic play positions, but roles and tasks will remain crucial components of technical-tactical activities players are bound to perform when playing a particular post. Due to their obligation to take over the responsibility to play various roles in different phases of the game, the players must adopt and perfect universal technical-tactical skills and knowledge (polyvalence). Play roles are dynamic, probably growing even ever more dynamic. They depend on the momentary position of the ball, on the position of the team-mates and the opponents on the court, and on the play phase and concepts of play. In the selection of players the application of objective, scientifically founded methods is indispensable. Unfortunately, contemporary developmental level of kinesiology does not allow entirely objective exploration of players as biological, psychological and sociological entities. Therefore, it is necessary to analytically dissolve the sport potential of a player (the basic and specific anthropological characteristics) and his/her actual play quality into a series of measurable and non-measurable components.
THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF BUSINESS & MANAGEMENT Human Resource Management Practices, and Academic Performance of Secondary Schools in Machakos County, Kenya

high school and less likely to go to college. This increases high school dropouts, and substantially lower adulthood wages. Academic performance as measured by the examination results is the aggregate form in a course or GPA is one of the major goals of a school globally (Oredein, 2016). The social and economic development of a county is directly linked with student academic performance (Mushtaq& Khan 2012). Students with quality results become great leaders and manpower for the country thus responsible for country’s economic and social development. York (2015) notes that academic failure is not only frustrating to the pupils and the parents; its effects are equally grave on the society in terms of death of manpower in all spheres of the economy and politics. Abstract: Organizations worldwide primarily exist to achieve specific goals. Academic performance trend in secondary schools in Machakos County has been declining in the recent past (2013-2019) hence the need for the study. The aim of the study was to establish the influence of human resource management practices on academic performance of secondary schools in Machakos County, namely influence of teaching staff recruitment and selection and teaching staff training and development on the academic performance of secondary schools in Machakos County, Kenya. The resource-based theory, universalistic theory and the human capital theory informed this study. The study employed mixed methods research design. The target population was the 413 secondary schools in Machakos County. The school principals were selected as units of observation. The study used primary data that was collected using self-administered semi-structured questionnaires and interview schedules. The study found that human resource management practices under study namely teaching staff recruitment and selection, teaching staff training and development, positively and significantly influenced the academic performance of secondary schools in Machakos County.
