AIM: This paper is a report of the development and testing of the psychometric properties of an instrument to measure the accuracy of nursing documentation in general hospitals. BACKGROUND: Little information is available about the accuracy of nursing documentation. None of the existing instruments that …

During the medieval and early modern periods, the mock sermon was one of the most widely staged festive rituals. There are records of its performance in most European countries and cultures.

This report explores the yachting sector of SXM, which to this day does not receive enough government attention and is not given the recognition that it deserves as a lucrative sector of the economy (Johnson, 2010). Therefore, the decision to research this topic came as a result of the Tourism Bureau's …

Phylogenetic patterns show the presence or absence of certain genes in a set of full genomes derived from different species. They can also be used to determine sets of genes that occur only in certain evolutionary branches. Previously, we presented a database named PhyloPat which allows the complete …

Meetings with other professionals are considered crucial for enhancing the quality of teachers' reflections. However, little is yet known about how any beneficial effects of such meetings are brought about. This study explores the peer coach's roles and their influences on the learning processes of their …

Several models in data analysis are estimated by minimizing the objective function defined as the residual sum of squares between the model and the data. A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a least squares estimator is that the objective function attains its infimum at a unique …

The analysis of regulatory regions in genome sequences is strongly based on the detection of potential transcription factor binding sites. The preferred models for representation of transcription factor binding specificity have been termed position-specific scoring matrices. JASPAR is an open-access …
