Changing the fast now society, enterprises must enable staff to study new knowledge , new technical ability fast through training , improve staff's ability , the change that should be tight day by day and severe , so, a part that enterprises handled education and training and already became enterprise's business activities. Training is a kind of method of changes and a kind of means of helping the staff to study , meet the environment fast fast, one of the advantage important methods that education and training is also organized to maintain the competition. In order to know that enterprises handle the course wholly of the education and training activity , this research adopts the law of case study (Case study ), probe into and regard a company as the research object. The collection of the materials is with file and statistical data correlating with education and training inside the case company, if education and training branch can organization the operation , education and training one system and promotion structure , the implementation way of doing thingses of education and training and can't train project of assessing etc. of, to probe into the course that the case company implement education and training. It is personal while carry out education and training actually to add a researcher, person , thing , thing observed, propose the relevant real example. Discover that the case company is training the demand , adopt subjective consciousness to draft the drill program, benefit smaller in improving staff's ability ; On not is it implement to training, course hours short, make course to be theme unable to deepen the discussion, the staff's results of learning is not good; On not is it assess to training , is it write and become a mere formality with gains to test , can't weigh the staff's study effect . Propose the way of doing things of the suggestion finally, offer enterprises to want to handle the reference of the education and training activity.

This project sets as its goal the development of an Intelligent Design paradigm that makes falsifiable predictions. According to Karl Popper, such falsifiability is a key component of scientific theories. To accomplish this, two hypothetical historical narratives are first outlined based on guided processes and the design points they predict. A biochemical approach to characterizing organisms then defines a protein's global functional limits as determining the set of amino acids that allow it to successfully perform its functions in any situation. The local functional limits restrict this potential substitution set to only those proteins viable within an individual genetic background. Proteins are referred to as the first-order of specified complexity because a protein's gene is the fundamental unit of inheritance. Other orders of specified complexity are described culminating in the organism level, which is the fundamental unit of selection. Each phylogenetic tree within the two intelligent design scenarios is founded by an original group or archetype. The descendants of this archetype are known as the archetype's genus. Speciation events within the genus are brought about by a slow process called co-adapted drift that creates distinct species through functional incompatibilities. A theory of natural selection is developed that attempts to characterize the relationship between the gene and the organism. Natural selection in this sense is described as a preservation mechanism that selects against deleterious phenotypes instead of selecting for beneficial ones. Finally, a practical methodology is developed that begins by determining the history of a gene in a given species by the symmetrical causal relationships of the alleles and the species allelic distribution. The original alleles in this species and their local functional limits are then compared with those of analogous genes in similar species to determine if these species were functionally compatible at that time. The two Intelligent Design paradigms predict patterns of incompatibilities, or design points, where guided actions were involved. This is a falsifiable prediction that raises the status of these paradigms in a Popperian sense.

Class of 2014 Abstract / Specific Aims: The purpose of this study is to quantitatively analyze the pharmacy department’s performance before and after the transition from a segmented set of information technology systems to an enterprise wide electronic health record. Methods: This prospective, observational study collected data from both the pre-implementation and post-implementation electronic systems. The enterprise wide electronic system was implemented on November 1, 2013. Medication turnaround time, missing medication requests, and profile-linked automated dispensing cabinet (ADC) override rates were measured before implementation (August and September 2013) and after implementation (November 2013 and January, February, and March 2014). This study did not use patient specific data and does not involve human subjects and therefore was exempt from Institutional Review Board review. Main Results: Average medication turnaround time in November 2013 (1243.6 seconds; 95% CI 1219.55-1267.73) was significantly slower than in September 2013 (697.71 seconds; 95% CI 685.45-709.97; p<0.001). In January 2014, there was no difference (695.45 seconds; 95% CI 678.17-712.73; p = 0.83) and February 2014 showed significant improvement (619.09 seconds; 95% CI 605.18-633.00; p<0.001). There were significantly more missing medication requests in February (19002) and March 2014 (18996) than in August 2013 (1319; p<0.001 for both). The ADC override rate was significantly higher in November 2013 (5.87%) than in August 2013 (3.98%; p<.001) and lower in February 2014 (3.16%; p<0.001). Conclusion: This study suggests that implementation of an enterprise-wide electronic health record has led to improved pharmacy order processing efficiency and allowed for increased communication between healthcare professionals, albeit with a loss of efficiency initially.

In the theoretical part of my dissertation I deal with historical development of assessing of real estates on the region of current Czech Republic with focus on assessing of family houses. In my practical part I made assessing of concrete family house. This assessing I made at first on administrative way, secondly on market way.

Introduction/Background Unplanned pregnancies among students at higher educational institutions are a major concern worldwide, including South Africa. Apart from various social and psychological problems, unplanned pregnancies affect students’ objectives of achieving academic success. Research indicated that around 80 per cent of female students are sexually active. Higher educational students between the ages of 18 and 24 have one of the highest rates of unplanned pregnancies due to the lack of contraceptive use, knowledge and awareness regarding the use of contraceptives. Purpose of the study The purpose of the study was to assess the use of contraceptives by female undergraduate students in a higher educational institution. Methodology In terms of methodology, a cross-sectional, descriptive quantitative survey was used.The survey included 400 female undergraduate students at a higher educational institution who were required to respond to a self-administrative questionnaire. Categorical data, such as race, religion, ethnic group, place of residence and marital status were compared to each group using Chi square. Multiple logic regression analysis was applied to test the models. In addition, frequency tables, bar charts and pie charts were generated for all variables, which served as an input for descriptive statistics, based on frequencies and percentages. Research findings Of the 74 per cent sexually active females, 79 per cent reported using contraceptives. The most common used methods were the oral contraceptives, 38 per cent, and male condoms, 25 per cent. The most commonly known methods were condoms, 84 per cent, and the oral contraceptive, 68 per cent. The level of knowledge of the condom use to prevent sexually transmitted diseases was very high, 91 per cent. The knowledge of the benefits of contraceptives was also high, 97 per cent. There were some misconceptions, like contraceptives cause cancer and 75 per cent indicated weight gain as a side-effect of contraceptives. The level of knowledge of the emergency contraceptive was high, 90 per cent, but the awareness that it is free of charge at the campus clinic was low, 30 per cent. The level of awareness of the services was good, 72 per cent, and the most common first source of information was the school, 65 per cent. Sixteen per cent of participants indicated that religion was a factor for non-utilisation of contraceptives. Conclusion A lack of knowledge and awareness on some contraceptives methods was found. Thus educational programmes to increase student’s knowledge on all contraceptive methods, including addressing possible side-effects, and its use, are urgently needed to increase the use of contraceptives and assisting in reducing the rate of unplanned pregnancies. / Dissertation (MSc)--University of Pretoria, 2017. / Nursing Science / MSc / Unrestricted

Childhood bullying affects over 25% of today’s youth and causes up to 160,000 missed school days per year. Bullying causes short and long term adverse effects to both mental and physical health. Many organizations encourage healthcare providers to take an active role in bullying prevention. However, there has been little research into the role of primary healthcare providers regarding childhood bullying and the effectiveness of different approaches to screening and management. Therefore the purposes of this dissertation were to a) explore childhood bullying and the role of the healthcare provider in bullying prevention, b) develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of Hensley’s Healthcare Provider’s Practices, Attitudes, Self-confidence, & Knowledge Regarding Bullying Questionnaire. Pediatric healthcare providers were asked to participate in this study if they conducted well-child exams on a weekly basis. Information on the provider’s current bullying assessment practices, attitudes, self-confidence, and knowledge regarding bullying was gathered. Results indicated that approximately one-half (46.6%, n=55) of the healthcare providers reported assessing their patients for bullying behaviors during well-child exams. The strongest predictor of positively assessing for bullying was attitudes, recording an odds ratio of 1.24. This indicated for every one-unit increase in attitudes score, the odds of assessing for bullying will be 24% higher. The odds ratio of self-efficacy or self-confidence was 1.18, indicating that for every one-unit increase in self-efficacy score, the odds of assessing for bullying will be 18% higher.

No / We describe a study conducted during 2009-12 into innovative assessment practice, evaluating an assessed coursework task on a final year Medical Genetics module for Biomedical Science undergraduates. An authentic e-assessment coursework task was developed, integrating objectively marked online questions with an online DNA sequence analysis tool (BLAST), routinely used by NHS and research professionals. The aim was to combine the assessment of understanding of complex module learning outcomes with real-world authentic skills highly valued in the work place. This approach challenges the oft-heard accusation that online computer-marked tests can lack validity and authenticity in higher education. The study demonstrates the content and construct validity of this form of e-assessment, showing that careful question design, allied with integration with the real life BLAST tool, enables instructors to assess complex higher order understanding, and requires students to demonstrate skills relevant for the work place. A study of three years of test results and measures of internal consistency data also show the reliability of this assessment. In addition, the results of surveys of student opinion and positive feedback from student module feedback questionnaires suggest that it is effective in terms of face validity.

Data from 7285 individual participants in the USDA Spring Nationwide Food Consumption Survey were analyzed using the nutrient density concept and multiple regression procedures to evaluate the impact of socioeconomic status on the nutritional quality of foods consumed. For each socioeconomic group the average daily amount of nutrients consumed per 1000 kcal of food consumed were computed and compared with the Recommended Dietary Allowances which had been converted to single-value nutrient allowances per 1000 kcal. This nutrient density approach identified qualitative patterns of food consumption for selected income, region, urbanization, household size, race, employment and education groups as well as indicating the degree to which these groups met the RDA. Results demonstrated that socioeconomic status had relatively little impact upon the average nutrient density of diets consumed by the population. Income level had no statistically significant effect upon the nutritional quality of diets for any of the fourteen nutrients studied. Household size affected nutrient density consumption of fat, carbohydrate, vitamin s6 and vitamin C. Race affected calcium, magnesium, vitamin A and thiamin density of diets. Other socioeconomic factors were significantly related to only one or two nutrients. The differences in average nutrient density of diets resulted from differences in the quality of foods consumed from the Basic Four (nutrient-dense) Plus One (calorie-dense) food groups and not from differences in the percent contribution of these two food groups to nutrient intake per 1000 kcal. Average diets for all socioeconomic groups were below nutrient density standards for calcium, iron, magnesium, vitamin B6 and carbohydrate. There was also a high frequency of individuals with vitamins A and vitamin C intakes below nutrient density standards despite adequate group mean intakes per 1000 kcal for these nutrients. Results supported the hypothesis that, regardless of socioeconomic status, Americans consume diets that average very similar nutrient content per energy unit. This type of information contributes to a better understanding of dietary habits of Americans and provides a meaningful framework from which to establish guidelines for government agencies, nutrition educators and the food industry.
