...THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK Nonis and Hudson (2006) note that the Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA’s Graduate School of Education has found that since 1987 the time students spend studying outside of class has declined each year, with only 47% spending six or more hours per week studying outside of class compared with 34% in 2003. Nonis and Hudson (2006) identify a need for empirical research to determine the impact of student work on academic performance, and its impact on the design of academic programs. Their study found a lack of evidence for a direct relationship between times spent working and academic performance. Sullaiman and Mohezar conducted a study at the University of Malaya in their MBA program. They found conflicting evidence of the impact of work experience on student academic performance. They note studies by McClure, Wells and Bowerman (1986), Schellhardt (1988) and Dreher and Ryan (2000) finding a positive relationship between work experience and academic performance, but studies by Dreher and Ryan (2000, 2002 and 2004) Dugan et al. (2006) and Graham (2001) and Peiperl and Trevelyan (1997) found no relationship between students working and their grade point average. Sullaiman and Mohezar’s study found that work experience is not related to MBA performance. De Zoysa and Rudkin (2007) undertook a pilot study examining the relationship between academic performance and student socio-economic circumstances, which did not find a direct significant...

...Theoretical framework The researchers used Richard E. Mayer’s cognitive theory of multimedia learning that is based on three main assumptions: there are two separate channels (auditory and visual) for processing information; there is limited channel capacity; and that learning is an active process of filtering, selecting, organizing, and integrating information. (Retrieved from: www.learning-theories.com/cognitive-theory-of-multimedia-learning-mayer.html) Cognitive theory of multimedia learning contends that words and pictures presented to the learner via a multimedia presentation are processed along two separate, non-conflicting channels. They enter the sensory memory through the ears and eyes. Words and images are actively selected by the learner from the sensory memory and enter the working memory where they are organized into a verbal model and a pictorial model. Each channel can process only a few “chunks” of information at a given time in working memory. The two models are then integrated with prior knowledge retrieved from long-term memory. This integration occurs within the working memory following each segmented portion of instruction offered to the learner in the multimedia presentation. (Retrieved from: www.etec.ctlt.ubc.ca/510wiki/Cognitive_Theory_of_Multimedia_Learning) The multimedia principle states that “people learn more deeply from words and pictures than from words alone” (Mayer; 1998). However, simply adding words to pictures is not an effective way to achieve...

...1.4 Theoretical Framework According to this study, the theoretical framework is based on the concept of self-efficacy developed from social cognitive theory by Bandura (1977). Most of the researchers in education and psychology applied the concept of teacher’s sense of self-efficacy from this theoretical framework. Bandura (1997: p. 3) explains that self-efficacy beliefs as “beliefs in one’s capabilities to organize and execute the courses of action required to produce given attainments”. Furthermore, sense of self-efficacy has closely related to self-perception of proficiency instead of factual degree of proficiency (Bandura, 1997). In generally, individuals are commonly overestimated or underestimated their factual abilities and these estimations...

...Theoretical Framework of Compassion Fatigue September 11, 2014 Theoretical Framework of Compassion Fatigue Compassion fatigue, which is also known, as secondary traumatic stress is a natural effect that occurs as a result of taking care of patients who are in pain, stressed, suffering, or traumatized. Compassion fatigue commonly affects nurses who show extreme empathy for patients and their relatives. Empathy is the act of putting oneself in another person’s situation or understanding one's feelings (Walker & Alligood, 2001). It has always been a nurse’s role to show empathy to patients and their relatives. In the process of sympathizing and empathizing, nurses can easily develop compassion fatigue. Compassion fatigue affects nurses physically, psychologically, and spiritually in addition to affecting their daily duties. Nurses may intentionally stop working with certain patients or reduce their empathy for patients, and others may have repetitive call-ins to avoid working specific patient populations. These adverse effects can easily lower hospital or institution productivity. Therefore, it is advisable for nurses to be encouraged to seek advice and counseling from counselors, mentors, psychologists, and other responsible persons. It is also necessary for nurses to be aware of the symptoms of compassion fatigue to facilitate taking preventative measures as early as possible. The compassion fatigue theory is connected to the relationship between the patient and the...

I now scrub and circulate neurology, urology, ENT (ear, nose and throat), and plastic surgeries. I am also a charge nurse and in charge of orienting new nurses and graduate nurses. The OR is fast paced and challenging. One never knows what is going to come through the doors, but you have to be ready at any given moment, to do anything from removing tonsils to clipping an aneurysm, in a matter of minutes. In the OR, often times the team gets caught up in tasks that need to be performed to get the case going, and sometimes forget that a human being is lying on the table with both physical and emotional needs. That is why, I teach my new graduates and everyone that I precept to act like it is a member of their family lying on the table. Often times just a friendly word or a smile before the patient is put under anesthesia can make a world of difference. If there is time, I also update the family to what is going on in the OR and try to answer any questions...

...1) Neo Liberal Institutionalism The United States as well as the EU are major international actors. The organizations involved in the TTIP view it more or less as an arena for discussion where the objective is to influence each other. In this vision each party allows for the state representative to exchange representation but in the long term the aim is to create a certain sense of trust. The interaction is built on trust, preferences as well as interest. 2) Constructivism Based on Audie Klotz book “Strategies for Research: In Constructivist International Relations”, I will also be using constructivist theoretical framework. Constructivism claims that history and sociology are contingent. The discussion of the TTIP, the socio-economic context framing it, will cover the decision making process in DC and within the EU states. The 6 variables I will consider are: I. Meaning (System) II.

...Florence Nightingale Theoretical Framework Katherine Perona and Ashley Schultz Grand Canyon University Theoretical Foundations of Practice NUR 513 Sandra Wheeler November 04, 2014 Florence Nightingale Theoretical Framework Florence Nightingale is well known as the mother of modern nursing. She drew upon her many experiences as a battlefield nurse during the Crimean war to develop what was widely accepted as the first nursing theory. She viewed the manipulation of a patient’s environment as having a large impact on a patient’s health and well-being. She believed a nurse must be adapted to fit the needs of each different patient. According to Nightingale, the role of the nurse is to “put the patient in the best possible condition in order for nature to act” ("nursing theory," 2013, para. 5). What eventually became known as Florence Nightingale’s environment theory identified ten major concepts which a nurse must address in order to achieve holistic care. These factors include ventilation and warming, light and noise, cleanliness of the area, health of houses, bedding, personal cleanliness, variety, offering hope and advice, food, and observation ("nursing theory," 2013). Nightingale observed that unsanitary environments contribute to poor health and surmised that in the effort of improving patient condition, the environment can be altered to promote optimal health. In her theory, she is not simply speaking about the physical environment but also the psychological environment...

Elements of a Theoretical Framework for Public Sector Accounting............................................................ 1 16 September 2014 ii ProQuest 第 1 个文档，共 1 个 Elements of a Theoretical Framework for Public Sector Accounting ProQuest 文档链接 摘要: The development of a concept of community assets (used to describe government-managed assets of an infrastructural, cultural, or environmental nature) can contribute to the development of a new theoretical framework for public sector accounting and potentially for private sector accounting as well. An important feature of this framework is that recognition of assets based on common property alongside private property lends greater visibility to the communitarian perspective, with its emphasis on shared values and common life, and to social as well as technical concerns. In addition, by distinguishing what management can control from what they cannot control, a concept of community assets as distinct from ordinary fixed assets could permit a fairer system of accountability and clarify the controversial issues of depreciation in the public sector. 链接: Check local library holdings 全文文献: Despite the ancient origins of governmental...

Bernido and l\faria Victoria Carpio-.Rernido Research Center for Theoretical Physics Central Visayan Institute Foundation Jagna, Bohol 6308, Philippines The Ascending Levels of Learning and Pedagogical ~1axims that could guide effective teaching of physics are presented. As an example of how these may be applied, the Dynamic Learning Prof:,lfam (DLP) of the Central Visayan Institute Foundation is briefly discussed. The DLP, together with 21st century technology, provides a scenario where the perennial lack of high school physics teachers in the Philippines can be bypassed. Introduction The breadth of topics that may be covered in teaching physics can be extremely wide. After all, physics probes the smallest things in the universe (the quarks and leptons), aiJ the way up to the "biggest" subject one can think of-the birth, death, and fate of the universe itself. One definition for physics states that it is the study of matter and energy. Most everything in the universe is either matter or energy, and this can make physics quite interdisciplinary. No wonder, therefore, that sub-areas in physics may be referred to as Biophysics, Geophysics~ Chemical Physics, Mathematical Physics, Astrophysics, Nuclear Physics, Econophysics, etc., and one also has the physics of sports, the physics of art, and so on. Because of its breadth, there is always...

...a woman and a Jew, she was paid a minimal amount of money and was not given the status of a professor. In 1929, Emmy Noether was welcomed to the University of Moscow as a guest lecturer. She was a member of the Göttingen University mathematics department until 1933. This was when the Nazis took over and she was unable to continue teaching in Germany. In 1933, Noether moved to the United States and continued her teachings at Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania as a guest professor. Here, she was paid a full salary and accepted as a proper part of the staff. In the U.S., she also taught at the Institute of Advanced Study at Princeton. Noether published many papers while working at the University of Erlangen. She also began her research on theoretical algebra and teamed with Felix Klein and David Hilbert working on Einstein’s theory of relativity. In 1907-1919, Noether concentrated on the field of algebraic invariant theory, the Galois Theory, and Physics. She proved two theorems of particle physics and general relativity. ‘Noether’s Theorem’ is one of the most significant contributions to the development of modern physics. In 1920-1926, she devoted her time to the theory of mathematical rings. She developed an abstract and conceptual way to approach algebra. This resulted in principles that unify topology, logic, geometry, algebra, and liner algebra. Noether’s works were a breakthrough in abstract algebra. Her studies on chain conditions and ideals of commutative rings were honored...

...is when Planck first got an interest in physics and learned the principle of conservation of energy. He began the studies in 1874 at the University of Munich and studied theoretical physics. After he graduated, he taught math and physics briefly. Planck completed his habilitation thesis and began lecturing in Munich without getting paid becuase he was waiting to be offered a new postion. He also furthered his work on the field of heat theory. Planck then became a professor at Berlin University and joined the Physical Society. As far as Plancks home life goes, he married and had four children. He was friends with theologian Adolf con Harnack and his home soon because a social center. Famous scientists like Albert Einstein and Otto Hahn all frequently visited. His wife died and he remaired and had his third son. Planck's two sons and two daughters all died. By the end of the 1920s, Bohr, Heisenberg, and Pauli had worked out the interpretation of quantum mechanics, but Planck rejected it. He expected that wave mechanics would render the quantum theory, even though this can not be the case. Further work only cemented quantum theory, even against Einstein's revulsions. He originated quantum theory, which won him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918. Max Planck made many contributions to theoretical physics, and is very famous for being the originator of quantum theory. He ended his life at Göttingen on October 4, 1947, but he has contributed so much for the...

Nonlinear Modelling Application in Distillation Column Zalizawati Abdullah, Norashid Aziz, and Zainal Ahmad Abstract Distillation columns are widely used in chemical processes and exhibit nonlinear dynamic behavior. In order to gain optimum performance of the distillation column, an effective control strategy is needed. In recent years, model based control strategies such as internal model control (IMC) and model predictive control (MPC) have been revealed as better control systems compared to the conventional method. But one of the major challenges in developing this effective control strategy is to construct a model which is utilized to describe the process under consideration. The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of the models that have been implemented in continuous distillation columns. These models are categorized under three major groups: fundamental...
