Structural Aspects

Caring is a complex and multidimensional concept. The quality of interaction in patient care encounters is affected by philosophical beliefs that shape practice design, delivery, and structural aspects of the practice environment. Florida Atlantic University’s Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing operates two nurse-managed centers that address diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease care; these play a critical role in the reduction of cost of care. In this article, we demonstrate the impact of following a caring philosophy in our centers through intersubjective, interobjective, interior and exterior individual, and collective measures. A philosophy of caring in action allows these centers to become places where the beauty and mystery of the human life experience is lived, studied, and researched.

Reliability And Availability

In the paper, we propose an allocation scheme that minimizes the response time and cost of the solution subject to reliability and availability constraints in terms of expected value. The algorithm proposed in this paper aims to discover services with high QoS performance, and reduce the execute time at the same time. First, we identify the impact of various structural aspects of the composition in terms of the performance and outcomes of the composition. Then, an algorithm is proposed which can reduce the computing time and makes sure better quality of the services selection at the same time by examining a very tiny fraction of the solution space.Finally, we proves the advantage of the new algorithm by comparing the time obtained by our proposed algorithm with the one achieved by other algorithm.

Immersive Technologies

The permeability of all spheres of both economic activity and human life with digital technologies encourages the search for new marketing ideas necessary for the implementation of the product (goods, works and services).  Today's consumer has become more demanding both to the product itself and to the ways of presenting it.  Immersive technologies are becoming one of the tools that contribute to the formation of competitive advantages, especially the organization of business in the field of entertainment, as one of the areas of additional income in the field of hotel and restaurant services and marketing activities of enterprises.  Digital transformation leads to the search for new initiatives that will be a tool to meet customer needs and a way to reach wider market segments.  The process of digitalization must first be integrated into the economy of the whole state and the enterprise as a whole, and in all processes of production of goods, works and services.  Digital-transformation of domestic enterprises will help to obtain additional competitive advantages both in the domestic market and in the international market.  The formation of competitive advantages is associated not only with the maximum involvement of digital technologies in business.  It is important to choose such technologies that will be most effective in the implementation of a particular type of enterprise, under certain conditions and in a particular environment. The expediency of using immersive technologies as a marketing tool is undeniable.  However, in addition to tools, immersive technologies are important as a means of education, a separate milestone in the field of entertainment, a means of psychological influence and more.  That is, the impact of this tool on the level of competitiveness of the enterprise in the environment of the demanding consumer is manifested: in the form of reducing the cost of attracting the client; active covert promotion through their use; improving the quality of the presented product (goods, works, services); ensuring the elasticity of the enterprise to the needs and requirements of consumers; the transition of the enterprise to an innovative type of development and active digitalization.

The Impact

Atherosclerosis is a chronic arterial disease responsible for the majority of vascular-related deaths throughout the world. Immune cells and inflammation in conjunction with hyperlipidemia play a key role in atherosclerosis development. Regarding the low efficacy of the synthetic drugs and also the associated negative side effects which can adversely influence health-related quality of life, looking for natural, affordable and non-toxic substances seem necessary. Plant-derived natural products play a critical role in the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis. In this review, we aimed to outline the most important medicinal herbs effective for atherosclerosis through the impact on immune system.

Ageing Phenomenon

The population of the elderly is growing rapidly and become a major concern in twentieth- century. The impact of this global ageing phenomenon is significant to the human life in all aspect including social, political and economic of all social class. The implementation of ICT application can help to cope with this phenomenon and improve the quality of life of the elderly. This study aims to perform a bibliometric analysis on the field of ageing and ICT to reveal the trend of research and technologies related in the recent years. Bibliometric information such as keywords and number of publication is extracted from the search result of online publication databases and then further analyzed using computational technique such as growth rate analysis and Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) to identify the relationship and the growth of the information extracted. The outcome is a set of terms that are grouped and ranked according to their relevance and growth in the recent year. This result can then provide a brief understanding on the trend of ageing and ICT for the researchers that wish to research on this field.

The Impact

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe the possible impact of normalisation on the perceptions of quality of life (QoL) and the impact of this association on the research to date. This commentary reflects on the implications of limiting QoL research to autistic people who are perceived to be “more able”. Design/methodology/approach This commentary discusses the implications of undertaking QoL research in the field of autism. Findings This commentary argues for further consideration of the autistic voice in QoL research. Researcher epistemology and life experience, including experience of autistic people, is examined in terms of how QoL might be perceived and attributed. Further participatory research in the field of quality of life of autistic people, including those with a learning disability and engagement with a variety of autistic people, is called for. Originality/value This commentary suggests that the existing definitions of QoL, founded on principles of normalisation, may not be completely applicable to autistic people, and that new ways of both defining and measuring QoL might be needed.

We are all aware of environmental benefits of trees. They provide shelter and food for animals, purify the air of pollution and regulate the temperature.Trees play a critical role in the quality of human life as well as the environmental well-being of our communities. Quran also has numerous passages that describe the lush gardens and trees. Allah created trees, plants and fruits not only for their known vital benefits as food, they are also a source of delight to eyes.During battle , Muslims are required to avoid cutting down trees.Hadith from Prophet Muhammad that relate the importance of trees and plants in islam.Islam Not only hands over the list of do’s and don’ts but also convince mankind with wisdom.Even a man of ordinary prudence can understand easily from Hadith that Hazrat Muhammad ﷺnot only instructed us to plant trees but also the most significant aspect. He gave us vision to save the environment 14 centuries ago. He has connected the plantation with social responsibility and piousness. Trees can control the temperature cool the environment absorb carbon dioxide and clean the air act as natural air conditioner, control noise, prevent soil erosion etc. Such key environmental benefits are also proven by science. Holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ gave us vision so if we conduct according to that vision, environment problems can be controlled easily.
