The current research aim to identify Metamemory among students of the fourth scientific grade The research has been limited to students of the fourth scientific grade in secondary and Preparatory schools in the center of Al-Qadisiyah Governorate for the academic year (2020-2021), and the descriptive survey approach was adopted, and the sample size amounted to (400) male and female students who were chosen randomly. To achieve the objectives of the research, the tow researchers prepared research tool represented by a measure of Metamemory, which in its final form consisted of (36) items, with (19) paragraphs of positive wording and (17) paragraphs of negative wording, according to the definition (Troyer & Rich, 2002) who classified Metamemory into three dimensions: satisfaction with memory, ability or memory errors and remembering strategies. And has been verified the apparent validity, content and constructive validity of the scale, the calculation of discrimination coefficients for the items of the scale, and checking the scale's stability through out the calculation of the Cronbach's alpha coefficient, which amounted to (0.919). The research tool were applied in the first semester of the year (2020-2021), and statistical analysis and data processing were carried out using the Statistical Portfolio for Social Sciences (SPSS) program.

The reliability of the test was also verified by finding the Cronbach's alpha coefficient, which reached (0.896). The research tool were applied in the first semester of the year (2020-2021), and statistical analysis and data processing were carried out using Microsoft Excel and the Statistical Portfolio for Social Sciences (SPSS) program. By applying the T-test equation for one sample to the data obtained from the final application of the research tool, it was concluded that the fourth-grade science students possess a low level of deep understanding of biology.

Nurses working in palliative care are at risk of burnout. The Copenhagen Burnout Inventory was used to determine burnout levels of nurses working in the Portuguese national network of palliative care. We evaluated the contribution of personal, work, and COVID-19 variables in three burnout subclasses: personal, work, and patient-related. A cross-sectional, exploratory, and quantitative design was employed and participants were sampled using convenience and snowball technique. An online survey was conducted and 153 nurses participated in our study. Socio-demographic characterization was conducted, levels of burnout and determinants were explored through multiple linear regression models for its three dimensions. High levels of personal, working, and patient burnout were present in 71 (46%), 68 (44%), and 33 nurses (22%), respectively. Most of them agreed that COVID-19 had an impact on their activities. Significant personal and work related burnout factors found were specialization in palliative care, self-perceived health status, unit type, weekly hours of work, and allocation to COVID-19 units. Gender was found to be a significant factor in patient-related burnout. There is a high level of burnout among nurses working in the Portuguese national network of palliative care. Measures for identification and mitigation of burnout are necessary to protect health care professionals.

This research paper explores the possibilities for virtual reality (VR) documentation of media art installations. Based on an analysis of the characteristics of media art, and a survey of current documentation strategies, this paper investigates the viability of three-dimensional documentation. Four cross-disciplinary case studies are presented and analysed to demonstrate that VR documentation provides an immersive and richer reconstruction of a media art installation in three dimensions. In addition, the interactive components can be simulated within the VR environment, offering the possibility for curators and visitors to virtually re-experience the artwork. The case studies show that, although the creation of VR documentation can be costly and time-consuming, and currently requires a high-level of expertise, it can be a useful addition to established documentation strategies by providing essential information about the visual aspects of the artwork, its environment and the user’s multi-sensory experience.
