Introduction:Patient self perceived handicap inventory is an important tool for modern health care including hearing loss. The HHIA is a self reporting outcome measurement invented to verify the hearing impaired patients’ complaint and carry out for appropriate client centered rehabilitation program. To the author’s knowledge, none of the self

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of explanation on customer satisfaction in the service failure stage. It seeks to better understand the dynamics of consumer repurchase intention through a mediating effect of customer satisfaction. Design/methodology/approach – A structured questionnaire was e-mailed to collect the p

Flowsensing technology from today’s application perspective has gained significant research interest over the past few years. Among the existing sensing techniques, electrostatic and capacitive sensing techniques have proven promising although cable capacitance and stray capacitance cause inaccuracy while measuring very small capacitances. The ex

This study explored some self domains and reviewed them through Islamic perspective, more particularly self-knowledge and faith. It provided an extensive literature on particular concepts of selfstriving,self-regard, and self-neglect. To briefly point out, the self has many origins, however deeply noted as such heart, spirit, and psyche in Islam. F

Past studies have reported third-party disability exists among the significant other of the hearing-impaired with degree ranging from mild to severe. There are many available questionnaires that measure significant other’s psychosocial well-being following hearing impairment; and one that has been psychometrically validated and matched with WHO d

Reason’s Swiss Cheese Model has been instrumental in explaining how adverse events occur in domains ranging from aviation to healthcare. According to the accident causation model, accidents happen when defences within a system fail to prevent the accident causation process from progressing, and such failures are commonly due to active failures su

Silver-silica nanocomposites (Ag-SiO2NCs), with unique properties such as highly resonant particle plasmons, conductivity and potential applications in optics and various nanoelectronics are very attractive materials for sensing probes in biotechnology. Ag-SiO2NCs with various compositions were synthesized through sol-gel technique. The morphology,

Why do medical errors occur so frequently when many of our healthcare workers are highly trained and dedicated people? Is the problem due to 'bad' workers or something more complex? This talk discusses the opposing views on why medical errors occur, with emphasis on the importance of using a systems thinking in managing medical errors.2/11/

A buckling analysis of an isotropic circular plate with piezoceramic annular plate attached to it is presented. The annular plate is attached at the circular plate edge so that the radius of the circular plate is the inner radius of the annular plate. The piezoceramic annular plate is used as the radial in-plane load source. The radial and hoop str
