Using Excel to Deal with Uncertainty in Managerial Decision Making
No full textIn the business world, the possible values of an uncertain variable normally cluster around the expected mean and fall off smoothly on either side of it, resembling a normal distribution. This once challenging process to generate random numbers from a normal distribution for simulation purposes required different lines of code and programming, a tedious task at best. But today Excel and readily available online probability computation tools have made simulation rather easy. This article shows how to use these tools to better deal with uncertainty in managerial decision making
Cat & Cat #2: Cat Out of Water
No full textThe adventures of Catherine and her cat, Sushi, continue in more comic escapades. To get away from it all, and get some rest and relaxation, Cat, her cat, and her dad visit the great outdoors. Being a single parent is never easy, and having a daughter such as Cat, not to mention a cat that’s also very much a part of the family, may be too much for her dad to handle no matter how much they all may love each other! Rough waters are ahead for the family of three, especially after Dad drops the bombshell: they’re moving! And we all know how much cats love water…
Understanding the impact of employee involvement on organizational productivity: The moderating role of organizational commitment
No full textAffiliation Clayton State UniversityThis article will explore the moderating effects of organizational committment
on the relationship between employee involvement and organizational productivity.
Research has indicated some effect of TFL on creativity. However, there are empirical and
theoretical reasons to believe that this effect may be intensified by an organizational culture that
promotes continuous, valuable learning. The article will investigate various components of TFL,
and offer propositions on their influence on group creativity, as well as the interaction between
organizational learning culture and TFL that affects group creativity. A conceptual model and
suggestions for future research in the field will also be provided
Examining the Perceptions of Clinical Competence of Undergraduate Nursing Students During the Era of Social Distancing
No full textBackgroundCOVID – 19 caused sudden and dramatic changes in nursing education during the spring of 2020. Traditional educational methods were rapidly replaced with distance learning and virtual simulation. The authors of this study were concerned with the impact of these changes on undergraduate education and conducted a study to examine students’ perceptions of their clinical competence with the use of virtual simulation given social distancing guidelines.ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to examine undergraduate nursing students’ perceptions of their clinical competence and simulation effectiveness after implementation of distance methodologies and use of virtual simulation for learning clinical skills.MethodThe study design was cross-sectional and descriptive. A non-random sample of undergraduate students completed two questionnaires examining clinical competence and simulation effectiveness.ResultsData were analyzed using descriptive statistics, frequencies, independent t-tests and Pearson’s correlations. Participants were 19-55 with a mean age of 29.2(9.9). Participants were mostly seniors (56.1%), female (82.5%), and African-American (60.7%). Fifty-eight students completed the entire Clinical Competence Questionnaire (CCQ) with a mean of 4.4 (SD 0.35) on a scale of 1 to 5. Scores on the CCQ were significantly higher for senior level students, those who were employed in healthcare settings, and students who had experienced some learning in a clinical setting. Fifty-seven students completed the Simulation Effectiveness Tool (SET) with a mean of 2.31 (SD 0.47) on a scale of 1 to 3. Scores on the SET were positively correlated with scores on the CCQ.Conclusions Students reported high levels of clinical competence and positive perceptions of confidence after use of virtual simulation as a learning tool. The findings of this study provide support for the use of virtual simulation for teaching clinical skills

The Sky Over the Louvre
No full textIn the next volume in co-edition with the Louvre museum (Glacial Period) we go back to the very origins of the Louvre as a museum: the tumultuous years of the French revolution. It's the story of a painting of the Supreme Being, ordered by Robespierre from the famous painter David. A painting which was never made. It's also the story of another painting, that of the young Bara, a 13 year old martyr of the Republic. From the inauguration of the Louvre, former royal palace, as the museum for the people, to the death of Robespierre, this is also the portrayal of the face to face of two major actors of a revolution in a great hurry. Robespierre appears equally enlightened and lost while David accomplishes his destiny: a painter torn between political engagement and artistic ambition. Yslaire, one the great stars of French comics, delivers a stunning masterwork in an epic and disturbing graphic novel seeped in a dramatic and fascinating period of history
