“I am attempting to give you some account of a recent vacation trip which we were privileged to enjoy - Rose, Mother and I…” As the account of the trip to view the eclipse is unsigned, we can’t say for sure but as the author states “Rose, Mother and I” one could logically assume that the author is a sibling of T. Rose Curtis
ROSE POLY and ME A Memoir
No full textAuthor discusses his time as an engineering student and football player (1955-59), and then football coach, track coach, athletic director, instructor and then assistant professor of civil engineering at Rose Polytechnic Institute (now Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology) (1962-64). As a football player in 1958, he led the nation in scoring with 168 points in 8 games. Sixty-two years later, the 168 points continues to be the record for points in a season by an Indiana college football player. His 21.0 points per game were the national record for thirty years (1958-88) until broken by Barry Sanders of Oklahoma State. In 1957 and 1958, the Rose Poly football team won fifteen games in a row over two seasons while the defense held opponents to 5.4 points per game. In 1958, the team led the NCAA Division II in defense holding opponents to 95.8 yards per game and a total of 31 points (3.9 points per game). As the football coach, he rescued the team from a disastrous previous year in which the team lost all of its games and scored only six points. The author concludes with his afterthoughts on his alma mater after a career of more than 60 years in engineering education.https://scholar.rose-hulman.edu/alum_pub/1003/thumbnail.jp

Advancing nursing? Master's level nurses in Jordan
No full textThe aim of the study was to examine the extent to which advanced nursing practice was evident in Jordan, with a particular focus on the contribution of Master’s level nurses to advancing practice. It also aimed at understanding the drivers for developing its roles and the factors which might facilitate or hinder their implementation.
The study used an ethnographic design in which qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection were used. The study comprised two stages. The first stage involved interviewing key stakeholders and surveying M-level nurses. Stage two involved interviewing and observing M-level nurses working in clinical practice in five Jordanian hospitals and interviewing the main stakeholders with whom those nurses had contact.
Three themes emerged from the data: understanding advanced nursing practice, becoming am M-level nurse, and being an M-level nurse. The analysis showed that there was no clear notion of advanced nursing practice in Jordan, although participants did describe a number of different elements of advanced practice. The analysis also revealed that nurses undertake Master’s degrees for professional and self-development reasons. The most frequently cited benefits from M-level education that reflected on practice were the enhancement of cognitive abilities, including critical thinking, problem solving and the questioning of practice, the use of research skills and in-service training. The area with least change was that of the development of new practical skills. The data also suggested that a change of job title or job description, after gaining a Master’s degree, reflects the movement of M-level nurses away from direct patient care to non-direct patient care.
Several factors were identified as facilitating or hindering the development of the role of M-level nurses in practice. These were organisational factors, professional factors, and personal attributes. The most significant factors were lack of recognition of the M-level nurse, and the subservient role of the nurse in Jordanian society

Conflict management styles used by nurses in Jordan
No full textAim: This paper is a report of a study of conflict management styles used by nurses in Jordan. Background: There are five main styles used to deal with conflict. At present research into their utilisation is dominated by reports from Western countries. This research is the second to investigate their use by nurses in an Arab country and it illustrates similarities with the earlier work, allowing an initial profile to be constructed which may be applicable to the larger Arab world of healthcare. Methods: Cross-sectional quantitative survey of nurses in Jordan using the Rahim Organisation Conflict Inventory (ROCI II) questionnaire. Results/Findings: The nurses were most likely to prefer an integrating style of conflict management, followed in rank order by compromising, obliging, dominating and avoiding. Conclusion: A tentative model of the styles which nurses in Arab countries prefer to manage conflict is proposed, which suggests that they are likely to provide stable workplaces

An assessment of the political economy of trade between Jordan and the United States of America
No full textThis thesis considers the political economy of trade between Jordan and the United States. In so doing a number of questions are asked regarding the national interests which have led to the facilitation of bilateral trade, the nature of contemporary trade and market integration as well as the impacts of these on inter-state cooperation. Throughout this thesis the role of Jordanian and US engagement in international institutions is considered and conclusions formed regarding the utility of these in trade relations and inter-state cooperation. It is found that the Jordanian government's key interests over the past decade or so have been the pursuit of economic growth and stability. It is also found that these interests have been pursued through economic reform at the domestic level and trade liberalisation through international institutions at the international level. It is also concluded that the United States is pursuing a number of key policy goals in the Middle East and North Africa. These are, securing sustainable access to the region's resources, gaining greater access to the region's markets and achieving inter-state cooperation with MENA states. It is demonstrated that the United States is pursuing these goals by encouraging states in the region to engage in international institutions and liberalise trade with each other and with the United States to increase economic integration and inter-state cooperation. The convergence of the two states' policy directions has led to inter-state cooperation in the facilitation of trade between Jordan and the United States.In order to assess the current nature of contemporary trade between Jordan and the United States and what the impacts of inter-state cooperation have been, trade in three economic sectors has been studied
Evaluation of eGovernment websites usability in Jordan
No full textThis thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University on 20/12/2011.In the Information and Communications Technology era, eGovernment projects present a great opportunity for governments to offer better and quicker services to their users from the public. However, the success and the failure of these projects to achieve the expected goals depend heavily on some important aspects, mainly websites usability.
The research in this thesis focuses on the usability of eGovernment websites in Jordan as a case study, as it is one of the developing countries facing problems due to websites usability. Hence, the main aim of the research was to investigate the situation of the Jordanian eGovernment websites with a view to improving usability, as well as to propose a roadmap to reinforce websites usability in order to achieve better utilisation and a more successful eGovernment project in Jordan.
This research work achievement and major contributions have been accomplished through three stages; the first stage investigated the level of usability of eGovernment in Jordan from a manager‟s perspective. The study for this stage involved a sample of 37 managers who are in charge of managing and maintaining eGovernment projects in Jordan. The research revealed that the main problems undermining Jordanian eGovernment usability are the lack of the general usability awareness amongst management, the lack of clear usability standards and guidelines, the insufficient level of end-user involvement in the process of design and maintenance of eGovernment services, limited budgets and the lack of expert web-designers.
The second stage was to build a clear overview about the status of eGovernment websites usability in Jordan by investigating main aspects related to design that affect the success of eGovernment websites in Jordan from an end-user‟s perspective. The study for this stage involved 155 participants for testing five Jordanian eGovernment websites. It was revealed that the Jordanian eGovernment websites generally do not have a high level of usability, and that there is a lack of understanding of the needs and requirements of the end-users. In addition, the study discovered a lack of testing and monitoring of the websites, a lack of involvement of end-users, poor collaboration and coordination among government agencies, poor standardisation, and lack of trust/satisfaction.
The outcome from the early mentioned studies was used in the third stage, which has been used to establish the model to improve the usability of eGovernment websites in Jordan through a clear roadmap. The model has four components: website manager and designer, end-users, usability committee (advisory, executive), design process (usability requirements, pre-implementation test, post-implementation and maintenance). The model which was established and evaluated can be very beneficial for promoting eGovernment websites usability, in Jordan particularly and in other countries with similar backgrounds and situations.Kingdom of Jorda
