Introduction & Purpose: Cultural competency is highly expected from nurses, who form the largest group of the healthcare workforce. Al-Moosa Specialist Hospital, located in Saudi Arabia, hires nurses from different regions across the world. Yet there are no cultural competency training programs or educational sessions in the hospital. The purpose of this project is to develop a cultural competency training program for nurses in the hospital. Method: A literature review was performed to explore the different cultural competency theoretical models, the various cultural competency assessment tools, and the factors of successful cultural competency training programs to build on their experience when designing our training. Proposed Training: The Purnell Model for Cultural Competence is the foundation for the content. The program employed a backward design, which starts with defining the learning objectives before choosing the instructional strategies and evaluation methods that will best enable each objective be met. The delivery format is blended and includes two parts. Part one is online and asynchronous, comprising an interactive lecture with complimentary videos and diagrams. The second part is practical and will be offered as an onsite workshop structured according to Gagné's 9 Events of Instruction Storyboard. An implementation and evaluation plan were developed as well. Discussion: The suggested training has several advantages. First, the Purnell model and its organizing structure will serve as a guide for nurses when evaluating the culture of patients; a program at Pittsburg State University to teach cultural competence uses the same model to enrich its core curriculum. Second, a Cochrane study suggested that the use of mixed interactive and didactic formats and an emphasis on results were essential for the success of instructional sessions.Conclusion: Ensuring a culturally competent health workforce is essential to increase the quality and safety of care (Cai, 2016). The proposed program is designed to enhance the intercultural communication of nurses, enabling them to build a therapeutic relationship with their patients and strengthen the person-centered approach used at the hospital.

This research is tackling the issue of complex resources scheduling in project management. In traditional planning tools, resource allocation is sequence based. This normally results in a very simple baseline schedule. However, in reality, the problem of project scheduling is more complex and it depends on a multitude of factors. For example, project scheduling when combined with resources constraints and activities duration uncertainty is an interesting research problem that has recently has attracted the effort many researchers. Previous research has developed a simulation-based approach to solve the problem by optimizing resources resource allocation decisions on starting specific project activities at specific times. Several nonlinear optimization models were developed for this purpose assuming uniform resource availability and sequence based project tasks. The work presented in thesis add to the existing literature in a proposing the use of a genetic algorithm uncertain approach to resource- scheduling in projects. This research focuses on one of the most important aspects, which is uncertainty. The uncertainty aspect was not incorporated effectively in in the previous resource modeling models. The uncertainty of time estimation is one of the most important problems which reduce any resource scheduler effectiveness. Genetic algorithm was chosen as the main methodology to build resource scheduler. The results showed the proposed methodology outperformed existing algorithms in optimizing project durations and resources allocation. The main contribution of the proposed scheduler is its ability to incorporate uncertainty in scheduling process. Results proofed effectiveness and outperformance of the proposed solution. The genetic algorithm was tested on several projects from the existing databases and on one new project to the validity of the approach. The proposed algorithm out performed fairly well the results that exists from previous studies. One major contribution of this research is the incorporation of uncertainty to optimize project duration based on resource allocation.

AbstractThe research on the production of biodiesel has increased significantlyin recent years because of the need for an alternative fuel which withbiodegradability, low toxicity and renewability. The present study aimedto production biodiesel from Citrullus colocynthis seeds oil anddetermines its physical and chemical proprieties.The dry seeds of the citrullus colonythis plant was obtained fromalmattama locality and was then minced and the oil extracted by usinga soxhlet (hexane as solvent). The oil content percent of the seeds was18.91%. The physical properties of the oil were measured density 0.9014g/��3, viscosity 36.7 centipoises, refractive index 1.465 and moisture0.245% while chemical properties were peroxide value 1.62mmolO2/kg, the saponification value substances 186.36mgKOH/g, un saponificationvalue 0.825mKOH/g , iodine number 110.76 and acid value 4.445mgKOH/g.The biodiesel was produced using the transesterification reaction and itsproperties were kinematic viscosity 9cSt , the calorific value 43.82 MJ/Kg , the density 0.906 g/��3, the specific gravity 0.913 , the pour point-33C˚, micro carbon residue 0% , Acid value 0.6 mgKOH/g and APInumber 23.29. Compared with ASTM standards (D6571).

ملخص : عرف التعليم التحضيري في الجزائر توسعا كبيرا على غرار باقي البلدان كما سعت الدولة جاهدة من أجل النهوض به لما له من أهمية بالغة في تكوين شخصية الطفل ، حيث يهدف إلى تزويده بالتربية الصحية ، التعليمية ، الأخلاقية الاجتماعية والجمالية ، كما تهدف إلى إعداده للتعلم في المرحلة التالية له وذلك من خلال إكسابه العديد من المهارات والمعارف الأولية التي أثبتت أن الالتحاق بالتعليم التحضيري قد يعود بنتائج إيجابية ومرضية لدى تلاميذ المرحلة اللاحقة التي تسمي بالتعليم الأساسي والإلزامي الذي كان في بداياته حلاً لمشكلات اقتصادية واجتماعية تعاني منها الدول النامية، ولكنه كأي مفهوم جديد خضع لمناقشات بين مؤيدين ومعارضين. فالمؤيدون يرونه صيغة لتعميم التعليم ووصوله إلى الجماهير وتجاوز سلبيات التعليم الابتدائي التقليدي المنفصل عن حاجات المجتمع وحياة الأفراد، تأتي الدراسة في محاولة تبيين العلاقة بين المرحلة التحضيرية و التعليم الالزامي. الكلمات المفتاحية: المرحلة التحضيرية ، الطفل، التعليم الالزامي

Land is the primary source of livelihood for small-scale farmers who live in rural areas. However, the agrarian sector is presently witnessing unprecedented changes concerning the use and ownership of land. These changes expansively relate to large scale land purchases by multinational companies, businesses, governments and individuals, which is largely driven by neo-liberal policies-a phenomenon widely labeled 'land grabbing' by popular media and critical literature due to the consequences it poses. As a result, the study set out to investigate the implications of mining-driven large-scale land acquisitions( land grabbing) on tenure security and livelihoods of agro-pastoralists in Moroto, Uganda.The research study employed fieldwork as a qualitative research technique to collect data from 80 participants. Data were collected using a key informants interview guide and a focus group discussions interview guide. Other qualitative tools employed included: historical analysis which was used to investigate the evolution of land access, ownership, and control, as well as the different uses attached to it across time, a case study technique which entailed an intensive study of a sample of households in Nanyidik village in Rupa sub-county who have been affected by activities of Sunbelt mining company and finally, participant observation which provided a chance to 'watch' more and also understand what was not clearly answered during the interviews. Content analysis was employed in analyzing this qualitative data whereas direct quotes were maintained.The results of the study show that mining-driven largescale land acquisitions have created and intensified insecurity of tenure, led to land dispossession and dislodgment of pastoralists from their rangelands without sufficient consultations and/or compensation. Results further reveal livelihoods are transitioning away from pastoralism as agro-pastoralists have resorted to other alternative livelihoods as a copying mechanism. Findings also show that largescale land acquisition has led to: restricted access to grazing areas, loss of animals due to confinement and/or arrests, environmental destruction and exploitation of labor among agro-pastoralists in Moroto.This has had a negative implication on the security of tenure and the livelihoods of agro-pastoralists in the study area.
