first year pre service teachers in taiwan do they enter the teacher program with Satisfactory scientific literacy and attitudes toward science
International Journal of Science Education, 2005Co-Authors: Chichin ChinAbstract:Scientific literacy and attitudes toward science play an important role in human daily lives. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether first‐year pre‐service teachers in colleges in Taiwan have a Satisfactory Level of scientific literacy. The domains of scientific literacy selected in this study include: (1) science content; (2) the interaction between science, technology and society (STS); (3) the nature of science; and (4) attitudes toward science. In this study, the instruments used were Chinese translations of the Test of Basic Scientific Literacy (TBSL) and the Test of Science‐related Attitudes. Elementary education majors (n = 141) and science education majors (n = 138) from four teachers’ colleges responded to these instruments. The statistical results from the tests revealed that, in general, the basic scientific literacy of first‐year pre‐service teachers was at a Satisfactory Level. Of the six scales covered in this study, the pre‐service teachers displayed the highest literacy in he...

First‐year Pre‐service Teachers in Taiwan—Do they enter the teacher program with Satisfactory scientific literacy and attitudes toward science?

Effect of liquid-based gel application during speculum examination on Satisfactory Level of smear examination
Archives of gynecology and obstetrics, 2012Co-Authors: Aydın Köşüş, Nermin Köşüş, Müzeyyen Duran, Hacer Haltas, Deniz Hizli, Hasan KafaliAbstract:Purpose The aim was to evaluate the use of liquid-based gel during cytologic follow-up and the effect of liquid-based gel application during speculum examination on Satisfactory Level of smear.

effect of liquid based gel application during speculum examination on Satisfactory Level of smear examination
Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics, 2012Co-Authors: Aydın Köşüş, Nermin Köşüş, Müzeyyen Duran, Hacer Haltas, Deniz Hizli, Hasan KafaliAbstract:The aim was to evaluate the use of liquid-based gel during cytologic follow-up and the effect of liquid-based gel application during speculum examination on Satisfactory Level of smear. A total of 1,999 patients were taken into the study. Patients were divided into two groups as gel-applied group and control group. Age and menopausal status of patients, and the physicians taking the smear (resident or specialist) were recorded. In control group, dry speculum was used for the collection of smear sample. All specimens were evaluated for correlation of the cytopathology, the number of “unSatisfactory” samples, and any secondary diagnoses. Assessment of smear satisfactoriness revealed that 2.2% (43) of them were unSatisfactory. UnSatisfactory smear ratio was significantly high in gel-applied group. Screening done by residents increased unSatisfactory result risk for about 5.5 times. Evaluation of effect of menopausal status on smear adequency revealed no difference between premenopausal and postmenopausal women. Cervical smear seems to be more accurate without gel application. Experience of the physician is also important. Water-based gel can be used in some women who experience overt pain during speculum examination, but these patients must be warned about unSatisfactory results and the need of repeat test.

Product Design Based on Concurrent Processing of Design and Manufacturing Information by Utility Analysis
Concurrent Engineering, 1996Co-Authors: Masataka Yoshimura, Hideyuki KondoAbstract:A methodology for concurrent decision making of factors concerning product designs and product manufacturing is proposed for ob taining better product designs from a wider global viewpoint of the product performance and the product manufacturing cost according to the concept of concurrent engineering In this method first a function expressing the Satisfactory Level of the manufacturing division and a function expressing the Satisfactory Level of the design division are formulated for the product design being regarded Then an integrated higher ranking decision making utility function is formulated using these two Satisfactory Level functions by the utility analysis Next Pareto optimum solution sets of the two multiobjective optimization problems of maximization of the product performance and minimization of the product manufacturing cost are obtained for alternative product designs Finally on the Pareto optimum solution curves the values of the integrated Satisfactory Levels are obtained and the most prefe...

Concurrent Product Design Based on Simultaneous Processing of Design and Manufacturing Information by Utility Analysis
Volume 1: 21st Design Automation Conference, 1995Co-Authors: Masataka Yoshimura, Hideyuki KondoAbstract:Abstract A methodology for concurrent decision making of factors concerning product design and product manufacturing is proposed for obtaining better product designs from a wider global viewpoint of the product performance and the product manufacturing cost according to the concept of concurrent engineering. In this method, first, a function expressing the Satisfactory Level of the manufacturing division and a function expressing the Satisfactory Level of the design division are formulated for the product design being regarded. Then, an integrated higher ranking decision making utility function is formulated using these two Satisfactory Level functions by the utility analysis. Next, Pareto optimum solution sets of the two multiobjective optimization problems of maximization of the product performance and minimization of the product manufacturing cost are obtained for alternative product designs. Finally, on the Pareto optimum solution curves, the values of the integrated Satisfactory Levels are obtained and the most preferable design solution is selected. An applied example of this concurrent design procedure is given to demonstrate it’s effectiveness in comparison to a conventional design procedure.

design of an efficient strategy for optimization of payment induced by a rational supply chain process a prerequisite for maintaining a Satisfactory Level of working capital
Procedia Computer Science, 2020Co-Authors: Halima Semaa, Mohamed Ait Hou, Ziyad Fadili, Yousef Farhaoui, Bouchra MalhouniAbstract:Abstract The financial supply chain involves the flow of cash throughout the physical network. These financial flows are still performing as they did in the past thirty years. The management of the flow of money is complex since the delivery or receipt of a product or service does not necessarily give rise to an immediate collection or disbursement of money. This delay of synchronization impacts significantly the working capital and forces the companies to look for nearly the same visibility in their financial flows as in their physical ones. Different supply chain strategies can be used to improve the working capital. Companies can either manage their inventory more efficiently or reduce the Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) and payment terms from customers or Increase Days Payable Outstanding (DPO) by paying suppliers on later terms. We address in this the paper the problem of scheduling invoice payments in order to improve working capital performance.
