Purpose: This is a pilot study to identify patient safety risk factors and strategies for patient safety management perceived by nurses. Methods: Data were collected and analyzed with an open questionnaire from April to May 2005, targeted on 100 nurses working in two hospitals. The issues were 'what are risk factors for patients, nurses, and other medical practitioners? How do they prevent with the aftermath of risk factors, causes of incidents?' For data analysis, types and frequency of risk factors were worked out, using the Australian Incident Monitoring System Taxonomy. Results: The types of patient safety risk factor perceived by nurses were as follows ; therapeutic devices or equipment, infrastructure and services (29.5%), nosocomial infections (16.3%), clinical processes or procedures (15.4%), behavior, human performance, violence, aggression, security and safety (12.2%), therapeutic agents (9.7%), injuries and pressure ulcers (8.7%), logistics, organization, documentation, and infrastructure technology (5.6%). Strategies for patient safety included training of prevention of infection, education about safety management for patients and medical professionals, establishment of reporting system, culture of care, pre-elimination of risk factors, cooperative system among employees, and sharing information. Conclusion: These results will be used to provide evidences for patient safety management and educational program.

This paper is a study about Honey-pot Model using CPN(Colored Petri Nets) that is a method of intrusion detection. Suggested Honey-pot model consists of two parts : \circled1 security kernel module for active induction of hacker's intrusion, intrusion detection and behavior pattern analysis. \circled2 virtual module for activity of induced hackers. However, suggested model was compared and analysed with conventional Denning model and Shieh nodel. The Honey-pot model using CPN can classify the characteristic of intrusion pattern, modeling intrusion pattern and pattern matching procedure, detect DDoS attack through multi hosts, and provide basis of study model for analysing intrusion pattern, finally.

The reliability of wireless body area networks is an important research issue since it may jeopardize the vital human life, unless managed properly. In this article, a new modeling and analysis of node misbehaviors in wireless body area networks is presented, in the presence of multi-type failures. First, the nodes are classified into types in accordance with routing capability. Then, the node behavior in the presence of failures such as energy exhaustion and/or malicious attacks has been modeled using a novel Semi-Markov process. The proposed model is very useful in analyzing reliability of WBANs in the presence of multi-type failures.

Purpose - This study aims to examine the impact of work values on entrepreneurial attitudes, and test the moderating effect of entrepreneurial opportunity identification on the above mentioned relationship as well. Research design, data, and methodology - A questionnaire survey was conducted to 258 employees who comes from 8 different types of the enterprises in northwestern of China, and the corresponding research model was verified. Results - The results show that "comfort and security" (one dimension of work values) has a significant negative impact on entrepreneurial attitudes. Another two dimensions of work values, such as "competence and growth" and "status and independence" have a significant positive impact on entrepreneurial attitudes. In addition, entrepreneurial opportunity identification has a significant moderating effect on the relations between work values and entrepreneurial attitudes. Specifically, only the entrepreneurship opportunity identification positively moderates the relationship between status & independence and entrepreneurial attitudes. Conclusions - This research further enriches the relevant theories of organizational behavior and entrepreneurships. This study also has guiding significance and value for management practice, especially for this research results implies, that is, individual's ability to entrepreneurial opportunity identification (e.g., identify feasible distribution channel for potential new venture) is important in entrepreneurship.

In order to investigate the accuracy and applicability of steel equivalent constitutive model, the calculated results were compared with typical tests of steel frames under static and dynamic loading patterns firstly. Secondly, four widely used models for time history analysis of steel frames were compared to discuss the applicability and efficiency of different methods, including shell element model, multi-scale model, equivalent constitutive model (ECM) and traditional beam element model (especially bilinear model). Four-story steel frame models of above-mentioned finite element methods were established. The structural deformation, failure modes and the computational efficiency of different models were compared. Finally, the equivalent constitutive model was applied in seismic incremental dynamic analysis of a ten-floor steel frame and compared with the cyclic hardening model without considering damage and degradation. Meanwhile, the effects of damage and degradation on the seismic performance of steel frame were discussed in depth. The analysis results showed that: damages would lead to larger deformations. Therefore, when the calculated results of steel structures subjected to rare earthquake without considering damage were close to the collapse limit, the actual story drift of structure might already exceed the limit, leading to a certain security risk. ECM could simulate the damage and degradation behaviors of steel structures more accurately, and improve the calculation accuracy of traditional beam element model with acceptable computational efficiency.

The Internet is referred as sea of information, which provides huge information, but personal information is collected for malicious behavior and provided to various web sites via internet. This can lead to economic losses as well as the disclosure of personal information. We can easily get personal information from device, such as mobile and private terminal, as well as internet, and then it can be spread very quickly. The personal information leakage and damage cases are also increasing, while the importance of personal information on the web page to distinguish the individual as the basic information is growing. In this paper we review and analyse recent invasion of privacy practices on the web and its causes, and technical and administrative protections.

This study aims to investigate the importance of earnings quality as a determinant of companies' performance. It provides some empirical evidences from an emerging market, specifically from the Jordanian market. This study developed an econometric model for the effect of earnings quality on the companies' performance using empirical evidence. The study employs a panel data analysis method by using a sample of all Jordanian industrial public shareholding companies listed on Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) during 2010-2018. The results reveal that Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), and Earnings Per Share (EPS) as proxies of company's performance are affected by the earnings quality. This provides the importance of positive earnings quality that eventually influences the companies' performance. The results of this study suggest that the higher control level on the managers' behavior and its outcome will have an effect on earnings quality, and thus the company's performance increases. As well as, high relevance of accounting information will improve earnings quality, and thus earnings quality with the interaction factors of the company's environment work on improving performance. As a conclusion, this study can work as a reference to assist standard setters, security analysts, regulators and other accounting-information users in appraising relation between the earnings quality and companies' performance.

To estimate the retained strength of reinforced concrete structure after fire is very difficult because the complex behavior of structure is hard to understand during course of a fire. However, the damages which is caused by fire of the traffic facility infrastructure are enormous. Therefore the security against fire is important element that must not be overlooked. For this reason, an exact estimate method of the fire endurance is highly demanded. In this study, the validity of the nonlinear finite element method approach for the fire endurance of reinforced concrete structure is verified. The results of fire endurance estimate of underground road way by nonlinear finite element method approach are compared with those by ACI 216R-89.
