Abstract:
Australia has decades of public policy experience attempting to overcome the disparities in health outcomes facing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (Indigenous) Australians. Significant resources have accompanied these policy initiatives, however, Indigenous Australians continue to bear a heavier burden of death, disease, disability and economic hardship than other Australians. Despite the policy experience of Australia and widespread support for initiatives to overcome Indigenous disadvantage, there is little consensus on the best means to actually do so.

Researchers have identified significant relationships between parenting styles and child outcomes. However, these associations might vary in different cultures because parenting behaviors could link to cultural values. Additionally, understanding the cultural values of parents would help researchers better understand the reasons of parents’ behaviors. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between parental Asian values, parenting styles, parenting practices, and child outcomes.

There is a gap between organizational commitment to professional value of the nurse and the achievement of quality outcomes. This study explored the relationship between the productivity model and the professional value (PVS) model of the hospital-based registered nurse (RN). It was essential to understand how to measure nursing's contribution to patient care as a means to promote patient care outcomes. The current professional nursing dynamic provides an unprecedented opportunity for nurses to achieve their highest professional potential through increased demonstration of advocacy and account

In this curriculum the focus is on attitudes, skills and values which replaced a content based approach with a process-based approach.

This dissertation uses service-dominant logic to understand customer value creation in service innovation context.

To fill the gaps in the literature, we draw from S-D logic to understand antecedents and outcome of co-creation to service innovation context. The results of this study show that most of the hypotheses are supported, thus finding support for the overall model of value co-creation.

En tant qu'application de l'économie collaborative, la micromobilité partagée se réfère à l'utilisation partagée de modes de transport légers, tels que le partage de scooters électriques. Elle est considérée comme faisant partie intégrante de la mobilité urbaine durable, car elle réduit la dépendance aux véhicules motorisés individuels et résout le problème du premier et du dernier kilomètre des transports publics. Cependant, la micromobilité partagée est controversée en raison de problèmes liés aux consommateurs, tels que le vandalisme. Par conséquent, elle a suscité de l'intérêt dans le mond

Abstract:
This dissertation examines the effects of physician ownership of hospitals on the quality of patient-centric care in the U.S. The health care sector in the U.S. is becoming more aligned with markets and in turn, with consumers’ preferences. In consumer driven service industries, consumer satisfaction is considered a key criterion to judge quality. In the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) patient satisfaction surveys, physician-owned hospitals (POHs) get more top 5-Star ratings than other hospitals. However, it is not known whether higher perceived patien

Abstract:
We utilize unbalanced panel data from Refinitiv Eikon covering 9,960 global firms from 2002 to 2022. We conduct a panel regression analysis to find out the association between independent and dependent variables. In addition, we estimate entropy balancing estimation, the two-step system generalised method of moments (GMM) and the generalised estimating equation (GEE) to address endogeneity issues. In the current study, we investigate four models. The aim of our first model is to investigate the association between board demographic, structural, and capital diversity, and corporate carbon perfo

Abstract:
Abstract The repair of degenerative mitral valve regurgitation has been shown to be an effective procedure with durable results. The techniques for mitral valve repair are not completely risk-free for late failure, and the identification of factors associated with this increased risk is of clinical relevance as it permits an appropriate selection of patients for whom mitral valve surgery should be offered and by which technique. The European system for cardiac operative risk evaluation score (EuroSCORE) has been used and demonstrated worldwide to be a valid tool for the prediction of immediate
