Role of Head Nurses in Documenting , Evaluating and Reviewing Staff Performance at Tishreen University Hospital from Nursing staff's viewpoint

The aim of the research was to evaluate the role of the head nurses in documenting, evaluating and reviewing the performance of nursing staff at Tishreen University Hospital from the point of view of nursing staff. Random sample was used , it consisted of 50% of the nursing staff at Tishreen University Hospital during the application of the research there number (300 ) nurses. A developed tool for collecting information was used based on recent research literature, and data were collected and analyzed using SPSS version (20). The most important results were that the evaluation of the role of the head nurses was at moderate level in documenting and evaluating the performance of the nursing staff, while the evaluation of the research sample for the role of the head nurses in reviewing their performance was at a good level.

Optimum Security protocol in Wireless Local Area Networks

WLANs have evolved into the best choice in a number of situations such as government institutions and airports, but because of the open transport in these networks increased the possibility of security attacks, which required the use of security protocols to protect the network and to protect users. This research examines and evaluates the impact of security protocols on WLAN performance in order to select the optimal protocol, the impact of these protocols on network performance has been evaluated by adding those Protocols to open source GloMoSim environment, And recent simulation results show that the performance of these protocols are varies according to the environment applied within them, noting that there is no effective Protocol in all environments, i.e. the suitable Protocol in an environment may be unsuitable in other ones. After comparing performance results in simulations with performance results in the real network, we can see that the best performance protocol is WEP. Also, The best protocol for both performance and security is the WPA2. Hence, our choice to one of the security protocols depends on what we want to secure in the level of protection and the performance of the network.

Implementing Multi-Tiered E-commerce Applications and Assessing the Impact of the Different Techniques on Performance

Multitiered ecommerce applications are distributed applications where application logic is divided into components according to function. These components are installed on different machines, depending on the tier to which the application component belongs , additionally, these applications provide ecommerce services like online shopping

Evaluate Saudi insurance companies by Regulatory Information System

This study aims to evaluate the Saudi insurance companies, according to American Insurance Regulatory Information System (IRIS). The study results showed that the researched companies suffer from the absence of stability in their performance and activities, due to the great differentials in the volumes of their portfolios from one year to another, also the study showed that these companies suffered a great degradation in the profitability of their insurance business, despite the increase in their collection and development rates, and degradation in the loss rates of these business, and they depend on the profits of their investment activities to a very large extent to cover the reduction in their underwriting business, and the Saudi market is unable to absorb these huge development and expansion in the number of the companies and their volumes. The study concluded that Saudi insurance companies don't go in compliance with the performance standards of the American insurance business, and by performing the test of one way analysis of variation (One-Way ANOVA), to study the differentials between the performance of the researched companies, it was proved that there isn't a significant differences between the performance of the Takaful, cooperative insurance and cooperative reinsurance companies, and there is a significant differences between the performance of the Takaful reinsurance companies and the other types of companies.

Evaluating the performance of secondary school teachers in the light of Total Quality Management Standards A Field study to explore the views of managers and supervisors in the city of Latakia

The research handles the evaluation of the performance of teachers of secondary education in the city of Latakia according to the criteria of total quality management from the perspective of supervisors and school directors in the following areas: planning and design of educational situations, classroom management and the relationship with the students, mastery of educational material and follow-up, use of modern techniques, student assessment, and the relationship with the local community. To achieve the objectives of the research, a questionnaire was designed consisting of (37) items covering the fields of research, and distributed to a sample of (41) educational supervisors, and (23) High School directors in the city of Lattakia.

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Employees’ Performance Appraisal in Public Hospitals: A field Study in the Public Hospitals of the Syrian Coast

This research aims to examine the concept of Employees’ Performance Evaluation, as it is an important strategy that helps managers take an objective decision about the employee’s performance level. Also, it informs the extent of improvement that has occurred as related to the employees’ completion of tasks and their ability to bear highlevel responsibilities and extra duties. Such appraisal will have a positive effect on achieving the objectives of the hospital and increasing its performance efficiency. This research studied the most important factors that affect performance efficiency in the public hospitals of the Syrian Coast. To conduct this research, questionnaires and descriptive, analytical, and statistical techniques were utilized to collect statistics. They were later analyzed by the statistical program SPSS. The findings of this research showed weak experience in evaluation methods and techniques. It was also surmised that no feedback was given to the employees. Such feedback should be required as it orients the employees with the level of their performance and makes the opportunity to improve possible. The recommendations of this research suggest that evaluators should undergo sufficient training in order to be oriented with evaluation concepts and techniques. Also, a suitable feedback about performance should be made available to the employees.

Performance Evaluation of Algorithms of Dynamic Rendezvous Point Relocation

The Protocol Independent Multicast - Sparse Mode (PIM-SM) uses one center (referred here as the Rendezvous Point “RP”) for all sources in a multicast group. PIM-SM distributes the multicast traffic of a source through a so-called shared distribution tree, whose root is at a predefined core called Rendezvous Point (RP). It also builds source-specific trees to the sources whose data rates exceed a defined threshold. In the literature, several investigations are done to improve and provide an efficient mechanism for the dynamic relocation of the RP depending on the sources or the members of the multicast group. In this paper, we extend the investigation of three search algorithms used to find the optimal RP position. To evaluate the performance of these algorithms, Estimated Tree Cost (ETC) and our improvement Enhanced Estimated Tree Cost (EETC), are used. The reason behind our choice these two methods is a comparative investigation of the RP-selection methods proposed in the literature. From the comparison we can see that ETC finds the most optimal position of the rendezvous point. The Hill-Climbing algorithm and the standard PIM-SM protocol with static RP-selection are used as a reference for comparison. Our algorithms result in a lower network load compared to RP-selection algorithm. However, they need additional control messages.
