Critical thinking is one of most highly valued educational outcomes in the professional education of healthcare professionals. Educationalists tend to emphasize the importance of teaching future healthcare professionals how to think, rather than the need to improve the contents of curricula. This view stems from the fact that the nursing process is highly concerned with problem-solving and decision-making-related activity that requires acquisition and continuous improvement of related skills (Yilldrim, Ozkahraman &Karabudak, 2011, p.174) As nursing education is directly related to critical thinking theory, tparticularly the development of these skills is essential for curricula in nursing educational instituions (Yilldrim&Ozkahraman, 2011, ...

- Why are mutations at D185, D186 and D110 are so detrimental to RT activity? (15 Points) Mutations at D185, D186 and D110 are very detrimental to RT activity owing to the fact that the three carboxylate residues have been documented to participate in some forms of physiological processes and metal coordination function that is fundamentally required in the binding of deoxyrobonucleotide substrates to the enzyme. And so, when these subunits are interfered as a result of mutation then the fore mentioned biological process are essentially incapacitated. Furthermore, the region was also subcloned due to mutagenesis hence the high ...

Introduction

Research in nursing adopts two primary approaches; qualitative and quantitative. Quantitative research is usually objective, formal and deductive. Alternatively, qualitative research is subjective, informal and inductive.

Designing, prototyping and construction

Designing activities in projects starts immediately once some information has been acquired by the design team. It is an iterative process which involves constructing, evaluation and reconstructing the design ideas of the designers to match the requirements of the users. This process of creating interactive versions of ideas either through the use of cardboards, paper illustrations or software programs to model them until such time the whole project is constructed is called prototyping and construction. Designing can mean starting from scratch or modification of an existing design to improve its functionality. (Sharp, Rogers & Preece, 2007)

Prototyping is the process ...
