Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a Clinical Ladder System (CLS) model for staff nurses working in inpatient units of tertiary care hospitals in Korea. Methods: The study was carried out in 2 steps. First, a nursing competence evaluation scale was developed. Second, evaluation of the nursing competences, qualifications, and professional activities of 230 nurses from five tertiary care hospitals was done by 49 head nurses between Feb. and Dec., 2014. Nurses were selected by head nurses according to their clinical experience and expected behavioral characteristics at each level of the ladder. Results: A nursing competence scale was developed consisting of 5 subcategories (clinical practice, ethical practice, education, leadership, and professional development) and 11 elements, and 5 levels of behavioral indicators for each element. Cronbach's alphas for the entire tool and subcategories were over .853 and stability of the scale was confirmed. There were significant differences in nursing competence according to the 5 levels of the ladder. Conclusion: The findings indicate that the proposed CLS model with a standard score for nursing competence, recommended or obligatory criteria for qualifications and professional activities provides a good tool for developing nurses' competences and retaining excellent nurses in clinical practice.

The effectiveness of joint operations depends on Jointness based on interoperable elements of participating forces. Many specialists have actively done research studies on interoperability measurement models with the goal of straightforward way of measuring and then have improved the interoperability of elements based on DOTMLPF-p (Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership & Education, Personnel, Facilities, Policy) in the forces. After the survey of 16 interoperability measurement models, we have concluded that most of them applied only a small portion of DOTMLPF-p elements explicitly or all portions of DOTMLPF-p elements implicitly. In this study, we propose a conceptual interoperability measurement model for applying all DOTMLPF-p elements explicitly. And it can evaluate not only the level of interoperability among forces but also level of jointness for joint operations.

As the level of competition has increased in the construction management market, it becomes a critical issue for CM firms to secure competitive edges. The objective of the study is to investigate elements of competitive strategy as perceived by CM firms and to discuss key features and implications. Michael Porter's Competitive Strategy Model was used as a framework to analyse the elements under three strategy categories. A major finding includes that Differentiation Strategy is generally perceived most important strategy category but, depending on the group to which a CM firm belongs, there exist a gap in the perception. However, regardless of the group, Cost Leadership is commonly considered least important strategy category. In particular, lowest-bidding strategy element showed the least importance. Understanding CM firms' perceptions on elements of competitive strategy provides an insight into CM firms' current strategy directions and can be useful for future tuning in a firms' own strategy.

In the international businesses human resource elements acquired in different countries might have different values in varied industries due to the different quality of education and experiences in the original countries. Using selection models to evaluate expected values in earnings equation of human resource elements such as education and experiences etc. acquired in sending countries, system equations are expanded to examine also the values of science and engineering degrees in technology jobs with selectivity bias correction. This paper used the US census survey data of 2015 on earnings, academic degrees, occupations etc. The US has long maintained the policy of accepting more STEM workers than any other countries and helped maintaining own technological leadership. Assuming per capita GDP gap between the sending country and the US downgrades immigrant human resource quality, it rarely affects occupational selection but depresses earnings on average by two or more years' worth of education. Immigrant quality index in the sense of GDP gap appears to be a valid tool to assess the expected earnings of the worker with. Engineering degrees increase significantly the probability of selecting not only engineering jobs but also general management jobs, as well as increasing the expected earning additionally over nine years'worth of education. Getting a technology job is additionally worth about four years of education. Economics and business degrees are worth additionally almost six years of education but humanities degrees depress expected earnings. Since years after immigration does not very fast enhance earnings capacity, education level and English language ability might be more useful criteria to expect better future earnings by.

High-rise structures are considered as symbols of economic power and leadership. Developing countries like India are also emerging as centers for new high-rise buildings (HRB). As the land is expensive and scarce everywhere, construction of tall buildings becomes the best solution to resolve the problem. But, as building's height increases, its stiffness reduces making it more susceptible to vibrations due to wind and earthquake forces. Several systems are available to control vibrations or deflections; however, outrigger systems are considered to be the most effective systems in improving lateral stiffness and overall stability of HRB. In this paper, a 42-storey RCC HRB is analyzed to determine the optimum position of outriggers of different materials. The linear static analysis of the building is performed with and without the provision of virtual outriggers of reinforced cement concrete (RCC) and pre-stressed concrete (PSC) at different storey levels by response spectrum method using finite element based Extended3D Analysis of building System (ETABS) software for determining responses viz. storey displacement, base shear and storey drift for individual models. The maximum allowable limit and percentage variations in earthquake responses are verified using the guidelines of Indian seismic codes. Results indicate that the outriggers contribute in significantly reducing the storey displacement and storey drift up to 28% and 20% respectively. Also, it is observed that the PSC outriggers are found to be more efficient over RCC outriggers. The optimum location of both types of outriggers is found to be at the mid height of building.
