This paper investigates the concept of empathy, a core element of all helping relationships. A discussion of its prevalence in the nursing literature is traced, before a discussion ensues as to whether it is a naturally acquired ability which develops with maturity, or whether it is a skill that can be taught and learnt. It is concluded that empathy remains a poorly defined, multidimensional concept which still remains not fully identified.
This article traces the development of social learning theory over the last 30 years, relating the developments to clinical nursing practice. Particular attention is focused on the contribution of Albert Bandura, the American psychologist, and his work on modelling.
Setting and optimizing the moulding process for a new mould tool is critical to output efficiency. Using suitable statistical tools can help increase the number of components the equipment makes in an hour and improve the quality by reducing dimensional variation. This article looks at new methods that are turning a traditionally hit-and-miss endeavour into one that is logical and verifiable.
