Pharmacists are commonly tasked with recommending the appropriate dietary supplement and advising patients of their correct safe use. Previous research, conducted on pharmacy students, showed that they did not always use evidence based sources information, personal identified as a significant predictor influencing decision to recommend supplement.To compare use, perceptions knowledge supplements pharmacists different years work experience explore factors could influence recommendation...

Purpose This paper aims to present a new numerical model for the stability and load‐bearing capacity computation of space reinforced‐concrete (R/C) frame structures. Both material geometric nonlinearities are taken into account. The R/C cross‐sections assumed undergo limited distortion under torsional action. Design/methodology/approach A simple, global discretization using beam‐column finite elements is preferred full, 3D elements. more acceptable from practical point view. composite...

The literature indicates that the limited pharmacovigilance knowledge demonstrated by healthcare professionals is main reason for underreporting of adverse drug reactions. Therefore, objective this study was to investigate pharmacy, dental and medical students’ attitudes education. cross-sectional questionnaire conducted at University Split School Medicine in November 2020. In total, 350 students participated study. results have shown pharmacy showed a significantly higher score compared (P...

Abstract This paper briefly presents a numerical model for the geometric and material nonlinear limit load analysis of steel space frames under large displacements. approach favors global discretization by 1D beam‐column finite elements over one with 3D elements. The cross‐section is discretized 2D so that fiber decomposition procedure can be applied to solve geometrical behavior biaxial moments axial forces. A local each beam element based on comparative body (i. e., prismatic using brick...

The response under various boundary conditions, mesh pattern refinement was analysed compared with other analytical results in order to illustrate accuracy applicability proposed models.

Presents a non‐linear numerical model for the computations of post‐tensioned plane structures. Generally curved prestressing tendons and reinforcing bars are embedded into concrete they modelled independently mesh using one‐dimensional curvilinear elements. Among losses which influence decrease in prestress force, it is possible to compute caused by friction between concrete, result from deformation anchorage zone. The computation structures organized phases: phase preceding (Phase I), II)...
