Computer systems also experience conflicts in form of bugs. Most naturally, before conflict of any sort occurs, be it ideas or perception, there must be some form of communication. Speech is one of the oldest and most natural means of information exchange between human beings. Humans speak and listen to each other in human-human interface in order to resolve certain conflicts, but computers speak to humans in a computer-human interface. The echo that comes out of a given speech might be understood or perceived differently when presented to different people. This paper is based on a comparative approach and focuses on given a run-down of the successes recorded in conflict resolution using human speech production in contrast to computer speech production. The author registers the conflict resolution practices in computers using a try-catch block pseudocode, its effectiveness in conflict resolution, plus the properties it lacks, and then, compares it to that of human functions as regards conflict resolution, in order to find a better approach. The methodology employed in this research is qualitative in nature. The author explores the stages and techniques of applying an artificial Intelligence system that scans through a given speech production and also how the brain processes information before it is finally voiced out.","PeriodicalId":410077,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of European Studies","volume":"148 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123894716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mind and body are integrated and inseparable. In cancer care, this approach has been actualized through the implementation of palliative care. The study aimed to determine holistic care issues faced by cervical cancer patients in Kenya. A cross-sectional study involving 334 cervical cancer patients was conducted in Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital (JOOTRH) in Kisumu from September 2014 to February 2015. Structured questionnaire, in-depth interview guide and key informant interview guide were used to collect data. Quantitative data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS) Version 20 at a statistical significance of P ≤ 0.05, descriptive statistics were performed. For qualitative data, the responses were transcribed verbatim and the content was then analyzed by searching for emerging themes on holistic care issues faced by cervical cancer patients. Qualitative data was presented in textual form with verbatim reports for illustrations. The key holistic care issues from the study were being bothered by discharge, bleeding and odor from vagina 260 (78%), being afraid to have sex 283 (85%), lack of access to counseling 314 (87%), minimal acceptance of their disease by family members 263 (79%), need for prayers from spiritual members 313 (94%) and having pain 324 (97%). The study concluded that cervical cancer patients are a facing a myriad of holistic care issues. Therefore there is a need for the ministry of health to develop interventions that can cushion them from such issues.","PeriodicalId":410077,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of European Studies","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124936759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, the study examines the impact of information literacy skill on students’ academic performance. To achieve the objectives, the study uses primary data collected from 325 students and employs several statistical and econometric methods. The study firstly uses information literacy skill index to measure the level of students’ information literacy skill and secondly, uses a linear regression estimated by OLS method to examine the impact of information literacy skill on students’ academic performance. The study finds that most of the students’ Grade Point Average (GPA) is medium standard which ranges between 3.01 and 3.50 and the level of information literacy skill is lower which ranges between 10 and 20. Besides, the study also finds that study hour, family income, class attendance, past academic result and information literacy skill are the significant factors which influence students’ academic performance. More specifically, the study finds that students’ GPA may be increased by 0.012 if students’ information literacy skill is increased by one unit. Therefore, the study suggests nursing students’ information literacy skill to improve the students’ academic performance.","PeriodicalId":410077,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of European Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129771742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis was based on two PPP projects implemented in the health care sector in Poland and it was preceded by a discussion of the concept of innovation and PPP. The article focuses on the analysis of PPP elements that may have an indirect or direct impact on stimulating innovation in the area of public sector activities. As a result of the analysis, it should be clearly stated that PPP should be inherently associated with perceiving innovation as a process of changes aimed at increasing efficiency. The use of PPP by the public sector may, among other things, enable wider access to a specific public service for the general public, improve the quality of services provided, or increase access to know-how in the area of modern technological solutions. It seems that there will be a gradual shift in the public sector’s perception of PPP, from a mere instrument enabling the implementation of public tasks to an instrument enabling changes in the public management model. This, in turn, should lead to a change in the entire public administration, so that it will be better equipped to face the challenges of modern times, and this certainly will not be possible without the innovativeness of the actions undertaken and the solutions applied.","PeriodicalId":410077,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of European Studies","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122261035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its objective is to identify the challenges and prospect of political decentralization on local participation. This study employed both primary and secondary data. In primary data questionnaires and interview were used to collect data and various literatures on political decentralization as well as local participation would be reviewed as secondary data were used. Sample respondent were taken as sample 18 from 45 public workers. Quantitative techniques of the data were analyzed using in percents and table while qualitative techniques of the data were analyzed in word and sentence the collected data from respondents; the major finding of the research assured challenges of political decentralization on local participation increases self-interest, lack of equal distribution, corruption, maladministration. Whereas, the negative impact of political decentralization was creating secession between the villages; disagreement among the employs; lack of the quality of work or unable to work similar function. Political decentralization is important for the improvement and the development of local participation because it give for the community to elect their own representative and to solve the local problem in short time. Political decentralization played greet role to give freedom for local community to participation on their own local political economic and social issue without any discrimination and the official and the people work together to solve their local problem.","PeriodicalId":410077,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of European Studies","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116690989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
