    The particularity of E- Assessment is that it allows to combine the assessment of personality with that of personal and interpersonal values. It is this joint assessment that makes all the richness and interest of digital assessment for human resources professionals in terms of recruitment, career management, professional orientation and assessment of soft skills.The platforms dedicated to evaluation cover several families: behavioral tests or personality tests, aptitude tests and value questionnaires. They have the particularity to measure with a certain precision dimensions clearly denied by the editor, in connection with scientific concepts. Then they statistically compare the results to a standard and a reference population. In order to assess the impact of E- Assessment t, we opted during this study at SOSIE 2nd Generation for a digital HR tool that meets the current requirements of human resources professionals for assessment in international contexts. Indeed, the work was carried out on the content of the items, the dimensions, the descriptive and interpretation reports through a reading in terms of percentiles, common behavior styles for a population of Moroccan professionals operating in various sectors of activity.</p

    learning clinical reasoning skills in nursing education is a challenge for teachers and students. This study investigated the effects of a blended learning program on the acquisition of clinical reasoning skills via a blood transfusion course. The study employed a two group randomised controlled design with an experimental group (group 1, 16 students) and a control group (group 2, 16 students) recruited from a population of second-year nursing students at the Mohamed VI University of Health Sciences in Casablanca, Morocco, during the 2018–2019 academic year. The experimental group received blended instruction, while the control group received traditional classroom instruction over four sessions. One month after the experiment, a post-test was conducted with both groups using 'key-feature questions' that included four clinical situations and 30 questions. The mean scores of the two groups were compared to assess the degree of acquisition of clinical reasoning skills. The mean post-test score was significantly higher in the experimental group than the control group (the p-value of the Mann-Whitney Test is less than 0.05). Moreover, a statistically significant correlation was detected between students' clinical reasoning scores and their theoretical examination marks. These results suggest that blended learning is useful for enhancing the clinical reasoning skills of nursing students, at least in the short term. Thus, it seems appropriate to develop more blended courses and integrate this approach into nursing education programs

    Hybrid halide perovskites are semicondoctor materials with desirable characteristics of color-tunable and narrow-band emissions for lighting and display technology. They have size-tunable emissions due to quantum size effects. In this work, the Formamidinium Lead Bromide perovskite CH(NH2)2PbBr3 nanoplatelets (NPLs) were successfully synthesized by ligand-assisted reprecipitation method under room condition, in which the emission color-tunability was realized via quantum size effect without anion–halide mixing, by varying the oleylamine to oleic acid volume ratio as surfactants, while the total amount of oleic acid remained unchanged. We are able to adjust the optical proprieties of FAPbBr3 NPLs and, consequently, their structural properties. The obtained colloidal solutions of FAPbBr3 nanoplatelets with uniform size exhibited different photoluminescence wavelengths covering the spectral region from 440 to 525 nm. The maximum absolute PL quantum yield (PLQY) of the green emission was measured to be as high as 80% at room temperature. The size of FAPbBr3 NPLs could be effectively tuned from 15.5 to 38.1 nm with an increase in the oleylamine and oleic acid ligands ratio

    Objectives: The objectives of this study are to raise awareness among future radiology technicians regarding risk management in medical imaging and to measure their satisfaction with their participation in simulation sessions focused on the management of emergencies in radiology. Method: A prospective research-action study was conducted at the simulation center of the Institut Supérieur des Professions Infirmières et Techniques de Santé of Agadir, with radiology technician students enrolled in the 5th semester.A simulation workshop applied to the theme "Risk management in radiology related to an immediate hypersensitivity reaction to iodinated contrast products (ICP) used in CT" was organized over three days.Results: Sixteen radiology students participated in the three simulation scenarios. The evaluation of the technical skills of the participants in this simulation workshop revealed an insufficient mastery of these emergencies. Indeed, during the first simulation session concerning the management of an immediate hypersensitivity reaction to iodinated contrast products in second-grade CT, the average score for the session was 06.39/20 (3.25-9). In addition, the mean score for the second simulation session applied to cardiac arrest management was 06.03/20 (2.25- 8.75).Regarding the error room scenario, (50%) of the participants were satisfied with the relevance of the errors implemented in this simulation session, (37.5%) very satisfied, and (75%) judged the simulation as an effective approach to risk management.Conclusion: Teaching by simulation applied to the management of medical imaging emergencies proves to be a relevant pedagogical method for building a base of skills for future radiology professionals

    The phosphate Na2FeSn(PO4)3, obtained by solid state reaction, was found to be isotypic with Na2CrTi(PO4)3, with space group R-3c and unit cell parameters a = 8.6617(2)Å, c=22.0161(7)A, V = 1430.47(5)Å3, Z=6. The structural parameters refined using Rietveld method showed that the Na+ ions occupy totally the M1 sites and partially the M2 sites and sharing faces with the [Sn/FeO6] octahedra. The presence of the unique valence of ferric iron in the reported phosphate was confirmed using UV-visible diffuse-reflectance spectroscopy, magnetic measurements and Mössbauer spectroscopy

    This study reports the effect of three new titanium phosphates Li0.5M0.25Ti2(PO4)3 (where M = Mn, Co and Ni) on the protective properties of alkyd resin films applied on carbon steel substrate in 3.5% sodium chloride solution. The performance of the coatings was evaluated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, oxygen and water permeability and pull-off adhesion measurements. It was found that titanium phosphates improve the corrosion resistance as well as the adhesion strength of alkyd resin coatings. The incorporation of titanium phosphates into the alkyd resin coating significantly enhances the pore resistance of the alkyd resin and decreases the coating capacitance. Lower water and oxygen permeability were observed for alkyd resin containing titanium phosphates, confirming formation of a protective layer on the surface. The order of anticorrosion performance of the three coatings was as follows: Li0.5Mn0.25Ti2(PO4)3 > Li0.5Co0.25Ti2(PO4)3 > Li0.5Ni0.25Ti2(PO4)3

    BaCO3, SrCO3, NiO, MoO3 precursors were used as starting materials in the synthesis of double perovskite Ba1/5Sr4/5NiMoO6, and their crystal structure at room tempertaure was solved using X-ray powder diffraction. The Rietveld analysis of X–ray powder diffraction patterns show that both compounds adopt a tetragonal structure with space group I4/m, with unit cell parameters a= 5.58537(1) Å, c=7.9066(2) Å. The structure can be represented as a three-dimensional network of alternating NiO6 and MoO6 octahedra, with Ba and Sr atoms occupying the interstitial spaces. Temperature-induced phase transitions of Ba1/5Sr4/5NiMoO6 were investigated by mean of Raman spectroscopy technique at high temperature up to 392 °C. remarkable in the behaviuor of temperature dependence of the modes has been interpreted as a phase transition from the tetragonal (I4/m) to the cubic () structure

    Iron titanium phosphates as high-specific-capacity electrode materials for lithium ion batteries

    Two iron titanium phosphates, Fe0.5TiOPO4 and Fe0.5Ti2(PO4)(3), were prepared, and their crystal structures and electrochemical performances were compared. The electrochemical measurements of Fe0.5TiOPO4 as an anode of a lithium ion cell showed that upon the first discharge down to 0.5 V, the cell delivered a capacity of 560 mA h/g, corresponding to the insertion of 5 Li's per formula unit Fe0.5TiOPO4. Ex-situ XRD reveals a gradual evolution of the structure during cycling of the material, with lower crystallinity after the first discharge cycle. By correlating the electrochemical performances with the structural studies, new insights are achieved into the electrochemical behaviour of the Fe0.5TiOPO4 anode material, suggesting a combination of intercalation and conversion reactions. The Nasicon-type Fe0.5Ti2(PO4)(3) consists of a three-dimensional network made of corners and edges sharing [TiO6] and [FeO6] octahedra and [PO4] tetrahedra leading to the formation of trimmers [FeTi2O12]. The first discharge of lithium ion cells based on Fe0.5Ti2(PO4)(3) materials showed electrochemical activity of Ti4+/Ti3+ and Fe2+/Fe-0 couples in the 2.5-1 V region. Below this voltage, the discharge profiles are typical of phosphate systems where Li3PO4 is a product of the electrochemical reaction with lithium; moreover, the electrolyte solvent is reduced. An initial capacities as high as 1100 mA h g (1) can be obtained at deep discharge. However, there is an irreversible capacity loss in Fe0.5Ti2(PO4)(3) due to the occurrence of insulating products as Li3PO4 and a solid electrolyte interface. (C) 2013 Elsevier B. V.
