Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions01:29

Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions

3.4K
Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:

Matter: Pure Substances and Mixtures
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures. 
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated. 
A mixture is composed of two or...

Classifying Matter by State

104.6K
Chemistry is the study of matter and the changes it undergoes. Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. Matter is all around us; the air, water, soil, mountains, even our bodies are all examples of matter. Matter is divided into three states — solid, liquid, and gas — that are commonly found on earth. The fourth state of matter, plasma, occurs naturally in the interiors of stars.

How Data are Classified: Numerical Data00:59

How Data are Classified: Numerical Data

38.4K
Data that are countable or measurable in specific units are called numerical or quantitative data. Quantitative data are always numbers. Quantitative data are the result of counting or measuring the attributes of a population. Amount of money, pulse rate, weight, number of people living in a town, and number of students who opt for statistics are examples of quantitative data.
Quantitative data may be either discrete or continuous. All quantitative data that take on only specific numerical...

How Data are Classified: Categorical Data

45.1K
A variable, usually notated by capital letters such as X and Y, is a characteristic or measurement that can be determined for each member of a population. Data are the actual values of variables. They may be numbers, or they may be words. Datum is a single value.
Data are classified based on whether they are measurable or not. Categorical data cannot be measured; instead, it can be divided into categories. For example, if Y denotes a person's party affiliation, some examples of Y include...

What is Natural Selection?01:32

What is Natural Selection?

129.8K
Natural selection is an evolutionary process in which individuals with survival-promoting traits reproduce at higher rates. These favorable traits become more common within a population or species. Naturally selected traits initially arise via random genetic mutations. In order for selection to occur, there must be variation within a population, the trait controlling the variation must be heritable, and there must be an evolutionary advantage for variation in the trait.

Area of Science:

  • Population genetics
  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Identifying selective sweeps is challenging in populations with complex demographic histories.
  • Previous methods like S/HIC required phased genomic data, limiting their applicability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a deep learning approach for detecting selective sweeps using unphased genotypes.
  • To improve the accuracy and accessibility of selective sweep identification in population genetics.

Main Methods:

  • A deep learning variant of the S/HIC method, termed diploS/HIC, was developed.
  • The method utilizes unphased genotypes to classify genomic windows for selective sweeps.

Main Results:

  • diploS/HIC accurately classifies genomic windows using unphased genotypes.
  • The method demonstrates significant power even with moderate to small sample sizes.

Conclusions:

  • diploS/HIC offers a powerful and more accessible tool for identifying selective sweeps.
  • This advancement aids in understanding evolutionary processes in diverse populations.
