Results: Revealed that there is lack of information in women treated with chemotherapy after mastectomy before
the implementation of the program regarding the side effects of chemotherapy treatment, and the symptoms
which appear on patients increase their anxiety and negative psychological symptoms but after the
implementation of the program the information of women become well and their psychological status improved.
Recommendations: the study recommended that the Institute and Hospital of Radiation and Nuclear Medicine
must include an instructional intervention program concerning the psychological health of women who are treated
with chemotherapy after mastectomy
Empirical research in the disciplines of art and design has started to escalate and gather consideration within the academic community over the past few decades. However, still, graphic design tends to be a topic extremely under-researched by scholarly persons. Profound research in the field of graphic design extends far beyond the works produced by the designer himself (Khoury, 2009, p.844). In order to develop a clear insight, one needs to delve deep into the subcategories that the diverse field of graphic design is comprised of, including illustration, typography, interaction design, branding and even the impact of notable, eminent institutes from around the world that have taken the budding artists for quite a long time (Walke

Show MoreUnlike fault diagnosis approaches based on the direct analysis of current and voltage signals, this paper proposes a diagnosis of induction motor faults through monitoring the variations in motor's parameters when it is subjected to an open circuit or short circuit faults. These parameters include stator and rotor resistances, self-inductances, and mutual inductance. The genetic algorithm and the trust-region method are used for the estimation process. Simulation results confirm the efficiency of both the genetic algorithm and the trust-region method in estimating the motor parameters; however, better performance in terms of estimation time is obtained when the trust-region method is adopted. The results also show the po
