For this end, we not only analyse in details the resulting visualization, but we also conduct a survey. We asked a panel of people with cartographic training to evaluate the extent to which each method improves the readability of the original map and then to pick the most appropriate one. The greyscale method renders the symbolisation less prominent and it is practical because…

Differences in fatigue levels have been demonstrated based on the RN’s years of experience (Barker and Nussbaum, 2011b). Nurses with more work experience may have a distinctive outlook and perspective on coping with fatigue versus a nurse with limited experience. Thus, RNs who were recruited involved nurses with less than two years of experience…
In the next step, the graded response IRT model will be analyzed again for each identified domain, but without the excluded items, and the model fit statistics will be assessed. If the model has a good fit statistics, the best item for each domain will be selected according to the distribution of the threshold values across the latent scale and the discrimination value; item that has threshold values cross the whole latent scale and high discrimination value will be selected. Sample Size Graded…
