Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effects of simulation-based learning on the critical thinking disposition, communication confidence, and performance confidence in nursing care for children with fever. Method: A one-group pre- and post-test design was used. A total of 59 nursing students participated. Results: The results of this study showed that the effectiveness of simulation-based learning showed statistically significant improvement in critical thinking disposition, communication confidence and performance confidence. Conclusion: The findings indicate that simulation-based learning in the nursing care of children with fever may be an effective teaching-learning method for nursing students.

The objective of this study is to investigate how investors in the Stock Exchange of Thailand practically trade in response to a magnitude of profits and losses, given a discussion of the widely well-known behavioral explanation, so called as the disposition effect. We provide empirical evidence of an existence of the V-shaped disposition effect, which has been recently found in several advanced equity markets. By adopting the methodology suggested by An’s (2016) and Fama and Macbeth (1973), we document that stock return patterns in relation to aggregate unrealized gains and losses of investors are consistent with the V-shaped selling schedule, given an increase in unrealized gains and losses over the period of January 1996 to December 2015. The effect of unrealized gains is stronger than that of unrealized losses and this asymmetry underlies the existence of the V-shaped disposition effect in the Thai equity market. Interestingly, the effect of the V-shaped selling schedule is strongest over the short-term holding time horizon. Last but not the least, stocks for which investors have large unrealized gains and losses outperform in the following month and the long-short trading strategy, based on this premise, generates the average 1.7% monthly (equivalent to 20.0% per year) abnormal return.
