In this study, we explore capsule networks with dynamic routing for text classification. We propose three strategies to stabilize the dynamic routing process to alleviate the disturbance of some noise capsules which may contain "background" information or have not been successfully trained. A series of experiments are conducted with capsule networks on six text classification benchmarks. Capsule networks achieve competitive results over the compared baseline methods on 4 out of 6 datasets, which shows the effectiveness of capsule networks for text classification. We additionally show that capsule networks exhibit significant improvement when transfer single-label to multi-label text classification over the competitors. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work that capsule networks have been empirically investigated for text modeling 1 .

Aim(s) To identify competencies of military nurse managers and develop a unifying framework of military nurse managers’ competencies. Background Military nurse managers shoulder multiple responsibilities because of duality roles, and they should possess competencies that enable them to manage human and material resources during peacetime and wartime. Therefore, nursing management within military context is demanding, such that a comprehensive understanding of their competencies is needed for effective military nursing management. Although relevant studies have focused on different military branches and different levels of managers, there is no standard evaluation framework. Evaluation A scoping review of studies focusing on competencies of military nurse managers from seven databases was carried out. Key issues Nine studies were included in this review, and a framework consisting of six domains of military nurse managers’ competencies was identified: clinical expertise, role model, leadership competencies, human competencies, financial competencies and deployment competencies. Conclusion Existing knowledge of competencies of military nurse managers is limited, and a comprehensive understanding of this topic can provide direction for future work. Implications for Nursing Management Military nurse managers play substantial roles within the military nursing context. A unifying framework can facilitate personnel recruitment and competency measurement, as well as training protocol development.
