The parent-nurse relationship in the neonatal intensive care unit context - closeness and emotional involvement
2008
Aim and background: Family-centred care, which acknowledges parents as partners in care, is a desirable and essential part of neonatal nursing. There has been extensive research on parents’ experiences of parenting in neonatal intensive care units (NICU), but there is little research on nurses’ experiences of being in these enduring close relationships. The aim of this paper is to explore parents’ and nurses’ experiences of the close parent–nurse relationship when a premature child is hospitalized. Method: The design was exploratory with a hermeneutic approach. The methods used were participant observation and in-depth interviews with six mothers, six fathers and six nurses in a Norwegian…
A new proposed cloud computing based architecture for space ground data systems
2018
International audience; Many companies decided to move towards the cloud computing technology in order to manage, monitor and explore huge space data amount in the space ground data systems. The corresponding transition adaptation needs a study to classify each space related service in the appropriate cloud computing service model layer; SaaS, PaaS and IaaS. In this paper, we specify a representation of proposed cloud computing based ground data system architecture for earth observation missions. The proposed architecture takes into consideration the collaboration aspect between multiple space agencies. We evaluate the time, storage and processing performance when using the cloud computing …

Experiences faced by next of kin during their older family members’ transition into long-term care in a Norwegian nursing home
2013
Aims and objectives To describe and explore experiences of next of kin during the older persons’ transition into long-term care. Background Moving into long-term care is a challenge for both resident and next of kin. Next of kin experience transitions at the same time as they play significant parts in their family members’ transition into long-term care placement. Design Constructivist hermeneutical design. Methods Ten next of kin to newly admitted eight residents were recruited by purposeful sampling and interviewed. Periodic participant observation periods following new residents on arrival day and the first week after admission and some written documentation were the backdrops to the int…
The Flipped Classroom: a Way to Decrease Boredom and Encourage Student Motivation. La classe capovolta: un modo per diminuire la noia ed incoraggiare…
2016
Recenti studi hanno mostrato l'effetto della noia sul successo. L'esperienza della noia vissuta da molti studenti, insieme con i suoi effetti deleteri, implica chiaramente che educatori ed insegnanti, in quanto responsabili della progettazione di ambienti di apprendimento, prestino maggiore attenzione a questa emozione. Questo contributo intende esaminare l'impatto del modello di insegnamento capovolto sul processo di apprendimento dello studente. Nella ricerca sono state utilizzate differenti metodologie, tra cui un inventario sulla percezione degli studenti e l'osservazione delle pratiche di insegnamento, per indagare se ed in che modo gli insegnanti riescono a gestire la noia in modo div…
Search for gamma ray bursts with the ARGO-YBJ detector in scaler mode
2009
We report on the search for Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) in the energy range 1-100 GeV in coincidence with the prompt emission detected by satellites using the Astrophysical Radiation with Ground-based Observatory at YangBaJing (ARGO-YBJ) air shower detector. Thanks to its mountain location (Yangbajing, Tibet, P.R. China, 4300 m a.s.l.), active surface (about 6700 m**2 of Resistive Plate Chambers), and large field of view (about 2 sr, limited only by the atmospheric absorption), the ARGO-YBJ air shower detector is particularly suitable for the detection of unpredictable and short duration events such as GRBs. The search is carried out using the "single particle technique", i.e. counting all the …

Updated CMB and x- and gamma-ray constraints on Majoron dark matter
2013
The Majoron provides an attractive dark matter candidate, directly associated with the mechanism responsible for spontaneous neutrino mass generation within the standard model SU(3)(c) circle times SU(2)(L) circle times U(1)(Y) framework. Here we update the cosmological and astrophysical constraints on Majoron dark matter coming from the cosmic microwave background and a variety of x- and gamma-ray observations.
Calibration of advanced Virgo and reconstruction of the gravitational wave signal h(t) during the observing run O2
2018
In August 2017, Advanced Virgo joined Advanced LIGO for the end of the O2 run, leading to the first gravitational waves detections with the three-detector network. This paper describes the Advanced Virgo calibration and the gravitational wave strain h(t) reconstruction during O2. The methods are the same as the ones developed for the initial Virgo detector and have already been described in previous publications, this paper summarizes the differences and emphasis is put on estimating systematic uncertainties. Three versions of the h(t) signal have been computed for the Virgo O2 run, an online version and two post-run reprocessed versions with improved detector calibration and reconstruction…
