Modeling of 137Cs migration in soils using an 80-year soil archive: role of fertilizers and agricultural amendments
2008
An 80-year soil archive, the 42-plot experimental design at the INRA in Versailles (France), is used here to study long-term contamination by 137Cs atmospheric deposition and the fate of this radioisotope when associated with various agricultural practices: fallow land, KCl, NH4(NO3), superphosphate fertilizers, horse manure and lime amendments. The pertinence of a simple box model, where radiocaesium is supposed to move downward by convectional mechanisms, is checked using samples from control plots which had been neither amended, nor cultivated since 1928. This simple model presents the advantage of depending on only two parameters: α, a proportional factor allowing the historical atmosph…
Agreements regarding the property relations of transnational couples and their effects under the application of the twin regulations
2021
It is a true and verifiable fact that the family institution has evolved over recent decades in Europe and throughout the world, but not uniformly or at the same time. This is because it is influenced by social and cultural connotations specific to each State. All of which are respected under EU Regulations 2016/1103 and 2016/1104. This work analyses the Twins Regulations, that gives the couples the possibility of choosing the jurisdiction (art. 7) and applicable legal system underpinning the property consequences of the marriage and registered partnerships (art. 22.1). However, we try to show you these rules absolute freedom of choice is not granted to the parties, because this freedom is …
Investigative decision making : the use of storytelling in e-learning for training police students
2019
Master's thesis Multimedia and Educational Technology MM500 - University of Agder 2019 Purpose–“E-learning is not intended to replace the traditional classroom setting, but to provide new opportunities for interaction and communication between students and instructor or teacher” (Zhang et al., 2004). The thesis aimed at discussing this phrase as the major problem statement.Design/methodology/approach–For this research, case study research method with the InstructionalDesign (ID) process was the chosen design and method for designing and consequently developing an e-learning solution. The case study research method with the ID process was found to support the design and development of a succ…

Prognostic Impact of let-7e MicroRNA and Its Target Genes in Localized High-Risk Intestinal GIST: A Spanish Group for Research on Sarcoma (GEIS) Study
2020
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that negatively regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level, and they have been described as being associated with tumor prognosis. Here, miRNA profiling was planned to explore new molecular prognostic biomarkers in localized intestinal high-risk GIST. Paraffin tumor blocks of 14 and 86 patients were used in the discovery and expansion sets, respectively. GeneChip miRNA v3.0 was employed to identify the miRNAs differentially expressed between relapsed and non-relapsed patient samples, which were validated in the expansion set, by qRT-PCR. RT2 Profiler PCR Array was used for the screening of let-7e targets. Expression levels were co…
Redistribution of total reactive nitrogen in the lowermost Arctic stratosphere during the cold winter 2015/2016
2021
During winter 2015/2016 the Arctic stratosphere was characterized by extraordinarily low temperatures in connection with the occurrence of extensive polar stratospheric clouds. From mid of December 2015 until mid of March 2016 the German research aircraft HALO (High Altitude and Long–Range Research Aircraft) was deployed to probe the lowermost stratosphere in the Arctic region within the POLSTRACC (Polar Stratosphere in a Changing Climate) mission. More than twenty flights have been conducted out of Kiruna/Sweden and Oberpfaffenhofen/Germany, covering the whole winter period. Besides total reactive nitrogen (NOy), observations of nitrous oxide, nitric acid, ozone and water were used f…
Optimal “anti-Bayesian” parametric pattern classification using Order Statistics criteria
2012
Published version of a chapter in the book: Progress in Pattern Recognition, Image Analysis, Computer Vision, and Applications. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-33275-3_1 The gold standard for a classifier is the condition of optimality attained by the Bayesian classifier. Within a Bayesian paradigm, if we are allowed to compare the testing sample with only a single point in the feature space from each class, the optimal Bayesian strategy would be to achieve this based on the (Mahalanobis) distance from the corresponding means. The reader should observe that, in this context, the mean, in one sense, is the most central point in the respective distrib…
An ontology-based decision support system for interventions based on monitoring medical conditions on patients in hospital wards
2014
Masteroppgave i Informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi IKT590 Universitetet i Agder 2014 In this project we present our research and implementation of an ontology-based clinical decision support system, which is supported by Sørlandet Sykehus Kristiansand. We discuss the generic technology of designing decision support systems as well as the practical implementation in our project. Firstly, we design the system structure using UML in Eclipse, based on which, the system is built in Protégé using ontology techniques. And then patients’ information and clinical rules are added in the system as the form of individuals. Finally, SPARQL query is used to query for the decisions based on the calc…
Nasjonalt innført! Nasjonalt behov? : Eksperter i et innbyggerpanels forventninger og opplevelser til Nasjonal kjernejournal – Et Delphistudie
2017
Masteroppgave i helse- og sosialinformatikk HSI500 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 Technology plays a part in nearly every aspect of life. Electronic self-services such as online banking, control of tax returns, or application for construction permits are daily events unfolding online. Health services are coming along, and their last addition is the national medical core journal. Based on numbers that indicate a low utilization, full adoption by the citizens of the solution seems absent. The purpose of this study is to research what expectations and experiences the citizens have to the national medical core journal. The issue for the study is, "What are the most important factors to contribute…
Digitale kommunikasjonsløsninger for samhandling mellom koronar bypassopererte pasienter og helsepersonell på spesialistsykehus etter utskrivelse til…
2016
Masteroppgave i helse- og sosialinformatikk- Universitetet i Agder, 2016 Background In Norway there are expectations of further development and strategic investment in information technology within the health care system. Persons who undergo a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery are in need of information and guidance related to problems that may arise after they have returned home from hospital. Purpose The purpose of this project was to explore to what extent digital communication solutions might meet the need for information and guidance from health personnel experienced by patients who had undergone a CABG surgery, after discharge from the specialist hospital. Additionally, it w…
