En kvalitativ studie om pårørendes erfaringer knyttet til etterlattesamtale med sykepleier fra en kommunal institusjon
2014
Masteroppgave i helsefag ME 518 Universitetet i Agder 2014 Background: There is a deficiency of bereavement support in Norwegian municipalities. The deficiency is shown in the existing literature of the relatives point of view, both national and internationally. The bereavement support is important forthe bereaved and the palliative care. The follow-up could have a positive effect onthe bereaved. The aim of the study was to gain knowledge about the family membersexperience with follow- up, conducted by a community nurse from a municipalinstitution.Method: The study used a qualitative, descriptive method. Qualitative interviews wereconducted with 7 relatives to earlier cancer patients from t…
Quantifying uncertainty in high resolution biophysical variable retrieval with machine learning
2022
The estimation of biophysical variables is at the core of remote sensing science, allowing a close monitoring of crops and forests. Deriving temporally resolved and spatially explicit maps of parameters of interest has been the subject of intense research. However, deriving products from optical sensors is typically hampered by cloud contamination and the trade-off between spatial and temporal resolutions. In this work we rely on the HIghly Scalable Temporal Adaptive Reflectance Fusion Model (HISTARFM) algorithm to generate long gap-free time series of Landsat surface reflectance data by fusing MODIS and Landsat reflectances. An artificial neural network is trained on PROSAIL inversion to p…
Oxidation of carboxylic acids in water at IrO2-Ta2O5 and Boron Doped Diamond anodes
2011
Abstract A detailed study was dedicated to the anodic oxidation of three carboxylic acids (namely, oxalic, formic and maleic acid) with the objective to evaluate in a systematic way the effect on the oxidation of carboxylic acids of numerous relevant parameters, including the nature and the concentration of the carboxylic acid, the alimentation regime (potentiostatic vs. amperostatic), the current density and the working potential values, the flowdynamic regime, the temperature and the nature of the electrode material. It was observed that the effect of some operative parameters strongly depends on the nature of the electrode and of the carboxylic acid. As an example, the efficacy of abatem…
On Martial Law at 50 : Fact-Checking the Marcos Story, Countering the EDSA History
2022
To fact-check and counter the historical denialism of the Marcos family, there is need for a counterfactual history analysis of the failings of the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution. nonPeerReviewed
Multitemporal Cloud Masking in the Google Earth Engine
2018
The exploitation of Earth observation satellite images acquired by optical instruments requires an automatic and accurate cloud detection. Multitemporal approaches to cloud detection are usually more powerful than their single scene counterparts since the presence of clouds varies greatly from one acquisition to another whereas surface can be assumed stationary in a broad sense. However, two practical limitations usually hamper their operational use: the access to the complete satellite image archive and the required computational power. This work presents a cloud detection and removal methodology implemented in the Google Earth Engine (GEE) cloud computing platform in order to meet these r…
Electrochemical oxidation of organics at metal oxide electrodes: The incineration of oxalic acid at IrO2-Ta2O5 (DSA-O2) anode
2008
Abstract The electrochemical incineration of oxalic acid (OA) at Ti/IrO2–Ta2O5 (DSA-O2) anode was investigated to find the influence of the operative parameters on the performances of the process. Polarization curves and chronoamperometric measurements indicate the probable occurrence of a direct electrochemical oxidation of OA at the surface of the DSA anode. In incineration electrolyses, the performances of the process in terms of OA conversion and current efficiency dramatically depend on the adopted operative conditions. Interestingly, very high OA removal and current efficiency were obtained when the process was performed at relatively high temperatures (50 °C) or in the presence of Na…
The Mediterranean Coast of Andalusia (Spain): Medium-Term Evolution and Impacts of Coastal Structures
2019
This paper shows coastal evolution along the Andalusia Region (Spain) and the impacts on it of coastal structures. The study area was divided into 47 units to calculate the erosion/accretion/stability (or evolution) rates by using the DSAS extension of ArcGIS software. Evolution rates were divided into different classes from &ldquo
Long-Term Hydrological Regime Monitoring of a Mediterranean Agro-Ecological Wetland Using Landsat Imagery: Correlation with the Water Renewal Rate of…
2021
The Natural Park of Albufera (Valencia, Spain) is one of the Spanish Mediterranean wetlands where rice is cultivated intensively. The hydrology of the Albufera Lake, located in the center, combines natural contributions with complex human management. The aim of our study was to develop a new methodology to accurately detect the volume of flood water in complex natural environments which experience significant seasonal changes due to climate and agriculture. The study included 132 Landsat images, covering a 15-year period. The algorithm was adjusted using the NDWI index and simultaneous measurements of water levels in the rice fields. The NDVI index was applied to monitor the cultivated area…

Estudio crítico de los índices de severidad y la superficie afectada por el incendio de Sierra de Luna (Zaragoza)
2017
[EN] To determine the area burned by fire and its associated severity related to this forest fire taken place in Sierra de Luna (Zaragoza), on July 4th, 2015, three spectral indices derived from Landsat-8 imagery have been calculated: NDVI, NBR and BAI. Comparing the results obtained from each of them, in a wildland fire with extensive crop areas surrounded by forested areas, it has been demonstrated that combination of ΔNBR and BAI substantially improves the calculation of the burned area, concerning both in its external perimeter and in the unburned zones inside of the perimeter. For severity calculation is proposed a new methodology based on before and after NBR differences and its BAI c…
