Prison officer students’ perceptions of persons convicted of sexual crimes
2021
This study investigated the dimensionality of the Perception of Sex Offenders scale among prison officer students in Norway, and whether the students’ perceptions of this group of prisoners changed during their theoretical education and 1-year practical training. The target sample comprised a full cohort of freshman prison officer students, and two waves of data collection were conducted. The response rate was 94 percent ( n = 188) at time 1 (T1) and 64 percent ( n = 112) at time 2 (T2).

Rétablir l’ordre au comté de Bourgogne. L’action des réformateurs d’Eudes IV en 1337 et 1343-1344
2018
Eudes IV, à la fois duc et comte de Bourgogne entre 1330 et 1349, institua à deux reprises des réformateurs dans le comté, juges et enquêteurs chargés d’y corriger les abus des officiers du domaine. Il introduisit ainsi dans la province une pratique royale française, qu’il utilisa lui-même dans son duché. Le pouvoir judiciaire de ces commissaires s’exerçait principalement sur les prévôts, portés à tous les excès et pénalisés par de lourdes amendes. Il s’étendait également aux justiciables ordinaires et pouvait suppléer celui du Parlement. L’opération, non seulement financièrement très rentable pour le prince, revêtait aussi une forte charge symbolique, permettant à ce dernier d’affirmer son…
Oficery pol’skoj i litovskoj armii v 1717-1733 gg
2017
One of the elements of the process of modernization of the two armies of the Poland in the second and third decade of the eighteenth century was an attempt to improve the quality of the officers' staff.However, it took place only in the foreign part of the crown. In the years 1717-1724, its corps of officers was filled by a large group, over 100 officers, who possessed some professional experience of military service in the armies of Western Europe, primarily in Saxony. This undoubtedly contributed to the loyalty of this officer corps to the king, but did not lead to the strengthening of the military capabilities of the Polish army.

The Public Procurement of IS - A Process View
2014
This paper addresses a lack of research into public procurement of information systems, especially from a process focus. Three case studies from IS procurement in Norwegian municipalities are presented. By following one of the procurements in detail, the paper shows a process with a very strict phased division, an approach quite different from today's agile system development methods. The cases show the importance of the requirement specification which is completed before talking to vendors. They also show the need for clarifying the content of the offer, through a dialogue with the vendor. A number of critical incidents are identified, involving the interests of different stakeholders. Con…
Advance Directives. Comparison of current legislation within the European Union
2021
Abstract Advance Directives have been legally binding in Spain since the publication of Act 41/2002, of 14th November, which regulates patients’ rights to autonomy and obligations concerning clinical information and recording clinical information. However, the situation in each country of the European Union remains heterogeneous and unknown to most health care professionals. By collecting and studying the legislation on patients' rights in European Union countries we have made an updated comparison of the different features of Advance Directives in each country. Only 15 of the 28 European Union Countries have developed specific rules on advance directives which makes them legally binding in…
