Control of CaCO3 Crystallization by Demixing of Monolayers

2006

In this paper we describe how to template a demixed monolayer into a spatially patterned inorganic replica. For this purpose a new amphiphilic monomer was synthesized which can be polymerized both in solution and in the monolayer of a Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) trough. Since it inhibits the crystallization of CaCO3, it can be used--in combination with stearic acid (nucleation-promotor)--to control CaCO3 crystals formed under the monolayer. Investigations of the two-component monolayer (Langmuir isotherms and AFM measurements of transferred films) show--in the biphasic region--demixing in solid analogue stearic acid domains and the liquid analogue phase of the monomer. Crystallization of CaCO3 s…

Samarbeid om studentenes læringssituasjoner i praksis : Høgskolen i Agder og Avdeling 3C, SSHF : studieåret 2005/2006

2007

Rapporten presenterer planleggingen og evalueringen av et prosjekt gjennomført i forbindelse med praksis i somatisk sykehus i sykepleierutdanningen ved Høgskolen i Agder. I prosjektperioden ble det gjennomført både fortløpende evalueringer og avsluttende evalueringer av erfaringene som ble meldt tilbake fra studenter og ansatte ved avdelingen, på denne formen for organisering av praksisperioden. Prosjektet har vært et samarbeidsprosjekt mellom Høgskolen i Agder, Fakultet for helse- og idrettsfag, sykepleierutdanningen og SSHF, Arendal, Post 3 C.

Postgraduate Students’ Experience of Using a Learning Management System to Support Their Learning: A Qualitative Descriptive Study

2021

Introduction Educational institutions worldwide have implemented learning management systems (LMSs) to centralise and manage learning resources, educational services, learning activities and institutional information. LMS has mainly been used by teachers as storage and transfer of course material. To effectively utilise digital technologies in education, there is a need for more knowledge of student experiences with digital technology, such as LMSs and especially regarding how LMSs can contribute to student engagement and learning. Objective This study aimed to gain knowledge about postgraduate nursing students’ experiences with the use of LMS in a subject in an advanced practice nursing ma…

Triiodothyronine accelerates the synthesis of synapsin I in developing neurons from fetal rat brain cultured in a synthetic medium.

1990

The effect of Triiodothyronine (T3) on Synapsin I appearance in rat cortical neurons has been investigated in vitro. Neuronal cultures from 16-day-old fetal rat brain grown in the absence of T3, express immunohystochemically detectable Synapsin I at the 14th day in vitro. The addition of the hormone to the culture medium determines an early (at the 7th day in vitro) appearance of fluorescent dots specific for Synapsin I. © 1990 Plenum Publishing Corporation.

Activation of complement by the alternative pathway as a factor in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease.

1976

Dental plaque and a bacterium, Actinomyces viscosus, isolated from plaque that can reproduce periodontal disease in germ-free rats, are activators of complement by the alternative pathway. It is suggested that this process is involved in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory periodontal disease.

The Training and Development of Elite Sprint Performance: an Integration of Scientific and Best Practice Literature.

2019

Despite a voluminous body of research devoted to sprint training, our understanding of the training process leading to a world-class sprint performance is limited. The objective of this review is to integrate scientific and best practice literature regarding the training and development of elite sprint performance. Sprint performance is heavily dependent upon genetic traits, and the annual within-athlete performance differences are lower than the typical variation, the smallest worthwhile change, and the influence of external conditions such as wind, monitoring methodologies, etc. Still, key underlying determinants (e.g., power, technique, and sprint-specific endurance) are trainable. In th…

User involvement in the implementation of welfare technology in home care services: The experience of health professionals—A qualitative study

2020

Aims and objectives: The aim of this study is to learn more about factors that promote or inhibit user involvement among health professionals when implementing welfare technology in home care services. Background: It is a health policy goal to increase the use of welfare technology in order to address some of the challenges that healthcare services are facing. Health professionals' involvement is important for the successful implementation of welfare technology in home care services. Design: The study has an explorative and descriptive longitudinal design based on a qualitative approach. Five focus group interviews were conducted with 16 nurses and assistant nurses from three different muni…

Citizen-Patient Involvement in the Development of mHealth Technology: Protocol for a Systematic Scoping Review

2020

Background The development of mobile technology for information retrieval and communication, both at individual and health organizational levels, has been extensive over the last decade. Mobile health (mHealth) technology is rapidly adapting to the health care service contexts to improve treatment, care, and effectiveness in health care services. Objective The overall aim of this scoping review is to explore the role of citizen-patient involvement in the development of mHealth technology in order to inform future interventions. By identifying key characteristics of citizen-patient involvement in system development, we aim to improve digital communication and collaboration between health ca…
