Botrening som bindeledd mellom institusjon og egen bolig - på vei til et rusfritt liv : En kvalitativ studie om muligheter og utfordringer i et botre…
2018
Masteroppgave psykisk helsearbeid ME504 - Universitetet i Agder 2018 Background: The transition from inpatient treatment to own accommodation, the so-called “backsliding zone”, should according to research and experience happen as a gradual process where each individual gets more increasing responsibility. In Tyrili the students are offered life skills training as a part of the course of the drug treatment. This offer contributes to strengthen each individual’s ability to master his or her own living- and life situation. The background of this study was to gain knowledge of how life skills training can contribute to a good transition for life after treatment. Problem statement and motivatio…
Evaluation of balance and fall risk in geriatric ward patients.
2021
Background. The physical changes inherent to aging can reduce autonomy and functional independence, which may directly or indirectly lead to falls. Aim of the study. The aim of this study was to assess the risk of falls in patients over 75 years of age. Materials and methods. Fifty elderly patients were examined. The subjects were divided into the three age groups: 75–79, 80–84 and 85–90 years old. The Berg Balance Scale was used to assess the risk of falls related to the balance skills. Results. The average Berg Balance Scale score in the 75–79 age group was 37.6 points; for 80–84, 33.53 points; and for 85–90, 27.81 points. The difference between the youngest and oldest age group was stati…
L’arbitrabilità delle azioni revocatorie e di inefficacia nella prospettiva del Codice della Crisi
2020
Tra i compiti del curatore vi è quello di ricostruire il patrimonio del debitore, al fine di garantire la par condicio creditorum. A questo scopo il curatore può proporre azioni dirette a far dichiarare la inefficacia degli atti compiuti dal debitore. Si tratta di azioni con presupposti ed effetti tra loro diversi; una azione è diretta a far dichiarare la inefficacia ex lege atti compiuti dal debitore; le altre sono lazione revocatoria ordinaria e l’azione revocatoria fallimentare. Per altro verso, il curatore potrebbe essere convenuto in azioni revocatorie dirette a fare dichiarare inefficaci atti di cui ha beneficiato il debitore prima del fallimento o la stessa curatela. In tutte queste …
L'Oscillation de Madden-Julian et la variabilité pluviométrique régionale en Afrique Subsaharienne
2007
The role of the Madden-Julian Oscillation ("MJO") on rainfall variability in Sub-Saharan Africa is examined, based on daily rain-gauge records and the NCEP-DOE AMIP-II reanalyses. The convective and dynamical signal associated with the MJO is extracted using two differing methodologies, the BMRC daily indices (Wheeler & Hendon 2004) on the one hand, and a Local Mode Analysis ("LMA", Goulet & Duvel 2000) on the other hand. The temporal variability of the MJO (in terms of period, amplitude, seasonality and location of the convective anomalies) is first analysed. Though the overall amplitude of the signal is not related to El Niño, the oscillations occurring under El Niño (La Niña) conditions …
Pluviométrie et circulation atmosphérique simulées par le modèle régional WRF en Afrique australe : sensibilité à la physique et variabilité interne
2011
This study evaluates the capability of the regional climate model WRF to simulate Southern African rainfall and associated atmospheric circulation, particularly over South Africa, a country covered by a dense network of in situ observations. Three sets of simulations are performed at a 35km horizontal resolution during the core of the austral rainy season (December to February: DJF) with 6-hourly forcings provided by ERA40 reanalysis. The first set quantifies sensitivity of the simulated climate to the parameterizations of atmospheric convection, planetary boundary layer and microphysics. The retained case study (DJF 1993-1994: DJF94) is representative of the South African rainfall climatol…
Azioni revocatorie e arbitrato
2020
Lo scritto studia il rapporto tra azione revocatoria ed arbitrato. Il curatore ha il compito di ricostruire il patrimonio del debitore, al fine di garantire la par condicio creditorum. A questo scopo il curatore può proporre azioni dirette a far dichiarare la inefficacia degli atti compiuti dal debitore. Si tratta di azioni con presupposti ed effetti tra loro diversi; una azione è diretta a far dichiarare la inefficacia ex lege atti compiuti dal debitore; le altre sono l’azione revocatoria ordinaria e l’azione revocatoria fallimentare. Per altro verso, il curatore potrebbe essere convenuto in azioni revocatorie dirette a fare dichiarare inefficaci atti di cui ha beneficiato il debitore prim…
La collection historique d’échantillons de sols de l’essai patrimonial des ‘42 parcelles’ (INRAE, Versailles) : une machine à remonter le temps...
2020
Following three previous papers (van Oort et al., 2016, 2017, 2020) dealing with current soil characteristics and geochemical budgets in surface horizons, as well as the impacts of fertilization in subsurface horizons in soils of INRAE’s long term bare fallow experiment (the 42-plots trial), we now present some chronological aspects of soil evolution at the soil’s surface since 1928. For that, we analyzed several series of about 15 samples from the historical sample archive for 10 representative treatments: fertilizers with acidifying effects (ammonium sulphate, ammonium phosphate), fertilizers with dispersive effects (sodium nitrate, sylvinite, and potassium chloride), superphosphate, amen…
A new Miocene deep-sea chiton and early evidence for Teredinidae-sustained wood-fall communities
2015
Deep-sea wood-falls are important biodiversity hot spots for insights on chemosynthesis-based communities. The study of deep-sea wood-fall-related palaeocommunities from the Neogene of north Italy shed light on interesting associations from the Miocene of Torrente Cinghio (Tortonian) and of Moncasale di Casina (Langhian). The most common components of this association are typical chemosynthetic/wood-fall molluscs, such as the gastropods Homalopoma sp. and Pseudonina bellardii, the bivalves Idas sp. and shipworms, and the chiton Leptochiton lignatilis n. sp., which belongs to a genus typical of recent sunken woods in tropical waters. The new species described is compared with other fossil an…
Insecticidal activity of Vip3Aa, Vip3Ad, Vip3Ae, and Vip3Af from Bacillus thuringiensis against lepidopteran corn pests.
2012
Vip3Aa, Vip3Ad, Vip3Ae, and Vip3Af proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis were tested for their toxicity against Spodoptera frugiperda and Agrotis ipsilon. Vip3Ad was non-toxic to the two species. Vip3Ae and Vip3Af were significantly more toxic than Vip3Aa against S. frugiperda, both as protoxins and as toxins. Against A. ipsilon, Vip3Ae protoxin was more toxic than Vip3Aa and Vip3Af protoxins. Purification by metal-chelate affinity chromatography significantly affected Vip3Ae toxicity against the two insect species.
