Lokal iverksettelse av nasjonal folkehelsepolitikk : lokale beslutningstageres forståelse av styringssignalene i nasjonal folkehelsepolitikk
2016
Masteroppgave folkehelsevitenskap ME516 - Universitetet i Agder 2016 The purpose of this study is to investigate the local implementation of national public health policies. Attention focus on the early phase of the prosess of implementation, and exactly towards the local decisionmakers and how they understand the national public health policies. The study are based on a quality design were case-study are used as a strategy of research. The methods used are quality research interview. The Mayors and the Chief Municipal Executive from seven collaborative Municipalities are the strategic selection who were interviewed. The results end the conclusion of the study: The results in this study sho…
Technics Amélioration for geo-localization in wsn via smart computing and real time application
2022
New technologies exploiting digital information acquisition by radio frequency techniques are now commonly used in various practical fields. They are most often used to measure a variety of physical variables such as temperature, humidity, speed, etc. and are gathered under the name of Wireless Sensor Networks “WSN”. For this variant of applications, the accurate location of connected sensor nodes remains an important issue for researchers and industrial applications. Indeed, existing localization algorithms can be classified into two categories known as « range-based » and « range-free ». Range-based localization systems are characterized by major drawbacks. The first one is the cost of th…
Design, implementation, and evaluation of the adolescents and surveillance system for the obesity prevention project
2016
Abstract The Adolescents Surveillance System for Obesity prevention (ASSO) Project aimed at developing standardized and web-based tools for collecting data on adolescents’ obesity and its potential determinants. This has been implemented and piloted in the local area of Palermo city, Italy. The aim of the present study is to provide an overview of the Project's design, implementation, and evaluation, highlighting all the aspects for a potential scale-up of the surveillance system on the whole national territory and abroad, as a sustainable and effective source of data. The overall structure and management, the ASSO-toolkit, the ASSO-NutFit software, and all developed and used procedures for…
Transcultural adaption and preliminary evaluation of “understanding low back pain” patient education booklet
2019
Abstract Background Low back pain (LBP) is the number one cause of disability globally. LBP is a symptom associated with biological, psychological and social factors, and serious causes for pain are very rare. Unhelpful beliefs about LBP and inappropriate imaging are common. Practitioners report pressure from patients to provide inappropriate imaging. A recently developed patient education and management booklet, ‘Understanding low back pain’, was designed to target previously identified barriers for reducing inappropriate imaging. The booklet includes evidence-based information on LBP and supports communication between patients and practitioners. Our aim was to 1) describe the translation …
Testing physiologic monitor alarm customization software to reduce alarm rates and improve nurses’ experience of alarms in a medical intensive care u…
2018
BACKGROUND:Clinicians in intensive care units experience alarm fatigue related to frequent false and non-actionable alarms produced by physiologic monitors. To reduce non-actionable alarms, alarm settings may need to be customized for individual patients; however, nurses may not customize alarms because of competing demands and alarm fatigue. OBJECTIVE:To examine the effectiveness and acceptance of physiologic monitor software to support customization of alarms. METHODS:This pre/post intervention study was conducted in a 56-bed medical intensive care unit. IntelliVue® Alarm Advisor customization support software for alarm limit violations was installed on all monitors and education on its u…
Using physical education to promote out-of school physical activity in lower secondary school students : a randomized controlled trial protocol
2019
Background Given the documented decline in levels of physical activity in early adolescence, promoting physical activity in young people is a priority for health promotion. School physical education (PE) is an important existing network in which participation in physical activity beyond school can be promoted to the captive young people. The objective of current article is to present the protocol for a PE teacher-delivered theory-based trial to promote secondary school students’ participation in physical activity out-of-school contexts. The intervention will be guided by the trans-contextual model explaining the processes by which PE teachers’ support for autonomous motivation in the classr…
Implementation of a Web-Based Work-Related Psychological Aftercare Program Into Clinical Routine: Results of a Longitudinal Observational Study
2019
Background: As inpatient medical rehabilitation serves to promote work ability, vocational reintegration is a crucial outcome. However, previous Web-based trials on coping with work-related stress have been limited to Web-based recruitment of study participants. Objective: The aim of our study was to evaluate the implementation of an empirically supported transdiagnostic psychodynamic Web-based aftercare program GSA (Gesund und Stressfrei am Arbeitsplatz [Healthy and stress-less at the workplace])-Online plus into the clinical routine of inpatient medical rehabilitation, to identify characteristics of patients who have received the recommendation for GSA-Online plus, and to determine helpfu…
Advanced time-stamped total data acquisition control front-end for MeV ion beam microscopy and proton beam writing
2013
Many ion-matter interactions exhibit [email protected] time dependences such as, fluorophore emission quenching and ion beam induced charge (IBIC). Conventional event-mode MeV ion microbeam data acquisition systems discard the time information. Here we describe a fast time-stamping data acquisition front-end based on the concurrent processing capabilities of a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The system is intended for MeV ion microscopy and MeV ion beam lithography. The speed of the system (>240,000 events s^-^1 for four analogue to digital converters (ADC)) is limited by the ADC throughput and data handling speed of the host computer.
Parallel Simulated Annealing: Getting Super Linear Speedups
2005
The study described in this paper tries to improve and combine different approaches that are able to speed up applications of the Simulated Annealing model. It investigates separately two main aspects concerning the degree of parallelism an implementation can egectively exploit at the initial andfinal periods of an execution. As for case studies, it deals with two implementations: the Job shop Scheduling problem and the poryblio selection problem. The paper reports the results of a large number of experiments, carried out by means of a transputer network and a hypercube system. They give useful suggestions about selecting the most suitable values of the intervention parameters to achieve su…
Do Minimal Interventions Increase Participation Rates in Voluntary Online Training at High School?
2020
In preparation for graduating from high school, students face the challenge of having to learn the subject matter of several school years with little guidance. The ability to self-regulate learning is conducive to this. Research has shown that students’ self-regulated learning can be successfully promoted through training. However, when such training is provided voluntarily, not all students participate and dropout rates tend to be high. Minimal interventions on utility value and implementation intention are promising approaches to increase the use of voluntary training. This study investigates whether short interventions can increase the participation in voluntary self-regulated learning …
