Brukeradopsjon av ACOS Individuell plan hos plankoordinatorene : En studie med kombinerte metoder om påvirkningsfaktorer for plankoordinatorenes bruk…
2018
Masteroppgave i helse- og sosialinformatikk HSI500 - Universitetet i Agder 2018 Individual care plan is a comprehensive plan to assist users in need of long-term and coordinated services. Individual care plan is one of several service areas in the municipality digitized for better flow of work procedures, lower costs and increased user involvement. The ACOS IP program enables electronic IP in the municipalities. The study has investigated which main factors affect the plan coordinators user adoption of ACOS IP. User adoption looks at why and how a program is used. The purpose is to look at it from the plan coordinator's perspective, but also how the management at the coordinating unit's fra…
Improved superresolution in coherent optical systems.
2001
Objects that temporally vary slowly can be superresolved by the use of two synchronized moving masks such as pinholes or gratings. This approach to superresolution allows one to exceed Abbe’s limit of resolution. Moreover, under coherent illumination, superresolution requires a certain approximation based on the time averaging of intensity rather than of field distribution. When extensive digital postprocessing can be incorporated into the optical system, a detector array and some postprocessing algorithms can replace the grating that is responsible for information decoding. In this way, no approximation is needed and the synchronization that is necessary when two gratings are used is simpl…
ABO blood groups and Australia antigen
2008
The distribution of ABO blood in two groups of people with Australia antigen was studied (121 blood donors and 128 patients) and in 3,091 controls was investigated. There was a significant excess of A in comparison with o when the two groups were combined, and when the two groups were tested for (A + B): (AB +O) individually and together, both were found to be statistically significant. The results are discussed.
Superresolving optical system with time multiplexing and computer decoding
2008
Objects that have slow temporal variations may be superresolved with two moving masks such as pinhole or grating. The first mask is responsible for encoding the input image, and the second one performs the decoding operation. This approach is efficient for exceeding the resolving capability beyond Abbe’s limit of resolution. However, the proposed setup requires two physical gratings that should move in a synchronized manner. We propose what is believed to be a novel configuration in which the second grating responsible for the information decoding is replaced with a detector array and some postprocessing digital procedures. In this way the synchronization problem that exists when two gratin…
Instruction of Digital Reading Strategies Based on Eye-Movements Modeling Examples
2018
During the last decade, several studies have proposed and tested different instructional methods for teaching digital reading strategies to young students. In this study, we have tested the effectiveness of a program combining eye-movements modeling examples (EMMEs) and contrasting cases to instruct ninth-grade students how to plan, evaluate, and monitor their digital reading. EMMEs are videos that display a dot representing the eye movements of a model and an oral transcription of her thoughts while answering a specific question in a hypertext. Students in the EMME condition obtain higher comprehension scores in a posttest performed 1 week after the instruction, as compared with a control…
Miejsce międzypokoleniowego uczenia się w procesie hominizacji
2016
This article presents the results of a pilot and exploration study. The main objective of the research was to investigate the differences of intergenerational learning in the process of hominisation. For the purpose of the study the author used the quantitative strategy of research and author’s instrument of measurement. In the study participated 50 adult respondents from province opolskie. The research in question combines in a way such fields of knowledge as anthropology, pedagogics and psychology; the aim of the combination is to explore the processes which support the development of a human being in light of andragogy. Two conceptions have constituted the theoretical and methodological …
Trust and mistrust when students read multiple information sources about climate change
2011
Abstract The present study investigated how undergraduates judged the trustworthiness of different information sources that they read about climate change. Results showed that participants ( N = 128) judged information from textbook and official documents to be more trustworthy than information from newspapers and a commercial agent. Moreover, participants put most emphasis on content and least emphasis on date of publication when judging document trustworthiness. When judging the trustworthiness of the textbook, they emphasized criteria differently than when evaluating other types of documents. Results also indicated that readers low in topic knowledge were more likely to trust less trust…
Dataset related to the article "LITHOTRIPSY OF CALCIFIED AORTIC VALVE LEAFLETS BY A NOVEL ULTRASOUND TRANSCATHETER-BASED DEVICE"
2022
This record contains raw data related to the article “LITHOTRIPSY OF CALCIFIED AORTIC VALVE LEAFLETS BY A NOVEL ULTRASOUND TRANSCATHETER-BASED DEVICE” The increasing incidence of calcific aortic valve disease necessitates the elaboration of new strategies to retard the progression of the pathology with an innovative solution. While the increasing diffusion of the transcatheter aortic valve replacements (TAVRs) allows a mini-invasive approach to aortic valve substitution as an alternative to conventional surgical replacement (SAVR) in an always larger patient population, TAVR implantation still has contraindications for young patients. In addition, it is liable to undergo calcification with …

Geophysics and cultural heritage. A living field of research for Italian geophysicists
2015
If one reads the World Heritage List 2002/2003, (http:// whc.unesco.org/archive/WHList02-ENG.pdf), a datum comes out with evidence: 12 countries have 253 World Heritage Sites (WHS) and all the 125 member countries have 586 WHS. Within these 12 countries Italy has 35 WHS corresponding to about 6% of the whole, followed by Spain, 5.8%, France, 4.6%, and the tenth has less than 2% of WHS. Cultural heritage is one of the greatest riches of Italy. Europe, with China, is the land which has the most stratified history in the world, and Italy is likely to still have undiscovered settlements dating from the prehistoric age to the 18th century. Some areas are totally unexplored, others have been only…
