Using social innovation as a theoretical framework to guide future thinking on facilitating collaboration between mental health and criminal justice services.
Offender mental health is a major societal challenge. Improved collaboration between mental health and criminal justice services is required to address these challenges. This paper explores the potential social innovation as a concept that offers an alternative perspective on collaborations between these services and a framework to develop theoretically informed strategies to optimize interorganizational working. Two key innovation frameworks are applied to the offender mental health field and practice illustrations provided of where new innovations in collaboration, and specifically cocreation between the mental health system and criminal justice system, take place. The paper recommends the development of a competency framework for leaders and front line staff in the mental health system and criminal justice systems to raise awareness and skills in the innovation process, especially through cocreation across professional and organizational boundaries
DynaCT during EVAR â A Comparison with Multidetector CT
AbstractObjectivesWe have explored the usefulness of an on-table, cross-sectional radiological imaging (DynaCT) in endovascular aortic repair (EVAR). DynaCT images were compared to images from a regular multidetector (16 slice) CT. In the comparison, we tested the accordance of firstly 5 relevant clinical measurements and secondly the visibility of 9 anatomical areas in the two different types of images. This imaging was carried out in addition to the usual angiographic imaging.Design, material and method20 patients with infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) were prospectively enrolled in the study. We compared Images from DynaCT with two different doses of contrast medium to MDCT-images in two different ways. Firstly relevant arterial diameters and lengths and secondly, 9 anatomical areas were evaluated regarding visibility which was scored on a 4-point scale.ResultsThere were no significant differences in the measured arterial diameters and lengths. MDCT had a significantly higher visibility score than both DynaCT investigations. However, with the highest contrast medium dose we found acceptable diagnostic quality in 78â94% of the cases for 8 of the 9 investigated anatomical areas.ConclusionOur findings indicate that on-table DynaCT are of sufficient quality to give relevant information of arterial measurements, needed in endovascular repair of infrarenal aortic aneurysms
Interprofessional collaboration during offender transitions: Theoretical considerations, working models and the potential of the HCR-20
Microcanonical entropies and radiative strength functions of V
The level densities and radiative strength functions (RSFs) of V
have been extracted using the (He,) and
(He,He) reactions, respectively. From the level
densities, microcanonical entropies are deduced. The high -energy part
of the RSF is described by the giant electric dipole resonance. A significant
enhancement over the predicted strength in the region of MeV is seen, which at present has no theoretical explanation.Comment: 16 pages including 9 figure
Observation of Thermodynamical Properties in the Dy, Er and Yb Nuclei
The density of accessible levels in the (He,) reaction has
been extracted for the Dy, Er and Yb nuclei. The
nuclear temperature is measured as a function of excitation energy in the
region of 0 -- 6 MeV. The temperature curves reveal structures indicating new
degrees of freedom. The heat capacity of the nuclear system is discussed within
the framework of a canonical ensemble.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figures include
Wobbling Motion in Atomic Nuclei with Positive-Gamma Shapes
The three moments of inertia associated with the wobbling mode built on the
superdeformed states in 163Lu are investigated by means of the cranked shell
model plus random phase approximation to the configuration with an aligned
quasiparticle. The result indicates that it is crucial to take into account the
direct contribution to the moments of inertia from the aligned quasiparticle so
as to realize J_x > J_y in positive-gamma shapes. Quenching of the pairing gap
cooperates with the alignment effect. The peculiarity of the recently observed
163Lu data is discussed by calculating not only the electromagnetic properties
but also the excitation spectra.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figure
Critical temperature for quenching of pair correlations
The level density at low spin in the 161,162-Dy and 171,172-Yb nuclei has
been extracted from primary gamma rays. The nuclear heat capacity is deduced
within the framework of the canonical ensemble. The heat capacity exhibits an
S-formed shape as a function of temperature, which is interpreted as a
fingerprint of the phase transition from a strongly correlated to an
uncorrelated phase. The critical temperature for the quenching of pair
correlations is found at Tc=0.50(4) MeV.Comment: 8 pages including 4 figures, different method to extract Tc,
different figures, text partly rewritte
Hvordan oppleves utĂžvd ledelse?
Ă
rsstudium i organisasjon og ledelse, 2013Ledelse kan utÞves og oppleves pÄ mange ulike mÄter, dette har vi fÄtt kunnskap om gjennom
vÄrt studie i organisasjon og ledelse. VÄr prosjektoppgave er en del av dette studiet. FormÄlet
med prosjektet er Ă„ belyse hvordan ledere utĂžvde ledelse og hvordan dette ble oppfattet av
medarbeiderne. VĂ„rt forskningsspĂžrsmĂ„l ble âHvordan oppleves utfĂžrt ledelse?â. Det
teoretiske fundament for oppgaven baserer seg pÄ relasjonsteori. Grunnlagsmateriale ble
samlet inn via intervjuer av informanter gjennom kvalitativ metode. VĂ„r oppgave viser at
utÞvd ledelse oppfattes forskjellig av medarbeidere og ledere. Dette bekrefter vÄr hypotese
om at medarbeidere oppfatter utÞvd ledelse pÄ en annen mÄte, enn lederne oppfatter det selv.
Det vil si at opplevelsen av ledelse er avhengig av hvilken posisjon og stÄsted en har. Alle gir
imidlertid utrykk for Ăžnsker om gode relasjoner som kan fĂžre til positivt arbeidsmiljĂž og gode
resultater for organisasjonen. For Ä oppnÄ dette kan det vurderes om lederne bÞr fokusere mer
pÄ betydningen av relasjonsbygging og sosialt samspill
