What lies behind a no? Coercion in dementia care

Bacheloroppgave sykepleie, 2014Tittel; Hva ser du søster, bak et nei? - Tvang i demensomsorgen. Engelsk tittel; What lies behind a no? - Coercion in dementia care. Formålet med denne bacheloroppgaven er å finne ut hvordan sykepleiere kan redusere bruk av tvang i demensomsorgen. Problemstillingen er som følger; Hvordan kan sykepleiere begrense bruk av tvang i møte med pasienter med demens, som motsetter seg hjelp til å ivareta personlig hygiene. Problemstillingen begrenser derfor oppgaven til å handle om tvang i forbindelse med personlig hygiene. Vi har skrevet en case som beskriver det vi anser som en typisk pasientsituasjon som lett kan gå over i tvang. Oppgaven er en litteraturstudie som er basert på anerkjente forskere sine studier, pensumlitteratur og selvvalgt litteratur. Funnene blir drøftet og satt opp mot hverandre, for å finne en best mulig løsning for pasienten i casen. Resultatene vi har kommet frem til at tid og kunnskap er utslagsgivende for å begrense bruken av tvang

Review of the Um Ja Wasir Project : implemented by ADRA

Fra NORAGRIC. The SSE program. Fred H. Johnsen (NORAGRIC), Åge Rønningen (RBConsult) og Johannes Deelstra (JORDFORSK).The Um Ja Wasir project has been set up by ADRA to support nomads of the Hawawir tribe. The project provides water for irrigated agriculture by drilling deep wells and lifting the water with diesel engine driven turbine pumps. The pilot stage (phase 0) of the project was implemented in 1992 with four wells, while a a phase 1 with six additional wells has been started in 1995. Phase 1 is fully financed by NORAD under the SSE funds. ADRA plans for phases 2, 3 and 4 to be launced in 1998, 2001 and 2004 respectively

Review of the Sinkat Project : implemented by Norwegian Red Cross (NRC) and Sudanese Red Crescent (SRC)

Fra NORAGRIC. Fred H. Johnsen (NORAGRIC), Åge Rønningen (RBConsult) og Johannes Deelstra (Center for Soil and Environmental Research, JORDFORSK).The Sinkat project has been set up by Norwegian Red Cross and Sudanese Red Crescent to support Beja nomads, mainly of the Hadandawa tribe. The project concept is integrated rural development and the activities include water harvesting, erosion control, afforestation, well rehabilitation, latrines, women groups, support to primary schools and adult education. A team was set up by NORAGRIC in November 1995 to review the project. The team consisted of Fred H. Johnsen (NORAGRIC), Åge Rønningen (RBConsult) and Johannes Deelstra (Center for Soil and Environmental Research, JORDFORSK)

Epigenetic priming of inflammatory response genes by high glucose in adipose progenitor cells

Cellular metabolism confers wide-spread epigenetic modifications required for regulation of transcriptional networks that determine cellular states. Mesenchymal stromal cells are responsive to metabolic cues including circulating glucose levels and modulate inflammatory responses. We show here that long term exposure of undifferentiated human adipose tissue stromal cells (ASCs) to high glucose upregulates a subset of inflammation response (IR) genes and alters their promoter histone methylation patterns in a manner consistent with transcriptional de-repression. Modeling of chromatin states from combinations of histone modifications in nearly 500 IR genes unveil three overarching chromatin configurations reflecting repressive, active, and potentially active states in promoter and enhancer elements. Accordingly, we show that adipogenic differentiation in high glucose predominantly upregulates IR genes. Our results indicate that elevated extracellular glucose levels sensitize in ASCs an IR gene expression program which is exacerbated during adipocyte differentiation. We propose that high glucose exposure conveys an epigenetic ‘priming’ of IR genes, favoring a transcriptional inflammatory response upon adipogenic stimulation. Chromatin alterations at IR genes by high glucose exposure may play a role in the etiology of metabolic diseases
