Inn på tunet for personer med demens En kvalitativ studie om hvordan tilbydere kan bidra til å forme Inn på tunet-tilbud for personer med demens

Master's Theses in Citizenship and Co-Operation. VID Spcialized Universtiy, School of Mission and Theology. May 2020Personer med demens vil kunne være like ulike som personer uten demens. Derfor vil det være nyttig med ulike typer dagtilbud for denne gruppen. Inn på tunet er i dag et alternativt tilbud som skiller seg ut med dens beliggenhet på gård. Denne studien omhandler Inn på tunet for personer med demens. Studien undersøker problemstillingen «Hvordan kan tilbydere bidra til å forme Inn på tunet-tilbud for personer med demens?». Målet med studien er å bidra med nyttige innspill rundt tilbyders kunnskap og holdninger tilknyttet tilbudet sitt. Innspill rundt tilbyders rolle kan bidra til økt kunnskap om Inn på tunet. Studien benytter seg av kvalitativ metode. Materiale for studien er utviklet ved hjelp av fire individuelle intervjuer, med fire tilbydere, bosatt i ulike kommuner i Norge. Analysen av materiale fra intervjuene er inspirert av systematisk tekstkondensering. Resultatene fra analysen førte til fire hovedtema, som viser hvordan tilbydere kan bidra til å forme Inn på tunet-tilbud for personer med demens: - Ulik funksjonsevne blant deltakerne. - Innhold i tilbudet. - Selvbestemmelse i tilbudet. - Tilbudet er en inngangsport til å motta hjelp. Resultatene viser kunnskap og holdninger blant tilbyderne i hvert hovedtema. De fire hovedtemaene består av underkategorier, som på samme måte som hovedtemaene, er mine tolkninger av resultatene. Nøkkelord: demens, Inn på tunet, tilbyder, medborgerskap, personsentrert tilnærming, universell utformin

Current state of the art and use case description on geofencing for traffic management

This report is a result of a literature review and document gathering focused on geofence use cases specific for road traffic management. It presents geofence use cases that are trialled or to be trialled, implemented use cases, as well as conceptual and potential future use cases, showing for which type of transport they are used and how geofence zones are applied or to be applied. The report was conducted in the project GeoSence – Geofencing strategies for implementation in urban traffic management and planning. It is a Joint programme initiative (JPI) Urban Europe project funded by European Union´s Horizon 2020, under ERA-NET Cofund Urban Accessibility and Connectivity and gather project partners from Germany, Norway, Sweden and UK. The goal is to present the current state of art, and describe use cases, based on the working definition of geofencing in the project, where geofence is defined as a virtual geographically located boundary, statically or dynamically defined. The study shows that for implemented and real-traffic trial use case, geofencing has been applied within private car transport, shared micro-mobility, freight and logistics, public bus transportation and ridesourcing. For the future use cases, geofencing has been tested or conceptually developed also for automated vehicles and shared automated mobility, among others. The report summarises main use cases and find them to answering to especially four challenges in traffic management: safety, environment, efficiency, and tracking and data collection. Some of the use cases however answer to several of these challenges, such as differentiated road charging, and the use cases in micro-mobility. Further, the system and functionality of the trialled and/or implemented use cases, show different types of regulation geofence use cases can be used for, from informing, assisting, full enforcement, incentivising and penalisation. Guidelines and recommendations so far form national authorities show that the existence of joint regulation or guidelines for the use of geofencing for different use cases is low – with some exceptions. Digital representation of traffic regulation will be crucial for enabling geofencing

Beyond the myth of legality? Framing effects and public reactions to high court decisions in Europe

How do people respond to different decision-making processes in high courts? One long-standing view suggests that citizens expect courts to be neutral arbiters of legal controversies. Although the relevance of such “myth of legality” has been challenged, we know very little about the relationship between the portrayals of the motives of courts and justices and public attitudes in civil law countries. We explore this question in a pair of experiments in Norway and Portugal where we isolate the effects of different institutional frames from outcome favorability. We find that while partisan frames are detrimental to fairness perceptions and acceptance of decisions, depictions of judicial decision-making that emphasize policy goals do not adversely affect citizens’ responses in comparison with legalistic frames. The results suggest that, even in civil law systems, preserving the myth of legality may not be a necessary condition to elicit public support for judicial decisions

Quantum Entanglement in Fermionic Lattices

The Fock space of a system of indistinguishable particles is isomorphic (in a non-unique way) to the state-space of a composite i.e., many-modes, quantum system. One can then discuss quantum entanglement for fermionic as well as bosonic systems. We exemplify the use of this notion -central in quantum information - by studying some e.g., Hubbard,lattice fermionic models relevant to condensed matter physics.Comment: 4 Pages LaTeX, 1 TeX Figure.

Entanglement in quantum computers described by the XXZ model with defects

We investigate how to generate maximally entangled states in systems characterized by the Hamiltonian of the XXZ model with defects. Some proposed quantum computers are described by such model. We show how the defects can be used to obtain EPR states and W states when one or two excitations are considered.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figur

Entanglement study of the 1D Ising model with Added Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction

We have studied occurrence of quantum phase transition in the one-dimensional spin-1/2 Ising model with added Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya (DM) interaction from bi- partite and multi-partite entanglement point of view. Using exact numerical solutions, we are able to study such systems up to 24 qubits. The minimum of the entanglement ratio R $\equiv$ \tau 2/\tau 1 < 1, as a novel estimator of QPT, has been used to detect QPT and our calculations have shown that its minimum took place at the critical point. We have also shown both the global-entanglement (GE) and multipartite entanglement (ME) are maximal at the critical point for the Ising chain with added DM interaction. Using matrix product state approach, we have calculated the tangle and concurrence of the model and it is able to capture and confirm our numerical experiment result. Lack of inversion symmetry in the presence of DM interaction stimulated us to study entanglement of three qubits in symmetric and antisymmetric way which brings some surprising results.Comment: 18 pages, 9 figures, submitte

Abundance Analysis of HE2148-1247, A Star With Extremely Enhanced Neutron Capture Elements

Abundances for 27 elements in the very metal poor dwarf star HE2148-1247 are presented, including many of the neutron capture elements. We establish that HE2148-1247 is a very highly s-process enhanced star with anomalously high Eu as well, Eu/H about half Solar, demonstrating the large addition of heavy nuclei at [Fe/H] = -2.3 dex. Ba and La are enhanced by a somewhat larger factor and reach the solar abundance, while Pb significantly exceeds it. Ba/Eu is ten times the solar r-process ratio but much less than that of the s-process, indicating a substantial r-process addition as well. C and N are also very highly enhanced. We have found that HE2148-1247 is a radial velocity variable. The C, N and the s-process element enhancements thus presumably were produced through mass transfer from a former AGB binary companion. The large enhancement of heavy r-nuclides also requires an additional source as this is far above any inventory in the ISM at such low [Fe/H]. We further hypothesize that accretion onto the white dwarf from the envelope of the star caused accretion induced collapse of the white dwarf, forming a neutron star, which then produced heavy r-nuclides and again contaminated its companion.
