Health providers’ understanding of disability determines how disabled people are treated, and hence it is imperative to address conceptualisations of disability, as this will contribute to better opportunities and realisation of human rights for disabled people. This article will use data from a...
Microstructure of hydrostatically extruded Al-Mg-Si alloy was studied by the combination of electron backscattered diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Three different grain types which feature various defects arrangements were detected. Post deformation ageing at two temperatures...
The structure and properties of two new UiO-67-type metal–organic frameworks, along with their linker synthesis and powder and single crystal synthesis, are presented. The new MOFs, UiO-67-Me and UiO-67-BN, are based on 3,3′-dimethylbiphenyl and 1,1′-binaphthyl linker scaffolds, and show a much...
Dobbelt så mange arbeidsledige menn som kvinner i Finnmark. – Ledigheten er stor i tradisjonelle mannsyrker, forklarer seniorrådgiver i NAV. Over dobbelt så mange menn som kvinner er nå arbeidsledige i Finnmark. Dette kan blant annet skyldes at ledigheten er stor i tradisjonelle mannsyrker. Det sier...
Beredskapsplikten må understøttes av lovverket. KS mener at kommunene må få nødvendig myndighet til å utøve den pålagte samordningsrollen som pådriver og koordinator i beredskapsarbeidet. Relevante samfunnsaktører må forpliktes til å delta. - Det er nødvendig å styrke kommunenes evne og mulighet...
Sintef-rapport: Nav-ansatte gir ubegrunnede avslag for å få pynte på statistikken. En gruppe av Sintef-forskere har sett på hvorfor så mange klagere får medhold. De mener Nav gjør en for dårlig jobb i tidlig fase for å nå måltall, noe som bryter med forvaltningsloven. ...
Bringing citizen science projects into the classroom can help students understand the relevance of curriculum objectives. As part of the ongoing CITI-SENSE project high-school students in Norway, Serbia, Slovenia and the UK were equipped with tools to study the air quality at their schools. The...
... Bedre overvåking av prostatakreften Kreft i prostata utvikler seg så sakte at pasientene ikke trenger umiddelbar behandling. Aktiv overvåking kan derfor hindre overbehandling av kreftformen, skriver forskning.no. Forskere ved St. Olavs Hospital og SINTEF samarbeider med fastleger i...
K-promoted iron/carbon nanotubes composite (i.e., FeK-OX) was prepared by a redox reaction between carbon nanotubes and K2FeO4 followed by thermal treatments on a purpose as the Fischer–Tropsch catalyst for the direct conversion of syngas to lower olefins. Its catalytic behaviors were compared with...
A dynamic model of the post-combustion CO2 capture process based on chemical absorption is used to investigate the transient behavior and dynamic responses of the process and to detect stabilization time when various disturbances are introduced. Plant dimensions and parameter settings are based on...
For the space of \(C^3\) quintics on the Powell–Sabin 12-split of a triangle, we determine explicitly the six symmetric simplex spline bases that reduce to a B-spline basis on each edge and have a positive partition of unity, a Marsden identity that splits into real linear factors, and an intuitive...
Measuring safety climate is regarded a proactive approach to safety management. With increased focus on developing indicators for major accidents, there is a need to critically assess the effectiveness of current practices in providing early warning signals for organizations at risk. The main...
The purpose of this study was to develop an image-based method for registration of real-time 3-D ultrasound to computed tomography (CT) of the abdominal aorta, targeting future use in ultrasound-guided endovascular intervention. We proposed a method in which a surface model of the aortic wall was...
A novel multiscale method for multiphase flow in heterogeneous fractured porous media is devised. The discrete fine-scale system is described using an embedded fracture modeling approach, in which the heterogeneous rock (matrix) and highly-conductive fractures are represented on independent grids...
