This qualitative study shows that people with rare disorders may experience barriers that can be related to the fact that the disorder is labelled ‘rare’ when they access health and welfare services. Service-providers within a range of sectors and services seemed to be reluctant to get involved...

...the study bulits on a contextual approach based on semi-structured face to face interviews. The most typical common experience was the feeling of being alone with problems and needs. A ’rare’ experience is that of falling outside the vast field of knowledge of the health and welfare professionals...

Brukermedvirkning er blitt et viktig prinsipp i norsk helsepolitikk, og det er en sterk tendens til å omtale brukermedvirkning som et positivt fenomen. Begrepet bruker viser til svært forskjellige grupper av aktører som forholder seg til ulike virksomheter. Samtidig vil brukerne forholde seg svært...

Remote controlled robots on offshore oil and gas platforms can potentially reduce costs and improve environment, health and safety issues. A key to successful remote control is to provide onshore operators with a sufficient overview of the processes offshore. To this end, robot manipulators...

AeroMACS is a system currently under development to be used for airport surface communications. It is based on the IEEE802.16-2009 standard, and is developed in cooperation with the WiMAX forum. The frequency band allocated to AeroMACS is 5091-5150 MHz. When specifying the AeroMACS system, knowledge...

Fragile micromachined MEMS structures are usually protected by bonding a capping wafer to the device wafer itself. As opposed to using lateral interconnects at the interface between the cap wafer and the device wafer, the use of vertical through silicon vias (TSVs) significantly simplifies the...

This study is focussed on the growth of multicrystalline silicon ingots with large grains by controlling the silicon melt cooling rate to initiate dendritic nucleation in the initial stage of the solidification. Two ingots were grown with different undercooling rates and compared with a reference...

Abstract—The promises of a service-centric Future Internet, where we can mix, match and create rapid-grown services also bring new security challenges. This paper investigates a threat named service injection to self-managed composite service systems that consist of service components from different...

... Marl, or calcareous clay, is considered ”bad” clay for production of burnt clay products since it is clay contaminated with substantial amounts of calcium carbonate. Calcined marl is proven to be an effective pozzolan in cementitious products and for this reason marl can be a large resource that is...

With a modified polyol method, Ir and IrRu was deposited on Sb-doped SnO2 nanoparticles functioning as a support material for the anode catalysts for poylmer electrolyte water electrolysers. Nanostructured iridium particles (2-3 nm) were deposited onto the ATO particles, characterized with XRD, TEM...

The present contribution reports on inorganic oxygen transport membranes (OTM) investigated in a specific task of the BIGCO2 project, which is one amongst the largest CCS projects in Scandinavia. The membranes are used for separation of oxygen from air at temperature typically above 800 °C. The work...

A thorough analysis of the thermal conductivity of virgin and spent porous Si3N4-bonded SiC sidewall materials in the Hall–Héroult electrolysis cell is reported. The thermal conductivity, measured by the laser flash method, was observed to vary significantly among the virgin materials and also...

Privacy policies are commonly used by service providers to state how personal data obtained from users will be handled. However, the complexity and sheer length of such policies make them incomprehensible to the common web user. This paper surveys user agents that automatically fetch and compare...
