No full textEn studie av hur lärare väljer innehåll till pedagogiska planer i naturvetenskap : Energi-, klimat- och resursfrågor i KNUT- projektet
No full textNationella och internationella rapporter visar på hur svenska elevers kunskaper inom naturvetenskap sjunker och svenska lärare får kritik för sitt sätt att undervisa. KNUT är ett nationellt forskningsprojekt och ett av projektets mål är att få lärare att arbeta fram pedagogiska planer kring energi-, klimat- och resursfrågor i skolans naturvetenskap. Arbetet syftar till att undersöka vilket innehåll lärarna i KNUT- projektet väljer till de pedagogiska planerna utifrån ett naturvetenskapligt perspektiv. Forskning visar på ett antal dilemman med undervisningen i naturvetenskap. Elever och lärare har olika uppfattningar om vad problemet med undervisningen är och forskningen visar även att eleverna inte är överens med lärarna när det kommer till vilket innehåll undervisningen skall ha. De pedagogiska planerna analyserades med hjälp av innehållsanalys. Resultatet visar att de pedagogiska planerna har ett innehåll där elevernas erfarenheter finns med. Dock så syns en skillnader mellan olika skolområden och skolår. Elevernas intresseområden behandlas också i de pedagogiska planerna och även här syns skillnader mellan skolområden men även det innehållsliga skiljer sig åt. Lärarna i projektet visar i de pedagogiska planerna att det finns intentioner att samverka mellan olika ämnen och målnivåer och att det även här finns skillnader i innehåll och mellan skolområden. Utifrån frågeställningarna och arbetets syfte har lärarna lyckats med sina pedagogiska planer men det finns några lösa ändar. Detta arbete har belyst dessa aspekter men vidare forskning kring KNUT- projektet är önskvärt.KNUT-projekte
Integrated care for individuals with mental illness and substance abuse – the example of the coordinated individual plan in Sweden : [Integrerad vård för personer med psykisk ohälsa eller missbruk – exemplet Samordnade Individuella Planer i Sverige]
No full textSpecialisation in care and welfare services often leads to inflexible boundaries between organisations and professions, resulting in fragmented and ineffective care, not least in the areas of severe mental illness and substance abuse. Collaborative models such as case management, multidisciplinary teams and coordinated care plans are used in many countries to address this problem. In a parallel development, demands have been made that individual users/patients should have more influence over their own care. In Sweden, legislation requires the social service and health care to draw up Coordinated Individual Plans (CIP) to clarify responsibility, improve the care process and increase users’ involvement in their own care. This article explores the impact of coordinated care plans, using the Swedish CIP as an example. What can we learn about conditions for integrated care according to the degree of collaboration, involvement for the individual user and supporting structures? The authors have studied 25 case files in a local authority. Findings indicate a low to moderate degree of collaboration and few indications of meaningful user involvement. Further studies are needed concerning factors hindering CIP from achieving a higher degree of collaboration and fully including the intentions and wishes of the individual.Specialisering och sektorisering i välfärdsservice orsakar svårigheter i många länder, inte minst för vuxna med komplexa behov i samband med missbruk och psykisk ohälsa. Modeller för samverkan, t.ex. case management, multidisciplinära team och individuella samordnade planer, används i många länder i syfte att uppnå en högre grad av integration mellan organisationer. Samtidigt har kraven ökat för att brukare/patienter ska ha större påverkan över sin egen vård. I Sverige kräver lagstiftning att socialtjänst- och hälso- och sjukvårdvårdssektorerna gör Samordnade Individuella Planer (SIP, eng. CIP) kring enskilda brukare i syfte att klargöra frågor om ansvar och förbättra vårdprocesser samt för att öka brukarnas delaktighet i sin egen vård. Denna explorativa studie undersöker vilken påverkan samordnade planer har haft, med den svenska SIPen som exempel. Vad kan vi lära oss om villkoren för integrerad vård utifrån graden av samverkan, delaktighet för brukaren samt stödjande strukturers roll i genomförandet av SIP? Författarna har studerat 25 akter i en kommun. Resultaten visar en låg till måttlig grad av samverkan med få indikationer på meningsfull brukardelaktighet. Ytterligare forskning behövs för att undersöka vilka faktorer som hindrar CIP från att uppnå en högre grad av samverkan och helt omfatta den enskilde brukarens intentioner och önskemål.</p
Communication and representation understood as sender–receiver coordination
No full textModeling work by Brian Skyrms and others in recent years has transformed the theoretical role of David Lewis's 1969 model of signaling. The latter can now be understood as a minimal model of communication in all its forms. In this article, we explain how the Lewis model has been generalized, and consider how it and its variants contribute to ongoing debates in several areas. Specifically, we consider connections between the models and four topics: The role of common interest in communication, signaling within the organism, meaning, and the evolution of human communication and language

The CMS electromagnetic calorimeter barrel upgrade for High-Luminosity LHC
No full textThe High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) will provide unprecedented instantaneous and integrated luminosity. The lead tungstate crystals forming the barrel part of the CMS Electromagnetic Calorimeter (ECAL) will still perform well, even after the expected 3000 fb-1 at the end of HL-LHC. The avalanche photodiodes (APDs) used to detect the scintillation light have recently been exposed to the levels of radiation expected at the end of HL-LHC. Although they will continue to be operational, there will be some increase in noise due to radiation-induced dark-currents. Triggering on electromagnetic objects with ~140 pileup events necessitates a change of the front-end electronics. New developments in high-speed optical links will allow single-crystal readout at 40 MHz to upgraded off-detector processors, allowing maximum flexibility and enhanced triggering capabilities. The very-front-end system will also be upgraded, to provide improved rejection of anomalous signals in the APDs as well as to mitigate the increase in APD noise. We are also considering lowering the ECAL barrel operating temperature from 18 degrees C to about 8-10 degrees C, in order to increase the scintillation light output and reduce the APD dark current
Evolution studies of the CMS endcap calorimeter response and implications for the High-Luminosity LHC upgrade
No full textCalorimetry for the CMS detector is currently performed at the LHC with a lead tungstate crystal electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL) and a brass/scintillator hadronic calorimeter (HCAL), both divided into barrel and endcap regions. High-Luminosity running at the LHC, which is planned for 2022 and beyond, will imply an order of magnitude increase in radiation levels and particle fluences with respect to the present LHC running conditions. The performance evolution of the CMS calorimeters indicates that an upgrade of the endcap calorimeters will be needed to ensure adequate performance during HL-LHC running. Results from LHC collision periods, beam tests and laboratory measurements are combined to predict the performance of the current detector at the HL-LHC and motivate the need for an upgrade of the endcap calorimeters
Health Hazard Evaluation 76-79, 80-543: Weyerhaeuser Co.: Longview, Washington
No full textWorker exposure to wood dusts were evaluated at the shake mill, new planer, old planer, bark, pres-tock, presto-log, plywood and resin areas of the Weyerhaeuser Company (SIC-2435) in Longview, Washington. Environmental samples were collected for analysis, and employees were interviewed and given physical evidence of occupational asthma due to western and red cedar wood dust exposure; the average dust concentration in 85 breathing zone samples was 4.72 milligrams per cubic meter (mg/cu m). Among new planer workers, 3 of 58 had occupational asthma due to exposures to Douglas fir and hemlock wood dusts, and sodium pentachlorophenate (131522). Average dust exposure for these workers was 1.28 mg/cu m. For old planer, bark and pres-tock workers, hazardous exposures to Douglas fir and hemlock, Douglas fir and alder bark, and alder wood dusts, respectively, were identified. No toxic exposures were found for workers in the presto-log, plywood or resin areas. The author suggests that all workers receive preplacement and periodic medical evaluations including pulmonary function tests; individual medical records should be maintained for up to 30 years; and workers should be educated concerning the hazards, symptoms and proper safety precautions associated with wood dust exposure. Exposures to Western red cedar dust should not exceed 2.5mg/cu m, and exposures to alder, fir and hemlock dusts should be maintained below 50mg/cu m. Regular air sampling should be performed. Specific work practices should be established for Shake mill workers, and ventilation systems in all areas should be improved. [Description provided by NIOSH
