Aim: The aim was to investigate the ambulance nurses experiences during a specific ambulance missions that led to usage of LUCAS ™.Method: Participating ambulance nurses were randomly assigned from a total sample group of 12 women and 39 men. Five women and five men participated. Qualitative interviews were conducted, where the Critical Incident Technique approach was used. Collected interviews were valued using qualitative content analysis.Result: Interview texts were divided into three domains, 10 subcategories could be identified which were sorted into three categories. A theme was finally formulated.The initial alarm data from SOS Alarm is important for the ambulance nurses preparation. There where cardiac arrest situations when the work went well, as well as situations where problems arose. The informants expressed that they should practice on LUCAS ™ to a greater extent than they now are doing. Staff in the emergency room, some time was perceived as stressful and they did not listen. The informants expressed frustration with the major administrative tasks after a LUCAS™ case, on the other hand, the "team spirit" where highlighted, they solve the task together.Conclusion: Developments during ambulance missions where LUCAS ™ will be used depends on, alarm data, resources, situation at the scene, planning, roles, supervision, handling of LUCAS ™ and Case Report Form, relatives and viewer reactions, the receipt at the emergency department and finally that ambulance staff cooperates after the LUCAS ™ mission. / Syfte: Syftet var att undersöka ambulanssjuksköterskors upplevelser under ett bestämt ambulansuppdrag som ledde fram till begagnande av LUCAS™. Metod: Deltagande ambulanssjuksköterskor lottades ur en total urvalsgrupp bestående av 12 kvinnor och 39 män. Fem kvinnor och fem män deltog. Kvalitativa intervjuer genomfördes, där Critical Incident Technique metoden användes. Insamlade intervjudata värderades med hjälp av kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Intervjutexten kunde delas in i tre domäner, 10 underkategorier kunde identifieras som sorterades i tre kategorier. Slutligen formulerades ett tema. De initiala larmuppgifter från SOS Alarm är viktiga för ambulanssjuksköterskornas förberedelser. Det förekom hjärtstoppssituationer där arbetet gick bra, likväl situationer där problem uppstod. Informanterna uttryckte att de borde öva på LUCAS™ i större utsträckning än de gör i nu läget. Vid en del situationer upplevdes mottagande personal på akutmottagningen som stressade och att de inte lyssnade. Betecknande för informanternas upplevelser vad gäller de administrativa uppgifterna efter LUCAS™ uppdraget var inte positivt, dock betonades "team work". Slutsats: Utvecklingen under ambulansuppdrag där LUCAS™ kommer till användning är beroende av; larmfakta, resurser, situationen på plats, planering, roller, arbetsledning, hanterandet av LUCAS™ och Case Report Form, anhöriga och åskådares reaktioner, mottagandet på akutmottagningen och slutligen att ambulanspersonalen samarbetar efter LUCAS™ uppdraget.

Neste trabalho, exploramos os números de Fibonacci e de Lucas. A maioria dos resultados históricos sobre esses números são apresentados e provados. Ao longo do texto, um grande número de identidades a respeito dos números de Fibonacci e de Lucas são mostradas válidas para todos os inteiros. Sequências generalizadas de Fibonacci, a relação entre os números de Fibonacci e de Lucas com as raízes da equação x2 -x -1 = 0 e a conexão entre os números de Fibonacci e de Lucas com uma classe de matrizes em M2(R) são também exploradas. / In this work we explore the Fibonacci and Lucas numbers. The majority of the historical results are stated and proved. Along the text several identities concerning Fibonacci and Lucas numbers are shown valid for all integers. Generalized Fibonacci sequences, the relation between Fibonacci and Lucas numbers with the roots of the equation x2 -x -1 = 0 and the connection between Fibonacci and Lucas numbers with a class of matrices in M2(R) are also explored.

1 Abstract The Acceptance of Works of Lucas Cranach the Elder in Painting of the First Half of the 16th Century in Bohemia The thesis focuses on the personality and works of the Renaissance painter Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472-1553) and the acceptance of his works and works of his workshop in painting in the first half of the 16th century in Bohemia. The art production in Bohemia, analogous to the 15th century, was concentrated in small centres and was mainly directed to the painting of neighbouring, mainly German speaking countries. Traces of Cranach's unmistakable aesthetics could be spotted in the Czech lands from the first decade to the almost seventh decade of the 16th century. The life of Cranach's style was so long because it was prolonged, among others, by his son Lucas Cranach the Younger (1515-1586). We can assert that no other author or his followers was so successful in such a large scale, for such a long period of time nor had customers of broad walks of life as Lucas Cranach the Elder. The reason for this was seen by earlier researchers in mass workshop production and certain "easy acquirement" of his style (Max J. Friedländer) that spread especially from the 1520's outside the borders of the Electorate of Saxony. His works were accepted firstly through his graphic masters, secondly through...

Nestas condições, políticas não convencionais são utilizadas como a expansão monetária (QE) e comunicados ao mercado sobre as intenções do banco central em um horizonte maior de tempo. O Japão enfrenta esta situação desde a década de 90 e tem utilizado largamente ambas. Após uma revisão da literatura a respeito, este trabalho investiga a eficácia dos QEs praticados pelo BOJ com os dados disponíveis através de autoregressão de vetores e conclui que não há evidência estatística sobre os resultados desejados. Dada a inabilidade de melhorar o crescimento econômico com inflação dentro de uma meta, sugere que trabalhos que conclusões robustas estatisticamente devem estar sujeitos à crítica de Lucas / The zero lower bound is a situation with very low nominal overnight interest rates, where central banks don’t have their main monetary policy instrument available to stimulate economic activity. Under these conditions, non-standard policy alternatives are used such as quantitative easing and forward guidance. Japan faces this challenge since the 90s and has been largely using both, but there is still no expectation in the short term to overcome the issue. After a review on the literature, this work investigates the effectiveness of the QEs handled by BOJ with the available data through a VAR and reaches the conclusion that there is no statistical evidence about the desired outcomes. Given the inability to address the low economic growth with inflation within a target, it suggests that works that reach conclusions underpinned by statistical robustness should be subject to Lucas’ critique.

Personagem emblemático da Igreja Católica brasileira, dom Lucas Moreira Neves (1925-2002) atuou no país e no exterior entre 1950 e 2000, desempenhando, nesse período, entre outras funções, as de cardeal primaz do Brasil (1987-1998), presidente da CNBB (1995-1998) e prefeito da Congregação dos Bispos (1998-2000). Um ano após sua morte foi inaugurado um memorial em sua homenagem em São João Del Rei, sua cidade natal. Trata-se de um estudo de caso que buscou identificar os agentes responsáveis pela criação e organização desse lugar de memória, bem como as condições sociais, políticas e econômicas que viabilizam o empreendimento. Especial atenção foi dada aos acervos museológico, bibliográfico e arquivístico depositados no Memorial visando compreender o papel que desempenham na construção da imagem de dom Lucas Moreira Neves, bem como às iniciativas de cunho cultural que vêm sendo empreendidas pela instituição. / This thesis aims at Memorial Cardinal Lucas Moreira Neves, memory institution composed of a museum, a library and a personal archive. An emblematic figure of the Brazilian Catholic Church, Ms Lucas Moreira Neves (1925-2002) worked in the country and abroad from 1950 to 2000. During this period, he was the Cardinal Primate of Brazil (1987-1998), President of CNBB (1995-1998) and prefect of the Congregation of Bishops (1995-2000). One year after his death, a memorial was inaugurated in his honour in São João Del-Rei, his hometown. It is a case study that sought to identify the agents responsible for the creation and organization of this place of memory, as well as the social, political and economic conditions that make the enterprise viable. Special attention was given to the museological, bibliographical and archival collections deposited in the Memorial in order to understand the role they play in the construction of the image of Dom Lucas Moreira Neves, as well as to the initiatives of a cultural nature that have been undertaken by the institution. / Cette recherche a pour objet le Memorial Dom Lucas Moreira Neves, institution de mémoire composée d'un musée, une bibliothèque et une archive personnelle.

<p>This master's thesis develops an algorithm for tracking of cars robust enough to handle turning cars. It is implemented in the image processing environment Image Processing Application Programming Interface (IPAPI) for use with the WITAS project. </p><p>Firstly, algorithms, comparable with one currently used in the WITAS-project, are studied. The focus is on how rotation, that originates from the turning of the cars, affects tracking performance. The algorithms studied all perform an exhaustive search over a region, close to the last known position of the object being tracked, to find a match. After this, an iterative algorithm, based on the idea that a car can only rotate, translate and change scale, is introduced. The algorithm estimates the parameters describing this rotation, translation, and change of scale, iteratively. The iterative process needs a initial parameter estimate that is accurate enough for the algorithm to converge. The developed algorithm is based on an earlier publication on the subject, however the mathematical description, and deduction, of it is taken one step further than in this publication. </p><p>The iterative algorithm used performs well under the assumption that the data used fulfills some basic criteria. These demands comprises: placement of camera, template size as well as how the parameters may vary between two observations. The iterative algorithm is also potentially faster than exhaustive search methods, because few iterations are needed when the parameters change slowly. Better initial parameters should improve stability and speed of convergation.

<p>De flesta hjärtstopp sker prehospitalt, dessa patienter är i behov av livräddande behandling i form av Hjärt-Lung-Räddning (HLR) samtidigt som de snabbt skall förflyttas och behandlas i ambulans till sjukhus för vidare vård och behandling.
