Bridging the Social Gap Through ‘Conscious Caring’: A Constructivist Grounded Theory of the Art of Caring for Older Adults With Dual Sensory Impairment

Journal of Advanced Nursing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim The aim of this study was to develop a conceptual understanding of the role of caring for older adults with combined vision and hearing impairment (DSI). Background Dual sensory impairment (DSI) impacts both listening and speechreading communication, function and social participation, meaning that older adults often require support and ...

Practising Participation at the Street Level: Hospital Discharge Care Planning With Older Adults and Their Family Members

Social Policy &Administration, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drawing on Brodkin's ‘structuring voice’ framework, this article explores how health and social care professionals understand and operationalise the ambiguous policy objective of client and family member participation in relation to the conditions structuring the hospital discharge process for older adults.

Real-time indoor radon exposure in the city of Zacatecas, Mexico [PDF]

Geofísica Internacional, 2002
222Rn and its daughter elements are considered dangerous for health. Exposure was measured to find the radon reference levels in Zacatecas. Indoor levels were measured since June 2000 until June 2001. RM-60 and RM-70 Geiger Muller-based systems were used

222Rn daughters influence on scaler mode of the ARGO-YBJ detector

, 2011
The ARGO-YBJ experiment is a full coverage air shower array; its lowest energy threshold is reached using the "scaler mode technique". Working in this mode, the signals generated by any particle hitting each cluster are put in coincidence every 150 ns ...

Internationally Educated Nurses' Experiences of Working in U.S. Long‐Term Care Settings

Research in Nursing &Health, Volume 49, Issue 1, Page 74-86, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Increasing reliance on Internationally Educated Nurses (IENs) in the U.S. healthcare system, particularly in Long‐Term Care (LTC) settings, necessitates an in‐depth exploration of their transition experiences. The primary purpose of this qualitative study was to understand how IENs describe their experiences transitioning to work with older ...

A Review and Outlook for the Removal of Radon-Generated Po-210 Surface Contamination

, 2017
The next generation low-background detectors operating deep underground aim for unprecedented low levels of radioactive backgrounds. The deposition and presence of radon progeny on detector surfaces is an added source of energetic background events.

Construction and measurements of a vacuum-swing-adsorption radon-mitigation system [PDF]

, 2013
Long-lived alpha and beta emitters in the $^{222}$Rn decay chain on (and near) detector surfaces may be the limiting background in many experiments attempting to detect dark matter or neutrinoless double-beta decay, and in screening detectors.

The strong Malthusian behavior of growth-fragmentation processes [PDF]

, 2019
Growth-fragmentation processes describe the evolution of systems of cells which grow continuously and fragment suddenly; they are used in models of cell division and protein polymerisation.

Workshop on dosimetry for radon and radon daughters [PDF]

, 1978
Emphasis is placed on the dosimetry for radon and daughters, rather than on monitoring and instrumentation. The objectives of the meeting were to exchange scientific information, to identify problem areas in radon-daughter dosimetry, and to make any observations or recommendations by the participants through issuance of this report.
