Abstract:

Avant d'approvisionner des lots de composants pour la fabrication de systèmes orbitaux, les grandes agences du spatial (CNES, ESA, NASA, JAXA…) ainsi que les industriels du spatial (EADS, Thales,…) doivent s'assurer de la fiabilité des lots proposés par les fabricants de circuits intégrés. Dans le but d'assurer la fiabilité des composants, des tests sont réalisés suivant des recommandations afin de sélectionner et trier les composants suivant leur tenue à différents modes de défaillance. Parmi tous ces tests, certains sont typiques des applications spatiales : les tests de tenue à la dose. Cette spécificité des tests de tenue à la dose de composants destinés à des applications spatiales est due au fait que l'environnement spatial est un environnement radiatif qui provoque une ionisation dans les matériaux constituant le satellite. Suite à cette ionisation des charges sont créées dans la matière et induisent des modifications au sein des matériaux qui composent les circuits intégrés, ce qui peut provoquer des dérives de leurs caractéristiques électriques. Ces dérives des paramètres électriques en environnement spatial peuvent être perçues comme un vieillissement accéléré des composants électroniques, et des tests sont donc dédiés à prédire et s'assurer du bon fonctionnement des composants même après ce vieillissement accéléré provoqué par la dose. Dans ce travail de thèse nous nous intéressons à l'applicabilité d'une technique de test accéléré des composants bipolaires développée à l'UM2: 'La technique des Débits Commutés'. Une étude de l'effet de la polarisation pendant irradiation a été mené au cours de ce travail de thèse, afin d'appréhender l'impact de la polarisation des composants bipolaires sur les estimations obtenues de façon accélérée grâce à cette technique
Before supplying lots of components for the manufacture of orbital systems, large space agencies (CNES, ESA, NASA, JAXA ...) and the Industrial Space (EADS, Thales, ...) should ensure the reliability lots offered by manufacturers of integrated circuits. In order to ensure reliability of components, tests are performed following recommendations to select and sort the components according to their resistance to different failure modes. Of all these tests, some are typical for space applications: tests held in the dose. The specificity of the tests held at the dose of components for space applications due to the fact that the environment is a space radiation environment which causes ionization in the materials of the satellite. Following this ionization charges are created in the material and induce changes in the materials that comprise integrated circuits, which can cause drift of their electrical characteristics. These abuses of the electrical parameters in a space environment can be viewed as accelerated aging of electronic components, and tests are dedicated to predict and verify the correct operation of the components even after the accelerated aging caused by dose. In this thesis we investigate the applicability of a technique for accelerated testing of components developed in bipolar UM2: 'The technique of Switched Flows'. A study of the effect of the polarization during irradiation was conducted during this thesis, to understand the impact of the polarization of the bipolar components on the estimates obtained in an accelerated manner using this technique

Abstract:

Lors des missions spatiales, les composants électroniques sont soumis à l'influence du rayonnement ionisant présent en environnement spatial. Un modèle numérique de dégradation de la silice est développé. Il décrit la génération, le transport, le piégeage et la recombinaison des charges dans le volume, ainsi que le piégeage et la guérison à l'interface SiO₂/Si tout en s’attachant à prendre en compte de manière assez fine les effets du champ électrique. Après calage sur des données expérimentales, ce modèle a permit de mettre en évidence un phénomène encore mal expliqué : la sensibilité accrue de certains composants aux faibles débits de dose. Celle-ci est reliée au champ électrique et à la densité de piéges profonds à trous présents dans l’oxyde. Ce modèle est une contribution à la compréhension des interactions entre les différents mécanismes intervenant dans la dégradation des composants actuels, qui possèdent des oxydes épais de passivation ou d’isolation.

Abstract:

La composante ionisante des rayonnements spatiaux s'appelle dose cumulée. Elle entraîne l'apparition d'une charge piégée dans les oxydes ainsi que des états d'interface. Ces quantités sont à l'origine des dégradations électriques observées dans les circuits. Un modèle numérique des effets de dose dans la silice est développé. Il décrit la génération, le transport, le piégeage, les phénomènes de guérison ainsi que la génération des états d'interface tout en s'attachant à prendre à compte de manière assez fine l'effet du champ électrique et de la température. Le calage de notre modèle avec des données expérimentales faites sur la gamme des débits de dose de laboratoire avec différentes températures et diverses conditions de polarisations a permis de caractériser les paramètres des différents mécanismes. Sous faible champ électrique, certains composants présentent une sensibilité accrue au faible débit de dose. Notre modèle explique ce phénomène par l'inversion du champ électrique à fort débit de dose. Enfin, l'extrapolation au débit de dose spatial de notre modèle a permis de discuter la représentativité des normes de test en vigueur.

Abstract:

Les technologies bipolaires jouent des rôles primordiaux dans les systèmes spatiaux soumis à des conditions radiatives. Dans un environnement ionisant, le courant de base des transistors bipolaires augmente et le gain en courant diminue. L'augmentation de la recombinaison dans la région de déplétion base-émetteur est le mécanisme principal responsable de l'accroissement du courant de base. Pour une même dose totale, de nombreuses technologies bipolaires se dégradent plus à faible débit de dose qu'à fort débit ce qui soulève un problème au niveau du durcissement. Des méthodes de prédiction de la réponse faible débit de dose, utilisant les moyens disponibles en laboratoires, telle que les irradiations en températures, ont données des résultats prometteurs pour l'identification de technologies montrant une augmentation de la dégradation à faible débit de dose. Cependant, aucun test s'appliquant à toutes les technologies bipolaires n'a été identifié. C'est dans ce cadre que s'inscrit notre travail de thèse. Ce travail consiste à étudier et à améliorer les méthodes de test actuelles dans le but d'établir un unique test applicable à toutes les technologies bipolaires. En se basant sur un travail expérimental, une explication physique des phénomènes se produisant au cours d'irradiations à températures élevées a été donnée et un modèle de dégradation a été développé. A partir de l'observation des résultats obtenus, une nouvelle approche du test de composants est proposée. Cette approche est basée sur la commutation d'un fort débit de dose vers un faible débit
Bipolar technologies play a variety of important roles in space systems where they are exposed to radiation. In an ionizing environment, the base current of bipolar transistors increases and the current gain decreases. Increased recombination in the emitter-base depletion region is the main mechanism responsible for the increased base current. Many bipolar technologies degrade more at low dose rates than at high dose rates for a given total dose what is a difficult hardness assurance challenge. Methods of predicting the low-dose-rate response using laboratory dose rates, including irradiation at high temperature, have been reasonably successful at identifying technologies that suffer from ELDRS, but it is still difficult to identify a single test for all bipolar technologies. The aim of this work is then to investigate and improve the present methods in order to establish a sigle test for all bipolar technologies. Based on experimental results, physical explanation of phenomena occurring during elevated temperature irradiations has been proposed and a model of degradation has been expanded. From the observation of all the obtained results, a new approach of the device testing, based on the switching from high dose rate to low dose rate has been proposed

Abstract:

Utviklingstrekkene framover med en stadig økning av antall eldre, gjør utfordringene for pleie-og omsorgstjenestene store med hensyn til å utforme tjenester som samsvarer med brukerenes behov og ressurser. Hensikten med studien er å beskrive og analysere de eldres opplevelse av eget hjelpebehov Det kvalitative forskningsintervju er valgt som datainnsamlingsmetode, og analysert ut fra metoden grounded theory. Ni hjemmeboende eldre, som var avhengig av hjelp flere ganger i døgnet av pleie-og omsorgstjenesten i kommunen, ble intervjuet. ”En brukerrettet tjeneste” ble definert som overordnet kjernekategori. Videre framkom tre kategorier som var relatert til kjernekategorien; eldres ressurser og behov, hjelpernes møte med de eldre, og ytre rammer for tjenesten. Konklusjon: Hovedfunnet i studien peker på at de eldre opplever hjelpen de får som lite individuelt tilpasset, uforutsigbar og lite fleksibel. Tross dette, har de eldre vilje og ressurser til å mestresituasjonen, og de ønsker å bo hjemme. Resultatet av denne undersøkelsen kan muligens føre til at tjenestene ser nødvendigheten av en grundigere kartlegging av de eldres ressurser og mestringsevne før hjelpetiltak settes inn, og dermed rette fokus mer mot tiltak som tar hensyn til eldres opplevelse og forebygger ytterligere funksjonssvikt.
Demografic development points to a significant increase in elderly people, creating challenges in how health care services are shaped in correspondence with user needs and resources. The aim of this study was to describe and analyse, how elderly people, experienced their own need for help. Qualitative research interviews were chosen as a method of collecting the material for this survey. Grounded theory was used for analysis of the gathered information. The interviews were based on the experience of nine elderly people living at home by themselves. All nine selected interviewees were dependent upon regularly daily help from the communal health care and home help services. “A user related service” was defined as a superior core category. Three categories were related to the core category: Resources and needs among the elderly people, the encounter with the “helper” and outer boundaries of the service provided. Conclusion: The major results of this study points to the lack of individual response, flexibility and predictability of the help provided. Despite of this the elderly seem to cope with their situation, and preferred to live in their own homes as long as possible.The results may lead to a closer look on the necessity of a more thorough survey related to the elderly population and their coping needs, before help and care services are provided. The focus has to be aimed on health assesment to prevent dysfunctional services from developing even further.

Abstract:

Det er i dag store forskjeller på både alder og tilstand på veilysanleggene i Norge. Eldre anlegg består av armaturer med konvensjonelle forkoblingssystem, mens nye anlegg er sterkt anbefalt av veinormalen å skulle installeres med armaturer med elektronisk forkoblingsutstyr. Nytt utstyr kan også gi muligheter for dimming. Det er i denne rapporten sett på de elektriske forholdene i utvalgte veilysanlegg. Det er kartlagt spenningsforhold og effektforhold for 11 anlegg og 120 armaturer inkludert testanlegget ved NTNU. To av disse anleggene er videre benyttet til å se på muligheten for energibesparelse ved utskifting av armaturene og innføring av en dimmestrategi basert på astronomisk ur. For å kunne vurdere sparepotensialet har det blitt undersøkt effektbehovet for armaturer med både konvensjonelt og elektronisk forkoblingsutstyr. Resultatene fra disse viser at mens armaturene trekker bortimot det samme ved merkespenning, 230 Volt. Konvensjonelle armaturer trekker derimot lavere effekter desto lavere påtrykt spenning blir. Det er fortatt målinger ned til og med 170 Volt. Elektroniske armaturer holder effekten konstant uavhengig av spenningen. Det vil si at ved spenninger under 230 Volt trekker disse armaturene mer enn de konvensjonelle. De elektroniske armaturene som det er målt på har derimot vist seg å ikke i alle tilfeller tåle lave spenninger, under 200 Volt. Den elektroniske Philipsarmaturen (150 W) viste et den klarte ikke å holde fast effekt lenger ned enn til 200 Volt. Dette bedret seg derimot når lampen var dimmet. Multiluxarmaturene av forskjellig merkeeffekt klarte alle å opprettholde effekten ved lavere spenninger, men en av armaturene slukket ved 172 Volt. Dette er av relevans ettersom det er målt spenninger under 170 Volt i reelle veilysanlegg. Målingene i veilysanleggene viser at det er store forskjeller fra anlegg til anlegg. Selv om ikke anleggene ble valgt ut etter størrelse, og dermed ikke etter muligheten for stort spenningsfall med ett unntak, ble det funnet to kurser med spenninger under 230 Volt. Den ene av disse har mastspenninger under 170 Volt. Dette medfører når kursene består av konvensjonelle armaturer, lave armatureffekter og visuelt markant merkbart lavere lysfluks fra armaturene. Resultatene fra målingene viser også en sammenheng mellom spenningsfallet og trekt effekt for kursene med konvensjonelle armaturer. I kursene med målt minimal spenning over 4 % lavere enn merkespenningen, trekker ingen av kursene over 10 % over installert effekt, og det er inkludert tapene for kursene. Alle kursene med høyere minimal spenning trekker over 10 % over installert effekt. For kurser med elektroniske armaturer blir virkningen motsatt. Tapene kommer i tillegg til en fast armatureffekt, og økt spenningsfall tilsier høyere tap. Mastmålingene i anleggene viser at de konvensjonelle armaturer i anleggene trekker en lavere effekter enn det laboratoriemålingene har indikert i denne rapporten og i tidligere. Dette kommer muligens av brenntiden på lyskildene. Energiberegninger er utført for to kurser på 650 meter, med en PFSP 3*10mm kobberkabel. Kursene har henholdsvis 3300 og 1700 Watt installert effekt. Energiberegningene viser at det er den reelle effekten de konvensjonelle armaturene trekker som er avgjørende for sparepotensialet. Den største kursen har i snitt en armatureffekt på 137 Watt pluss tap. Når tilsvarende elektroniske armaturer uavhengig av spenningen trekker i størrelsesordenen 170 Watt, så det klart at dimmingen har en del å ta igjen før det oppnås energibesparelse. Ved overgang fra fotocelledrift til elektroniske armaturer med 15 minutter forskjøvet astronomisk ur og dimming til 50 % pådrag mellom 23:30 og 04:45, gir det 0 % og 10 % energibesparelse for de to kursene. Det er derfor en utskifting av armaturene i hvert fall i kurser med stort spenningsfall må ha andre incitamenter enn kun energibesparelse.

Abstract:

This paper examined patterns of decumulation and the role that health events and marital disruption play in forming those patterns. Study data were drawn from six biennial waves of the HRS (1998 - 2008), and merged RAND HRS data files for the period 1998–2008. The a priori expectation was that there will be variation in drawdown strategies households employ. Findings suggest that patterns of dissaving are heterogeneous. The five most prevalent patterns were discussed. Households predominantly transitioned between oversaving and overspending. Households are expected to have a goal of on target spending therefore the observed cycle's dissaving will influence the next cycle's draw down rate in an attempt to maintain a sustainable drawdown rate. Markov model results suggest that households do recalibrate their depletion rate as a function of their last depletion rate. This study hypothesized that the onset of a health condition or a spouse's admission to a nursing home would be associated with an excessive decumulation of assets. These hypotheses were unsupported by the research. Marital transitions as predictors of decumulation were only partially borne out by the results. Divorce was also expected to increase the likelihood of overspender however this relationship was not significant. Loss of spouse was associated with an increased likelihood of verspending. One of the major contributions of this study is the identification of patterns of dissaving in retirement. Various life course, demographic and decumulation factor variables were determinants of these patterns. Overall results suggest that elders have a difficult time managing to an on target drawdown. This study concludes with a national decumulation policy directive outline.

Abstract:

Delirium is a state of acute confusion and is common in hospitalized older adults. Delirium is associated with significant increases in morbidity and mortality, as well as healthcare costs. Delirium also is associated with functional and cognitive decline, as well as need for institutionalization and rehabilitation. Delirium can cause psychosocial distress for patients and families. While much is understood about the epidemiology of delirium, the pathophysiological mechanisms that lead to the development of delirium are less clearly defined.The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of allostatic load (AL), a composite measure of primary (i.e. acute) stress mediators and secondary (i.e. chronic) stress outcomes and delirium in the hospitalized older adult. Development of the Allostatic Load & Delirium in Hospitalized Elderly model provided a theoretical framework for the study.Forty- four participants, ranging from 66 to 93 years of age (M = 76 years of age) were recruited from three intensive care units and enrolled once they were determined not to have a cognitive deficit or prevalent delirium, as assessed by the Standardized Mini-Mental State Examination and Confusion Assessment Method (CAM), respectively. Ten AL components reflective of acute and chronic stress were collected upon admission. Allostatic load was calculated as the sum of the number of components for which the participant was rated in the highest risk quartile. Allostatic load subsets based on acute and chronic components were also calculated. Incident delirium was assessed 48 -72 hours after admission with the CAM.Findings indicated that the incidence of delirium was 29.2%. The subset AL score based on components considered primary stress mediators was significantly related to delirium; however, no other variables were associated with delirium. Logistic regression modeling indicated that an AL subset of primary stress mediators did predict the incidence of delirium (OR 2.5, 95% CI = 1.12, 5.79; X2 (1) = 5.668, p < .05).The findings from this study exploring the relationship between AL and delirium in the hospitalized older adult suggest that an AL score based on primary mediators may be useful in predicting delirium in the hospitalized older adult.

Abstract:

A descriptive study was conducted to explore the relationship among three measures of decision making capacity: (1) clinicians' opinions, (2) Pfeiffer's (1975) SPMSQ, and (3) a developmental instrument by Fitten et al. (1990) designed to measure patient clinical decision making ability. Another purpose of the study was to replicate portions of the work by Fitten et al. (1990). A convenience sample of 41 patients, four physicians, and three nurse practitioners was studied. Quantitative research techniques were employed for data collection and analysis. Significant correlations were found among all measurements of decision making capacity indicating that the developmental instrument appears to be a valid method of determining decision making capacity according to results obtained for convergent validity. The findings of this study support those reported by Fitten et al. (1990).

Abstract:

This study examined how Japanese American elders conceptualize depression. Japanese American elders age 65 years and older (N = 120) were recruited from a senior center in Los Angeles, CA. Participants read a brief vignette that described an individual who met the criteria for major depression and then filled out a series of questionnaires. Counter to prior theories, these Japanese American elders emphasized that the interpersonal criteria contributed to the individual's problem to a lesser degree than the somatic, emotional, and cognitive criteria. These elders expressed Explanatory Models of depression that were similar to Western Conceptualizations of depression. The results also indicated that having an important role within one's family and higher activity levels tended to be related to lower Geriatric Depression Scale scores. Finally, acculturation, generational status, sex, educational level, and income were not related to problem conceptualization. Clinical implications and directions for future research were discussed.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship of family spiritual interdependence to the well-being of elders and their family caregivers within Korean family caregiving situations. The correlation of spirituality and well-being between elders and caregivers and the actor and partner effect of spirituality on well-being were examined in terms of how family members' spirituality influences their own and partners' well-being.One hundred fifty-seven Korean elder-family caregiver dyads in Seoul, Korea participated and completed independently three spirituality instruments and four well-being instruments independently: Spiritual Perspective Scale (Reed, 1987), Self-Transcendence Scale (Reed, 1986) and Purpose in Life (Crumbaugh, 1968), Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale (Radloff, 1977), Satisfaction With Life Scale (Diener, et al., 1985) and Positive And Negative Affect Schedules (Watson et al., 1988).The correlations were performed to identify whether demographic variables significantly related to study variables. Several variables regarding family and social interactions related significantly to spirituality and well-being in both elder and caregiver group.The correlations of spirituality and well-being between elders and caregivers reported that elders' spirituality significantly related to caregivers' spirituality and caregivers' well-being significantly related to elders' well-being.The actor and partner effects of spirituality on well-being between elders and caregivers were tested using the Actor-Partner-Interdependence Model (Kashy & Kenny, 2000; Kenny, 1996). The results found that there were significant actor effects. First, spiritual perspective negatively influenced their own positive affect. Self-transcendence positively predicted their own depression and negative affect. Also, Self-transcendence positively predicted their satisfaction with life and positive affect. In addition, purpose in life negatively influenced their own depression and negative affect. Purpose in life positively influenced their own satisfaction with life and positive affect.There was a significant partner affect. Self-transcendence positively predicted their partner's depression. Also, self-transcendence positively influenced their partner's positive and negative affect. There were no significant partner effects from spiritual perspective and purpose in life to well-being. These findings indicate that the health and well-being of family members may be best understood within the context that includes the spiritual dimension of caregiving, particularly the concept of self-transcendence as it relates to several well-being factors.

Abstract:

Denne masteravhandlingen undersøker holdningene ledere har til eldre arbeidstakere. Deltakerne i denne undersøkelsen er ledere i sektorene barnehage, SFO og skole i Trondheim Kommune. Avhandlingen har tatt utgangspunkt i problemstillingen: Hvilke holdninger har lederne i denne undersøkelsen til eldre arbeidstakere? Forskningsmetoden som er benyttet for å svare på problemstillingen er Q-metodologi, som er en velegnet måte å undersøke subjektive meninger. 15 ledere i Trondheim kommune utgjorde utvalget analysen bygger på. Disse 15 personene har tatt stilling til 48 utsagn som omhandler egne holdninger til eldre arbeidstakere. Utsagnene er laget med utgangspunkt i teori om menneskesyn, relasjon og ressurser. Deltakerne har sortert utsagnene ut ifra sin egen oppfatning, og sortert dem på en skala fra enig til uenig. På den måten er det deltakernes subjektive opplevelser som ligger til grunn for det empiriske forskningsmaterialet. Ved hjelp av faktoranalyse ble en trefaktorløsning valgt, der hver faktor innehar ulike holdninger til eldre arbeidstakere. Faktor en vektlegger eldres kompetanse og ressurser, og er opptatt av samspill på arbeidsplassen. Faktor to har et omsorgsbasert syn på eldre arbeidstakere, og har forståelse for at eldre kan ha problemer med omstilling og utvikling. Den tredje faktoren ser ikke på eldre arbeidstakere som forskjellige fra andre, og møter eldre med samme krav og muligheter som andre arbeidstakere. Q-metodologi benytter seg av en abduktiv tilnærming til forskningsmaterialet. Gjennom en slik tilnærming ble fire tema vektlagt og drøftet i denne avhandlingen. Temaene er "Positive holdninger – et felles utgangspunkt", "Å møte den eldre arbeidstakeren – tre tilnærminger", "Likestilling" og "Teknologi – eldre møter sin begrensning?". For å belyse temaene for drøfting på en hensiktsmessig måte, ble ny teori om indre motivasjon, situert læring og deltakselse i praksisfellesskap introdusert i drøftingen.
The purpose of this Master thesis has been to analyze the attitudes of leaders towards senior employees. The leaders who participated in this study are managers in the sector for kindergardens, after school programs, and schools in the City of Trondheim, Norway. The thesis has as its point of departure the following research question: Which attitudes do leaders in this study hold towards senior employees? The research method used to answer the research question is Q-methodology, which is well suited to study subjective attitudes. 15 managers in the City of Trondheim have constituted the participants in the study. These individuals have been asked to sort and prioritize 48 statements regarding their personally held attitudes towards senior employees. The statements were constructed based on theories regarding views on human nature, relations, and resources. The participants have sorted the statements based on their own attitudes on a scale from "agree" to "disagree". In this way, the subjective experiences constitute the basis for the empirical research material. Subsequently, a factor analysis revealed three factors in the material that each capture different attitudes towards senior employees. One factor emphasizes senior employees’ competencies and resources and is preoccupied with interaction in the work place. The second factor captures a view of senior employees based on a caregiving attitude, and displays an understanding of senior employees as potentially having problems related to reforms and development. The third factor does not view senior employees as different from other employees, and approaches senior employees with the same demands and give them the same opportunities as other employees. Q-methodology utilizes an abductive approach to the research material. Through this approach, four themes were emphasized and discussed in this Master thesis. These themes were: "Positive attitudes – a common starting point", "To meet the senior employee – three approaches", "Equality", and "Technology – seniors meet their limitations?". New theory concerning inner motivation and situated learning as well as participation in communities of practice were introduced in the discussion to highlight the topics for discussion in a useful

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to test a hypothesized collaboration model composed of four components: team member, context, collaboration process, and degree of collaboration. A descriptive design using a causal modeling approach was used to test the collaboration model. The research settings were the healthcare centers and welfare centers in five provinces of Korea. The sample consisted of 40 nurse teams and 40 social worker teams. Data were collected from each team member and leaders involved in the Korean Home Visiting Services. Psychometric properties of all measures were assessed at both individual and team levels. Psychometric properties of all but one subscale (Agreement of Disciplinary Logic) exhibited reliability and evidence of validity as team measures. First hypothesis, team member and context variables have a direct effect on the collaboration process, was rejected. However, some team member variables directly impacted the collaboration process. Second hypothesis, team member, context, and collaboration process variables have a direct effect on the degree of collaboration, was rejected. However, some team member, context, and collaboration process variables directly impacted the degree of collaboration. Based on the research findings, the hypothesized collaboration model was revised.This study presented some implications for further research and collaboration practice. Future research needs to determine the reciprocal influence of each construct variable, explore the roles of each leadership style, and identify intervening or extraneous variables affecting collaboration. For the collaboration practice, this research can help healthcare providers develop realistic and effective strategies to enhance their collaboration, which would lead them to not only assess the elderly holistically, but to also effectively plan and provide comprehensive care services to solve complex health problems of the elderly. Thus, the elderly can maintain and improve their health and well-being. There were some study limitations related to the methodology and study findings. Sample size and a convenient sampling and a lack of random selection and diversity of the sample prevented generalization of study findings. A small number of context variables may have been insufficient to investigate the impact of context on collaboration, and potential model and variable misspecification and/or measurement errors may have occurred.

Abstract:

Aging population is a worldwide phenomenon and Hong Kong is of no exception. Around 13% of the total population was aged over 65 in mid-2011 and it is projected to follow a remarkable rising trend in the future. In view of this and the increasing housing demand of the elderly people, the Hong Kong Government has adopted the concept of “Aging in Place” and “Community Care” to initiate a serious of housing policies and provisions to cater for the various special needs of the low-income elderly. For those middle-income elderly who are outside the “welfare net” of the government, the Hong Kong Housing Society has implemented the “Senior Citizen Residences Scheme” a decade ago which offers a choice of residence for them to live a safe, comfortable and independent lifestyle with provision of integrated elderly care services. In this paper, the eligibility, scheme features, housing facilities, provision of services, operation arrangements and community supports of Housing for Senior Citizens (HSC) provided by the HKHA and Senior Citizen Residences Scheme (SEN) provided by the HKHS will be studied to evaluate the effectiveness of the housing schemes provided by both organizations. Factors that contribute to life satisfaction and successful aging of the elderly will be further looked into. Based on the comments collected from the questionnaires distributed to the elderly residents of the HKHA and HKHS housing estates under study, recommendations will then be given for future improvement of the housing policies.

Abstract:

This study explored the emerging Self-Imposed Activity Limitation (SIAL) theory among community dwelling elders. This theory was examined using the proposed Aging Well Conceptual model which was guided by Baltes' Selection, Optimization with Compensation model, Markus and Nurius' Envisioned Possible Selves theory, Kuypers and Bengtson's Social Breakdown Syndrome model, Bandura's Self-Efficacy theory, and Rotter's Locus of Control theory. The objectives of this study were to explore the relationships among multiple variables in a hierarchical model and to examine the explanatory power of the SIAL variables in predicting elders' well-being.A correlational descriptive design with a causal modeling approach was used employing Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) techniques. The Aging Well model was tested through a secondary analysis of the National Survey of Midlife Development in the United States (MIDUS) database selecting respondents aged 65-74 years.Two research questions guided this study. Research question one, how well does the Aging Well model fit with empirical sample data, was explored. The Aging Well model statistically approximated the MIDUS data after theoretical and statistical modifications and explained 76% of the variance of elder's well-being. The mediating effects of SIAL variables were determined by nested alternative model testing. Research question two, are the proposition statements in the Aging Well model valid, and was demonstrated empirically by the expected patterns of correlation and covariance among most of the variables in the Aging Well model.SIAL as a composite factor had a large positive effect on elder's well-being. Elders' perceived constraints and perception of aging had no direct effect on well-being. The influences of these two factors on well-being were mediated by a common factor, SIAL. These findings supported the emerging SIAL theory by suggesting that the optimal use of SIAL would lead to adaptive outcomes promoting elders' well-being. In addition, SIAL mediated the effects of elders' sense of control and perception of aging on well-being. The full range of SIAL could not be examined due to limitations inherent in secondary data analysis.

Abstract:

A basic health and lifestyle questionnaire was given to a convenience sample of 103 Ute elders, age 50 and older. Fifty-three percent reported being diagnosed with diabetes. The mean BMI (body mass index) was 33.31 (SD=8.72). For descriptive purposes, BMI was divided into three categories: less than 25, 25-29.99, 30 or above. Eleven percent were in the BMI category of less than 25. Thirty percent of Ute elders reported a BMI between 25-29.99. Fifty two percent had a BMI of 30 or above. Diabetes rates among this Ute elder sample were significantly lower with a lower income, lower education level, older age, higher BMI, and having a family history of diabetes. A binary logistic regression revealed family history (Exp [B]=3.06; p Based on this survey, the Ute Tribe should focus future wellness programs on prevention and control of diabetes and obesity among their tribe. Prevention for these chronic diseases needs to begin with the youth as well as with the older members of the tribe. Currently, the Ute tribe has two programs to treat and prevent diabetes among their tribe. The Diabetes Prevention and Control Program is a clinic to provide intervention for those Ute members with diabetes. It also provides a small gym furnished with exercise equipment for members of the tribe to use at no cost to them. The other program for the youth of the tribe teaches about the importance of nutrition and exercise in their lifestyles. Future programs should expand upon existing programs in attempts to reach the whole tribe.

Abstract:

In Canada, falls are one of the leading causes of injury and deaths for seniors. These types of injuries can typically be avoided through falls prevention programs, and past studies suggest that these health services have significantly reduced seniors’ falls risk and rates in Canada. Despite the abundance of falls prevention research, practices and programs available in the country, Aboriginal Elders remain overrepresented in fall-related injury and fatality rates. The elevated rates of falls for Aboriginal Elders indicate that current falls prevention programs and standards may not be reaching those most vulnerable to fall hazards and injuries. My thesis is written in the publishable paper format and is comprised of two papers. Using an exploratory case study methodology in paper one, I investigated the social determinants of health that Inuvialuit Elders and LFPPs identify as factors that increase, decrease, or have no effect on the likelihood of an Inuvialuit Elder experiencing a fall. Together, we found that personal health status and conditions, personal health practices and coping skills, physical environments, social support networks, and access to health services increase Inuvialuit Elders likelihood of experiencing a fall, health practices and coping skills and access to health services decrease Inuvialuit Elders likelihood of experiencing a fall, and culture has no affect on the likelihood of Inuvialuit Elders experiencing a fall. In paper two, I used a participatory action research approach informed by postcolonial theory to examine what current falls prevention recommendations are offered by local falls prevention programmers (LFPPs) in order to reduce fall rates among Inuvialuit Elders in Inuvik, Northwest Territories, Canada; and to understand how falls prevention programs for Inuvialuit Elders can be co-created with participants to be culturally safe. In it, I provide the recommended strategies of developing and implementing a culturally safe falls prevention program for Inuvialuit Elders, as suggested by the LFPPs and Inuvialuit Elders who participated in the research. Taken together, the papers in this thesis make it apparent that research concerning falls prevention for Aboriginal Elders and falls prevention programs continues to be influenced by colonial practices. As a result, there is a demonstrated need for program development and research in this area to work towards reducing health disparities and challenging colonial practices.

Abstract:

The main purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship among three important factors of the life of elderly who accommodates in an institution
institutional environment, older individuals&rsquo
attachment to place, and theirs life satisfaction. This research aimed to examine how different aspects of institutional environment determine the level of elders&rsquo
place attachment, and respectively to examine the significance of the place attachment in determining degree of older individuals&rsquo
satisfaction with their life. Institutional environment was assessed under three headlines
design, social and institutional aspects. It was also aimed to analyze the way those three aspects are interacted with each other to conclude with place attachment. The sample consisted of 120 older individuals who were from two different institutions
Seyranbaglari Rest Home and Year of 75 Resting and Caring Home of Retired Organization. The data were gathered via applying the following measures
measures of design aspect, social aspect and institutional aspect
place attachment scale, life satisfaction scale and demographic information form. A set of exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted on the data, to determine whether the items are reliable indicators of latent variables. In this study, structural equation modeling technique was used to analyze the data by using LISREL. Investigating structural relationships among same variables in the light of the related literature, two different models were specified. The results of the study indicate that, the hypotheses of the first model, saying that
there is relationship between environmental variables of an institution and the life satisfaction of the elderly, and this relation is mediated by the place attachment, were supported except for the one assuming the direct relationship between design aspect and place attachment. The second model specifies the design aspect as the predictor of the social and institutional aspects of the institutional environment. The rest of the model specifies the same structural relationships with the first model. The second model was supported completely, and was confirmed all of the relationships specified by it. In the light of the related literature, the findings of the study were discussed. Additionally, limitations of the study and suggestions for further research were investigated.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to test one theoretical explanation for elders' perceived current adequacy of everyday remembering, and the antecedent perceptions, values and beliefs, and consequent feelings related to this perception. Fourteen hypotheses, deduced from the theory of subjective forgetfulness in elders (Cromwell, 1991), tested one theoretical explanation for the relationships among: Personal Importance of Remembering, Perceived Seriousness of Forgetting, Perceived Frequency of Forgetting, Belief in a Relationship between Aging and Memory Decline, Belief in a Personal Health Risk for Memory Decline, Perceived Current Adequacy of Everyday Remembering, Distress about Current Forgetting, Concern about Future Forgetting and Self Esteem in elders. Multiple regression analysis of the data obtained from 202 community based elders, age 65 to 97, supported the assertions that perceiving self to forget frequently negatively influenced elders' judgments of their current memory adequacy and increased their distress about current forgetting. Believing that one had risk factors for memory decline influenced the current distress experienced about forgetting, and the level of concern about future memory. Present concerns about forgetting, in response to perceived frequency of forgetting and perceived risks, influenced in part the degree to which the present situation was viewed as a warning sign of potential progressive future decline. Concerns about memory and forgetting influenced elders' level of self esteem. Intriguing differences in the relationships among antecedent perceptions, values and beliefs, and consequent feelings about self were discovered between older and younger elders, and between elders who highly valued remembering and those for whom remembering was of lesser importance. Future research to expand our understanding of the subjective experience of forgetfulness in elders and potential future intervention research to increase perceived memory adequacy and decrease present and future concerns were proposed.
