Sakshandsamar Arkiv 2018000533-3 Guri Olsen, K2 - G00 Høyringsuttale frå Aurland kommune - Prosjekt prehospitale tenester - fase 1 Vedlagt følgjer høyringsuttale frå Aurland kommune, kommunestyret 31.05.18. KS- vedtak sak 037/18: Gode prehospitale tenester er viktigfor at våre innbyggjarar skal kjenne seg trygge. Slik det er no, so er responstida på ambulansen i Aurland altfor dårleg. Det tek 43,7 minutt å nå 90% av innbyggjarane, og i 64% av akuttilfella nådde ikkje ambulansen fram innan 25 min. Dette er hhv. tredje dårlegast og nest dårlegast i fylket. Aurland er ein liten kommune i folketal med sine knappe 1800 innbyggjarar, men det er store mengder besøkjande og gjennomgangstrafikk her. Flåmsbana åleine har 1 million reisande pr år, me har E16 og FV50 med stor gjennomgangstrafikk, ca 150 cruiseskip i sommarhalvåret i tillegg til mange andre rute- og turistbåtar, fullbooka campingplassar og hotell, mange fotturistar og syklande i Aurlandsdalen, Flåmsdalen, Rallarvegen osv.. Me har mange tunnelar som gir ekstra utfordringar i høve tryggleik og ulukker. Bl.a. so vil ei stenging i Lærdalstunnelen kunne føre til at ambulanse frå Lærdal ikkje kjem seg til oppdrag i Aurland, og næraste ambulanse er då Voss som er 1 time unna. Det er ikkje forsvarleg å ikkje ha ambulanse stasjonert i Aurland, og i samband med "Prosjekt prehospitale tenester" krev Aurland at det vert lagt opp til ambulanse fast stasjonert i Aurland. Det er ikkje forsvarleg å erstatta ambulansetenester med akutthjelparordning. Akutthjelparordninga må ikkje organiserast slik at kostnaden vert flytta frå Helse Førde til kommunane.

DRG-gruppert NPR-melding (fra NPR) for alle pasientar i Helse Vest RHF, på HF-nivå pr kommune 2. DRG-gruppert uttrekk innhenta frå Helse Førde HF, dette for å få data på sjukehusnivå i føretaket 3. DRG gruppert uttrekk innhenta frå Helse Møre og Romsdal HF, over aktivitet på Volda og Mork for pasienter fra Nordfjord-regionen Det er et marginalt avvik mellom datagrunnlag for Helse Vest RHF og datagrunnlaget vi har motteke direkte frå Helse Førde HF. Helse Førde HF rapporterar 41 (+1,4 %) flere dagopphald og 49 (-0,9 %), færre døgnopphald og 4 (-0,01 %) færre polikliniske konsultasjonar enn dei «lukka» filane for Helse Vest RHF. Datagrunnlag for 2011 er basert på grupperte NPR-meldingar innhenta fra Helse Førde HF, samt Volda sjukehus og Mork rehabiliteringssenter Tellar-eininga i datagrunnlaget, er sjukehusopphald/konsultasjonar som inngår i ISF-ordninga.

  • Journalism After the Monopoly on Publishing Has Been Broken
    69 Journalism After the Monopoly on Publishing Has Been Broken Olav Anders Øvrebø Most journalism that focuses on mass media in Norway has a business orientation. A broader media journalism with a more varied approach may make a decisive contribution to the re-definition of journalism and the role of journalists now that Internet, ‘the Web’, has broken established media’s monopoly on the privilege to publish. Can the press possibly compete with television, “a medium that, in a matter of speaking, lets its audience actually witness events as they happen”? The question was asked in a rhetorical vein by Norwegian editor Chr. A. R. Christensen in 1961, the year after television was introduced in Norway. Christensen was Editor-in-Chief of Verdens Gang, a post he held from the paper’s start in 1945 until his death in 1967.1 Among his many talents, Christensen was a shrewd media analyst, as Martin Eide writes in his biography of Christensen, published in 2006.2 He went on to answer his question about the competitive strength of the press with an emphatic “Yes”: Where television is clearly superior in its speed and ability to provide ‘presence’, the press is unsurpassed when it comes to analysis, interpretation and evaluation, Christensen declared. A history of Norwegian journalism about the media has yet to be written, but when it is, Christensen’s analyses will have a given place in it. Decisive junctures, such as when one or another new media technology appears on the scene, are probably the most interesting periods for historians looking for innovation and definitive steps in the development of journalism.

  • Aurland - Sogndal Samfunnsøkonomisk Analyse
    April 2018 Aurland - Sogndal Samfunnsøkonomisk analyse i Notat Dokumentet sendes til: Saksbehandler/Adm. enhet: Offentlig Eivind A. Fossland /UPØ Karin Løvebrant Væstermark /UPM Tilhørende prosjektnummer: 10167 Ansvarlig/Adm. enhet: Tilhørende prosjektnavn: Aurland–Sogndal Anders Kringstad /UPM Oppgradering 420 kV Carl-Petter Haugland /UPØ Underlag til: Konsesjonssøknad Dokument ID: 2770414 Dato: 02.05.2018 i Sammendrag Vi anbefaler en ny 420 kV forbindelse på Aurland-Sogndal Denne analysen viser at det er lønnsomt å øke kapasiteten på forbindelsen Aurland-Sogndal i vårt forventningsscenario. Anbefalt løsningsvalg er en ny 420 kV luftledning. Økt utbygging av ny fornybar kraftproduksjon nord for Sognefjorden og de nye mellomlandsforbindelsene til Storbritannia og Tyskland vil øke flaskehalsen på dagens forbindelse. Vi forventer at dette vil gi større prisforskjeller nord og sør for fjorden og økt antall timer med nullpris og vanntap i våte år. Det er også behov for reinvesteringer på forbindelsen de neste tiår. Lønnsomheten av tiltaket er avhengig av fremtidig kraftpris og mengde ny vannkraft nord for Sognefjorden. Det er en begrenset flaskehals over Sognefjorden i dag Perioder med mye nedbør gir et stort kraftoverskudd i området nord for Sognefjorden, hovedsakelig mellom Ørskog stasjon i nord og Sogndal stasjon i sør. Kraften flyter oftest sørover fra Sogn og Fjordane, over Sognefjorden og videre henholdsvis vestover mot BKK-området og østover gjennom Hallingdal mot Østlandet. Det er i hovedsak variasjoner i tilsiget som styrer størrelsen på flyten, der våte perioder gir høyere flyt. I slike perioder kan de to 300 kV-ledningene Aurland-Sogndal og Hove-Sogndal som inngår i snittet over Sognefjorden være en flaskehals.

  • Norwegian Anorthosites and Their Industrial Uses, with Emphasis on the Massifs of the Inner Sogn-Voss Area in Western Norway
    NGU-BULL 436, 2000 - PAGE 103 Norwegian anorthosites and their industrial uses, with emphasis on the massifs of the Inner Sogn-Voss area in western Norway JAN EGIL WANVIK Wanvik, J.E. 2000: Norwegian anorthosites and their industrial uses, with emphasis on the massifs of the Inner Sogn- Voss area in western Norway. Norges geologiske undersøkelse Bulletin 436, 103-112. Anorthositic rocks are common in several geological provinces in Norway. Many occur at scattered localities in different parts of the country, but the two largest anorthosite complexes in western Europe are situated in western Norway. These two Precambrian massifs, the Inner Sogn-Voss province (~ 1700 Ma), and the Rogaland province (~ 930 Ma) have been investigated for use as a raw material for various industrial applications. Anorthosite with a high anorthite content (An >70) is easily soluble in mineral acids, and the bytownite plagioclase of the Sogn anorthosite makes it well suited for industrial processes based on acid leaching. The high aluminium content, ca. 31% Al2O3, has made these occurrences interesting for various industrial applications, especially as an alternative raw material for the Norwegian aluminium industry. With this goal in mind, geological investigations and processing studies have been carried out at various times during the past century. At present, a refined process utilising both the silicon and the calcium contents of the anorthosite has renewed industrial interest in these acid soluble anorthosites. Jan Egil Wanvik, Geological Survey of Norway, N-7491 Trondheim, Norway.
