The primary objective of capacity calculation is to reflect physical transmission limits in the power grid into limits on commercial trades at the electricity markets. The Nordic capacity calculation methodology is currently based on a Coordinated Net Transmission Capacity (CNTC) approach. This paper investigates a structural change of the power supply, in conjunction with the introduction of Flow-Based Market Coupling (FBMC) in the Nordic region. Overall, the results indicate that total welfare increases and differences between average prices are smaller when using FBMC instead of CNTC, especially on a power system with increased wind power capacity.

The workshop program of the Thirty‐Third AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI‐19) was held in Honolulu, Hawaii, on Sunday and Monday, January 27 and 28, 2019. There were 16 workshops in the program: Affective Content Analysis: Modeling Affect‐in‐Action; Agile Robotics for Industrial Automation Competition; Artificial Intelligence for Cyber Security; Artificial Intelligence Safety; Dialog System Technology Challenge; Engineering Dependable and Secure Machine Learning Systems; Games and Simulations for Artificial Intelligence; Health Intelligence; Knowledge Extraction from Games; Network Interpretability for Deep Learning; Plan, Activity, and Intent Recognition; Reasoning and Learning for Human‐Machine Dialogues; Reasoning for Complex Question Answering; Recommender Systems Meet Natural Language Processing; Reinforcement Learning in Games; and Reproducible AI. This report contains brief summaries of all the workshops that were held.

This qualitative study explored the role of religious faith, belief and practice systems in the coping mechanisms and strategies of essential hypertension patients in Accra, Ghana. Six participants were recruited for participation, of which five were Christians and one was a Muslim. Interviews were conducted and interpretative phenomenological analysis was used to analyze the data. Results showed that participants used their religious faith, beliefs and practices as coping resources. Participants used a deferring-collaborative style of religious coping, which seemed to have provided them with an avoidance strategy that protected the participants from conscious confrontation with their illness. Religious faith and beliefs also afforded the participants a sense of coherence that enabled the participants to manage their stress, reflect on their external and internal resources to promote effective coping and adaptive functioning in a health promoting manner. Implications of a deferring-collaborative style of religious coping and religious re-appraisal are discussed.

Background: The preservation of physical functions such as muscle strength, balance and mobility is fundamental to maintaining independence in activities of daily living (ADL). The physical activity level of most nursing home residents is very low, which implies that they are often subject to a decline in health, mobility, autonomy and social contacts and are also at risk of suffering a decline in mental well-being. In a previous study, we demonstrated that transfers, balance and physical activity level improved after 3 months of individually tailored intervention in nursing home residents. Objective: To evaluate the long-term effects on ADL, balance function, physical activity level, physical performance, falls-related self-efficacy, well-being and cognitive function 3 months after the completion of our intervention in nursing home residents. Methods: The study was a multicenter randomized, controlled clinical trial with a parallel-group design. It was conducted in nursing homes in Sweden, Norway and Denmark, with an intervention period lasting 3 months and a follow-up at 6 months. Initially, 322 nursing home residents with a mean age of 85 years were included; 85 from Sweden, 171 from Norway and 66 from Denmark. Of these, 241 [129 intervention group (IG), 112 control group (CG)] were eligible for the 6-month follow-up tests. The level of dependence in ADL, physical activity level, several dimensions of physical function, well-being, falls-related self-efficacy and cognitive function were assessed with reliable and valid instruments at baseline, immediately after 3 months of intervention and 3 months later at the 6-month follow-up. Results: After 3 months of intervention and an additional period of 3 months without intervention, only the following 2 variables demonstrated significant group differences: social and cognitive function, measured by the Functional Independence Measure n-r, where the IG deteriorated while the CG was almost stable. However, regarding transfers, the IG deteriorated significantly less than the CG. Conclusion: Without supervised physical exercise that challenged the individuals' capability, gains in ADL function, balance and transfer ability deteriorated during the 3 months following the intervention period. Thus, continuous, individually adjusted and supported physical activity seems crucial for the maintenance of physical functions in these vulnerable elderly persons.

In this paper we present a longitudinal perspective of exchange of information providers in hospital and home health care. More specifically we address how this practice has changed over the last six years. In three different studies we have investigated how the information exchange between hospital and home health care throughout a patient transition from admission to discharge has changed over the last six years. The information processes have gone from being mainly paper-based to being digitalized. However, there are still professional challenges to overcome which may contribute to improvements for patients in transition.

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to investigate to what degree football clubs recruit talents and give them playing time in matches. It also investigates if foreign players displace younger talents. Furthermore, it analyses to what degree the use of younger talents and foreign players influence the performances of clubs.Design/methodology/approach– The empirical data are from Norwegian elite clubs, and come from two web sites:www.altomfotballand www.nettavisen.no. The analyses were done by means of OLS-regressions.Findings– OLS-regressions showed that clubs that had many foreign players gave less playing time to U20 players than other clubs did. However, these clubs did not have fewer younger talents in the squad than other clubs did. This indicates that foreign players reduce the playing time being given to younger players, but not their ability to train with other teammates. The clubs that won the most points gave less playing time to U20 players (in terms of minutes). Surprisingly, the regression showed that the clubs that had most foreign players did not win more points than others.Research limitations/implications– Norwegian football clubs have significantly less financial resources than, for example, clubs in the big European football nations. Therefore, more research is necessary to find out whether the findings in this research corresponds with the pattern in other nations.Originality/value– So far, the discussions about these issues have mainly been based on anecdotal evidence and very little on the findings in academic research. Therefore, this research give new insight to a field that needs more empirical-based analyses.

UK Moksnes Center for Health Promotion Research, Sor Trondelag University College, Trondheim, Norway Contact: unni.karin.moksnes@hist.no Schools are an important setting for implementing health promotion activities (HPA). Center for Health Promotion Research are developing mental HPA for implementation in secondary high schools in Norway together with school nurses. Mental HPA has often in Norway been to target risk populations like young with depressive thoughts. Our HPAprograms are universal program, targeting the whole student population, and aiming at strengthen the resistance resources by teaching the students how to reveal both resources within themselves, which they have available, and in their environment; peers, teachers, family etc. An important resource is to learn more about the variance within normality, to develop their mental health literacy. To learn that all young goes through phases of mental hardship, and that this is normality. The lecture will focus on the development and content of the mental HPA, the theoretical foundation of and the implementation of the program. 8th European Public Health Conference: Parallel Sessions 81
