RESUMEN

This paper examines the reason for the small percentage of professional nurses with a Turkish migration background and investigates possibilities to increase this low amount. Our society grows older, and the number of chronic diseases increases. Furthermore, nursing professionals tend to migrate, and the retirement of the baby boomer generation will also create a lack of professional nurses in Vorarlberg, Austria. People with a Turkish migration background, who are the second largest group without Austrian citizenship in Austria, could be an important resource for the upcoming lack of qualified nurses. The nursing profession could be a secure career opportunity for these people, and therefore it is of great importance to make access to professional nursing training easier for people with a Turkish migration background. This paper describes the effects of migration on society, institutions and individuals and gives an overview of concepts related to how to deal with this situation. This qualitative study investigates the access to nursing training for people with a Turkish migration background from three different points of view-those of experts, students and nurses with a Turkish migration background, and people with a Turkish migration background who have to pass a university entrance qualification-in the form of guided interviews. The results will illustrate structural and social barriers due to complex social dynamics and also highlight possibilities to reduce those barriers. Based on the results, prospects for professional nursing are deduced on the macro, meso and micro levels, which should generate an increasing number of nurses with a Turkish migration background.

RESUMEN

The influence of the geometry on quantitative energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDXS) analysis is determined for a ChemiSTEM system (Super-X) in combination with a low-background double-tilt specimen holder. For the first time a combination of experimental measurements with simulations is used to determine the positions of the individual detectors of a Super-X system. These positions allow us to calculate the detector's solid angles and estimate the amount of detector shadowing and its influence on quantitative EDXS analysis, including absorption correction using the ζ-factor method. Both shadowing by the brass portions and the beryllium specimen carrier of the holder severely affect the quantification of low to medium atomic number elements. A multi-detector system is discussed in terms of practical consequences of the described effects, and a quantitative evaluation of a Fayalit sample is demonstrated. Corrections and suggestions for minimizing systematic errors are discussed to improve quantitative methods for a multi-detector system.
