Planting in the pandemic : surveillance on social media
2023
This article looks at interest-driven and informal social media practices that have flourished in the pandemic period and its ensuing renaissance of domesticity. It investigates how tending plants and discussing them on social media serve as a particular site for connecting around loving and taking care of plants. Its focus is on the discursive means with which posters – guided by social media algorithms – rhetorically co-construct a morally acceptable version of a pandemic lifestyle around houseplants. More specifically, drawing on multimodal discourse studies, critical sociolinguistics and work on digital surveillance, it investigates how members of a Finland-based social media site obser…

La libertà di espressione nell’era dei social network fra content moderation e necessità di una regolazione flessibile
2023
Starting from the premise that digital society and advances in technology determine the need for adaptation, even if only in an interpretative sense, of the legal categories of constitutionalism, the study analyzes the new dimension of the freedom of expression of thought in the “digital environment”. Through the examination of the different jurisprudential approaches expressed to protect this freedom in Europe and in the United States, the work also examines the role of social platforms, their power of self-regulation and that of content moderation, which will highlight the need for regulation of the phenomenon that balances the needs of protection of rights and those of technological adva…
Webbasert e-turisme applikasjon med værvisualisering
2023
Denne oppgaven er i samarbeid med Agder XR og Lindesnes fyrmuseum. Lindesnes fyrmuseum har hatt et ønske om å nå ut til flere folk, primært de som ikke kan besøke de, og slik vekke interesse for destinasjonen. Her ble det dermed skapt en e-turisme løsning. Dette ble gjort gjennom bruk av en visualisering applikasjon, som gjenga været på Lindesnes. Det ble satt en begrensning til produktet, og fokus skulle først og fremst være å kunne vise noen få værtyper. Det har med dette blitt utviklet to varianter av prototypen. For begge var det relevant å ha et fokus på et Human-Centered Design ved å ta i bruk Design Thinking. Den ene tar i bruk spillteknologi for å visualisere, gjennom spillmotoren U…
El lugar de las mujeres en la historia. Introducción
2023
En los años setenta del siglo XX cobraron relevancia los estudios sobre la historia de las mujeres, un modo de interpretar el pasado en el que ellas ya no eran concebidas como objetos pasivos, sino como sujetos conscientes y activos. Por tanto, había que reescribir su historia, elaborar un relato que entrara en diálogo e interacción con la Historia general para poder inscribirlas en esta de manera más completa y real. Se trata, pues, de una historia de las mujeres, pero que comprende y afecta también a los hombres, y a cómo las relaciones entre los sexos se han ido construyendo en los distintos momentos de la historia, tanto en los espacios sociales y políticos como en los privados. El libr…
El comercio electrónico en Bolivia: el nuevo horizonte y sus desafíos jurídicos
2023
El comercio electrónico ha superado la inseguridad tecnológica y jurídica que le caracterizaba hace 20 años atrás. El ciberespacio ha dejado de ser el ámbito más desregularizado para convertirse en un espacio más controlado y seguro donde actualmente se regula la identidad digital, se brinda una cobertura a la protección de datos y se prevé la creación de un euro digital y la regulación de las criptomonedas y la inteligencia artificial. No obstante, el comercio electrónico está rodeado de un halo de desconfianza, pues dista mucho de estar plenamente regulado. El Comercio Electrónico en Bolivia se abrió camino a la fuerza y sin un marco normativo que le acompañe, pues la Ley General de Telec…

Results: Children with burns that exceeded 10% total body surface area ha…
Building Situational Awareness of GDPR
2023
Because previous academic research does not comment sufficiently on how the relevant content of the European Union (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR has been properly communicated to the organisations, or how the situational awareness (SA) of GDPR has been built in the organisations, this qualitative empirical research was regarded as a valuable approach for gathering authentic research material on the practical bases of this phenomena. The aim of this empirical case study (CS) is to develop a picture of what processes organisations use to build SA of the GDPR requirements. To guide the CS, we asked how the SA for decision-making was constructed and how it was perceived in organ…

Objective The present study aimed to explore the effects of an online-delivered ACT intervention to …
Chloride ligands on DNA-stabilized silver nanoclusters
2023
DNA-stabilized silver nanoclusters (AgN-DNAs) are known to have one or two DNA oligomer ligands per nanocluster. Here, we present the first evidence that AgN-DNA species can possess additional chloride ligands that lead to increased stability in biologically relevant concentrations of chloride. Mass spectrometry of five chromatographically isolated near-infrared (NIR)-emissive AgN-DNA species with previously reported X-ray crystal structures determines their molecular formulas to be (DNA)2[Ag16Cl2]8+. Chloride ligands can be exchanged for bromides, which red-shift the optical spectra of these emitters. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations of the 6-electron nanocluster show that the …
Effect of Rotor Tilt on the Performance of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines
2023
This thesis investigated the tilt loss of FOWT in conjunction with power performance. Consisting of three main parts, where the first calculates the power loss of three turbines influenced by tilt, the next part is the AEP of a three-turbine and a 10x10 turbine farm, and at last, is an investigation of the tilt loss of turbines with different spacing. Two engineering wake models are considered and compared, Bastankhah Gaussian (BG) and Jensen (NOJ). Results showed that choosing the wake model is vital due to the deviation of 6.41% from one of the cases. Further, findings show that when three tribunes are placed in an array and downstream turbines are directly influenced by the wake, the BG …
Impact of nuclear matrix element calculations for current and future neutrinoless double beta decay searches
2023
Nuclear matrix elements (NME) are a crucial input for the interpretation of neutrinoless double beta decay data. We consider a representative set of recent NME calculations from different methods and investigate the impact on the present bound on the effective Majorana mass $m_{\beta\beta}$ by performing a combined analysis of the available data as well as on the sensitivity reach of future projects. A crucial role is played by the recently discovered short-range contribution to the NME, induced by light Majorana neutrino masses. Depending on the NME model and the relative sign of the long- and short-range contributions, the current $3\sigma$ bound can change between $m_{\beta\beta} < 40$ m…
“Historical fiction is back”: (Non)Fictional Pasts and Presents in Fred Khumalo’s metahistorical romance, The Longest March
2023
International audience; This article examines the ways Fred Khumalo’s second historical novel, The Longest March, blends different genres – from the use of gothic tropes to the rewriting of historical romances – to reflect on both the fabricated and limited nature of narrative, as well as its necessity in the South African context. The article concludes that The Longest March qualifies as a “metahistorical romance”, as it blurs the boundary between fiction and nonfiction while questioning historical discourse.

Kreativ resonnering i arbeidet med problemløsningsoppgaver
2023
Denne studien er en kvalitativ casestudie som omhandler kreativ resonnering i elevers arbeid med problemløsningsoppgaver. Formålet med studien er å finne ut hvilke uttrykksformer elevene bruker, og hvordan disse uttrykksformene bidrar og øker elevers muligheter til å kreativt resonnere. Jeg har valgt å koble kreativ resonnering til problemløsning, fordi elever gjennom møter med problemer er nødt til å tenke nytt, anvende nye strategier, og være kreative når de argumenterer for sine løsningsstrategier. Valget falt mer spesifikt på problemløsningsoppgaver innenfor tematikken romforståelse. I studien er det brukt deltakende observasjon som metode, med bruk av videoopptak. Datainnsamlingen fore…
"Not My Responsibility!" - A Comparative Case Study of Organizational Cybersecurity Subcultures
2023
Despite significant technological advancements and the increasing sophistication of cyber- attacks in today’s modern society, organizations underestimate the human link in cybersecu- rity. Many still overlook that human behavior and decision-making are crucial in protecting sensitive information and mitigating risks. Organizations seemingly prioritize investigating time and resources into improving their technological cybersecurity measures rather than increasing the employees’ cybersecurity knowledge. These actions significantly impact the cybersecurity culture of the company. Cybersecurity culture refers to the shared values, beliefs, and actions of the employees in an organization that e…

Kaupungistuminen ja alueiden väliset tuloerot Suomessa
2023
Tämän analyysin keskeinen tutkimuskysymys on, missä aluekehityksessä mennään Suomessa. Analyysissa tarkastellaan suomalaisessa aluekehitystutkimuksessa saatuja tuloksia ja eritellään sekä aluekehityksen pitkää linjaa että sen viimeaikaista luonnetta kahden keskeisen määrittäjän, väestö- ja tulotietojen avulla. Kysymykset ovat: miten yhtäällä kaupungistuminen ja toisaalla alueellisten tuloerojen kehitys on edennyt? Empiirinen analyysi perustuu pääosin Tilastokeskuksen StatFin-tietokannasta poimittuihin, yhdistettyihin ja analysoituihin tietoihin. Alueellisen keskittymisen eli kaupungistumisen pitkää trendiä tarkastellaan väestötietojen avulla vuodesta 1880 alkaen. Toteutunutta alueellista ke…
Mennesker og pollinerende insekter i norske landskap - En multimodal kritisk diskursanalyse av Nasjonal pollinatorstrategi
2023
Med utgangspunkt i den pågående naturkrisens sosiale implikasjoner, avdekker og drøfter denne undersøkelsen hvordan natursyn, sosiale maktstrukturer og forholdet mellom mennesker og andre arter kommer til uttrykk i Nasjonal pollinatorstrategi, som er et politisk styringsdokument for ivaretakelse av pollinerende insekter i Norge. Dette gjøres ved bruk av metoden multimodal kritisk diskursanalyse. Undersøkelsen viser at strategiplanen fremmer et antroposentrisk natursyn hvor insektene har en instrumentell rolle. Naturvern blir nærmest synonymt med vern av nytteorganismer. Effektiv pollinering i et nyliberalt jordbrukslandskap og på områder hvor tilretteleggelse for pollinatorer ikke kommer i …
Measuring Movie Script Similarity using Characters, Keywords, Locations, and Interactions
2023
Measuring similarity between multilayer networks is difficult, as it involves various layers and relationships that are challenging to capture using distance measures. Existing techniques have focused on comparing layers with the same number of nodes and ignoring interrelationships. In this research, we propose a new approach for measuring the similarity between multilayer networks while considering interrelationships and networks of various sizes. We apply this approach to multilayer movie networks composed of layers of different entities (character, keyword, and location) and interrelationships between them. The proposed method captures intra-layer and inter-layer relationships, providing…
