Knowledge Brokering in an Era of Communication Visibility
2023
This study presents an analysis of the extent to which enterprise social media (ESM) use enhances visibility of content (message transparency) and connections (network translucence) in organizations, and how this affects knowledge brokering. The findings support the theory of communication visibility by demonstrating that ESM use is associated with perceptions of message transparency and network translucence. Furthermore, the findings suggest that employees, regardless of their position within a network, are provided with a vision advantage and thus have the ability to engage in knowledge brokering. Future work needs to examine the impact of network characteristics on these effects. This ar…
„Comparing“ American and South African literatures (through Afrofuturism): methodology and challenges (online seminar)
2023
My original thesis project was ‘Representations of monstrosity in afrofuturist American and South African literature’, and it was meant as a follow up to my master’s thesis which consisted in analyzing monstrosity in short story collections by an African American and a South African author: Friday Black (Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, 2018) and Intruders (Mohale Mashigo, 2018). I had used afrofuturism not as my main focus then, but as a subchapter in my work, When I started working on my thesis project, I took the term ‘afrofuturism’ for granted when applied to South African works, but the texts I have read and the (South African) encounters I have had have led me to rethink my work and my appro…

Sequential Iron-Catalyzed C(sp2)–C(sp3) Cross-Coupling of Chlorobenzamides/Chemoselective Amide Reduction and Reductive Deuteration to Benzylic Alcoh…
2023
Benzylic alcohols are among the most important intermediates in organic synthesis. Recently, the use of abundant metals has attracted significant attention due to the issues with the scarcity of platinum group metals. Herein, we report a sequential method for the synthesis of benzylic alcohols by a merger of iron catalyzed cross-coupling and highly chemoselective reduction of benzamides promoted by sodium dispersion in the presence of alcoholic donors. The method has been further extended to the synthesis of deuterated benzylic alcohols. The iron-catalyzed Kumada cross-coupling exploits the high stability of benzamide bonds, enabling challenging C(sp2)–C(sp3) cross-coupling with alkyl Grign…

Monitoring of stress distribution in damaged small-scale masonry walls by using two innovative sensors
2023
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) represents a strategic solution for the preservation of cultural heritage buildings. Existing masonry structures often suffer reductions in mechanical performances due to physiological aging of material constituents, external actions, and effect of catastrophic natural events. In many cases, the prompt prediction of damage in masonry elements is difficult and it can cause sudden collapses, compromising the safety of people. The proposed experimental study examines the effectiveness of two low-cost and innovative stress sensors, i.e. piezoelectric and capacitive stress sensors, for SHM of masonry structures. To this scope, the sensors were embedded in the m…

Klynger og grønn omstilling av entreprenørielle økosystemer - En caseundersøkelse av GCE NODE og Agder
2023
Som et resultat av klimaendringer er vi nødt til å omstille oss til et samfunn med betydelig mindre negative konsekvenser for klima og miljø. I denne oppgaven har jeg sett på følgende forskerspørsmål; Hvordan kan en klynge bidra til å omstille et entreprenørielt økosystem i grønn retning? I teoridelen har jeg valgt å lene meg på teorier om klynger, grønn omstilling, entreprenørielle økosystemer og ressurser. Disse teoriene har jeg valgt fordi de kan på ulikt vis bidra til å kaste lys over problemstillingen. I korte trekk sier teorien at klynger kan bidra til grønn omstilling gjennom å oppgradere ulike ressurser på bedrifts- og systemnivå. Mulighetsrommet for grønn omstilling avhenger i stor…

The wind of protest goes ... and then returns. Feminist movements in Italy from the 1970s to the 2020s
2023
The chapter deals with the actual trends in the sociology of social movements within multi-level governance. In the first part, it illustrates the differences between “Movements of the 1960s and 1970s” and “New” social movements, stressing the approach defined by Jürgen Habermas. As a focus, it points out a critical analysis of collective mobilisation in Italy. In the face of a trend towards alignment of urban governance modes across Europe, current mobilisations revolve around issues of environmental protection, access rights to high-quality schools, higher education, work, protection for working mothers etc. The forecasts of rapid exhaustion of the protest waves of the 1960s and 1970s wit…
Vedlikehold av stolpene i distribusjonsnettet i Agder - Levetidsstudie
2023
Full text not available This thesis was written in collaboration with Glitre Nett, where the purpose is to analyse the lifespan of power masts in the high voltage distribution grid in Agder. This is done by studying several factors that can impact the lifespan of the masts and by developing a model to estimate the number of masts that should be replaced in the coming years, based on how the grid is operated today. Access to electricity is essential in today's society. However, it is difficult to determine an exact lifespan for the power lines in the grid. Therefore, several factors such as impregnation, foundation and the number of poles were considered as possible influencing factors on th…

The obstacles to the development of secondary education in Spain, 1857-1900
2023
Human capital is one of the pillars of economic growth and development. However, the economic analysis of human capital presents a large number of difficulties, especially since the mechanisms that allow the accumulation of this type of capital, skills and knowledge, are intrinsic to human nature and, in general, are difficult to determine. But, in addition, the formation of human capital results from formal and informal learning and occurs throughout life, so its measurement is a challenge. Trying to overcome the drawbacks that the analysis of human capital poses, some researchers have proposed the differentiation of human capital into types or levels in order to see its differential effec…
Assessing the effectiveness of GraphoLearn combined with classroom instruction on phonics : a randomised control trial
2023
Proficiency in reading is a gateway for learning. However, the literacy rate in India stands at only 73% today. Many children studying in English-medium public schools often face a learning disadvantage through the schooling years since they struggle in learning to read in English which manifests into a struggle with reading to learn in later years. This disadvantage is more pronounced in children living in poverty. Thus, consistent efforts towards building foundational literacy skills of these children when developmentally appropriate is important to overcome the learning crisis. The aim of this study was to determine whether GraphoLearn, a computer assisted learning tool, combined with Gr…
Analysis of the German Commuter Network Period 2013 -2021
2023
Understanding the behavior of commuters is crucial as the number of commuters steadily rises, causing significant traffic congestion in many cities. Indeed, commuter behavior is vital in city and transport planning and policy-making. Previous studies have investigated various factors that may impact commuting decisions. Still, these studies are often limited by the scale of data examined, including time duration, space, and the number of commuters. To address this gap, we gathered large-scale inter-city commuting data in Germany and analyzed the weighted commuting network from 2013 to 2021. This work relies on publicly available data so that the results can be reproduced.
High Plasma Angiopoietin-2 Levels Predict the Need to Initiate Dialysis within Two Years in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
