Evaluating evaluative bibliometrics: a case study of two research groups
2018
Bibliometrics is a method increasingly used to perform evaluations of scientific output and impact, in particular in order to distribute means, such as research grants. But also internally within universities and other research institutions. Various performance and impact meaures are used to establish quality of research. This can be highly problematic, not only in terms of ethics, but also with regards to method. Especially considering the proliferation of tools to perform bibliometric analysis, which means that analyses are increasingly performed without actual understanding of bibliometrics as a scientific method. In our research we have compared two research groups in the same field of …
Visuell identitet : En sosialsemiotisk analyse av hvordan utdanningsinstitusjoners identitet kommer til uttrykk gjennom institusjonenes logo og netts…
2017
Masteroppgave samfunnskommunikasjon KOM500 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 Formålet med denne oppgaven er å belyse hvordan identitet kan analyseres som sosialsemiotikk og hvordan identitet kan uttrykkes gjennom semiotiske ressurser. Ved å studere et utvalg tekster knyttet til utdanningsinstitusjoner vil jeg komme frem til svar på problemstillingen “hva slags identitet kommuniserer universiteter og høyskoler gjennom kombinasjon av ulike visuelle elementer?”. Dette krever ett nærmere blikk på begrepet identitet, samt hvilke samfunnsmessige krav som stilles til utdanningsinstitusjoner. Med sosialsemiotikkens perspektiver gjør jeg en analyse av et utvalg nettsider og logoer for å se på hvilke meni…
La interpretación jurídica con perspectiva de género : Un decálogo de estándares interpretativos
2021
: The Argentine legal system is part of the constitutional paradigm. In this case, the gender perspective is an essential condition to make a legal correct interpretation because its postulates influence any notion and course of legal action. On this matter, I assume a theoretical foundation of the gender theory and I recommend a decalogue of interpretative standards which receive its vision.
Barack Obama og Donald Trump - En retorisk analyse av deres innsettelsestaler
2017
Masteroppgave samfunnskommunikasjon KOM500 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 Denne masteroppgaven er en retorisk analyse av Barack Obama og Donald Trumps innsettelsestaler. En innsettelsestale er den første offisielle talen den nyvalgte presidenten fremfører for folket, og er en særegen sjanger i seg selv, siden den tar sikte på å forene folket etter en lang valgkamp. Formålet med oppgaven er å finne ut hvilke retoriske strategier Barack Obama og Donald Trump bruker for å overbevise sitt publikum, og hvordan de lykkes med innsettelsestalens formål. Oppgaven baserer seg på teori vedrørende retorikk og innsettelsestalens epideiktiske sjangerbeskrivelse, noe som danner rammeverket for oppbyggingen …

Molecular surveillance of norovirus, 2005–16 : an epidemiological analysis of data collected from the NoroNet network
2018
BACKGROUND: The development of a vaccine for norovirus requires a detailed understanding of global genetic diversity of noroviruses. We analysed their epidemiology and diversity using surveillance data from the NoroNet network.METHODS: We included genetic sequences of norovirus specimens obtained from outbreak investigations and sporadic gastroenteritis cases between 2005 and 2016 in Europe, Asia, Oceania, and Africa. We genotyped norovirus sequences and analysed sequences that overlapped at open reading frame (ORF) 1 and ORF2. Additionally, we assessed the sampling date and country of origin of the first reported sequence to assess when and where novel drift variants originated.FINDINGS: W…
The interleukin (IL)-31/IL-31R axis contributes to tumor growth in human follicular lymphoma
2014
Interleukin (IL)-31A binds to an heterodimer composed of IL-31 receptor A (IL-31RA) and Oncostatin M Receptor (OSMR). The IL-31/IL-31R complex is involved in the pathogenesis of various skin diseases, including cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. No information is available on the relations between the IL-31/IL-31R complex and B-cell lymphoma. Here we have addressed this issue in follicular lymphoma (FL), a prototypic germinal center(GC)-derived B-cell malignancy. IL-31 enhanced primary FL cell proliferation through IL-31R-driven signal transducer and activator of transcription factor 1/3 (STAT1/3), extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) and Akt phosphorylation. In contrast, GC B cells d…
Mast cells as rapid innate sensors of cytomegalovirus by TLR3/TRIF signaling-dependent and -independent mechanisms
2014
The succinct metaphor, ‘the immune system's loaded gun', has been used to describe the role of mast cells (MCs) due to their storage of a wide range of potent pro-inflammatory and antimicrobial mediators in secretory granules that can be released almost instantly on demand to fight invaders. Located at host–environment boundaries and equipped with an arsenal of pattern recognition receptors, MCs are destined to be rapid innate sensors of pathogens penetrating endothelial and epithelial surfaces. Although the importance of MCs in antimicrobial and antiparasitic defense has long been appreciated, their role in raising the alarm against viral infections has been noted only recently. Work on cy…
Stakeholders, contradictions and salience: An empirical study of a Norwegian G2G effort
2006
Author's version of a chapter in Proceedings of the 39th Annual Hawaii International Conference on Systems Sciences. Also available from the publisher at http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/HICSS.2006.436 Previous studies indicate that the expected effects of e-Government are slower to realize than initially expected. Several authors argue that e-Government involves particularly complex settings, consisting of a variety of stakeholders promoting different and often conflicting objectives. Yet, few studies have explicitly addressed the inherent challenges of this complexity. This study focuses on the extent to which contradictory stakeholder objectives can help explain the relatively slow progress of …
