Elektronisk kurve - mulighet for reduksjon av legemiddel feil i sykehus?
2013
Masteroppgave i helse- og sosialinformatikk HSI500 2012 – Universitetet i Agder, Grimstad. Oppgaven har gjennomgått en lettere revisjon etter eksamen. Endringene er beskrevet etter forordet og er er godkjent av veileder Introduksjon: Informasjonssystemer har ført til store endringer også i helsesektoren. Det meste av pasientjournalen er nå elektronisk, men arbeidsprosessene rundt forordning og administrering av legemidler foregår på de fleste sykehus fremdeles manuelt. Da legemiddelfeil er et stort problem, foreslår Helse- og Omsorgsdepartementet elektroniske systemer som et tiltak for å redusere legemiddelfeil. Tidligere forskning viser imidlertid at innføring av elektroniske systemer ikke…

The study also concludes that the affordances identified may represent …
Information diffusion model with homogeneous continuous time Markov chain on Indonesian Twitter users
2022
In this paper, a homogeneous continuous time Markov chain (CTMC) is used to model information diffusion or dissemination, also to determine influencers on Twitter dynamically. The tweeting process can be modeled with a homogeneous CTMC since the properties of Markov chains are fulfilled. In this case, the tweets that are received by followers only depend on the tweets from the previous followers. Knowledge Discovery in Database (KDD) in Data Mining is used to be research methodology including pre-processing, data mining process using homogeneous CTMC, and post-processing to get the influencers using visualization that predicts the number of affected users. We assume the number of affected u…
Donation Crowdfunding : Principles and Donor Behaviour
2020
AbstractDonation crowdfunding is a form of internet-enabled fundraising where backers provide funding based on philanthropic motivations without expectation of monetary or material rewards. Despite accounting for only a marginal share of global crowdfunding volumes, donation crowdfunding is a unique model for supporting a wide range of prosocial and charitable causes, while allowing fundraisers to leverage benefits afforded by ICT solutions for more effective and efficient fundraising. The chapter provides an overview of the limited research on donation crowdfunding while highlighting donor motivations and behaviour, as well as drivers of success in donation campaigns. We find that current …
Introducing Internet-based services in the mountain areas of Nepal: An asset pentagon perspective
2012
Published version of an article from the journal: Information Technologies & International Development. Also available from the publisher: http://itidjournal.org/itid/article/view/916 Information and communication technology for development (ICT4D) projects can only be considered successful if they lead to some kind of individual, social, or economic development. The beneªts of introducing ICT4D projects in developing countries are yet to be realized, particularly those introduced in mountainous and remote areas. Our study addresses this knowledge gap by analyzing the Nepal Wireless Networking Project from the mountain areas in Nepal using the assets pentagon model (APM). The main contribut…
Exploring knowledge work practices and evolution in distributed networks of practice
2010
Published version of an article from the journal:Electronic Journal of Knowledge Management Also available from the publisher: http://www.ejkm.com/volume-8/v8-1/v8-i1-art7.htm This paper derives from a longitudinal study conducted in a multinational company. Through an interpretive case study approach, we have explored the phenomenon of knowledge networking in distributed work. More specifically, we have focused on the evolution patterns in a particular knowledge networking structure denoted as distributed networks of practice. The paper conceptualizes this kind of network of practice as an information and communication technology (ICT) facilitated dynamic relationship of participants that …
Defining the IT artefact in social media for eparticipation: An ensemble view
2012
Published version of a paper from the European Confernece on Information Systems. Also available from the publisher: http://aisel.aisnet.org/ecis2012/175 Social media has become a popular outlet for various eParticipation activities, such as online campaigning by political parties. However, research so far has shown that political parties often have limited success with their efforts. Much is yet unclear as to the results and possible applications of social media use. This paper contributes to clarify the underlying concepts of social media, by analysing the social media IT artefact as a socio-technical object. We propose and define an ensemble view on social media use in eParticipation, an…
The support for different democracy models by the use of a web-based discussionboard
2004
Published version of a chapter published in Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 3183, 23-26. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-30078-6_4 Different initiatives are initiated to utilize ICT to maintain and develop democracy. Democracy models are developed to explain differences between different democracies. This paper reports from a case study where a web-based discussion board is developed and implemented. The findings indicate that politicians and citizens add support to different democracy models by their contributions to the web-based discussion board. Contributions from the citizens add stronger support for the neo-republican model where as politic…
Democracy Squared: Designing On-Line Political Communities to Accommodate Conflicting Interests
2005
Published version of an article published in Scandinavian Journal of Information Systems, 17 (2), 133-168. Also available from the publisher at: http://aisel.aisnet.org/sjis/vol17/iss2/5. On-line political communities, such as the Norwegian site Demokratitorget (Democracy Square), are often designed according to a set of un-reflected assumptions about the political interests of their potential members. In political science, democracy is not taken as given in this way, but can be represented by different models which characterize different relationships between politicians and the citizens they represent. This paper uses quantitative and qualitative content analysis to analyze the communicat…
Social media as public sphere : an exploratory study of online political communication in Norway
2013
Doctoral dissertation, Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences, University of Agder, Kristiansand 2013 This thesis presents an exploratory study of the use of social media in the Norwegian public sector, and contributes to the understanding of how social media can be applied to improve deliberation. The study is situated within the eParticipation research field. The motivation for the study is the reported challenges facing democracy, in the form of lower voter turnout, decline in political party membership, and a general lessening of interest for public issues and deliberation. Deliberation is seen as essential for democracy, and promoting deliberation could well lead to an increase in vo…
