An experimental investigation on the long-term compatibility of preheated crude palm oil in a large compression ignition diesel engine
2018
An experimental study was carried out on a large stationary compression ignition engine to evaluate the long-term compatibility and durability issues associated with the use of crude palm oil as fuel. Two different preheating temperatures (60 and 80 °C) were adopted to assess the potential improvements related to lower fuel viscosity. The results obtained, in terms of in-cylinder carbon deposits and engine wear, were compared with the results obtained using ordinary diesel fuel. For each fuel and preheating temperature, the engine was operated for 300 consecutive h, during which several engine lubricant samples were collected and analysed to determine soot and fuel contaminations, viscosity…

Utvikling av nye fellesmoduler innen sosialarbeiderutdanningene i Midt-Norge og Universitetet i Agder
2015
- I Stortingsmelding nr. 13 (2011-2012) Utdanning for velferd. Samspill i praksis (Samspillsmeldingen) kap. 9.7.1 påpekes spesielt utfordringer innen utdanning til sosialfaglig arbeid og det å få tydeliggjort sosialfaglig felleskompetanse. Det er behov for endring innenfor hver av BSV-utdanningene og i samspillet mellom dem. Det ønskes bredere grunnutdanninger og mer tverrfaglig samarbeid. Det er nødvendig med flere faglige felleselementer og tverrprofesjonell samarbeidslæring, og den sosialfaglige kompetansen må styrkes. Kunnskapsdepartementet bestemte seg for gjennomføring av et nasjonalt SAK-prosjekt som skulle ledes av UHR. I regi av UHR er St.meld. 13 blitt fulgt opp med prosjektet Sos…
Videreutdanning i barnevernfaglig veiledning – hvorfor, hvordan og hva videre?
2016
Dette er den aksepterte manuskriptversjonen. Publisert versjon tilgjengelig på http://doi.org/10.18261/issn.1891-1838-2016-03-04-07 Store belastninger, spesielt for nyansatte, er en kjent utfordring for barneverntjenesten. Svært mange ansatte velger å slutte i barnevernet, og dette er et problem for tjenestene som mister kompetanse og kontinuitet. For å styrke tjenestene iverksatte den forrige regjeringen satsingen barnevernløftet (Barne-, likestillings- og inkluderingsdepartementet, 2012–2013). Barnevernløftet innebærer blant annet et ressursløft der kompetanseheving står sentralt. Et viktig verktøy i arbeidet med å heve kompetansen i barnevernet er veiledning, og ideen er å innføre dette …

Social Services, Social Innovation and Multi-Actor Collaboration: A Civil Society Organisation Perspective
2022
A central focus of this PhD dissertation is to advance an understanding of how social innovation is generated through the perspective of civil society organisations (CSOs) that provide social services to vulnerable groups through collaboration with multiple actors in the fragile context, with a legacy of war. An “agency-structure” approach has been applied as an overarching perspective throughout this dissertation. Theories such as institutional theory (new institutionalism and institutional networking), resource-dependency theory as well as the concepts of social innovation, collaboration, non-state service provision, NGO-isation and the third sector-public services provision present the m…
Sexual violence and children's rights : A mixed methods study of teachers' and students' perceptions of teaching practice in social science education.

The purpose of this doctoral dissertation in social science education is to explore teachers' and students' perceptions of teaching practice related to gender, sexuality, harassment, and abuse in upper secondary school in Norway. This is an article-based dissertation consisting of three articles and an extended abstract. Few studies have addressed teachers" and students' perceptions of teaching practice concerning sensitive issues in the mandatory subject for social science in Norwegian upper secondary school. Previous research has indicated that teaching practice on gender, sexuality, harassment and abuse varies greatly, but few studies have thoroughly examined how we can understand this v…
Morskap, migrasjon og digitale medier : En institusjonell etnografi av den digitaliserte hverdagen til mødre med migrasjonsbakgrunn
2021
Paper III will be available from 25/11/2021. In the dissertation, I explore how mothers who have migrated to Norway as adults experience mothering in today’s digitalised Norwegian society. Unique to my project is that I study how practices and ideals related to both parenting and digitalisation in welfare state institutions may shape how migrant mothers’ experience their mothering. I also contribute to the discussion of what social work can include, at a time when digitalisation is changing family life, social work and society at large.
