Å være omsorgsgiver til et menneske med hjernesvulst : En metasyntese om pårørendes opplevelse av mestringsfremmende faktorer og strategier
2020
Master's thesis in Clinical health sciences (ME520) Background: Being the next of kin of a person with a brain tumour is a stressful experience. For many it involves fear, insecurity and an overwhelming responsibility, as having to take on a new role and caring tasks. There are qualitative primary studies that have explored which coping factors eases their caregiver tasks, and which strategies they use in their everyday life as caregivers for people with brain tumours, but these have not yet been synthesized. Aim:This metasynthesis aims to identify and synthesize the evidence of which coping factors and strategies next of kin use in their role as caregivers for people with brain tumours. Me…

Helsefremmende hjemmebesøk : «en opplevelse av trygghet»
2021
Master's thesis in Clinical health sciences (ME520) Background and purpose In the health-promoting work in the municipalities and in the health services, there is a purpose to improve, by developing the services and moving them closer to where the service recipients live. One intervention that can contribute to fulfill this purpose, the municipalities responsibilities and contribute to an increased experience of mastering ones life, may be systematic health-promoting and preventive home visits in the municipalities (HFHB) (Helse –og omsorgsdepartementet, 2016). My intentions with this survey was to increase awareness on how the elderly home residents experience the health-promoting home vis…
Kartlegging av helserelatert livskvalitet hos seksåringer i Agder : Funn fra skolestartundersøkelsen året 2019/2020 og 2020/2021

Master's thesis in Clinical health sciences (ME520) Background: There is little knowledge about the quality of life in young children. To prevent low quality of life later in life and being able to work evidence-based and early interventions, it is necessary to have an overview of health-related quality of life as early as possible. Aim: The purpose of this study was to map and contribute to increased knowledge of six-year-olds health-related quality of life, involving physical and psychological well-being, autonomy and parent relation, social support and peers and school environment, by studying:1.Differences between sexes 2.Differences between children born first or second part of the yea…

Using Digital Hydraulics in Secondary Control of Motor Drive
2020
Due to the increased focus on pollution and global warming, there is a demand for energy efficient systems. This also applies to the offshore oil and gas industry. Normally used hydraulic systems tend to suffer from low energy efficiency, especially when operating with part loads. In the last decades, a new pump and motor technology has experienced increased interest due to the potential of high energy efficiency in a wide range of operation conditions. This new technology is called digital displacement machine technology. Nowadays, there is a desire from the offshore oil and gas industry to use this digital displacement machine technology to design highly efficient hydraulic winch drive sy…
Stability analysis with H∞ performance of production networks with autonomous work systems and time-varying delays
2011
Author's version of a chapter in the book: Proceeding of the 30th Chinese Control Conference. Also available from the publisher at: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=6001452&tag=1 This paper considers the problem of stability analysis with an H ∞ performance for a class of production networks of autonomous work systems with delays in the capacity changes. The system under consideration shares information between work systems and the work systems adjust capacity with the objective of maintaining a desired amount of local work in progress. An appropriate Lyapunov function is utilized to establish some delay-range-dependent conditions in terms of linear matrix inequalitie…
Advances in Permanent Deformation Modeling of Asphalt Concrete-A Review.
2022
Permanent deformation is one of the dominant asphalt concrete damages. Significant progress has been made to realistically predict the damage. In the last decade, the mechanistic approach has been the focus of research, and the fundamental theories of viscoelasticity, viscoplasticity, continuum mechanics, and micromechanics are applied to develop the material laws (constitutive equations). This paper reviews the advancement of permanent deformation models including analogical, microstructural, and continuum-based methods. Pavement analysis using the nonlinear damage approach (PANDA) is the most comprehensive and theoretically sound approach that is available in the literature. The model cou…

Master's thesis in Civil and structural engineering (BYG508) The building industry istaking measures in order to reduce its large carbon footprint. However, even more ecofriendly building solutions need to be used. External walls are constructed with a great usage of materials -in addition to being the building component were large portions of heat escape.This study answers the research question “How does timber-framed external walls with continuous outer insulation(BKI)perform from an environmental point of view?”. The software SimaPro is used to compare different types of external walls with regards to CO2-emissions. The findings in the study show thatBKI wallsdo have good energy efficien…
