Confidence building measures as soft power? : a contribution to the study of international cybersecurity
2013
Masteroppgave i samfunnskommunikasjon- Universitetet i Agder 2013 The topic of this thesis is“CBMs and international cooperation within cybersecurity”. The central research question it examines is: How can the use of CBMs in diplomacy enhance international cooperation within cybersecurity? In order to investigate this issue, I decided to conduct a number of in-depth interviews with experts within this field; these two groups of experts primarily consist of diplomats and researchers. Myfindings can be divided in two parts; the first concerns consequences of the emergence of the network society for diplomacy; the second part regards possibilities and limits of CBMs within international cybers…
Development, Usability Engineering and Testing of the Video on Demand Service Filmrommet.no
2016
Master's thesis in Multimedia and Educational Technology MM500 - University of Agder 2016 This thesis describes the design outcomes and user evaluation of the redesigned Filmrommetservice, from a human-centred point of view. Research into several interdisciplinary fields, including interaction design, design principles, usability testing and usage of movies in schools have been assessed in order to design an interface that is easy to use, engages the user and presents meaningful content. Prior to starting designing the new interface, a questionnaire survey comprised of feedback from 116 Filmrommet users was conducted. The qualitative and quantitative data from the survey covering user chara…

Ontology-based clinical decision support system applied on diabetes
2017
Master's thesis Information- and communication technology IKT590 - University of Agder 2017 Medical diagnosis is a multi-step process which is complex as it requires the consideration of many factors. Additionally, the accuracy of diagnosis varies depending on the skill and knowledge a physician has in the medical field. Using ICT solution, the physicians can be assisted so that they can make an accurate decision. Many applications have been developed to enhance physician performance and improve the patient outcome, however, the quality of these applications varies depending on knowledge representation methodology and reasoning approach adopted. Nowadays, ontology is being used in many clin…
Os, Sr, Nd, Pb, O isotope and trace element data from the Ferrar flood basalts, antarctica: evidence for an enriched subcontinental lithospheric sour…
1996
Os, Sr, Nd, Pb and O isotopes and trace element data are reported for basaltic andesite and andesite whole rocks and, in part, for selected mineral separates from the Jurassic Ferrar flood basalt province. Radiogenic Sr (> 0.709), unradiogenic Nd (εNd= −3 to −5), and radiogenic Pb isotopes, as well as low Nb/La ratios of 0.4 – 0.6 and Nb/La ratios between 0.45 and 0.6 are found for all rocks including our most primitive sample (Mg# = 71.9). This indicates involvement of either continental crust or enriched lithospheric mantle in magma genesis. 187Re/188Os correlates strongly with 187Os/188Os, with an age of 172 ± 5 Ma, in agreement with published Arsingle bondAr data. Initial 187Os/188Os of…
European citizenship : opportunities and abuses in private international family law
2021
El ensayo se centra en el papel de la autonomía jurídica en la regulación del estado familiar y las relaciones familiares entre los miembros de la unidad familiar típica o atípica. De hecho, el papel de la autonomía jurídica también ha sido ampliado con la ciudadanía europea, entendida por el Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea como una fuente autónoma de derechos. Esta ciudadanía, que se suma a la nacional, ha permitido a la pareja ?estática?, aún en ausencia del carácter transnacional de la situación familiar, elegir la ley y los instrumentos de los ordenamientos jurídicos extranjeros a aplicar al ámbito patrimonial y a las relaciones existenciales de la comunidad de vida. El ensayo …
Coffee Restores Expression of lncRNAs Involved in Steatosis and Fibrosis in a Mouse Model of NAFLD
2021
Background and aim: Coffee intake exerts protective effects against non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), although without fully cleared mechanisms. In this study we aimed to assess whether coffee consumption may influence the expression of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the liver. Methods: C57BL/6J mice were fed a 12-week standard diet (SD), high-fat diet (HFD) or HFD plus decaffeinated coffee solution (HFD + coffee). Expression of specific lncRNAs involved in NAFLD was analyzed by real-time PCR. For the most differentially expressed lncRNAs, the analysis was also extended to their mRNA targets. Results: Decaffeinated coffee intake reduced body weight gain, prevented NAFLD, lowered…
Tapology: A Game-Based Platform to Facilitate E-Health and E-Inclusion
2014
Published version of a chapter in the book: Universal Access in Human-Computer Interaction. Aging and Assistive Environments. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-07446-7_36 We have developed a tablet computer game app for low vision users that can be used to introduce a platform for gaming, internet and visual rehabilitation to older users who have not had prior experience with information communication technology (ICT). Our target user group is people diagnosed with Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). The primary goal of the app is to present a fun and engaging means for participants to engage with Information Communication Technology (ICT). A long…
