Sorterius - An augmented reality app for encouraging outdoor physical activity for people with intellectual disabilities
2022
Many with intellectual disabilities (ID) have difficulties adhering to current physical activity guidelines. The goal of this study was to develop a mobile app for assisting people with ID to be more physically active. We implemented a solution that combines the digital and real world using augmented reality (AR). Eight people working with people with ID (special education teachers, social workers, psychologists, and researchers) tested the app and completed a usability test. Results indicate that a mobile app focusing on everyday life scenarios can have a potential value for the targeted user group, but AR solutions can be challenging. publishedVersion
Velferdsteknologi i koronaens tid – Starten på et nytt helsevesen?
2021
Master´s thesis in Helath Informatics- full time (HSI501) Jeg jobber i helsevesenet og har i de siste årene fått mer ansvar når det gjelder IKT på arbeidsplassen. I den forbindelse ønsket jeg å se nærmere på bruken av velferdsteknologiske verktøy innen psykisk helsevern i Norge. Hvilke tilbud finnes, og hvor effektive er disse? Dette er noen av spørsmålene jeg ønsket å besvare i løpet av denne oppgaven. Jeg tok derfor utgangspunkt i følgende problemstlling: Hva må til for å øke bruken av velferdsteknologi innen psykisk helsevern? Hva er helsepersonells forhold til velferdsteknologi, og hvilke faktorer må ligge til rette for å sikre god implementering? Hensikten med prosjektet er å undersøke…

User-centred Design with a Remote Approach: Experiences from the Chronic Pain Project
2020
User-centred design involves end-users or user groups during all the parts of the development process. The research project Chronic Pain aims to develop a shared decision making application for patients and physicians, addressing individually adapted pain treatment. The project employs a user-centred design process, and in middle of it, Covid-19 pandemic social distancing restrictions were imposed. This paper presents how the user-centred design process together with a patient organisation was transformed to a digital approach and the experiences from performing a remote co-creation user workshop. The digital approximation had a satisfactory result and the main contribution lies in the shar…
Sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence II: Review of passive measurement setups, protocols, and their application at the leaf to canopy level
2019
Imaging and non-imaging spectroscopy employed in the field and from aircraft is frequently used to assess biochemical, structural, and functional plant traits, as well as their dynamics in an environmental matrix. With the increasing availability of high-resolution spectroradiometers, it has become feasible to measure fine spectral features, such as those needed to estimate sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (F), which is a signal related to the photosynthetic process of plants. The measurement of F requires highly accurate and precise radiance measurements in combination with very sophisticated measurement protocols. Additionally, because F has a highly dynamic nature (compared with othe…

Self-sufficient PV-H2 Alternative Energy Objects
2016
Energy storage becomes more important as mankind switch to renewable energy, away from fossil resources. Traditional way – batteries - offer a limited number of cycles, require regular maintenance; nevertheless gravitational storage, flywheels, compressed air are mainly large scale and expensive methods. The hydrogen as energy carrier and hydrogen fuel cells are possible option to store different amounts of energy for relatively long times with low losses. Different solutions for self-sufficient sun/wind energy objects are analysed - the solar radiation collecting systems, wind power generators, and high pressure electrolysis technologies for hydrogen production and the metal-hydride energy…
Connections Between Topology and Macroscopic Mechanical Properties of Three-Dimensional Open-Pore Materials
2018
This work addresses a number of fundamental questions regarding the topological description of materials characterized by a highly porous three-dimensional structure with bending as the major deformation mechanism. Highly efficient finite-element beam models were used for generating data on the mechanical behavior of structures with different topologies, ranging from highly coordinated bcc to Gibson–Ashby structures. Random cutting enabled a continuous modification of average coordination numbers ranging from the maximum connectivity to the percolation-cluster transition of the 3D network. The computed macroscopic mechanical properties–Young's modulus, yield strength, and Poisson's ratio–co…
L'assaig català en l'època postmoderna: funció social i especificitat estètica
2015
Aquesta tesi doctoral pretén oferir una definició completa i operativa de l'assaig entés com a gènere literari, seguint patrons estètics i sociològics. Aquesta definició s'aplica a un corpus d'anàlisi delimitat entre l'any 1962 i l'any 2012 i circumscrit al camp literari català, però aspira a ser homologable per a la resta de literatures europees. S'hi combinen, per tant, aportacions de la retòrica, la pragmàtica, l'anàlisi del discurs i la teoria de la literatura, les quals es concreten en l'estudi d'exemples del corpus establit.
