Mathematical model of detrimental inflammation in the late stage of colorectal cancer
2019
Master's thesis Mathematics MA503 - University of Agder 2019 Tykktarmskreft er den nest mest vanlige kreftformen blant kvinner, og den tredje mest vanlige blant menn, med 1.8 millioner nye tilfeller og 861.000 dødsfall i 2018 ifølge Health Organization GLOBOCAN. Matematisk modellering av tykktarmskreft kan kaste et bedre lys på dynamikken til denne dødelige sykdommen, og foreslå ulike strategier for behandling. Vi studerer interaksjonen mellom viktige biomarkører foreslått av en konseptuell matematisk modell av skadelig inflammasjon i senstadiet av tykktarmskreft. Vi ønsker å brukematematiske modeller for å forbedre vår forståelse av kompliserte prosesser i immunsystemet som påvirker kreftc…
Kartlegging av samhandlingsfaktorer knyttet til oppfølging av pasienter med gynekologisk kreft
2019
Masteroppgave folkehelsevitenskap ME516 - Universitetet i Agder 2019 Summary:This qualitative study higlights that lack of intangible resources such as time and availability are the most importent factors affecting vertical and horizontal interaction between health professionals in primary health care and specialist health care. It is emphasized that time is the single most important factorthat can both promote and inhibit interdisciplinary and cross-sectorial interactionbetween health proffesionals.The study highlights that these are the same factors that can promote or inhibit this interaction.Keywords: Interaction, primary healt care, intangible resources
Updating our understanding of health-related quality of life issues in children with cancer: a systematic review of patient-reported outcome measures…
2022
Abstract Background Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is a key concept in pediatric oncology. This systematic review aims to update the conceptual HRQOL model by Anthony et al. (Qual Life Res 23(3):771–789, 2014), covering physical, emotional, social and general HRQOL aspects, and to present a comprehensive overview of age- and disease-specific HRQOL issues in children with cancer. Methods Medline, PsychINFO, the Cochrane Database for Systematic Reviews (CDSR), and the COSMIN database were searched (up to 31.12.2020) for publications using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and qualitative studies in children with cancer (8–14-year) or their parents. Items and quotations were ex…
Anestesisykepleier i traumeteam : En kvalitativ studie om hvordan opplever nyutdannet anestesisykepleier å delta i traumeteam
2020
Master's thesis in Specialized nursing (ME519) Background: Our interest in the trauma team beganwhen we started working in the hospital. This interest increased as we began our education as anesthetic nurses and were allowed to join the trauma team with a larger and more important role. Anesthetic nursing is a practical profession and requires high professional knowledge and good practical skills. An anesthetic nurses hould be able to participate in pre-hospital work. A newly trained anesthetic nurse who works in trauma teams can feel very vulnerable and intimidated in an emergency situation due to the fact that they would have least amount of knowledge and experience in situations such as …
Investigating the User Experience of Virtual Reality Rehabilitation Solution for Biomechatronics Laboratory and Home Environment
2021
Virtual reality (VR) technology is a promising tool in physical rehabilitation. Research indicates that VR-supported rehabilitation is beneficial for task-specific training, multi-sensory feedback, diversified rehabilitation tasks, and patient motivation. Our first goal was to create a biomechatronics laboratory with a VR setup for increasing immersion and a motion platform to provide realistic feedback to patients. The second goal was to investigate possibilities to replicate features of the biomechatronics laboratory in a home-based training system using commercially available components. The laboratory comprises of a motion platform with 6-degrees-of-freedom (Rexroth eMotion), fitted wit…

Why have consumers opposed, postponed, and rejected Innovations during a pandemic? A Study of mobile payment Innovations
2021
The highly infectious nature of the COVID-19 virus has made the use of contactless payment methods a health exigency. Yet, consumers are resisting using mobile payments (m-payments) during the pandemic, a confounding behavior that needs to be better understood. The present study explicates this behavior by examining consumer resistance to m-payments during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, it provides more granular findings by measuring three levels of resistance/non-adoption, namely, postponement, opposition, and rejection. In this way, the study adds depth to the literature, which has largely examined resistance at an aggregate level to yield generic findings. Toward this end, the study…
Does it take two to tango? Factors related to the ease of societal uptake of scientific knowledge
2016
Science policy increasingly focuses on maximising societal benefits from science and technology investments, but often reduces those benefits to activities involving codifying and selling knowledge, thereby idealising best practice academic behaviours around entrepreneurial superstars. This paper argues that societal value depends on knowledge being used, making knowledge's eventual exploitation partly dependent upon on whether other users-societal or scientific-can use that knowledge (i.e. on how far new knowledge is cognate with users' existing knowledge). When scientists incorporate user knowledge into their research processes, what we call 'open research behaviours', their knowledge may…
Privacy-preserving scheme for mobile ad hoc networks
2011
This paper proposes a decentralized trust establishment protocol for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), where nodes establish security associations. In order to achieve privacy and security, we use homomorphic encryption and polynomial intersection so as to find the intersection of two sets. The first set represents a list of recommenders of the initiator and the second set is a list of trusted recommenders of the responder. The intersection of the sets represents a list of nodes that recommend the first node and their recommendations are trusted by the second node. In our experimental results we show that our scheme is effective even if there are 30 trusted nodes.
The Potsdam Open Source Radio Interferometry Tool (PORT)
2021
The Potsdam Open Source Radio Interferometry Tool (PORT) is the very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) analysis software developed and maintained at the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences. Chiefly, PORT is tasked with the timely processing of VLBI sessions and post-processing activities supporting the generation of celestial and terrestrial reference frames. In addition, it serves as a framework for research and development within the GFZ's VLBI working group and is part of the tool set employed in educating young researchers. Starting out from VLBI group delays, PORT estimates station and radio sources positions, as well as Earth orientation parameters, tropospheric parameters, a…
