Utvikling, testing og evaluering av en videobasert læringsressurs for selvstyrt bedriftsopplæring : En casestudie fra Posten Norge AS

2017

Masteroppgave Multimedia and Educational Technology MM500 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 Opplæring av ansatte er arbeidsgivers plikt og arbeidstakers rett, og er derfor en sentral del ved ethvert arbeidsforhold. Ansattes mulighet for utvikling og innflytelse i egen arbeidssituasjon har også vist seg å være fundamentale drivere for engasjement på arbeidsplassen. I samsvar med den teknologiske utviklingen muliggjør det for design av effektive læringsressurser som kan bidra med å tilgjengeliggjøre læringsmateriell, og på samme tid være med på å engasjere ansatte ved gjennomføring av bedriftsopplæring. I nåværende opplæringssituasjon i Posten Norge AS er det kun én metode for opplæring av postbud…

Efficacy and Safety of Degludec versus Glargine in Type 2 Diabetes.

2017

BACKGROUND Degludec is an ultralong-Acting, once-daily basal insulin that is approved for use in adults, adolescents, and children with diabetes. Previous open-label studies have shown lower day-To-day variability in the glucose-lowering effect and lower rates of hypoglycemia among patients who received degludec than among those who received basal insulin glargine. However, data are lacking on the cardiovascular safety of degludec. METHODS We randomly assigned 7637 patients with type 2 diabetes to receive either insulin degludec (3818 patients) or insulin glargine U100 (3819 patients) once daily between dinner and bedtime in a double-blind, treat-To-Target, event-driven cardiovascular outco…

Evaluation of an Alternative for Increasing Switch Radix

2011

In large switch-based interconnection networks, increasing the switch radix results in a decrease in the total number of network components. In this paper we evaluate an interesting strategy for building high-radix switches going beyond the integration scale bounds. This approach is independent of the evolution of single-chip switches and will remain valid as integration scale keeps evolving. Simulation results show that with a correct internal switch design, this kind of switches achieves almost the same performance as single-chip switches with the same radix, which would be unfeasible with current integration scale.

SimuRed: A flit-level event-driven simulator for multicomputer network performance evaluation

2009

The interconnection network is one of the most important multicomputer components, since it has a great impact on global system performance. Many models and simulators have been proposed to evaluate network performance. This paper presents SimuRed, an event-driven flit-level, cycle-accurate simulator to evaluate different orthogonal network configurations. The core of the simulator has been designed to be expandable and portable to different situations. Some of the advantages of this simulator over other similar tools are its visual interface, its fast execution and its simplicity. Moreover, it is multiplatform and its source code versions (C++ and Java) are freely available under GNU open-…

AI for Resource Allocation and Resource Allocation for AI: a two-fold paradigm at the network edge

2022

5G-and-beyond and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are pushing a shift from the classic cloud-centric view of the network to a new edge-centric vision. In such a perspective, the computation, communication and storage resources are moved closer to the user, to the benefit of network responsiveness/latency, and of an improved context-awareness, that is, the ability to tailor the network services to the live user's experience. However, these improvements do not come for free: edge networks are highly constrained, and do not match the resource abundance of their cloud counterparts. In such a perspective, the proper management of the few available resources is of crucial importance to impr…

CRACK PROPAGATION IN FINITE ELEMENTS AUGMENTED WITH EMBEDDED INTERPHASES

2022

In the FE analysis of quasi-brittle materials, one of the main issues is how to correctly capture cracks propagation. In particular, under specific load intensity, strains progressively localize in narrow bands, leading to a global nonlinear softening response until collapse. A variety of FE models have been proposed, which may be separated in two main groups: discrete crack models and continuous models. Discrete crack models introduce a discontinuity along the inter-element boundaries or inside elements (intra-element discontinuity). Continuous models modify the constitutive relations of the local material to better describe its behaviour in presence of a fracture. In the framework of intr…

Demo abstract: Cross-technology TDMA synchronization using energy pattern beacons

2017

When different technologies use the same frequency bands in close proximity, the resulting interference typically results in performance degradation. Coexistence methods exist, but these are often technology specific and require technology specific interference detection methods. To remove the root cause of the performance degradation, devices should be able to negotiate medium access even when using different technologies. To this end, an architecture that allows cross-technology medium access by means of a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) scheme was devised. In order to achieve cross-technology synchronization, which is required for the TDMA solution, an energy pattern beacon is trans…

The role of embeddedness and top management teams on subsidiary initiative

2018

The importance of subsidiaries reaches its pick with their entrepreneurial role. Subsidiary initiatives (SI) are seen as “discrete, proactive undertaking that advances a new way for the corporation to use or expand its resources” (Birkinshaw, 2014, p. 203), which starts with the identification of an opportunity and should achieve the commitment of resources. Nonetheless, though initiatives are beneficial for the entire MNC (Bartlett & Ghoshal, 1988; Birkinshaw & Hood, 2000; Birkinshaw et al., 2005), they are not necessarily well receive by HQ but instead the MNC corporate immune system activates and initiative are rejected (Birkinshaw & Ridderstråle, 1999). This happens because initiatives …

A New Environment for Distributed Multiple Vehicles Dynamics Control and Simulation

2007

Although there are many simulation softwares, the 3D multi-vehicle field needs further study. This paper describes a lightweight, full portable software environment for development, simulation and control of vehicles. This environment simulates ground wheeled vehicles and their environment. Multi vehicle study can be done adding the vehicle mathematical model and the 3D graphical model. The scenario is displayed as a 3D virtual reality environment in which all the objects are rendered using a combination of 3D primitive and/or pre-built 3D objects loaded from file. Since the software is made up of a set of multi-treading object-oriented Java classes, there are many advantages as portability…
