Emosjonelt arbeid blant frontlinjeansatte : Hvordan opplever og håndterer nav-ansatte det emosjonelle arbeidet de utøver på jobb?
2017
Masteroppgave Sosiologi og sosialt arbeid ME522 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 Formålet med denne oppgaven er å få en forståelse for det emosjonelle arbeidet som frontlinjeansatte på nav utøver. Fokuset er å belyse både hvordan de opplever og hvordan de håndterer ulike situasjoner de kommer opp i. Oppgaven er basert på intervjuer og observasjoner av totalt 13 ansatte på et lokalt nav-kontor som arbeider tett med brukere innenfor ulike avdelinger. Med utgangspunkt i datamaterialet, analyseres innholdet først før det blir drøftet opp mot teori. Teoriene til Erving Goffman og Arlie Hochschild blir brukt bevisst gjennom hele oppgaven for å få frem ulike momenter ved emosjonsarbeidet og selve møte…
Faculty Perception of Inclusion in the University: Concept, Policies and Educational Practices
2021
European universities must face the challenge of diversity and design inclusive practices to address it as part of their social responsibility. However, not all universities are doing the same in terms of diversity practices, so it is important to gather the perceptions of the protagonists. To this end, we have analysed university faculty’s perceptions using a mixed model with a concurrent methodological strategy, including an ad hoc questionnaire validated with 880 educators, as well as 17 semi‐structured interviews. The triangulation of these two instruments allowed us to analyse three key dimensions associated with the idea of attention to diversity in the university: diversity concept o…
Apoptosis and cell growth arrest in A375 human melanoma cells by diorganotin(IV) and triorganotin(IV) complexes of [meso-Tetra(4-sulfonatophenyl)porp…
2011
In previous studies we have demonstrated that two derivatives of meso-Tetra(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphine (TPPS), (Bu2Sn)2TPPS and (Bu3Sn)4TPPS, cause apoptotic death of A375 melanoma cells and, at lower concentrations, arrest of cell proliferation. In the present study, we examined if the manganese metal inside the porphyrin cavity could improve the efficacy of this class of compounds. Thus, [meso- Tetra(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphine]Mn(III)Cl (=MnTPPS) derivatives, namely (Me2Sn)2MnTPPS, (Bu2Sn)2MnTPPS, (Me3Sn)4MnTPPS and (Bu3Sn)4MnTPPS, were tested on the A375 human melanoma cell line. A cytotoxicity assay showed that (Bu2Sn)2MnTPPS and (Bu3Sn)4MnTPPS were highly cytotoxic by inducing apoptosi…

Experiences, reputation, references and decision-making in an online hospitality network
2014
The aim of this thesis was to analyse behavioural patterns that occur after a negative experience during a hospitality exchange. The focus of this study is the largest online hospitality network to date, the CouchSurfing Project. CouchSurfing enables travellers to connect and to offer each other help in form of a free hospitality exchange. Furthermore, CouchSurfing presents a platform for cultural exchange and the possibility for members to connect in this online-offline community. As part of a qualitative study, a voluntary online questionnaire has been distributed and answered by 35 CouchSurfing members. The results give insight of how they deal with a negative experience after offline in…
Un curioso speculum reginae para la joven Isabel : Criança y virtuosa dotrina de Pedro Gracia Dei (ca. 1486)
2016
La Criança y virtuosa dotrina de Pedro Gracia Dei, incunable unicum de difícil adscripción genérica y compleja interpretación, destaca por ser la primera de las obras producidas en el entorno literario de Isabel, primogénita de los Reyes Católicos, circunscrita a su periodo de formación e instrucción como princesa en la corte castellana. Manual de cortesía o speculum reginae, el texto se inserta en un contexto educativo cortesano, al mismo tiempo que incluye la doctrina del servicio y costumbres tales como las justas e invenciones poéticas. El análisis del texto así como de su escurridizo autor, completará un panorama de estudio en cuanto a la actividad literaria en la época de los Reyes Ca…
Una traducció cancelleresca: el Libre de les costumes dels hòmens e dels oficis dels nobles sobre lo joc dels escachs de Jaume de Cèssulis
2007
Del tractat del dominicà llombard Jacobus de Cessulis, el Liber de moribus (ca. 1300), libre d’èxit extraordinari durant molts segles, recull d’exemples i sentències i regiment de prínceps bastit sobre la modelització dels escacs, coneixem molts textos llatins i múltiples traduccions europees, dels segles XIV i XV. De traduccions catalanes, en coneixem dues, la primera de les quals, que datem entre 1370 i 1385, serà l’objecte d’estudi de la present comunicació. La segona, més tardana (de finals del s. XV), i amb un grau d’intervenció major respecte l’original (amb alleugeriments estilístics i supressions), ens ajudarà a definir i contrastar la intenció i el mètode traductològic d’aquesta pr…
Josephson-based Threshold Detector for Lévy-Distributed Current Fluctuations
2019
We propose a threshold detector for Lévy-distributed fluctuations based on a Josephson junction. The Lévy-noise current added to a linearly ramped bias current results in clear changes in the distribution of switching currents out of the zero-voltage state of the junction. We observe that the analysis of the cumulative distribution function of the switching currents supplies information on both the characteristics' shape parameter α of the Lévy statistics. Moreover, we discuss a theoretical model, which allows characteristic features of the Lévy fluctuations to be extracted from a measured distribution of switching currents. In view of these results, this system can effectively find an appl…
Investigations on the c-axis transport properties of YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-δ//PrBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-δ/ thin film superlattices
1997
In this paper we report on the c-axis transport properties of YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-/spl delta///PrBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-/spl delta// superlattices. We describe the preparation, characterisation and patterning of thin film superlattices into suitable mesa structures via standard photolithography. Resistive measurements were carried out which point towards an inhomogenous current distribution in the normal state resistance. Below T/sub c/, the c-axis properties determine the temperature dependent resistance. Resonant tunneling is observed with no Josephson current.
Governance through Economic Paradigms: Addressing Climate Change by Accounting for Health
2016
"Climate change is a major challenge for sustainable development, impacting human health, wellbeing, security, and livelihoods. While the post-2015 development agenda sets out action on climate change as one of the Sustainable Development Goals, there is little provision on how this can be achieved in tandem with the desired economic progress and the required improvements in health and wellbeing. This paper examines synergies and tensions between the goals addressing climate change and economic progress. We identify reductionist approaches in economics, such as 'externalities', reliance on the metric of the Gross Domestic Product, positive discount rates, and short-term profit targets as so…
