Preliminary photochemical studies of fluorene in various aqueous media
2014
- The current study investigates the direct photochemical degradation of aqueous fluorene with the aid of a 125W polychromatic medium, pressure Hg lamp. The purpose was to test the effectiveness of the lamp in irradiation using fluorene spiked solution as substrate. A 700 ml volume of fluorene solution of 0.002 mg/l was irradiated batch-wise at 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24 and 48 h. The amount of fluorene removal was studied for fluorene solutions prepared from , neutral (distilled water), acidic (by adjusting pH with hydrochloric acid, HCl), basic (by adjusting pH with sodium hydroxide, NaOH) and saline (addition of sodium chloride, NaCl) solutions and there was 95.95, 92.35, 96.65 and 97.15 % remo…
Ungdommers forestillinger om, holdninger til og bruk av ulike skriftspråklige former i ulike teksttyper
2019
Masteroppgave lektorutdanning trinn 8-13 NO505 - Universitetet i Agder 2019 This thesis examines how youthsrelate tothe use of distinctiveforms of written language in different text types, and the following research question has been chosen: How do youthsrelate todistinctiveforms of written language in different text types?In assessing this research question the youths’attitudes and perceptions related to the use of the different written language forms in formal andinformal text typeshave been studied, in addition to discussing whether these perceptions and attitudes can say something abouttheiruse ofvarious written forms in distinctive situations. The five forms of written language that ar…
An exploration of the relationship between higher education and human development
2007
Master's Thesis in Development Management - Agder University College, 2007 The apartheid regime in South Africa faced its end in 1994, but its repercussions are still valid for non-white as well as white South Africans. Almost 50 years of systemised discrimination of the non-white populations have set human equity and equality back in most spheres of the public society. The education sector is no exception. Education and higher education in particular is proclaimed an important mean for sustainable development. Higher education is assumed to have positive correlations with economic growth, better health, and employment possibilities. The objectives of my research is to explore the state of …
Evaluating evaluative bibliometrics: a case study of two research groups
2018
Bibliometrics is a method increasingly used to perform evaluations of scientific output and impact, in particular in order to distribute means, such as research grants. But also internally within universities and other research institutions. Various performance and impact meaures are used to establish quality of research. This can be highly problematic, not only in terms of ethics, but also with regards to method. Especially considering the proliferation of tools to perform bibliometric analysis, which means that analyses are increasingly performed without actual understanding of bibliometrics as a scientific method. In our research we have compared two research groups in the same field of …
The editorial function of the territorial intelligence systems
2006
This communication makes an updating of our thinking about the editorial function of the systems of territorial intelligence. Computer science and information systems aim at increasing the communication between the human beings. A territorial intelligence system is an instrument at the service of the actors who ambition to control the development the equitable and sustainable development of their territory. Since the irruption of data processing, we led research activities to design friendly software, then to model the structure of a territorial information system that is at the service of a network of territorial actors, and more recently to integrate the data analysis functions. They led …
Visuell identitet : En sosialsemiotisk analyse av hvordan utdanningsinstitusjoners identitet kommer til uttrykk gjennom institusjonenes logo og netts…
2017
Masteroppgave samfunnskommunikasjon KOM500 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 Formålet med denne oppgaven er å belyse hvordan identitet kan analyseres som sosialsemiotikk og hvordan identitet kan uttrykkes gjennom semiotiske ressurser. Ved å studere et utvalg tekster knyttet til utdanningsinstitusjoner vil jeg komme frem til svar på problemstillingen “hva slags identitet kommuniserer universiteter og høyskoler gjennom kombinasjon av ulike visuelle elementer?”. Dette krever ett nærmere blikk på begrepet identitet, samt hvilke samfunnsmessige krav som stilles til utdanningsinstitusjoner. Med sosialsemiotikkens perspektiver gjør jeg en analyse av et utvalg nettsider og logoer for å se på hvilke meni…
A Deep Learning-based approach for Fault Detection of Power Lines
2020
Master's thesis in Information- and communication technology (IKT590) A transmission network is the most crucial part of modern infrastructure. However, it requires an extensive amount of power line inspection each year to maintain, and with an increased interest in replacing large helicopters with drones for this process, the possibility of including AI is equally compelling. This thesis goes into the second part by taking a deep learning-based approach in the interest of fault detection. A literature review illustrates that earlier research has some to none understanding of the complexity re-quired for inspection. Due to the advancement in object detection and classification, this thesis …

Responses of European lobster (Homarus gammarus) and lobster fishers to protective management
2017
Master's thesis Aquatic Ecology BIO500 - University of Agder 2017 Marine protected areas (MPAs) are valued for their conservation benefits to harvested species. However, potential benefits of MPAs to neighboring fisheries are less well-understood. This study quantifies how the European lobster (Homarus gammarus) and the fishery for this valued catch respond to the establishment of a relatively small (5.2 km2) MPA on the Norwegian Skagerrak coast. A series of yearly standardized trap surveys was conducted to estimate lobster abundance and catch weights both inside and outside the MPA before (2010- 2011) and after the MPA was established (2012-2016). Lobster abundance and catch weights were d…
Lost in translation? : European integration and lanuage diversity
2006
English is constantly moving forward and elucidates its role as lingua franca in the European Union. At the same time the Union has 20 official languages and promotes around 150 regional or minority languages under its official motto United in diversity; expressing the view that each member state should promote its national language and identity simultaneously as their citizens are to feel like Europeans. This can be looked upon as a contradiction in terms because diversity can juxtapose unity although in this paper we conclude the opposite by investigating the relationship between language, identity and the process of European integration. Taking as a point of departure the fact that langu…
