Bruk av Facebook blant karenfolk : et kvalitativt studie av sosiale medier i en flyktningleir
2016
Masteroppgave samfunnskommunikasjon- Universitetet i Agder, 2016 The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the use of Facebook among a young group of students at a Bible school in a refugee camp called Mae La Refugee Camp. The students are Karen people, an ethnic minority who mainly live in Burma and Thailand. There is relatively little research on the use of social media among this specific group. In addition, the situation around the students are currently changing fast because of political changes in both Thailand and Myanmar, but also on the basic of increased access to modern communications technology in previously isolated refugee camps like the Mae La Refugee Camp. The paper is base…
Mitt liv - bare "mitt"? : konsekvenser av selvmord for foreldre når barn tar sitt eget liv
2018
Masteroppgave Sosiologi og sosialt arbeid ME522 - Universitetet i Agder 2018 Hovedformålet med denne studien er å bidra med mer kunnskap, for å forbedre faglig omsorg for foreldre som har mistet et barn i selvmord ved å utforske noen områder av interesse. I denne oppgaven bruker jeg et kvalitativt design og strukturert og åpent intervju i form av spørreskjema som fremgangsmåte for å få mer kunnskap om etterlatte ved selvmord. Oppgavens viktigste empiri er kvalitative intervjuer med mennesker som har opplevd å være etterlatt etter selvmord. Jeg har intervjuet ni foreldre som alle har mistet et barn i selvmord, seks kvinner og tre menn. De er intervjuet i forhold til arbeidssituasjonen, offen…
Framtidas eldre - hva mener de egentlig om velferdsteknologi? : En studie om holdninger til teknologi i morgendagens helsetjeneste
2017
Masteroppgave i helse- og sosialinformatikk HSI500 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 Background: In 2040 the number of elderly (< 80 years) will double. Welfare technology is introduced as one of the solutions to the challenges health care is facing (Parliamentary report 29 (2012-2013)). There is little data on the elderly’s attitudes about services in the years to come and their attitudes toward welfare technology.Aim: The aim of the study was to mapattitudes towardwelfare technology among the future generation of elderlyin the municipality of Grimstad, as well as to assess predictors for positivetechnology attitudes.Research method: On the basis of Theory of planned behavior (Ajzen, 1985),aque…

Ultra Reliable Communication in 5G Networks: A Dependability-based Availability Analysis in the Space Domain
2017
Master's thesis Information- and communication technology IKT591 - University of Agder 2017 As our daily life is becoming more dependent on wireless and mobile services, seamless network connectivity is of utmost importance. Wireless networks are expected to handle the growing demand for applications which require higher capacity, without failure. Therein, wireless connectivity is regarded as an essential requirement for a wide range of applications in order to support exible and cost-e ective services. As part of the fth generation (5G) communication paradigm, ultra reliable communication (URC) is envisaged as an important technology pillar for providing anywhere and anytime services to en…
On the spatial configuration of scatterers for given delay-angle distributions
2014
Published version of an article in the journal: Engineering Letters. Also available from the publisher at: http://www.engineeringletters.com/issues_v22/issue_1/EL_22_1_05.pdf. Open access This paper investigates the distribution of scatterers located around the mobile station (MS) for given delay-angle distributions. The delay-angle distribution function represents the joint probability density function (PDF) of the time-ofarrival (TOA) and angle-of-arrival (AOA). Given such a joint PDF, we first derive a general expression for the distribution of the scatterers in both polar and Cartesian coordinates. We then analyze an important special case in which the TOA and the AOA follow the multipl…
Dynamika uwalniania azotu z nawozów o powolnym działaniu w eksperymencie laboratoryjnym
2016
Sustainable fertilization is one of the most important treatments of modern agriculture. Organic agriculture with new demands on agricultural practice, seeks to restrict the use of mineral fertilizers in favor of slow-action organic fertilizers. The fertilizers which are made on the farm are particularly valuable due to their quality and the absence of costs of purchase and transport. From this point of view, the new possibilities of using an organic matter which comes from waste of the food industry or biodegradable wastes from households proves to be interesting. Due to the absence of contamination with other types of waste, it can be used for the production of a fertilizer which could be…
Psychosocial Predictors of Drop-Out from Organised Sport: A Prospective Study in Adolescent Soccer.
2022
In recent years an increased drop-out rate in adolescents’ soccer participation has been observed. Given the potentially adverse consequences of drop-out from soccer, more information about risk factors for drop-out is warranted. In the current study, Classification and Regression Tree (CRT) analysis was used to investigate demographic and motivational factors associated with an increased risk of drop-out from adolescent soccer. The results of this study indicate that older age, experiencing less autonomy support from the coach, less intrinsic motivation, being female, and lower socioeconomic status are factors associated with an increased risk of drop-out. An interpretation of the results …
Viedpulksteņu un viedtālruņu lietojamība fizisko aktivitāšu laikā
2022
Mūsdienās teholoģijas ļoti strauji mainās. Sports cilvēku dzīvēs ieņem ar vien nozīmāgāku lomu, līdz ar to viedierīces ļoti attīstās un kļūst pieprasītākas. Viena no tām ir fizisko aktivitāšu uzskaite, bez kurām nav iedomājama aktīvu cilvēku ikdiena. Bakalaura darba „Viedpulksteņu un viedtālruņu lietojamība fizisko aktivitāšu laikā” mērķis ir izpētīt un noskaidrot viedierīču izmantošanas iespējas sportā, veselības un snieguma uzlabošanai. Cik lielu lomu šīs ierīces ieņem aktīvu cilvēku dzīvēs un kam dod izvēles priekšrocības. Lai noskaidrotu izvirzītos mērķus un hipotēzi, pētījumā tiek izmantota anketēšanas metode, ar kuras palīdzību tiek noskaidrota viedierīču izmantošana fizisko aktivitāš…
