Barack Obama og Donald Trump - En retorisk analyse av deres innsettelsestaler
2017
Masteroppgave samfunnskommunikasjon KOM500 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 Denne masteroppgaven er en retorisk analyse av Barack Obama og Donald Trumps innsettelsestaler. En innsettelsestale er den første offisielle talen den nyvalgte presidenten fremfører for folket, og er en særegen sjanger i seg selv, siden den tar sikte på å forene folket etter en lang valgkamp. Formålet med oppgaven er å finne ut hvilke retoriske strategier Barack Obama og Donald Trump bruker for å overbevise sitt publikum, og hvordan de lykkes med innsettelsestalens formål. Oppgaven baserer seg på teori vedrørende retorikk og innsettelsestalens epideiktiske sjangerbeskrivelse, noe som danner rammeverket for oppbyggingen …
A performative approach to wool felting : Rhizomatic relations in visual arts making and art education
2023
As the first combined dissertation in Fine Arts with the specialisation Arts in context submitted to the University of Agder, comprising artistic and scientific works, this research evolves between artistic and written acts. It is a performative exploration of a performative approach to the ancestral technique of wool felting. The dissertation includes six explorations: three public exhibitions, three articles, and a 7th element consisting of a series of ongoing ‘minor’ moments related to the topic of the thesis that I carry out in my everyday practices as an artist, teacher and researcher. Alongside with that, I provide a mantle that is a metatext of the dissertation. In dialogue with the …

Organizational culture as a primary driver for utilizing big data analytics in organizations
2019
Master's thesis Information Systems IS501 - University of Agder 2019 Context:During this last decade we have witnessed a wave of digital disruption, where big data has had a central part. This has gotten many organizations to pay attention and investing in analytic tools for big data. Big data analytics can provide organizations with more knowledge from more data sources that can have a big impact on how organizations act. Many of the organizations that have purchased big data analytics have failed to derive benefits from it and this is demonstratedin the literature. Organizational culture is mentioned as being an important part of achieving success when adopting big data.Purpose: The purpo…
Association between use of novel glucose-lowering drugs and COVID-19 hospitalization and death in patients with type 2 diabetes: a nationwide registr…
2022
Abstract Aims Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in patients with coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) is associated with a worse prognosis. We separately investigated the associations between the use of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA), and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i), and the risk of COVID-19 hospitalization and death. Methods and results Patients with T2DM registered in the Swedish National Patient Registry and alive on 1 February 2020 were included. ‘Incident severe COVID-19’ was defined as the first hospitalization and/or death from COVID-19. A modified Poisson regression approach was applied to a 1:1 propensity sc…

Depth camera based dataset of hand gestures
2022
The dataset contains RGB and depth version video frames of various hand movements captured with the Intel RealSense Depth Camera D435. The camera has two channels for collecting both RGB and depth frames at the same time. A large dataset is created for accurate classification of hand gestures under complex backgrounds. The dataset is made up of 29718 frames from RGB and depth versions corresponding to various hand gestures from different people collected at different time instances with complex backgrounds. Hand movements corresponding to scroll-right, scroll-left, scroll-up, scroll-down, zoom-in, and zoom-out are included in the data. Each sequence has data of 40 frames, and there is a tot…
Motivating Physical Activity for Individuals with Intellectual Disability through Indoor Bike Cycling and Exergaming.
2022
People with intellectual disabilities have more sedentary lifestyles than the general population. Regular physical activity is of both medical and social importance, reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and promoting functioning in everyday life. Exergames have been envisioned for promoting physical activity; however, most of them are not user-friendly for individuals with intellectual disabilities. In this paper, we report the design, development, and user acceptance of a mobile health solution connected to sensors to motivate physical activity. The system is mounted on an indoor stationary bicycle and an ergometer bike tailored for people with intellectual disabilities. The develop…
Adequate Urinary Iodine Concentration among Infants in the Inland Area of Norway
2021
Considering the importance of iodine to support optimal growth and neurological development of the brain and central nervous system, this study aimed to assess and evaluate iodine status in Norwegian infants. We collected data on dietary intake of iodine, iodine knowledge in mothers, and assessed iodine concentration in mother’s breast milk and in infant’s urine in a cross-sectional study at two public healthcare clinics in the inland area of Norway. In the 130 mother–infant pairs, the estimated infant 24-h median iodine intake was 50 (IQR 31, 78) µg/day. The median infant urinary iodine concentration (UIC) was 146 (IQR 93, 250) µg/L and within the recommended median defined by the World He…
