A conspectus of and key to GreekIsoetes(Isoetaceae), based on a reassessment of Haussknecht's gatherings of 1885
2015
The three Isoetes species recorded from Thessalia (Thessaly) in N Greece by Haussknecht, in 1899, under the names I. setacea, I. heldreichii, and I. phrygia, were reassessed using megaspore and microspore ornamentation in addition to macromorphological features. “Isoetes setacea” is not the SW European I. delilei to which the name I. setacea was generally misapplied, nor “I. echinospora” as it has been called due to a misunderstanding, but a so far undescribed species here named I. haussknechtii; it has not been found again in Haussknecht’s locality but has recently turned up in Peloponnisos and the E Aegean Islands. I. heldreichii, described from Haussknecht’s gathering, is apparently exti…

Norwegian version of the Nutritional Form for the Elderly: sufficient psychometric properties for performing institutional screening of elderly patie…
2009
The objective of this study was to test if the Norwegian version of the nutritional screening instrument entitled Nutritional Form for the Elderly (NUFFE-NO) demonstrates sufficient evidence of reliability and validity, including sensitivity and specificity, when applied to a select group of elderly hospital patients. The hypothesis was that NUFFE-NO has sufficient psychometric properties to be used as a screening instrument. The model used for the testing procedure was designed to test reliability (homogeneity and stability) and validity (criterion-related, concurrent validity, and construct validity) including sensitivity and specificity in a cross-sectional study. One-hundred fifty-eight…
Pre‐instrumental summer precipitation variability in northwestern Greece from a high‐elevation Pinus heldreichii network
2021
The spatiotemporal variability of precipitation is of vital importance to Mediterranean ecology and economy, but pre‐instrumental changes are not well understood. Here, we present a millennial‐length June–July precipitation reconstruction derived from a network of 22 Pinus heldreichii high‐elevation sites in the Pindus Mountains of northwestern Greece. Tree‐ring width chronologies from these sites cohere exceptionally well over the past several hundred years (r1467–2015 = 0.64) revealing coherence at inter‐annual to centennial timescales across the network. The network mean calibrates significantly against instrumental June–July precipitation over the past 40 years (r1976–2015 = 0.71), even…
Kurs til foreldre med barn i fosterhjem – en selvstyring av foreldre?
2011
Author's version of an article published in the journal: Norges Barnevern. Also available from the publisher at: http://www.idunn.no/ts/tnb/2011/03/art06 The article presents results from a qualitative study of parents benefits in participation in course given to parents whose children are placed in foster care. The participants describe changes that had occurred in their life situations, and aspects of the course evaluated as useful. Essential findings indicate that the participants have increased self-confidence and regard their children in a new way. Foucault’s concepts of Power are applied in the analysis.
«Men dere øver på det hjemme?» : realiseringen av det delte oppdragermandat: en fortolkende studie av kommunikativ praksis i barnehagens foreldresamt…
2016
Masteroppgave pedagogikk - Universitetet i Agder 2016 Det primære pedagogiske mandat, hovedansvaret for barnas oppdragelse, ligger hos foreldrene (Evenshaug & Hallen, 1997). Samtidig skal barnehagen i samarbeid med hjemmet «fremme læring og danning som grunnlag for allsidig utvikling» (barnehageloven, 2006, § 1). Denne kvalitative studien belyser hvordan hjem og barnehage i foreldresamtalen kommuniserer angående oppdragelse. Det empiriske materialet består av åtte foreldresamtaler og etterfølgende intervjuer med foreldre. Med utgangspunkt i Habermas’ (1984) teori om kommunikativ handling, fortolker jeg pedagogers og foreldres bruk av strategisk og kommunikativ handling. Videre drøfter jeg h…
Banknæringens digitale hamskifte : en kvalitativ studie om DNBs digitalisering i møtet med eldre kunder
2016
Masteroppgave samfunnskommunikasjon- Universitetet i Agder, 2016 The purpose of this thesis is to better understand the digitization of the banking sector in Norway and how it affects the relationship between the bank and older customers. One of the reasons being that there are few examples of Norwegian research on the elderly and their use of Information and Communications-Technology (ICT). The theoretical approach is interdisciplinary, combining theory from fields such as information systems theory (Technology Acceptance Model), conceptual design theory (Service design) and sociological theory (Socialgerontology). Using a qualitative research method I interviewed four elderly customers of…

The aims of this study were to explore how a small group of older people in Southern Norway perceived their nutritional self-care.Methods: An exploratory qualitative approach, combined with a simple self-report questionnaire, was used.
