Fra nøster til baller : en studie av elevers møte med håndverk og materialer i et felles, utendørs veveprosjekt.
2016
Masteroppgave kunstfag- Universitetet i Agder, 2016 Denne masteroppgaven handler om det didaktiske potensialet i kunst- og håndverksundervisning i skolen. Innholdet i skolens kunst- og håndverksfag er for tiden under debatt. Det foreligger et forslag fra departementet om å skille kunst og håndverk fra hverandre. Kunstdimensjonen og håndverkstradisjonen kan på mange måter ses på som hverandres motsetninger. Å lære seg å beherske et håndverk handler om å tilegne seg bestemte måter å gjøre ting på. Det handler om å ta til seg kunnskap og ferdigheter, som er knyttet til tradisjoner og systemer. Kunstens mål er å sprenge seg ut av bestemte måter, å flytte grenser og å utfordre tradisjoner. Jeg a…

Sammenhengen mellom selvhandikapping, frykt for å feile og mestringstro i kroppsøving : En kvantitativ undersøkelse blant ungdomsskoleelever på Vestl…

Master grunnskolelærerutdanning for trinn 5-10, 5-årig masterprogram IDR507 - Universitetet i Agder 2019 The purpose of this study was to gain more knowledge about the concepts of self-handicapping, self-efficacy and fear of failure in physical education, and also to investigate potential variation when it comes to school leveland gender among pupils in secondary school.The aimof thisstudy was twofold; 1) to investigate differences in the relevant concepts on the basis of school leveland gender and 2) to investigate relationships between the different concepts. Part 2 is more specifically related to examining the predictive ability of fear of failure and self-efficacy on self-handicapping. …
How Hand Gestures Contribute to Action Ascription
2019
This article investigates the embodied achievement of intersubjectivity by analyzing depictive gestures that are produced during the final components of the ongoing verbal TCU and extended into the following turn transition space. The depictive gestures in focus elaborate the TCUs by providing additional information on the verbal content of the turn. They may, for example, provide a visual representation of an action that is referred to in the verbal TCU, depict details that are not referred to in talk, or perform bodily enactments that model projected next actions. The analysis demonstrates that timed in this way, the gestures contribute to the multimodal action package that they are part …
Evaluation of ergonomics and efficacy of instruments in dentistry
2013
Abstract: Purpose: To evaluate the ergonomics and efficacy of five instruments used in dentistry for scaling and root planing. Methods: This experimental study with a comparative cross-sectional design was carried out during a simulated scaling and root planing task. Seven female dentists and one dental hygienist aged 26–58 years participated. Five instruments were evaluated in a subjective analysis of usability and musculoskeletal strain and with measurements of muscular activity, postures of the upper limbs, and work productivity. Results: The instruments with the thickest (diameter of 12–14 mm) silicon handles caused the lowest perceived strain in both the fingers/palm and the thumb. Wor…
Requirements for using simulation to design and assess wireless ATM handover solutions
1999
Wireless ATM (WATM) has been widely considered as a solution for broadband wireless services. Handover is one of the most important mobility support functions in the WATM network. Many handover solutions have been proposed, analysed, and benchmarked. Simulations have been broadly used to assess these solutions. However, there are many dilemmas in how simulation has been applied as a research methodology: heterogeneous simulation systems used, lack of comparison with other related work, biased conclusions, and unavailability of simulation models and systems to researchers. The WATM research community lacks a standard and commonly acceptable methodology for applying simulation. To address thi…
SHINING 3D EINSCAN-PRO, application and validation in the field of Cultural Heritage, from the Chillida-Leku Museum to the Archaeological Museum of S…
2019
Abstract. The following contribution focuses on the low-cost Shining 3D EinScan-Pro scanner, above all the analysis of its precision and accuracy. The need to prove the functioning of this instrumentation in practical cases (the sculptures by Eduardo Chillida preserved in the Chillida-Leku Museum and along with some artefacts collected in the Archaeological Museum of Sarno), has led to the comparison and validation of the instrument through a methodology necessarily diversified from the guideline VDI/VDE 2634, part 2 and part 3, characteristics to the test the optical 3D measuring systems with planar measurement, which works according to the triangulation principle. In particular, two types…
Ultrasound Curricula of Student Education in Europe : Summary of the Experience
2020
Abstract Background Despite the increasing role of ultrasound, structured ultrasound teaching is only slowly being integrated into the curricula of medical schools and universities all over Europe. Aim To survey the current situation at European universities regarding the integration of ultrasound in student medical education and to report on models of student ultrasound training from selected European universities. Methods A questionnaire survey focusing on the implementation of curricular ultrasound education was sent out to the 28 presidents of the national ultrasound societies of the European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (EFSUMB), who were asked to dist…
The Value of Median Nerve Sonography as a Predictor for Short- and Long-Term Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A Prospective…
2016
Objectives To investigate the prognostic value of B-mode and Power Doppler (PD) ultrasound of the median nerve for the short- and long-term clinical outcomes of patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Methods Prospective study of 135 patients with suspected CTS seen 3 times: at baseline, then at short-term (3 months) and long-term (15–36 months) follow-up. At baseline, the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the median nerve was measured with ultrasound at 4 levels on the forearm and wrist. PD signals were graded semi-quantitatively (0–3). Clinical outcomes were evaluated at each visit with the Boston Questionnaire (BQ) and the DASH Questionnaire, as well as visual analogue scales for the pat…
