The Nordic difference: Job quality in Europe 1995–2010
2012
Previous empirical research has pointed out that Nordic countries are distinguished from the rest of Europe in terms of job quality. On the other hand, it has been debated whether, in the longer run, the Nordic welfare state is able to insulate workers from globalization effects. This article investigates whether Nordic countries have retained their advantageous position concerning job quality compared with other EU countries. Empirical analyses are based on the European Working Conditions Survey collected in 1995, 2000, 2005, and 2010. We use data on employees in the 15 member states of the EU prior to enlargement in 2004 (n = 61,457). The results partly confirm previous findings of high j…

Sørlandsk identitet : en diskursanalyse av identitetsformidling på Sørlandet
2012
Masteroppgave i samfunnskommunikasjon- Universitetet i Agder, 2012 Formålet med denne oppgaven er å belyse hvordan identiteten på Sørlandet skapes og opprettholdes og hvordan enkelte aktører fungerer som identitetsformidlere av den sørlandske identiteten. Studien er todelt der den første delen tar for seg en diskursanalyse av artikler hentet fra regionavisen Fædrelandsvennen, mens del to ser på hvordan identitetsbildene som kommuniseres gjennom Fædrelandsvennen er med på å påvirke arbeidet til omdømmeprosjektet Sørlandsliv. Den teoretiske bakgrunnen for studien blir sosialkonstruktivistisk identitetsforståelse der identitet er noe som blir fremfor noe som er. Oppgavens empiriske materiell e…
Kildenes makt : en kritisk diskursanalyse av velferdsteknologi og ekspertmakt
2013
Masteroppgave i samfunnskommunikasjon- Universitetet i Agder 2013 Formålet med denne masteravhandlingen er å identifisere fremtredende diskurser i fremstillingen av velferdsteknologi og undersøke nærmere hvordan de ulike stemmene i debatten kommer fram. Debatten omkring velferdsteknologi finner ikke sted i et vakuum, men må ses i lys av et velferdssamfunn som er under sterkt økonomisk og politisk press. I den sammenheng trekkes gjerne det dobbelt demografiske problemet frem og setter således kontekstuelle premisser for debatten (og analysen av den). Følgende problemstilling belyses i avhandlingen: Hvordan fremstilles fremtidsrettet velferdsteknologi og dens potensielle brukere i pressens de…
Syndicats et dialogue social. Les modèles occidentaux à l'épreuve
2016
International audience; Une même question a été posée à une équipe de chercheurs spécialisés dans les relations du travail dans les principales économies post-industrielles de ce début du 21e siècle : comment a évolué la régulation sociale dans les entreprises depuis une trentaine d’années ? Leurs réponses montrent que les restructurations économiques, l’européanisation et la mondialisation ont conduit à d’importants changements, rarement volontaires, dans les relations entre les « partenaires sociaux » : organisations syndicales et patronales, sans oublier l’État, qui joue souvent un rôle d’arbitre. Ainsi, les modèles nationaux hérités du 20e siècle ont été remis en cause. Les particularis…
Law of the Land: Shades of Nordic Noir in an Arctic Western
2020
Armoton maa (Law of the Land, Jussi Hiltunen, 2017) is a contemporary western set on a peripheral border region in western Lapland, Finland. Combining crime story and family drama, it is a complex case of genre hybridity. This chapter asks how Law of the Land adapts elements from Nordic noir and modifies the Lapland film, a mixture of films set in Lapland. The melancholy mood and the dark aesthetic links the film to Nordic noir, which has traveled to remote regions recently. However, Lapland can also be seen as a Finnish version of the Wild West. Law of the Land exemplifies both the mutation and vitality of Nordic noir as a style, demonstrating that it can be adapted by other genres, even b…

The role of informal learning in adults' literacy proficiency
2021
This study used the Programme for International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) dataset to examine informal literacy learning’s effects on adults’ literacy proficiency. Also, the factors associated with informal literacy learning at and outside of work were studied. The study participants were Nordic adults aged 35–65 years. The statistical method was regression analysis, and the results indicate that informal literacy activities at work are associated primarily with occupation, and informal literacy activities outside of work with education, parents’ education and gender. Initial education, occupation, language background and age exerted the strongest estimated associations with r…
Effects of nordihydroguaiaretic acid on murine antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity.
1996
The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of nordihydroguaiaretic acid, an inhibitor of the lipoxygenase pathway of arachidonic acid, on antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity mediated by murine spleen cells was significantly inhibited by concentrations of nordihydroguaiaretic acid from 10(-5) to 10(-4) M (1C50 = 2 x 10(-5) M). The inhibitory effect of nordihydroguaiaretic acid was also observed on antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity mediated by macrophage-depleted spleen cells as well as isolated macrophages. Nordihydroguaiaretic acid was highly effective when added at the beginning of the assay and was always present throughout t…
