Mellomledeledere i en kommunal kontekst- hvilke roller spiller de? : en studie av rollen mellomledere inntar i den strategiske planleggingsprosessen …
2016
Masteroppgave offentlig politikk og ledelse- Universitetet i Agder, 2016 Som en følge av at mange kommuner har en anstreng kommuneøkonomi og hele tiden må finne løsninger for å oppnå balanserte budsjetter, er det et stadig økende behov for omstilling i norske kommuner. Man ser at det hele tiden legges opp til forventninger rundt omstilling og endring, der organisasjoner forventes å ha en sterk strategisk ledelse. Strategisk planlegging er derfor en prosess som de fleste offentlige organisasjoner tar i bruk. Temaene for oppgaven er nettopp strategisk planlegging og ikke minst mellomledelse. Formålet med oppgaven er å belyse hvilke roller mellomlederne i Birkenes kommune har inntatt under den…

Kansainväliset vertailevat oppimistulosarvioinnit perus- ja korkea-asteella
2020
International comparative assessments of learning outcomes in basic and tertiary education International assessments of learning outcomes have rapidly increased over the last two decades, especially as a consequence of PISA studies. There are now international comparative studies of learning outcomes ranging from basic to tertiary and adult education. The purpose of the present article is to describe the history and background of international comparative assessments with particular respect to two OECD assessments: PISA and AHELO. We argue that educational policy, pedagogical and scientific interests exert influence on international comparative assessments. These different interests promote…

Pro gradu -tutkielmassani tarkastelen suomalaisten ja intialaisten kehitysyhteistyöjärjestöjen yhteisen kehitysyhteistyöhankkeen ympärille muodostunutta yhteistyötä eli kumppanuutta. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on ymmärtää kumppanuuden muodostumiseen, ylläpitoon ja lopettamiseen vaikuttavia tekijöitä. Tutkimuksessa tuodaan esille suomalaisten vapaaehtoisten kertomuksia, kokemuksia ja havaintoja muun muassa uuden kumppanijärjestön valintakriteereistä, järjestöjen välisestä työnjaosta, hankesyklin eri vaiheissa kohdatuista haasteista sekä vastuuvelvollisuuden ja luotettavuuden merkityksestä kumppanuudessa.

Economic burden of low physical activity and high sedentary behaviour in Finland
2022
BackgroundLow physical activity and high sedentary behaviour are unquestionably relevant for public health while also increasing direct and indirect costs.MethodsThe authors examined the direct and indirect costs attributable to low physical activity and high sedentary behaviour in Finland in 2017. Costs related to major non-communicable diseases drawn from Finnish registries covered direct costs (outpatient visits, days of inpatient care, medication and institutional eldercare) and indirect costs (sickness-related absences, disability pensions, unemployment benefits, all-cause mortality and losses of income tax revenue). Prevalences of low physical activity and high sedentary behaviour (≥8…
Lederutviklingsprogrammer for kvinner : fortsatt nødvendig eller utgått på dato? En casestudie av Female Future – programmene i Agder
2016
Masteroppgave offentlig politikk og ledelse- Universitetet i Agder, 2016 Kvinners situasjon og karrieremuligheter som toppledere i næringslivet, har lenge preget offentlig debatt. Norge har en god likestillingspolitikk, som er forankret i lovverk. Likevel har de fleste lederposisjoner lav kvinnerepresentasjon, noe som reiser flere spørsmål. Kjønnsforskning om kvinners posisjon i næringslivet oppfattes å være forholdsvis begrenset. Det foreligger flere forklaringer på hvorfor kvinner er underrepresentert i toppstillinger og studier viser store variasjoner og ingen entydige svar. For å styrke kvinners muligheter på mannsdominerte arenaer, har det i lang tid blitt iverksatt ulike tiltak; egne …
Stakeholder expectations : conceptual foundations and empirical analysis
2015
Expectations are an inseparable part of interaction, whether in interpersonal, intragroup, or organization–stakeholder relations. As a concept, expectations appear frequently in the public relations literature, yet definitions are scarce or narrow. This thesis contributes to the conceptual and empirical understanding of expectations in the context of organization–stakeholder relations and, more specifically, studies how organizations translate their societal roles and how stakeholders form expectations of these roles. The theoretical framework is drawn from Scandinavian institutionalism and corporate responsibility as social connectedness that, first, places organization–stakeholder relatio…
Les débats devant la commission d'esclavage
2010
On March 4, 1848, thanks to the decisive impetus given by Victor Schoelcher, the principle of the abolition of slavery was proclaimed by decree and a « Commission for the preparation of an act of immediate emancipation in all the colonies of the Republic » was established. Like the commission de Broglie under the July Monarchy, the commission, chaired by Schoelcher, provided a huge work of documentation, information and reflection on the settlements, studying also the organization of the English colonies. However, unlike the previous one, the commission of 1848 required the immediate abolition of slavery (Decree of April 27, 1848), without waiting for the election of the National Assembly, …
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…
