Evaluating evaluative bibliometrics: a case study of two research groups
2018
Bibliometrics is a method increasingly used to perform evaluations of scientific output and impact, in particular in order to distribute means, such as research grants. But also internally within universities and other research institutions. Various performance and impact meaures are used to establish quality of research. This can be highly problematic, not only in terms of ethics, but also with regards to method. Especially considering the proliferation of tools to perform bibliometric analysis, which means that analyses are increasingly performed without actual understanding of bibliometrics as a scientific method. In our research we have compared two research groups in the same field of …
Revising midlatitude summer temperatures back to A.D. 600 based on a wood density network
2015
Annually resolved and millennium-long reconstructions of large-scale temperature variability are primarily composed of tree ring width (TRW) chronologies. Changes in ring width, however, have recently been shown to bias the ratio between low- and high-frequency signals. To overcome limitations in capturing the full spectrum of past temperature variability, we present a network of 15 maximum latewood density (MXD) chronologies distributed across the Northern Hemisphere extratropics. Independent subsets of continental-scale records consistently reveal high MXD before 1580 and after 1910, with below average values between these periods. Reconstructed extratropical summer temperatures reflect n…

Unveiling the environment and faint features of the isolated galaxy CIG 96 with deep optical and HI observations
2018
Context. Asymmetries in atomic hydrogen (HI) in galaxies are often caused by the interaction with close companions, making isolated galaxies an ideal framework to study secular evolution. The AMIGA project has demonstrated that isolated galaxies show the lowest level of asymmetry in their HI integrated profiles compared to even field galaxies, yet some present significant asymmetries. CIG 96 (NGC 864) is a representative case reaching a 16% level. Aims. Our aim is to investigate the HI asymmetries of the spiral galaxy CIG 96 and what processes have triggered the star-forming regions observed in the XUV pseudo-ring. Methods. We performed deep optical observations at CAHA1.23m, CAHA2.2m and V…
Problemløsning i matematikk : hvordan resonnerer elever på 9.trinn under arbeid med problemløsningsoppgaver i multiplikasjon?
2016
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk – Universitetet i Agder 2016 This is a qualitative case study, which highlights students' reasoning in problem solving. The research question is: How do students in 9th grade reason while working with problem solving tasks in multiplication. The purpose of this study is to investigate how students in 9th grade reason while working with problem solving tasks. More knowledge about students' reasoning in problem solving, can contribute to appropriate use of this in teaching. I defined two sub-questions that is attempted to be answered in the discussion. The two sub-questions are: 1. How do students´ reason and which strategies do they use? 2. How do problem so…
IDS sistēmas ieviešana augstas veiktspējas tīklu drošības monitoringam ar atvērtā pirmkoda rīkiem un patēriņa aparatūru
2019
Darba mērķis ir izpētīt, kā izmantot atvērtā pirmkoda IDS sistēmas ar patēriņa aparatūru, lai monitorētu drošību augstas veiktspējas tīklos, kuros tīkla caurlaidība pārsniedz 10Gbit/s. Lai parādītu, kāds ir veiktspējas ieguvums no dažādām ar veiktspēju saistītam izmaiņām IDS sistēmā, mērķis ir veikt sistēmas ieviešanu, kur tiek veiktas izmaiņas pa posmiem un tiek iegūti rezultāti par izmaiņām veiktspējas rādītājos. Darbā tika pētīti ar IDS sistēmas veiktspējas uzlabošanu saistīti akadēmiskie darbi, lai apkopotu tajās izmantotās metodes, kas ir palīdzējušas sasniegt augstus IDS sistēmas veiktspējas rādītājus. Darba praktiskajā daļā tika ieviests pakešu ģenerators IDS sistēmas veiktspējas tes…
The diamond partial order for strong Rickart rings
2016
The diamond partial order has been first introduced for matrices, and then discussed also in the general context of *-regular rings. We extend this notion to Rickart rings, and state various properties of the diamond order living on the so-called strong Rickart rings. In particular, it is compared with the weak space preorder and the star order; also existence of certain meets and joins under diamond order is discussed.
Modular fluxes, elliptic genera, and weak gravity conjectures in four dimensions
2019
We analyse the Weak Gravity Conjecture for chiral four-dimensional F-theory compactifications with N=1 supersymmetry. Extending our previous work on nearly tensionless heterotic strings in six dimensions, we show that under certain assumptions a tower of asymptotically massless states arises in the limit of vanishing coupling of a U(1) gauge symmetry coupled to gravity. This tower contains super-extremal states whose charge-to-mass ratios are larger than those of certain extremal dilatonic Reissner-Nordstrom black holes, precisely as required by the Weak Gravity Conjecture. Unlike in six dimensions, the tower of super-extremal states does not always populate a charge sub-lattice. The main t…
IRREDUCIBLE COXETER GROUPS
2004
We prove that a non-spherical irreducible Coxeter group is (directly) indecomposable and that an indefinite irreducible Coxeter group is strongly indecomposable in the sense that all its finite index subgroups are (directly) indecomposable. Let W be a Coxeter group. Write W = WX1 × ⋯ × WXb × WZ3, where WX1, … , WXb are non-spherical irreducible Coxeter groups and WZ3 is a finite one. By a classical result, known as the Krull–Remak–Schmidt theorem, the group WZ3 has a decomposition WZ3 = H1 × ⋯ × Hq as a direct product of indecomposable groups, which is unique up to a central automorphism and a permutation of the factors. Now, W = WX1 × ⋯ × WXb × H1 × ⋯ × Hq is a decomposition of W as a dir…
Konkretiseringsmateriell i arbeid med brøk

Fractions are a complex concept, and many students struggle in their first approach with it. In this study I have considered how 8th grade students used concrete materials in relation to their work with fractions, in light of the socio-cultural perspective of learning. This study was based on this research question: How do students in 8th grade perceive the concept of fraction through the use of concrete materials when solving tasks? To answer this research question, the use of concrete materials was considered with respect to how this contributed to the students' perception of the different aspects related to fractions: fraction as a part of a whole, fraction as measurement, fraction as di…
