Ungdommers forestillinger om, holdninger til og bruk av ulike skriftspråklige former i ulike teksttyper
2019
Masteroppgave lektorutdanning trinn 8-13 NO505 - Universitetet i Agder 2019 This thesis examines how youthsrelate tothe use of distinctiveforms of written language in different text types, and the following research question has been chosen: How do youthsrelate todistinctiveforms of written language in different text types?In assessing this research question the youths’attitudes and perceptions related to the use of the different written language forms in formal andinformal text typeshave been studied, in addition to discussing whether these perceptions and attitudes can say something abouttheiruse ofvarious written forms in distinctive situations. The five forms of written language that ar…
An exploration of the relationship between higher education and human development
2007
Master's Thesis in Development Management - Agder University College, 2007 The apartheid regime in South Africa faced its end in 1994, but its repercussions are still valid for non-white as well as white South Africans. Almost 50 years of systemised discrimination of the non-white populations have set human equity and equality back in most spheres of the public society. The education sector is no exception. Education and higher education in particular is proclaimed an important mean for sustainable development. Higher education is assumed to have positive correlations with economic growth, better health, and employment possibilities. The objectives of my research is to explore the state of …
Visuell identitet : En sosialsemiotisk analyse av hvordan utdanningsinstitusjoners identitet kommer til uttrykk gjennom institusjonenes logo og netts…
2017
Masteroppgave samfunnskommunikasjon KOM500 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 Formålet med denne oppgaven er å belyse hvordan identitet kan analyseres som sosialsemiotikk og hvordan identitet kan uttrykkes gjennom semiotiske ressurser. Ved å studere et utvalg tekster knyttet til utdanningsinstitusjoner vil jeg komme frem til svar på problemstillingen “hva slags identitet kommuniserer universiteter og høyskoler gjennom kombinasjon av ulike visuelle elementer?”. Dette krever ett nærmere blikk på begrepet identitet, samt hvilke samfunnsmessige krav som stilles til utdanningsinstitusjoner. Med sosialsemiotikkens perspektiver gjør jeg en analyse av et utvalg nettsider og logoer for å se på hvilke meni…
Italica (Seville, Spain): use of local marble in Augustan age
2010
This study concerns 51 marble finds made of “Cipollino verde” coming from the ancient city of Italica (north of the modern city of Santiponce, 9 km NW of Seville, Spain), the earliest Roman settlement in Spain, founded in 206 B.C. The aim of this work was to determine their provenance from Greek and Italian quarries or from local quarries worked in the Iberian Peninsula. Thin-section optical microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, bulk rock chemistry and O, C and Sr stable isotope analyses were carried out. Results were compared with literature data on “Cipollino verde” marbles quarried in southern Euboea (Greece), Apuan Alps (Italy), Almería, Extremoz, Seville (Spain) and Évora (Portugal). T…

Barack Obama og Donald Trump - En retorisk analyse av deres innsettelsestaler
2017
Masteroppgave samfunnskommunikasjon KOM500 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 Denne masteroppgaven er en retorisk analyse av Barack Obama og Donald Trumps innsettelsestaler. En innsettelsestale er den første offisielle talen den nyvalgte presidenten fremfører for folket, og er en særegen sjanger i seg selv, siden den tar sikte på å forene folket etter en lang valgkamp. Formålet med oppgaven er å finne ut hvilke retoriske strategier Barack Obama og Donald Trump bruker for å overbevise sitt publikum, og hvordan de lykkes med innsettelsestalens formål. Oppgaven baserer seg på teori vedrørende retorikk og innsettelsestalens epideiktiske sjangerbeskrivelse, noe som danner rammeverket for oppbyggingen …
Value, satisfaction and loyalty in volunteerism. Application to a religious megaevent
2013
This paper presents a study of the volunteer as an essential agent in the success of any event, and offers recommendations for improving management of megaevents. To achieve this goal we propose a structural model that analyses the multidimensionality of the value concept as antecedent of perceived value, satisfaction and loyalty. The study sample consists of volunteers who participated in the World Youth Day held in Madrid in 2011, obtaining a total number of 1427 cases. The results support all the hypotheses presented in the proposed model. Thus, it confirms that the multidimensionality of the value (spirituality, social value, play and efficiency) is an antecedent of perceived value whil…
Determination of90Sr in environmental samples with resonance ionization spectroscopy in collinear geometry
1994
A new, fast technique for trace analysis of the radioactive isotopes89Sr and90Sr in environmental samples has been developed. Conventional mass separation is combined with resonance ionization spectroscopy in collinear geometry, which provides high selectivity and sensitivity. In addition, a chemical separation procedure for sample preparation has been developed. The described technique was used to determine the90Sr content in ≈ 870 m3 air samples collected near Munich during and shortly after the Chernobyl reactor accident in April 1986. The content of90Sr was measured to be 1.4 mBq per m3, corresponding to 1.6 × 109 atoms of90Sr per sample. This value is in good agreement with the results…
Haemorheological components in the pre-geriatric and geriatric age range in a randomly selected Western Sicily population sample (Casteldaccia study)
1993
{Received 24.8.1992; accepted 7.12.1992} On a randomly selected western Sicily population sample (Casteldac cia Study: 600 subjects; 300 males and 300 females) of an age range from 40 to 79 years, were determined: Haematocrit (Htc) , blood vi scosity, plasma viscosity, filterability of whole blood and fibrinogen. Par ticipation was 97%, being 582 subjects (M = 287, F = 295). All the parameters measured showed a progressive increase with age and si gnificant differences were found between male and female subjects: Htc and blood viscosity were higher in male subjects (p < 0.01), while plasma viscosity, whole blood filterability and fibrinogen were higher in female subjects (p < 0.05). In …
Right Heart Dysfunction and Readmission Risk Across Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction Status in Patients With Acute Heart Failure.
2021
BACKGROUND: Right heart dysfunction (RHD) parameters are increasingly important in heart failure (HF). This study aimed to evaluate the association of advanced RHD with the risk of recurrent admissions across the spectrum of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). METHODS AND RESULTS: We included 3383 consecutive patients discharged for acute HF. Of them, in 1435 patients (42.4%), the pulmonary artery systolic pressure could not be measured accurately, leaving a final sample size of 1948 patients. Advanced RHD was defined as the combination of a ratio of tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion/pulmonary artery systolic pressure of less than 0.36 and significant tricuspid regurgitation…
