Agent-based modelling of values: the case of value sensitive design for refugee logistics
2020
We have used value sensitive design as a method to develop an agent-based model of values in humanitarian logistics for refugees. Schwartz's theory of universal values is implemented in the model in such a way that agents can make value trade-offs, which are operationalized into a measure of refugee wellbeing and a measure of public opinion about how the refugee logistics is being handled. By trying out different ‘value-scenarios’, stakeholders who are responsible for, or involved in refugee logistics can have insights into the effects of various value choices. The model is visualized and made usable as a platform (interactive website) for decision-makers to understand the trade-offs in pol…
Metaverse beyond the hype: Multidisciplinary perspectives on emerging challenges, opportunities, and agenda for research, practice and policy
2022
FNEGE 3, HCERES A, ABS 2; International audience; The metaverse has the potential to extend the physical world using augmented and virtual reality technologies allowing users to seamlessly interact within real and simulated environments using avatars and holograms. Virtual environments and immersive games (such as, Second Life, Fortnite, Roblox and VRChat) have been described as antecedents of the metaverse and offer some insight to the potential socio-economic impact of a fully functional persistent cross platform metaverse. Separating the hype and “meta…” rebranding from current reality is difficult, as “big tech” paints a picture of the transformative nature of the metaverse and how it w…
Konfliktråd i fengsel : rapport fra et prosjekt 2003/2004
2005
Rapport fra prosjektet "Konfliktregimer" ”Hvorfor var det ingen som fortalte meg om Konfliktrådet da jeg var 15 år?” Den unge mannen var ganske oppgitt. Han var dømt for flere forhold og satt nå inne for tredje gang. Ut fra Konfliktrådet i Agder har vi over et år truffet flere innsatte i fengselet og pratet med dem om deres egne konflikter og deres behov for å benytte seg av megling. Etter avsluttet prosjekt, kan vi oppsummere med flere meglede saker, mange gode samtaler og gode erfaringer i samarbeidet med fengselet1. Arbeidet kan ses som en videreføring av erfaringer fra prosjektet ”Megling i voldssaker” som ble igangsatt av Justisdepartementet i årene 2001-2004. Den nye straffegjennomfør…
Prosjektet "Megling i voldssaker" ved Konfliktrådet for Hordaland : evalueringsrapport
2004
På omslaget: Fakultet for helse- og idrettsfag Forsøksprosjektet ”Megling i voldssaker” ble knyttet til konfliktrådet for Hordaland og gikk over tre år (april 2000-mars 2004). Det ble tilsatt prosjektleder, og tolv erfarne meglere fra konfliktrådet fikk tilleggsopplæring i megling i voldssaker. I alt 186 personer i 79 voldssaker ble invitert til deltakelse, men ved prosjektets slutt hadde bare åtte meglinger funnet sted, det vil si i ti prosent av sakene. En innlysende grunn til at det ble så få meglinger var at de voldsofre og -utøvere man tilbød å møtes til megling ikke ønsket å møte. Noen var fornøyde med oppgjøret i rettssalen og hadde ikke noe ønske om å gjenoppta saken og å treffe den…
Investigating the Affordances and Constraints of SimReal for Mathematical Learning : A Case Study in Teacher Education
2019
Visualizations tools are one of the most innovative technologies that emerged the last few years in educational settings. They provide new potentialities for mathematical learning by means of dynamic animations and representations, interactive simulations, and live streaming of lessons. Moreover, visualization tools have the potential to foster a visual, dynamic, distributed, and embodied mathematics rather than individual achievements and static representations. This paper uses the visualization tool SimReal in teacher education to explore the affordances of the tool for learning mathematics. It proposes a framework that captures the affordances of SimReal at a technological, pedagogical, …
Prosjektarbeid i barnehagen – mellom bekvemmelighet og medvirkning
2021
I denne artikkelen analyseres samtaler fra personalmøter i to barnehager som arbeider prosjektbasert inspirert av Reggio Emilia-pedagogikk. Observasjoner av møter er supplert med intervju med de pedagogiske lederne. Målet med undersøkelsen har vært å studere hvordan personalet snakker sammen om arbeid med prosjekt i møtene og hvordan dette kan ha betydning for barns mulighet for medvirkning. Vi viser hvordan samtalene arter seg gjennom et prosjektforløp. Underveis i denne prosessen identifiserte vi fire ulike diskurser som på ulike måter legger føringer for barnas medvirkning i arbeidet med prosjektene. Vi har kalt disse for henholdsvis en medvirkningsdiskurs, en undringsdiskurs, en bekvemm…
Levels and change in autonomous and controlled work motivation in older workers—The role of proximity to retirement and sense of community at work
2021
Previous studies suggest a preretirement disengagement process from work, which includes reduced work motivation. In this study, we investigated changes in autonomous and controlled work motivation over two years among participants of the Health, Aging and Retirement Transition in Sweden (HEARTS) study. We found stability in both types of motivation; however, those who retired after the study period showed more distinct declines in autonomous motivation. A stronger sense of community at work was related to level, but not change in autonomous motivation. Intra-individual fluctuations in the expected retirement age did not predict work motivation or vice versa. Future studies are needed to be…
The Impact of Working Memory Training on Children’s Cognitive and Noncognitive Skills
2020
Working memory capacity is thought to play an important role for a wide range of cognitive and noncognitive skills such as fluid intelligence, math, reading, the inhibition of pre-potent impulses or more general self-regulation abilities. Because these abilities substantially affect individuals' life trajectories in terms of health, education, and earnings, the question of whether working memory (WM) training can improve them is of considerable importance. However, whether WM training leads to improvements in these far-transfer skills is contested. Here, we examine the causal impact of WM training embedded in regular school teaching by a randomized educational intervention involving a sampl…
Developing a framework for designing humanitarian blockchain projects
2021
International audience; Blockchain technology promises to improve the efficiency, transparency, and accountability of humanitarian operations. Yet at the same time, especially the humanitarian context with its characteristic volatility poses unique challenges to any technology. Most prominent are the humanitarian principles that are fundamental to humanitarian operations. These ethical principles are set to protect the most vulnerable populations. Designing blockchain projects in the humanitarian context therefore requires a systematic framework that helps humanitarians make critical choices.While some design instructions can be found for commercial applications, the humanitarian context re…
Hybridity in Nordic Higher Education
2022
This article builds on the concept of nested hybridity. It emphasizes professional practices and organizational design in studying hybridity of steering and management of professional public service organization. The article compares public sector dynamics in higher education in Finland, Norway, and Sweden. The data consists of surveys and interviews on performance management in Nordic universities. Previous studies on hybridity of professional work and public organizations define hybridity as a multidimensional concept that occurs at different levels of social practices. While the multifaceted nature of hybridity is clear, demarcating between levels of hybridity and theoretical approaches …
