Getting to Know You – Supporting Research Through Communication and Collaboration
2022
Background. Communication and collaboration are important skills for academic librarians offering research support. When everyday meetings are not possible, as during the Covid-19 pandemic, academic librarians are forced to develop new ways of supporting students and faculty. Traditional library expertise in literature searching and bibliometric complemented with newer skills of analytics, visualization and literature mapping of a field can help librarians to get acquainted and communicate with the researchers they provide research support to. Objectives. This article presents the result of an effort to map out trends and changes in research and publication patterns in a university departme…
Ecological determinants of smart home ecosystems: A coopetition framework
2021
Abstract Nearly every industry classification is experiencing slow growth and increasing concentration. Seldom do researchers have an opportunity to observe an emerging industry segment with as much promise as the smart home ecosystem, an exponentially growing industry. The study presents a novel approach using industry life cycle model and a coopetition framework to understand the process of the ecosystem development. Building on recent literature suggesting companies that purposefully match strategy to life cycle stage, the paper describes the strategic motivations and critical factors involved in the competition-based evolution of smart home ecosystems from early to growth phases, leadin…
Tid og rom for likestilling? : En kvalitativ studie av likestillingsarbeid sett i lys av barnehagens struktur
2017
Masteroppgave pedagogikk PED511 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 Background and purpose of the project The purpose of this study has been to investigate whether structural factors in kindergarten can affect gender equality in the children's group. Status reports from the kindergarten field show that gender equality is proving challenging in practiceand my research aims to look into what may be the reasons for this. Looking at the kindergarten structure, specifically time and space, I wanted to look at the role of time frames and different rooms in the gender equality issue. My research question is: What significance can the kindergarten's structural form have for the implementation of gender eq…
Kvinner på topp : hvem er de og hvordan har de kommet seg dit?
2006
Masteroppgave i offentlig politikk og ledelse 2006 - Høgskolen i Agder, Kristiansand På tross av lover og regler som sikrer likestilling har Norge et av Europas mest kjønnsdelte arbeidsmarkeder. Vi har blant Europas høyest utdannede og yrkesaktive kvinner, problemet er at gutter og jenter i Norge fremdeles tar svært tradisjonelle valg. Denne skjevheten gjelder spesielt blant toppledere og da særlig innenfor næringslivet. Jeg har i denne oppgaven valgt å fokusere på de kvinnene som faktisk har lykkes og i dag besitter topplederjobber i næringslivet. Mitt fokus er på olje- og energisektoren, som er svært mannsdominert. De siste 30 årene har man prøvd å komme med forklaringer på den lave kvinn…
Orthographic precision for word naming in skilled readers
2022
Perfetti (2007) proposed that the quality of lexical representations affects reading. We investigated the role of lexical quality in decoding. Eighty-four adults read aloud words and pseudowords with dense and sparse neighbourhoods in a masked form-priming experiment. Individual-difference measures of language and cognitive processes were collected and entered into a principal component analysis (PCA). Compared to a non-overlapping control prime, we observed greater facilitatory form-priming for word targets with sparse neighbourhoods than those with dense neighbourhoods. A PCA component related to orthographic precision affected form-priming: people with low orthographic precision showed g…
Technology-Enhanced Organizational Learning: A Systematic Literature Review
2019
Part 9: Learning and Education; International audience; E-Learning systems are receiving ever increasing attention in, academia, businesses as well as in public administrations. Managers and employee who need efficient forms of training as well as learning flow within the organization, do not have to gather in a place at the same time, or to travel far away for attending courses. Contemporary affordances of e-learning systems allow them to perform different jobs or tasks for training courses according to their own scheduling, as well as collaborate and share knowledge and experiences that results rich learning flow within the organization. The purpose of this article is to provide a systema…
Frontline Professionals Performing Collaborative Work with Low-Income Families: Challenges across Organizational Boundaries
2020
This article discusses certain challenges relating to interagency collaboration between the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration (NAV) and Child Welfare Services (CWS). We have asked what obstacles to holistic work with low-income families who receive measures from NAV and CWS simultaneously can be identified. The departure point is collaboration on a local project at the municipal level. The differences between the views of the individual services (and the mandates based on these views) with regard to parental obligations have proved challenging. Using the theory of institutional logic, we have explored how different logics have influenced these services’ approaches to parenthood an…
The New Patterns study: coordinated measures to combat child poverty
2020
Background Child poverty rates are rising in Norway with potential negative consequences for children. Services for families with low income are often fragmented and poorly integrated, and few coordinated initiatives have been implemented and evaluated in Norway. Aims: The aim of the current study is to evaluate how integrated and coordinated services provided over a prolonged period by a family coordinator are related to changes across a wide range of health, wellbeing and home environment indicators for the participants. Methods: The study uses a mixed methods approach utilising survey and register data, as well as information from interviews and shadowing, to document and evaluate outcom…
The Covid-19 Pandemic - Experiences and Expectations About Attending International Seminars and Conferences Among Teacher Educators
2022
While the DOI not has been activated yet, the paper can already be read on the JISTE webside: https://journals.library.brocku.ca/index.php/jiste/article/view/4007/ During the Covid-19 pandemic, several international physical face-to-face conferences have been cancelled, and often substituted by online events. This situation may have led to different experiences among teacher educators and influenced their considerations on whether to travel to future conferences. The purpose of this study is to understand what factors are affecting teacher educators’ willingness to attend in-person or online conferences in the future. This study reports findings from an online questionnaire given to a strat…
Programmering i matematikk : Hvordan kan programmering bli en integrert del av matematikkundervisningen på ungdomstrinnet?
2021
Master's thesis in Mathematics education (MA500) The theme for this master thesis is programming in mathematics education. Due to an increasing digitalization of our society, there has grown forth a need to include more programming and digital technology in our schools. In the autumn of 2020, all curriculums for subjects in Norwegian primary and secondary schools were updated; renewed. All subjects received descriptions of the core elements pertaining to that subject which described what it was most important for pupils to learn in each subject. The number of subjects and time allocated to each subject remained unchanged. One of the differences in mathematics was the inclusion of programmin…
