2021
Master's thesis in Innovation and knowledge development (ME513) Masteroppgavens overordnete tema er samskaping; mer konkret handler temaet om hvordan en samskapingsprosess fasiliteres. Samskaping er vidt definert i forskningslitteraturen. Det er likevel tilnærmet enighet om målet med samskaping i litteraturen; som er at flere deltakere gjennomen samskapingsprosess skal skape løsninger på komplekse problemer. Dette er noe av grunnen til at samskaping har økt i popularitet i offentlig sektor de senere årene og i økende grad anvendes til offentlig problemløsning. Ledelse av en samskapingsprosess kalles fasiliterende ledelse og dreier seg om å bidra i en samskapingsprosess for å nå målet om løs…

Master's thesis in Public health science (ME516) Background: In 2012, the Public Health Act was introduced, with one of the foremost objectives of equalizing social inequalities in health. For this work to be efficient, it must be systematic. The systematic public health work starts with a thorough preparation of municipal challenges in the so-called "overview document". Through previous parliamentary reports, it is recommended that a public health coordinator should lead such a municipal public health work and at the same time establish a cross-sectoral approach to public health work. However, research has shown that this work is insufficient, which is linked to the coordinators' working a…
New metrics for analysis and presentation of device-based indices of physical activity : Exploration of a novel way of reducing accelerometer data in…
2021
Master's thesis in Sports science (ME517) Background: Device-based measurements of human behavior are becoming the standard tool to collect precise, valid, and free-living indices of habitual physical activity. However, differences between brands and lack of consensus regarding data reduction strategies, hampers between and within study comparisons. New metrics such as the analytical (average acceleration and intensity gradient) and translational metrics (MX) proposed by Rowlands et al. (2019a) might overcome some of these limitations. Currently the new metrics have not been applied to large representative data sets and comparisons of measurement properties between traditional and new accel…
