Bruk av mobilteknologi for å støtte forvaltning av fritidsfiske : Vil apper være et hensiktsmessig virkemiddel for forvaltning?
2021
Master's thesis in Information systems (IS501) I denne masteroppgaven har fokuset vært på mobilteknologi og bærekraft. Bakgrunnen for at denne oppgaven så dagens lys var min interesse for teknologi og mineegne erfaringer som fritidsfisker. Jeg har opplevd nedgang i antall fisk jeg fanger og har et ønske om å gjøre min del for å bidra til å snu denne trenden. I denne studien har jeg undersøkt hva som må til for at fritidsfiskere skal registrere fangsten sin slik at disse dataene kan brukes i forskning og forvaltning av fiskestammene. Gjennom litteraturstudiet har jeg funnet tre hovedtemaer som danner grunnlaget for undersøkelsen. Det jeg har ønsket å besvare er: «Hvordan er fiskernes holdnin…
Citizens’ Perception and Adoption of Smart Solution ; A Study of Citizens in Smart Cities
2021
Master's thesis in Information systems (IS501) The smart city topic has gained increased popularity in the last decade, and many cities want to take part in this city transformation through digitalization. The benefits of smart city solutions and applications are considered as a strategic means to cope with multiple global and local challenges such as pollution, energy expenditure and digitalization to name a few. Although these smart solutions are driven by advanced information technologies such as IoT and Big data, the technologies alone are not enough for it to be successful. Smart solutions are highly dependent on user engagement and trust in technology as an enabler for their intention…
Robot acceptance model for care (RAM-care) : A principled approach to the intention to use care robots
2020
Robots are emerging in welfare services, and organizations require information on whether novel technologies are approved among staff. On the basis of technology acceptance theories, this study proposes a model that adds a principled approach to the intention to use care robots. Data of 544 professionals with care robot experience were collected. The use intention was predicted by usefulness, enjoyment, social influence, and attitude. Respondents who found robots useful and accepted by their colleagues were more likely to view robot use as consistent with their personal values. The care robot acceptance model supports consideration of the profession-specific context in robotization. peerRev…
#MeToo in school: teachers’ and young learners’ lived experience of verbal sexual harassment as a pedagogical opportunity
2020
Based on a case study of verbal sexual harassment experienced by a young female teacher and her 17-year-old student in a Norwegian upper secondary school, this article addresses challenges and strengths of drawing upon negative experiences of ‘lived injustice’ in class, arguing that such experiences can serve as a resource for education about, through and for human rights. Complementing this case study, we discuss a survey we have conducted among secondary school students (N=382), concerning how young learners report being sexually harassed and how often they experience that an adult intervenes in the situation. Combining the theoretical framework of human rights education (HRE) and the con…
How to make people become Ambassadors of Jazz - A Comparative Case Study of Voluntary Jazz Concert Promoters in Agder
2018
Master's thesis Music Management MU501 - University of Agder 2018 This study observes the comparative cases of two jazz clubs in the region of Agder, South of Norway. The cases investigated are the Non-Profit Organisations (NPOs) and voluntary associations (VOs); Kristiansand Jazzvesen (KJV) and Arendal Jazzklubb (AJ), that has slightly different organisational structures and environments. The main objective has been to unveil if there is a need for ambassadors of jazz, or jazz enthusiasts, in order for these jazz concert promoters to ‘thrive’, improve their live jazz concert experiences and recruit new volunteers. Then, how this can be achieved in a fast-changing digitalised “festivalised”…

Luokasta utopiaan : Erik Olin Wrightin myöhäistuotannosta
2020
Katsausartikkelissa tarkastellaan yhdysvaltalaisen marxilaissosiologi Erik Olin Wrightin niin sanottuihin todellisiin utopioihin kohdistunutta tutkimusta. Artikkelissa avataan sekä sitä, kuinka Wrightin todellisen utopian käsite tulisi ymmärtää, että sitä, kuinka hänen oma utopiansa eli ”sosiaalinen sosialismi” voisi olla mahdollinen ja millaiset tosimaailman kokeilut hänen mukaansa ennakoivat ja prefiguroivat tätä utopiaa. Lisäksi artikkelissa eritellään Wrightin käsityksiä antikapitalismin strategioista ja näiden myötä siitä, millä tavalla sosiaalisen sosialismin utopia olisi saavutettavissa. Artikkeli keskittyy erityisesti kahteen Wrightin myöhäistuotannon teokseen – Envisioning Real Uto…
Contrasts in freedom: Comparing the experiences of imprisonment in open and closed prisons in England and Wales and Norway
2021
Open prisons are portrayed as less harmful custodial institutions than closed prisons, and prison systems that rely more heavily on low security imprisonment are typically considered to have a more humane and less punitive approach to punishment. However, few studies have systematically compared the subjective experiences of prisoners held in open and closed prisons, and no study has yet compared the role and function of open prisons across jurisdictions. Drawing on a survey conducted with prisoners (N = 1082) in 13 prisons in England and Wales and Norway, we provide the first comparative analysis of experiences of imprisonment in closed and open prisons, conducted in countries with diverg…
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…
