Tradurre un mito letterario: tradurre Orazio
2020
Quinto Orazio Flacco è fra i più tradotti auctores latini nelle culture letterarie d’Europa, soprattutto nei secoli XVI, XVII, XVIII. La ricostruzione repertoriale e critica delle traduzioni che hanno avuto per oggetto il suo corpus si offre, quindi, come documento particolarmente significativo della fortuna traduttoria di un mito letterario, in quanto attesta il rapporto di imitatio/aemulatio che numerosi autori hanno stabilito con il modello nel momento in cui hanno deciso di assimilarlo, attraverso le traduzioni, alle lingue e alle culture nazionali cui essi appartengono.

Masteroppgave i helse- og sosialinformatikk- Universitetet i Agder, 2016 Smartphones and mobile applications has gradually become an integrated part of everyday life for many people. There are applications for most areas of life, and an increasing amount of new apps are related to health and fitness. At the same time the developed countries of the world, including Norway, struggles within activity and the health problems that comes with it.

Perceived need to increase physical activity levels among adults at high risk of type 2 diabetes. A cross-sectional analysis within a community-based…
2012
Background. Increased physical activity is a cornerstone of type 2 diabetes prevention. The perception of a need to change is considered essential in behaviour change processes. However, the existing literature on individuals' perceived need to change health behaviour is limited. In order to improve understanding of diabetes prevention through increased physical activity levels (PAL), we assessed factors associated with perceiving a need to increase PAL among adults at high risk of diabetes. Methods. Opportunistic screening was used within a primary-care based lifestyle intervention covering 10 149 men and women at high risk of type 2 diabetes. Data were obtained at baseline visits. Th…
Exploring the Anatomy of an Academic Myth
2015
This paper contributes to the discussion on so-called academic myths by analysing the idea of silence as characteristic of a Finnish communication style. By reviewing contemporary research literature and earlier sources, we illustrate how the concept of the silent Finn has emerged and how it endures, reproduced in both public and academic discourses while lacking empirical evidence. Our analysis proposes six key characteristics to academic myths: that they are built on shaky grounds, widely circulated, used as an expedient, intuitively appealing, resistant to change, and self-replicating. The paper addresses possible reasons behind the persistence of such myths and their implications for ac…

Aspects relevant to theories on second language acquisition, e-learning and different learning styles are extensively discussed. The study is both an action research and a case study research. The data measuring the students’ learning styles and experiences of using e-learning in their second language studies were gathered at HAAGA-HELIA University of…
Oppdragelsessyn i endring? : En komparativ studie av populære oppdragelsesbøker utgitt i Norge i perioden 1950-2000
2017
Masteroppgave pedagogikk PED511 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 The topic of this assignment is to study if the view of parenting has changed in Norway. There have been many discussions about parenting and what it entails. This study is limited to popular books that have been released in Norway between 1950 and 2000. The parenting books emphasise different aspects in the children’s upbringing and how that positively affects their development. The primary research question is to examine the views of parenting and its development from four books from the selected period: “Barneoppdragelse” by Lise Østlyngen (1950), “Barn og foreldre: barneoppdragelse i praksis” by Hambro & Moa (1966), “Elsker du…
Positive Effects of Videogame Use on Visuospatial Competencies: The Impact of Visualization Style in Preadolescents and Adolescents
2019
Use of videogames (VGs) is almost ubiquitous in preadolescents' and adolescents' everyday life. One of the most intriguing research topics about positive effects of VG use is about the domain of visuospatial competencies. Previous research show that training with videogames enables children and adolescents to improve their scores in visuospatial tests (such as mental rotation of shapes and cubes), and that such training could overcome gender differences in these domains. Our study aimed at (1) verifying the positive effects of videogame use in the visuospatial domain both for male and female adolescents and preadolescents and (2) verifying whether the visualization style (2D or isometric 3D…
The impact of children’s socioemotional development on parenting styles: the moderating effect of social withdrawal
2020
This study focused on associations between children’s socioemotional development (prosocial behaviour, internalizing and externalizing problems) and parenting styles (affection, behavioural control, and psychological control), and the moderating role of children’s social withdrawal (as a temperamental characteristic) in these associations. Children’s socioemotional development (n = 314) were rated by teachers at three-time points (grades 1–3). Parents completed questionnaires measuring their parenting styles at the same three-time points. The level of social withdrawal was obtained at the end of kindergarten from teachers’ reports. Panel analysis showed that prosocial behaviour was associat…
Contre la fausse objectivité, le perspectivisme assumé ? le reportage « gonzo » de Goldin, Clark, D’Agata, Tillmans contre la photographie « document…
2019
International audience; Après 1945, un certain nombre de praticiens de la « photographie plasticienne »privilégièrent le reportage « communautaire » : une plongée, sur le long terme, au sein d’ungroupe d’individus, souvent connus, voire intimes, du photographe, qui loin de se placercomme un témoin neutre, activait le mécanisme de l’observation participante chère àl’ethnographie. Larry Clark en fournit un exemple avec la série Tulsa (1971), la premièred’une longue lignée. Nan Goldin amplifia d’autant l’inclusion de l’autrice par la pratique del’autoportrait en situation dans The Ballad of Sexual Dependency (1981-1996). Plus tard desartistes comme Antoine d’Agata ou Wolfgang Tillmans poursuiv…
