The balancing act of combining school and football in the transition from a non-professional club into junior-elite academy football
2021
Football players in the transition from junior-to-senior are usually involved in dual careers, combining school and football – a process that makes them dependent on a holistic talent-development journey. The aim of the current study was to describe how male junior elite football players (N=10; 5=living at home, 5=living away from home) perceived stressors in the transition from a non-professional club into a junior elite academy. Furthermore, the school transition (between lower- and upper-secondary school) and social transition (based on the school and football transitions) as a consequence of the football transition into academy football. Based on Wylleman and Lavallee’s (2004) and Stamb…
Modulation in alpha band activity reflects syntax composition: an MEG study of minimal syntactic binding
2021
Successful sentence comprehension requires the binding, or composition, of multiple words into larger structures to establish meaning. Using magnetoencephalography (MEG), we investigated the neural mechanisms involved in binding of language at the level of syntax, in a task in which contributions from semantics were minimized. Participants were auditorily presented with minimal sentences that required binding (pronoun and pseudo-verb with the corresponding morphological inflection; "she grushes") and wordlists that did not require binding (two pseudo-verbs; "cugged grushes"). Relative to the no binding wordlist condition, we found that syntactic binding in a minimal sentence structure was a…
Mind The Gap : Healthprofessional’s relation to Female Genital Schistosomiasis - Exploring perspectives, politics and practices during treatment on l…
2020
Master's thesis in Global Development and Planning (UT505) The main objective of the study was to elucidate why thereis a gap between medical research conducted on the neglected tropical disease Female Genital Schistosomiasis (FGS) and work-related knowledge about the disease amongst professional nurses in the Ugu District, South Africa. The study is based on qualitative field work in three local governmental clinics in this area, and the purpose is to explore why there is such a gap and why the development of knowledge concerning FGS seems to stagnate despite a relatively high level of awareness related to its "twin disease", Urological Schistosomiasis which is commonly referred to as Bilh…
Adaptation and validation of pediatric peripheral intravenous catheter insertion and care practices audit tools.
2021
This study aimed to describe the translation process and establish the validity of the three instruments in Indonesian to assess pediatric peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) insertion and care practices.The six-step forward and backward translation method was used to translate the adapted questionnaires. The English version questionnaires included the point prevalence audit checklist, the nurse survey consisting of the nurse PIVC knowledge questionnaire and the nurse PIVC confidence questionnaire, plus a Patient/parent Experience Survey. Data collection was conducted in Indonesia between October 2019 and February 2020. In total, there were six translators (two for each instrument), nine…
Professional thinking in Individual Plan processes
2014
This article explores the kind of critical and reflective thinking taht influences the social and health care professionals in the Individual Plan process. An inter-professional group of six healthcare and social researchers collected the data, which consisted of indepth interviews with 12 service providers who were the clients´ coordinators and one day centre leader. By focusing on reflective thinking in a critical perspective, it is concluded that coordinators are guided by different philosophical and theoretical perspectives in this process; a mixture of reasoning strategies, caring as a relational concept and a mixture of philosophical frameworks. To improve critical thinking in Individ…
Mathematical model of detrimental inflammation in the late stage of colorectal cancer
2019
Master's thesis Mathematics MA503 - University of Agder 2019 Tykktarmskreft er den nest mest vanlige kreftformen blant kvinner, og den tredje mest vanlige blant menn, med 1.8 millioner nye tilfeller og 861.000 dødsfall i 2018 ifølge Health Organization GLOBOCAN. Matematisk modellering av tykktarmskreft kan kaste et bedre lys på dynamikken til denne dødelige sykdommen, og foreslå ulike strategier for behandling. Vi studerer interaksjonen mellom viktige biomarkører foreslått av en konseptuell matematisk modell av skadelig inflammasjon i senstadiet av tykktarmskreft. Vi ønsker å brukematematiske modeller for å forbedre vår forståelse av kompliserte prosesser i immunsystemet som påvirker kreftc…

Updating our understanding of health-related quality of life issues in children with cancer: a systematic review of patient-reported outcome measures…
2022
Abstract Background Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is a key concept in pediatric oncology. This systematic review aims to update the conceptual HRQOL model by Anthony et al. (Qual Life Res 23(3):771–789, 2014), covering physical, emotional, social and general HRQOL aspects, and to present a comprehensive overview of age- and disease-specific HRQOL issues in children with cancer. Methods Medline, PsychINFO, the Cochrane Database for Systematic Reviews (CDSR), and the COSMIN database were searched (up to 31.12.2020) for publications using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and qualitative studies in children with cancer (8–14-year) or their parents. Items and quotations were ex…
Development and testing of a net-based resource to guide teachers in assisting students with mental health challenges
2021
Master's thesis in Multimedia and educational technology (MM506) This thesis will seek answers to what extent teachers are properly equipped when helping students with mental health problems, how a net-based resource can assist teachers in handling this challenge, and what approaches teachers recommend for an easy-to-use net-based resource. We iteratively prototyped a net-based resource called Tankeverk.no using a Human-Centered Design (HCD) approach by involving key stakeholders, experts, health personal, and teachers. The prototype combined with the in-depth interviews and questionnaires gave insights into the relevance, quality, and user acceptance of our solution. The vast majority of t…
The magic in the (extra)ordinary: Intensive validation to recalibrate the life-worlds of adolescents exposed to abuse
2022
This qualitative case study aimed to explore environmental circumstances and inter-actional processes that appeared to be relevant for the dynamics of resilience in ado-lescents exposed to child abuse. Fieldwork at a learning and coping centre forchildren and their families was combined with semi-structured interviews with ado-lescent participants aged 12 to 18 years. A critical realist approach was used tounpack what has been called the‘ordinary magic’of resilience. We found thatinten-sively validating qualitiesof both theenvironmentandrelationshipsseemed to be driv-ing components for resilience. Borrowing ideas from the sociometer theory, wepropose that particularly the consistent intensi…
