Mediterranean diet impact on cardiovascular diseases: a narrative review
2017
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounts for more than 17 million deaths per year worldwide. It has been estimated that the influence of lifestyle on CVD mortality amounts to 13.7% for smoking, 13.2% for poor diet, and 12% for inactive lifestyle. These results deeply impact both the healthy status of individuals and their skills in working. The impact of CVD on productivity loss accounts for the 24% in total costs for CVD management. Mediterranean diet (MedD) can positively impact on natural history of CVD. It is characterized by a relatively high consumption of inexpensive and genuine food such as cereals, vegetables, legumes, nuts, fish, fresh fruits, and olive oil as the principal source of…
Terrestrial Inputs Drive Seasonality in Organic Matter and Nutrient Biogeochemistry in a High Arctic Fjord System (Isfjorden, Svalbard)
2020
Climate-change driven increases in temperature and precipitation are leading to increased discharge of freshwater and terrestrial material to Arctic coastal ecosystems. These inputs bring sediments, nutrients and organic matter (OM) across the land-ocean interface with a range of implications for coastal ecosystems and biogeochemical cycling. To investigate responses to terrestrial inputs, physicochemical conditions were characterized in a river- and glacier-influenced Arctic fjord system (Isfjorden, Svalbard) from May to August in 2018 and 2019. Our observations revealed a pervasive freshwater footprint in the inner fjord arms, the geochemical properties of which varied spatially and seaso…

Masteroppgave psykisk helsearbeid ME504 - Universitetet i Agder 2018 Throughout our working carrier we have met youth who had dropped out from upper secondary school with that consequence that they stand without work or education. We wish to approach the phenomenon dropouts from the perspective of the youth, here boys, to try to find out more about how they think of their own possibilities. This study is part of a research project at the University of Agder and represents a contribution to the research group “Ung i Sør”. The purpose of this study is to increase understanding around how boys explain the causes behind their choice to dropout and what they express can contribute to returning t…
Oppnår vi formålet med kroppsøvingsfaget? : En retrospektiv undersøkelse om kroppsøvingsfagets betydning for fysisk aktivitet i voksen alder
2017
Master grunnskolelærerutdanning for trinn 5-10, 5-årig masterprogram IDR507 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 Bakgrunn: Forskning viser en nedgang i fysisk aktivitetsnivå fra skole- til voksenalder (Folkehelseinstituttet, 2015; Larouce, Laurencelle, Shephard og Trudeau, 2008). Dette står noe i konkrast til hovedformålet til kroppsøvingsfaget som er å oppnå en fysisk aktiv livsstil og livslang bevegelsesglede (Utdanningsdirektoratet, 2015a). Hensikt og problemstilling: Med bakgrunn i den negative utviklingen i voksne personers aktivitetsnivå, har jeg valgt å stille spørsmålet: Oppnår vi formålet med kroppsøvingsfaget? Hensikten med undersøkelsen er å se nærmere på voksne personers forhold til fys…

Macroalgae production in Northern Europe: Business and government perspectives on how to regulate a novel blue bioeconomy
2022
Macroalgae biomass production, understood as cultivation and harvesting, is a minor industry in Europe at present, but the sector is recognized as having substantial growth potential. Here, we framed the environmental license as a boundary object between business and authorities and investigated the details of macroalgal licensing procedures in seven Northern European countries (Finland, Estonia, Sweden, Germany, Norway, Iceland, and Scotland). We conducted surveys and interviews with macroalgae companies and licensing authorities to understand the challenges faced by both sides. Generally, macroalgae production in Northern European countries is regulated by environmental and water laws and…
Læringsutbytte, læringsaktiviteter og vurderingsformer
2012
Author's version of an article in the journal: Nordisk sygeplejeforskning. Also available from the publisher at: http://www.idunn.no/ts/nsf/2012/01/art08 The theory of Constructive Alignment (CA) describes how accordance between learning activities, learning outcomes and assessment influence students’ learning. The aim of this study was to evaluate the agreement between learning outcomes, learning activities and assessment in a Philosophy of Science and a Research Method course in a Master Program in Health Sciences. Data were collected by two focus group interviews with respectively four and five students who had attended the courses, and analyzed by a qualitative content analysis. The stu…
Motivasjon i matematikk hos elever som benytter «Den Virtuelle Matematikkskolen» : en aksjonsforskning der målet er å heve motivasjonen i matematikk …
2016
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk – Universitetet i Agder 2016 The title of this study is “Motivation in mathematics among students using Den Virtuelle Matematikkskolen, translated The virtual school of mathematics. The goal of this study was to increase motivation in mathematics among the children I was teaching, and I tried to do it by introducing and working with the web resource “Den Virtuelle Matematikkskolen-U”, shortned DVM-U. I also wanted to find out which impact work with this resource would have for the students motivation in mathematics, and which implications it would have for my work as their teacher. The issue for this study is: In which ways can introduction and work with DV…
Tidlig algebra : en studie av tidlig algebra med elever på 6. trinn
2016
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk – Universitetet i Agder 2016 The main theme for the research described in this thesis is early algebra. Early algebra is a phase that could fit the gap between arithmetic and algebra. Early algebra includes algebraic reasoning, such as analyzing relationships between quantities, noticing structure, studying change, or generalizing, without a need to use symbols. In my Theoretical Frame, I define the terms early algebra, algebraic thinking, and generalization; I explain the differences between early algebra and pre-algebra, and I go into the relationships between arithmetic and algebra. To gain insight into early algebra, I have studied how pupils in 6th gra…
Tilpasset opplæring for elever med dyskalkuli : en matematikklærer sin beskrivelse
2016
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk – Universitetet i Agder 2016 The main topic of the thesis is how to adapt teaching to students with dyscalculia. In this thesis, the term dyscalculia is accounted for as one of several concepts for students who struggle particularly with mathematics. There is currently a lack of consensus among scientists about which concepts to be used for students with mathematics difficulties and what is meant by the different terms. In the thesis, there is therefore a separate chapter which presents an overview of the literatures use of concepts for students who have learning difficulties in mathematics. The thesis research questions consist of a main question and two s…
