Extending the international new venture phenomenon to digital platform providers : A longitudinal case study
2018
People increasingly interact with services enabled by digital platforms. This has been a consequence of the digitalization of artifacts, which has transmuted traditional businesses into digital forms. With the increasing digitalization and modularization of services, digital platforms have given many digital service providers possibilities to scale globally, and to rapidly transcend national borders by serving multi-sided markets. However, we still know very little about how digital platform providers actually internationalize their services, or how they make their platforms available for global markets. In this paper, we contribute to the increasing literature on digital-based INVs, examin…
Bedre kvalitet gjennom økt kompetanse? : undervisningssykehjemmet i Agder
2004
Tittel: Bedre kvalitet gjennom økt kompetanse? Problemstilling: Bidrar satsing på kompetanseutvikling til bedre kvalitet på helse- og omsorgstjenestene i sykehjem? Formål: Formålet er å vurdere betydningen av kompetanseutvikling i regi av Undervisningssykehjemsprosjektet i Agder, samt å gjennomføre en evaluering og drøfting av primært en videreutdanning i eldreomsorg for hjelpepleiere og omsorgsarbeidere. Bakgrunn: Undervisningssykehjemmet i Agder ble etablert januar 2001. Den bærende ideen i Undervisningssykehjemmet er at kompetanseheving er et viktig bidrag til bedret kvalitet på helse-, omsorg-, og sosialtjenestene. Men hva er god kvalitet? Hva slags kompetanse må våre medarbeidere ha? V…
Latvian Migrants in Foreign Labour Markets: Job Placement and Discrimination
2019
AbstractThe majority of migrants from Latvia move abroad intending to work, and so fall into the category of ‘work migrants’. A crucial role in their job placement is played by an increasingly complex network of intermediaries. This includes formal employment agencies, more informal, social network-based mediators and even illegal service providers. Despite the agencies providing job placements abroad being subject to regulations, fraud and the mistreatment of jobseekers has emerged as a cause for concern. Even when there is no ill will from the intermediaries, immigrant workers often suffer discrimination from their employers, sometimes leading to a re-evaluation of their return migration …
Anthroponyms in health care interventions
2016
Nuestro objetivo es estudiar los nombres propios que los profesionales de la sanidad utilizan para referirse y dirigirse a los pacientes en la atención asistencial. Para realizar esta investigación hemos elaborado primeramente, un gran corpus de antropónimos empleados en este tipo de interacción a partir de múltiples fuentes. Seguidamente hemos analizado, clasificado, descrito y explicado los datos obtenidos. La hipótesis es que el antropónimo constituye un elemento relevante en la relación personal sanitario/ paciente pero su uso resulta complejo. Para probar esta complejidad designativa dedicamos las siguientes páginas, que hemos dividido en tres partes: introducción, análisis de cuestion…
Current and forthcoming perspectives in linkage to care of hepatitis C virus infection: Assessment of an Italian focus group
2019
Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV) remains a significant public health problem and is one of the major causes of chronic liver disease worldwide. In recent years many new tools to facilitate widespread HCV screening and new therapeutic options with excellent efficacy and tolerability profiles and cost lowering policies have become available. To fully utilise these new tools, the link between local and specialist centres for the management of HCV infection must be reinforced. In order to GAIN further insight into these aspects, with a particular focus on the Italian scenario, a group of experts met to discuss relevant aspects and open issues on chronic HCV. As a summary of that meeting, the fo…
Performance evaluation of different techniques to estimate subjective quality in live video streaming applications over LTE-Advance mobile networks
2018
Abstract Current mobile service providers are offering Gigabit Internet access over LTE-Advanced networks. Traditional services, such as live video streaming, over wired networks are feasible on these networks. However different aspects should be taken into account due to the fast changing network conditions as well as the constrained resources of the mobile phones, in order to provide a good subjective video quality in terms of Mean Opinion Score (MOS). Our goal is to estimate and predict this subjective metric without information or reference from the original video, known as Non Reference approach. This approach is important for the Service Provider from a practical point of view, becaus…
How upper secondary students solve algebraic word problems in the area of mathematical modelling : A case study of one group of Norwegian students
2019
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA500 - Universitetet i Agder 2019 For å imøtekomme nye utfordringer på skolen, i jobb og i livet, kan elever ha behov for åtilpasse og utvide den matematikken de kan. Dette krever at elever evner, i noen grad, åsette skolematematikken i forbindelse med hverdagslige kontekster og motsatt. Matema-tisk modellering er en av de hensiktsmessige mediene for å støtte sammenhengen mellomskolematematikken og virkeligheten. Forskning har vist at det er en sterk tilbøyelighet ipensumet mot matematisk modellering og at i stedet høynivå matematikk er ansett somviktig, mest på videregående nivå. Igjen, forskning viser at elever har større utfordringermed abstrakte (fakta…
Relevansen av trigonometri : En studie i to deler på relevansen av trigonometri for elever på videregående skole
2017
Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk MA502 – Universitetet i Agder 2017 The topic of this master’s thesis is the relevance of mathematics, especially the relevance of trigonometry. Many students ask the question “why do I need to learn about this”. The aim of this study was to give the students an answer to this question. In the research literature, I found that this question has to do with relevance, and that relevance is a connection between people, an activity and future goals. In particular, one needs to question: relevance of what? relevance according to whom? relevance for whom? And relevance to what end? The empirical part of my research consisted of two studies. In Study 1 the purpose …
External validity of randomized controlled trials in older adults, a systematic review.
2017
Background To critically assess the external validity of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) it is important to know what older adults have been enrolled in the trials. The aim of this systematic review is to study what proportion of trials specifically designed for older patients report on somatic status, physical and mental functioning, social environment and frailty in the patient characteristics. Methods PubMed was searched for articles published in 2012 and only RCTs were included. Articles were further excluded if not conducted with humans or only secondary analyses were reported. A random sample of 10% was drawn. The current review analyzed this random sample and further selected tri…
Direct true lumen cannulation in type A acute aortic dissection: A review of an 11 years’ experience
2020
ObjectivesDirect true lumen cannulation (DTLC) of the aorta is an alternative cardiopulmonary bypass cannulation technique in the context of type A acute aortic dissection (A-AAD). DTLC has been reported to be effective in restoring adequate perfusion to jeopardized organs. This study reports and compares operative outcomes with DTLC or alternative cannulation techniques in a large cohort of patients with A-AAD.MethodsAll patients who underwent surgery for A-AAD between January 2006 and January 2017 in Mainz university hospital were reviewed. The choice of cannulation technique was left to the operating surgeon, however DTLC was our preference in patients who were in state of shock or showe…
