Photovoice—Towards Engaging and Empowering People with Intellectual Disabilities in Innovation
2020
E-health and welfare technology offer new ways to support health and social care delivery. While initiatives are made to engage disadvantaged user groups in innovation, people with intellectual disabilities tend to be excluded from design activities. This is a concern as this group can benefit from the use of assistive technology. However, it can be time-consuming and challenging to involve end-users in the design of technology. This calls for processes that are creative, empowering and that facilitate user involvement. In this study, we report and reflect on the process of using photovoice to understand user needs and to empower participants with intellectual disability in an innovation pr…
Norwegian children's acquisition of the dialect feature r
2019
The pronunciation of r is a central dialect feature of Norwegian. The main division is between a front and a back pronunciation. The back realization is acquired relatively early (around age 4), while the front realization is one of the most problematic sounds to acquire, and substitution sounds are frequent. Using two data collection points, we show how four children learning Norwegian start by substituting r use of the r of their dialect area or idiolectal surroundings. The main argument of this article is that the r-development of kindergarten children is not only governed by rules on acquisition and development lines, but also by the sociolinguistic variation and use of r in the Norwegi…
Ungdom og e-demokrati : hvilke ønsker og forventninger har ungdom til e-demokrati?
2007
Masteroppgave i informasjonssystemer 2007 - Høgskolen i Agder, Kristiansand E-demokrati er et satsningsområde i offentlig sektor. Det har i Norge vært synkende deltagelse i valg både til Storting og kommunevalg ved de siste valgene. Ungdom i aldersgruppen 18 til 21 år har lavere oppslutning rundt valgene enn eldre aldersgrupper. Flere mener at e-demokrati kan bidra til å øke oppslutning rundt demokratiet og valgene. I denne sammenheng er ungdom en viktig målgruppe. Vi har sett nærmere på e-demokrati rettet mot ungdom. Målet for denne masteroppgaven har vært å forstå hvilke ønsker og forventninger ungdom har til informasjonssystemer innen for edemokrati. For å besvare dette spørsmålet har vi…
Innføring av CRM i offentlig sektor
2007
Masteroppgave i informasjonssystemer 2007 - Høgskolen i Agder, Kristiansand Modernisering av offentlig sektor basert på informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi (IKT) er i økende grad et fokusområde under begrepet e-forvaltning. Dette har ført til nye teknologiske muligheter og arbeidsmåter internt og eksternt mellom offentlige organisasjoner, næringslivet og innbyggere. Integrering av isolerte systemer til standardiserte og virksomhetsomfattende informasjonssystemer har potensiale til å samle informasjonsflyten i en organisasjon. Dette kan skape radikale endringer både fra et organisatorisk og et teknologisk perspektiv. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) er et konsept fra privat sektor…
Secure and scalable dataprocessing and communications for an Animal Tracking System
2003
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2003 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad Modern technology is constantly being employed in new fields, by new industries and people. The cost of advanced technological equipment decreases continously, and equipment that was reserved for people and corporations with a lot of money has now become household products. This enables many interesting ideas and projects, Kitron Development’s radiocollar project being one of them. Kitron Development is involved in a project to track the position of animals by substituting the traditional bell collar with a collar that contains a GPS receiver. The collar transmits its position to a base station using…
Advancing the treatment of human agency in the analysis of regional economic development: Illustrated with three Norwegian cases
2021
Human agency has become a core topic in economic geography complementing traditional, structural approaches to explain regional development. This paper contributes firstly with a discussion of the theoretical and conceptual relationships between the agency of individuals, organizations, and systems. Secondly, it proposes a novel analytical framework for studying how human agency, combined with external changes affects regional economic development, and how regional structural preconditions and external changes explain the activation of change agency. Thirdly, the relevance of the framework is examined through comparative studies of about 20 years of industrial development in three Norwegian…
Evaluation of IP over Bluetooth
2002
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2002 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad The increasing use of Wireless technologies suggest that this kind of technology has a bright future. Today the most popular Wireless Local Area Networks are WLAN 802.11 and Bluetooth. They both have their strengths in different environments. Bluetooth was not initially an Internet technology, but over the years the focus on implementing Bluetooth nodes with Internet capability has increased. When we want to run IP over Bluetooth we need some kind of gateway to the Internet from Bluetooth, a network access point. This will be an important device in the thesis. The Bluetooth Special Interest Group has…
Management of Quality of Service and other functions in mobile Ad Hoc networks
2003
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2003 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad This Masters thesis deals with management of mobile Ad Hoc networks, with main focus on QoS management. The needs for management of such networks and the challenges in managing them are an important part of the theoretical discussion. Different methods like SNMP, ANMP, Guerrilla management and Policy-based management are described and evaluated in order to be used in management of mobile Ad Hoc networks. The task of managing a MANET is important in order to maintain an effective and stable network. Securing the transmission of data and avoiding unauthorized network users are important security tasks.…
Quality of service (QoS) in mobile ad hoc networks
2006
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2006 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad Mobile ad hoc networks inherits several of the issues that ordinary wireless networks have and include several new ones. With internet becoming a multi media enviroment, there are many new requirements that must be satisfied, especially when it comes to real time service. Quality of servce protocol for MANETs has been a topic of interest. In this paper I propose a QoS –aware bandwidth protocol based on available bandwidth calculation. My proposal is based on a few existing proposals today and the theory around these. I then show an implementation available bandwidth calculation and routing functions.…
QoS for real-time IP traffic
2001
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2001 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad This thesis focuses on three service models, known as Best Effort, IntServ and DiffServ, and their ability of providing QoS in IP networks. The objective is to evaluate the performance of real-time traffic based on theory and testing. In addition, mechanisms that may improve the QoS performance further, like MPLS and Bandwidth Brokers, are evaluated to find a comprehensive solution for different types of IP networks. Tests are set up to focus on typical behavior of the service models, and disclose differences in their efficiency together with problems concerning fairness in the bandwidth sharing. Res…
