Culture, Cultural Distance and Cultural Intelligence : A Multilevel Hierarchical Linear Model Analysis of Contextual Business Cultural Intelligence Q…

2019

Master's thesis Business Administration BE501 - University of Agder 2019 Purpose –The purpose of our master thesis is to investigate contextual antecedents to Cultural Intelligence development. Particularly, we assess the ability of cultural distance to predict Business Cultural Intelligence Quotient scores.Design / methodology / approach–Given our literature review, we hypothesize that cultural distance significantly affects BCIQ in a positive way. For this matter, we split our hypothesis into three sub-hypothesis and measured cultural distance in three ways: having at least one foreign parent, the Mahalanobis cultural distance, and the delta of each GLOBE’s practices dimensions expressed …

Dagens Rødhette i en flerkulturell kontekst – mulighet for en ny identitet?

2013

The starting point for this article is the tendency in recent Norwegian children’s and Ya fiction to thematize cultural encounters in an increasingly multicultural and globalized world. The picturebook Little Miss Eye Flap ( Skylappjenta , 2009) written by the Pakistani-Norwegian author and actor Iram Haq and illustrated by Endre Skandfer, presents a modern version of traditional folktales such as Little Red Riding Hood and Rapunzel . However, the traditional structure of home – away – home gives particular emphasis to the phase of homelessness, not providing any safe return to harmony. This condition of liminal space between cultures is discussed in light of the concepts of reflexive ident…

Bakalaura darbs ir veltīts vārdšķiru absolūtā un relatīvā biežuma variācijām specializētajā tvītu korpusā VerUn, kas tika izveidots šī darba ietvaros. Bakalaura darba mērķis ir izpētīt lietvārdu un darbības vārdu lietojuma variācijas, kā arī absolūto un relatīvo biežumu politiskiem tematiem veltīto tvītu korpusa VerUn divos apakškorpusos: apstiprināto kontu tvītu apakškorpusā Ver un neapstiprināto kontu tvītu apakškorpusā Un. Lai sasniegtu mērķi, bakalaura darbā tika izmantota minētā korpusa kvantitatīvā analīze, izmantojot programmas CLAWS un AntConc. Rezultāti liecina, ka lietvārdu lietojums ir biežāks gan apstiprinātajos, gan neatpstiprinātajos kontos (63% un 55%), taču neapstiprinātajos…

However, researchers have commonly investigated social media use in a tim…

Time-Frequency Characteristics of In-Home Radio Channels Influenced by Activities of the Home Occupant

2019

While aging is a serious global concern, in-home healthcare monitoring solutions are limited to context-aware systems and wearable sensors, which may easily be forgotten or ignored for privacy and comfort reasons. An emerging non-wearable fall detection approach is based on processing radio waves reflected off the body, who has no active interaction with the system. This paper reports on an indoor radio channel measurement campaign at 5.9 GHz, which has been conducted to study the impact of fall incidents and some daily life activities on the temporal and spectral properties of the indoor channel under both line-of-sight (LOS) and obstructed-LOS (OLOS) propagation conditions. The time-frequ…

Human Activity Signatures Captured under Different Directions Using SISO and MIMO Radar Systems

2022

In this paper, we highlight and resolve the shortcomings of single-input single-output (SISO) millimeter wave (mm-Wave) radar systems for human activity recognition (HAR). A 2×2 distributed multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar framework is presented to capture human activity signatures under realistic conditions in indoor environments. We propose to distribute the two pairs of collocated transmitter–receiver antennas in order to illuminate the indoor environment from different perspectives. For the proposed MIMO system, we measure the time-variant (TV) radial velocity distribution and TV mean radial velocity to observe the signatures of human activities. We deploy the Anc…

Adapting to a Global Health Challenge: Managing Antimicrobial Resistance in the Nordics

2020

This article explores the adaptation of Norway and Sweden to one of the major challenges to global public health, antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Guided by assumptions derived from institutional theory, the article investigates whether, and, if so, how the AMR problem has affected the two Nordic countries’ administrative systems and frameworks for Nordic cooperation. The article builds on selected literature, expert interviews, and public documents. The findings suggest that the international impact on Norway and Sweden’s managerial adaptation to AMR is limited. Instead, adaptation takes place through incremental change within existing structures for disease prevention and control and follo…

Kroppsbilde og slankefokus blant fysisk aktive gutter i ungdomsskolen og på videregående skole i Norge :

2016

Masteroppgave i idrettsvitenskap - Universitetet i Agder 2016 The aim of this study was to investigate body image and drive for thinness among adolescent boys, and to examine variations for these variables in age and level of physical activity. This cross-sectional study is part of “the Relevance of Physical Activity Contexts in Every-Day Life of Adolescents” (REPAC), which is a larger project. 1423 boys from secondary school (8th grade) and upper secondary school (11th grade) were included in this study, and these responded to a questionnaire that was developed to examine how different activity contexts affected adolescent boys everyday lives. Correlation analysis and one-way ANOVA tests w…
