Students' Positive Expectations and Concerns Prior to the School Transition to Lower Secondary School

2020

This mixed-method study examines students' expectations and concerns before transitioning from primary to lower secondary school and the role of students' school-related wellbeing and self-esteem in their concerns. Students reported their beliefs about the forthcoming school transition and filled in a questionnaire assessing school burnout and self-esteem. The results showed that the students had positive expectations comprising comfort, friendships, learning, school environment, increased freedom and teacher -student relations. The students' concerns were mainly related to friendships. Furthermore, results indicated that students who reported concerns about peer relations were likely to ex…

Longitudinal Effects of the Home Learning Environment and Parental Difficulties on Reading and Math Development Across Grades 1–9

2020

This study focuses on parental reading and mathematical difficulties, the home literacy environment, and the home numeracy environment as well as their predictive role in Finnish children’s reading and mathematical development through Grades 1–9. We examined if parental reading and mathematical difficulties directly predict children’s academic performance and/or if they are mediated by the home learning environment. Mothers (n = 1590) and fathers (n = 1507) reported on their reading and mathematical difficulties as well as on the home environment (shared reading, teaching literacy, and numeracy) when their children were in kindergarten. Tests for reading fluency, reading comprehension, and …

How relevant is Kotter’s change theory on organizational change in meta-organizations : A case study of the ESNreview of the Erasmus Student Network

2019

Master's thesis Public Policy and Management ME502 - University of Agder 2019 Kotter’s 8-step organizational change model is amongst the most popular change models in the world, however despite its continued success as a popular science approach to the topic of organizational change, it has received limited attention from the scientific community, and little research has been done into how the model works in practice. This thesis is a case study into the use of Kotter’s change model, researching how well it may fit into a meta-organization. According to Ahrne and Brunsson, a lot of organizations may be described as meta-organizations, yet the research into this unique structure and its effe…

Examining Open Innovation in Science (OIS): what Open Innovation can and cannot offer the science of science

2021

Scholars across disciplines increasingly hear calls for more open andcollaborative approaches to scientific research. The concept of OpenInnovation in Science (OIS) provides a framework that integratesdispersed research efforts aiming to understand the antecedents,contingencies, and consequences of applying open and collaborativeresearch practices. While the OIS framework has already been taken upby science of science scholars, its conceptual underpinnings requirefurther specification. In this essay, we critically examine the OIS conceptand bring to light two key aspects: 1) how OIS builds upon OpenInnovation (OI) research by adopting its attention to boundary-crossingknowledge flows and by…

First measurement of quarkonium polarization in nuclear collisions at the LHC

2021

The polarization of inclusive J/$\psi$ and $\Upsilon(1{\rm S})$ produced in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}}=5.02$ TeV at the LHC is measured with the ALICE detector. The study is carried out by reconstructing the quarkonium through its decay to muon pairs in the rapidity region $2.5<y<4$ and measuring the polar and azimuthal angular distributions of the muons. The polarization parameters $\lambda_{\theta}$, $\lambda_{\phi}$ and $\lambda_{\theta\phi}$ are measured in the helicity and Collins-Soper reference frames, in the transverse momentum interval $2<p_{\rm T}<10$ GeV/$c$ and $p_{\rm T}<15$ GeV/$c$ for the J/$\psi$ and $\Upsilon(1{\rm S})$, respectively. The polarization parameter…

Effects of satellite transmitters on survival in Snowy Owls Bubo scandiacus

2017

The use of tracking devices to monitor birds is extensive, but the effects of such instruments on equipped individuals are still insufficiently taken into account. Here we evaluate potential effects of backpack-mounted satellite transmitters (platform terminal transmitters; PTTs) on survival of 28 Snowy Owls Bubo scandiacus. Six confirmed deaths were all probably related to natural and human-induced causes. Although PTT operational time was significantly shorter than expected lifetime of Snowy Owls, five owls were observed alive after transmissions ceased. Additionally four PTTs stopped due to low battery levels, indicating end of transmitter life and not owl mortality. We found no evidence…

Om dere vil høre hvordan jeg har det? : en litteraturstudie som omhandler barns opplevelse av alvorlige foreldrekonflikter og hva som kan bidra til å…

2016

Masteroppgave psykisk helsearbeid ME504 - Universitetet i Agder 2016 The purpose of this thesis is to convey knowledge about how children experience serious parental conflicts and how to decrease the negative impact these conflicts has on the children involved. A literature review has been chosen as the scientific method while working with this study. A comprehensive search in different scientific databases has been performed, in a process in which English words have been used. This study is an integrative review where a combination of different approaches allow me to summarize empirical and theoretical literature into comprehensive knowledge about a phenomenon. The theoretical perspectives…

Tietoturvan ja tietosuojan kehittäminen pilviteknologiassa : standardit ja kehysmallit sekä riskienhallinnan näkökulma

2010

Informaatioteknologian kehityksen myötä on syntynyt idea tietojenkäsittelyn myymisestä palveluna minkä tahansa hyödykkeen tavoin. Kustannustehokas, skaalautuva ja helppokäyttöinen pilviteknologia herättää mielenkiintoa eri puolilla maailmaa. Internetin yli tarjottavien pilvipalveluiden tietoturva ja tietosuoja vaativat kuitenkin erityishuomiota yritysten ulkoistaessa tietojenkäsittelynsä kolmannen osapuolen hoidettavaksi. Tietoturvan tai tietosuojan pettäminen on merkittävä riski eri osapuolille. Tästä syystä yritysten liikesalaisuudet tai yksilöiden arkaluontoiset tiedot tulee riskien realisoitumisen välttämiseksi suojata asianmukaisin keinoin. Erilaisten tietojenkäsittelystandardien ja - …
