Glasstaket: illusjon eller virkelighet? En litteraturstudie av glasstakets eksistens etter år 2000
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-11-11)Denne masteroppgaven er en litteraturstudie av fenomenet glasstaket. Glasstaksteorien er en tentativ forklaring på mangelen av kvinner i topplederstillinger. Dette skyldes at kvinner møter usynlige barrierer som forhindrer vertikal karrieremobilitet. Nettopp dette at barrierene er usynlige, gjør det utfordrende å gi et klart svar på om glasstaket faktisk eksisterer. For å danne en bakgrunn for ... -

Repeating excellence. En studie av norske svømmeklubber i lys av Jim Collins teorier om fremragende organisasjoner
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-11-01)Om ikke absolutt alle, så iallfall svært mange organisasjoner har et ønske om å bli best. De jobber målrettet for å få oppnå sine mål, men kun noen organisasjoner har en evne til å gjenta suksess og bevare sin fremtredende rolle teknologisk og økonomisk i samfunnet over tid. Det har blitt utført flere studier innen organisasjonsforskning for å se på bakenforliggende kjennetegn i bedrifter som ... -

Vurderingsformer i samfunnsfag. En kvalitativ studie av tre vurderingsformer i samfunnsfag og hvordan disse påvirker elevenes læringsmotivasjon
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-10-31)Temaet for denne masteroppgaven er vurdering i samfunnsfag. Læreplanen har ingen eksplisitt didaktisk del som omhandler vurdering, Theo Koritzinsky skriver om dette i boken Samfunnskunnskap: fagdidaktisk innføring da vurdering i samfunnsfag i dag er en sammen satt løsning, der læreren står fritt til å finne sine vurderingsmetoder utfra tidligere erfaring og andre fag. Studiens hensikt er å bidra med ... -
Homogenization of nonisothermal immiscible incompressible two-phase flow in porous media
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-15)In this paper, we consider nonisothermal two-phase flows through heterogeneous porous media with periodic microstructure. Examples of such models appear in gas migration through engineered and geological barriers for a deep repository for radioactive waste, thermally enhanced oil recovery and geothermal systems. The mathematical model is given by a coupled system of two-phase flow equations, and an ... -

(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-10-31)Denne oppgaven omhandler ordning for militært tilsatte (OMT) og hvordan turnover kan ses i relasjon til denne prosessen. Forsvaret, og Hæren, uttaler ofte at personellet er organisasjonens viktigste ressurs og vi har med bakgrunn i dette valgt å rette fokus på hvordan Hæren evner å tilfredsstille de ansattes ønsker og behov slik at de kan få opp ståtiden i tråd med intensjonen bak OMT. Forsvarsministeren ... -
An Investigation of Empathy in James Baldwin’s “Sonny’s Blues”
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-02-15)This master’s thesis aims to look at how empathy is thematized in James Baldwin’s “Sonny’s Blues.” To do this, the thesis will start by introducing affect theory. Affect aims to put emotions back into the study of literature. Emotions become even more important because of the notion of empathy. Empathy is the ability to imagine oneself in somebody else’s shoes. Baldwin’s short story invites empathetic ... -
