The main objective of this thesis was to examine the importance of interprofessional collaboration and teamwork between different health care professionals on outcomes that are relevant for the professionals themselves but also for the organizations, and indirectly also for the users of the different services. Interprofessional collaboration and teamwork are an integral part of the work health and ...

I denne studien ønsket vi å undersøke hvordan innføring av studentaktive læringsformer i seminarundervisningen påvirket det faglige læringsutbyttet og klassemiljøet i STEM-fag (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). Et randomisert kontrollert studie ble gjennomført i seminarundervisningen i to innføringsemner i fysikk og kjemi ved UiT Norges arktiske universitet. I emnene fulgte ...

The aim of this paper is to highlight how the teachers learning strategies influence students learning outcome. Based on qualitative research we describe a digital online study-project. The results shows that teachers’ strategies highly influence students learning outcome. Communication and interaction by use of technology became a key element in the students own learning process. The teachers ...

This letter presents a new general framework for solving polarimetric target decompositions that extends them to use more statistical information and include radar texture models. Polarimetric target decomposition methods generally have more physical parameters than equations and are, thus, underdetermined and have no unique solution. The common approach to solve them is to make certain assumptions, ...

Solar radiation data plays an important role in pre-feasibility studies of solar electricity and/or thermal system installations. Measured solar radiation data is scarcely available due to the high cost of installing and maintaining high quality solar radiation sensors (pyranometers). Indirect measured radiation data received from geostationary satellites is unreliable at latitudes above 60 degrees ...

Ships operating in a cold climate face many challenges. There are several associated risks such as safety concerns, down time, energy consumption and limited resources. Amongst the key challenges, ship ice accretion is significant for cold climate operations. Exposing superstructures to the marine icing phenomenon can affect the ship’s operations, risking the safety of humans and machines. In this ...

Salient segmentation aims to segment out attention-grabbing regions, a critical yet challenging task and the foundation of many high-level computer vision applications. It requires semantic-aware grouping of pixels into salient regions and benefits from the utilization of global multi-scale contexts to achieve good local reasoning. Previous works often address it as two-class segmentation problems ...

Regular exercise has widespread health benefits. Fundamental to these beneficial effects is the ability of the heart to intermittently and substantially increase its performance without incurring damage, but the underlying homeostatic mechanisms are unclear. We identify the ROSgenerating NADPH oxidase-4 (Nox4) as an essential regulator of exercise performance in mice. Myocardial Nox4 levels ...

Compared to most other countries, Norway has been exposed to a stronger top-down implementation of information and communication technologies (ICT) in education. The pervasive change in the Norwegian school curriculum has consequently resulted in changes in Norwegian initial teacher education. Over 10 years have passed since Norwegian educational reforms mandated teachers’ use of digital tools as a ...

<p>Norway has been exposed to a stronger top-down implementation of ICT in education than most other countries. The pervasive change in Norwegian school curriculum has consequently resulted in changes in Norwegian initial teacher education. National plans have emphasized digital competence as one of the basic competencies that teacher educators and student teachers are required to focus on during ...
