This chapter explores how student course evaluation can potentially be strengthened as a pedagogical practice and be more actively used in teaching improvement that benefits students’ learning. Moreover, we explore the role academic developers can have in student evaluation practice. The chapter builds on an interview study of twelve Norwegian academic developers and leaders of academic development ...

Mitt spørsmål er om ikke partene er tjent med å ta et skritt tilbake og se nærmere på prosessen, råder innsender. Han ber dem stille seg selv tre testspørsmål.

As recurrent disease outbreaks impart economic adversity across the global shrimp farming sector in general, and in Asia in particular, clarifying determinants of outbreak susceptibility carries significance for sustainability in economic growth and social and environmental prospects. This study employs logistic regression to assess the probability of disease occurrence in intensive white leg shrimp ...

The escape of farmed salmon may result in unwanted interbreeding with wild salmon populations. The development of a sterile salmon can prevent the negative effect of unwanted genetic introgression as well as provide the industry with solutions to drawbacks associated with sexual maturation. A sterile fish will also improve the competitive strength of the 6 Norwegian breeding companies as the fish ...

En god avsluttende eksamen vurderer i hvilken grad intendert læringsutbytte har blitt oppnådd på en objektiv, reproduserbar og helst autentisk måte. Det er imidlertid lite tilfredsstillende hvis en faglærer bruker mye tid på vurdering av læring framfor vurdering for læring underveis i semesteret. Derfor kan det være attraktivt å utforske muligheter med en digital automatisk rettet eksamen, spesielt ...

Speech-language therapists/pathologists (SLT/Ps) are key professionals in the management and treatment of primary progressive aphasia (PPA), however, there are gaps in education and training within the discipline, with implications for skills, confidence, and clinical decision-making. This survey aimed to explore the areas of need amongst SLT/Ps working with people living with PPA (PwPPA) internationally ...

Benthic foraminifera are one of the major groups of marine protists that also occur in freshwater and terrestrial habitats. They are widely used to monitor current and past environmental conditions. Over the last three decades, thousands of DNA sequences have been obtained from benthic foraminiferal isolates. The results of this long-term effort are compiled here in the form of the first curated ...

Background Early diagnosis and antibiotic therapy in patients with sepsis reduce morbidity and mortality, thus pre-hospital management is likely to affect patient outcomes. Pre-hospital administration may increase the risk of unnecessary use of broad-spectrum antibiotics, but identification of an infectious focus enables more targeted antibiotic therapy. The aim of this study was to investigate ...

Background With increasing focus on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in chronic rheumatic diseases, we aimed to evaluate the self-reported physical and psychosocial health in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) compared to matched population-based controls. Furthermore, we aimed to study the association of patient and physician-reported outcome measures in JIA with ...

Even though Inclusive Education (IE) is required both legally and socially, it is often not implemented in the day-to-day teaching practice of faculty in higher education (HE) institutions. Professional development (PD) training is considered an important means to address this discrepancy, however, its impact on the long-term implementation of IE is unclear. This exploratory study is the first of ...
