The paper addresses socio technical relations of implementing a lightweight IT app in Norway. The focus is on how such technology will influence the possibilities for an organization connected to a large-scale heavyweight IT infrastructure to provide more rapid changes in line with healthcare worker’s needs. The research question is therefore: How can lightweight IT support rapid organizational ...

This article explores the variation in first-year preservice teachers’ professional competence in digital sharing and communication tools (software) by applying social constructivist learning theory and relevant concepts. The data were obtained from questionnaires distributed to 395 preservice teachers at two Norwegian universities in the first semester of 2019. Correlation and multiple regression ...

The synthesis of TiO2 thin films by the chemical spray pyrolysis method at different titanium isopropoxide (TTIP) to acetylacetone (AcacH) ratios has been shown to lead to the highest photodegradation at 1 (TTIP):8 (AcacH). These films hold promise in the field of indoor pollution treatment. Carbon incorporation into the surface and into the TiO2 lattice could be responsible for the observed ...

Forskning på læring viser tydelig at noen læringsstrategier er mer effektive enn andre. To spesielt effektive læringsstrategier er å hente fram fra hukommelsen gjennom for eksempel testing (retrieval practice) og fordeling av læringen over en lengre periode med jevne mellomrom (distributed practice). Forskning viser imidlertid også at studenter i liten grad er bevisste på hva som er mest effektiv ...

Background Testosterone is the standard treatment for male hypogonadism, but there is uncertainty about its cardiovascular safety due to inconsistent findings. We aimed to provide the most extensive individual participant dataset (IPD) of testosterone trials available, to analyse subtypes of all cardiovascular events observed during treatment, and to investigate the effect of incorporating data ...

Background International agreements and domestic legislation regulate genetically modified (GM) crops for environmental release, recognizing that genetic engineering could result in unintended genotypic and phenotypic effects. In that context, omics technologies, which allow comprehensive characterization of the molecular profile of GM crops at all levels, may be used to assess alterations or effects ...

Whether higher education students’ approaches to studying are amenable to change, is disputed. In this study, Norwegian occupational therapy students’ (n = 263) approaches to studying were assessed annually across the three-year course, with the aim of exploring changes during the undergraduate study program. Sociodemographic information and the Approaches and Study Skills Inventory for Students ...

Explicit calculations of vertical and adiabatic ionization potentials of cyclopropane derivatives with modern DFT methods have underscored the possibility of unusually large reorganization energies (defined as the difference between vertical and adiabatic ionization potentials) of 0.5–1.0 eV for several compounds. Such is the case for ionization of the twist-bent σ-bond of trans-bicyclo[4.1.0]hept-3-ene ...

Data were collected on the date of ...

Objectives. To determine risk factors for radial artery and saphenous vein graft occlusion during long-term follow-up after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods: From a cohort of 119 patients who had received a radial artery graft, 76 – of whom 55 also had at least one saphenous vein graft – underwent a preplanned direct angiography and anthropometric, biochemical, and endothelial ...
