    • Lyden av Skallelv er en snekker i arbeid 

      Olsen, Kjell Ole Kjærland (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2024-11-04)
      Stadig færre er bosatt på det stedet de vokste opp. Likevel kan slike steder være viktige for folks identitet og deres integrering i ulike fellesskap. En slik tilknytning kan analyseres som en form for slekting, der individer gjennom relasjoner og praksiser vedlikeholder og knyttes til fellesskap som for eksempel det kvenske. Materielt sett tar slike prosesser ofte utgangspunkt i en allmenn forståelse ...

    • Veien mot en digital fremtid: bruk e-bøker i høyere utdanning 

      Svihus, Cathrine (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-10-16)
      E-bøker har blitt et stadig viktigere element i høyere utdanning, og forståelsen av hvordan studenter oppfatter og bruker disse ressursene er avgjørende for å videreutvikle pedagogiske strategier. Til tross for bred tilgjengelighet via databaser og konsortier som BIBSYS er faktisk bruk av e-bøker ofte lav. Dette gapet mellom tilgjengelighet og bruk kan håndteres gjennom målrettede tiltak. Artikkelen ...

The former nations were dominating in terms of medals, symbolising the force of the socialist autocratic system. However, because of ...

    • Sport Plus the Shooting: An Examination of International Sporting Success and Event Hostship's Impact on the National Willingness to Fight 

      Storm, Rasmus K.; Jakobsen, Tor Georg; Jakobsen, Jo (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-09-08)
      Research has long aimed to identify the effects of international sporting success or event hostship on nations. Overall findings suggest that tangible benefits are marginal at best. Still, some studies find that sport may have significant intangible effects, such as bolstering (short-term) feelings of national pride or happiness. Following this strand of research, the present paper asks whether ...

A model that draws on servant leadership and social cognitive theories is tested by surveying 222 hospitality and tourism business managers operating in France and the UK, and the data is analysed with ...
    • Co-designing tourism experience systems: A living lab experiment in reflexivity 

      Smit, Bert; Melissen, Frans; Font aulet, Xavier (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-25)
      Stakeholders must purposely reflect on the suitability of process models for designing tourism experience systems. Specific characteristics of these models relate to developing tourism experience systems as integral parts of wider socio-technical systems. Choices made in crafting such models need to address three reflexivity mechanisms: problem, stakeholder and method definition. We systematically ...
