Hensikten med denne studien var å undersøke i hvilken grad virtuell ledelse skaper utfordringer og redusert tillit i virtuelle team, og hvordan bruk av moderne kommunikasjonsteknologi kan kompensere for slike avstandsutfordringer. For å besvare problemstillingen ble 13 artikler analysert. I denne masteroppgaven har vi sett problemstillingen opp mot to perspektiver på ledelse, det instrumentelle og ...

The present thesis looks at the relationship between cultures, mass media representations, war, and peace. The main research question is how self, other, and conflict are presented in artefacts of contemporary US popular culture - war and action movies in particular - and what impact such representations have on the attitudes, conceptualisations, and, ultimately, the behaviour of individuals and ...

“The first global pandemic in more than 100 years, COVID-19 has spread throughout the world at an unprecedented speed” states an article in the World Economic Forum. However, the same piece explicitly links the current COVID-19 pandemic to HIV/AIDS – another global epidemic that has occured during our lifetime.

Such prioritization entails allocation of scarce public resources with implications for patients, nurses and society. Although prioritization in health care ...

Herein is disclosed a novel visible-light photocatalytic double C–H functionalization of indoles. The reaction affords 2,3-difunctional- ized indoles in up to 84% yield, but the reaction rate depends strongly on electronic substituent effects. Mechanistic DFT studies and control experiments suggest that the secondary functionalization occurs through an independent photocatalytic oxidation ...

People from all over the world and manifold backgrounds come to Germany to live there. When they come they need to make sense of what they are experiencing in that new landscape in order to become part of society with ideally equal rights and opportunities. Integration is one way to frame the arrival and settling of immigrants in a new society. This is in particular the case when moving across borders ...

Studien undersøker hvordan strategi oversettes til økonomiske styringsmål i ideelle organisasjoner. Ideelle organisasjoner skiller seg fra andre organisasjoner på den måten at de ikke søker økonomisk vinning, men har et ideelt formål som de ønsker å oppnå. Ofte kan resultatene av arbeidet være vanskelig å måle, og ideelle organisasjoner har ofte mange som er med på frivillig basis fordi de tror på ...

Dette paperet er et resultat av et mindre prosjekt oppmerksomheten er rettet mot tospråklige barns lesekompetanse på minoritetsspråket, som også er elevenes opplæringsspråk. Resultatet fra fase I viser at elevene var gode tekniske lesere, men hadde en svakere forståelse ved lesing av tekster på minoritetsspråket enn på majoritetsspråket. Dette har ført til fase II der intensjonen er felles innsats ...

The paper presents a visual methods approach from a cross national methodological project that used digital visual technologies to examine young children's perspectives in father-child interactions. The approach combines capturing the dialectic with visual reflexivity. The notion of ‘capturing the dialectic’ specifically by analysing conflict to gather the child’s intention as their perspective, is ...
