NATO’s Comprehensive Approach: Still Something for the Future?

Paper presented at the Norwegian Defence Command and Staff College (NDCSC) Doctrine Conference, Oslo, 25–26 June 2014.For more than a decade, the ideal and thoughts of a more ‘comprehensive approach’ to handle complex conflicts and state-building has been the focus of both academic think-tanks, politicians, and civilian and military actors in the field. NATO has worked to conceptualize these ideas in a directive for Comprehensive Approach since 2010. This strong focus on ‘comprehensive approach’ is largely positive, and was asked for by politicians and think-tanks from the early 2000. However, we argue that NATOs conceptualization of the general thoughts to a NATO concept, or maybe doctrine have some unintended negative impacts on the broad consensus about ‘comprehensiveness’ which may rather hamper rather than strengthen civil-military cooperation, despite good intentions. We support the ideal of comprehensiveness, but find NATOs conceptualisation troublesome and worthy a discussio

Clinical features, comorbidity, and cognitive impairment in elderly bipolar patients

INTRODUCTION: Data specific to late-life bipolar disorder (BD) are limited. Current research is sparse and present guidelines are not adapted to this group of patients. OBJECTIVES: We present a literature review on clinical characteristics, comorbidities, and cognitive impairment in patients with late-life BD. This review discusses common comorbidities that affect BD elders and how aging might affect cognition and treatment. METHODS: Eligible studies were identified in MedLine by the Medical Subject Headings terms 'bipolar disorder' and 'aged'. We only included original research reports published in English between 2012 and 2015. RESULTS: From 414 articles extracted, 16 studies were included in the review. Cardiovascular and respiratory conditions, type II diabetes, and endocrinological abnormalities were observed as highly prevalent. BD is associated with a high suicide risk. Bipolar elderly had an increased risk of dementia and performed worse on cognitive screening tests compared to age-matched controls across different levels of cognition. Despite high rates of medical comorbidity among bipolar elderly, a systematic under-recognition and undertreatment of cardiovascular disease have been suggested. CONCLUSION: There was a high burden of physical comorbidities and cognitive impairment in late-life BD. Bipolar elderly might be under-recorded and undertreated in primary medical care, indicating that this group needs an adapted clinical assessment and specific clinical guidelines need to be established

UiO Satellite Ground Station: Simulation, Implementation and Verification

This thesis has documented the work of implementing the new UiO ground station which is situated at the University of Oslo. The station is fully operational and it meets the needed requirements for a commu- nication link with satellites in low earth orbit. The antenna arrangement consists of four stacked Yagi-Uda antennas mounted on a frame with vertical booms made of fiberglass. The choice of fiberglass over metal minimize degradation of the antenna radiation pattern and the antenna input impedance. The effects of stacking anten- nas have been simulated in FEKO simulation software which is based on Method of Moments (MoM) integral formulation of Maxwell’s equations. To master all the details of the ground station requires a wide range of knowledge. The first chapters present some very useful background theory for gaining a better understanding of how the system works and how it was tested. There has been a strong emphasis on providing the reader with a clear picture of the complete system and the theoretical foundation needed to understand this. Hopefully this will motivate future students to take part in working with and improving the ground station

Motivasjon i matematikk hos elever som benytter «Den Virtuelle Matematikkskolen» : en aksjonsforskning der målet er å heve motivasjonen i matematikk hos tre elever i ungdomsskolen.

Masteroppgave matematikkdidaktikk – Universitetet i Agder 2016The title of this study is “Motivation in mathematics among students using Den Virtuelle Matematikkskolen, translated The virtual school of mathematics. The goal of this study was to increase motivation in mathematics among the children I was teaching, and I tried to do it by introducing and working with the web resource “Den Virtuelle Matematikkskolen-U”, shortned DVM-U. I also wanted to find out which impact work with this resource would have for the students motivation in mathematics, and which implications it would have for my work as their teacher. The issue for this study is: In which ways can introduction and work with DVM-U affect childrens motivation in mathematics? I have used the following questions to try and answer the issue: 1. Which changes can I see in the children’s motivation after working with DVM-U? 2. Which changes can I see in the children’s mathematics competence after working with DVM-U? 3. Which challenges and consequences have I met working with DVM-U as a teacher? This study is a qualitative action research where I have been the teacher for the children and informants. I have been conducting joint group sessions, one-to-one work sessions and interviews to get the clearest impression of the children’s motivation in their work with DVM-U. The data material is collected by sound and video recordings, along with observations and field notes. The results shows that all the children in the study had changes in their motivation. The changes have been both positive and negative directed. I have measured the motivation by three indicators, joy, joy in achievement, and efforts. These three indicators are also the main codes for my analysis of data material. The children have showed several indicators for strengthened motivation, and few indicators of the opposite. I found the same findings in the interviews conducted with the children. The conclusion is that there has been a positive change in motivation for mathematics among the children in this study. From a pedagogic view an interpretation could be that DVM-U can help the teacher in his work with an instruction customized to every child. DVM-U can supply the mathematics education with a pedagogical software for children with low grade of competence in mathematics. For further research I would suggest a study with DVM-U for a longer period of time to see how the children’s motivation and competence could be affected by the resource

Leadership behavior

Bacheloroppgave, idrett - spesialisering i trenerrollen, 2014Forfatter Maria Vikan Opheim Tittel Lederatferd Problemstilling Hvilken lederatferd er foretrukket blant idrettsutøvere? Hensikt Hensikten med denne oppgaven var å prøve å finne svar på hvilken lederatferd utøvere foretrekker hos sine trenere i forhold til skalaen ‘Leadership Scale for Sports’. Denne skalaen måler fem dimensjoner av treneratferd; trening og instruksjon, demokratisk atferd, autokratisk atferd, sosial støtte og positiv feedback. Metode I denne oppgaven er det benyttet et litterært studie for å kunne besvare problemstillingen. Data fra tidligere forskning er samlet inn og analysert for å finne svar på problemområdet. Resultat Utøvere setter sine preferanser for positiv feedback og trening og instruksjon høyest. Deretter foretrekkes sosial støtte og demokratisk atferd i varierende rekkefølge. Minst foretrukket er autokratisk atferd
