More Efficient Manual Review of Automatically Transcribed Tabular Data
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-04)Any machine learning method for transcribing historical text requires manual verification and correction, which is often time-consuming and expensive. Our aim is to make it more efficient. Previously, we developed a machine learning model to transcribe 2.3 million handwritten occupation codes from the Norwegian 1950 census. Here, we manually review the 90,000 codes (3%) for which our model had ... -
Lek på barns egne premisser? En studie av lek i norskfagets begynneropplæring
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-05-14)Sammendrag Lek har gjennom historien hatt en sentral plass i den norske skolen, men graden av vektlegging har variert over tid. Med de nye læreplanene (LK20) har leken fått en mer framtredende posisjon sammenlignet med tidligere læreplaner som for eksempel LK06. Imidlertid har lek og lekbasert tilnærming vært et underbelyst tema i masteremnet norsk. Våre observasjoner, i tillegg til egne erfaringer ... -
Filosofi for Fiskere; Kunnskap om mikroaggresjoner som en av løsningene på fiskerinæringas manglende kjønnsbalanse.
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-05-31)Kan en av løsningene på fiskerinæringens kvinnemangel være bevisstgjøring og kompetanseheving rundt begreper som mikroaggresjon og mikroulikhet? Denne oppgaven vil utforske hvordan kunnskap om teoretiske ideer kan hjelpe fiskere av begge kjønn å gjenkjenne uheldige vaner og hvordan de kan endres. Siden disse fenomenene også er knyttet til institusjoners strukturelle nivå vil oppgaven også diskutere ... -

(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-05-15)This thesis investigates the phenomenon of pluralistic ignorance, clears up some conceptual confusion regarding its definition, and explores ethical problems connected to it. A primary contribution lies in the development of an agent-based computer simulation of pluralistic ignorance. Observations of this simulation lead to tentative recommendations about how to deal with pluralistic ignorance in ... -

Face masks, covering extended facial zones, hamper our ability to extract relevant socio-emotional information from others’ faces. In this fMRI study, we investigated how face masks interfere with facial emotion recognition, ... -

Remediating deficits? Problem representations in Norwegian policies for newly qualified teachers
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2024-07-18)This article analyzes how newly qualified teachers (NQTs) are conceptualized in Norwegian policy, specifically the green paper ‘NOU 2022: 13: With Further Significance’. Utilizing Carol Bacchi’s ‘What’s the Problem Represented to Be?’ approach, we dissect policy proposals and solutions to uncover and examine a tension-filled conceptualization of NQTs as both ‘valuable contributors’ and ‘being in ... -
Orientation towards the vernacular and style-shifting as language behaviours in speech of first-generation Polish migrant communities speaking Norwegian in Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-08-14)This study describes the patterns of dialect use among L3 Norwegian speakers born in Poland who have migrated to Norway. We collected the data in the form of sociolinguistic interviews recorded in Tromsø and Oslo, two different dialect regions, in order to examine potential differences in acquisition of two dissimilar dialects in Norwegian by L3 speakers. The analyses focus on dialectal and accentual ... -
Brain Correlates of Attentional Load Processing Reflect Degree of Bilingual Engagement: Evidence from EEG
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-08-13)The present study uses electroencephalography (EEG) with an N-back task (0-, 1-, and 2-back) to investigate if and how individual bilingual experiences modulate brain activity and cognitive processes. The N-back is an especially appropriate task given recent proposals situating bilingual effects on neurocognition within the broader attentional control system (Bialystok and Craik, 2022). Beyond its ... -
Putting the Cybermedia Model into Educational Practice: Expanding the Framework
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-08-23)In this paper, we build on an earlier operationalization of Aarseth and Calleja’s cybermedia model for an interdisciplinary evaluation of games as potential tools and objects for teaching and learning. Here, we critically develop the model and original template, and expand its four dimensions with two additional layers. We then use the expanded framework on concrete examples to illustrate how the ... -

(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-05-22)This study attempts to examine, based on the accounts of men, the relationship between their understanding and performativity of gender, particularly masculinity, and the prevalence of IPV in Nima, a boisterous suburb in the heart of Accra, Ghana. The study utilizes Judith Butler’s “Gender as Performativity” theory as well as Lori Heise’s integrated, ecological framework that presents violence as a ... -

Conceptual Metamorphosis: The Journey of ‘Sacrifice Zones’ and ‘Wastelands.’
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-05-15)Language, words, and concepts are not static and instead are transferable and flexible in their use and meaning. The development of a concept is influenced by many factors including the social, political, and regional origin of the concept as well as the application of concepts to social justice movement and scholarly use. Two analytical concepts ‘Sacrifice Zones’ and ‘Wastelanding’ are examples of ... -
