Fysisk aktivitet og kognitive hjernefunksjoner. En litteraturstudie og spørreundersøkelse
Get PDFInnledning
I denne oppgaven ønsker vi både å søke i litteraturen etter eksisterende forskning på feltet omhandlende fysisk aktivitets påvirkning på konsentrasjonsevne samt samle inn data, via en spørreundersøkelse, fra studentene ved Høyskolen Kristiania om deres subjektive opplevelse av dette, slik at vi kan sammenligne det med litteraturen.
Problemstillinger
Hvordan påvirker fysisk aktivitet studenters konsentrasjon og oppmerksomhet?
Metode
Det er brukt en litteraturstudie sammen med en kvantitativ spørreundersøkelse for å besvare problemstillingen.
Resultater
Resultatene viser at forskningen på feltet er begrenset når det kommer til studenter som populasjon/utvalg. Derimot er det tydelig at studentene ved Høyskolen Kristiania opplever en effekt av fysisk aktivitet på oppmerksomhet og konsentrasjonsevne. Oppgaven tar for seg de ulike aspektene fysisk form, hyppighet og intensitet og vurderer de opp mot opplevd konsentrasjonsevne. Resultatene sier noe om de ulike måtene studenter opplever at fysisk aktivitet påvirker deres konsentrasjonsevne og danner et grunnlag for videre forskning på studenter.
Konklusjon
Forskning tyder på at fysisk aktivitet har en positiv effekt på studenters oppmerksomhet og konsentrasjonsevne. I tillegg viser resultatene at studentene ved Høyskolen Kristiania både konsentrerer seg lengre, er mindre rastløse og motstår distraksjoner lettere når de har vært i fysisk aktivitet. Likevel ble det ikke funnet noen sammenheng mellom fysisk form og treningsmengde og konsentrasjonsevne blant respondentene
Autentisitet i populærmusikk: Hvordan bevare, forsterke eller finne autentisitet i musikken jeg lager?
Get PDFMin bacheloroppgave omhandler temaet «autentisitet i populærmusikken» og jeg ønsker å ta for meg og undersøke ulike metoder og teknikker som kan være gunstige for å bevare, forsterke og finne autentisiteten i min musikk spesielt og popmusikk i Norge generelt

Exploring adolescents' experiences with personalized content on social media: A qualitative study
Get PDFThis work-in-progress paper examines adolescents’ experiences with personalized content on social media and how it influences them. Through group interviews with Norwegian students aged 15 to 19 years, we investigated their awareness, comprehension, and emotions towards targeted and personalized content. The sample consisted of 48 participants (20 males and 28 females). The preliminary analysis uncovered three themes: 1) Encounters, awareness, and comprehension, 2) Emotions, and 3) Increasing use and appreciation.publishedVersio
Travelling with a Guide Dog: Experiences of People with Vision Impairment
Get PDFThere is considerable research on people with vision impairment (PwVI) in the transport, travel and tourism sectors, which highlights the significance of real-time information and consistency in services to accessibility. Based on interviews with guide dog owners in the United Kingdom, this paper contributes an additional dimension to our understanding of transport accessibility for PwVI by focusing specifically on guide dog owners’ experiences in the travel and tourism sector. A guide dog is more than a mobility tool, but a human–dog partnership that improves the quality of life for PwVI; however, it also introduces constraints related to the dog’s welfare and safety. Further, lack of understanding of guide dog owners’ rights to reasonable accommodation leads to discrimination through service refusals and challenges to service access. This paper concludes that the limited and inconsistent public knowledge of disability diversity has serious ramifications for transport accessibility and suggests specific industry and legislative interventions in response.publishedVersio
Mapping routine measles vaccination in low- and middle-income countries
Get PDFThe safe, highly efective measles vaccine has been recommended globally since 1974, yet in 2017 there were more than 17 million cases of measles and 83,400 deaths in children under 5 years old, and more than 99% of both occurred in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs)1–4 . Globally comparable, annual, local estimates of routine frst-dose measles-containing vaccine (MCV1) coverage are critical for understanding geographically precise immunity patterns, progress towards the targets of the Global Vaccine Action Plan (GVAP), and high-risk areas amid disruptions to vaccination programmes caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)5–8 . Here we generated annual estimates of routine childhood MCV1 coverage at 5 × 5-km2 pixel and second administrative levels from 2000 to 2019 in 101 LMICs, quantifed geographical inequality and assessed vaccination status by geographical remoteness. After widespread MCV1 gains from 2000 to 2010, coverage regressed in more than half of the districts between 2010 and 2019, leaving many LMICs far from the GVAP goal of 80% coverage in all districts by 2019. MCV1 coverage was lower in rural than in urban locations, although a larger proportion of unvaccinated children overall lived in urban locations; strategies to provide essential vaccination services should address both geographical contexts. These results provide a tool for decision-makers to strengthen routine MCV1 immunization programmes and provide equitable disease protection for all children.publishedVersio
Cost-efficient service selection and execution and blockchain-enabled serverless network for internet of medical things
Get PDFThese days, healthcare applications on the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) network have been growing to deal with different diseases via different sensors. These healthcare sensors are connecting to the various healthcare fog servers. The hospitals are geographically distributed and offer different services to the patients from any ubiquitous network. However, due to the full offloading of data to the insecure servers, two main challenges exist in the IoMT network. (i) Data security of workflows healthcare applications between different fog healthcare nodes. (ii) The cost-efficient and QoS efficient scheduling of healthcare applications in the IoMT system. This paper devises the Cost-Efficient Service Selection and Execution and Blockchain-Enabled Serverless Network for Internet of Medical Things system. The goal is to choose cost-efficient services and schedule all tasks based on their QoS and minimum execution cost. Simulation results show that the proposed outperform all existing schemes regarding data security, validation by 10%, and cost of application execution by 33% in IoMT.publishedVersio
Diets and drugs for weight loss and health in obesity - An update
Get PDFNumerous combinations of diets and pharmacological agents, including lifestyle changes, have been launched to treat obesity. There are still ambiguities regarding the efficacies of different approaches despite many clinical trials and the use of animal models to study physiological mechanisms in weight management and obesity comorbidities, Here, we present an update on promising diets and pharmacological aids. Literature published after the year 2005 was searched in PubMed, Medline and Google scholar. Among recommended diets are low-fat (LF) and low-carbohydrate (LC) diets, in addition to the Mediterranean diet and the intermittent fasting approach, all of which presumably being optimized by adequate contents of dietary fibers. A basic point for weight loss is to adopt a diet that creates a permanently negative and acceptable energy balance, and prolonged dietary adherence is a crucial factor. As for pharmacological aids, obese patients with type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance seem to benefit from LC diet combined with a GLP-1 agonist, e.g. semaglutide, which may improve glycemic control, stimulate satiety, and suppress appetite. The lipase inhibitor orlistat is still used to maintain a low-fat approach, which may be favorable e.g. in hypercholesterolemia. The bupropion-naltrexone-combination appears promising for interruption of the vicious cycle of addictive over-eating. Successful weight loss seems to improve almost all biomarkers of obesity comorbidities. Until more support for specific strategies is available, clinicians should recommend an adapted lifestyle, and when necessary, a drug combination tailored to individual needs and comorbidities. Different diets may change hormonal secretion, gut-brain signaling, and influence hunger, satiety and energy expenditure. Further research is needed to clarify mechanisms and how such knowledge can be used in weight management.Innlandet Hospital TrustpublishedVersio
