Temporal dynamics of interference in Simon and Eriksen tasks considered within the context of a dual-process model.
No full textBehavioral and brain potential measures were employed to compare interference in Eriksen and Simon tasks. Assuming a dual-process model of interference elicited in speeded response tasks, we hypothesized that only lateralized stimuli in the Simon task induce fast S–R priming via direct unconditional processes, while Eriksen interference effects are induced later via indirect conditional processes. Delays to responses for incongruent trials were indeed larger in the Eriksen than in the Simon task. Only lateralized stimuli in the Simon task elicited early S–R priming, maximal at parietal areas. Incongruent flankers in the Eriksen task elicited interference later, visible as a lateralized N2. Eriksen interference also elicited an additional component (N350), which accounted for the larger behavioral interference effects in the Eriksen task. The findings suggest that interference and its resolution involve different processes for Simon and Eriksen tasks.

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

Undersøkelse av sammenhengen mellom alder, utholdenhet og lidenskap
No full textDette studiet undersøkte sammenhengen mellom alder, utholdenhet og lidenskap. Utholdenhet er evnen til å opprettholde en fysisk eller mental aktivitet over tid, selv ved motgang. Lidenskap referer til en sterk følelse av engasjement, interesse eller begeistring overfor en aktivitet eller et område. Følelsen av intensitet og entusiasme driver et individ til å dedikere mye tid og energi til et bestemt formål. Sammenhengen mellom lidenskap og utholdenhet er en sentral del i tematikken omkring hvordan ferdigheter tilegnes og ekspertise oppnås. Utvalget bestod av 671 deltakere mellom 16 og 85 år (M = 30.02, SD = 13.41). Analysen ble utført i SPSS ved bruk av en Spearman Rho korrelasjonsanalyse. Resultatene viste signifikante sammenhenger mellom lidenskap og utholdenhet (r = .47), og utholdenhet og alder (r = .13). Det var derimot ingen signifikant sammenheng mellom alder og lidenskap. Studiet diskuterer ulike årsaker til de forskjellige resultatene og sammenligner med tidligere forskning på feltet. På bakgrunn av kritikken mot Grit og resultatene i dette studiet konkluderer oppgaven med at det er hensiktsmessig å undersøke de to komponentene som definerer Grit; lidenskap og utholdenhet adskilt, for å styrke forskningen omkring læring og ferdighetsutvikling.
Nøkkelord: Utholdenhet, lidenskap, alder, GritThis study investigated the reliationship between age, perseverance and passion. Perseverance refers to the ability to sustain a physical or mental activity over a longer period of time, even if the individual is facing challenges a long the way. Passion refers to a strong feeling of engagement, interest, or enthusiasm towards an acitivity or area. These feelings drives an individual to deducate a lot of time and energy to a particular purpose. The relationship between passion and perseverance is a central part of the theme of how skills are appropriated and expertise is achieved. The sample of this study consisted of 671 participants between the ages of 16 and 85 years (M = 30.02, SD = 13.41). The analysis was performed in SPSS using a Spearman Rho correlation analysis. The results showed significant correlations between passion and perseverance (r = .47), and perseverance and age (r = .13). On the other hand, there was no significant correlation between age and passion. The study discusses various reasons for the different results and compares them to previous research in the field. Based on previous criticism of Grit and the results of this study, the thesis concludes that it is appropriate to investigate the two components that define Grit; passion and perseverance seperately, to strengthen research about learning and skill development.

Physical controls and mesoscale variability in the Labrador Sea spring phytoplankton bloom observed by Seaglider
No full textWe investigated the 2005 spring phytoplankton bloom in the Labrador Sea using Seaglider, an autonomous underwater vehicle equipped with hydrographic, bio-optical and oxygen sensors. The Labrador Sea blooms in distinct phases, two of which were observed by Seaglider: the north bloom and the central Labrador Sea bloom. The dominant north bloom and subsequent zooplankton growth are enabled by the advection of low-salinity water from West Greenland in the strong and eddy-rich separation of the boundary current. The glider observed high fluorescence and oxygen supersaturation within haline-stratified eddy-like features; higher fluorescence was observed at the edges than centers of the eddies. In the central Labrador Sea, the bloom occurred in thermally stratified water. Two regions with elevated subsurface chlorophyll were also observed: a 5 m thin-layer in the southwest Labrador Current, and in the Labrador shelf-break front. The thin layer observations were consistent with vertical shearing of an initially thicker chlorophyll patch. Observations at the front showed high fluorescence down to 100 m depth and aligned with the isopycnals defining the front. The high-resolution Seaglider sampling across the entire Labrador Sea provides first estimates of the scale dependence of coincident biological and physical variables
Learning to be Norwegian : a case study of identity management in religious education in Norway
No full textMy PhD project is called ”Learning to be Norwegian. Religion and national
identity in religious education in Norway.” It is a case study of how religion is
mobilised in the construction of national identity, both from above and below.
The "above" perspective is operationalised as a discourse analysis of Curricula
in Norway from 1974 to 2008. The “below” perspective is operationalised as
participant observation in classrooms, following 15 teachers in 3 secondary
schools in Eastern Norway.
In terms of theoretical questions asked of this material, I engage with the
literature on multiculturalism in Western Europe (Barry 2001, Baumann 1996,
1999, Eriksen 2007, Fuglerud and Eriksen 2007, Joppke 2004, 2009, Modood
2007, Parekh 2006, Phillips 2007). I identify a distinction between liberalists,
multiculturalists and hybridists in terms of the key question: What is the best
way to understand groups with identity claims? My main claim to originality in
is that people can be described as engaging in fluidising and solidifying
practices – making social structures more fluid or more solid through their social
activities. This implies that there are different levels of viscosity in how solid or
fluid groups with identity claims are. Theorists dealing with groups with identity
claims, including the sociology of religion, education and identity, would benefit
from a variable social ontology of groups. I propose that the terms “Viscosity” -
“boundaries” and “work”, taken together provide one such framework that
works well with my data.
Significant empirical findings include a shift over time in the meaning of the
term “values”. In 1974, the word “values” was connected primarily with ethics
in the formal curricula. By the 1990s this had changed. It was now also, and
dominantly, connected to notions of identity. Religion is consistently mobilised
for identity through metaphors of personal stability, or and through establishing
metaphorical connections that make the nation appear as sharing crucial features
with the individual self.
These ideas are revisited in classroom ethnographic data. The assumptions found
in the curriculum are challenged by the practices of teachers and pupils. It is
clear that the most important concepts of identity, such as “Muslim” or
“Norwegian” are being worked on by defining what and who is on the inside
and what and who is on the outside. Nevertheless, the classrooms become
effective learning communities, though more through shared actions, shared
discussions and well-managed disagreement than through sameness and shared
values. Teachers and pupils use the concept of “facts” both to further their own
normative arguments, but also to remain out of the reach of accusations of
cultural or religious insensitivity. Finally, my study undermines static
conceptions of how discourses affect the social world. As an alternative, I try to
develop an understanding of actors engaging in fluidising and solidifying
practices
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
