På sporet av et spesialpedagogisk idégrunnlag På sporet av et spesialpedagogisk idegrunnlag: Marie Lovise Pedersen en heilpedagogisk pioner i Norge
No full textSpesialpedagogisk virksomhet har en lang historie bak seg, men som akademisk fag er de historiske røttene korte. Det var ulike fagpersoner, både menn og kvinner, som bidro til at virksomheten vokste fram. De engasjerte seg i å skape læringsmuligheter for alle barn uansett deres bakgrunn og evner. I løpet av historien utviklet det seg en forståelse for at spesialpedagogisk praksis burde kvalitetssikres. Dette førte til spesialpedagogisk teoridanning og forskning, utdannelse av fagfolk og spesialpedagogikk som akademisk disiplin. Marie Pedersen var en av de fagpersonene som bidro til at den spesialpedagogiske virksomheten vokste fram i Norge. Jeg ble oppmerksom på Marie Pedersen under en forelesning (5.10.2011) holdt av professor Edvard Befring ved Instituttet for Spesialpedagogikk ved Utdanningsvitenskapelig fakultet ved Universitet i Oslo. Jeg ble inspirert og motivert til å spore opp Marie Pedersen bidrag i utviklingen av spesialpedagogisk virksomhet i Norge. Formålet med denne oppgaven er å spore dette opp slik at det kan brukes som refleksjons grunnlag av kommende generasjoner av studenter og fagfolk innen spesialpedagogikk. Ut i fra det har jeg kommet fram til følgende problemstilling: Hvilket spesialpedagogiske idégrunnlag hadde Marie Pedersen og hvordan omsatte hun det i handling? For å besvare problemstillingen skal jeg belyse tre områder. Først gjør jeg rede for og drøfter hvilket idégrunnlag Marie Pedersen baserte sitt spesialpedagogiske virke på, for så å gjøre rede for og drøfte hvilken innflytelse hun hadde på dannelsen av det spesialpedagogiske fagfeltet i Norge. Avslutningsvis reflekterer jeg over hvor aktuelle noen av hennes tanker er i dag
Empathy and Aesthetics: Edvard Munch and the Paradox of Pictorial Thinking
No full textThe article investigates the relationship between empathy and aesthetics from a dual perspective. First, I discuss a painting by the Norwegian painter Edvard Munch, Weeping Nude [Gråtende akt] (1913–14), through the lens of 19th century theories on aesthetic empathy, primarily as formulated by Theodor Lipps and Robert Vischer. And second, I reverse the point of view in order to discuss empathy and aesthetics through the lens of what I call the paradoxical pictorial thought of Munch’s paintings. In contrast to the 19th century theories on aesthetic empathy, which I argue presuppose the distinct separation between subjectivity (interiority) and objectivity (exteriority), I contend that Munch’s paintings articulate how the affective dimension of our being is not private, and interior, but something that is sharable prior to the subject–object division
Edvard Beneš’ Demarches concerning Carpathian Ruthenia and Moscow’s Position (September 1939 – June 1941)
No full textThe article deals with the problems of Carpathian Ruthenia and its population, which became the object of international negotiations in the 20th century. The issue of Transcarpathian Region is analysed in the context of statements and bilateral discussions between Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia. The author presents the opinions of Edvard Beneš on Subcarpathian Rus’ and the attitude of Joseph Stalin on the same topic, as well as the main positions taken by the representatives of Czechoslovakia and the Soviet Union

Improving the text compression ratio for ASCII text Using a combination of dictionary coding, ASCII compression, and Huffman coding
No full textData compression is a field that has been extensively researched. Many compression algorithms in use today have been around for several decades, like Huffman Coding and dictionary coding. These are general-purpose compression algorithms and can be used on anything from text data to images and video. There are, however, much fewer lossless algorithms that are customized for compressing certain types of data, like ASCII text. This project is about creating a text-compression solution using a combination of the three compression algorithms dictionary coding, ASCII compression, and Huffman coding. The solution is customized for compressing ASCII text, but it can be used on any form of text. The algorithms will be combined to create a prototype that will be evaluated against general-purpose compression programs. An evaluation will also be made against the ASCII compression program Shoco. The results from the evaluation show that combining dictionary coding, ASCII compression, and Huffman coding does not surpass the compression ratio achieved from general-purpose compression programs
THE DEVELOPMENT AND PERIODS OF EDVARD GRIEG’S ORCHESTRAL STYLE
No full textEdvard Grieg considered the orchestration of his compositions as a very important means of creative expression. In spite of its seemingly simple character, Grieg’s orchestral style is colourful and versatile. It is based on full concordance of the orchestral means with the other elements of composer’s music. Grieg began with the orchestral style based on firmly established traditions and later deviated towards more colourful and refined way of scoring which suited best for the specific musical images of his creations. The effectiveness of Grieg’s orchestration lies first of all in properly chosen and proportionally distributed roles of the orchestral sections and individual timbres. The author of this article made an attempt to establish the approximate periods of Grieg’s orchestration style and to introduce their main traits. Relying on the analysis carried out in this article, it was possible to discern four periods of Grieg’s orchestration style development. The boundaries of these periods are approximate and based on their predominant orchestration features
Edvard Kardelj — Thinker and Theoretician of Agrarian Development
No full textThe history of economic and
social development in the world,
in socialist and capitalist countries
and in developing countries
as well as in Yugoslavia, shows
that the development of large-scale
agricultural production, i.e. the
socio-economic transformation of
subsistance farming and the
autarchic peasant — are essential
factors of modern industrial
progress. To understand the
historical position of the peasantry
and small-scale production in the
total development of the forces
of production, it is necessary to
master Marxism completely, so
that the most suitable methods of
economic and social development
may be established. Such a creative
power is contained within the
personality of Edvard Kardelj.
When a socialist revolution is
victorious in a country dominated
by the peasantry and small-scale
agricultural production, the
socialist transformation of the
village and the development of
large-scale agricultural production
are key economic and socio-political
questions. The selection of
methods for the socialist
transformation of agriculture is
basic for the final solution of the
peasant question: whether to chose
administrative and political
collectivization, or a gradual,
voluntary and democratic
establishment of links between
peasants and modern currents of
economic and social life? Edvard Kardelj believed that the
democratic association of
farmers based on economic
interest, complete voluntariness
and gradual introduction, is the
only possibility for Yugoslav
socialist self-management.
Kardelj's scholarly and creative
work concerning agrarian problems
is very comprehensive. The author
considers three questions
especially significant for
Yugoslav everyday practice: 1. the
relationships between agriculture
and the total economic and social
development; 2. questions of
association and farming
cooperatives, and 3. the role of
private farmers and the importance
of their personal labour with
their own means (i.e. privately
owned means). Edvard Kardelj also sought
solutions for many other questions
concerning the development of
agriculture and agribusiness. On
one side, he emphasized the
necessity of economically and
organizationally linking agriculture,
transport and the processing
industry into a integrated chain of
reproduction. On the other side,
he emphasized the importance of
joint planning of the investment
policy, and the bringing of a social
compact concerning the
development of the agroindustrial
complex
