Hvordan anvender elever med og uten dysleksi metakognisjon og selvregulert læring til å utvikle sin skrivekompetanse i norsk i videregående opplæring?
No full textNorsk sammendrag
Å lære å lære er et sentralt prinsipp i overordnet del i LK20. I dette ligger det at «skolen skal bidra til at eleven reflekterer over sin egen læring, forstår sine egne læringsprosesser og tilegner seg kunnskap på selvstendig vis» (Utdanningsdirektoratet, 2025e).
I denne studien er metakognisjon og selvregulert læring anvendt som teoretisk rammeverk for å utforske utvikling av skrivekompetanse blant elever med og uten dysleksi. Undersøkelsen fokuserer spesielt på hvordan elever med dysleksi kan bruke metakognisjon og selvregulert læring til å utvikle sin skrivekompetanse i norskfaget i videregående opplæring og bli studieforberedt.
Dataene som er analysert kommer fra semistrukturert intervju med åtte intervjupersoner på videregående trinn 2 høsten 2024, fordelt på fire videregående skoler i samme fylke. Fem elever med dysleksi og tre elever uten dysleksi ble intervjuet for å sammenligne om metakognisjon og selvregulert læring var mer fremtredende i den ene gruppe enn i den andre gruppen. Gjennom tematisk kontekstbasert analyse ble tre hovedkategorier identifisert som en del av elevenes skrivekompetanse.
Resultatene viser at metakognisjon og selvregulert læring har mange positive sider ved seg for å få utvidet og dypere forståelse av hva som må til for å utvikle skrivekompetanse i videregående opplæring. Samtidig må det rettes et kritisk blikk i anvendelsen av hvilke teorier som anvendes for å utforske hva, og hvorfor man vil utforske fenomenet.
Nøkkelord: dysleksi, skrivekompetanse, metakognisjon og selvregulært læringLearning to learn is a central principle in the overarching part of LK20. This involves that "the school shall contribute to the student reflecting on their own learning, understanding their own learning processes, and acquiring knowledge independently" (Norwegian Directorate for Education and Training, 2025e).
In this study, metacognition and self-regulated learning are used as a theoretical framework to explore the development of writing competence among students with and without dyslexia. The investigation particularly focuses on how students with dyslexia can use metacognition and self-regulated learning to develop their writing competence in Norwegian language subject in upper secondary education and become academically prepared.
The data analyzed comes from semi-structured interviews with eight participants in upper secondary level 2 in the fall of 2024, distributed across four upper secondary schools in the same county. Five students with dyslexia and three students without dyslexia were interviewed to compare whether metacognition and self-regulated learning were more prominent in one group than the other. Through thematic context-based analysis, three main categories were identified as part of the students' writing competence.
The results show that metacognition and self-regulated learning have many positive aspects for gaining an expanded and deeper understanding of what is required to develop writing competence in upper secondary education. At the same time, a critical perspective must be applied in the use of theories that are utilized to explore what and why one wants to investigate the phenomenon.

Next-Generation Sequencing: Application in Liver Cancer—Past, Present and Future?
No full textHepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is the third most deadly malignancy worldwide characterized by phenotypic and molecular heterogeneity. In the past two decades, advances in genomic analyses have formed a comprehensive understanding of different underlying pathobiological layers resulting in hepatocarcinogenesis. More recently, improvements of sophisticated next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have enabled complete and cost-efficient analyses of cancer genomes at a single nucleotide resolution and advanced into valuable tools in translational medicine. Although the use of NGS in human liver cancer is still in its infancy, great promise rests in the systematic integration of different molecular analyses obtained by these methodologies, i.e., genomics, transcriptomics and epigenomics. This strategy is likely to be helpful in identifying relevant and recurrent pathophysiological hallmarks thereby elucidating our limited understanding of liver cancer. Beside tumor heterogeneity, progress in translational oncology is challenged by the amount of biological information and considerable “noise” in the data obtained from different NGS platforms. Nevertheless, the following review aims to provide an overview of the current status of next-generation approaches in liver cancer, and outline the prospects of these technologies in diagnosis, patient classification, and prediction of outcome. Further, the potential of NGS to identify novel applications for concept clinical trials and to accelerate the development of new cancer therapies will be summarized
Solvent‐Free Photobiocatalytic Hydroxylation of Cyclohexane
No full textThe use of neat reaction media, that is the avoidance of additional solvents, is the simplest and the most efficient approach to follow in biocatalysis. Here, we show that unspecific peroxygenase from Agrocybe aegerita (AaeUPO) can hydroxylate the neat model substrate cyclohexane. H2O2 was photocatalytically generated in situ by nitrogen-doped carbon nanodots (N−CNDs) and UV LED illumination. AaeUPO entrapment in alginate beads increased enzyme stability and facilitated the reaction in neat cyclohexane. N−CNDs absorption in beads containing AaeUPO created a 2-in-1 heterogeneous photobiocatalyst that was active for up to seven days under reaction conditions and produced cyclohexanol, 2.5 mM. To increase productivity, the bead size and the photocatalyst-to-enzyme ratio have been identified as promising targets for optimisation.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.BT/Biocatalysi
Active Tip Deflection Control For Wind Turbines
No full textThis thesis presents an individual tip control (IPC) system based on blade tip deflection measurements. The controller is based on novel sensor inputs which measure flapwise tip deflection distance at a high sampling rate. IPC plays a key role in reducing fatigue loads in wind turbine components. These fatigue loads are caused by differential loads such as wind shear, yaw misalignment and turbulence. The presented controller is implemented in HAWC2 and high fidelity load measurements are produced using the DTU10MW Reference Wind Turbine. Lifetime equivalent load reductions were seen in both rotating and fixed frame components under extreme turbulence, inverse shear conditions and in normal operating conditions. A novel implementation of IPC is also presented where the blade tips are guided along a fixed trajectory to maximise blade-tower clearance. The motivation of this implementation is to reduce the chance of blade-tower interactions for large diameter turbine rotors. The theoretical background used in this study is presented first along with details of controller discretisation methods. Details of the iterative control design process is presented, and the simulated fatigue loads are compared for a number of control architectures. Finally, the implementation of the tip trajectory tracking control is presented along with an analysis of the pitch rate limits and the effect of IPC on electrical power output.European Wind Energy Masters (EWEM
The Impact Of Economic News On Financial Markets
No full textThis paper analyzes the impact of economic news, that is, the difference between economic announcements and what was anticipated, on financial markets. The three contributions of this paper are, first, the market expectation is derived from economic derivative prices that allow a full distribution for the market expectation to be derived. Economic derivatives data better predict financial market movements and also allow for testing whether there is information in the high moments of the distribution. Second, high frequency financial data allows us to test for the optimal window and discover how long it takes financial markets to digest and react to news. Finally, by using a U.S. and a European economic announcement and a wide range of financial markets, this paper compares announcements to show which are important for which markets. I find that high frequency financial data leads to a much bigger and more significant news announcement effect over previous studies that used end-of day data. Further, financial markets react very quickly to news. Unlike other studies that have assumed a 25-30 minute window, I have demonstrated that the announcement window is often as little as just one minute. Using the richness of the economic derivatives-based expectations data I determine when higher moments of the expectations distribution are useful in determining the announcement effect. I also show in which markets, and for which announcements, good news and bad news have asymmetric effects; and, in which markets are most responsive to which announcements. Finally, I have highlighted some of the interesting results that traders or risk managers might want to delve into in more detail.Economic Derivatives; Economic Announcements; News; Financial Markets; Market Expectations; Real-Time Financial Data
Characterization of water and wildlife strains as a subgroup of Campylobacter jejuni using DNA microarrays.
No full textCampylobacter jejuni is the leading cause of human bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide, but source attribution of the organism is difficult. Previously, DNA microarrays were used to investigate isolate source, which suggested a non-livestock source of infection. In this study we analysed the genome content of 162 clinical, livestock and water and wildlife (WW) associated isolates combined with the previous study. Isolates were grouped by genotypes into nine clusters (C1 to C9). Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) data demonstrated that livestock associated clonal complexes dominated clusters C1-C6. The majority of WW isolates were present in the C9 cluster. Analysis of previously reported genomic variable regions demonstrated that these regions were linked to specific clusters. Two novel variable regions were identified. A six gene multiplex PCR (mPCR) assay, designed to effectively differentiated strains into clusters, was validated with 30 isolates. A further five WW isolates were tested by mPCR and were assigned to the C7-C9 group of clusters. The predictive mPCR test could be used to indicate if a clinical case has come from domesticated or WW sources. Our findings provide further evidence that WW C. jejuni subtypes show niche adaptation and may be important in causing human infection
Investigating the structure and meaning of public service motivation across populations: Developing an international instrument and addressing issues of measurement invariance
No full textThe growth in international research on public service motivation (PSM) raises a number of important questions about the degree to which the theory and research developed in one country can contribute to our understanding of PSM in other counties. To help address this issue, this study revisits the conceptual and operational definitions of PSM to address weaknesses previously noted in the literature. Although some important steps have been taken to both improve and internationalize the PSM scale, this work has been done incrementally. In contrast, this study takes a more systematic and comprehensive approach by combining the efforts of international PSM scholars to develop and then test a revised measurement instrument for PSM in 12 countries. Although the resulting four dimensional 16-item measure of PSM reported here provides a better theoretical and empirical foundation for the measurement of PSM, our results suggest that the exact meaning and scaling of PSM dimensions are likely to differ across cultures and languages. These results raise serious concerns regarding the ability to develop a single universal scale of PSM, or making direct comparisons of PSM across countries. © 2012 The Author
