FIRST NORDIC NEUROSCIENCE MEETING a Scientific Meeting for All Neuroscientists Arranged in Trondheim, Norway The Nordic Neuroscience 2015 JUNE 10-12, 2015 CONFERENCE BOOK FIRST NORDIC NEUROSCIENCE MEETING A scientific meeting for all neuroscientists arranged in Trondheim, Norway. A wish of achieving greater knowledge about the work done in Nordic institutes to open more interactions with neighboring countries and establish networks for future collaborations. 2 THE NORDIC NEUROSCIENCE 2015 JUNE 10-12 IN TRONDHEIM, NORWAY We are delighted to welcome you to the first-ever gathering of Nordic Neuroscience, held in the city of Trondheim, Norway. This is a newly initiated conference with the goal of increasing our interaction with neighbouring countries and establishing networks for future collaboration. Our wish is simple and unambiguous: we want to increase our collective knowledge about the work being conducted at Nordic and Baltic institutes. As the first event of this kind, we hope that speakers, poster presenters, participants and exhibitors will come away from the conference with the feeling they have met with success. We also have the larger ambition that this first conference in Trondheim will create a strong platform for the concept, so our goal of arranging this event biannually in various Nordic locations become a reality. The programme committee has worked on the conference since the autumn of 2013. Members have met in Trondheim to look at locations and discuss the programme’s composition. The result, we believe, is a stong line-up of excellent symposium speakers from Nordic institutes and top international plenary speakers from whom we hope you learn, are motivated by and enjoy. The programme committee also believes poster presentations are an essential aspect of the conference, and it is with great pleasure that we acknowledge the many individuals who have offered to present their work. We hope you have a wonderful experience and find the conference a memorable one, both because of the great science and because of the future collaborations it helps create. Welcome!

  • Vet DU Hva Som Motiverer Din Servicemedarbeider?
    982668 980275 Vet DU hva som motiverer din servicemedarbeider? Bacheloroppgave BCR3100 - HR og Personalledelse Markedshøyskolen 2014 ”Denne bacheloroppgaven er gjennomført som en del av utdannelsen ved Markedshøyskolen. Markedshøyskolen er ikke ansvarlig for oppgavens metoder, resultater, konklusjoner eller anbefalinger”. Sammendrag Denne studien undersøker hva som motiverer servicemedarbeidere og bidrar til at de trives i organisasjonen. For å undersøke hvilke faktorer som påvirker jobbopplevelsen positivt og negativt, tar vi i utgangspunkt i Herzbergs to-faktor-teori. Som forbrukere er vi i kontakt med servicemedarbeidere så å si hver dag. Vi møter dem i kiosken når vi kjøper morgenkaffen, senere på dagen selger de oss lunsj, og ikke overaskende sitter de i kassen når vi handler middag på vei hjem. Vi har ikke lykkes å finne mange relevante forsknings publikasjoner vedrørende servicemedarbeiderens trivsel og motivasjon. Dette gjør det ekstra spennende for oss å gjør en undersøkelse av denne yrkesgruppen. For å komme nært innpå servicemedarbeideren, valgte vi en kvalitativ tilnærming, og foretok dybdeintervjuer av ansatte i Deli de Luca. To-faktor-teorien dannet grunnlaget for undersøkelsen. Spørsmålene hadde til hensikt å kartlegge hva som gjorde at respondentene trivdes og var motiverte, samt hva som eventuelt kunne skape mistrivsel. Vår studie viser at Herzbergs motivasjonsfaktorer i hovedsak kan relateres til servicemedarbeideren. Det som kanskje var det viktigste og mest overraskende funnet i studien, var at enkelte hygienefaktorer kan være en kilde til trivsel, noe som ikke er i tråd med Herzbergs teori. Det er for oss litt dristig å komme med en såpass sterk påstand i en bacheloravhandling. Derfor gjorde vi ytterligere litteratursøk og kom frem til at forskere før oss, har publisert undersøkelser som støtter våre funn.

  • Bakgrunnsinformasjon Om Isklar
    Bakgrunnsinformasjon om Isklar Vannet Isklar kommer fra Folgefonna, den 6000 år gamle isbreen i Hardanger i Hordaland. Vannet tappes direkte fra en kilde et par hundre meter under isbreen, på grensen til Folgefonna nasjonalpark. Før vannet dukker opp i Isklar-kildene, er det blitt naturlig filtrert gjennom en rekke harde lag i fjellet under breen. Vannet har et eksepsjonelt lavt innhold av kalk og mineraler, resultatet er et unikt rent og friskt vann. Isklar er klassifisert som et naturlig mineralvann, den høyeste klassifiseringen et flaskevann kan få, blant annet på grunn av sin renhet og konsistente sammensetning. Vannet fra Isklar-kilden holder en konstant temperatur året gjennom på tre-fire grader Celsius. Når vannet sildrer ut fra fjellet, renner det i rør ned til fabrikken hvor det tappes på flasker. Flere andre kildevannsmerker hentes i kontrast til dette ofte opp fra borehull i bakken. Kilden Isklar-kildene har vært benyttet som drikkevannskilde av lokalbefolkningen i generasjoner. Gjennom et av Norges første rettsdokumenter fra 1200-tallet, har de lovfestet rett til å drikke vann fra kilden. Men de er pliktige til å dele vannet med andre. Sagn og mysterier fra Hardanger forteller imidlertid at urgamle troll passer på kilden, og at bare de som har fortjent det får drikke Isklar-vann… Lansering i Norge Isklar lanseres 2. februar 2009 i butikkhyllene hos kjedene Narvesen, 7-Eleven, Zenzi, Ultra og deler av Meny-kjeden. I november 2008 ble vannet prelansert på Deli de Luca i Oslo og Bergen. Under lanseringsukene bidro Isklar til å øke salget i flaskevannkategorien med 90 prosent, og vannet står nå for 40 prosent av salget i samme kategori.

  • Lojalitetsprogram Og Deres Innvirkning På Konkurransen I Drivstoffmarkedet
    Lojalitetsprogram og deres innvirkning på konkurransen i drivstoffmarkedet Kristianne Nordeide Havsgård Masteroppgave Masteroppgaven er levert for å fullføre graden Master i samfunnsøkonomi Universitetet i Bergen, Institutt for økonomi [Juni 2019] i Forord Denne masteroppgaven er skrevet som en avsluttende del på mitt femårige profesjonsstudium i Samfunnsøkonomi ved Universitetet i Bergen. Jeg vil gjerne takke mine to flinke veiledere, Frode Meland og Steinar Vagstad, for god hjelp og nyttige innspill i arbeidet med masteroppgaven min. Samtidig vil jeg takke min beste venninne, Susanne Helen Gangstøe; det har vært en stor trygghet å skrive masteroppgave samtidig som deg, takk for gode diskusjoner og kommentarer underveis. Videre ønsker jeg å takke Konkurransetilsynet, som ga meg idé og inspirasjon til oppgaven. Jeg ønsker også å takke Henry Langseth ved bibliotek for samfunnsvitenskap og musikk, som var til stor hjelp da jeg skulle gå i gang med masteroppgaven, og som lærte meg å bruke Endnote. Til slutt vil jeg takke min alltid støttende ektemann, Sveinung Grytøyr, min far, Halldor Havsgård, samt øvrig familie og venner. Takk for at dere har lest, hjulpet og støttet meg, og gitt meg motivasjon og nyttige tilbakemeldinger gjennom hele skriveperioden. Kristianne Nordeide Havsgård, Bergen 1. Juni 2019 ii Sammendrag Masteroppgaven min har en todelt problemstilling. Jeg ønsker først og fremst å undersøke hvordan lojalitetsprogram påvirker konkurransen i drivstoffmarkedet. Samtidig lurer jeg på om disse lojalitetsprogrammene er gunstige for konsumentene, i den forstand at det er lønnsomt å være med i dem. For å svare på problemstillingene bruker jeg teori og modeller som omhandler byttekostnader. Dette gjør jeg fordi lojalitetsprogram skaper byttekostnader.
