Alle snakker om kunstig intelligens, og stadig flere bruker AI-assistenter, som ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot eller Claude på jobben. Disse AI-assistentene og agentene er overalt - i alle bransjer og yrker.Men hvordan påvirker teknologien oss som arbeidstakere, vår kritiske tenkning, kreativitet og problemløsningsevne - både i hverdagen og over tid. Vi spør rett og slett om AI kan gjøre oss dummere? Og hva kan vi gjøre for at mennesket forblir i førersetet når AI er på vei til å bli en del av alt? Ukens gjester er Morten Goodwin, professor i kunstig intelligens ved Universitetet i Agder, Maryann Rosenhave, strategisk rådgiver i Atea, og Christopher Frenning, teknologidirektør i Microsoft Norge. Programleder er Christian Brosstad, Atea. Redaksjonen er My Louise Elfstrand, Peter Tryggestad, Marius Røed Wang og Jonas Mathiassen. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On the face of it, digital technologies are now integral to university teaching and learning. But to what extent have things actually changed … and are these changes  wholly positive? Cathrine Tømte (University of Agder) talks about the impacts of digitisation on Norwegian universities, and why teachers and students should perhaps be joining forces to push for radically different technologies. Accompanying reference >>> Rómulo Pinheiro, Cathrine Tømte, Linda Barman, Lise Degn & Lars Geschwind (2023) Digital Transformations in Nordic Higher Education.

Hva gikk galt med vindkraftutbyggingen i Norge – og hvordan påvirker det dagens grønne industrisatsing? Hvordan unngår vi å gjenta feilene når vi nå bygger ut havvind og ny, kraftkrevende industri?I denne podkastepisoden av Science4Impact møter Anne Husebekk, professor og tidligere rektor ved UiT, og Bjørn K. Haugland, adm.dir. i Skift, professor i samfunnsgeografi Mikaela Vasstrøm fra Universitetet i Agder. Hun forsker på hvorfor konflikter oppstår i den grønne omstillingen – og hvordan vi kan håndtere dem bedre. Vi får høre om hva som skapte motstand mot vindkraften, kommunenes rolle i energiprosjekter, hvordan vi kan bygge bredere samfunnsaksept – og hvilke lærdommer vi kan hente fra vannkraft- og oljeeventyret. – Erfaringene fra vannkraft og olje viser oss at energiutbygging må handle om mer enn bare økonomisk vekst og næringsutvikling – det må handle om samfunnsbygging, sier Vasstrøm. God lytting! 

– Høyere utdanning spiller en viktig rolle i den grønne omstillingen. Jo bedre studentene og universitetet forstår næringslivet, desto lettere blir det å sikre at utdanningene er relevante for fremtidens arbeidstakere og samfunnets behov, sier Sunniva Whittaker. I denne episoden av Science4Impact med Anne Husebekk, professor og tidligere rektor ved UiT og Bjørn K. Haugland, adm.dir. i Skift, får vi besøk av Sunniva Whittaker, rektor ved Universitetet i Agder og styreleder for Universitets- og høyskolerådet. Hun deler hvordan UiA, med samskaping som kjerneverdi, jobber tverrfaglig på tvers av blant annet teknologi, samfunnsvitenskap, filosofi og jus for å løse komplekse spørsmål innen havvind, kunstig intelligens og grønn omstilling. Vi får også høre hvordan UiA samarbeider tett med næringsklynger og om deres sterke mekatronikkmiljø med eget laboratorium, hvor bedrifter kan teste ut ny teknologi sammen med forskere.God lytting! 

Kipp Davis (‪@DrKippDavis‬) is a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Agder in Kristiansand, Norway, where he specialises in the assignment and reconstruction of fragments from the Dead Sea Scrolls and their interpretation. (Google Books) The Dead Sea Scrolls are a set of ancient Jewish manuscripts from the Second Temple period. They were discovered over a period of 10 years, between 1946 and 1956, at the Qumran Caves near Ein Feshkha in the West Bank, on the northern shore of the Dead Sea. Dating from the 3rd century BCE to the 1st century CE, the Dead Sea Scrolls include the oldest surviving manuscripts of entire books later included in the biblical canons, including deuterocanonical manuscripts from late Second Temple Judaism and extrabiblical books. At the same time, they cast new light on the emergence of Christianity and of Rabbinic Judaism. (Wikipedia)

Tirsdag 17. oktober 2023 ble 7 år gamle Torjus Seland funnet omkommet, etter å ha vært savnet i to dager i Lindesnes kommune. Hvorfor ble ikke gutten funnet når 1500 mennesker var ute å lette etter han? I dag skal vi snakke om hvordan redningskjeden jobbet disse to dagene og hva som er lærdommen fra en av de mest komplekse leteaksjonene i senere tid.Om episodenAksjonen involverte et bredt spekter av ressurser, inkludert nødetater, frivillige redningsorganisasjoner, luftressurser og uorganiserte frivillige. Agder politidistrikt anmodet i etterkant Hovedredningssentralen om å evaluere leteaksjonen. Formålet med evalueringen er å bidra til å forbedre redningstjenestens evne til å håndtere lignende situasjoner i fremtiden ved å identifisere læringspunkter og behov for endringer i systemperspektiv, leser vi i sammendraget av evalueringsrapporten, som kom i sommer. Leteaksjonen etter Torjus var både omfattende og kompleks. Rundt 300 profesjonelle frivillige, og anslagsvis 1200-1500 uorganiserte frivillige var involvert i søket etter syvåringen og la ned over 7000 timer i søk over de to døgnene leteaksjonen varte. Søkstimer fra de uorganiserte frivillige og nødetatene kommer i tillegg. På det meste var det fire helikoptre og opp mot åtte droner i lufta samtidig.I denne episoden snakker vi med personer som var sentrale både under, og i forbindelse med evalueringsarbeidet, om hensikten med evalueringsrapporten, hvilke læringspunkter den avdekket og hvordan disse skal forankres inn i hverdagen til alle som har sitt virke i redningskjeden.Gjestene våre i denne episoden:Kjetil Lussand er avdelingsdirektør ved Hovedredningssentralen - Sør, og har vært sentral i arbeidet med evalueringsrapporten.Vidar Arnesen er stabssjef i Agder politi og organiserte politiressursene under selve leteaksjonen, og har vært sentral i arbeidet med evalueringsrapporten.Per Kristian Askland er beredskapsansvarlig i Norske Redningshunder Agder, og satt i ILKO under leteaksjonen og koordinerte hunderessursene som ble bruk i søk etter Torjus.NyhetsbrevHold deg oppdatert om episodene våre og når vi slipper nye.

Alle snakker om kunstig intelligens. I fjor var ChatGPT på alles lepper. 2024 preges av AI-assistenter som Microsoft Copilot, Anthropic Claude og Google Gemini. Men skal du være skikkelig oppdatert og relevant på jobben i 2025, så må du nå snakke om AI-agenter og AI Actions.I denne episoden skal vi dykke ned i hva AI-agenter er og hvordan de fungerer. Vi spør også hva det betyr for oss når AI-agentene gjør ting på vegne av oss - og kanskje har makt til å ta beslutninger på vegne av deg og meg.

Sist uke snakket vi om bredden i HR-faget, og hvordan det å ha øverste ansvar for HR i en virksomhet krever en unik og bred fagkompetanse, der man kan litt om alt.I dagens episode dukker vi ned i et av disse områdene når vi tar opp et tema som ikke har vært diskutert på HR-podden tidligere, nemlig etikk og moral i arbeidslivet. HR er på mange måter etikkens vokter i organisasjonen, og sammen med ledelsen, har du et overordnet ansvar for at organisasjonen følger gjeldende lover og regler. Du og ledelsen har også et ansvar for at menneskene i virksomheten følger etiske retningslinjer og spilleregler for arbeidslivet. På mange måter kan vi tenke at etikk og moral handler om sunn fornuft, men når mennesker med ulik bakgrunn og ulik forståelse av arbeidslivets spilleregler møtes på arbeidsplassen, så handler det om å skape en kollektiv bevissthet på hva som er greit og ikke greit her hos oss. Etikk handler også om å utvise god dømmekraft, og det handler om å trene menneskene i organisasjonen til å ta kloke beslutninger når man møter på vanskelige dilemmaer i hverdagen.Tusen takk til Erica Grunnevoll som bidrar med kloke betraktninger om ukens tema.  -----------Erica Grunnevoll er en etterspurt coach, foredragsholder, kurs- og prosessleder.

BUFFALO, NY- October 8, 2024 – A new #research paper was #published in Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science), Volume 16, Issue 18 on September 18, 2024, entitled, “Determinants of cerebral blood flow and arterial transit time in healthy older adults.” This research paper highlights that brain health deteriorates with age, particularly in terms of cerebral blood flow (CBF) and arterial transit time (ATT), key markers of brain vascular health. This decline can impair cognitive function and limit independence in later life—an issue that will affect many as the global population continues to age rapidly. In their paper, researchers Jack Feron, Katrien Segaert, Foyzul Rahman, Sindre H. Fosstveit, Kelsey E. Joyce, Ahmed Gilani, Hilde Lohne-Seiler, Sveinung Berntsen, Karen J Mullinger, and Samuel J. E. Lucas from the University of Birmingham, University of Agder, and University of Nottingham aimed to identify modifiable determinants of CBF and ATT in healthy older adults (n = 78, aged 60–81 years). They also investigated the relationship between CBF, ATT, and cognitive function in older adults. The researchers hypothesized that markers of superior general health—such as higher cardiorespiratory fitness, handgrip strength, and grey matter volume, or lower age, BMI, and blood pressure—would be associated with greater CBF and shorter ATT. Results from multiple linear regressions revealed that a higher BMI was associated with lower global cerebral blood flow (CBF) (β = −0.35, P = 0.008) and longer global arterial transit time (ATT) (β = 0.30, P = 0.017). Additionally, global ATT increased with age (β = 0.43, P = 0.004), while higher cardiorespiratory fitness was linked to longer ATT in the parietal (β = 0.44, P = 0.004) and occipital (β = 0.45, P = 0.003) regions. However, neither global nor regional CBF or ATT were associated with processing speed, working memory, or attention. “In conclusion, preventing excessive weight gain may help attenuate age-related declines in brain vascular health.” DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.206112 Corresponding author - Jack Feron - j.feron@bham.ac.uk Video short - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpS4kK273os Sign up for free Altmetric alerts about this article - https://aging.altmetric.com/details/email_updates?id=10.18632%2Faging.206112 Subscribe for free publication alerts from Aging - https://www.aging-us.com/subscribe-to-toc-alerts About Aging-US The mission of the journal is to understand the mechanisms surrounding aging and age-related diseases, including cancer as the main cause of death in the modern aged population.

Hva vil det si å være studieklar etter videregående? Hvilke ferdigheter trenger elevene våre på studiespesialiserende å ha når vi sender de fra oss? Hva forventer de der i den andre enden? Hva vil det si å være en fagperson i et fellesskap slik man er tenkt å være i høyere utdanning? Jeg snakker med Stefan Fisher-Høyrem, førstebibliotekar ved Universitetsbiblioteket ved Universitetet i Agder om dette.

Noen av elevene i skolen får veldig mye oppmerksomhet, dette er ofte elevene med utagerende adferd i skolen på ulike måter. Hva da med de stille elevene, de med en innagerende adferd? De barna som ofte blir borte i en hektisk hverdag i barnehage og skole, og som noen ganger kan være litt for lett å gå forbi. Hvordan håndterer vi dem og hvordan kan vi jobbe med dem? Hvordan skal vi jobbe for at de også får det utbyttet de skal av skolen når det er så lett å gå forbi dem i klasserommet, hastende til elevene med utagerende adferd? Jeg snakker med Ingrid Lund, professor i spesialpedagogikk ved Universitetet i Agder, om dette.

Send us a Text Message.One of my favorite groups in the Nordic folk scene today is finally back, joined by the wonderful Norwegian hardanger fiddler Gura Kvifte Neisheim for the new maritime record "Kystnaert"This has been my most anticipated album of the summer, and for good reason. I fell deeply in love with this group back in 2016 with their incredible "The Moon We Watch Is the Same" due to the fresh, exciting, and organic nature of their sound and original instrumentation which continued through "Neighbourhood" and "Sofa Songs".Kystnaert has delivered in every way, and I really hope you all give this album a spin to experience the many things to love about the Floating Sofa Quartet."Revived coastal music from Norway, Sweden, Denmark & Finland.For almost a decade Floating Sofa Quartet (FSQ) has been working across borders with their own take on Nordic folk music – shedding light on the shared cultural heritage of the Nordic countries and creating music that is both preserving and renewing their tradition(s).Now FSQ joins forces with the renowned Norwegian fiddler Guro Kvifte Nesheim to take a plunge into the kindred musical traditions of the coastal regions of Norway, Sweden, Denmark & Finland!Commissioned by the Farsund Folk Festival the project Kystnært (near the coast) is centered around the regional folk music of Agder in sourthern Norway – a tradition that has a clear kinship to the music of its neighbouring countries. With Agder as a starting point Kystnært explores the similarities between an assortment of musical bits and pieces from the Nordic coastal regions, fusing them all into a vivid contemporary concert experience."Support the Show.

rWotD Episode 2474: Topdalsfjorden Welcome to random Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a random Wikipedia page every day.The random article for Sunday, 11 February 2024 is Topdalsfjorden.Topdalsfjorden or Tofdalsfjorden is a fjord in the municipality of Kristiansand in Agder county, Norway. The 12-kilometre (7.5 mi) long fjord runs from the village of Ålefjær south to the city centre of Kristiansand. The river Topdalselva empties into the fjord at the eastern side just south of the Kristiansand Airport, Kjevik. The European route E18 highway crosses the fjord on the Varodd Bridge.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:20 UTC on Sunday, 11 February 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Topdalsfjorden on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Gregory Neural.

Gøteborg internasjonale filmfestival 2024: I denne podkastepisoden reiser vi til Gøteborg for å oppleve den eneste visningen noensinne av KI-eksperimentet Another Persona, der Ingmar Bergmans klassiker har blitt endret og «gjenskapt» ved bruk av kunstig intelligens. Målet? Erstatte Liv Ullmanns ansikt med Alma Pöysti sitt. I vår samtale diskuterer vi resultatet, og hvilke spørsmål vi sitter igjen med. En kvinne som tar plassen til en annen kvinne… Høres det kjent ut? Persona er Bergmans mest eksperimentelle verk – om kunstnerrollen, narsissisme, psykoanalyse, drømmer. Filmen er blitt lest på utallige måter siden premieren for over femti år siden, ikke minst på grunn av dualiteten mellom de to sentrale rollefigurene Elisabet Vogler (Ullmann) og Alma (Bibi Andersson). Det høres umiddelbart ut som helligbrøde å anvende kunstig intelligens til å endre et av filmhistoriens mest innflytelsesrike verk, og ikke minst kan det oppleves sjokkerende med norske øyne at noen vil ønske å viske ut Liv Ullmann fra hennes mest kjente rolle. Det var da også Jonas Holmberg, kunstnerisk leder ved filmfestivalen i Gøteborg, klar over da han søndag 28. januar presenterte "one night only"-visningen av Another Persona i den legendariske kinoen Draken. Men dristigheten i prosjektet er noe av poenget. Slik formulerte festivalen det selv: [What] does the AI technology really mean for the art of film? For example, what happens when one face is replaced by another? Who is acting then? These are questions that we need to discuss to understand how filmmakers can relate to the technology. To give new perspectives on these issues, Göteborg Film Festival [with partners], is producing an AI-generated version of Persona, [and the] film experiment will be shown exclusively once at Göteborg Film Festival 2024, [and] followed by a conversation about acting and technology. Montages var til stede på både visningen av Another Persona og seminaret i etterkant, Another Intelligence (der bl.a. prosjektets tekniske stab, fra Gothenburg Film Studios, redegjorde for KI-arbeidet), og i vår gjennomgang reflekterer vi over hva det var vi så. Ved mikrofonene sitter Montages-redaktør Karsten Meinich og spesialgjest Johannes Hafnor, filmviter og stipendiat ved Universitetet i Agder. God lytting!

Oppfinner og multikunstner Erik Alfred Tesaker vitjer Tojes time for å snakke om skjønnheten i indre Agder, gleden ved å jobbe med hendene og at friheten bor på landet.

Whether your fitness goal is completing an Ironman race, jogging a 5K, or simply tackling the stairs without getting out of breath, today's guest has some surprising news on how you can get there quicker, by putting in less – yes, less – effort. World-renowned sports scientist Professor Stephen Seiler joins us all the way from Norway, where he's a professor in Sports Science at the University of Agder. Stephen specialises in studying elite-level sports performance. He's spent years taking a 360-degree look at how top cyclists, rowers, cross-country skiers, orienteers, and distance runners, perform at such a high level without getting sick or injured. As well as 100 peer reviewed publications, he regularly shares his findings on his YouTube channel and his X (formerly known as Twitter) feed. And, as his research cascades down to people like you and me, it's becoming increasingly clear that what's tried and tested in the elite, is equally if not more meaningful for us. During this conversation, you'll learn the 80:20 rule that Stephen has observed to be the most effective for performance and health. He explains why hard workouts are a stressor on the body, putting us in fight-or-flight mode – so they'll increase your risk of burnout if the rest of your life is stressful too. There are various ways to measure intensity, including lab-based tests. But Stephen explains his simple traffic light method – green, yellow and red – and what it feels like to be in each zone. He also explains his model of frequency, duration and intensity as a way of scaling your fitness up or down, whatever your starting point. There are all sorts of health, wellbeing, metabolic and performance benefits to be had from staying in the green zone more. It's something I'm discovering for myself over the past few years and I've got to say that I'm feeling fantastic as a result. I absolutely love Stephen's work and I really hope this fascinating conversation helps get the message out that you can achieve a lot more by doing a little less.

In this episode, Alice interviews Dr Joseph Scales, a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow in the department of Religion, Philosophy and History at the University of Agder in Norway. This podcast is the second part of a pair looking at the history and representation of conflict in ancient Judea.  In part 1, Conflict and Identity in Ancient Judaism, Joe gave us a whirlwind tour of a whole series of conflicts that shaped Jewish history from around 175 BCE through to the early second century CE – looking particularly at their impact on Jewish nationhood and identity formation. That conversation provides really useful context for this epsiode, which dives deep into some of the textual sources for Jewish conflict history in antiquity. Joe draws particularly on his current research project, called Fighting Talk: Motivating Violence in Ancient Judaism, which examines the nature of pre-battle speeches in ancient Jewish texts and their relationship to established forms of pre-battle exhortation in Greek and Roman sources. As Joe has written: ‘People resort to violence for all kinds of reasons. In the interests of peace, it is essential to understand how people may be incited toward organised violence. …In warfare, combatants are often incited towards their actions by others, and in the ancient world, such incitement frequently took the form of a pre-battle speech: Greek, Roman and Jewish literature contains many examples.' In unpicking a wide range of ancient pre-battle speeches, and exploring recurring components (such as the othering of enemies, claims about the just or necessary nature of upcoming violence, a commander's handling of his soldiers' fears, and visualisations of success), Joe's research contributes not only to a deeper understanding of how warfare was conceptualised and driven in antiquity but also to wider reflections on how organised violence can be conceptualised, justified and incited today.We hope you find the discussion interesting.

In this episode, Alice interviews Dr Joseph Scales, a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow in the department of Religion, Philosophy and History at the University of Agder in Norway. Joe's doctoral research analysed spaces of Jewish identity in ancient Galilee, looking particularly at the impact of material culture on personal, communal and regional identity formation during the Hasmonean dynasty, from 100 BCE onwards. His book Galiliean Spaces of Identity will be published in 2024.    Joe's work on Jewish and Hellenistic identities, and their cross-cultural interactions, has led to further research on ancient Jewish texts written in Greek, which enable us to understand aspects of the shared culture of the ancient Mediterranean world; and he has become very interested in women's practices and rituals in Judaism. Both of these research interests feed into his current project, called Fighting Talk: Motivating Violence in Ancient Judaism, which examines the nature of pre-battle speeches in ancient Jewish texts and their relationship to established forms of pre-battle exhortation in Greek and Roman sources. Because the politics of the region in this period are so complex, we have recorded a Part 1 and a Part 2 for this podcast. In this episode, Part 1, Joe  talks us through Jewish interactions with other groups and political powers in the region from around 175BCE to the early 2nd century CE – to help us understand the history of Judea and Jerusalem, and the ways in which ongoing conflict (near and far) shaped Jewish practice and identity, not just at the time but for many centuries afterwards. In Part 2 (which we hope you will also listen to, because it's super interesting!), Joe  dives deep into some of the textual sources from the period, looking particularly at the ways in which they visualised battle itself and justified war.

About the lecture We hear so much about human-caused climate change threatening our lives. Often, any disaster including conflict is linked to climate change. Without doubt, we are changing the world's climate quickly and substantively. Many disasters, though, are much more a result of other human decisions about where people live, or are forced to live, and the options they have, or do not have, for helping themselves to avoid calamity. In so many situations, disasters could be avoided, no matter what the climate is doing or what we are doing to the climate. In other instances, human-caused climate change is leading to disasters with the only disaster prevention option being for us to stop changing the climate. This talk explores the differences and nuances, demonstrating how much we could do to avoid disasters, including conflict, while also stopping human-caused climate change. About the speaker Ilan Kelman, Professor of Disasters and Health at UCL Institute for Risk & Disaster Reduction Ilan Kelman is Professor of Disasters and Health at University College London, England and a Professor II at the University of Agder, Kristiansand, Norway. His overall research interest is linking disasters and health, integrating climate change into both. Three main areas are: (i) disaster diplomacy and health diplomacy ; (ii) island sustainability involving safe and healthy communities in isolated locations; and (iii) risk education for health and disasters. His X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram handle is @ILANKELMAN.

In the space of a few months in 1975, more than 500,000 Portuguese settlers fled their homes in Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, Sao Tomé and Principe, and East Timor and “returned” to Portugal. These so-called retornados led to a 5-9% population surge during the tumult of the Carnation Revolution. How did Portugal, with its weak economy, handle this influx as its transitioned out of decades of dictatorship under the Estado Novo? Christoph Kalter's Postcolonial People: The Return from Africa and the Remaking of Portugal (Cambridge University Press, 2022) analyzes this previously neglected chapter in the history of decolonization. Postcolonial People explores how European nations were remade by the end of empire, through the history of 'returning' settlers from Portuguese Africa. Christoph Kalter is a historian of modern Western Europe in its global contexts. Currently Professor of Modern History at the University of Agder, Norway. He holds a PhD (2010) and a venia legendi (2019) in Modern History from the Freie Universität Berlin where he taught and conducted research from 2011 to 2020. His first book is The Discovery of the Third World: Decolonization and the Rise of the New Left in France, c. 1950-1976 (CUP 2016), originally published in German in 2011. Postcolonial People: The Return from Africa and the Remaking of Portugal is his second book. Michael G. Vann is a professor of world history at California State University, Sacramento. A specialist in imperialism and the Cold War in Southeast Asia, he is the author of The Great Hanoi Rat Hunt: Empires, Disease, and Modernity in French Colonial Vietnam (Oxford University Press, 2018).

Extreme weather is becoming even more extreme thanks to climate change. Countless lives are claimed by heatwaves, cold snaps, cyclones, droughts and torrential rains every year around the world. Climate change threatens to make things worse. But the United Nations is spearheading new action to make sure every person on Earth is protected by early warning systems within the next five years. It's hoped that this could dramatically reduce the numbers of deaths caused by extreme weather. Presenters Neal Razzell and Graihagh Jackson were joined by: Laura Paterson, from the World Meteorological Organization Ilan Kelman, Professor of Disasters and Health at the Institute for Risk and Disaster Reduction at University College, London, UK and University of Agder, in Kristiansand, Norway.

This week I'm delighted to speak to Martin Erikstad. Martin is a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Agder in Norway. His areas of interest are coaching, transformational leadership, talent development and youth sport. Martin played soccer to an elite level in Norway before moving into an academic career. Martin completed his Masters and PhD in talent development in football at the University of Adger. He also spent several months at Queens University in Canada studying under Jean Côté. After completing his PhD he worked as an Associate Professor at Nord University.   Martin has also led and co-authored a paper along with Prof Bjørn Tore Johansen, Marius Johnsen, Prof Tommy Haugen and Jean Côté entitled “As Many as Possible for as Long as Possible: A Case Study of a Soccer Team that Fosters Multiple Outcomes”. The study examines the Norwegian soccer club, Bryne FC and how it successfully fosters player participation and engagement in the game for the long term regardless of their athletic potential or motivation.   You can find the study here https://www.researchgate.net/publication/349966854_As_Many_as_Possible_for_as_Long_as_Possible-A_Case_Study_of_a_Soccer_Team_That_Fosters_Multiple_Outcomes

Stephen Seiler, Professor in Sport Science at the University of Adger, is internationally known for his research publications and lectures about organization of endurance training and intensity distribution. His work has influenced international research around training intensity distribution and the “polarized training model.” His work includes descriptive and experimental approaches, where he's investigated cyclists, rowers, cross-country skiers, orienteers, and distance runners. Dr. Seiler has published over 100 peer reviewed publications and written over 100 science articles about exercise physiology and the training process, and is a founding editorial board member of the International Journal of Sport Physiology and Performance. Dr. Seiler grew up in the US and earned his doctoral degree from the University of Texas at Austin, but has lived and worked in Norway for 20 years. While currently a professor at the University of Agder in Kristiansand, Norway, he was previously Vice-Rector for Research and Innovation and past Dean of the Faculty of Health and Sport Science at the same university.  He has also served on the Executive Board of the European College of Sport Science, where he founded the Elite Sport Performance Special Interest Group in 2014. In this week's podcast, Dr. Seiler and Sonya talk about what separates champions, data, periodization, moderation zones and more. Key Takeaways:   Can you rely on wearable devices? Breathing as a source of data Distinguishing champions - intensity discipline and triangulations How athletes can recognize how they feel Sustainable training Model of periodization Not relying on just the numbers on your device Concentration threshold Rest days Measuring heart rate variability
