According to the report Trends 2015 meiner seventy percent of European institutions that internationalization is the most important development trend dei five recent years. In the last Trends report from 2010, the internationalization ranked as the third most important developments.

– This result can sjåast the context of globalization and rank payment. Everyone in the education sector realize no that you can not have quality without internationalization. Eit of the main features we see in Europe is more strategic partnerships that aim to position the institutions globally, says senior adviser at the European University Association (EUA) and author of Trends 2015 Andree Sursock.

Well partner out of rank payment

Because of global competition and more cooperation, the international rank payment become increasingly important for the strategy work at the institutions.

According to the report meiner 33 percent of those who responded that rank payment is very important, up ten percent from 2010.

– 56 percent win rank payment affects valet deira international partnarar. Dei Discover facility and a increased pressure from governments, who wish that at least ein of the country’s institutions are among dei 500 best. Some governments finance even this student mobility to institutions that do not have high up enough up the rankings, win Sursock.

According to the report collects and institutional information from the rankings in a very common greater extent than previously and have adding that follows actively and responds to them.

A revolution in new technologies

Course One of the main findings from Trends is the use of new technologies and e-learning, which is expected to increase in within the next few years . Berre 21 percent of facilities use Massive Online Open Courses (Mooc) and other types of e-learning today, but also planning 29 percent using such tools.

– There is Inga doubt that the institutions are thinking of Mooc as a tool in deira international strategy to reach out to a wide audience and position themselves globally. But I think Mooc phenomenon is only tip of the iceberg. Revolution innan information and communication technology has not yet been fully exploited by all European institutions, victory Sursock.

According to The New Media Consortium and EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative, it is likely that computer games, methods and elements from computer games (gamification) , learning analysis, 3D printing technology you can wear, will affect graduate education in within the next five years.

Establishes new positions

New technologies affect learning and teaching, but, the quality assurance and the institutions their governance.

– Institutions establishes no new positions as Rector for Information Technology. New technology is ein large investment that they need to know what they are doing and take options off dei right.

– It is needed and developing e-learning and learning centers. When students tek with the smart phones and a laptop into the classroom, and they have direct access to information in the pipeline in the teaching, it affects the learning method. Teachers need to know how technology can be used to support the learning process for students, Sursock victory.

Great importance

execution of these projects will get insanely great importance for industrial development in the county, said Ortenberg.

Jenny Klinge (Sp) stressed that there are three projects that will compete. All frequencies is important for promoting greater activity in Møre and Romsdal.

-Ambisjoinen must be that all three transport projects must be included in løpegt of 20 years, said Klinge.

Amundsen estimates that ten percent used pulse belts on spinning their hours for a year page.

– Now 40-50 percent pulse belts, says Amundsen.

Sharp increase

That training technology is in the wind, also appear on the sales of pulse belts, pulse watches, activity ties. Sales of so-called “wearables” has soared in recent years and is estimated to sell for 288 billion in 2019, according to IHS Technology. This is confirmed in a report in the online magazine Business Insider.

Training Technology ranks also at the top of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) annual list of fitness trends.

According to Henning Holm, product director of Evo Fitness, it is still much to be gained from technology which measures the effect of strength training.

– It is easy to Track where much one runner, but it’s not so easy with strength training. Those who manage to crack the code on this, to be rich, says Holm.

– But what types of wearables do we really need?

– The most important thing is that people exercising. However, one should choose one thing, it’s a heart rate monitor. Then you’ll get much bigger idea of ​​what training does to you. The subjective feeling of ours is not always to be trusted. We think we are tired before we really are. Especially on those tough sessions, Holm says.

– It’s as if a thousand ants crawling on me!

– Measures not so much

Bjorn Maaseide, Norway boss in Bet Elixia, agrees.

– Some are motivated to exercise by measuring everything, others are not. I’m in that category where I do not measure so much. But as exerciser I think the wrist is a good investment, says Maaseide.

Bård Kristiasen, CEO of Sports Industry AS, think training technologies have an important positive effect.

– For me training become more enjoyable with all gadgets. That, I think there are too many. I also think it causes many exercising more, says Bård Kristiansen.

These training beaches are in this year – ABC News

The American College of Sports Medicine adds every year a list of the most important training beaches for the coming year.

list for the 2016 looks like this:

• Technology you wear (wrist watches, etc.)
• Body Weight training
• Interval training with high intensity
• Strength
• Trained and experienced training experts
• Training with personal trainer
• Functional training
• Training programs for older
• Training for weight loss
• Yoga

Many people find it helpful to see how far they run, and how hard they train in terms of calorie consumption and heart rate curves. This trend we come according to ACSM to see a lot of in the future.

– Portable technology is something that has progress everywhere in society, so it is only natural that there has been a trend in fitness. Watches and similar motivating for very many because it is easy to compare sessions, both with himself and others, says Rune Solheim, personal trainer and manager at Mykjemeir Asker.

A heart rate monitor can serve as a fine tool if you are concerned about heart rate zones, restitution, GPS and logging of your training. Anyway it’s not something you need to be active.

– It’s a nice tool to assess training volume and intensity, and correct if necessary, says Solheim.

Also read: – Proper training should be printed as medicine

Two trends retains top 3 position

Exercise with own body weight and høyintensitetstrening is in the top three this year as last year. Two trends that seem to retain the popularity for a long time.

– This is training that is easy to get to, and everyone can see that it works. You can do it pretty much everywhere and do not need to have very long sessions, he said.

There is no doubt that the training beaches progresses, and each year there are new training methods. It made a lot of technological developments, such as pulse sensors and GPS in socks – which means that the technology can be high on the list in the coming years.

– I think that technology will have an ever greater space within training . Also will it always worked, continue to be popular in the future. I believe and hope, however, that there will be more focus on the situation and the overall load of training.

Training with personal trainer has recently become more common, and is among this year’s trends.

– As long as the quality continues to improve, this will continue to be popular in the future. But an uncertain economy will probably lead to fluctuations, says Solheim.

Short and intensive

Time Effective training has been in the wind for a while and is going to be a trend also in 2016, says Kine Stensrud, project for classes in SATS Elixia .

Many people experience the famous time squeeze. Shorter sessions, which provides high power, is therefore a good solution which gives a surplus of energy in a hectic schedule.

– Efficient and high-intensity interval training in both strength and endurance – often with own body weight – will be trendy next year. With us is a 30-minute interval training on the treadmill in demand like never before.

Strength

Functional strength and base training will also be popular. This is training that will make you stronger and better able to cope with everyday tasks and activities.

– These lessons contain elements of traditional strength training, gymnastics and gymnastics, and dynamic mobility training, says Stensrud.

Yoga and flexibility training will we see more of, and training that provides great transfer value to other exercise. Both challenging physical yoga and quiet, meditative yoga is popular, according Stensrud.

– We also focus on training that will make you better in other activity or sport you are doing. For example, yoga for those who want more out of their strength training, for example by increasing the movement path in squat, or work injury prevention for runners.

Will save millions with narrower highway – NRK

The state veiselskapet New Roads AS will be responsible for the construction of 500 km highway the next 20 years.

The company has been commissioned to make the most of the money that is allocated to the various road projects. Therefore they will now consider whether they should go in for a common standard on upcoming highways.

– We’re going to look at what we would call “new ways normalvei.” In this connection we peeks to Sweden to see how they do it there. We see that they are doing things a little differently than us, says Director of Technology and development strategy, Anette Aanesland.

Will consider narrower way

While highways in Norway varies in width depending on how congested the various sections is, operates Sweden only one width. It is 21 meters.

– In Sweden built the smaller roads in stretches with higher traffic, says Aanesland.

The new drives will look at whether today road widths in Norway respectively 20 and 23 meters, can be replaced by one width as in Sweden.

Will investigate the consequences

According Aanesland there is a lot of money to save this.

Director for technology and development strategy in New Roads AS Anette Aanesland says veiselskapet focus on road safety. They do not want to make changes that something will come at the expense of it.

Director of New Roads AS, Finn Aasmund Hobbesland says that there are examples of a common road width of 21 meters can work well.

Before New Roads decide whether they will go into a common road width, the consequences of such choices should be evaluated.

– We do not want to do anything that goes beyond traffic safety. It is very important for us, says Aanesland.

Sweden has also not lighting on all routes with heavy traffic. There are also some new drives will take a closer look at. If there is anything they want to enter in its “normalvei”, is according Aanesland too early to say anything about.

Director of New Roads AS, Find Aasmund Hobbesland, believes there are examples of a common road width 21 meters can work well.

– The highway between Grimstad and Kristiansand has a width of 21 meters. I think everyone feels that it is a good road to drive on, he said.

The new drives have included the planned new E18 between Tvedestrand and Arendal. According Hobbesland be the construction of this road start to fall.

Technological revolution threatens jobs – NRK

The technology is changing our jobs faster than ever before. Many believe we are facing a new industrial revolution, the development now goes so quickly that many jobs will disappear.

Confederation (NHO) take forecasts seriously. Today sees the start of the NHO Annual Conference “The new working life ‘.

– The technological development is ongoing and faster than you think. Therefore it is important to have looking towards the future, and this conference is a step in the right direction, says Målfrid Baik.

After an extensive career in business in Northern Norway, started Baik in new job as regional director of NHO Finnmark 1 January. Future jobs is one of the themes that are very important for the new director.

Dramatic predictions

Future Employment:

Calculations performed by the research institute Oxford Martin School comes with dramatic predictions about how modern technology could replace humans in a variety of jobs, according to NHO on their website.

• Approximately 47 percent of all jobs in America today have a high probability of being automated away within 20 years (Frey and Osborne, 2013).
• The corresponding figures for Norway is 33 percent (SSB).

Technology Changes will affect all sectors and occupations, but it is particularly jobs without formal educational requirements scientists believe will be replaced by technology.

Statistics Norway estimates that we in 2030 will have a surplus of 147,000 people with compulsory schooling as their highest education.

In Finnmark has over a third of the population only elementary school as their highest education. On a national basis this applies to 1,130,197 people.

The future need today’s young

Technology Changes will affect all sectors and occupations, but it is particularly jobs without formal educational requirements scientists believe will be replaced by technology.

Målfrid Baik is not worried about the level of education neither Finnmark or Norway. She notes that NHO has an ongoing collaboration with educational institutions and LO:

– We are talking about the future of labor. Therefore, it is incredibly important for today’s young people get the right guidance, information and inspiration to educational choices that will benefit forward-Norway.

In Norway 1 130,197 people only elementary school as their highest education (2014).

When Baik talking about educational choices, it is not only higher education she thinks about.

– We have to get better to front vocational training. Skilled workers are an important driving force for development in Finnmark, she says.

Focuses on opportunities

Statistics Norway estimates that we in 2030 will have a surplus of 147,000 people with completed elementary school as their highest education. Without restructuring, many people fall outside the future labor market.

The newly appointed regional director of NHO nevertheless choose to focus on the possibilities:

– The technological developments also provide great opportunities and we must facilitate value creation and new jobs. The development will take its course whether we want it or not. If we are not with it, we will, at worst, fail to realize the potential we have in Finnmark and in Norway, believes Baik.

The need for new skills

In the years coming labor markets will increasingly be characterized by digitalization and automation.
