Opin vísindi
Opin vísindi er varðveislusafn vísindaefnis og doktorsritgerða í opnum aðgangi á vegum íslenskra háskóla og Landsbókasafns Íslands - Háskólabókasafns.
Opinn aðgangur að rannsóknaniðurstöðum er í samræmi við 10. gr. laga nr. 3/2003 um opinberan stuðning við vísindarannsóknir sem og kröfur innlendra og erlendra rannsóknasjóða. Markmiðið með opnum aðgangi er að niðurstöður rannsókna séu aðgengilegar sem flestum óhindrað og án endurgjalds á rafrænu formi. Vistun í varðveislusafninu er varanleg og ætlað að tryggja aðgang að vísindaefni íslenskra háskóla í opnum aðgangi um ókomna tíð. Varðveislusafnið Opin vísindi er tengt við rannsóknagáttina IRIS og rannsóknaniðurstöður í opnum aðgangi sem eru skráðar í IRIS eru um leið vistaðar og gerðar aðgengilegar til framtíðar í varðveislusafninu. Með því að safna þessu efni saman í eitt safn verður aðgangur að því einfaldur og þægilegur fyrir alla sem vilja kynna sér það og geta þannig notið þess öfluga vísindastarfs sem fram fer í háskólum landsins.
Varðveislusafnið er OpenAIRE / OpenAIREplus samhæft og samrýmist kröfum sem gerðar eru um birtingu rannsóknaniðurstaðna úr verkefnum sem styrkt eru úr evrópsku rannsóknaáætlununum FP7 og H2020.

Students‘ academic well-being in Nordic schools
(Springer Nature, 2026) Gunnþórsdóttir, Hermína; Teglbjærg, Jonas Henau; Rúnarsdóttir , Eyrún María; Roe, Astrid; Klette, Kirsti; Gudmundsdatter Magnusson, Camilla; Sigurjónsson, Jóhann Örn; Faculty of Education
Students’ learning is affected by multiple factors, and recent reviews have highlighted that teaching quality is more important for students’ learning than several other factors. As schools play an essential role in supporting students’ development of social and emotional skills, knowledge, and behaviours, academic well- being should be a focal point in students’ education. This study aims to identify observable characteristics of classroom practice that might enhance students’ perceptions of academic well-being and understand what characterises captivating teachers based on student reports. Data were collected by video recording lessons from 126 Nordic lower secondary classrooms (Grade 8) in language arts, social science education, and mathematics, and students from these classrooms completed the Tripod Student Perceptions Survey (Ferguson, 2012). We use the students’ answers, particularly for the factor Captivate, as a measure of students’ academic well-being and explore the bivariate associations between well-being and observed aspects of teaching. The findings suggest that students’ sense of academic well- being depends on their teacher’s ability to ensure an orderly classroom where time is spent on relevant learning activities and on their teacher’s propensity to engage in actions that directly help them understand “difficult stuff” through definitions of key academic concepts.
Tölvísi - A 19th Century Icelandic Textbook in Advanced Arithmetic and Algebra
(Norwegian University of Science and Technology, 2025-12-11) Bjarnadóttir, Kristín; Pepin, Birgit; Kohanová, Iveta; Education
In 1865, Björn Gunnlaugsson—recently retired after forty years of teaching at Iceland’s sole Latin school—published Tölvísi (“Number Wisdom”), the first Icelandic textbook on advanced arithmetic and algebra. The work closely resembles Danish textbooks by L. Fallesen (1834) and Christian Ramus (1855). It distinguishes itself through a more eloquent style and a particular emphasis on divisibility and the precision of approximations, reflecting Gunnlaugsson’s major scholarly achievement, a geodetic survey that produced the first reliable map of Iceland. Only half of the manuscript was ever printed, and it omitted practical subjects such as ratios, proportions, and interest calculations. The book was never adopted for classroom use. This paper examines the purpose of Tölvísi within its contemporary Icelandic culture.
Work–family conflict : A classed phenomenon?
(2026-02) Ragnarsdóttir, Berglind Hólm; Bjarnadóttir, Valgerður S.; Hjálmsdóttir, Andrea; Víkingsdóttir, Anna Soffía; Faculty of Social Sciences; School of Humanities and Social Sciences
Prior research has found that high levels of work–family conflict negatively impact women's well-being. However, variations in the effects of work–family conflict on women based on class have been understudied. Moreover, most estimates of work–family conflict did not distinguish between work-to-family and family-to-work conflict. This study uses data from a cross-sectional phone survey of Icelandic women to assess the association between work–family conflict (in both directions) and symptoms of depression and anxiety among women of differing class positions. Key findings showed that (a) work-to-family and family-to-work conflict were positively related to symptoms of anxiety and depression among all women, but these relationships were contingent on class; (b) working-class women are more likely to experience symptoms of depression and anxiety due to work-to-family conflict than women of higher social strata; and (c) working-class women are more likely to experience symptoms of depression due to family-to-work conflict than women of higher social strata. The results demonstrate the need for further research on how women's ability to reconcile work and family varies by class and how public policy can account for such differences.
Silence. Dust
(2025-10-12) Pálsson, Páll Ragnar
A composition for vocal octet and string quartet, setting a poem by Jaan Kaplinski, an Estonian poet of Polish origin. The work was commissioned by Fundacja Polihymnia for the vocal octet Simultaneo and premiered on 12 October 2025 at the 9th Vocal Music Days in Gdynia by NeoQuartet and Vocal Octet Simultaneo, conducted by Karol Kisiel. In this composition, I further develop my exploration of musical pattern formation and what I describe as linear harmony: a compositional approach in which harmonic structures emerge through horizontal development of pitch material rather than through vertical simultaneities.
Snowflake
(2025-08-05) Pálsson, Páll Ragnar
A composition for solo violin and *Mugic electronics, commissioned and premiered by Prof. Mari Kimura at the University of California, Irvine. *Mugic is a wearable, sensor-based interface connected to Ableton Live, enabling the performer to control and manipulate the playback of sound files through gestural movement during performance. The musical material is derived entirely from the violin’s overtone series, organised into a fixed, non-modulating scale that does not undergo transformation throughout the work. The piece was premiered at the American Chamber Music Festival in Belfast, Maine. Since then it has been performed in Irvine, CA. Concerts in Stanford University CCRMA and at Roulette in Brooklyn, NY.
