  Unmanned aerial vehicles for marine mammal surveys in arctic and sub-arctic regions 

  Aniceto, Ana Sofia Albuquerque Lima (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2018-06-19)

  New tools and methods are needed to monitor marine resources so that industrial activities can be conducted without (or at least minimizing) adverse impacts on species of concern. UAVs can be used as a complementary or alternative tool to current methods for monitoring and research of marine mammals. This study highlights current knowledge gaps and the need for further empirical testing of these ...

  Cobalt-Catalysed Alkene Hydrogenation: A Metallacycle Can Explain the Hydroxyl Activating Effect and the Diastereoselectivity 

  Morello, Glenn Robert; Zhong, Hongyu; Chirik, Paul J.; Hopmann, Kathrin Helen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-05-04)

  Bis(phosphine)cobalt dialkyl complexes have been reported to be highly active in the hydrogenation of tri-substituted alkenes bearing hydroxyl substituents. Alkene substrates containing ether, ester, or ketone substituents show minimal reactivity, indicating an activating effect of the hydroxyl group. The mechanistic details of bis(phosphine)cobalt-catalysed hydrogenation were recently evaluated ...

  Triggering mechanisms in the molecular pathogenesis of FXTAS 

  Hoem, Gry (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2018-10-31)

  This study focuses on the triggering mechanisms leading to development of the neurodegenerative disorder Fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS). FXTAS affects carriers of a “premutation” in the Fragile X Mental Retardation 1 (FMR1) gene on the X chromosome. A premutation in this context, means the presence of 55-200 CGG repeats in the 5’untranslated region of the gene. Unaffected ...

  Merittering som vitenskapelig tilnærming til undervisning 

  Sandvoll, Ragnhild; Winka, Katarina; Allern, Marit (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-20)

  I Stortingsmelding «Kultur for kvalitet i høyere utdanning» (Meld. St. 16, 2016–2017) stilles det krav til at alle universitet og høyskoler innen 2 år skal etablere et system for pedagogisk merittering. Ved UiT Norges arktiske universitet (UiT) er pedagogisk merittering iverksatt som et 5-årig pilotprosjekt fra 2016. Intensjonen med et pedagogisk meritteringssystem er å belønne og gi inspirasjon ...

  Democratic Participation in Early Childhood Education and Care - Serving the Best Interests of the Child 

  Eriksen, Evelyn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-27)

  The meaning of democratic participation in Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) remains vague and difficult to implement. Thus, the aim of this paper is to contribute to this gap of knowledge by shed light on the meaning of democratic participation in relation to the best interests of the child, by analysing General Comment No. 14 (2013). The research uses theories on democracy in ECEC ...
