Bevegelig handlingskunnskap. En studie i sykepleiens praksis
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2003-12-16)Avhandlingen bygger på en studie i sykepleiens praksis. Hensikten med studien var å sette fokus på daglig praksiskunnskap i sykepleien. Dette på bakgrunn av at sykepleierutdanningen siden 1970 tallet har gjennomgått flere reformer som kort sagt kan sies å ha resultert i kortere praksisperioder og innføring av et mer vitenskapelig kunnskapsparadigme.

(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2012-06-07)Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) was an iconographic scientist and one of the forefathers of the scientific revolution.

(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2010-11-26)Nord som kulturelt avvik og kulturell essens: 1800-tallets kulturelle forestillinger om nordlig geografi og nordlige folk er svært mangetydige, og spenner fra nedlatende forakt via romantisk eksotisering til sterk idealisering.

In the object recognition experiments, using picture-name or name-picture verification tasks, as well as object-naming tasks, clues to the causal factors contributing to such effects were obtained. ... -
Change and continuity : the bildungsroman in English
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2010-02-22)”Change and Continuity: The Bildungsroman in English.” Begrepet bildungsroman har vært brukt i litteraturvitenskapen i nesten 100 år, men det har hersket voldsom uenighet om hva det betyr, om genren finnes utenfor opphavslandet Tyskland og om den fortsatt skrives i dag. Avhandlingen erstatter mer tradisjonelle genredefinisjoner med The Bildungsroman Index (BRI), som består av 96 typiske trekk. ... -
Christa Wolfs "Was bleibt" : Kontext – Paratext – Text
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2008-06-04)Christa Wolfs "Was bleibt" (i svensk oversettelse 1991 under tittelen "Vad blir kvar") står i sentrum av denne avhandlingen som undersøker dens kontekst, paratekst og tekst.

Concrete Matters: Towards an Archaeology of Things
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2013-11-01)The thesis is both part of and a critical response to the turn to things or the “new materialisms” developing within the humanities and social sciences during the last two decades.

(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2008-06-17)This dissertation examines processes that induce conflict and order in the maritime areas adjacent to the Svalbard archipelago, where Norway’s sovereign rights as coastal state are contested.

Constraining Operations : A Phase-based Account of Improper Movement and Anaphoric Binding
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2011-09-15)The goal of this dissertation is to offer a novel way of relating locality restrictions on movement and binding dependencies to a common set of syntactic factors. The starting point is the long noted observation that movement operations must apply in a particular order to yield a licit result (Chomsky 1973). The question of how the restrictions on ordering of movement operations might be derived in ... -
Constructing Perfectivity in Russian
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2007-04-16)The thesis deals with one particular way of deriving perfective verbs in Russian, namely, prefixation. Prefixes are interesting not only because they turn imperfective verbs into perfectives, but also because they reveal dependencies between two different types of predicational structure, on the one hand, and the connection of event quantification with the event and argument shape, on the ...
