Space-time dynamics in monitoring neotropical fish communities using eDNA metabarcoding
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-01)The biodiverse Neotropical ecoregion remains insufficiently assessed, poorly managed, and threatened by unregulated human activities. Novel, rapid and cost-effective DNA-based approaches are valuable to improve understanding of the biological communities and for biomonitoring in remote areas. Here, we evaluate the potential of environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding for assessing the structure and ... -
Application of economic tools for informing Atlantic salmon management in Norway. Opportunity cost of protection measures, valuation of ecosystem services and environmental cost-benefit analysis.
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2020-10-23)This thesis explores various aspects of the application of economic analysis to Atlantic salmon management in Norway. The purpose and contributions are twofold. On the one hand, the thesis seeks to improve economic toolbox used to analyse environmental-economic trade-offs. On the other hand, it yields specific conclusions and recommendations for the case of Atlantic salmon management in Norway and ... -
The Sunk Cost Fallacy and Risk-Taking Behaviour. Evidence from a computer game experiment
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-05-31)We examine whether behavioural sunk costs are related to an increased willingness to make risky decisions. Rational agents’ decisions should not be contingent on sunk costs; however, foregoing research suggests that individuals in fact do react to such costs. Few studies have examined behavioural sunk costs and risk-taking with “real stakes”, which is an important topic of research as many ... -
Strategisk kompetanseledelse i Nord-Norge. En kvalitativ studie av to småbedrifter
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-05-29)Sammendrag De menneskelige ressursene blir sett på som viktige i bedriftene, og i mange tilfeller vil de også være de ressursene som er avgjørende for lønnsomhet og vekst. Små bedrifter skiller seg ikke fra store i den sammenheng, men små bedrifter kan ha både muligheter og utfordringer som kan gjøre seg gjeldende i større grad enn de vil gjøre i store organisasjoner. I småbedrifter er gjerne leder ... -
Vil man effektivisere videoannonser i holdningskampanjer om de skreddersys mot mottakerens personlighet?
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-05-28)Regulatory focus theory er en teori som omhandler hvordan vi mennesker motiveres ulikt som følge av at noen av oss er avvergingsfokuserte og andre er avansefokuserte. Avvergingsfokuserte mennesker motiveres til handle slik de må for å unngå en uønsket endesituasjon. Avansefokuserte mennesker er motivert til å handle for å nå en ønsket endesituasjon. Tidligere har det blitt observert at om man ... -
Sepsis Training in Virtual Reality - A Study on Enhanced Learning
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-05-21)Sepsis is a health condition where the bloodstream is bacterial infected, it affects annually 18 million people around the world. Especially does the illness affect individuals with weaker immune systems. Treating sepsis presents some challenges as it requires rapidly detection and correct treatment. Virtual Reality (VR), which is defined as three-dimensional computer science, presents potential ... -
Use and non-use values in an applied bioeconomic model of fisheries and habitat connections
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-07-25)In addition to indirect support to fisheries, marine habitats also provide non-use benefits often overlooked in most bioeconomic models. We expand a dynamic bioeconomic fisheries model where presence of natural habitats reduces fishing cost via aggregation effects and provides non-use benefits. The theoretical model is illustrated with an application to cold-water corals in Norway where two fishing ... -
The Impact of Methane on Microbial Communities at Marine Arctic Gas Hydrate Bearing Sediment
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-24)Cold seeps are characterized by high biomass, which is supported by the microbial oxidation of the available methane by capable microorganisms. The carbon is subsequently transferred to higher trophic levels. South of Svalbard, five geological mounds shaped by the formation of methane gas hydrates, have been recently located. Methane gas seeping activity has been observed on four of them, ... -
Research gaps and trends in the Arctic tundra: a topic-modelling approach
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-18)Climate change is affecting the biodiversity, ecosystem services and the well-being of people that live in the Arctic tundra. Understanding the societal implications and adapting to these changes depend on knowledge produced by multiple disciplines. We analysed peer-reviewed publications to identify the main research themes relating to the Arctic tundra and assessed to what extent current research ... -
Prediction of square mesh panel and codend size selectivity of blue whiting based on fish morphology
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-24)Square mesh panels (SMPs) are selective devices used extensively to supplement codend size selectivity in trawl fisheries. Therefore, predictions of the effect of mesh size in both SMPs and codends on size selectivity are valuable. Here, we established a framework to predict the size selection of blue whiting through different SMPs and diamond mesh codends based on the morphological characteristics ... -
MultiSEPT - Full scale tests of the semicircular spreading gear (SCSG)

Integrating dispersal along freshwater ecosystems into species distribution models
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-29)<i>Aim</i> - Our ability to model species distributions and abundances is a valuable ecological tool in predicting future distributions of species. Effectively incorporating connectivity into these predictions is crucial; however, many connectivity measures utilize metrics which may not have a direct relation to the dispersal capacity of the species they are attempting to model. The identification ... -
Effect of mechanical properties of monofilament twines on the catch efficiency of biodegradable gillnets
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-24)Gillnets made of the biodegradable resin polybutylene succinate co-adipate-co-terephthalate were tested under commercial fishing conditions to compare their fishing performance with that of conventional nylon polyamide (PA) gillnets. Both types of gillnets were made of 0.55 mm Ø monofilaments. However, since the biodegradable nets are weaker than nylon PA nets when using the same monofilament diameter, ... -

(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-06-19)Utredningen ser på hvordan markedsorientering og tjeneste dominant logikk kan gi positiv forbedring av en organisasjons synlighet i markedet. Dette markedet er ikke slik det var for noen år tilbake, da organisasjoner hadde et vareorientert syn hvor markedet skulle påvirkes. Nye teknologiske løsninger endrer verdensbildet raskere enn tidligere. Tjenestedominant logikk er det nyeste innenfor markedsføring. ... -
Festivalledelse - Frihet under ansvar og fokus på nettverksarbeid. En kvalitativ studie av Tromsø Internasjonale Filmfestival og Riddu Riđđu Festivála.
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-05-29)Temaet for denne oppgaven er festivalledelse. Jeg gikk åpent inn i oppgaven med hensikt om å få mer innsikt om festivalledelse. For å kunne få mer innsikt valgte jeg å se på to festivaler: Tromsø Internasjonale Filmfestival og Riddu Riđđu Festivála. Festivalene har eksistert i ca. 30 år, og derfor betraktet jeg de som vellykket. I denne oppgaven har jeg valgt å ha en hovedproblemstilling, samt ... -
Cointegration in the Norwegian Model for Wage Formation. Against the Backdrop of the 2004 EU Expansion and the 2001 Change to Inflation Targeting, Have Wage Levels in the Construction and Wholesale Undersectors Continued to Exhibit a Long-Run Relationship with Wage Levels in the Industry, Public and Private Sectors?
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-05-29)In this thesis, hourly wage rate data spanning 1978-2018 has been collected to investigate if the wage levels in the construction and wholesale sectors follow the wage levels in the industry, public, and private sectors. Against the backdrop of the EU expansion in 2004 and the 2001 implementation of inflation targeting monetary policy, there has been an interest in studying the stability of the ...
