The advective origin of an under-ice spring bloom in the Arctic Ocean using multiple observational platforms
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-02-13)Under-ice blooms of phytoplankton in the Chukchi Sea have been observed, with strong implications for our understanding of the production regimes in the Arctic Ocean. Using a combination of satellite remote sensing of phytoplankton biomass, in situ observations under sea ice from an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), and in vivo photophysiology, we examined the composition, magnitude and origin ... -
Estimation of acoustic indices with CVs for cod and haddock in the Barents Sea winter survey 1994 – 2017 applying the Sea2Data StoX software
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2018)<i>English</i>: The Sea2Data software StoX was applied to estimate acoustic indices with CVs for Northeast Arctic cod and haddock from the Barents Sea winter survey in 1994 to 2017. The indices are compared to indices previously estimated by the BEAM software. In most years the StoX indices for cod are quite similar to those obtained by BEAM, while they are somewhat higher for haddock. The largest ... -

Torsk fra merd: Pre-rigor produksjon av loins med skinn
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2009-03)I dette forsøket ble torsk fanget levende og lagret i merd hvor den ble fôret med hhv. lodde og kommersielt torskefôr i 3 måneder. Etter skånsom slakting og utblødning i 30 minutter, ble fisken sløyd og de biologiske data registrert før maskinell filetering enten pre-rigor (innen 2 timer etter død) og post-rigor (etter 4 dagers is-lagring av sløyd fisk). Det ble produsert ryggfileter (Loins) enten ... -
Risk assessment on import of Australian redclaw crayfish to Norway. Opinion of the Panel on Animal Health and Welfare of the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food Safety
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2016-11-30)<i>Main message</i>: It seems unlikely that the Australian red claw clayfish will establish reproductive populations under Norwegian climate conditions, but hitchhiker organisms and infectious agents could potentially follow the import, and unless managed, may pose risks to biodiversity and aquatic animal health. This is the conclusion in a risk assessment from the Norwegian Scientific Committee for ... -
Bakterievekst under naturtørking av tørrfisk: Sammenligning av normal- og mucosovev
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2008-04)Mikroorganismer antas å påvirke utviklingen av lukt og smak i tørrfisk, men det er lite er kjent om hvilke organismer som dominerer under tørkeprosessen. Samtidig er mikrobielle forhold er også antatt å være essensielle for utviklingen av mucoso, som er en kvalitetsfeil i tørrfisk der deler av fiskemuskelen blir oppløst og slimaktig. Slike partier må skjæres bort under bløtingsprosessen. Denne ... -
On the resistance of epiphytic cyanobacteria of the Kola Bay to the effects of oil hydrocarbons in the aquatic ecosystem
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018)The epiphytic communities of cyanobacteria of Fucus vesiculosus L. of the Kola Bay are able to bear the high amounts of the oil products in the environment. The results of studying the resistance of epiphytic cyanobacterial communities to oil pollution using both classical (cultural) and molecular-genetic methods of microbiological analysis have been presented. The objects of the study are the ... -
Digitalisering og robotisering i NAV - hvordan oppleves prosessene?
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-06-01)Undersøkelsen ble foretatt i en økonomienhet i NAV. Regjeringen belyser gjennom Stortingsmeldinger hva som forventes i samfunnet og legger dermed føringer for arbeids- og velferdspolitikken. NAV sine tjenester må respondere på samfunnsutviklingen, og digitaliseringen som skjer i samfunnet berører medarbeidere internt i organisasjoner. Funnene fra undersøkelsen viser at informantene opplever ... -

Gruppens anbefalinger er at styrene i ... -
Ledererfaring før lederutdanning - hva gir best resultat? En sammenligning av offiserer med og uten ledererfaring før utdanningen på Krigsskolen
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-12-01)Vi har i denne studien sammenlignet to ulike grupper offiserer som har fullført utdanningen på Krigsskolen (KS). Det ene gruppen har gjennomført utdanningsløpet hvor de har ledererfaring fra avdeling før skolestart, mens den andre ikke har det. I oppgaven kalles disse vanlig KS og KS Gjennomgående. Vi ønsket å se hvilken gruppe offiserer som scoret best på prestasjoner de gjorde før, underveis og ... -

Plant functional trait change across a warming tundra biome
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-26)The tundra is warming more rapidly than any other biome on Earth, and the potential ramifications are far-reaching because of global feedback effects between vegetation and climate. A better understanding of how environmental factors shape plant structure and function is crucial for predicting the consequences of environmental change for ecosystem functioning. Here we explore the biome-wide relationships ... -
Understanding researchers’ intention and habit regarding publishing in open access journals
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2018-12-13)Scholarly publishing is the vessel for the dissemination of research articles. Contemporary scholarly publishing is achieved by two main models, open access (OA) and non-open access (non-OA). OA refers to articles that are available at no cost to the end-user; however, authors may incur a fee for accepted manuscripts. Non-OA articles are available at a cost, either via subscriptions or via individual ... -
Food-web structure varies along environmental gradients in a high-latitude marine ecosystem
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-05-17)Large-scale patterns in species diversity and community composition are associated with environmental gradients, but the implications of these patterns for food-web structure are still unclear. Here, we investigated how spatial patterns in food-web structure are associated with environmental gradients in the Barents Sea, a highly productive shelf sea of the Arctic Ocean. We compared food webs ... -
Northern cod species face spawning habitat losses if global warming exceeds 1.5°C
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-28)Rapid climate change in the Northeast Atlantic and Arctic poses a threat to some of the world’s largest fish populations. Impacts of warming and acidification may become accessible through mechanism-based risk assessments and projections of future habitat suitability. We show that ocean acidification causes a narrowing of embryonic thermal ranges, which identifies the suitability of spawning ... -

Ballasting by cryogenic gypsum enhances carbon export in a Phaeocystis under-ice bloom
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-05-16)Mineral ballasting enhances carbon export from the surface to the deep ocean; however, little is known about the role of this process in the ice-covered Arctic Ocean. Here, we propose gypsum ballasting as a new mechanism that likely facilitated enhanced vertical carbon export from an under-ice phytoplankton bloom dominated by the haptophyte Phaeocystis. In the spring 2015 abundant gypsum crystals ...
