    • Å gjenkjenne rasisten i oss selv 

      Giertsen, Merethe (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-11-07)
      Hvis vi hvite ikke gjenkjenner rasisten i oss selv, vil vi gjenkjenne rasismen kun hos noen personer, og ikke som et strukturtrekk, skriver Merethe Giertsen i dette innlegget i vår debatt om hvithet og rasisme.

    • Practical and Ethical Issues in Establishing a Collection of Normal Breast Tissue Biopsies—Part of the NOWAC Post-Genome Cohort 

      Krum-Hansen, Sanda; Olsen, Karina Standahl (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2020)
      For tissue-based studies of breast cancer, getting access to truly normal, well-annotated tissue can be a challenge. To address that need, we collected 368 breast tissue biopsies and buffered blood samples from healthy postmenopausal women. Volunteers were part of the Norwegian Women and Cancer (NOWAC) Postgenome cohort, recruited through the national mammography screening program. The NOWAC normal ...

      Associations between obesity and socio-demographic and behavioral characteristics vary between populations. Exploring such differences should throw light on factors related to obesity. We examined associations between general obesity (GO, defined by body mass index) and abdominal obesity (AO, defined by waist-to-hip ratio) and sex, age, socio-economic characteristics (education, financial ...

    • Problematization of integration in Norwegian policymaking – integration through employment or volunteerism? 

      Stein, Barbara; Fedreheim, Gunn Elin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-04)
      Integration has become a buzzword in debates and discussions on immigration which also reflects upon Norwegian policymaking. In this article, we do a policy analysis of twenty-nine Norwegian governmental documents published between 1973 and 2021 and ask how the understanding of integration has changed during that time. We further ask how integration has been problematized in these documents. Our ...

    • New codend designs to improve the size selectivity of fyke net for narrow-clawed crayfish (Pontastacus leptodactylus) 

      Cilbiz, Mehmet; Aydin, Celalettin; Herrmann, Bent (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-23)
      The narrow-clawed crayfish (Pontastacus leptodactylus) is one of the most ecologically and economically important freshwater species in Turkey. However, the harvest of this species has declined from 7937 t in 1984 to 696 t in 2019. One of primary reasons for this decrease in stock is the use of fishing gears with poor size selectivity. In this study, new codend designs were investigated to improve ...

    • The effect of grid size on catch efficiency and by-catch in the demersal trawl fishery for Norway pout (Trisopterus esmarkii) 

      Brinkhof, Jesse; Grimaldo Vela, Eduardo Enrique; Herrmann, Bent; Pettersen, Hermann (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-05)
      Norway pout (Trisopterus esmarkii) is caught with large trawls with small meshed codends, inevitably causing the fishery to have large by-catch issues. To reduce the amount of by-catch, a rigid sorting grid was made compulsory in 2010. However, there is still a severe by-catch issue, as well as the loss of target species because of the grid. A possible cause might be clogging of the grid, which could ...

    • Parasite–copepod interactions in Svalbard: diversity, host specificity, and seasonal patterns 

      Cleary, Alison Clare; Callesen, Trine A.; Berge, Jørgen; Gabrielsen, Tove M. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-24)
      Copepods of the genera Calanus and Pseudocalanus are important components of Arctic marine ecosystems. Despite the key roles of these zooplankters, little is known about the organisms they interact with most intimately, their parasites and symbionts. We applied metabarcode sequencing to uncover eukaryotic parasites present within these two copepod genera from three areas around the high Arctic ...

    • MY Teaching Philosophy 

      Msomphora, Mbachi Ruth (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      From the beginning of my academic career, teaching has always been one of the important parts of my academic duties, and my teaching philosophies develop over time. I agree with Worley (2001) that there is a difference between effective and great teachers. He argues that while effective teachers are skilled, great teachers have a mission, a teaching impulse, and a vocation to teach. Being a great ...

    • Kunders deling av digitale atferdsdata: Muligheter og begrensninger gjennom blokkjedeteknologien 

      Silkoset, Ragnhild (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Ny teknologi kan potensielt endre maktforholdet for datadeling mellom bedrifter og kunder. Frem til nå har store, internasjonale konsern som Facebook, Amazon og Google gjennom sin teknologi utnyttet kundenes digitale adferdsdata uten at brukerne er bevisste på dette. Vi er nå inne i et skifte hvor ny teknologi gjør det mulig å endre dette maktforholdet. Et eksempel er utviklingen av blokkjedeteknologiens ...
