      Dybdahl, Ellen; Melkild, Irina (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-05-26)
      Selv om det i ledelse- og entreprenørskapslitteraturen blir lagt vekt på hvor viktig ledelse er i startups for å overkomme de utfordringer og endringer som følger med vekst, finnes det få teoretiske og empiriske studier som sier noe om hvordan gründeren kan utøve ledelse for å håndtere utfordringene og lykkes med veksten (Renko, Tarabishy, Carsrud & Brännback, 2012). Sett i et samfunnsøkonomisk ...

      Christoffersen, Helle Ovedie (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-05-15)
      Sarah Kane’s play Cleansed created headlines in 1995 due to its violent and shocking content. While the theme of love has been acknowledged in the discourse on the play since its original staging, the emphasis has been on the grotesque nature of the play. This thesis aims to bring attention the theme of love in Cleansed and argues that the violence is merely a tool in amplifying the experience of ...
    • Aptitude in the Classroom: an empirical study of the pedagogical functionality of the LLAMA test battery in an upper secondary school 

      Larsen, Morten Skillingstad (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-05-15)
      This thesis explores the suitability of using aptitude testing and the LLAMA aptitude tests in a Norwegian upper secondary school class, and the potential pedagogical advantages such testing can have. Aptitude testing entails measuring language learners’ specific talent for learning foreign languages and this is an individual difference that exhibits considerable variation between learners (Dörnyei ...

    • Reciprocal transactivation of Merkel cell polyomavirus and high-risk human papillomavirus promoter activities and increased expression of their oncoproteins 

      Rasheed, Kashif; Sveinbjørnsson, Baldur; Moens, Ugo (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-03)
      <i>Background</i> - Approximately 15% of human cancers are attributed to viruses. Numerous studies have shown that high-risk human polyomaviruses (HR-HPV) and Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) are two human tumor viruses associated with anogenetal and oropharyngeal cancers, and with Merkel cell carcinoma, respectively. MCPyV has been found in HR-HPV positive anogenetal and oropharyngeal tumors, ...

      Given the higher suicide rates among the adult population in the northernmost part of Norway and some unfavourable psychosocial outcomes associated with the Laestadian revival movement in this region, it is reasonable to investigate the relationship between religiosity/spirituality and suicidal behaviour in this context. This study used cross-sectional data from the population-based SAMINOR 2 ...

      Lusher, Amy; Hurley, Rachel; Arp, Hans Peter H; Booth, Andy; Bråte, Inger Lise Nerland; Gabrielsen, Geir W.; Gomiero, Alessio; Gomes, Tania; Grøsvik, Bjørn Einar; Green, Norman; Haave, Marte; Hallanger, Ingeborg G.; Halsband, Claudia; Herzke, Dorte; Joner, Erik J; Kögel, Tanja; Rakkestad, Kirsten; Ranneklev, Sissel Brit; Wagner, Martin; Olsen, Marianne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-03)
      Given the increasing attention on the occurrence of microplastics in the environment, and the potential envi-ronmental threats they pose, there is a need for researchers to move quickly from basic understanding to applied science that supports decision makers in finding feasible mitigation measures and solutions. At the same time, they must provide sufficient, accurate and clear information to the ...
    • Access to, use, knowledge, and preferences for information technology and technical equipment among people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Sweden. A cross-sectional survey study

      <i>Background</i> - The use of information technology can make pulmonary rehabilitation interventions in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) more flexible and thereby has the potential to reach a larger proportion of the population. However, the success of using information technology in pulmonary rehabilitation is dependent on the end-user’s competence in information technology ...
    • Effects of mooring line breakage on dynamic responses of grid moored fish farms under pure current conditions 

      Cheng, Hui; Li, Lin; Ong, Muk Chen; Aarsæther, Karl Gunnar; Sim, Jaesub (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-17)
      Due to the lack of sheltered area, Norwegian fish farms are expanding to more exposed and remote sites. The severe environmental conditions in exposed sites can increase the risk of structural failure during aquaculture operations. In the present study, the program FhSim is employed to conduct time-domain simulations to investigate structural responses of a single-cage and 1 × 4 multi-cage fish farm ...

    • Deglacial bottom water warming intensified Arctic methane seepage in the NW Barents Sea 

      El Bani Altuna, Naima; Rasmussen, Tine Lander; Ezat, Mohamed; Vadakkepuliyambatta, Sunil; Groeneveld, Jeroen; Greaves, Mervyn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-09)
      Changes in the Arctic climate-ocean system can rapidly impact carbon cycling and cryosphere. Methane release from the seafloor has been widespread in the Barents Sea since the last deglaciation, being closely linked to changes in pressure and bottom water temperature. Here, we present a post-glacial bottom water temperature record (18,000–0 years before present) based on Mg/Ca in benthic foraminifera ...
    • Risk and uncertainty in team decision-making - Case study in an Arctic context 

      Hoel, Marte Raknerud (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-05-28)

This case study aimed to gain an understanding of how risk and uncertainty influence team decision-making processes in hazard environments in the Arctic. To collect data, nine interviews from fishing vessels operating in the Barents Sea, as well as search and rescue crew ...
    • Fatigue og arbeidstidsordning blant piloter 

      Lokøy, Aina (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-05-31)
      I en stadig mer globalisert verden har luftfart fått en sentral rolle. De siste års utvikling, der piloter jobber stadig mer med dårligere arbeidsvilkår enn tidligere, er en trussel mot flysikkerheten. Fatigue er en av de ulykkesårsakene som er enklest å forebygge. Nasjonal Transportplan fra 2021 har pekt på psykisk helse og fatigue for flygere som viktige fokusområder fremover (Meld. St. 20 (2020 ...
