En kvalitativ studie om frafall i junioralder blant jentelangrennsutøvere. Studien belyser hvorfor prestasjonspress kan være årsak til frafall, samt hvilke andre forhold som kan bidra til at jentene frafaller langrennsidretten i junioralder
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-06-01)I denne masteroppgaven retter jeg fokus på prestasjonspresset blant jente-skiløpere i junioralder, og undersøker om prestasjonspresset virker fremmende eller hemmende for videre skikarriere. Hva som fører til så stort frafall i juniorårene spesielt for jente-skiløpere, er temaet jeg skal forske på i denne oppgaven. Det er forsket forholdsvis lite på frafall i junioralderen innen langrennsidretten, ... -

One of the significant challenges in the waste facilities is the fire that occurs regularly and causes various problems for the waste management companies. Several causes can ... -
MarSpray LiDAR (MSL) for the comprehensive measurement of Sea Spray for Improving the Prediction of Marine Icing in Cold Conditions
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-06-01)Marine icing is a very complicated phenomenon, and its prediction, evaluation, and estimation involve many uncertainties. Commonly, the most severe ice accretion is caused by sea spray. A substantial amount of study is present on sea spray ice accretion about modelling and numerical simulations with certain assumptions and not based on comprehensive real-time data. The past techniques used to measure ... -

Implementation and Control of an Inverted Pendulum on a Cart
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-05-28)An Inverted Pendulum on a Cart is a common system often used as a benchmark problem for control systems. The system consists of a cart that can move in one direction on the horizontal plane and a pendulum attached to the cart through a hinge point. The pendulum can rotate 360° on the plane made up of the vertical direction and the direction the cart can move. The system is controlled by applying a ... -
Identity, stability, Hybrid Threats and Disinformation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-01)The following article examines the relevance of gender and intersectional analyses to better understanding hybrid threats, in particular those that are increasingly targeting civilian environments. The authors first present relevant concepts including hybrid threats and warfare, resilience, disinformation, civilian agency, and intersectionality as a method. Thereafter they discuss how disinformation ... -
Evaluation of Merkel Cell Polyomavirus DNA in Tissue Samples from italian Patients With Diagnosis of MCC
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-05)Because the incidence of Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) has increased significantly during the last 10 years and it is recognized that Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) and ultraviolet (UV) radiation represent two different etiological inputs sharing clinical, histopathological, and prognostic similar features, although with different prognosis, this study investigated the detection of MCPyV in skin and ... -
Clinical reasoning in traditional medicine exemplified by the clinical encounter of Korean medicine: a narrative review
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-11)Background - Clinical reasoning is generally defined as a way of thinking about diagnostic or therapeutic decision making in clinical practice. Different cognitive models have been proposed for the clinical reasoning process which takes place during the clinical encounter with a patient. This may have similarities with similar approaches used in Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM). Jinchal, the clinical ... -
Intentions to Consume Sustainably Produced Fish: The Moderator Effects of Involvement and Environmental Awareness
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-18)The purpose of this study is to apply the conceptual framework of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to explain the consumption of sustainable produced fish in Sweden. We seek to understand the moderating role of food product involvement and environmental awareness as extensions of traditional constructs such as attitudes, social norms, and perceived behavioral control. The data were derived from ... -

"Hvem pokker gider bli spiritist": Arne Garborgs möte med spiritismen
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-03)Artikeln utgör en idéhistorisk undersökning av Arne Garborgs intresse för spiritismen under 1890-talets första hälft. Artikeln argumenterar för att Garborg anlägger samma förhållningssätt till spiritismen som den samtida parapsykologin i det att han söker ge en naturlig förklaring till de fenomen som rapporteras från spiritistiska seanser. Garborgs uppmärksammande av spiritismen sätts vidare i ... -
A Continuous Seismostratigraphic Framework for the Western Svalbard-Barents Sea Margin Over the Last 2.7 Ma: Implications for the Late Cenozoic Glacial History of the Svalbard-Barents Sea Ice Sheet
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-14)Here we present a high-resolution, continuous seismostratigraphic framework that for the first time, connects the over 1,000 km long western Svalbard-Barents Sea margin and covers the last ∼2.7 million years (Ma). By exploiting recent improvements in chronology, we establish a set of reliable age fix-points from available boreholes along the margin. We then use a large 2-D seismic database to extend ... -

Vicariance followed by secondary gene flow in a young gazelle species complex
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-23)Grant's gazelles have recently been proposed to be a species complex comprising three highly divergent mtDNA lineages (<i>Nanger granti, N. notata</i> and <i>N. petersii</i>). The three lineages have nonoverlapping distributions in East Africa, but without any obvious geographical divisions, making them an interesting model for studying the early-stage evolutionary dynamics of allopatric speciation ... -
