The use of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships is expected to become more prevalent in the near future. However, the legal order for these vessels is currently unclear. This thesis explores the issues related to enforcement of coastal State and flag State jurisdiction on MASS. This is done in relation to the territorial sea and the regime of innocent passage, with the legal basis being the United ...

Avhandlingen vurderer om gjeldende regelverk for bevissikring utenfor rettssak er i tråd med Grl. § 102 og EMK art. 8.

Oppgavens tema er skjult personforfølgelse/skjult stalking. Skjult stalking kalles også rovstalking. Det som kjennetegner rovstalkeren er at den vanligvis forfølger en annen i det skjulte hvor målet er å planlegge voldsutøvelse eller seksuelle overgrep mot offeret. Denne type stalking er ikke straffbar etter norsk rett, noe som kan være problematisk sett hen til at Norge har forpliktet seg til å ...

We would like to start by saying that this is a very interesting paper that outlines a powerful tool that can be applied in a wide range of areas. In our discussion, we focus on how the novel approach potentially can improve classification results in hard tasks within e.g., medicine and geoscience. In such situations, where it is hard to make precise predictions, it is natural to acquire information ...

Climate change is increasingly being coupled to extreme weather and climate events, with an observed increase in intensity and occurrence of climate-related events. Norway is no exception. Though generally considered quite resilient to climate risk, with favorable conditions for adapting on a national level, studies point to regional and local differences. Applying a mixed methods approach we ...

The framework plan for kindergartens in Norway emphasizes knowledge of Indigenous Sámi culture among the core values of pedagogical practice. Preservice students in early childhood teacher education (ECTE) are thus obliged to learn about Sámi culture. We explored and developed collaborative teaching interventions for Sámi topics. We aimed to “braid” Sámi diversity into our teaching and make the ...

Forestalling the decline of global biodiversity requires urgent and transformative action at all levels of government and society, particularly in the Arctic Ocean and adjacent seas where rapid changes are already underway. Amid growing scientific support and mounting pressure, the majority of nations have committed to the most ambitious conservation targets yet. However, without an approach ...

Formation of biofilms is an important adaptive strategy that bacteria employ to endure challenging conditions. This thesis delves into the evolution of the pathogen <i>Vibrio cholerae</i> in biofilms with a focus on biofilm adaptation, c-di-GMP signaling and β-lactamase evolution. Paper 1 improved upon the genome of <i>V. cholerae</i> C6706 and linked every open reading frame to the current reference ...

BACKGROUND: The lack of standardized reporting for crucial organizational factors in rehabilitation poses a significant barrier to understanding their impact on patient outcomes in clinical trials and meta-analyses. AIM: Based on the categories in the International Classification of Service Organization in Rehabilitation (ICSO-R 2.0), we aimed to develop reporting standards specifically for ...

In our study, we explored how two high-performing mathematics students gained insight while working on ill-structured problems. We followed their problem-solving process through taskbased interviews and observed a similar sequence of insights in both participants’ work- (1) Spontaneous insight, (2) Passive gradual insight, (3) Sudden insight, and (4) Active gradual insight. An impasse occurred ...
