    • Får jeg være med? En studie om muligheter og barrierer ledsagere til personer med utviklingshemming kan møte i sitt arbeid med å fremme kulturdeltakelse 

      Myhre, Hege (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-06-25)
      Mange mennesker med utviklingshemming trenger støtte og tilrettelegging for å kunne delta i fritidsaktiviteter. De har krav på å kunne delta på lik linje som alle andre. Dette er nedfelt i politiske og offentlige dokumenter som NOU, konvensjoner, lover og føringer. Det viser seg derimot at selv om intensjonene i dokumentene er gode, føringene er klare, oppleves virkeligheten annerledes. I denne ...

    • Stability of lipids during wet storage of the marine diatom Porosira glacialis under semi-preserved conditions at 4 and 20 °C 

      Dalheim, Lars; Svenning, Jon Brage; Vasskog, Terje; Eilertsen, Hans Christian; Olsen, Ragnar Ludvig (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-17)
      Cultivation of diatoms may help alleviate the pressure on wild fish stocks for marine nutrient availability in aquaculture feed and for human consumption. However, the lipids in microalgae biomass are easily deteriorated, both trough lipolysis and degradation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). Proper storage conditions are therefore necessary to maintain the lipid quality. Additionally, the ...

    • Indigenous rights, supersession, and moral status equality 

      Reibold, Kerstin (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2020-12-07)
      The adoption of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples was a landmark decision for indigenous rights. UNDRIP promises indigenous peoples the restitution of their land, resource, and political self-determination rights to the greatest extent possible. It aims to ensure that indigenous peoples are treated equal to other peoples. It also means to rectify the past unjust dispossession ...

    • An Early Neogene—Early Quaternary Contourite Drift System on the SW Barents Sea Continental Margin, Norwegian Arctic 

      Rydningen, Tom Arne; Høgseth, Gert; Lasabuda, Amando Putra Ersaid; Laberg, Jan Sverre; Safronova, Polina; Forwick, Matthias (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-30)
      The onset and evolution of the middle to late Cenozoic “icehouse” world was influenced by the development of the global ocean circulation linking the Norwegian–Greenland Sea-Arctic Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean. The evolution of the early Neogene to early Quaternary Bjørnøyrenna Drift, located at the SW Barents Sea continental margin, shed new light on this important hydrological event. By analyzing ...

    • The effect of long-term use on the Catch efficiency of Biodegradable gillnets 

      Grimaldo, Eduardo; Herrmann, Bent; Jacques, Nadine; Kubowicz, Stephan; Cerbule, Kristine; Su, Biao; Larsen, Roger B.; Vollstad, Jørgen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-05)
      The effect of long-term use on the catch efficiency of biodegradable gillnets was investigated during commercial fishing trials and in controlled lab aging tests. The relative catch efficiency between biodegradable and nylon gillnets was evaluated over three consecutive fishing seasons for Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in Norway. The biodegradable gillnets progressively lost catch efficiency over time, ...

    • Troppssjefers legitimitet: Påvirket av en strukturell endring? En kvalitativ studie av troppssjefers legitimitet i forbindelse med implementering av ny personellstruktur i Forsvaret

Arachidonic acid is the cascade of LXA4 and its derivatives. These compounds belong to the biological active eicosanoids, ...

    • Adopteringen det ikke ble noe av. En analyse av bakgrunnen for at noen regioner valgte å ikke adoptere Flexible Assertive Community Treatment (FACT-modellen) 

      Holth, Linnéa Lund (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-09-01)
      Denne masteravhandlingen omhandler FACT- modellen som er en samhandlingsmodell innenfor rus- og psykiatrifeltet. Kjerneområdene i modellen er fleksibel oppfølging og bistand der du er. Modellen har sitt opphav i USA, nærmere bestemt fra ACT-modellen. Denne modellen har blitt videreutviklet og tilpasset i Nederland, og ble her til FACT-modellen. Modellen skal være et tilbud til de brukerne som er ...

    • Onisimus turgidus (Sars, 1879) (Amphipoda, Uristidae), an overlooked amphipod from sea anemones in Northern Norway 

      Vader, Wim; Johnsen, Jan Roger; Tandberg, Anne Helene S. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-18)
      Two Norwegian uristid amphipods, obligate associates of sea anemones, have for a long time been confused sub nomine <i>Onisimus normani</i> Sars, 1890. In reality this species only occurs in south Norway, while the north-Norwegian material belongs to <i>O. turgidus</i> (Sars, 1879), described from the Barents Sea and for a long time forgotten. This paper fully illustrates both species, gives a key, ...

      Helland-Hansen, William; Grundvåg, Sten-Andreas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-12)
      A synthesis has been undertaken based on regionally compiled data from the post early Eocene foreland basin succession of Svalbard. The aim has been to generate an updated depositional model and link this to controlling factors. The more than kilometer thick progradational succession includes the offshore shales of the Gilsonryggen Member of the Frysjaodden Formation, the shallow marine sandstones ...

    • Institutional and financial entry barriers in a fishery 

      Bertheussen, Bernt Arne; Dreyer, Bent; Hermansen, Øystein; Isaksen, John Roald (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-18)
      Fishery policies over the past decades have mainly aimed at capacity reduction to preserve overexploited stocks. For that reason, research has focused on exploring incentives to exit fisheries rather than examining entry barriers. However, in quota-regulated fisheries, potential entrants might face substantial institutional and financial barriers, as opposed to incumbents, whose rights might have ...

    • Discovering key interactions. How student interactions relate to progress in mathematical generalization 

      Varhol, Astrid; Drageset, Ove Gunnar; Hansen, Monica Nymoen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-02-04)
      This article presents a study of 8th grade students working in groups to solve a task about generalizing patterns. The study aimed to openly explore how progress in mathematical thinking might relate to the discourse. To do this, we first studied both separately. The progress in mathematical thinking was studied by inspecting how the groups progressed through different levels of generalization. The ...

    • Class IV lasso peptides synergistically induce proliferation of cancer cells and sensitize them to doxorubicin 

      Felipe Guerrero-Garzón, Jaime; Madland, Eva; Zehl, Martin; Singh, Madhurendra; Rezaei, Shiva; Aachmann, Finn Lillelund; Courtade, Gaston; Urban, Ernst; Rückert, Christian; Busche, Tobias; Kalinowski, Jörn; Cao, Yan-Ru; Jiang, Yi; Jiang, Cheng-lin; Selivanova, Galina; Zotchev, Sergey (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-10)
      Heterologous expression of a biosynthesis gene cluster from <i>Amycolatopsis</i> sp. resulted in the discovery of two unique class IV lasso peptides, felipeptins A1 and A2. A mixture of felipeptins stimulated proliferation of cancer cells, while having no such effect on the normal cells. Detailed investigation revealed, that pre-treatment of cancer cells with a mixture of felipeptins resulted in ...

    • Rådmannsavganger med sluttpakker i små norske kommuner 2014 – 2018. En studie av ledelsesutfordringer i små norske kommuner 

      Gaino, Anne-Marie (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-05-29)
      Kommuner er politisk styrte organisasjoner og forutsetningen for en velfungerende kommune er at samhandlingen mellom politikk og administrasjon fungerer godt. Dessverre har utviklingen i rådmannsavganger økt drastisk de senere årene. Ca. 80 rådmenn slutter årlig i norske kommuner og rundt 25-35% av disse går av med sluttpakke. Denne masteroppgaven er en studie av ledelsesutfordringer i små norske ...

    • Digitalisering av kraftbransjen - mellomledernes erfaringer 

      Brattfjord, Lene Charlotte; Teigland, Linda Cecilie (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-05-28)
      Kraftbransjen står overfor store omstillinger i årene som kommer, med bakgrunn i digitaliseringen og elektrifiseringen som råder i Norge i dag. Økende etterspørsel etter ladestasjoner, samt etablering av industri i grisgrendte strøk krever tilgang til både strøm og nok kapasitet. For å møte etterspørselen som strømnettselskapene er pliktig til å levere, krever det store investeringer i strømnettet ...
