The effect of an experimental decrease in salinity on the viability of the subarctic planktonic foraminifera Neogloboquadrina incompta
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-27)Chemical signatures in the calcite of shells of polar and subpolar planktonic foraminifera have been frequently used to trace and quantify past meltwater discharge events. This approach assumes that the foraminifera can tolerate low salinity under extended periods. To obtain a first experimental constraint on salinity tolerance of Subarctic foraminifera, we carried out a culturing experiment with ... -
"Hva tenker du når du hører ordet lekse?". En kvalitativ studie som gir innsikt i elevers og foresattes erfaringer med lekse, og som vurderer hvilke konsekvenser dette kan ha for vår praktisering.
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-05-30)Formålet med denne masteravhandlingen er å belyse elevers og foresattes erfaringer med lekser i skolen, og gjennom dette forsøke å utvikle en større forståelse for temaet. Ønsket er at funnene i denne oppgaven vil kunne hjelpe oss i vårt arbeid som lærere, da det er et tema vi opplever å ha begrenset kunnskap om. Kan det å få en innsikt i intervjudeltakernes erfaringer og tanker være til hjelp når ... -

(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-05-23)Hensikten med denne studien er å finne ut hvordan ungdommer som avbryter den videregående skole opplever deres situasjon. Det er brukt en hermeneutisk tilnærming til problemstillingen «Hvordan fremstår valget om å avbryte videregående skole, og hva er alternativene for de som velger å gjøre det?». For å finne svar på dette ble masteroppgaven avgrenset til å bruke et kvalitativt forskningsintervju. ... -

The tectonized central peak of the Mjølnir Impact Crater, Barents Sea
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-04)The Mjølnir structure, SW Barents Sea, is one of the best-preserved marine impact craters on Earth. After impact on the paleo-seafloor about 142 Ma ago, this crater experienced an atypical deformation of its central peak, which is now elevated ~435 m above the crater rims. Here, we investigate the effect of far-field tectonic stresses on the central peak uplift based on interpretation of new ... -
Reconstruction of an early Permian, sublacustrine magmatic-hydrothermal system: Mount Carlton epithermal Au-Ag-Cu deposit, northeastern Australia
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-01)The Mt. Carlton Au-Ag-Cu deposit, northern Bowen basin, northeastern Australia, is an uncommon example of a sublacustrine hydrothermal system containing economic high-sulfidation epithermal mineralization. The deposit formed in the early Permian and comprises vein- and hydrothermal breccia-hosted Au-Cu mineralization within a massive rhyodacite porphyry (V2 open pit) and stratabound Ag-barite ... -
Transferring grains from single-grain luminescence discs to SEM specimen stubs
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-11-21)The grain transfer protocol presents a step-by-step guide on how to successfully transfer positioned grains from a single-grain luminescence disc to a scanning electron microscope (SEM) specimen stub and how to transport them between laboratories. Single-grain luminescence analysis allows the determination of luminescence characteristics for individual sand-sized grains. By combining such luminescence ... -
Adamastor – an ocean that never existed?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-08)<p>Existing models of tectonic evolution of the Neoproterozoic orogenic system rimming the shores of the South Atlantic Ocean (the Araçuaí–Ribeira–Congo and Dom Feliciano–Kaoko–Gariep belts) interpret the belts as subduction-related orogens and emphasize the role of the “Adamastor Ocean” in their pre-collisional evolution. A critical problem in such an interpretation is the confined nature of the ... -
Redox fluctuations, trace metal enrichment and phosphogenesis in the ~2.0 Ga Zaonega Formation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-24)The ~2.0 Ga Zaonega Formation (ZF) holds one of the oldest phosphorites in the geologic record, reaching >15% P<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>. Understanding the depositional conditions that enabled sedimentary phosphorus enrichment in this unit will thus help us to interpret the significance of the temporal distribution of phosphorites in Earth’s early history. Here we use an array of major and trace ... -

Medical case reports: Some theoretical and empirical perspectives
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2020-09-18)The medical case report (CR) is one of the oldest medical genres and it is still popular among clinicians. At the end of the 20th century medical journals gave priority to research articles with more advanced study designs. Following the advent of online publishing, a high number of CRs are now being published. We identify the various merits and limitations of the CR genre. Two important merits are ... -

Reduced Arctic sea ice extent during the mid-Pliocene Warm Period concurrent with increased Atlantic-climate regime
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-01)Quantifying the contribution of poleward oceanic heat transport to the Arctic Ocean is important for making future sea ice and climate predictions. To highlight its potential importance in a warmer world, we present a new record of water-mass exchange between the Atlantic and the Arctic Oceans using the authigenic neodymium isotopic composition of marine sediments from the Fram Strait during the ... -
Pre-diagnostic copper and zinc biomarkers and colorectal cancer risk in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition cohort
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed; Preprint; Manuskript, 2017-07-01)Adequate intake of copper and zinc, two essential micronutrients, are important for antioxidant functions. Their imbalance may have implications for development of diseases like colorectal cancer (CRC), where oxidative stress is thought to be etiologically involved. As evidence from prospective epidemiologic studies is lacking, we conducted a case-control study nested within the European Prospective ... -
The influence of herring (Clupea harengus) biomass and distribution on killer whale (Orcinus orca) movements on the Norwegian shelf
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-06-01)Killer whales (Orcinus orca) have a cosmopolitan distribution with a broad diet ranging from fish to marine mammals. Regional populations show local prey specialization and their movements are tightly linked to those of their prey. Norwegian killer whales are known to feed extensively on Norwegian spring spawning (NSS) herring (Clupea harengus). Over the last decade, killer whales have begun to ... -
El perfecto en el español hablado en Galicia. Un estudio gramatical sobre usos y marcadores temporales
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-05-26)This master’s thesis explores the use of the verb tense perfect in the Spanish language spoken in Galicia, in given grammatical contexts. The perfect tense in Galicia is known to be of little use, even though it is a very common verb tense in the standardized Spanish of Spain. In this work we seek to explore the extend of its utilization and find out if there are contexts or situations where the ... -

This study concentrates on the inflection of “voseo” in the subjunctive, examining the use of “voseo” in Argentina and investigating whether various social factors such as gender, age and geographic area influence its use. In conducting this study, a quantitative research ... -
Clinical effect modifiers of antibiotic treatment in patients with chronic low back pain and Modic changes - Secondary analyses of a randomised, placebo-controlled trial (the AIM study)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-13)<i>Background</i> - Randomised trials on antibiotic treatment for patients with chronic low back pain and vertebral endplate changes visible on MRI (Modic changes) have shown mixed results. A possible explanation might be a real treatment effect in subgroups of the study populations. The purpose of the present study was to explore potential clinical effect modifiers of 3-months oral amoxicillin ...
