Diasporic Indigeneity and Storytelling Across Media: A Case Study of Narratives of Early Twentieth Century Sámi Immigrant Women
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2019-05-15)Through a case study of narratives of five Sámi immigrant women from the Norwegian side of Sápmi, the study theorizes migration and subsequent Sámi American subjectivity through the emerging concept of diasporic indigeneity. Familial material culture and artistic and textual production are significant sites of memory and meaning-making; however, intangible cultural continuity foundationally expressed ... -

Som tilnærming til tematikken har jeg stilt følgende spørsmål: Hvordan utvikle materialkunnskaper ... -
Utviklingsmessig språkforstyrrelse i generasjoner. En sammenligning mellom forelder og barn med utviklingsmessig språkforstyrrelse, og hvordan deres vansker arter seg i hverdagslivet.
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-10-30)Denne studien omhandler språkvansker, og bakgrunnen for studiens fokus er egen interesse for temaet, kombinert med det jeg har opplevd som manglende fellesforståelse og ulik bruk av terminologien spesifikke språkvansker/utviklingsmessig språkforstyrrelse. I 2017 presenterte en ekspertgruppe bestående av anerkjente, internasjonale forskere et forslag om at den gamle terminologien spesifikke språkvansker ... -

Tannhelsepersonells erfaringer vedrørende barn med mye karies og foreldrenes tannhelsekunnskap
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-05-19)I Norge har 20 % av barn 80 % av de registrerte kariesangrepene. Forskning viser at foreldres kunnskap, atferd og evne til å forstå helseinformasjon påvirker barnets tannhelse. Vi ville undersøke hvilke erfaringer tannleger/tannpleiere har vedrørende disse barna og deres foreldre. Tanker om hvordan man kan på best mulig måte ivareta disse barnas tannhelse var også av interesse. Hensikten med intervjuet ... -
Samarbeidet mellom hjemmetjenesten og den offentlige tannhelsetjenesten i Troms
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-05-18)Bakgrunn: Personer som mottar hjemmesykepleie har ifølge Lov om tannhelsetjenesten rett til gratis tannbehandling fra den offentlige tannhelsetjenesten (DOT). Samtidig viser tall fra Statistisk sentralbyrå at på landsbasis er det under en fjerdedel som benytter seg av dette tilbudet. Man vet at levealderen har steget jevnt siden 1950-tallet og man forventer at den fremdeles kommer til å stige de ... -

Snus intervention among dental personnel in Norway
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-02-06)Objectives: The aim of our study was to investigate dentists' and dental hygienists' practices concerning snus cessation in the dental clinics, and to map if they have enough knowledge about snus. We also wanted to see if there are differences between dentists and dental hygienists in cessation activity and successfulness, and what methods are used for intervention. Methods: A questionnaire was ... -
Light curing composite -a thermal risk for the pulp?
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-05-19)Introduction and objectives: Light curing has shown to be a risk for the pulp as well as for superficial tissues due to high temperatures. The aim of this study was to evaluate temperature changes in a low viscosity bulk fill composite and the temperature effect on the pulp chamber temperature during light curing using a LED light curing device (LCU). The null hypothesis stated was that the composite ... -
Mechanical properties of bulk fill compared to universal composites.
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-05-16)Objectives: Bulk fill composites are becoming increasingly popular due to claimed facilitated placement and curing. Varying results on the mechanical properties and depth of cure have been reported, however. The aim for the present study was to compare flexural strength, E-modulus, secant modulus, Knoop hardness and depth of cure of bulk fill and universal composite materials, subjected to different ... -

Multi-model comparison of the volcanic sulfate deposition from the 1815 eruption of Mt. Tambora
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-02-15)The eruption of Mt. Tambora in 1815 was the largest volcanic eruption of the past 500 years. The eruption had significant climatic impacts, leading to the 1816 "year without a summer", and remains a valuable event from which to understand the climatic effects of large stratospheric volcanic sulfur dioxide injections. The eruption also resulted in one of the strongest and most easily identifiable ... -
Quad-Polarimetric SAR for Detection and Characterization of Icebergs
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2016)This paper evaluates the performance of fully polarimetric SAR data in iceberg detection and characterization. The study aims to explore the potential of RADARSAT-2 SAR data to detect icebergs and growlers in Svalbard that have broken off from the glaciers nearby. To be able to detect iceberg/growlers in a SAR image, a significant contrast between iceberg and background clutter is required. The ... -
Non-gaussian clustering of SAR images for glacier change detection
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2010-12)Our aim is to use unsupervised, non-Gaussian clustering of Arctic glaciers for post-classification change detection. Firstly, we demonstrate the consistency of non-Gaussian clustering algorithms for Envisat ASAR images by characterizing the expected random error level for different SAR acquisition conditions (such as incidence angle). This allows us to determine whether an observed variation is ... -
Should Clinicians Split or Lump Psychiatric Symptoms? The Structure of Psychopathology in Two Large Pediatric Clinical Samples from England and Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-12-14)It has been suggested that the structure of psychiatric phenomena can be reduced to a few symptom dimensions. These proposals, mainly based on epidemiological samples, may not apply to clinical populations. We tested the structure of psychiatric symptoms across two pediatric clinical samples from England (N=8434) and Norway (N=5866). Confirmatory factor analyses of the parent-reported Strengths ... -
Prospects and challenges of environmental DNA (eDNA) monitoring in freshwater ponds
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-03)Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis is a rapid, non-invasive, cost-efficient biodiversity monitoring tool with enormous potential to inform aquatic conservation and management. Development is ongoing, with strong commercial interest, and new uses are continually being discovered. General applications of eDNA and guidelines for best practice in freshwater systems have been established, but ... -
Design and Biological Evaluation of Antifouling Dihydrostilbene Oxime Hybrids
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-13)By combining the recently reported repelling natural dihydrostilbene scaffold with an oxime moiety found in many marine antifoulants, a library of nine antifouling hybrid compounds was developed and biologically evaluated. The prepared compounds were shown to display a low antifouling effect against marine bacteria but a high potency against the attachment and growth of microalgae down to MIC ...
