    • Å ikke snakke om det. En studie av selvpresentasjon, inntrykkskontroll og avoidance som strategi i Nord-Irland. 

      Stenberg, Michael Sverdrup (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-05-16)
      Denne avhandlingen handler om hvordan personer som ikke ønsker å ta del i den sekteriske splittelsen av Nord-Irland, benytter seg av unnvikelsesstrategier for å melde seg ut. Sekterisme har preget samhandlingen mellom de to etniske fellesskapene i Nord-Irland i gjennom århundrer, og legger føringer for hvor man kan bevege seg, hvem man kan omgås med og hva man kan uttale seg om. Mitt fokus er på de ...

    • Ecstatic Pain: manifestations of physical pain in the visions of Julian of Norwich and their implications for imitatio Christi 

      Hambro, Cathinka Dahl (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-05-15)
      This thesis explores the manifestations of bodily pain in two visions received by the late medieval English mystical writer Julian of Norwich (c.1342-1416). During a serious illness in 1373, Julian received a total of sixteen holy visions that she subsequently wrote down in two versions; the so-called ‘Short text’ was written soon after Julian’s recovery, whereas the ‘Long text’ was composed after ...

    • Reconstruction of the bottom current strength of overflow water through the Faeroe-Shetland Channel in relation to climate change during the last 135,000 years 

      Solheim, Martin (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-05-15)
      The focus of this thesis was to reconstruct the bottom current strength around the Faeroe Islands and relate it to the climate variability over the past 35,000 - 135,000 years and the Holocene, using the piston core, JM11-FI-19PC, from the North-eastern shelf of the Faeroe Islands. The core location is ideal for measuring the overflow from the Nordic Seas, as it is strategically placed on top of the ...

    • Late Miocene Ice Rafting in the Iceland Sea. Evidence from coarse fraction analysis of ODP Site 907 

      Dischington, Rebekka (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-05-15)
      A high-resolution sedimentary record from ODP Leg 151 Hole 907A has been investigated with sedimentological and geochemical methods to study the paleoenvironmental evolution of the Iceland Sea over a 1-Myr time interval in the Late Miocene. Climate deterioration characterizes the Neogene period, culminating in a transition to bipolar glaciations in the Late Pliocene (Thiede and Myhre, 1996). Ice ...

    • Measuring Wind Using the Internal Stabilisation System of a Quadrotor Drone 

      Simma, Magdalena (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-05-15)
      This thesis proposes a method of measuring wind using the data logged by the autopilot of a quadrotor drone. The approach is fundamentally different from other attempts found in the literature. Theoretical equations from works on quadrotor control are utilised and supplemented to form the theoretical framework. Static thrust tests provide the necessary parameters for calculating wind estimates. ...

    • Combination of large and small basis sets in electronic structure calculations on large systems 

      Røeggen, Inge Arvid; Gao, Bin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-04)
      Two basis sets-a large and a small one-are associated with each nucleus of the system. Each atom has its own separate one-electron basis comprising the large basis set of the atom in question and the small basis sets for the partner atoms in the complex. The perturbed atoms in molecules and solids model is at core of the approach since it allows for the definition of perturbed atoms in a system. It ...

    • Temporal changes and between-host variation in the intestinal parasite community of Arctic charr in a subarctic lake 

      Kuhn, Jesper A.; Knudsen, Rune; Kristoffersen, Roar; Primicerio, Raul; Amundsen, Per-Arne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-03-16)
      The occurrence of trophically transmitted intestinal parasites in Arctic charr was analyzed from data material collected over two decades from Lake Takvatn, northern Norway. The main objectives were to investigate (i) between-year variation in parasite infracommunity composition, (ii) between-host variation in infracommunity composition, and (iii) possible interspecific interaction between parasites. ...

    • Effects of fish species composition on Diphyllobothrium spp. infections in subarctic brown trout - is three-spined stickleback a key species? 

      Kuhn, Jesper A.; Frainer, André; Knudsen, Rune; Kristoffersen, Roar; Amundsen, Per-Arne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-04-25)
      Subarctic populations of brown trout (Salmo trutta) are often heavily infected with cestodes of the genus Diphyllobothrium, assumedly because of their piscivorous behavior. This study explores possible associations between availability of fish prey and Diphyllobothrium spp. infections in lacustrine trout populations. Trout in i) allopatry (group T); ii) sympatry with Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) ...

    • Trophic ecology of brown trout (Salmo trutta L.) in subarctic lakes 

      Sanchez-Hernandez, Javier; Amundsen, Per-Arne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-04-29)
      In subarctic lake systems, fish species like brown trout are often important predators, and their niche performance is a key characteristic for understanding trophic interactions and food web functioning at upper trophic levels. Here, we studied summer habitat use and stomach contents of brown trout under both allopatric and sympatric conditions in six subarctic lakes to reveal its trophic role, and ...

    • Subaperture analysis of polarimetric SAR data for iceberg detection 

      Akbari, Vahid; Doulgeris, Anthony Paul; Brekke, Camilla (Konferansebidrag; Conference object, 2016-11-03)
      This paper is focused on investigations of the improved detection of icebergs in open water using spectral analysis of polarimetric SAR data. The objectives of this study are to analyze the behavior of ice objects in open water using the sublook cross-correlation magnitude (SCM). It is shown that there is an improvement of iceberg-sea contrast when the SCM is used instead of multilook intensities ...

      Kristjansdottir, Torhildur Fjola; Houlihan Wiberg, Aoife Anne Marie; Andresen, Inger; Georges, Laurent; Heeren, Niko; Good, Clara; Brattebø, Helge (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-01)
      In this study, the objective is to redesign a previous concept for a single-family Zero greenhouse gas Emission Building (ZEB). The concept is redesigned based on comparing greenhouse gas (GHG) emission loads and compensation from different design solutions applied in Norwegian single-family ZEB pilot buildings and selected sensitivity studies. The objective is to see if a previously developed ZEB ...

    • Red cell distribution width and risk of venous thromboembolism 

      Ellingsen, Trygve Sølberg (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2018-06-11)
      Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a collective term for deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. VTE is the third most common cardiovascular disease, causing significant morbidity and mortality. The incidence of VTE has been stable or slightly increasing during the last decades, affecting 1-2 per 1000 individuals each year. Up to half of all VTE patients have no obvious cause of the disease. Thus, ...

    • Hva mutter gjør er alltid viktig. Om å være kvinne og mann i en nordnorsk bygd i 1970-årene 

      Holtedahl, Lisbet (Book; Bok, 1986)
      Denne bog er resultatet af et møde med et nordnorsk bygdesamfund kaldet Veggefjord. Den tager udgangspunkt i hvad folk i bygden, «veggefjordinger», lærte mig om hvordan de ser på sig selv og deres omverden, om deres måder at vurdere på og om deres glæder og sorger. Jeg forsøger at bruge et enkelt socialantropologisk analyseværktøj til at tolke og organisere det jeg lærte, og de data jeg opfattede ...
