Analyzing multiple physical factors simultaneously to determine optimal ventilation solutions can be challenging. Furthermore, this type of analysis needs a large case number to be investigated, making the problem’s solution unfeasible. This study tackled these challenges by integrating Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) with the Taguchi method to overcome these issues. Our previous research ...

The warm-up is considered benefcial for increasing body temperature, stimulating the neuromuscular system and overall preparing the athletes for the demands of training sessions and competitions. Even when warm-up–derived benefts are slight and transient, they may still beneft preparedness for subsequent eforts. However, sports training and competition performance are highly afected by contextual ...

Recently, it has been shown that the Spread Spectrum Interferometric Multistatic meteor radar Observing Network radar system located in northern Norway is capable of measuring ionospheric E-region coherent scatter with spatial and temporal resolutions on the order of 1.5 km and 2 s, respectively. Four different events from June and July of 2022 are examined in the present study, where the coherent ...

Individuals with physical and mental disabilities can be stigmatized and perceived in terms of their disabilities in the public domain. This is less pervasive in the private domain, because of the presence of individuating information. We argue that disabilities decrease individuals’ everyday opportunities to receive basic equality-based respect experiences in the public domain and thus makes it ...

Cold seeps release methane (CH₄) from the seafloor to the water column, which fuels microbially mediated aerobic methane oxidation (MOx). Methane-oxidising bacteria (MOB) utilise excess methane, and the MOB biomass serves as a carbon source in the food web. Yet, it remains unclear if and how MOx modifies the composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in cold seeps. We investigated MOx ...

Understanding drivers of mercury (Hg) accumulation in freshwater food webs is vital due to its ability to accumulate in organisms and magnify in food webs to potent levels, potentially impacting wildlife and human health. This is of particular concern in regions where fish serve as an important food source. This study explores drivers of Hg accumulation in European perch (Perca fluviatilis) across ...

Blue mussels (Mytilus spp.) are important ecosystem bioengineers and provide numerous of ecosystem services. They are found worldwide, but face a global population decline for unclear reasons in many regions. A pilot study in the subarctic rocky intertidal shore in Northern Norway revealed an unexpected unimodal pattern in the body size of blue mussels along a vertical transect from low to high ...

This master’s thesis explores more-than-human agencies on the Pacific Ocean. Currently, tourism research is insufficient to address complex sustainability and environmental challenges and needs new narratives to do its part in tackling these issues. The aim of this master’s thesis project was to gain new tourism narratives and to create tourism knowledge through an approach where humans are de-centered ...

Bakgrunn: Det blir stadig flere eldre personer med demens i vårt samfunn og det er behov for å utvikle strategier for å kunne ivareta dem i årene fremover. Livskvalitet er noe som er viktig for alle, og tiltak for å bedre livskvaliteten til hjemmeboende personer med demens, er viktig å sette på agendaen. Jeg ser behovet for å finne ut hvilke tiltak sykepleiere kan sette i verk for å hjelpe denne ...

Sammendrag Bakgrunn: Ifølge nasjonale faglige retningslinjer for helsestasjonstjenesten, skal helsesykepleier blant annet bidra til å forebygge vold. Helsesykepleier skal gi foreldrene råd, undervisning og veiledning tilpasset foreldrenes kunnskap og behov, for å håndtere utfordrende situasjoner med barnet. Språkbarriere kan utfordre dialogen med fremmedspråklige foreldre. Siden 2018 har samtaleverktøyet ...
