This thesis explores the ontological, epistemological, and axiological assumptions held by societal security & safety researchers by utilizing the scoping study methodology to select and rapidly assess relevant literature for inquiry about these assumptions. The relevant literature is analyzed according to a framework consisting of several questions related to the metaphysical notions of the author(s), ...

CHIP-Seq data is critical for identifying the locations where proteins bind to DNA, offering valuable insights into disease molecular mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets. However, identifying regions of protein binding, or peaks, in CHIP-seq data can be challenging due to limitations in peak detection methods. Current computational tools often require manual human inspection using data ...

Formålet med denne masteroppgaven var å forhøre meg med lærere på 5-10.trinn i kvensk kjerneområde om hvilke meninger de hadde rundt det å inkludere kvensk kulturelt innhold i matematikkundervisningen. Jeg ønsket å få innsikt i hvilke fordeler og utfordringer dette kunne medføre, og dermed utformet jeg problemstillingen: - Hva mener lærere i kvenske kjerneområder om å inkludere kvensk ...

<p>Bakgrunn: Formålet med studien var å undersøke hvilke erfaringer førstegangsfedre har til helsesykepleiers tilbud om støtte ved hjemmebesøk. Hensikten var å bidra med økt forståelse for fedrenes behov ved overgangen til farsrollen, og bidra med kunnskaper til hvordan helsesykepleier kan støtte førstegangsfedre i forbindelse med hjemmebesøket. <p>Problemstilling: Hvordan erfarer førstegangsfedre ...

Global population aging trends create an increased need for educated workers in the health domain. At the same time, communal degree programs (i.e., health care and early education [HEE]) show high dropout rates—particularly for men. Extending person-environment fit theory and the lack of fit model, we investigate whether students' (gendered) self-perceptions relate to perceived fit and whether fit ...

Climate change causes disturbances to soil environments. Such disturbances include shifts in vegetation composition and rising temperatures, which can impact the microbial communities involved in soil carbon cycling. In this thesis, my emphasis was centered on two main aspects: the effects of vegetation changes, caused by herbivory, and the effects of temperature changes on the soil organic matter ...

“No Delay?” – Online teaching using low latency technology. Playing music together using low latency technology has been possible for some years now, provided fast and robust digital networks. The accessibility of low latency networks has been limited, and the available software has been complicated to install and use. At the music conservatory in Tromsø, associate professor Geir Davidsen has ...

Specht polynomials classically realize the irreducible representations of the symmetric group. The ideals defined by these polynomials provide a strong connection with the combinatorics of Young tableaux and have been intensively studied by several authors. We initiate similar investigations for the ideals defined by the Specht polynomials associated to the hyperoctahedral group <i>B_n</i>. ...

This dissertation addresses psychological factors that contribute to the underrepresentation of men in communal occupations (i.e., occupations associated with communal traits, e.g., nurse), based on the theoretical perspectives from the developmental theory of occupational aspirations (Gottfredson, 1981) and the model of achievement-related choices (Eccles et al., 1983). The underrepresentation of ...

Marine macroalgae form underwater "blue forests" with several important functions. Hyperspectral imaging from unmanned aerial vehicles provides a rich set of spectral and spatial data that can be used to map the distribution of such macroalgae. Results from a study using 81 annotated hyper-spectral images from the Norwegian coast are presented. A U-net convolutional network was used for classification, ...
