Increased basal melting of the Petermann Ice Shelf is typically attributed to rising ocean temperatures. While subglacial discharge is known to intensify basal melt, the underlying mechanisms and their evolution in a warming climate remain unresolved. Using a 3-D numerical regional ice shelf–ocean model centered on the Petermann Fjord, we identify a regime shift in heat flux efficiency within the ...

We adopted a collaborative research approach involving two tourism scholars, a biologist and a photojournalist to discuss ethnography and sustainability from a posthuman ecofeminist perspective. We focused on ethnography as a potentially fruitful methodology for supporting justice in wildlife tourism. We reviewed the literature on more-than-human methodologies, including emerging studies on animal ...

In this paper we propose a new approach for increasing physical activity (PA) in individuals with intellectual disabilities (IDs), using augmented reality exergames to increase adherence and motivation. The game encourages PA by showing virtual elements through a mobile phone camera. The elements only appeared if the player moved in the real world. The game was specifically designed for people with ...

Avhandlingen redegjør for bankens plikt til å avvise og avvikle kundeforhold i medhold av hvitvaskingsloven. Herunder ses det nærmere på bankens utførelse av de ulike kundetiltakene, med særlig fokus på hva som ligger i kravet til redegjørelsen av midlenes opprinnelse.

I denne masteroppgaven har jeg fokusert på Berlevåg, plassert ytterst mot Barentshavet i Øst-Finnmarks vidstrakte landskap. Med utfordringer som en minkende befolkning og et økende behov for fornybar energi, utforsker oppgaven de lokale og regionale usikkerhetene knyttet til energiomstillingen i regionen. Gjennom anvendelsen av sosiotekniske forestillinger (STF) som teoretisk og analytisk rammeverk, ...

Chronic musculoskeletal pain presents significant challenges for patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems, particularly due to the lack of clear prognosis, diagnosis, and etiological explanations, which increases uncertainty in consultations. This dissertation explores interactions in consultations with this patient group at a specialized rehabilitation clinic in Norway. The goal is to gain ...

The objective of this thesis addresses the challenge of designing a device capable of converting waste heat from metal chimneys or wood-burning fireplaces into usable electrical power. The product aims to be portable, easy to install, and adaptable to various chimney and fireplace configurations. This includes exploring various heat-to-electrical energy conversion technologies, researching existing ...

Bærekraftig utvikling har blitt et dominerende tema i norsk oppdrettsnæring, og blir betraktet som et sentralt aspekt for å løse utfordringer som næringen står overfor. De sentrale utfordringer i oppdrettsnæring er blant annet rømning, forurensing av det ytre miljø, forekomst av lus og fiskehelserelaterte utfordringer. I tillegg til de miljø og fiskevelferdsmessige utfordringer, er det også stadig ...

In the context of persistent wound infections, the delivery of antimicrobial agents is challenging. The bacterium in skin presents several strategies to avoid antimicrobial exposure by hiding inside cells and via the formation of biofilms. Additionally, several virulence strategies facilitate the progression of persistent bacterial infections. Although antibiotics are considered very advanced, they ...

Autophagy is an essential cell mechanism for cell survival, where damaged organelles, misfolded proteins and invading pathogens can be broken down and the materials recycled. This process is dependent on double-membrane structures called autophagosomes engulfing and trafficking the contents to lysosomes for degradation. Proper formation of autophagosomes is therefore important in order to keep the ...
