    • Newly-formed sea ice distinction near the oil platform Prirazlomnaya in the Pechora Sea using polarimetric Radarsat-2 SAR observations 

      Ivonin, Dmitry; Ivanov, Andrey; Johansson, Malin; Brekke, Camilla (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-01)
      A polarimetric approach developed to discriminate oil slicks and look-alikes was used to study the polarimetric properties of newly-formed ice (NFI) observed near the Prirazlomnaya oil platform. This approach is based on the multipolarization parameter called Resonant to Non-resonant signal Damping (RND), which is related to the ratio between the ice damping and the short wind waves and wave breakings. ...

    • Suggesting an Extensive Interpretation of the Concept of Novelty That Looks at the Bio-Cultural Dimension of Food 

      Poto, Margherita Paola; Morel, Mathilde (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-30)
      “Novel food” in the European Union’s (EU) legal terms refers to any food that was not used for human consumption to a significant degree within the EU before 15 May 1997 (Regulation 2015/2283/EU (2015)). Placing novel food on the market requires a safety assessment when such novelty is ascertained, with the consequent need of an authorization procedure that is not required for food traditionally ...

    • Effects of outplanting time on growth, shedding and quality of Saccharina latissima (Phaeophyceae) in its northern distribution range 

      Matsson, Böris Sanna Christina A; Metaxas, Anna; Forbord, Silje; Kristiansen, Svein; Handå, Aleksander; Bluhm, Bodil (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-30)
      To reach the goal of large-scale seaweed cultivation in Norway and the rest of Europe, new knowledge about the commercially important kelp species <i>Saccharina latissima</i> is needed. Efforts to maximise biomass by outplanting the seaweed in different seasons can affect seaweed quality. Here, we investigate the effects of outplanting time (February, April, and May) when cultivating <i>S. latissima</i> ...

    • Molecular profiling of the liver sinusoidal endothelial cell – a multi-omics approach 

      Bhandari, Sabin (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2021-08-20)
      The endothelium is the innermost cell layer of blood vessels and has a key role in maintaining vascular homeostasis. Beside the general role to prevent blood coagulation and regulate blood flow, endothelial cells of different vascular beds show tissue specific specializations. This thesis focuses on a unique endothelial cell with immune-like properties, namely the liver sinusoidal endothelial cell ...

    • Prepositions with CP and their implications for extended projections 

      Svenonius, Peter (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-08)
      In some limited cases, English allows a particular preposition to combine with a certain kind of subordinate clause, as exemplified by <i>in that</i> in “I take the proposal seriously, in that I loathe it”. In contrast, Norwegian systematically allows prepositions to combine with subordinate clauses (as in <i>Det resulterte i at vi vant</i>, literally “It resulted in that we won”). I argue that the ...

    • Resilience Assessment of Wind Farms in the Arctic with the Application of Bayesian Networks 

      Mustafa, Albara; Barabadi, Abbas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-22)
      Infrastructure systems, such as wind farms, are prone to various human-induced and natural disruptions such as extreme weather conditions. There is growing concern among decision makers about the ability of wind farms to withstand and regain their performance when facing disruptions, in terms of resilience-enhanced strategies. This paper proposes a probabilistic model to calculate the resilience of ...

    • Flow in Physical Activity and Exercise: Exploring the Relevance of Mindfulness and Exertion 

      Karlsen, Karoline (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-05-14)
      Experiencing flow in physical activity is associated with intrinsic motivation and has proven to be a highly rewarding state of mind (Csikszentmihalyi, 2008). Facilitating flow experiences among regular exercisers can be beneficial in terms of promoting long-term physical activity engagement. In a longitudinal study we explored possible factors predicting flow experiences in exercisers by measuring ...

      Høgsdal, Helene (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-05-17)
      Is it possible to influence people´s willingness to donate money? In two experiments we investigated whether participant´s (N = 417) willingness to donate money to a charitable cause could be influenced by mental representations and social distance towards the donation target. In both experiments we manipulated the perceived social distance towards the donation target, and the construal level of the ...

    • Multi-mission remote sensing of low concentration produced water slicks 

      Johansson, Malin; Skrunes, Stine; Brekke, Camilla; Isaksen, Hugo (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2021-04)
      Produced water is legally released from oil platforms and often detected by oil spill detection services despite their low oil concentrations. Using fully-polarimetric RADARSAT-2 and dual-polarimetric Sentinel-1 data we investigate their synthetic aperture radar (SAR) characteristics. Detectability ranges within the SAR and optical Sentinel-2 and PlanetScope images are assessed and compared to in-situ ...

    • Escalation in asymmetrical relations. A rational strategy for weak states? 

      Solvang, Øystein (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-05-18)
      It is a prevalent view in International Relations scholarship that in conflicts the most powerful party generally prevails. It would follow that weak party escalation usually is an irrational course of action, and therefore should not be attempted. Nonetheless, comparably weak states from time to time escalate confrontations with vastly stronger adversaries, and benefit from it. This paradox is not ...
