    • “Boundless” Russia and what to make of it 

      Rogatchevski, Andrei; Steinholt, Yngvar B. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Spanning more than 17 million square kilometers, the Russian Federation covers an expanse bigger than any other country on Earth, and houses a population of over 144 million people and 170 ethnic groups. Even before considering Russia’s rich and complex history, these facts alone go a long way in explaining why the concept of Russian space and its meaning represent a major challenge not only for the ...

    • Kompetanseinkongruens. Styringsutfordring som følge av mangelfull kompetansestrategi? Kan Forsvarets kompetansestrategi bidra til kompetanseinkongruens? 

      Lyche, Christian; Helseth, Simen (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-10-31)
      I denne oppgaven ser vi nærmere på det strategiske arbeidet Forsvaret gjør med kompetanse, og utviklingen av den. Vi ønsker å se nærmere på om Forsvaret har en kompetansestrategi, eller om det er en tilfeldig satsing på kompetanse. Kompetanseinkongruens handler om at tilfeldig satsing av kompetanse kan bidra til misnøye blant ansatte, ved at man opplever at kompetanse og ansvarsområder ikke lenger ...

    • Påvirkningskrefter for oppslutningen til høyreekstreme partier i Europa. Fører økt innvandring til økt oppslutning for høyreekstreme partier i Europa, eller er det andre faktorer som i større grad påvirker oppslutningen? 

      Utne, Kasper (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-11-15)
      Denne studien baserer seg på tidligere litteratur og teorier på det denne studien karakteriserer som høyreekstreme partier, og om disse partiene får sin oppslutning basert på grunnlag av innvandring, eller om det er andre påvirkningskrefter som gjør at personer stemmer som de gjør. Dette blir analysert gjennom en OLS regresjonsanalyse, som ser på effekten og sammenhengen mellom oppslutning hos ...

      Artikkelen baserer seg på kvalitative forskningsintervjuer med styrere og pedagogiske ledere om hvordan barnehager imøtekommer muslimske foreldres ønsker om tilpasning til islamske spiseforskrifter. Resultatet viser at barnehagen baserer seg på to hovedstrategier i sin tilpasning – enten å servere mat som alle kan spise, eller ulike typer mat der muslimske barn kan spise ett av alternativene. ...

    • Changes in the human transcriptome upon vitamin D supplementation 

      Pasing, Yvonne; Fenton, Christopher Graham; Jorde, Rolf; Paulssen, Ruth H (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-03-19)
      Vitamin D is hydroxylated in the liver and kidneys to its active form, which can bind to the vitamin D receptor (VDR). The VDR is present in a wide variety of different cells types and tissues and acts as a transcription factor. Although activation of the VDR is estimated to regulate expression of up to 5% of the human genome, our study is the first analysing gene expression after supplementation ...

    • Outcomes in pancreas transplantation with exocrine drainage through a duodenoduodenostomy versus duodenojejunostomy 

      Lindahl, Jørn Petter Hanto; Horneland, Rune; Nordheim, Espen; Hartmann, Anders; Aandahl, Einar Martin; Grzyb, Krzysztof; Haugaa, Håkon; Kjøsen, Gisle; Åsberg, Anders; Jenssen, Trond Geir (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017-08-23)
      Until recently, pancreas transplantation has mostly been performed with exocrine drainage via duodenojejunostomy (DJ). Since 2012, DJ was substituted with duodenoduodenostomy (DD) in our hospital, allowing endoscopic access for biopsies. This study assessed safety profiles with DD versus DJ procedures and clinical outcomes with the DD technique in pancreas transplantation. DD patients (n = 117; 62 ...

    • Quaternion guidance and control of quadrotor 

      Andersen, Tom Stian; Kristiansen, Raymond (Konferansebidrag; Conference object, 2017-07-27)
      This paper addresses the problem of trajectory tracking for underactuated quadrotors. A quaternion based guidance law is proposed which feeds into an attitude control system based on a PD+ control law. The desired attitude from the guidance law is defined such that the attitude control system tries to align the position error along the axis of the translational actuator. Simulation results are ...

    • Kenny mediates selective autophagic degradation of the IKK complex to control innate immune responses 

      Tusco, Radu; Jacomin, Anne-Claire; Jain, Ashish; Penman, Bridget S.; Larsen, Kenneth Bowitz; Johansen, Terje; Nezis, Ioannis P. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-11-02)
      Selective autophagy is a catabolic process with which cellular material is specifically targeted for degradation by lysosomes. The function of selective autophagic degradation of self-components in the regulation of innate immunity is still unclear. Here we show that Drosophila Kenny, the homolog of mammalian IKKγ, is a selective autophagy receptor that mediates the degradation of the IκB kinase ...

    • Path-following in three dimensions using quaternions for a fixed-wing UAV 

      Andersen, Tom Stian; Kristiansen, Raymond (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2017-08-08)
      This paper presents a three dimensional guidance strategy for fixed-wing UAVs using quaternions. The algorithm is based on constructing two quaternions, one which makes the UAV fly towards the path and one that makes the UAV follow the path. These two quaternions are then blended together such that the path-following objective is reached. The guidance algorithm is applied to a simple kinematic model ...

      Lakså, Arne (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2017-12)
      Interactive computer based geometry editing is very useful for designers and artists. Our goal has been to develop useful tools for geometry editing in a way that increases the ability for creative design. When we interactively editing geometry, we want to see the change happening gradually and smoothly on the screen. Pre-evaluation is a tool for increasing the speed of the graphics when doing ...

    • Creating political spaces at sea - governmentalisation and governability in Norwegian fisheries 

      Johnsen, Jahn Petter (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-10-30)
      How do technologies of power make the world governable? The understanding of how management techniques create governability remains rather poor. In this article, I analyse how spatial regulation in Norwegian fisheries direct human behaviour towards scientific, political, and administrative objectives. Like other fisheries’ regulations, they contribute to governmentalisation and governability, and ...
