How exchange rate affects Chinese processing trade? The case of ground fish
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-09-25)As imports destined for primary processing and then exporting occur across industries, in this study we developed a structural model to examine how exchange rate affects the exports of processed ground fish from China. The home demand for processed goods is incorporated into the model in accordance with the fact that the share of processed goods remaining in China tends to increase over time. ... -
Hvorfor ethvert samfunn trenger filosofi
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017)Discussing three issues that are central to philosophical thinking, the article argues that each and every society requires the kind of reflection that philosophy entails. The first issue concerns the claim that we have to give reasons for our assertions, the second addresses the idea and significance of truth, and a third pivotal philosophical question deals with the importance of acknowledging ... -
The Use of Observational Technology to Study In-Store Behavior: Consumer Choice, Video Surveillance, and Retail Analytics
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-10-02)In in-store experimental analysis the store is the main laboratory. The paper provides an introduction to the research program aimed at improving the research practices in this laboratory, with a particular emphasis on the importance of behavioral data and the new opportunities that technology offers. In this modern day complicated “Skinner box” there are sets of well-studied stimuli – behavior ... -
Combination of a sorting grid and a square mesh panel to optimize size selection in the North-East Arctic cod (Gadus morhua) and redfish (Sebastes spp.) trawl fisheries
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-12-27)Sorting grids and square mesh panels are the two most-applied technical devices to supplement codend size- and species-selection in demer- sal trawls. In the Barents Sea gadoid fishery, the compulsory size-selectivity system comprises a mesh section with a sorting grid followed by a diamond mesh codend. We tested the size-selective performance of a new sorting section that comprised a sorting grid ... -

Non-degenerate para-complex structures in 6D with large symmetry groups
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-05-20)For an almost product structure J on a manifold M of dimension 6 with non-degenerate Nijenhuis tensor N J, we show that the automorphism group G=Aut(M,J) has dimension at most 14. In the case of equality G is the exceptional Lie group G∗2. The next possible symmetry dimension is proved to be equal to 10, and G has Lie algebra sp(4,R). Both maximal and submaximal symmetric structures are globally ... -
The Incredible Years Teacher Classroom Management Programme in Kindergartens: Effects of a Universal Preventive Effort
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-04-21)The purpose of this study was to identify preventive effects of the Incredible Years (IY) teacher classroom management (TCM) programme, which is employed in Norwegian kindergartens for 3-year-old to 6-year-old children. IY TCM is a universal preventive intervention intended to reduce the frequency of inappropriate types of behaviour and support children’s social- and emotional competence in kindergartens ... -
Vocational identity development among unaccompanied refugee minors
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-09)This study examined educational aspirations and vocational identity formation among unaccompanied refugees in Norway. In Phase 1 we employed questionnaire data from 918 unaccompanied refugees to investigate the effects of demographic information, pre-migration trauma, mental health and acculturation-related factors on their educational aspirations. In Phase 2, data from Identity Status Interviews ... -
Arbeidarpatiet, bolsjevikpartiet og sovjetstaten 1917-1991
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-01-06)The article discusses the long-term effects of the Russian revolution on the Norwegian labour movement, primarily the dominant Norwegian Labour Party. This influence will be assessed from two aspects: its relationship to the Soviet Communist Party, and to the state it created. To reveal the content of and changes in the Norwegian Labour Party in relation to these two variables, it is necessary ... -
Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) and future risk of arterial cardiovascular diseases
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2018-05-28)Myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke rank as the top two killers on the world health organization’s causes of death statistics. Awareness of risk factors is important for targeted prevention of disease, and identification of novel risk factors can further improve the preventive measures. Red cell distribution width (RDW), a measure of the variability in size of the circulating erythrocytes, could ... -
Synthesis and inhibitor design of carbapenemase inhibitors
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2018-05-24)The efficiency of bacteria in acquiring resistance for their survival ensures a never-ending war against resistance. The only tactic to curtail the resistance crisis is to keep pace with it, e.g. by continuous development of new antibiotics with activity against resistant bacteria or revival of existing agents by inhibiting the mechanisms of resistance. β-lactams are the largest and most widely used ... -
Niche construction across climate gradients: the case of Empetrum nigrum in tundra plant communities
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2018-06-08)Here we studied at relevant spatial and temporal scales, how the evergreen dwarf shrub Empetrum nigrum, through its niche constructor ability, affects tundra plant communities along climatic gradients. Empetrum is a common dwarf shrub which is particularly abundant in many tundra ecosystems. As a niche constructor is has strong influence on many ecosystem processes and its direct effects can last ... -
