Overtredelsesgebyr (OTG) er en administrativ sanksjon som Fiskeridirektoratet kan ilegge ved overtredelser av fiskerilovgivningen. Denne oppgaven undersøker bruken av OTG i norsk fiskerinæring, med formål om å vise hvorfor det er uenigheter mellom forvaltningen og fiskerne om bruken av sanksjonsmetoden. For å besvare oppgavens problemstilling vil studien bruke en "mixed methods" tilnærming ved å ...

Salmon louse, (Lepeophtheirus salmonis, Krøyer, 1838), is an ectoparasite that causes multiple health and economic problems in the farming of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.), but also threatens wild salmonid species. The industry is struggling to identify proper measures for limiting lice infections, and to identify effective delousing treatments. One of the major production and management challenges, ...

This chapter introduces generative approaches to syntax. Because space prevents full discussion of the many existing approaches we have chosen to focus on derivational (‘transformational’) approaches, essentially along the lines developed by Chomsky and many others. The most recent incarnation of this specific approach is called ‘The Minimalist Program’, or just ‘Minimalism’: it is an approach which ...

1. The concept of cumulative impacts is widespread in policy documents, regu-lations and ecological studies, but quantification methods are still evolving. Infrastructure development usually takes place in landscapes with preexist-ing anthropogenic features. Typically, their impact is determined by computing the distance to the nearest feature only, thus ignoring the potential cumulative impacts of ...

Secure multiparty computation (SMC) is a technique that allows multiple parties to jointly compute a function while keeping their inputs private. This technique has gained significant attention due to its potential applications in various fields, including privacy-preserving healthcare, politics and finance. SMC involves a set of protocols that enable parties to achieve secure computation and ...

Colon cancer is a common malignancy. We retrospectively established a biobank including 452 patients operated for colon cancer stage I-III in Northern Norway in the period 1998-2007. Tissue microarrays (TMAs) containing tumor tissue from these patients were constructed, and subsequently biomarker expression assessed by digital pathology. By using in situ hybridization, we assessed the expression of ...

Despite the poly-vocal and heterogeneous gendered realities that come through in "We Sinners" and (ex-) Laestadian women's life narratives, from the perspectives of secular society and mainstream feminism, the role or place of North American Laestadian women—in the “home,” “social networks,” and “believer communities”—would likely be interpreted as laden with patriarchal oppression. This study aims ...

Antimikrobiell resistens (AMR) utgjør en av de tre viktigste helseproblemene i verden i dag, og kan medføre alvorlige konsekvenser ifølge Verdens helseorganisasjon (WHO). Resistensutviklingen fører til terapisvikt mot infeksjonssykdommer som tidligere lot seg behandle av antimikrobielle midler og flere millioner menneskeliv kan gå tapt, hvis ikke tiltak iverksettes for å redusere forekomsten av AMR. ...

The aim of this paper is to highlight use of the flipped classroom method, and how teachers perceive this teaching practice. More specific the research focus on whether the teachers’ experience that the model leads to increased motivation in the students learning process. The background for the research is generated from qualitative interviews with teachers, and the empirical data obtained is from ...

This chapter reports from three studies of implementation and use of electronic patient records and systems for health information exchange. In contemporary health care such large ICT systems are implemented on all levels. Nevertheless, there is a growing awareness that the potential for crossinstitutional communication and quality improvements of the health- and care services that these systems ...
