    • The roles role play plays : The form and function of bilectal codeswitching in North Norwegian pre-school children’s role play 

      Strand, Bror-Magnus S. (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2022-08-25)
      It is well known that Norwegian children code-switch from their native dialect to something resembling Central or Standard East Norwegian in their in-character role utterances during role play. Despite this, the structural aspects of the phenomenon are not exhaustively studied and understood, and the function of this role-play register as a tool for communication in role play deserves further ...
    • War is for American (super)men: Narratives of conflict and gender in the Captain America franchise 

      Stancic, Marija (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2022-06-01)
      The way conflict and gender are discursively constructed is influenced, in part, by media representations. An influential entertainment complex like the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) can, therefore, play a major role in the way conflict, gender, and their intersection are understood. This thesis explores Marvel’s representations of those topics in the Captain America franchise by analyzing the ...

    • Polar Mesospheric Winter Echoes - an analysis of selected cases 

      Ettestad, Kristine (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2022-05-31)
      Polar Mesospheric Winter Echoes (PMWE) are strong coherent radar echoes, from the upper mesosphere at 55-85 km that are observed typically from end of August until beginning of May. Some models to explain PMWE formation suggest that they form because of turbulence in the atmosphere. Other models suggest that the PMWEs form like summer polar mesospheric echoes (PMSE) where charged dust particles ...

      Frøystein, Ingeborg (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2022-05-31)
      The partly ionized ionosphere responds differently to high power, high frequency radio waves based on the wave frequency, the wave power, the wave polarization, and the propagation angle relative to the magnetic field. Ionospheric modification experiments are conducted to investigate the responses and their dependencies, setting experimental constraints on the contributions from non-resonant collisional ...
    • Disambiguation of range-Doppler radar measurements 

      Alvsaker, Andrea Marie (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2022-05-31)
      Observing the Moon by a monostatic synthetic-aperture radar system has the inherent problem that any given combination of range and Doppler shift in a measurement will map to two different regions on the lunar surface. This ambiguity has previously been avoided using an interferometric radar configuration or selective illumination. The objective of this thesis was to write and validate a method for ...
