Denne avhandlingen tar for seg en verdsettelse av Nordic Semiconductor ASA (NOD). Vi har ønsket å estimere aksjeverdien til NOD den 31.12.22 sammen med en anbefaling om å kjøpe, holde eller selge. Metoden vi har benyttet har vært å gjennomføre historisk regnskapsanalyse og strategisk selskapsanalyse som grunnlag for en diskontert kontantstrømanalyse. Sistnevnte vektes deretter mot en komparativ ...

Policy makers and researchers are increasingly emphasising the need for more diversified and localised food systems. This study investigates relations between local food systems and community development, revealing how local food is linked with identity, social relations, and community pride. We also address barriers and enablers for developing such links. We conducted an in-depth case study of local ...

I Norge finnes to karriereveier innen undervisning og forskning i høyere utdanning. Veien fra stipendiat via førsteamanuensis til professor er den mest brukte. Men en tredel av de tilsatte i høyere utdanning er tilsatt i en karrierestige som går fra universitets- eller høgskolelektor via førstelektor til dosent. De to karriereveiene kan sies å være knyttet til ulike kunnskapsregimer. I de siste 20 ...

There are two overarching questions that guide this paper: What are some potential issues with the criterion for judgemental rationality as developed by Bhaskar? How can critical realism itself be justified without foundationalist assumptions or an infinite regress of justification? The paper considers how Bhaskar’s criterion for theory choice– developed in the natural sciencescan also be applied ...

En kvalitativ studie av menneskers persepsjon av tatoveringer i det moderne Norske samfunn.

Fine-grained muds produced largely from rock weathering at the Earth’s surface have great influence on global carbon cycling. Mud binds and protects organic carbon (OC) from remineralization, and its organic loading controls the amounts, timescales and pathways of OC sequestration in sediments and soils. Human activities have resulted in marked changes (both increases and decreases) in mud accumulation ...

Municipal amalgamation reforms have taken place across democratic regimes since the 1960s. While much focus has been devoted to such reforms’ causes and effects, less attention has been on public discourse surrounding territorial consolidation. This study analyses how local issue salience may impact local representatives’ stance on amalgamating their municipality with one or more others. We focus ...

Arctic and alpine tundra ecosystems are large reservoirs of organic carbon1,2. Climate warming may stimulate ecosystem respiration and release carbon into the atmosphere3,4. The magnitude and persistency of this stimulation and the environmental mechanisms that drive its variation remain uncertain5,6,7. This hampers the accuracy of global land carbon–climate feedback projections7,8. Here we synthesize ...

In this thesis we examine the influence of Doughnut Economics thinking on urban climate action. By comparing the urban visions and climate action plans of the Doughnut-following city of Amsterdam and the cities of Copenhagen and Stockholm, we try to investigate whether following a Doughnut approach leads to different climate action than currently can be found within the traditional growth-based ...

The following research aims to explore architectural spaces, and the human presence therein, in a Benedictine monastic environment. The empirical material was collected during the spring and summer of 2023 over a period of twenty days during which I stayed as a guest in St. Benedictusberg Abbey in the south of the Netherlands, just a few kilometers away from the tripoint where the country borders ...
