En slik undersøkelse forutsetter først og fremst en nærmere redegjørelse for innholdet i digitalmarkedsdirektivet ... -
Balansen mellom ytringsfriheten og vernet mot diskriminerende eller hatefulle ytringer - med et særlig fokus på ytringer gjennom bruk av symboler
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-12-15)Avhandlingens tema er balanseforholdet mellom ytringsfriheten og det strafferettslige vernet mot diskriminerende eller hatefulle ytringer. Fokuset ligger på hvordan denne balansen er ivaretatt når ytringen kommer til uttrykk gjennom symboler. Slike ytringer skaper noen rettslige utfordringer som er lite avklart i dagens rettstilstand. Formålet med avhandlingen er å belyse terskelen for når en ... -
Læring av erfaring med snøskredulykke
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-12-15)Det sies at vi best lærer av våre feil. Hvis man ved høyrisikoaktiviteter som skikjøring i skredterreng lærer best ved å faktisk oppleve en ulykke vil det kunne få alvorlige konsekvenser. Likevel viste studie til Mannberg, Hetland og Pfuhl (2020) at 38% av de som har opplevd snøskredulykke blir tatt gjentatte ganger. Hva lærer vi etter en snøskredulykke? Denne studien hadde fire forskningsspørsmål: ... -
Sammenligning av TFCBT og BMOI for voksne som lider av PTSD og som har opplevd mishandling i barndommen: en litteraturstudiet
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-12-15)For å vurdere og sammenligne traumefokusert kognitiv atferdsterapi (TFCBT) og kropps- og bevegelsesspesifikke intervensjoner (BMOI) for traumatiserte voksne med PTSD og som var blitt misbrukt i barndommen, ble det gjennomført en systematisk litteraturgjennomgang. To databaser (Pubmed og Psycinfo) ble søkt ved bruk av nøkkelord som PTSD, mishandling i barndommen og TFCBT- eller BMOI-behandlinger. ... -

Hovedproblemstillingen er hvorvidt dagens ordning for tilrettelagt avhør er i overenstemmelse med de krav som konvensjonen ... -
Vietnam – A general study of the triangulation toward change: social movements, economic development, and political changeover. An overview on the Vietnamese political development between internal movements and external constraints
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-11-14)The 1986 Economic Reform (Doi Moi) can be considered a watershed in Vietnamese history. The resulting development has also had a notable impact on society, where a more solid economic base has enabled the development of the middle class, a necessary condition for the growth of civil society. While the political system still defends a collectivist model, economic liberalism is bringing the Vietnamese ... -
The prevalence and determinants of Polypharmacy in middle-aged population of two Russian cities.
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-11-30)Introduction: Polypharmacy has been a global threat these days and raised a question about its determinants. Differences in socioeconomic conditions, comorbid conditions, healthcare services use of individuals were expected to be related to Polypharmacy. Populations with cardiovascular diseases are more likely to be on multiple medications. However, no studies investigated the effects of socioeconomic ... -
SE in Spanish: properties, structures and analyses
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-01)This article provides an overview of Spanish SE, covering the main empirical facts, analyses and theoretical issues that it raises, and exploring the prospects to unify all uses –which are over a dozen in the literature– under one same object that keeps its surface properties invariable. We will show that it is almost inescapable to propose that SE is associated to two types of objects, defective ... -
Anti-Colonization Effect of Au Surfaces with Self-Assembled Molecular Monolayers Functionalized with Antimicrobial Peptides on S. epidermidis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-10)Medical devices with an effective anti-colonization surface are important tools for combatting healthcare-associated infections. Here, we investigated the anti-colonization efficacy of antimicrobial peptides covalently attached to a gold model surface. The gold surface was modified by a self-assembled polyethylene glycol monolayer with an acetylene terminus. The peptides were covalently connected ... -
Estimating the impact of indoor relative humidity on SARS-CoV-2 airborne transmission risk using a new modification of the Wells-Riley model
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-23)A novel modified version of the Wells-Riley model was used to estimate the impact of relative humidity (RH) on the removal of respiratory droplets containing the SARS-CoV-2 virus by deposition through gravitational settling and its inactivation by biological decay; the effect of RH on susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 was not considered. These effects were compared with the removal achieved by increased ... -
Ancient and modern genomes unravel the evolutionary history of the rhinoceros family
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-24)Only five species of the once-diverse Rhinocerotidae remain, making the reconstruction of their evolutionary history a challenge to biologists since Darwin. We sequenced genomes from five rhinoceros species (three extinct and two living), which we compared to existing data from the remaining three living species and a range of outgroups. We identify an early divergence between extant African and ... -

The Incredible Years (IY) and The International Child Development Programme (ICDP) have been widely adopted throughout Norway. ... -
Inter-population synchrony in adult survival and effects of climate and extreme weather in non-breeding areas of Atlantic puffins
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-14)Seabirds are undergoing drastic declines globally and spend the non-breeding season at sea, making it challenging to study the drivers of their survival. Harsh weather and changes in climate conditions can have large impacts on seabird population dynamics through increased mortality. The intensity and persistence of extreme events are forecasted to increase with global warming. As shared conditions ... -
Reported language attitudes among Norwegian speaking in-migrants in Tromsø
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-03)Today, in an era of increased mobility and migration, there is also increased in-migration within regions and countries. In the case of Norway, there is high tolerance for dialect use, and in this context, it is interesting to ask which kinds of sociolinguistic strategies in-migrants consider to be available given their current situation. This article explores the reported language attitudes from ... -
Peopling Prehistoric Coastlines: Identifying Mid-Holocene Forager Settlement Strategies in Northern Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-08)In circumpolar regions, coastlines offer rich constellations of diverse resources and have long been a focus of human habitation. Despite the rich archaeological records that are located along many northern coastlines, there is a relatively limited understanding of the range of factors that informed local settlement strategies. Northern Norway has one of the world’s longest and best-preserved ...
