The Abkhazian Conflict: A Study on Self-determination and International Intervention
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)The Crimean conflict in 2014 followed in many respects the pattern of Russia’s previous interventions in a neighbouring state – e.g., the 2008 Georgian conflict. Yet its similarities with the forgotten Abkhazian conflict in 1992–1993 are not widely acknowledged. The principal aim of the study presented was to determine whether Abkhazia had the right to claim statehood and to examine Russia’s actions ... -
Are similar control processes implemented during single and dual language production? Evidence from switching between speech registers and languages
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-31)To investigate whether similar control processes are used during single and dual language production, we compared register switching (formal and informal speech in the same language) vs. language switching (French and English). The results across two experiments showed a positive correlation of overall register- and language-switch costs and similar formal French switch costs across the two switching ... -

Introducing Normativity in African International Politics
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-21)With fifty-four states, Africa represents a microcosm of the Westphalian world. In conjunction with the Westphalian fragmentation of the continent, other fragmentations have compounded the intractable problem of ‘othering’ on the continent. The fragmentations sum up an African condition in the twenty-first century because they simultaneously represent the ‘divisions’ based on which Africans are ... -
The problem with the individualist approach to the principle of the immunity of non-combatants
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-25)The world is littered with wars in which innocent individual human beings, helpless groups of persons and harmless institutions are casualties because they are directly or indirectly targeted and attacked. The nature or composition of such casualties calls for a revision of, or at least leads one to question, the dominant approach to the principle of non-combatant immunity. In the just war theory, ... -

Ungdom med psykiske helseplager i videregående opplæring: En kvantitativ studie på betydningen av tid og hjelp for frafall
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2020-12-11)En fjerdedel av ungdommene som starter videregående opplæring (VGO) avslutter uten å ha fullført fem år etter oppstart, noen av dem på grunn av psykiske helseplager. Ingen har hittil undersøkt hvilken betydning ekstra tid eller formell hjelp mot psykiske helseplager har for frafallsraten. Data er hentet fra prosjektet UngVilje hvor ungdom besvarte spørsmål om deres livssituasjon ved oppstart av VGO ... -

Emosjonelt ustabil personlighetsforstyrrelse: Forstyrrelse av selvet etter utviklingstraumer. En litteraturgjennomgang.
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2020-01-31)Postmodernistisk psykologi viser til at det idéhistorisk stabile og enhetlige selvet er en illusjon som er historisk og sosialt konstruert. Selvet kan i dag forstås å bestå av ulike strukturer. Gjennom veksling av selvtilstander legges grunnlaget for at vi kan oppleve oss som én og mange. Psykologfaglige begreper som selvforstyrrelse og utviklingstraumer har etablert seg i forskningsmiljøer og ... -

En tunge til besvær? Spesialsykepleieres identifisering og håndtering av ammeproblemer forårsaket av stramt tungebånd
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-04-28)I Norge er det et helsepolitisk mål å beskytte, fremme, og øke forekomsten av amming, slik at mødre ikke skal måtte gi opp amming av årsaker som det kunne vært gjort noe med. Dette prosjektet har til hensikt å undersøke hvordan spesialsykepleiere i en neonatalavdeling identifiserer og håndterer ammeproblemer forårsaket av stramt tungebånd. Formålet med prosjekter er å få innsikt i barnesykepleierens ... -
Organometallic Chemistry for Enabling Carbon Dioxide Utilization
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-11)<p>In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is used as the carbon source; indeed, most carbon atoms in the structure of a massive tree—the trunk, the branches, the leaves—originate from CO2. This insight has profound implications for chemical synthesis: complex molecular structures are built from something as simple and inert as CO<sub>2</sub>. Scientists have long been fascinated by this concept, and ... -
Forandringsspil: Om tangram, kalejdoskop og gådespil i H.C. Andersens “Sneedronningen”
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021)Denne artikel er en intertekstuelt og intermedialt orienteret læsning af “Sneedronningen”, hvor to af eventyrets kendetegn - dets modulære opbygning og dets spil med variationer - bliver set i lyset af samtidens debat om legetøjet tangram og kalejdoskop. Via sin tematisering af forestillinger om tom, uorganisk forandring placerer eventyret sig i den debat. Denne tilgang til teksten lægger vægt på ... -
Highly sensitive photonic crystal fiber salinity sensor based on Sagnac interferometer
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-02-20)For a sensor, high sensitivity, structural simplicity, and longevity are highly desired for measurement of salinity in seawater. This work proposed an ultrahigh sensitive photonic crystal fiber (PCF) salinity sensor based on the sagnac interferometer (SI). The propagation characteristics of the proposed PCF are analyzed by the finite element method (FEM). The achieved sensitivity reaches up to 37,500 ... -
Person Re-identification in Videos by Analyzing Spatio-temporal Tubes
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-23)Typical person re-identification frameworks search for <i>k</i> best matches in a gallery of images that are often collected in varying conditions. The gallery usually contains image sequences for video re-identification applications. However, such a process is time consuming as video re-identification involves carrying out the matching process multiple times. In this paper, we propose a new method ... -

Novelty in tourism experiences: the influence of physical staging and human interaction on behavioural intentions
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-15)Tourists’ tendency to choose new and different experiences and destinations is well known in tourism research and practice. By drawing on social exchange theory and service-dominant logic, the present study investigates how physical staging and human interaction influence behavioural intentions in experiences with varying levels of novelty. This relationship is tested using survey data collected ... -
Pallitative care in rural and remote areas. Challenges facing rural nurses in palliative cancer care in the far North of Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-02)In Finnmark, the northernmost county of Norway, many villages are remote and scattered between vast stretches of uninhabited land, with mountain crossings that are often closed in winter or where one can only drive in single file behind a snowplough. This may mean periodic total isolation and daily challenges with long distances to other professionals and hospitals. These special circumstances mean ...
