    • Byrommets transformative snølandskap 

      Botani, Zeri Emilie (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2024-06-03)
      En vinterby defineres som områder med jevnlig temperatur under 0 grader, der mesteparten av nedbør er snø og de har færre timer med sol og dagslys. Ofte er byrom, veier og gater designet og tilrettelagt for sommeren, noe som gjør det utfordrende for mennesker å bruke byen om vinteren. Dette kan medføre til at mennesker holder seg innendørs og isolerer seg, mens de venter til vinteren er over. ...

      Sletten, Sverre Drange (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2024-06-02)
      I Nord-Norge er spørsmålet om kraft et stort problem . Både historisk og i dag. Regionen er preget av begrenset nettkapasitet og alle ønsker tilgang på kortreiste elektroner. Når nye nett- og kraftproduksjonsanlegg håndteres gjennom konsesjonssaker istedenfor kommunale planer, kan det ofte fremstå som en “første mann til mølla” situasjon. Konsekvensen av dette, er en befolkning som ikke føler seg ...

    • Forensic DNA phenotyping - Towards reliable and accurate DNA tests for prediction of eye colour, hair colour and biogeographical ancestry 

      Salvo, Nina Mjølsnes (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2024-06-27)
      Forensic DNA phenotyping (FDP) can aid police investigations where there is no match between the crime scene DNA and a suspect or a database hit. By using FDP, we can predict appearance and biogeographical ancestry (BGA) of an unknown person. These DNA tests are currently being implemented in forensic casework in many countries. However, prior to implementation, the methods have to be evaluated and ...

      Karayel, Ceylin Yagmur (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-05-02)
      Many studies have shown the negative effects of mind wandering (MW) on performance in sustained attention tasks, however, its effects on reinforcement learning (RL), a process based on reward- and loss-based learning, is an unexplored field. In the current study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between MW and RL by employing a novel RL task to observe how MW influences performance. In ...

    • Eternal Sunshine of the Positive Mind? A Qualitative Study Investigating Laypeople’s Diverse Definition of Positive Thinking 

      Primdahl, Marie Seberg (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-05-01)
      We often receive advice to think positively when faced with difficulties as it is believed to be helpful by increasing motivation to solve tasks or even to treat illness. Despite its prevalence, positivity as cognition has not been sufficiently defined. Thus, this thesis investigates folk theories about positive thinking through two qualitative studies; focus group interviews (n=18) and an online ...

    • The Sky is the Limit: Breaking the Glass Ceiling as an Ethnic Minority in Organizations 

      Babiker, Samy (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-05-01)
      People with an ethnic minority background are becoming more prevalent in Western societies, and are more represented in the workforce as a consequence. Negative stereotypes and attitudes towards ethnic minorities persist in terms of lack of skill and knowledge that leads to discrimination and negative outcomes in their career progression. These obstacles make a glass ceiling that limit the potential ...

    • Adjusting the Instruction-Based Congruency Effect to an Explicit cue Requires Practise 

      Aasen, Steffen Rygg (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-05-01)
      Humans display an ability to rapidly adapt behaviour to novelly instructed relations. Instructions typically bind known stimuli and responses in novel ways that must be retained for future implementation, which can induce unintentional effects on a secondary task. This effect can be adjusted based on the degree of preparation for the retained instruction. Cues can be used to explicitly signal upcoming ...
