Additive manufacturing (AM) is a field with both industrial and academic significance. Computer-aided optimisation has brought advances to this field over the years, but challenges and areas of improvement still remain. Design to execution inaccuracies, void formation, material anisotropy, and surface quality are examples of remaining challenges. These challenges can be improved via some of the ...

Tromsø-konvensjonen er den første internasjonale konvensjon som sikrer allmennheten rett til innsyn i offentlige dokumenter. Konvensjonen trådte i kraft 1. desember 2020. Artikkelen analyserer de forpliktelser som følger av Tromsø-konvensjonen, med hovedvekt på de av bestemmelsene som kan tenkes å gi allmennheten en bedre posisjon enn hva som følger av det norske innsynsregelverket.

Herbivorous rodents in boreal, alpine and arctic ecosystems are renowned for their multi-annual population cycles. Researchers have hypothesised that these cycles may result from herbivore–plant interactions in various ways. For instance, if the biomass of preferred food plants is reduced after a peak phase of a cycle, rodent diets can be expected to become dominated by less preferred food plants, ...

There is increasing attention toward students’ satisfaction and how they perceive the quality of the program they attend. This study examined stability and change across time with regard to the relationships between learning environment factors and occupational therapy students’ satisfaction with the program. In the two consecutive cross-sectional analyses performed in this study, 163 second-year ...

Background - Aboriginal women and their infants experience significant disadvantage in health outcomes compared to their non-Aboriginal counterparts. Access to timely, effective and appropriate maternal and child healthcare can contribute to reducing these existing health disparities. However, accessing mainstream healthcare services often results in high levels of fear and anxiety, and low attendance ...

This study discusses the methods and challenges of deidentifying and pseudonymizing Norwegian clinical text for research purposes. The results of the NorDeid tool for deidentification and pseudonymization on different types of protected health information were evaluated and discussed, as well as the extension of its functionality with regular expressions to identify specific types of sensitive ...

Kystlandskapet og dets ressurser har gjennom alle tider vært viktige for befolkningen i Nord-Norge. Det gjelder også for fangstfolk i periodene yngre steinalder (ca. 5000–1800 fvt.) og tidlig metalltid (1800–0 fvt.) som primært livnærte seg av fisk, sel og sjøfugl. Derfor er det litt av et paradoks at de avbildninger vi finner for eksempel i bergkunsten i utstrakt grad er av landpattedyr. Hvordan ...

In this talk, I present an in-depth exploration of multiphysics—a domain where physical processes or phenomena operate simultaneously and interact. My research encompasses the development and utilization of computational models to solve complex systems where interdependent physical processes coexist. From the fluid-structure interactions that play a critical role in various engineering applications ...

This master's thesis investigates potential connections between linguistic and political attitudes within a bilingual society. It specifically focuses on the contemporary Comunidad Valenciana in Spain, where both Spanish and Valenciano/Catalán hold official language status. It explores the dynamics between linguistic and political attitudes, with a particular emphasis on the divisions between ...
