At 04:01 on November 8th, 2018, the Norwegian frigate HNoMS Helge Ingstad collided with the tanker Sola TS near the Sture Terminal in the Hjeltefjord, eventually sinking. Of the 137 crew members, seven sustained minor injuries. While initial media attention focused on the collision, it later shifted to the legal proceedings. A single individual was convicted, with findings from the Accident Investigation ...

This thesis examines the development of flight deck design, and how the relationship between design, human factors, and crew resource management (CRM), plays a key role in aviation safety and pilot performance. With a combination of a literature review, case studies, and an empirical study consisting of a survey and interview responses from pilots and experts in the field, the researchers have ...

<p>The increasing demand for marine bioresources to support aquaculture and global food security has driven the interest in mesopelagic fish, <i>Calanus sp.</i>, and northern krill (<i>Meganyctiphanes norvegica</i>) as alternative marine feed resources. However, efficient harvesting of these species presents significant challenges due to their small size, which requires the use of small-meshed trawls ...

<i>Calanus</i> spp. are marine zooplankton that are considered as a potential source for aquaculture feed, due to their high abundance in the North Atlantic. The diminutive size (< 5 mm) of these zooplankton necessitates the use of fine-meshed trawls to harvest them efficiently. However, the use of fine-meshed trawls leads to high drag and thus energy demand to tow the trawl. Therefore, it is of ...

This thesis explores gender dynamics in Kanaky/New Caledonia, highlighting colonialism's enduring impact on Kanak women's lived experiences. In response to the gaps in research on how Indigenous women actively negotiate the tensions between custom, modernity and colonialism, this study examines their narratives and practices in cultural education and media activism. Mobilizing a theoretical approach ...

The research develops two automated data analysis frameworks, ARMADA and FACTS, to tackle essential operational problems in warehouse robotics systems. Warehouse robotics environments encounter ongoing problems with maintenance optimization and technical documentation processing that negatively affect operational efficiency. The ARMADA(Anomaly Recognition for Maintenance and Diagnostic Applications) ...

The goal of the project is to use and suit a transformer based foundation model such as Lag-Llama (https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.08278) to forecast energy prices. Lag-Llama is pretrained on a large corpus of diverse time series data from several domains, and demonstrates strong zero-shot generalization capabilities compared to a wide range for forecasting models. The forecasting task should focus on ...

The analysis of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals is vital for the early detection and diagnosis of cardiac abnormalities, yet progress in automated ECG interpretation is constrained by the scarcity of high-quality labeled data. This thesis investigates unsupervised contrastive learning as a means to overcome these limitations and unlock clinically relevant representations from unlabeled ECG recordings. ...

Et sentralt område innen forskning på begynneropplæring er de ulike tilnærmingene til elevenes skriftspråkopplæring. Temaet for denne masteroppgaven er funksjonell og utforskende skriving på første trinn gjennom bruk av rammelek. Formålet med studien har vært å utvikle kunnskap om hvordan rammelek kan brukes som en pedagogisk tilnærming for å styrke elevenes skriveferdigheter, samt undersøke hvilke ...

I denne oppgaven presenterer jeg skisser for hvordan læremidlene i norskfaget kunne vært utforma for å speile læreplanverkets intensjoner om å inkludere samer i et mangfoldig «vi». Arbeidet gis form gjennom å bygge forståelse i tre deler. Hver del tar sikte på å svare på et forskningsspørsmål: Det første spørsmålet: Hva vi vet om samiske emner i læremidler for norskfaget svarer jeg på gjennom å ...
