    • Why Bother to Participate? What Influences Student Motivation to Participate in Student Evaluations of Teaching (SET)? 

      Hoel, Anniken (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-05-02)
      When response rates on student evaluation of teaching (SET) are low, the results cannot be interpreted as reliable and therefore not be used as intended. The low response rates, followed by departments inability to properly interpret responses from the students who do participate is a big problem. Where does the motivation to participate break down, and where and how does it make sense for the ...
    • Privacy preserving distributed computation of community health research data 

      Andersen, Anders; Saus, Merete (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-09-19)
      Research in community health introduces challenges regarding analysis of the research data. It involves multiple actors in a varity of arenas, and it is often directed towards the local community and children and their families. The legal, ethical and privacy issues involved introduce constraints upon the analysis performed. SNOOP combined with the D2Worm declarative modelling and infrastructure ...
    • Bruk av hesteassistert psykoterapi til behandling av mennesker med relasjonstraumer: En kvalitativ undersøkelse 

      Vebostad, Mailen Ljovshin (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-05-02)
      Hensikten med studien er å utforske hvordan pasienter opplever hesteassistert psykoterapi som en del av deres behandling. Hesteassistert psykoterapi gir pasientene lærdom gjennom en praktisk tilnærming i nåtid fremfor teori, og er det som skiller hesteassistert psykoterapi ut fra annen behandling. For å utforske dette, ble det benyttet et kvalitativ design, og semi-strukturerte intervjuer av fem ...
    • "Å skape mening i konsolideringens navn". Den russiske revolusjonens hundreårsjubileum 

      Nielsen, Jens Petter (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      The centenary of the Russian Revolution is to be commemorated in 2017. This article concerns the Putin administration’s approach to history regarding the event. Generally speaking, Putin’s approach to history aims to use historical knowledge as a vehicle for the promotion of national unity, following the long period of disruption and decline after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. It is ...
    • Nødvendig, ikke ønskelig. Utviklingen av ungdomsarbeidet i Lyngen-læstadianismen 

      Andreassen, Bengt-Ove (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Ungdomsarbeid i religiøse bevegelser er i dag veletablert og lite kontroversielt. I enkelte læstadianske grupperinger er bildet noe mer sammensatt. Et eget ungdomsarbeid er et nokså nytt fenomen som læstadianerne har hatt et ambivalent forhold til. I 1999 ble et initiativ fra en lokal forsamling om mer organisert virksomhet for barn og ungdom blankt avvist av predikantene i Den luthersk-læstadi ...
    • Algal hot spots in a changing Arctic Ocean: Sea-ice ridges and the snow-ice interface 

      Fernández-Méndez, Mar; Olsen, Lasse Mork; Kauko, Hanna M.; Meyer, Amelie; Rösel, Anja; Merkouriadi, Ioanna; Mundy, Christopher John; Ehn, Jens K.; Johansson, Malin; Wagner, Penelope Mae; Ervik, Åse; Sorrell, BK; Duarte, Pedro; Wold, Anette; Hop, Haakon; Assmy, Phillipp (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-12)
      During the N-ICE2015 drift expedition north-west of Svalbard, we observed the establishment and development of algal communities in first-year ice (FYI) ridges and at the snow-ice interface. Despite some indications of being hot spots for biological activity, ridges are under-studied largely because they are complex structures that are difficult to sample. Snow infiltration communities can grow at ...

      Formålet med denne studien var å undersøke implisitte og eksplisitte holdninger mot eldre arbeidere i Norge. I studie 1 undersøkte vi norske studenters spontane tanker om vanlige stereotypier mot eldre arbeidere i det norske samfunnet. Den kvalitative analysen viste at norske stereotypier mot eldre arbeidere samsvarer med stereotypier fra andre land. I tillegg pilot-testet og identifiserte vi et ...
    • Year-round CH4 and CO2 flux dynamics in two contrasting freshwater ecosystems of the subarctic 

      Jammet, Mathilde; Dengel, Sigrid; Kettner, Ernesto; Parmentier, Frans-Jan W.; Wik, Martin; Crill, Patrick; Friborg, Thomas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-11-21)
      Lakes and wetlands, common ecosystems of the high northern latitudes, exchange large amounts of the climate-forcing gases methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) with the atmosphere. The magnitudes of these fluxes and the processes driving them are still uncertain, particularly for subarctic and Arctic lakes where direct measurements of CH4 and CO2 emissions are often of low temporal resolution and ...
    • The Effect of Parents’ Integration and Acceptance of the Hosting Culture on Immigrant Adolescents’ Dual Identity 

      Soltanpanah, Jilwan (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-05-02)
      Formålet med dette studiet var å undersøke forholdet mellom og prediktorer av innvandrer ungdoms tre kulturelle identiteter, etnisk identitet (dvs. identiteten knyttet til opprinnelseskulturen), nasjonal identitet (dvs. identiteten knyttet til verts kultur) og dual identitet (dvs. en integrert identitet kombinert av både etnisk og verts kultur). Vi gjennomførte en studie med 97 ungdommer med ...

      Storheim, Kjersti; Espeland, Ansgar; Grøvle, Lars; Skouen, Jan Sture; Assmus, Jörg; Anke, Audny; Froholdt, Anne; Pedersen, Linda Margareth; Haugen, A. J.; Fors, Terese; Lutro, Olav; Marchand, Gunn Hege; Kadar, Thomas; Vetti, Nils; Randen, Solfrid; Nygaard, Øystein Petter; Brox, Jens Ivar; Grotle, Margreth; Zwart, John-Anker (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-12-15)
      Background: <br>A previous randomised controlled trial (RCT) of patients with chronic low back pain (LBP) and vertebral bone marrow (Modic) changes (MCs) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), reported that a 3-month, high-dose course of antibiotics had a better effect than placebo at 12 months’ follow-up. The present study examines the effects of antibiotic treatment in chronic LBP patients with ...
    • Revealing the full ocean migration of individual Atlantic salmon 

      Strøm, John Fredrik; Thorstad, Eva Bonsak; Hedger, Richard David; Rikardsen, Audun H. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-02-14)
      Knowledge of the complete horizontal migration and vertical movements of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) during the marine phase is important for understanding the link between individual processes and population recruitment. We studied the detailed migration behaviour of six post-spawned adult Atlantic salmon from a North Norwegian river, during the entire ocean migration, by using high-resolution ...
    • A method to improve high-resolution sea ice drift retrievals in the presence of deformation zones 

      Griebel, Jakob; Dierking, Wolfgang Fritz Otto (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-07-12)
      Retrievals of sea ice drift from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images at high spatial resolution are valuable for understanding kinematic behavior and deformation processes of the ice at different spatial scales. Ice deformation causes temporal changes in patterns observed in sequences of SAR images; which makes it difficult to retrieve ice displacement with algorithms based on correlation and ...
    • Object-based detection of linear kinematic features in sea ice 

      Linow, Stefanie; Dierking, Wolfgang Fritz Otto (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-05-18)
      Inhomogenities in the sea ice motion field cause deformation zones, such as leads, cracks and pressure ridges. Due to their long and often narrow shape, those structures are referred to as Linear Kinematic Features (LKFs). In this paper we specifically address the identification and characterization of variations and discontinuities in the spatial distribution of the total deformation, which ...
    • Vitenskapelig ansattes refleksjoner om utvikling av egen undervisning 

      Sandvoll, Ragnhild; Dørum, Kine; Solberg, Mariann (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      I denne studien utforsket vi et utvalg «Min undervisningsfilosofi»-tekster for å søke svar på hva vitenskapelig ansatte trekker frem når de reflekterer over egen undervisning. Arbeidet tok utgangspunkt i idéen om at for å utvikle og øke kvaliteten på sin undervisning er det nødvendig at vitenskapelig ansatte for det første tilegner seg teoretisk kunnskap om undervisning og læring (Handal, 2006), ...
    • Sustainability-Oriented Innovation in the Minerals Industry: An Empirical Study on the Effect of Non-Geographical Proximity Dimensions 

      Ghassim, Babak (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-22)
      Minerals mining and processing companies (hereinafter referred to as “minerals industry”) face the increasing demand for a comprehensive approach towards innovations aimed at sustainability. While the ability to learn from external sources of knowledge is at the core of this process, lack of geographical proximity and multiplicity of external sources impose challenges for mineral companies in ...
    • Comparing SAR based short time-lag cross-correlation and Doppler derived sea ice drift velocities 

      Kræmer, Thomas; Johnsen, Harald; Brekke, Camilla; Engen, Geir (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-11-23)
      This paper shows initial results from estimating Doppler radial surface velocities (RVLs) over Arctic sea ice using the Sentinel-1A (S1A) satellite. Our study presents the first quantitative comparison between ice drift derived from the Doppler shifts and drift derived using time-series methods over comparable time scales. We compare the Doppler-derived ice velocities with global positioning system ...
    • Gas hydrate dissociation off Svalbard induced by isostatic rebound rather than global warming 

      Wallmann, Klaus; Riedel, M.; Hong, Wei-Li; Patton, Henry; Hubbard, Alun Lloyd; Pape, T.; Hsu, C.W.; Schmidt, C.; Johnson, Joel E.; Torres, M.E.; Andreassen, Karin; Berndt, C.; Bohrmann, G (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-08)
      Methane seepage from the upper continental slopes of Western Svalbard has previously been attributed to gas hydrate dissociation induced by anthropogenic warming of ambient bottom waters. Here we show that sediment cores drilled off Prins Karls Foreland contain freshwater from dissociating hydrates. However, our modeling indicates that the observed pore water freshening began around 8 ka BP when ...
