Sammendrag Introduksjon Bakgrunnen for oppgaven er at det finnes lite forskning på assosiasjon av hjerteinfarkt ved elektrokardiografi hos kvinner. Formålet er derfor å studere sammenhengen mellom EKG avledning I og hjerteinfarkt hos hjertefriske yngre og middelaldrende kvinner og menn. Material og metode Datamaterialet til denne prospektive kohortstudien er hentet fra den tredje Tromsøundersøkelsen ...

This thesis introduces the first study of instance segmentation applied to gas flares in single beam echo sounder data. We develop a comprehensive dataset consisting of 1,414 images, featuring 5,142 segmented objects identified as gas flare. A key contribution is the adaptation of the Brier score specifically for instance segmentation. Further, we show how to adapt the Weighted Box Fusion (WBF) ...

This thesis discusses the protection and promotion of Indigenous and minority languages by analyzing the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages (ECRML). The study is comparative in nature and focuses on the Sami languages, in Norway and Sweden, and the Frisian languages, in Germany and the Netherlands. The ECRML and its explanatory report are analyzed as well as the latest ...

The principles of three Rs-REPLACEMENT, REDUCTION, and REFINEMENT-govern the protection and use of animals, including fish, for research purposes in the European Union and Norway. In this paper, we discuss some straightforward steps to simplify the delivery of these principles at the idea stage and adapt some of these examples for conducting fish trials related to health and welfare. Although some ...

The present article evaluates different approaches to the construc-tion of a North Saami-Lule Saami dictionary. The pivot method (via Norwegian) gives rise both to a low coverage and to a massive overgeneration and requires other methods in order to distinguish between good and bad candidate pairs. We show that it is possible to distinguish reliably between good and bad pairs ...

Upper Palaeozoic strata are potential sources for hydrocarbon plays on the Norwegian Barents Shelf. The island of Bjørnøya (Bear Island) is located on the western margin of the Barents Shelf and represents an exposed part of the Stappen High, which makes it an excellent location to investigate the source rock potential of this succession. Here, we investigate the organic geochemical composition and ...

We present decomposable (5, 6)-solutions M^1,4×M⁶ in eleven-dimensional supergravity by solving the bosonic supergravity equations for a variety of non-trivial flux forms. Many of the bosonic backgrounds presented here are induced by various types of null flux forms on products of certain totally Ricci-isotropic Lorentzian Walker manifolds and Ricci-flat Riemannian manifolds. ...

Individual variation in heritage language (HL) outcomes does not seem to be random. Instead, this variation can be related to the specific exposure and use patterns heritage speakers (HSs) have with their languages in the contexts they reside. In this study, we present data from 38 child HSs of Persian in English dominant contexts (in New Zealand and the UK), their mothers as well as a control group ...

This dissertation focuses on The Morung Express, a newspaper in Nagaland State, India, established by human rights activists in 2005. With a strong interest in indigenous issues, the newspaper presents itself as an alternative to mainstream media in India and claims to be guided by the historical experiences of the Naga people. This study examines a particular period in the newspaper’s life (2020-2023) ...

Since 2014, the Russian space sector has handled institutional rearrangement and external economic pressure. On the one hand, the establishment of the State Space Corporation Roscosmos intended to renovate a critical segment and save an industry that is one of the jewels of the Soviet legacy. On the other hand, the Russian annexation of Crimea triggered waves of financial and economic sanctions that ...
