Introduction & Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the most prevalent non-communicable diseases (NCDs) globally. In 2018, CVD claimed 12,091 lives in Norway, and between 2005-2016 approximately 21% of the Norwegian population were administered therapeutic drugs to treat or prevent CVD. The World Health Organization has created a target to reduce NCD deaths by 33% between 2010-2030 for ...

ABSTRACT The growth of the world’s population leads to increased energy needs. The use of fossil energy leads to challenges. The main reason for this is that the use of fossil fuels has a negative impact on global climate change, and the world is heading towards running out of fossil fuels in a few years. Renewable energy sources like photovoltaic and wind power plants are good solutions for those ...

The thesis examines which energy production methods are suitable together with seasonal storage of energy at UiT the arctic university of Norway in Narvik. Nordkraft has provided the subject which has been examined. The location of UiT Narvik together with its areas and storage volumes have been examined for what power production methods and energy storage methods are suitable for this location. ...

Inverter-based resources (IBRs), such as solar and wind power are gaining popularity because of their increasing acceptance, environmental benefits and decreasing costs. However, their integration into power systems can lead to significant impacts on system inertia and frequency stability, which are crucial for maintaining the reliability of the power grid. In traditional power systems, the synchronous ...

Tilsetting av fiber i betong har vært noe som lenge har vært benyttet for å tilføre strekkegneskaper i betongen og hindre blant annet riss i betongen. Det har i de siste årene vært et ønske om å undersøke om det er forsvarlig å bruke fiber betong i bærende konstruksjoner, og ikke kun i fundamenter og sprøytebetong som fiber har normalt sett vært benyttet til. Etter publiseringen av NB.38 i 2020 har ...

This thesis project was commissioned by Cegal and aimed to investigate the potential for demand-side flexibility in the Helgeland region, as well as evaluate forecasting methods for a demand-response system. The future energy situation in the area was analyzed, while the experimental part investigated forecasting methods which can be applied in a demand-response system. Finally, the project i ...

This master’s thesis examines the viability of using a low-performance, low- power-consumption remote robot agent to collect sensor data for use in a vSLAM system. Selections for the components of the robot agent were made based on results from a small initial study, the robot was assembled, and software to run it was created. A remote server application was created to communicate with the robot ...

Den rettslige problemstillingen har blitt aktualisert av både faglig debatt og samfunnsdebatt etter lovendringen i 2017. Det har blant annet dukket opp kritikk fra medisinsk hold om at loven ikke fungerer etter hensikten, og det er vist til konkrete saker der personer har blitt vurdert til å være samtykkekompetent med alvorlige konsekvenser. Oppgaven forsøker å belyse hvorvidt lovendringen har ...

Masteravhandlingen er rettshistorisk. Den omhandler negotiorum gestio, såkalt uanmodet forretningsførsel, i Danmark-Norge på 1700-tallet. Avhandlingen har også et internasjonalt og komparativt utsyn ettersom den berører romersk rett i tillegg til naturrettstenkningen som preget Europa mellom 1600- og 1800-tallet.

Avhandlingen omhandler statens reparasjonsplikt etter brudd på retten til kulturutøvelse i SP artikkel 27. Ulike aspekter av dette temaet drøftes gjennom avhandlingens tre hovedkapitler. Kapittel 5 inneholder en rettsdogmatisk analyse av det materielle innholdet i kravet til "effective remedy" og nasjonal myndighet i SP artikkel 2(3). Kapittel 6 inneholder en rettsdogmatisk analyse av om, og i så ...
