Denne studien tar sikte på å utforske hvilken betydning ettervern og boligsosiale tiltak har for rusavhengige. Det er lagt særlig vekt på hva som fremmer godt ettervern og hvordan recovery, empowerment og brukermedvirkning forplanter seg i sosialfaglig praksis. Videre har samhandling mellom tjenestene og organisering av ettervern i en nordnorsk kommune stått i fokus. Hensikten med studien er bundet ...

Multiphysics simulation software has been developed to predict the key performance attributes of industrial powder coating applications based on applied process-parameter settings. The software is a Eulerian-Lagrangian finite-volume Multiphysics solver based on OpenFOAM, capable of modelling mass transfer effects between powder-coating pistols and electrically grounded metallic substrates. It considers ...

Sports today are more competitive than ever, with an eye for extreme details. Small margins can differentiate between succeeding or failing. That is why it is essential for a team to pay attention to all these margins and use them to their advantage. Technology today plays a huge part in sports. With video cameras and sensors following the players’ every move, it is vital to use this technology ...

The main ambition of this thesis was to study the relationship between isotopic signature of fossil foraminifera and past methane emission at Storfjordrenna Pingos site (South of Svalbard) during the last deglaciation in context of past climatic changes. Two gravity cores, the core 1070 from the flank of the presently inactive gas hydrate pingo 5 (GHP5) and the core 1069 from the top of the ...

Dette er ein kort introduksjon til masteroppgåva. Oppgåva er eit empirisk, kvalitativt litteraturstudium, som bygger på diskursanalytisk metode. Føremålet er å avdekke korleis personar med funksjonsnedsetjingar blir framstilt i media, ved å studere korleis makt i språk kan komme til uttrykk. Sjølve analysen er gjort av sju nyheitsartiklar frå ulike aviser, og er blitt sett i samanheng med teori ...

Microbial communities are complex assemblages that are key to ecosystem stability and human health. Synthetic ecology aims to design and construct microbial consortia with reduced complexity that enable innovative applications beyond monocultures. However, their robust and performance-based design is constrained by limited knowledge of growth dynamics and derived binary interactions that are critical ...

Past intensity of methane release from deep-ocean methane hydrates continues to be challenging to reconstruct reliably. Here, we used fossil ostracode fauna paired with foraminiferal δ¹³C values in a marine sediment core from Vestnesa Ridge, western Svalbard margin, to reconstruct methane seepage activity during the late Quaternary and to examine faunal response to deglacial climatic ...

Cell type specific gene expression profiles underlie differences in cell morphology, behaviour, and specialized function. Single cell RNA sequencing can be used to measure gene expression in individual cells, but challenges remain including limited read-depth, artefactual changes due to dissociation from tissue, difficulties in the analysis of fragile or morphologically complex cell types, and bias ...
