      Førde, Olav Helge; Breidablik, Hans Johan; Petter, Øgar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011-10-04)
      BAKGRUNN - Sogn og Fjordane fylke har i landsmålestokk, og serleg i høve til dei andre fylka i Helse Vest, hatt eit høgt forbruk av spesialisthelsetenester. Utover det at fylket har to små lokalsjukehus, har lite vore kjent som kunne forklare det høge forbruket, og serskilt ikkje om det eksisterer kontrastar i forbruk mellom kommunane i fylket.<p> <p>MATERIALE OG METODE - Med utgangspunkt i ...
    • Widespread partial-depth hydrofractures in ice sheets driven by supraglacial streams 

      Chandler, David Matthew; Hubbard, Alun (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-19)
      Dramatic supraglacial lake drainage events in Greenland and Antarctica are enabled by rapid hydrofracture propagation through ice over 1 km thick. Here we present a slower mode of hydrofracture, where hairline surface fractures intersect supraglacial streams, and hypothesize that penetration depth is critically limited by water supply and englacial refreezing. We develop a model of stream-fed ...

    • Stereotypes and Mathematics: A Quantitative Approach to the Draw a Mathematician Test 

      Dalvik, Johanne Sofie (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2022-12-13)
      It is important to uncover attitudes and perceptions about mathematics, especially since attitudes can play a part when students choose to, or not to continue with mathematical studies. The “Draw a mathematician test” (DAMT) has been utilized to assess the perceptions of mathematicians, but not many have addressed the connections between a negative perception of mathematicians and a negative attitude ...
    • «Det er jo typisk at de skal drive på med krisereparasjon når du er nedenfor og har lyst til å ta livet ditt» - En kvalitativ studie av innsatte sine erfaringer med å ta i bruk selvhjelp i fengsel 

      Bakke, Tora Merete; Sivertsen, Line Fosse (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2022-12-08)
      Den psykiske helsen er dårligere blant innsatte i fengsel enn i den øvrige befolkningen. Selvhjelp kan være et tiltak for å bedre den psykiske helsen, men for at det skal fungere for innsatte må det være tilpasset fengselslivet. I 2019 startet SIFER Nord et prosjekt med mål om å utvikle et selvhjelpshefte for innsatte i fengsel (SELFI-heftet). I denne studien undersøker vi hvilke faktorer som ...
