Forholdet mellom Den europeiske union (EU) og Norge og Danmark er i stadig endring. Den europeiske union har ekspandert, både i antall medlemsland og i antall politiske saker (Heidar og Bakke, Politikk i Europa 2013). Utviklingen der grensen mellom de europeiske landene viskes ut, kalles Europeisering. Utviklingen mot at europeere utvikler felles mål, felles regelverk, handler mer med hverandre og ...

Tørking av fisk ute på hjell er en tradisjonell og mye brukt metode for konservering av fisk. Kvaliteten på sluttproduktet blir i stor grad avhengig av værforhold under tørking og kvaliteten på råstoffet som henges. Når fisken tørkes ute blir den utsatt for variasjon i temperatur, vind, sol og fuktighet. Til sammen gir dette en tørket og modnet fisk som har karakteristisk lukt, smak og konsistens. ...

Shrimp feed formulations have moved towards less fish meal and more of the readily available and cheaper plant proteins. To counteract the lower attractiveness and palatability of plant proteins, feeds are supplemented with ingredients known to have chemoattractive properties that will increase feed intake. This study investigated the putative chemoattractive effect of Calanus finmarchicus hydrolysate, ...

Plastic pollution of the ocean is a top environmental concern. Biodegradable plastics present a potential “solution” in combating the accumulation of plastic pollution, and their production is currently increasing. While these polymers will contribute to the future plastic marine debris budget, very little is known still about the behavior of biodegradable plastics in different natural environments. ...

This study investigates if using mini-whiteboards can change communication practices in a classroom using a before-and-after approach. Change in teaching practices was analysed using a framework described by Brendefur and Frykholm (2000). The data for this paper were collected on a lesson before the introduction of the mini-whiteboards, and a lesson three months after the introduction of the tools. ...

One of the most promising utilisations of Artificial Intelligence in healthcare is Clinical Decision Support (AI-CDS) systems: AI systems that support clinical assessments and decision-making by producing relevant classifications and predictions that may be relied on by clinicians and patients. However, an oft-cited concern is that AI systems can be ‘biased’ – a nebulous term often used to describe ...

Animacy plays a key role for human cognition, which is also reflected in the way humans process language. However, while experiments on sentence processing show reliable effects of animacy on word order and grammatical function assignment, effects of animacy on conjoined noun phrases (e.g., fish and shoe vs. shoe and fish) have yielded inconsistent results. In the present study, we tested the ...

Consequentialism is often criticized as being overly demanding, and this overdemandingness is seen as sufficient to reject it as a moral theory. This paper takes the plausibility and coherence of this objection—the Demandingness Objection—as a given. Our question, therefore, is how to respond to the Objection. We put forward a response relying on the framework of institutional consequentialism we ...

The proliferation of high-content microscopes ( 32 GB for a single image) and the increasing amount of image data generated daily have created a pressing need for compact storage solutions. Not only is the storage of such massive image data cumbersome, but it also requires a significant amount of storage and data bandwidth for transmission. To address this issue, we present a novel deep learning ...

The COVID-19 pandemic had negative effects on many people's well-being and quality of life. In the present work, we focused on Norwegian mothers with elementary school children, and investigated whether their well-being, stress, and worries (and the relationships between them) changed across the early months of the pandemic. We collected data at two time points in 2020. In June 2020, 231 mothers ...
