I Want to Participate—Communities of Practice in Foraging and Gardening Projects as a Contribution to Social and Cultural Sustainability in Early Childhood Education
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-14)Learning and development in early childhood is highly dependent on social interaction and exploration through continuous encounters with the real world. Foraging and gardening are outdoor pedagogical practices that have relevance to education for sustainability. Previous work suggests that engagement in such activities can be characterized by the concept “community of practice” (CoP). In this paper, ... -
Pan-Arctic suitable habitat model for Greenland halibut
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-08)Deep-sea marine fishes support important fisheries but estimates of their distributions are often incomplete as the data behind them may reflect fishing practices, access rights, or political boundaries, rather than actual geographic distributions. We use a simple suitable habitat model based on bottom depth, temperature, and salinity to estimate the potential distribution of Greenland halibut ... -

Arctic charr populations have declined ... -
Sea trout Salmo trutta in the subarctic: home-bound but large variation in migratory behaviour between and within populations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-28)Anadromous brown trout (sea trout), Salmo trutta, is currently in decline throughout its range, largely due to anthropogenic stressors in freshwater and marine habitats. Acoustic telmetry was utilized to study the marine migration of sea trout post-smolts from three populations in a relatively pristine subarctic fjord system. While at sea, the sea trout spent a substantial part of their time close ... -
Multiple configurations and fluctuating trophic control in the Barents Sea food-web
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-09)The Barents Sea is a subarctic shelf sea which has experienced major changes during the past decades. From ecological time-series, three different food-web configurations, reflecting successive shifts of dominance of pelagic fish, demersal fish, and zooplankton, as well as varying trophic control have been identified in the last decades. This covers a relatively short time-period as available ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-21)Background - Despite extensive cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC), most patients with resectable peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer experience disease relapse. MOC31PE immunotoxin is being explored as a novel treatment option for these patients. MOC31PE targets the cancer-associated epithelial cell adhesion molecule, and kills cancer cells by ... -
Vilkår for gyldig samtykke etter pasient- og brukerrettighetslovens ved ytelse av helsehjelp i kommunale helse- og omsorgstjenester - med særlig vekt på samtykkekompetanse
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-06-15)Avhandlingen behandler tema om gyldig, informert samtykke, og samykkekompetanse ved ytelse av helsehjelp. Pasient- og brukerrettighetsloven skiller mellom helse og omsorgstjenester, og mellom pasient og bruker. Fordi pasienter er gitt en utvidet rett til blant annet informasjon for et gyldig samtykke for helseytelser, vil ikke brukere nyte den samme rettighet. Skillet gir med det ulike juridiske ... -
On Trapped Particle Dynamics in Rotating Frames
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-07-01)The rapid rotation of Jupiter and Saturn, combined with internal source of plasma provided by their moons Io and Enceladus respectively, creates a magnetodisk structure of the planetary magnetic field. The magnetodisk looks like a stretched dipole magnetic field in the equatorial region, where centrifugal force is largest. The centrifugal force, originating in the rotating frame, is known to have ... -
