Avhandlingen tar sikte på å analysere midlertidig lov 27. mars 2020 nr. 17 om forskriftshjemmel for å avhjelpe konsekvenser av utbrudd av Covid-19 (koronaloven). Oppgaven fokuserer på å analysere forskjellene mellom forslaget til loven, som ble fremmet i Prop. 56 L (2019-2020), og den endelig vedtatte loven.

Avhandlingen gjelder fredsplikt, en av de mest sentrale rettslige mekanismer innen kollektiv arbeidsrett. Fredsplikt innebærer at hverken arbeidsgiver eller arbeidstaker kan benytte arbeidskamp; der det gjelder fredsplikt er streik og lockout forbudt. Fredsplikten skal sikre forutberegnelighet og stabilitet i arbeidslivet, samtidig som den skal hindre usunn og arbeiderfiendtlig konkurranse. Den ...

Aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae) cause significant damage and transmit viruses to various crop plants. We aimed to evaluate how the infectious status of aphids influences their interaction with potential hosts. Two aphid (Myzus persicae and Rhopalosiphum padi) and plant (Nicotiana tabacum and Triticum aestivum) species were used. The preferences of aphids towards healthy, virus-infected (Potato Leafroll ...

It is not known whether the relationships of lean mass (LM) and fat mass (FM) with bone microarchitecture and geometry are causal and/or are because of confounders, including familial confounders arising from genetic and environment effects shared by relatives. We tested the hypotheses that: (i) LM is associated with cortical bone traits, (ii) FM is associated with trabecular bone traits, and (iii) ...

The loss of Arctic sea-ice has been implicated with severe cold and snowy mid-latitude winters. However, the mechanisms and a direct link remain elusive due to limited observational evidence. Here we present atmospheric water vapour isotope measurements from Arctic Finland during ‘the Beast from the East’—a severe anticyclonic outbreak that brought heavy snowfall and freezing across Europe in February ...

This work introduces a novel method that combines machine learning (ML) techniques with dual-polarimetric (dual-pol) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) observations for estimating quad-polarimetric (quad-pol) parameters, which are presumed to contain geophysical sea ice information. In the training phase, the output parameters are generated from quad-pol observations obtained by Radarsat-2 (RS2), and ...

Recent discoveries of high levels of biological activity in the Arctic marine ecosystems during the polar night raise questions regarding the ecophysiology of the pelagic postlarval daubed shanny Leptoclinus maculatus. Of special interest is the composition of the lipid sac—a unique feature not found in other Arctic fishes. Analysis of the fatty acid content of major classes of lipids as membrane—total ...

<p>Tripartite motif family proteins (TRIMs) are a wide family of E3 ligases involved in the control of several cellular processes such as intracellular signaling, innate immunity, transcription, cell cycle regulation and carcinogenesis. In recent years, some members of this family have been found to have a role in autophagy. <p>The central theme of this thesis is the role of two TRIM proteins in ...

This study investigates the acquisition of articles in L2 English by L1 speakers of Dagbani, a Gur language spoken in Ghana. Dagbani differs from English in that it has two definite articles, no indefinite article, and a zero-article which may express definiteness, indefiniteness as well as genericity. The study consisted of a Forced-choice task (FCT) and an Acceptability judgement task (AJT) which ...

Study Design - A cross-sectional study with a test–retest design.<p> <p>Objective - To translate and culturally adapt the numerical rating scale (NRS) for neck pain intensity and the Neck Disability Index (NDI), and asses their measurement properties in a Nepalese neck pain population.<p> <p>Summary of Background Data - Neck pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders in Nepal. ...
