Dette er også noe vi selv har erfart fra ulike roller i forskjellige organisasjoner. Det er lagt til grunn tre forskningsspørsmål for studien: 1. Hva er konteksten for ledere i en kommune? 2. Hvilke faktorer hemmer ...

    • Does Arctic warming reduce preservation of organic matter in Barents Sea sediments? 

      Faust, Johan Christoph; Stevenson, Mark A.; Abbott, Geoffrey D.; Knies, Jochen; Tessin, Allyson; Mannion, Isobel; Ford, Ailbe; Hilton, Robert; Peakall, Jeffrey; März, Christian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-31)
      Over the last few decades, the Barents Sea experienced substantial warming, an expansion of relatively warm Atlantic water and a reduction in sea ice cover. This environmental change forces the entire Barents Sea ecosystem to adapt and restructure and therefore changes in pelagic–benthic coupling, organic matter sedimentation and long-term carbon sequestration are expected. Here we combine new and ...

    • Predicting liquid loss of frozen and thawed cod from hyperspectral imaging 

      Anderssen, Kathryn Elizabeth; Stormo, Svein Kristian; Skåra, Torstein; Skjelvareid, Martin Hansen; Heia, Karsten (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-20)
      As the ability to appraise the quality of every fish in a delivery in a consistent, objective, and rapid manner has numerous advantages for both sellers and buyers, there has been much research into methods to achieve this. One possible proxy for quality assessment is liquid loss, which correlates with undesirable sensory attributes. This study evaluated whether hyperspectral imaging could predict ...

    • ‘I will learn from it for as long as I live’ – religious reading and functional literacy skills 

      Moilanen, Mikko; Sommerseth, Hilde Leikny (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-02)
      Max Weber claims in his well-known book, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, that the emergence of capitalism had its roots in the Protestant work ethic. Becker and Woessmann’s seminal 2009 paper finds that the more likely relationship between Protestantism and economic prosperity runs via literacy. They claim that Protestants unintendedly acquired literacy skills that functioned as ...

    • miRNAs Predicted to Regulate Host Anti-viral Gene Pathways in IPNV-Challenged Atlantic Salmon Fry Are Affected by Viral Load, and Associated With the Major IPN Resistance QTL Genotypes in Late Infection 

      Woldemariam, Nardos Tesfaye; Agafonov, Oleg; Sindre, Hilde; Høyheim, Bjørn; Houston, Ross D.; Robledo, Diego; Bron, James E.; Andreassen, Rune (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-11)
      Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) infection has been a major problem in salmonid aquaculture. Marker-assisted selection of individuals with resistant genotype at the major IPN quantitative trait locus (IPN-QTL) has significantly reduced mortality in recent years. We have identified host miRNAs that respond to IPNV challenge in salmon fry that were either homozygous resistant (RR) or ...

    • Prognostic indicators of survival for patients with oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma in Norway. Outcomes in a retrospective, multicenter cohort, with special focus on oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma, 2005-2009 

      Bjerkli, Inger-Heidi (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2020-10-08)
      Oral cavity cancer (OCC) is the most frequent of head and neck cancers, most being squamous cell carcinomas (SCC). Within the oral cavity, the oral tongue is the most common site of cancer. These cancers are very aggressive, with poor survival. The treatment decision is based upon classifications of tumor (T), lymph node (N), and metastasis (M), although tumors with the same classification may act ...

    • Humanoid Robot handling Hand-Signs Recognition 

      Amberkar, Mayuresh (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-08-16)
      Recent advancements in human-robot interaction have led to tremendous improvement for humanoid robots but still lacks social acceptance among people. Though verbal communication is the primary means of human-robot interaction, non-verbal communication that is proven to be an integral part of the human interactions is not widely used in humanoid robots. This thesis aims to achieve human-robot interaction ...

    • Towards Improved Support for Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types 

      Rostad, Sigbjørn (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-06-30)
      Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs) are distributed data types which ensure Strong Eventual Consistency (SEL), and also has properties such as commutativity and idempotence. There are many variations of CRDTs, and the ones we will study are state-based delta CRDTs. State-based CRDTs is a variation where the CRDT instances synchronize by sending their state to each other. An improvement to ...
