    • Homelessness, Displacement and Identity: Open City and Home 

      Nilssen, Anniken (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-09-20)
      Abstract This thesis sets out to explore the themes of homelessness, displacement and identity in two contemporary novels: Marilynne Robinson’s Home (2008) and Teju Cole’s Open City (2011). My method involves comparing how temporality (time), space/place and its effects on subjectivity work as means to enhance an understanding of a “homeless” or hybrid condition that is evident both in the immensity ...

    • Group Cohomology and Extensions 

      Breivik, Markus Nordvoll (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-08-31)
      The goal of this thesis is to classify all extensions where the kernel has order p^s and the cokernel has order p^t, p is a prime, and 1 ≤ s,t ≤ 2. We determine (up to weak congruence) the different combinations of kernel, cokernel and operators, and for each case, calculate the second cohomology group. By comparing resolutions, we get an explicit correspondence between the second cohomology group ...

    • En in vitro-studie av antiviral effekt av cidofovirderivatet ODBG-CDV mot BK polyomavirus-replikasjon 

      Bjørkøy, Magnus Bjørgan (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-09-18)
      Bakgrunn: Polyomavirus BK (BKPyV) infiserer omtrent 80% av befolkningen tidlig i livet og etablerer en livslang infeksjon. Viruset forårsaker sjeldent sykdom, men kan ved nyretransplantasjon reaktiveres og forårsake polyomavirusassosiert nefropati (PyVAN) med betydelig risiko for grafttap. Ingen effektive antivirale medikamenter mot BKPyV-infeksjoner finnes i dag. Cidofovir (CDV) har sporadisk blitt ...

    • Kvinners opplevelse av å føde langt hjemmefra 

      Ramberg, Ida Karoline Sand (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-09-18)
      Fødetilbudet i Norge har vært gjennom en stor omveltning de siste tiårene der mange klinikker i distriktene har blitt stengt. Det er senere vist at det kan være trygt å drifte jordmorstyrte fødestuer i distriktene dersom det gjøres adekvat selektering av gravide ut fra risikofaktorer. På den måten kan kvinnen tilbys den beredskapen hun trenger. Er ikke den beredskapen tilgjengelig lokalt må hun reise ...

    • "Æ syns han e litt mere dialæktat enn mæ". En sosiolingvistisk variasjonsstudie blant ungdom på Drag 

      Andreassen, Line-Therese (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-05-15)
      I dette mastergradsprosjektet ligger fokuset på talemålsvariasjon blant ungdommer fra språkkontaktområdet Drag, og hvilke faktorer som kan være med på å forklare disse variasjonsmønstrene. Drag er et lite tettsted i Tysfjord kommune i Nordland, som ligger om lag 20 mil nord for Bodø og 12 mil sør for Narvik. I denne studien har jeg valgt å plassere dragsdialekten nord i saltenområdet, siden Drag ...

    • Defining compulsive exercise in eating disorders: acknowledging the exercise paradox and exercise obsessions 

      Bratland-Sanda, Solfrid; Mathisen, Therese Fostervold; Sundgot-Borgen, Jorunn; Rosenvinge, Jan H (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-04)
      Recently Dittmer et al. (JED 6:1–9, 2018). suggested a transdiagnostic definition and a clinical assessment for compulsive exercise in adolescents and adults with eating disorders. In this letter to the editor, we extend the transdiagnostic bridge to the DSM-5-criteria for obsessive-compulsive disorders and hence raise the issue of exercise obsession without compulsive exercise actions. We argue ...

    • World Government, Social Contract and Legitimacy 

      Abumere, Frank Aragbonfoh (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-22)
      The notion of world government is anathema to most political theorists. This is the case due to the arguments that a world government is infeasible, undesirable and unnecessary. This threefold argument is partly predicated on the assumption that in world politics the larger a geographical and political entity is, the greater the chance of it becoming unstable, ungovernable and, ultimately, illegitimate. ...

    • Advancing research for the management of long-lived species: A case study on the Greenland Shark 

      Edwards, Jena E.; Hiltz, Elizabeth; Broell, Franziska; Bushnell, Peter G.; Campana, Steven E.; Christiansen, Jørgen Schou; Devine, Brynn M.; Gallant, Jeffrey J.; Hedges, Kevin J.; MacNeil, M. Aaron; McMeans, Bailey C.; Nielsen, Julius; Præbel, Kim; Skomal, Gregory B.; Steffensen, John Fleng; Walter, Ryan P.; Watanabe, Yuuki Y.; VanderZwaag, David L.; Hussey, Nigel E. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-02)
      Long-lived species share life history traits such as slow growth, late maturity, and low fecundity, which lead to slow recovery rates and increase a population’s vulnerability to disturbance. The Greenland shark (Somniosus microcephalus) has recently been recognized as the world’s longest-lived vertebrate, but many questions regarding its biology, physiology, and ecology remain unanswered. Here we ...

    • The fight to keep resistance at bay, epidemiology of carbapenemase producing organisms (CPOs), vancomycin resistant enterococci (VRE) and methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in Norway, 2006-2017 

      Elstrøm, Petter; Astrup, Elisabeth; Hegstad, Kristin; Samuelsen, Ørjan; Enger, Hege; Kacelnik, Oliver (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-04)
      <p><i>Introduction - </i>Scandinavian countries have traditionally had a low prevalence of resistant organisms, but have in recent years experienced a change in their epidemiology. We aim to describe the epidemiology of carbapenemase-producing organisms (CPOs), vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and methicillin-resistant <i>S. aureus</i> (MRSA) in Norway, measure the importance of infections ...

    • "If you do not birget [manage] then you don't belong here": a qualitative focus group study on the cultural meanings of suicide among Indigenous Sámi in arctic Norway 

      Stoor, Jon Petter Anders; Berntsen, Gro; Hjelmeland, Heidi Marie; Silviken, Anne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-01-24)
      Suicide is a major public health issue across the Arctic, especially among Indigenous Peoples. The aim of this study was to explore and describe cultural meanings of suicide among Sámi in Norway. Five open-ended focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted with 22 Sámi (20) and non-Sámi (2) participants in South, Lule, Marka, coastal and North Sámi communities in Norway. FGDs were recorded, transcribed ...

    • A study of the socioeconomic factors influencing migration in Russia 

      Wang, Li; Huang, Jixia; Cai, Hongyan; Liu, Hengzi; Lu, Jinmei; Yang, Linsheng (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-03-19)
      Russia has experienced population decline in years and the economic development in Russia is largely restricted by labor shortage, particularly for the Far North and East region. In order to explore the migration mechanisms, six socioeconomic factors were selected to explore the influences on the net migration. Data from the 82 regions covering four time periods (2000, 2005, 2010 and 2015) was ...

    • Excess water storage induced by viscous strain localization during high-pressure shear experiment 

      Précigout, Jacques; Stünitz, Holger; Villeneuve, Johan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-03-05)
      Strain localization in viscously deformed rocks commonly results in fine-grained shear zones where massive fluid circulation is regularly observed. Recently attributed to strain-induced pumping, this phenomenon may have major implications for the distribution of ores deposits and rock rheology. However, although grain size reduction and/or creep cavitation have been proposed as important processes, ...

    • Culturalisation, Homogenisation, Assimilation? Intersectional Perspectives on the Life Experiences of Sami People with Disabilities 

      Fylling, Ingrid; Melbøe, Line (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-16)
      Sami people experience a wide range of challenges in their dealings with health and social services (Blix 2016). However, little is known so far about the circumstances for disabled people of a Sami background (Huuva 2014). Since previous research has shown that people with disabilities have poorer living conditions and fewer opportunities for social participation than the general population (Kittelsaa, ...

    • Digitalized manufacturing logistics in engineer-to-order operations 

      Strandhagen, Jo Wessel; Buer, Sven-Vegard; Semini, Marco; Alfnes, Erlend (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2019)
      The high complexity in Engineer-To-Order (ETO) operations causes major challenges for manufacturing logistics, especially in complex ETO, i.e. one-of-a-kind production. Increased digitalization of manufacturing logistics processes and activities can facilitate more efficient coordination of the material and information flows for manufacturing operations in general. However, it is not clear how to ...

    • Giant group I intron in a mitochondrial genome is removed by RNA back-splicing 

      Chi, Sylvia Ighem; Dahl, Mikael; Emblem, Åse; Johansen, Steinar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-06-01)
      <p><i>Background - </i>The mitochondrial genomes of mushroom corals (Corallimorpharia) are remarkable for harboring two complex group I introns; ND5-717 and COI-884. How these autocatalytic RNA elements interfere with mitochondrial RNA processing is currently not known. Here, we report experimental support for unconventional processing events of ND5-717 containing RNA. <p><i>Results - </i>We obtained ...

    • Biomechanical differences in double poling between sexes and level of performance during a classical cross-country skiing competition 

      Jonsson, Malin; Welde, Boye; Stoggl, Thomas Leonhard (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-12)
      Biomechanical differences in double poling (DP) between sex and performance level were investigated in female and male cross-country skiers during a classical race (10/15 km). Skiers were divided into faster and slower on basis of race performance: females faster (n=20), females slower (n=20), males faster (n=20), and males slower (n=20). Based on video analysis while DP in a flat section of the ...

    • The effect of pole length on physiological and perceptual responses during G3 roller ski skating on uphill terrain 

      Torvik, Per Øyvind; Heimburg, Erna Dianne von; Sende, Torkel; Welde, Boye (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-22)
      The benefits of using longer than self-selected poles have been shown in double poling, but these potential benefits have not been examined in the gear 3 ski skating sub-technique (G3), during which the poling movement is very similar to double poling. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of longer than self-selected poles on physiological and perceptual responses in the G3 sub-technique. ...

    • Being a participant matters: Event-related potentials show that markedness modulates person agreement in Spanish 

      Bañón, José Alemán; Rothman, Jason (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-22)
      The present study uses event-related potentials to examine subject–verb person agreement in Spanish, with a focus on how markedness with respect to the speech participant status of the subject modulates processing. Morphological theory proposes a markedness distinction between first and second person, on the one hand, and third person on the other. The claim is that both the first and second persons ...
