Bakgrunnen for denne oppgaven er behovet for forskning på læreres valg av undervisningsmetoder i friluftsliv med orientering som undervisningstema på ungdomstrinnet. Valg av lærerens undervisningsmetoder i friluftsliv kan tolkes til å inneha en historisk plassering i norske læreplaner helt siden mønsterplan fra 1974 og frem til dagens læreplan læreplanverket for kunnskapsløftet fra 2006. Likevel ...

Denne studien tar for seg ulike nyutdannede læreres opplevelser og erfaringer fra deres første tid i yrkeslivet. Bakgrunnen for studien var en interesse for hvilke innvirkende faktorer som spiller inn for opplevelsen av overgangen fra student til yrkesaktiv lærer. Det stadige fokuset på læreryrket og beslutningen om å gjøre all grunnskoleutdanning femårig, var med på å spisse fokuset i avhandlingen. ...

The thesis is based upon data from two cross-sectional population-based surveys, the SAMINOR 1 Survey (2003-2004) and the SAMINOR 2 Clinical Survey (2012-2014). The prevalence of pre-diabetes and diabetes mellitus among Sami and non-Sami inhabitants of the 24 municipalities from North- and Mid-Norway was estimated in the SAMINOR 1 Survey. No statistically significant difference in the prevalence of ...

<i>Aims</i>: Educational inequality in cardiovascular disease and in modifiable risk factors changes over time and between birth cohorts. We aimed to assess how cardiovascular disease risk factors mediate educational differences in premature cardiovascular disease mortality and how this varies over birth cohorts and sex.<p> <p><i>Methods</i>: We followed 360,008 40–45-year-olds born in the ...

Some surgeons believe that infraclavicular brachial plexus blocks tends to result in supination of the hand/forearm, which may make surgical access to the dorsum of the hand more difficult. We hypothesised that this supination may be reduced by the addition of a suprascapular nerve block. In a double‐blind, randomised, placebo‐controlled study, our primary outcome measure was the amount of supination ...

<p><i>Background - </i>Ultrasound guidance has been shown to reduce the minimum effective volume (MEV) of local anaesthetics for several peripheral nerve blocks. Although the lateral sagittal infraclavicular block (LSIB) is a well‐established anaesthesia method, MEV for this technique has not been established. Our aim with this study was to determine the MEV using ropivacaine 7.5 mg/ml for the LSIB ...

Marine icing is considered a major concern for vessels operating in the Arctic Ocean. Interaction between vessels and waves is the major source of sea spray that, under certain conditions, can lead to ice accretion on the vessels and thus create hazardous situations. Various models have been developed for the estimation of ice accretion rate using meteorological and oceanographic parameters. Various ...
