The global refugee crisis is one of today’s most urgent humanitarian and global health challenges. While the importance of addressing mental health and psychosocial well-being in humanitarian contexts is increasingly recognized, low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where most refugees reside, face severe gaps in scalable, contextually tailored interventions. This dissertation focuses on addressing ...

This dissertation proposes a critical phenomenology of immigrant indebtedness. I define immigrant indebtedness as a particular relation of debt where what is owed is gratitude, and which takes on a special meaning when the debtor in question is racially construed as immigrant. I argue that this debt-relation establishes the person construed as immigrant as a perpetual guest and eternal debtor, ...

Denne oppgaven er en utforsking av spenningen mellom prosa og poesi i Gulliksens diktsamling. Metoden for oppgaven er litterær analyse og nærlesing. Jeg har valgt å analysere ett dikt, og etterfølgende noen motiver og trekk som repeteres gjennom tekstsamlingen. Analysen vil ha en form- og sjangerteoretisk tilnærming der jeg hovedsakelig bruker teorier om form fra Atle Kittang og litterære register ...

I 2050 skal Norge bli et lavutslippssamfunn, og for å nå denne målsetningen ses det blant annet til hvordan økt utnytting av overskuddsvarme bidrar til å redusere fremtidens energibehov. Mengden overskuddsvarme er i dag omfattende, men utnytting av denne ressursen er foreløpig på et begrenset nivå. Årsaken kommer av store investeringskostnader og lang tilbakebetalingstid ved implementering av ...

Spray duration and frequency are critical for estimating ice accretion on marine structures. The present expressions for these parameters are limited by insufficient field data, primarily due to inadequate measurement techniques. To address this issue, the SPRICE sea-spray measurement device was developed, incorporating capacitive sensos to accurately measure spray parameters such as the duration ...

Endothermic animals have inherently high metabolic rates, granting advantages over ectotherms such as increased aerobic capacity, thermal independence, and niche expansion. However, the energy demands of endothermy increase disproportionately with decreasing body size. To mitigate these energetic costs, some endotherms employ metabolic flexibility strategies like torpor, a profound metabolic rate ...

Climate driven northward boreal forest expansion into the tundra biome controlled by permafrost will play a major role in global emissions trajectories. Yet our limited understanding of the interplay between vegetation and permafrost makes predictions of changing boreal forest extent difficult. We analyse fossil pollen, stable carbon isotopes, and lignin and levoglucosan biomarkers from Tortonian ...

Background - Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) herding is based on access to seasonal pastures. Pastureland is, however, being lost and fragmented due to e.g. climate change, human activities, and predators, creating an increasing need for feeding and fencing. This alters disease occurrence, leading to a greater need for disease investigation tools. Knowledge of the activation of immune pathways ...

The projected transition of the central Arctic Ocean (CAO) into a warmer, seasonally ice-free ocean requires more knowledge of this environment to predict changes in the structure and dynamics of its ecosystems. We aimed to compare the state and underlying processes of Nansen Basin and Amundsen Basin ecosystems observed in August–September 2021 and assess impacts of Atlantic Water inflow and fresher ...

Tekstsamlingen består av fem originalskrevne faglige innlegg i samband med det treårige prosjektet "IBID-ledelse". Prosjektet er et samarbeid mellom ILP/UiT og 15 barnehager under stiftelsen "IBID SA". Tekstene inneholder fagstoff om lederskap, håndtering av oppgave- og arbeidspress, kommunikasjon, metoder i barnehagenes utviklingsarbeid samt valg av mål for utviklingsarbeid. Tekstsamlingen ...
