    • Antecedents and Consequences of Self-Respect in Norwegian Youth: A Correlational Study Among High School Students in Norway 

      Olsen, Kine Bjørneby (Master thesis, 2025)
      Self-respect, as defined by Honneth (1996), is viewing oneself as a person with equal rights as others. However, this definition of self-respect has received limited attention in psychological research. Emerging research on this topic suggests that repeatedly experiencing discrimination can undermine self-respect. Thus, those who have faced gender discrimination may struggle to internalize high ...

    • Modelling ice throw trajectories from wind turbines 

      Hjallar, Milla Regine Antonsen (Master thesis, 2025)
      Wind turbines in cold climates can occasionally experience ice throws that travel significant distances, posing a low-probability but high-consequence safety risk. Current guidelines typically rely on the empirical Seifert safety distance, defined as d = k x (H + D), where k is the throw factor – commonly set to 1.5, H is the hub height, and D is the rotor diameter. However, both observational field ...
    • Studying the adverse effects of polypharmacy on liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSEC) in mouse liver-derived in vitro models: advancing from 2D to 3D systems 

      Hovland, Dina Bertine Spigseth (Master thesis, 2025)
      Polypharmacy, the concurrent use of multiple medications, is a rising phenomenon due to the aging population. In vivo studies in humans and mice show that polypharmacy reduces cognitive and physical function, which effects cannot be explained by single drugs alone. These studies suggest that the total drug load is key, but the precise source of dysfunction remains unclear. One proposed mechanism is ...
    • The impact of DNase I and LMW heparin on systemic lupus erythematosus: Assessing renal inflammation, immune complex deposition, and tubular epithelial responses in IMQ-treated NZB/W-F1 and RPTEC/hTERT1 models 

      Ravnestad, Sara Strømmen (Master thesis, 2025)
      Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease marked by production of anti-dsDNA autoantibodies, and immune complex (IC) deposition, particularly in the kidneys, leading to lupus nephritis (LN). DNase I degrades extracellular DNA and low molecular weight (LMW) heparin is suggested to support DNase I function and reduce IC formation. The main aim of this project was to investigate whether ...

    • Hvordan anvender og vurderer piloter i Widerøe unfit? 

      Nordang, Jon Morten; Ernstsen, Yngve (Master thesis, 2025)
      Denne studien har undersøkt hvordan piloter i Widerøe forstår og anvender begrepet unfit. Studien benyttet en kvantitativ tilnærming med en spørreundersøkelse besvart av 104 Widerøe-piloter (21 % av utvalget). Hele 62,5 % av respondentene oppgir at de i løpet av de siste 24 månedene har vært på jobb i situasjoner hvor de i ettertid eller underveis tenkte at de burde meldt seg unfit. Årsakene er ...
    • Vurdering av skriftlige elevbesvarelser i matematikk 

      Jakobsen, Jakob Berglund (Master thesis, 2025)
      Ifølge læreplanene i matematikk skal underveisvurderingen «bidra til å fremme læring og til å utvikle kompetanse i matematikk» (Utdanningsdirektoratet, 2020). All vurdering som ikke er summativ skal brukes til å fremme og øke elevens kompetanse (Engh & Gran, 2021). Med dette i bakhodet og at vurdering i seg selv er komplekst, ønsket jeg å undersøke hvordan lærere begrunner sine vurderinger av ...
    • Landing a Multirotor on a Vessel at Sea 

      Tøllefsen, Andreas (Master thesis, 2025)
      Operating unmanned aircraft from vessels in the open ocean is demanding both on the personnel involved in the operation and on the aircraft. The work presented here aims to alleviate the workload on pilots and other personnel by introducing a higher level of automation in the landing phase of a flight. This will help create value for all parts of the supply chain, from product developers through ...

A single individual was convicted, with findings from the Accident Investigation ...
    • Novel Guidance Schemes For GT Missions Master Thesis 

      Andersen, Joakim (Master thesis, 2025)
      Ensuring the long-term stability of a gravity-tractor spacecraft near a binary asteroid demands guidance laws that can withstand the nonlinear, multi-body dynamics and uncertainties of space. We derive and compare three controllers the PD+, the LQR, and a High-Order Sliding-Mode Controller (HOSMC) with super-twisting, for both a two-body approximation and the full circular restricted three-body ...
    • Bayesian framework for curve alignment and change point detection applied to marine sediment core data 

      Knudsen, Jørgen (Master thesis, 2025)
      Paleoclimate proxy records such as marine sediment cores are crucial for understanding past climate conditions. The deposition rate for these archives may vary dramatically both within individual cores and between them, obfuscating the temporal expression of events. Accurate alignment of cores is therefore critical for determining extent and rate of past climate change. Current methods are performed ...

      Kostak, Enis Noyan (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2025-08-20)
      <p>The increasing demand for marine bioresources to support aquaculture and global food security has driven the interest in mesopelagic fish, <i>Calanus sp.</i>, and northern krill (<i>Meganyctiphanes norvegica</i>) as alternative marine feed resources. However, efficient harvesting of these species presents significant challenges due to their small size, which requires the use of small-meshed trawls ...
    • Size selectivity of Muller's pearlside (Maurolicus muelleri), glacier lanternfish (Benthosema glaciale) and krill in trawls targeting the mesopelagic fish 

      Kostak, Enis Noyan; Herrmann, Bent; Grimaldo, Eduardo; Brinkhof, Jesse (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2025-01)
      The growing interest in harvesting mesopelagic fish increases the need for knowledge about trawl designs with high catch efficiency. Limited swimming ability of small mesopelagic species makes it important to consider potential net selectivity along the entire trawl body. Net makers designing trawls for harvesting mesopelagic species need to know which mesh sizes can be used in the low tapered belly ...
    • Estimating size selectivity of Calanus spp. in plankton trawls: effect of mesh size for commercial fishery 

      Kostak, Enis Noyan; Herrmann, Bent; Grimaldo, Eduardo; Brinkhof, Jesse (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2025-04-24)
      <i>Calanus</i> spp. are marine zooplankton that are considered as a potential source for aquaculture feed, due to their high abundance in the North Atlantic. The diminutive size (< 5 mm) of these zooplankton necessitates the use of fine-meshed trawls to harvest them efficiently. However, the use of fine-meshed trawls leads to high drag and thus energy demand to tow the trawl. Therefore, it is of ...
