Human Factor Issues in Remote Ship Operations: Lesson Learned by Studying Different Domains
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-05)The idea of remote controlling ships for operational and commercial uses has developed beyond concepts. Controlling and monitoring vessels from a distant location requires updating the concept and requirements of shore control centers (SCCs), where human operators control the fleet via cameras, GPS, and many other types of sensors. While remote ship operation promises to reduce operational and ... -
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for patients with Alzheimer’s Disease - Exploring the influence of different stimulation parameters on treatment success
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2023-10-20)The aim of this thesis was to explore the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) as a symptom modifying treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. tDCS is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique where weak direct current is delivered to the scalp, causing neuromodulation as it reaches the cortex. Even though promising, the results of clinicals studies have been mixed. This thesis explored ... -
Assimilation of high-resolution ice charts in a coupled ocean-sea-ice model
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2019)In this study, we show assimilation results from a coupled ocean sea-ice model. The model has a horizontal resolution of 2.5 km. In the assimilation system, we assimilate high-resolution ice charts, structured on a 1 km grid. We compare the assimilation of passive microwave observations with the assimilation of ice charts. It is shown that the ice charts have a larger impact on the assimilation ... -
The Norwegian TRC: Truth, Reconciliation, and Public Engagement
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-19)In 2018, the Norwegian Parliament appointed the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to investigate the Norwegianisation policy and injustice against the Sámi and Kven/Norwegian Finns. We focus on the commission’s public engagement, and emphasise Sámi and Kven/Norwegian Finns’ perceptions and expectations in relation to these efforts. The mandate’s goal is to establish a common understanding of the ... -
Benthic foraminiferal investigations in Middle to Late Quaternary sections of Kongsfjordhallet, north-west Svalbard
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-29)Stratigraphic sites in north-west Svalbard record at least six significant glacial advances in the last 200 Ky, and sediments deposited under locally high relative sea level during intervening interstadials or interglacials contain abundant benthic foraminifera. We present a biostratigraphic record from the Kongsfjordhallet site in the Kongsfjorden area that covers five high relative sea-level events ... -
The Endothelial Cell Response to Inflammation, the Functional Role of the Endothelial-enriched Protein KANK3 and the Adipose Tissue Transcriptome
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2023-10-25)<p>A compilation of three complementary projects explores various facets of endothelial cell biology and transcriptomics, illuminating the intricate dynamics underlying cellular responses to specific stimuli across different tissues. <p>The first project examines how endothelial cells react to the inflammatory molecule tumour necrosis factor (TNF), by studying these cells over time after TNF ... -

Vardøhus festnings betydning i Christian IVs ekspansive nordområdepolitikk 1596-1648
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2022)Perioden 1596-1648 markerer regjeringstiden for kong Christian IV. I første del av hans tid på den dansknorske tronen er det konfliktene i nordområdene som står i fokus for kongens innenriks- og utenrikspolitikk. Ett periodeskille innen denne første halvdel av kongens tid på tronen er 1613 som markerer utgangen på Kalmarkrigen. Fredsslutningene fikk stor betydning for Nord-Norge og for viktigheten ... -
Lávvu and mathematics
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2019)<p><i>Sápmi</i> is the Sámi term for the Sámi homeland and society, the land area extends from Central Norway, Sweden and Finland to the Kola Peninsula in Russia. In Norway, the Sámi as a population has status as an indigenous people, which means that the Sámi have the right to develop their own culture and language on their own premises. Traditionally the Sámi people has lived as hunters and gatherers ... -
A new preparation method for preparation of liposomes-in-hydrogels primed for treatment of skin diseases
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2014)<p>Liposomes are spherical vesicles that form spontaneously when phospholipids are dispersed in an aqueous medium. However, to get liposomes with a more unimodal size distribution, liposomes are usually processed further to reduced size and lammellarity, typically by extrusion, sonication or homogenization. <p>Liposome formulations for topical application needs a vehicle to assure the desirable ... -
Auxiliary Network: Scalable and agile online learning for dynamic system with inconsistently available inputs
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2022-04-13)Streaming classification methods assume the number of input features is fixed and always received. But in many real-world scenarios, some features are reliable while others are unreliable or inconsistent. We propose a novel online deep learning-based model called Auxiliary Network (Aux-Net), which is scalable and agile and can handle any number of inputs at each time instance. The Aux-Net model is ... -
"Når det blåser i fra ØST" - Om bruken av økosystemtjeneste-perspektivet i kystsoneplanleggingen
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2019)Denne rapporten er et resultat av prosjektet Coreplan, som har undersøkt om metoder og tilnærminger som finnes i litteraturen om økosystemtjenester kan bidra til å styrke kystsoneforvaltningen. I rapporten diskuterer vi utviklingstrekk i norsk kystsoneplanlegging og hvordan utviklingen i bruken av kysten kan stille nye krav til kystsoneplanleggingen. Vi forklarer bakgrunnen for begrepet økosystemtjenester, ... -
Protocol and description of literature searches for the risk-benefit assessment of fish in the Norwegian diet. The Steering Committee of the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food and Environment
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2020)Fish contains nutrients that are positive for our health. At the same time, it contains varying levels of undesirable substances that can have a negative effect on health. Undesirable substances can be found in different levels in most types of food. In a risk-benefit assessment, both the nutrients and the undesirable substances are assessed and it is evaluated whether it in total gives a more ... -
Sannhetskommisjonen vil styrke demokratiet
(Chronicle; Kronikk, 2018)Vi mener at en sannhetskommisjon som baner vei for større offentlig rom for samiske stemmer, inkludert smertefulle samiske erfaringer med fornorskningspolitikken, vil styrke Norge som et demokrati. Mandag 12. mars deltok vi på et av de mange folkemøter som arrangeres i disse dager om den samiske sannhets- og forsoningskommisjonen der samer inviteres til å komme med innspill. Vi hørte sterke historier ... -
Report on NCLOS Conference: “The limits and possibilities of sovereignty, as both the organizing logic and the central legal principle underpinning Law of the Sea and Ocean Governance (LOSOG)”, Tromsø, 25 and 25 November 2021
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2021-11)The law of the sea is facing fundamental challenges, including material challenges, epistemic challenges, and challenges relating to ocean justice and geopolitical dynamics. To address these challenges, NCLOS has been engaged with several projects, one of which focusses on problematizing the logic of sovereignty and investigating how sovereignty could be redefined, adapted, and rethought to respond ... -

Kvalitetssikring av genteknologiske metoder
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2018-09)Kvalitetskontroll av infeksjonsserologiske metoder var tema for strategimøtet i 2016 og det er dermed naturlig å følge opp med kvalitetssikring av molekylærgenetiske metoder i år. På møtet i fjor ble det gitt detaljerte anbefalinger om validering/verifisering, internkontroller, usikkerhetsbedømmelse, gråsoner og tolkning. Genteknologiske metoder skiller seg betydelig fra serologi, og kvalitetssikr ... -
