    • Effects of weathered polyethylene microplastic ingestion on sexual maturation, fecundity and egg quality in maturing broodstock Atlantic cod Gadus morhua 

      Fernández-Míguez, Maria; Puvanendran, Velmurugu; Burgerhout, Erik; Presa, Pablo; Tveiten, Helge; Vorkamp, Katrin; Hansen, Øyvind J; Johansson, Gunhild Seljehaug; Bogevik, André Sture (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-09)
      Microplastics (MPs) have become a global issue as they are omnipresent in the ocean. Fish ingesting MPs through feed could be affected in their physiological function, e.g., disrupted enzyme production and function, reduction of feeding and reproductive failure. This study assessed the effects of feed containing naturally weathered MPs from the Oslofjord (Norway) on the reproductive physiology of ...
    • Rapid prototyping of 1xN multifocus gratings via additive direct laser writing 

      Reischke, Marie; Vanderpoorten, Oliver; Ströhl, Florian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-05)
      Multifocus gratings (MFGs) enable microscopes and other imaging systems to record entire Z-stacks of images in a single camera exposure. The exact grating shape depends on microscope parameters like wavelength and magnification and defines the multiplexing onto a grid of MxN Z-slices. To facilitate the swift production and alteration of MFGs for a system and application at hand, we have developed ...
    • From entities to interaction. Replacing pots and people with networks of transmission 

      Damm, Charlotte Brysting (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2012)
      The understanding of the relationship between language, ethnic groups, and material culture in prehistory is still very limited, even within highly competent academic communities. To researchers without archaeological training it may be easy to make a direct association between archaeological cultures, distribution of signifi cant artefact types, and ethnic groups, especially as such explicit links ...
    • Interaction Within and Between Collectives: Networking in Northern Fennoscandia 

      Damm, Charlotte Brysting (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2012)
      The project Early Networking in Northern Fennoscandia is concerned with investigating interaction at the regional and interregional levels. Through a number of separate case studies we look into the substance of the interaction, evaluate its extent and diversity, background and organization, and its wider effects. In my case study I approach interregional interaction by looking at networks and ...

    • Multimodality and Memory in the Mise en page of Guillaume de Machaut's Mass 

      Maxwell, Kate (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2019-07-04)
      <p>Guillaume de Machaut’s mass survives in only five manuscripts, which all form part of the surprisingly homogeneous ‘complete works’ set of Machaut manuscripts. In this contribution, I argue that the details of <i>mise en page</i> in these manuscripts are reflective both of scribal memorial processes and multimodality in action: in this work where one of the major modes (image) is absent, the ...
    • Games and Realism 

      Pötzsch, Holger (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022-11-11)
      This entry offers an overview over applications of the the concept of realism in game studies. After a general description of the term, I move on to an aesthetic notion of realism before I direct attention to its use in videogames research. I show that realism in game studies is about more than photorealist representation of surface phenomena and that it also needs to account for players’ perceptions.
    • Spatiotemporal distribution and co-occurrence of Arctic herbivores in spring 

      Grimsby, Anna Caroline (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2022-04-19)
      Biotic interactions play an important role in the structure and dynamics of food-webs and may drive the spatial distribution of species. In the Arctic, spring snow-cover limits the availability of resources at a critical time for resident and migratory herbivores, which could lead to resource competition. This study takes a first step towards understanding the potential for competition between the ...

    • Is capture-based aquaculture viable? The case of Atlantic cod in Norway 

      Pettersen, Ingrid Kristine; Asche, Frank; Bronnmann, Julia; Sogn-Grundvåg, Geir; Straume, Hans-Martin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-25)
      Capture-based aquaculture (CBA) is an important branch of the aquaculture industry that differs from closed cycle farming in that the stocking material consists of captured wild fish or other aquatic organisms. By skipping the difficult early production stages of fish farming, producers can test whether assumed market advantages such as high quality and consistent supply result in higher prices – ...
    • Decree 546 and Female Imprisonment in Colombia: Considering the Impact of Empty Policy on Institutional Trust 

      Castaño-Metal, Daniela (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2022-11-26)
      What happens to institutional trust when fundamental human rights are not respected by the laws meant to protect them? The social and political environment spurred by the Covid 19 pandemic proved difficult for policymakers and the public alike, but perhaps those with the least agency fared the worst, prisoners. This thesis theorizes the concept of loss of institutional trust as a consequence ...
