Molecular profiling of the liver sinusoidal endothelial cell – a multi-omics approach
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2021-08-20)The endothelium is the innermost cell layer of blood vessels and has a key role in maintaining vascular homeostasis. Beside the general role to prevent blood coagulation and regulate blood flow, endothelial cells of different vascular beds show tissue specific specializations. This thesis focuses on a unique endothelial cell with immune-like properties, namely the liver sinusoidal endothelial cell ... -
Prepositions with CP and their implications for extended projections
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-08)In some limited cases, English allows a particular preposition to combine with a certain kind of subordinate clause, as exemplified by <i>in that</i> in “I take the proposal seriously, in that I loathe it”. In contrast, Norwegian systematically allows prepositions to combine with subordinate clauses (as in <i>Det resulterte i at vi vant</i>, literally “It resulted in that we won”). I argue that the ... -
Resilience Assessment of Wind Farms in the Arctic with the Application of Bayesian Networks
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-22)Infrastructure systems, such as wind farms, are prone to various human-induced and natural disruptions such as extreme weather conditions. There is growing concern among decision makers about the ability of wind farms to withstand and regain their performance when facing disruptions, in terms of resilience-enhanced strategies. This paper proposes a probabilistic model to calculate the resilience of ... -
Massive transfusjonsprotokoller ved norske sykehus med akutt traumefunksjon og deres respektive blodbankers beredskap av transfusjoner og medikamentelle tiltak. Følger sykehusene og deres blodbanker anbefalingene fra Nasjonal Kompetansetjeneste for Traumatologi?

Learning Discomfort and Uncertainty: The KAIROS Blanket Exercise as a Canadian Settler Education Tool
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-06-01)The KAIROS Blanket Exercise is an experiential learning activity that takes participants in Canada through Indigenous history in North America from an Indigenous perspective. In a 90- minute workshop, participants embody the role of Indigenous peoples and walk on blankets that represent the land. Through the reading of scripts, they re-enact the chronology of Canadian history and the processes ... -
Modeling and simulation of power and energy demands to dimension an alternative energy supply for the aquaculture industry. Use of OpenModelica to develop an applicable simulation model for the energy and power demands
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-07-11)The purpose of the research is to investigate whether feed barges currently running on diesel generator can be powered by alternative energy sources where power from shore is limited. Through data collection, several models are developed in OpenModelica to represent the power and energy distribution on a feed barge. Using the Power Systems library provided in OpenModelica, it has offered benefits ... -
Flow in Physical Activity and Exercise: Exploring the Relevance of Mindfulness and Exertion
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-05-14)Experiencing flow in physical activity is associated with intrinsic motivation and has proven to be a highly rewarding state of mind (Csikszentmihalyi, 2008). Facilitating flow experiences among regular exercisers can be beneficial in terms of promoting long-term physical activity engagement. In a longitudinal study we explored possible factors predicting flow experiences in exercisers by measuring ... -
The help may be far away: The effect of construal level and social distance on charity donations
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-05-17)Is it possible to influence people´s willingness to donate money? In two experiments we investigated whether participant´s (N = 417) willingness to donate money to a charitable cause could be influenced by mental representations and social distance towards the donation target. In both experiments we manipulated the perceived social distance towards the donation target, and the construal level of the ... -
Multi-mission remote sensing of low concentration produced water slicks
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2021-04)Produced water is legally released from oil platforms and often detected by oil spill detection services despite their low oil concentrations. Using fully-polarimetric RADARSAT-2 and dual-polarimetric Sentinel-1 data we investigate their synthetic aperture radar (SAR) characteristics. Detectability ranges within the SAR and optical Sentinel-2 and PlanetScope images are assessed and compared to in-situ ... -
Escalation in asymmetrical relations. A rational strategy for weak states?
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-05-18)It is a prevalent view in International Relations scholarship that in conflicts the most powerful party generally prevails. It would follow that weak party escalation usually is an irrational course of action, and therefore should not be attempted. Nonetheless, comparably weak states from time to time escalate confrontations with vastly stronger adversaries, and benefit from it. This paradox is not ... -
The Mjølnir Impact Crater in the central Barents Sea - a potential hydrocarbon system?
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-05-15)A meteor impact event on the Bjameland Platform in the Norwegian Barents Sea about 142 ± 2.6 million years ago formed the Mjølnir Impact Crater. The structure has diameter of 40 km impacting the Mesozoic stratigraphy, and has previously been investigated with emphasis on the dynamics of the impact, the structure formation, sedimentation and post-impact tectonics. Impact structures have proven to be ... -
Ab Initio Adult Third Language Acquisition: Transfer source selection and effects of CLI in acquisition of an artificial language
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-05-18)The field of generative third language acquisition has seen considerable activity in the last decade, resulting in several dominant models which seek to explain the phenomenon of cross-linguistic influence (CLI) and transfer. This study investigates the role of previously acquired languages, Norwegian and English, in the acquisition of morphosyntax of a miniature artificial language (MAL) at the ... -
Code-Switching in Multilinguals: A Narrative Elicitation Study with L1 Arabic, L2 English, L3 Norwegian Speakers. The Role of Cognates, Dominance and Typological proximity
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-05-17)This study aims to investigate the phenomenon of code-switching in multilingual. Participants in this study speak Arabic as L1, English as L2, and Norwegian as L3. The focus will mainly be on two main patterns in code-switching: The Insertion of cognates and the Direction of the cross-linguistic influence. More specifically, we will investigate if the co-activation effect on cognates would increase ... -
Cross-linguistic influence in the acquisition of the English determiner and tense-aspect systems by L1 Norwegian, L1 German and L1 Russian speakers
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-05-17)This thesis investigates the cross-linguistic influence in the acquisition of the English determiner (article) and tense-aspect systems by L1 Norwegian, L1 German and L1 Russian speakers. The field of Second Language Acquisition allows conducting research by comparing the influence of the certain features of different languages in relation to the target L2 that is being acquired. Such feature as ... -
Bilingual vocabulary acquisition A corpus-based case study
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-05-16)A bilingual learning two languages from birth seems to follow the same developmental trajectory as that of a monolingual. However, within vocabulary acquisition persistent and significant differences have been found between bilingual and monolinguals when the languages of bilinguals are compared separately to monolinguals’ level. The domain specific nature of a bilingual’s vocabularies is an important ... -

(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-07-19)Formål Det er tidligere vist høyere risiko for død i rurale områder i Norge (2, 3). Paradoksalt er det funnet lavere prevalens av alvorlige, ikke-fatale skader ruralt (3). Vi undersøkte om den økte risikoen for død og lavere prevalens av ikke-fatale skader også gjelder for perioden 2002- 2016, når man bruker Statistisk Sentralitetsbyrås (SSB) sentralitetsindeks som mål for ruralitet. Materiale ...
