Denne masterstudien omhandler styringsdokumentene for ett tverrfaglig konsultasjonsteam innrettet som et tverrfaglig forebyggende lavterskeltilbud for barn i førskolealder. Offentlig sektor er regulert og styrt av sentrale lover og forskrifter for å ivareta samfunnsansvaret. Det har vært politisk enighet i Norge om å modernisere offentlige virksomheter ved økt effektivitet og bedre service. Den ...

Background/aim of the study: Carcinoma-associated Fibroblasts (CAFs) comprise a heterogeneous population of cells and often represent the major cellular component of solid malignancies playing critical roles in tumor progression and metastasis. The purpose of this study was to gain more knowledge on the immunosuppressive traits of CAFs isolated from non-small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLC), and to ...

In 1973, the exhibition entitled Samekulturen (The Sámi Culture) opened its doors to the public for the first time, and for over forty years this exhibition has served as an important arena for the dissemination of Sámi culture to tourists, students and other visitors. Exhibitions have social and political consequences. Samekulturen as a social actor that contributes to the production of knowledge ...

When bacteria are exposed to antibiotics, the rate of killing can slow down dramatically over time. This phenomenon can be observed both in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, the mechanistic explanations for this can be divided into two main categories: antibiotic persistence and heteroresistance. In vivo, both mechanisms thought to contribute to observed slowdowns in the elimination and as a result may ...

Environmental change in the Arctic is occurring at an unprecedented rate with a loss of sea ice and warmer sea temperatures, simultaneously as increased human activity in the Arctic poses a risk of petroleum pollution. The potential future of a key Arctic forage fish, polar cod (<i>Boreogadus saida</i>), was investigated using laboratory simulations of oil spills during sensitive life-history stages: ...

Denne undersøkelsen dreier seg om barns opplevelser i krig, og hvordan skolen kan ivareta og bidra til læring for barn som har opplevd livstruende hendelser i krig. Problemstillingen og tema blir belyst av eldre informanter som var barn under 2.verdenskrig. Som teoretisk fundament presenteres teori om traumer og utvikling av PTSD. Videre trekkes det inn teori om regulering, selvregulering og indre ...

Ledelse er en viktig faktor i alt utviklingsarbeid, og når skoleutvikling er tema, er ledelse ofte knyttet til skoleleders betydning. Med utgangspunkt i at det fram mot 2020 skal forankres og implementeres nye fagplaner i skolene, har jeg valgt å forske på skoleeieres rolle i dette arbeidet. Evalueringer av Kunnskapsløftet viser at det var variasjon i hvor stor grad skoleeiere lyktes med ...

Salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) is a parasitic copepod that causes significant damage to Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and incurs significant costs to the salmonid aquaculture industry. In Norway, the industry has been coping with salmon lice issues with various methods such as chemical treatments, but it has resulted in an acquisition of resistance in salmon lice towards the existing delousing ...

Demersal trawl fisheries play an important role in providing income and protein to the people of the Southwestern Indian Ocean (SWIO). These fisheries are very destructive to the habitats in which they operate and have an impact on the associated biodiversity. Three crustacean species, knife prawn (<i>Haliporoides triarthrus</i>), African langoustine (<i>Metanephrops mozambicus</i>) and pink geryon ...

We obtain some further refinements of Hardy-type inequalities via superqudraticity technique. Our results both unify and further generalize several results on refinements of Hardy-type inequalities in the literature.
