(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-06-01)For mange kommuner er det utfordrende å prioritere tid og ressurser til å arbeide med kom-munal beredskap. Samarbeid kan være en nøkkelfaktor for å utveksle erfaringer, øke kompe-tanse og løse utfordringer knyttet til samfunnssikkerhet og beredskap. Denne casestudien be-lyser hvordan interkommunale beredskapssamarbeid kan påvirke kommuners motivasjon til å arbeide med beredskap. Det analytiske ... -
Utfordringer med å oppnå delt situasjonsforståelse i samvirke mellom innsatsledere. En kvalitativ studie av et nødetatsmiljø
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-05-29)Denne masteroppgaven har sin hensikt å belyse sentrale forhold i et samvirke som fremmer og hemmer delt situasjonsforståelse mellom innsatsledere. Ved større samvirkehendelser er nødetatene gjensidig avhengig av hverandre for å oppnå en god oppdragsløsning. Jeg har valgt å se nærmere på innsatsledere i nødetatene og forholdene knyttet til organisasjonsstruktur og kultur, innsatsledernes opplæring, ... -

Generisk beredskap - adekvat for å håndtere den neste store krisen? En casestudie av beredskap for hendelser med lav sannsynlighet-høy konsekvens i en kommune
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-05-31)Norgeshistorien er full av større naturhendelser, ulykker og kriser, det være seg både samfunns- og menneskeskapte. Vi ser at fokuset på disse har økt i nyere tid, særlig etter terrorangrepene i regjeringskvartalet og på Utøya 22. Juli 2011. Forberedelsene for å unngå slike hendelser, håndtere de dersom de skulle inntreffe og gjenoppreise samfunnet i etterkant, er en oppgave som jobbes med både ... -
Compounds and culture: Conceptual blending in Norwegian and Russian
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-08-20)This study explores compounds from the perspective of conceptual blending (conceptual integration), and argues that the meaning of compounds arises through the interaction of three levels: (i) input spaces established for the head and non-head components, (ii) a blended space involving compression and emergent structure, i.e. elements not imported from the input spaces, and (iii) the language system ... -

Does the Flipped Classroom Improve Student Learning and Satisfaction? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-08-20)We searched and meta-analyzed studies comparing flipped classroom teaching with traditional, lecture-based teaching to evaluate the evidence for the flipped classroom’s influence on continuous-learning measures, pass/fail rates, and student evaluations of teaching. Eight electronic reference databases were searched to retrieve relevant studies. Our results indicate a small effect in favor of the ... -
Performance optimization and modeling of fine-grained irregular communication in UPC
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-03-03)The Unified Parallel C (UPC) programming language offers parallelism via logically partitioned shared memory, which typically spans physically disjoint memory subsystems. One convenient feature of UPC is its ability to automatically execute between-thread data movement, such that the entire content of a shared data array appears to be freely accessible by all the threads. The programmer friendliness, ... -
Inter-outbreak stability reflects the size of the susceptible pool and forecasts magnitudes of seasonal epidemics
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-30)For dengue fever and other seasonal epidemics we show how the stability of the preceding inter-outbreak period can predict subsequent total outbreak magnitude, and that a feasible stability metric can be computed from incidence data alone. As an observable of a dynamical system, incidence data contains information about the underlying mechanisms: climatic drivers, changing serotype pools, the ecology ... -

An interdisciplinary insight into the human dimension in fisheries models. A systematic literature review in a European Union context
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-02)Fisheries are complex adaptive social-ecological systems (SES) that consist of interlinked human and ecosystems. They have mainly been studied by the natural sciences and focused on the ecosystem. However, rising concerns about sustainability and increasing complexity of societal challenges often require an understanding of fisheries in a SES context. For this purpose, the study of the human ... -
Interdisciplinary optimism? Sentiment analysis of Twitter data
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-31)Interdisciplinary research has faced many challenges, including institutional, cultural and practical ones, while it has also been reported as a ‘career risk’ and even ‘career suicide’ for researchers pursuing such an education and approach. Yet, the propagation of challenges and risks can easily lead to a feeling of anxiety and disempowerment in researchers, which we think is counterproductive to ... -
Critical Role of an MHC Class I-Like/Innate-Like T Cell Immune Surveillance System in Host Defense against Ranavirus (Frog Virus 3) Infection
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-06)Besides the central role of classical Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class Ia-restricted conventional Cluster of Differentiation 8 (CD8) T cells in antiviral host immune response, the amphibian <i>Xenopus laevis</i> critically rely on MHC class I-like (mhc1b10.1.L or XNC10)-restricted innate-like (i)T cells (iVα6 T cells) to control infection by the ranavirus Frog virus 3 (FV3). To complement ... -
Origin of arc magmatic signature: A temperature-dependent process for trace element (re)-mobilization in subduction zones
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-08)Serpentinite is a major carrier of fluid-mobile elements in subduction zones, which influences the geochemical signature of arc magmatism (e.g. high abundances of Li, Ba, Sr, B, As, Mo and Pb). Based on results from Neoproterozoic serpentinites in the Arabian-Nubian Shield, we herein report the role of antigorite in the transportation of fluid-mobile elements (FME) and light rare earth elements ... -

Differential prognostic impact of platelet-derived growth factor receptor Expression in NSCLC
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-15)Preclinical evidence suggests that stromal expression of platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGFRs) stimulates tumor development and diminishes intratumoral drug uptake. In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the clinical relevance of stromal PDGFR expression remains uncertain. Tumor specimens from 553 patients with primary operable stage I-IIIB NSCLC was obtained and tissue micro-arrays (TMA) ... -

(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-08-25)Background: Previous studies have found that the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is associated with several characteristic, such as female gender, higher education and higher income. However, studies investigating the relationship between alcohol consumption patterns and different CAM approaches have so far been limited. Harmful use of alcohol has detrimental consequences to ... -
Individual Development and Collective Change: A Dynamic Approach to University Teacher Training
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2019-06-24)University teacher training is often centered around extensive courses and seminars, and may have limited impact on improving teaching practice. We suggest this may be due to faculty perceiving what is being taught as not immediately relevant for solving concrete, practical challenges they face in their everyday practice. Further, lasting change in teaching practice requires a collective effort. We ...
