En kvalitativ studie av menneskers persepsjon av tatoveringer i det moderne Norske samfunn.

Fine-grained muds produced largely from rock weathering at the Earth’s surface have great influence on global carbon cycling. Mud binds and protects organic carbon (OC) from remineralization, and its organic loading controls the amounts, timescales and pathways of OC sequestration in sediments and soils. Human activities have resulted in marked changes (both increases and decreases) in mud accumulation ...

Municipal amalgamation reforms have taken place across democratic regimes since the 1960s. While much focus has been devoted to such reforms’ causes and effects, less attention has been on public discourse surrounding territorial consolidation. This study analyses how local issue salience may impact local representatives’ stance on amalgamating their municipality with one or more others. We focus ...

Arctic and alpine tundra ecosystems are large reservoirs of organic carbon1,2. Climate warming may stimulate ecosystem respiration and release carbon into the atmosphere3,4. The magnitude and persistency of this stimulation and the environmental mechanisms that drive its variation remain uncertain5,6,7. This hampers the accuracy of global land carbon–climate feedback projections7,8. Here we synthesize ...

In this thesis we examine the influence of Doughnut Economics thinking on urban climate action. By comparing the urban visions and climate action plans of the Doughnut-following city of Amsterdam and the cities of Copenhagen and Stockholm, we try to investigate whether following a Doughnut approach leads to different climate action than currently can be found within the traditional growth-based ...

The following research aims to explore architectural spaces, and the human presence therein, in a Benedictine monastic environment. The empirical material was collected during the spring and summer of 2023 over a period of twenty days during which I stayed as a guest in St. Benedictusberg Abbey in the south of the Netherlands, just a few kilometers away from the tripoint where the country borders ...

In 2021, I traveled to the small mountain town of Chita, Colombia with my daughter by my side and a camera in hand. The town had endured decades of civil war and guerrilla control, leaving its inhabitants deeply scarred by violence and division. The town's history was a tapestry of conflicting allegiances, with families and neighbors pitted against one another, some supporting the government while ...

Denne masteroppgaven har som overordnet mål å undersøke hvordan erfarne klatrere i Lofoten opplever og navigerer i et landskap som tiltrekker seg stadig flere klatreturister. I lys av allemannsrettens uklare pliktfundament, vil studien utforske hvordan klatringens kulturelle lag, normer og verdier kommer til uttrykk i praksis. Ved hjelp av deltakende observasjon og kvalitative intervjuer, analyseres ...

Denne studia undersøkjer kva utfordringar sjukepleiarar ved Distriktspsykiatriske Sentre (DPS) møter i sin arbeidskvardag. Bakgrunnen for studia dei betydelege strukturelle endringane i tenestene for psykisk sjuke dei siste tiåra. Endringane i strukturen på norsk psykiatri er forankra i politiske, økonomiske og etiske argument. Denne studia søkjer imidlertid å utforske sjukepleiarane sine eigne ...

I denne masteroppgaven har jeg undersøkt hvorvidt Rana kommune i eget regi og i samarbeid med andre lokale aktører reduserer sosial ulikhet blant barn og unges deltakelse på fritidsaktiviteter. Problemstillingen som besvares er: «Er Rana kommunes sin politikk for fritidsformål egnet til å redusere sosial ulikhet i barn og unges deltakelse for fritidsaktiviteter?» For å danne et helhetlig bilde av ...
