Despite the fact that there are many studies concerning the topic of linguistical interferences between two languages coexisting in the same speaker community, there are few studies that analyses to what level certain interferences are accepted from the minority language to the dominant one in comparison with the level of use within the individual speaker of the minority language. In this thesis, ...

Avhandlingen tar for seg Frigjøringskomitéens rolle og arbeid i planleggingen og gjennomføringen av frigjøringsjubileet i 1994/95. Fra annonseringen av komitéen i 1991, følger oppgaven komiteens arbeid med jubileet kronologisk frem til gjennomføringen av jubileet i 1995. Oppgaven har en strukturell tilnærming, som deler inn oppgaven i intensjon, produksjon og resepsjon. Oppgaven viser hvordan ...

Bacteriophages are viruses that specifically infect bacteria. These obligate intracellular parasites are Earth's most copious, ubiquitous, and genetically diverse (unexplored) biological entities. Organisms in the Arctic environment constantly experience extreme conditions, therefore life in the Arctic evolved different specialized strategies and molecules to survive which offers huge opportunities ...

This thesis, Is the Precariat the New Proletariat? A comparative study of justice in Charles Dickens’s Victorian novel Oliver Twist (1836) and Guy Gunaratne’s contemporary novel In Our Mad and Furious City (2018), argues that the precariat, a term coined by Guy Standing, is a new emerging social class that is represented in modern literature and is a continuation and modern equivalent to the previously ...

Tema for denne masteroppgaven er selvledelse i stillinger med høy grad av selvstendighet. Studien har fokus på finne ut hvilken lederstil som praktiseres i stillinger der det forventes at medarbeiderne er selvgående. Problemstillingen i denne studien er: Hvilken ledelse praktiseres i en virksomhet der det forventes at medarbeiderne er selvgående, og hvilke barrierer for selvledelse kan vi ...

This Master’s thesis investigates the application of Machine Learning (ML) in predicting blast-induced ground vibrations in mining, with the aim of sur- passing the precision of the current industry-standard model that utilizes an empirical, regression-based method. The study applied a Deep Neural Network (DNN) model, selected for its capability to consider a broader range of variables than the ...

Albumin-stabilized mitotane nanoparticles intended for intravenous application can serve as a potential formulation for the treatment of adrenocortical carcinoma. However, the particle size of a nanoparticle-based formulation is crucial for the in vivo behavior of the nanoparticles following an intravenous injection. Prior to this project, the particle size of this nanoformulation had a mean of ...

Migration of foreign pharmacists to Norway has increased considerably in recent years. Data from the Directorate of Health shows that 1592 foreign pharmacists received authorization in Norway from 2013 to 2021 as compared to 1952 Norwegian pharmacists. There are several theories of migration, but “push and pull theory” is the most widely used approach to learn about reasons of migration. According ...

Antarctic Ice Sheet mass loss accounts for the largest uncertainties in global sea level projections. Antarctic meltwater and iceberg calving, together with changes in sea ice, also impact global ocean circulation, carbon uptake, and ecosystems. To understand, quantify and predict these changes and impacts, we employ climate and ice sheet models. Over the past 5+ years the Norwegian polar research ...

Fjord and shelf food webs are frequently supplemented by the advection of external biomass, which in high-latitude seas often comes in the form of lipid-rich copepods that can support a wide range of fish species, including Northeast Arctic cod (Gadus morhua). A seasonal match or mismatch at the lower trophic levels (phytoplankton and zooplankton) is central in determining how much energy and biomass ...
