Achieving community acceptance in an early-phase for onshore wind projects in Norway A case study of the onshore wind energy project Snøheia Industri…

2023

Renewable energy is crucial for sustainable energy production to combat climate change. One global pillar in renewable energy production is wind power. However, it is not always easy to get acceptance within local communities and social license to operate when discussing wind power development. This issue is especially present in a country like Norway, with a lot of scenic beauty to offer. By looking at a case from Høyanger and Sunnfjord municipality, this thesis aims to create a model to follow for gaining higher community acceptance and social license to operate amongst local communities in early-phase wind power development projects in Norway. Hydro and Eviny released a press statement o…

“Childish, Self-Centered, and Cruel” : Classed Disgust, Maternal Complaint, and Mediated Morality in an Anonymous Online Discussion Board

2023

In December 2017, Finnish celebrity Sini Ariell published a blog post revealing the negative feelings she had experienced as the mother of a newborn. The post went viral, sparking moral outrage in Finnish digital media forums. In our affective-discursive analysis, we trace the reactions of disgust that appeared in an online discussion generated by Ariell’s post. Paying attention to how disgust was attached to different bodies, objects, and signs, we identify three main targets of disgust: 1) Ariell herself; 2) public maternal complaint; 3) “perfect mothers” and pronatalism. Classed disgust toward Ariell arose from details such as her body, her makeup and tattoos, and her public display of e…

Underlying-event properties in pp and p–Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV

2023

We report about the properties of the underlying event measured with ALICE at the LHC in pp and p–Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV. The event activity, quantified by charged-particle number and summed-pT densities, is measured as a function of the leading-particle transverse momentum (ptrigT). These quantities are studied in three azimuthal-angle regions relative to the leading particle in the event: toward, away, and transverse. Results are presented for three different pT thresholds (0.15, 0.5 and 1 GeV/c) at mid-pseudorapidity (|η| 10 GeV/c, whereas for lower ptrigT values the event activity is slightly higher in p–Pb than in pp collisions. The measurements are compared with predictions …

An Analysis of Phishing Susceptibility Through the Lens of Protection Motivation Theory

2023

Users of communication tools are vulnerable to a cyberattack called phishing which aims to trick a recipient into giving away information or access that the attacker should not have. There is a great need to protect the recipient from becoming a victim of phishing. Protection can be done a multitude of ways; however, the human will be last barrier of entry when all digital protection fails. This is why anti-phishing training is used to enable email users to see the difference between real email and phishing attacks. This research explores the use of Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) to analyse phishing susceptibility by interviewing ten employees in a large financial company. The analysis …

Biogenesis and roles of Lacticaseibacillus casei BL23 membrane vesicles

2023

Gram-positive bacteria of the species Lacticaseibacillus casei (formerly known as Lactobacillus casei) are fermentative bacilli found in dairy products that are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and beneficial effects against pathogens. Like all living organisms, L. casei produces nanostructures of 20 to 400 nm in diameter bounded by a lipid membrane called membrane vesicles (MVs). MVs have been shown to contain various cellular constituents and exert multiple functions. However, despite the growing interest in Gram-positive MVs over the past 10 years, the mechanisms of biogenesis and the roles played by these vesicles remain poorly characterized. In this context, the objectives …

Sananvapaus 2000-luvulla

2023

Kirjoitus käsittelee sananvapauden kehitystä 2000-luvun aikana. Tänä aikana painettujen lehtien rinnalle ovat tulleet verkkolehdet. Televisiokanavat ovat laajentaneet tarjontaansa verkkoon ja elokuvien jakelu on siirtynyt teattereista dvd-levyille ja verkkoon. Lisäksi sosiaalisen median palvelut ovat tarjonneet alustoja ja palveluita ihmisten keskinäiseen viestintään ja keskusteluihin. Suomessa rikoslaki on tarjonnut ja tarjoaa edelleenkin keskeiset välineet haitallisen ja ei-toivotun viestinnän torjuntaan. Kirjoitus käsitteleekin kunnianloukkausta koskevan oikeuskäytännön muutosta ja kehittymistä sekä vihapuheen ja uhkailuja koskevan käytännön muutosta 2000-luvulla. Lisäksi käydään läpi jo…

Genomic epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae in the Comunitat Valenciana

2023

La resistencia antimicrobiana (RAM) es una importante amenaza para la salud pública a nivel mundial. El mal uso de los antibióticos ha llevado al surgimiento y propagación de infecciones resistentes a los antibióticos. Entre los patógenos que más muertes causan asociadas a la RAM bacteriana se encuentra Klebsiella pneumoniae, uno de los patógenos más preocupantes. DE hecho, en 2019, K. pneumoniae se clasificó como la segunda causa de muertes atribuible a la RAM. Entre las resistencias adquiridas en K. pneumoniae, las que mayor preocupación causan son las cepas que han desarrollado resistencia a cefalosporinas de tercera generación (3GC) y carbapenems (CRKp). En esta tesis se ha investigado …

The Potential of Dental Calculus as a Novel Source of Biological Isotopic Data

2023

Stable isotope analysis has become an essential tool in investigations of ancient migration and paleodietary reconstruction. Because the biogeochemistry of bone collagen and apatite is well known, current methods rely almost exclusively on analyses of bones and teeth; however, dental calculus represents a potentially additional biological source of isotopic data from ancient skeletons. Dental calculus is a mineralized bacterial biofilm that forms on the surfaces of teeth. Sampling dental calculus does not damage the dentition and thus can be used in cases where it is not possible to perform destructive analyses of conventional mineralized tissues. Like bone and dentine, dental calculus cont…

From Brave New World to Ready Player One; yesterday's dystopias as tomorrow's utopias

2023

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the evolution of literary utopias and dystopias in light of what I consider to be the new master narrative of post-humanism. The inspiration for this project has been Yuval Noah Harari’s Homo Deus (2017), which details some of the challenges and opportunities we might face in the future. This thesis will therefore explore the themes of his work and try to assess how this technological and ideological development changes our perception of an ideal society. I start this project by clarifying utopia and dystopia, before delving into a history of post-humanist ideology up to the present moment. This thesis then attempts a reading of Brave New World (…

„Comparing“ American and South African literatures (through Afrofuturism): methodology and challenges (online seminar)

2023

My original thesis project was ‘Representations of monstrosity in afrofuturist American and South African literature’, and it was meant as a follow up to my master’s thesis which consisted in analyzing monstrosity in short story collections by an African American and a South African author: Friday Black (Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, 2018) and Intruders (Mohale Mashigo, 2018). I had used afrofuturism not as my main focus then, but as a subchapter in my work, When I started working on my thesis project, I took the term ‘afrofuturism’ for granted when applied to South African works, but the texts I have read and the (South African) encounters I have had have led me to rethink my work and my appro…

‘Georges Duthuit’s Le Rose et le noir : Disseminating Walter Pater’s The Renaissance in the 1920s’

2023

My proposal presents a lesser-known study of Walter Pater published in 1923 (?) by a young undergraduate named Georges Duthuit (1891-1973). Hovering between different subjects, arguments, portraits, and disciplines, Le Rose et le noir was the first book-length publication of Duthuit, at the time having just obtained his Licence d’anglais (BA) in 1921, and about to embark on a career as a distinguished art historian specialized in Byzantine studies. Duthuit soon stood as a distinguished Franco-British mediator in art matters, a committed scholar and administrator and, later in the 1940s, an editor of Transition. He remains arguably an outstanding art historian but I would like to focus on hi…

Lexical Richness in the Texts of Norwegian Lower Secondary School Students: The Effect of Specific Extramural English Activities.

2023

This thesis explores the vocabulary of a selection of 8th grade students and the effect that Extramural English activities can have on their vocabulary knowledge. The vocabulary of the students was based on measurements of lexical richness, these were, lexical diversity, lexical density, and lexical sophistication. Other variables such as off-list words and total words were also looked at. The primary focus is on activities such as watching movies/tv-series, listening to audiobooks/radio programs/podcasts. However, other Extramural English activities are also examined with regards to their effect on vocabulary. In this study the data is collected through the TRAWL project, access to student…

The strategic use of One Nation as a symbol during PMQs from J. Major to T. May

2023

One Nation, as a conceptual construct which started to develop since the 19th century has often been associated with the Conservative Party’s politics regarding their effort to bridge the gap between “the two nations” (the underprivileged and the well-off members of society) and in the elevation of the condition of the people in the UK (a requisite for social harmony). Most recent conservative Prime Ministers have been eager to present their own version of the One Nation tradition based on their views of the role the state should play (either limited or extended state intervention). David Seawright explains that these conflicting stances are not expressed in a strict polarisation within the…

Una difficile normalità

2023

La notizia della concessione della libertà vigilata a Gaspare Spatuzza - l'assassino, insieme a Grigoli, del parroco palermitano don Giuseppe Puglisi e di molti altri - riapre la discussione sul tema del difficile futuro dei collaboratori di giustizia richiedendo una lucida distinzione tra giudiziario e religioso. È anche un'utile occasione per portare in primo piano non solo il dolore delle vittime e dei loro familiari, ma anche la ragione del perdono. Che rischia di dare spazio a un'etica iperbolica che richiama, secondo Derrida, la sua "impossibilità, inopportunità, se non addirittura immoralità" The news of the granting of parole to Gaspare Spatuzza - the killer, together with Grigoli, …

Innagerende atferd og relasjonsetablering

2023

Formålet ved å gjennomføre denne studien var å rette et søkelys mot elever som viser en innagerende atferd, og hvordan lærere i skolen kan etablere en trygg og god relasjon til denne elevgruppen. Elever som viser en innagerende atferd har ofte vansker med å komme i relasjon til læreren (Drugli, 2012, s. 80-81). Denne elevgruppen vil derfor ha et ekstra behov for at læreren ser dem, og aktivt går inn for å etablere en relasjon. For å belyse hvordan læreren kan etablere en trygg og god relasjon til denne elevgruppen valgte vi følgende problemstilling: “Hvordan etablerer læreren en trygg og god relasjon til elever som viser en innagerende atferd?" I studiens teori og tidligere forskning ble re…

Il teatro dell’ardore e del disincanto: l’eredità di Amleto

2023

“The play’s the thing,” says Hamlet, “wherein I’ll catch the conscience of the king”. The intent is to show the spectators to the twisted labyrinth of truth, the one however that cannot be openly declared without tragically risking your own life. The actors’ play, as it is conceived by Hamlet, becomes the tool for trap the king of Denmark, Claudius, who had killed his brother Hamlet and usurped the young princess Hamlet’s throne. It was the enchantment felt in whatching an actor play that convinced Hamlet he could have managed to get his revenge thanks to a skilled comedian who’s art is to tell the truth with the inventio! Hamlet's reception in European culture has firmly enlightened an “ha…

Una mañana en Oporto : apuntes de un viaje en la arquitectura de Álvaro Siza

2023

Per un architetto il viaggio è una impareggiabile occasione di studio, poiché permette di compiere una reale esperienza dello spazio, consente di valutare con i propri sensi ciò che altrimenti sarebbe sempre mediato dal disegno, dalla fotografia, dai testi o da altre rappresentazioni. La visita ad alcune architetture di Álvaro Siza, diviene occasione per una analisi critica e consente di estrarre alcune lezioni sul rapporto con i luoghi, sui caratteri dello spazio, sulla materialità, sull’impiego della luce, sul valore del dettaglio.

Using Differential Geometry for Sparse High-Dimensional Risk Regression Models

2023

With the introduction of high-throughput technologies in clinical and epidemiological studies, the need for inferential tools that are able to deal with fat data-structures, i.e., relatively small number of observations compared to the number of features, is becoming more prominent. In this paper we propose an extension of the dgLARS method to high-dimensional risk regression models. The main idea of the proposed method is to use the differential geometric structure of the partial likelihood function in order to select the optimal subset of covariates.

Vedlikehold av stolpene i distribusjonsnettet i Agder - Levetidsstudie

2023

Full text not available This thesis was written in collaboration with Glitre Nett, where the purpose is to analyse the lifespan of power masts in the high voltage distribution grid in Agder. This is done by studying several factors that can impact the lifespan of the masts and by developing a model to estimate the number of masts that should be replaced in the coming years, based on how the grid is operated today. Access to electricity is essential in today's society. However, it is difficult to determine an exact lifespan for the power lines in the grid. Therefore, several factors such as impregnation, foundation and the number of poles were considered as possible influencing factors on th…

The obstacles to the development of secondary education in Spain, 1857-1900

2023

Human capital is one of the pillars of economic growth and development. However, the economic analysis of human capital presents a large number of difficulties, especially since the mechanisms that allow the accumulation of this type of capital, skills and knowledge, are intrinsic to human nature and, in general, are difficult to determine. But, in addition, the formation of human capital results from formal and informal learning and occurs throughout life, so its measurement is a challenge. Trying to overcome the drawbacks that the analysis of human capital poses, some researchers have proposed the differentiation of human capital into types or levels in order to see its differential effec…

Non-abusing mothers’ formal support needs after child sexual abuse disclosure : the case of North Cyprus

2023

This article investigates the formal support needs of mothers whose child has been sexually abused. Previous research has focused mostly on the provision of support for abused children to the relative neglect of mothers’ support needs. Here, formal support refers to resources and services from organisations, professionals and authorities, with a specific focus on social welfare services. This article is based on a thematic analysis of semi-structured, in-depth interviews with 15 non-abusing mothers in North Cyprus. Analysis of the mothers’ experiences revealed needs of support in four important domains: financial support; child day-care services and social facilities for children and adults…

Comment on the subdifferential formula given in the article "Algorithmic Analysis and Statistical Estimation of SLOPE via Approximate Message Passing"

2023

Subdifferential formula for the sorted 1 norm attracted lot of attention recently to derive screening procedures for SLOPE [5, 7], clustering and sparsity properties for SLOPE [1, 10] and explicit expressions for the proximal operator of the sorted 1 norm [4, 11]. In this note, we discuss the formula for the subdifferential of the sorted 1 norm given in the article of Bu et al., [3]. We believe that expressing the sorted 1 norm as the maximum of linear functions, as suggested by the authors, is an appropriate approach to derive its subdifferential. However the formula provided in this article contains many flaws and we hope that authors would take into account this note in order to rewrite …
