By now, with this new technology of autonomous driving, we can ensure safety by reducing the number of road accidents, also the environmental impact and energy consumption is lessened. The modeling and simulation phases had become a mandatory step to design, characterize and simulate vehicle dynamics while reducing the cost of development. As they pr…
Algoritmisk tenkning og matematisk modellering
2023
Algoritmisk tenkning og modellering har fått økt oppmerksomhet i matematikkundervisningen etter innføringen av den nye læreplanen for matematikk i 2020. Dette masterprosjektet har som formål å undersøke hvordan elevers algoritmiske tenkning kommer til uttrykk i en modelleringsprosess med Scratch som verktøy. På bakgrunn av dette har vi utarbeidet to forskningsspørsmål. Det første undersøker hvilke kjerneferdigheter i algoritmisk tenkning som ofte er sammenfallende med faseovergangene i elevenes modelleringsprosess. Det andre omhandler hvordan algoritmisk tenkning og modelleringsprosessen knyttes sammen i elevenes arbeid. Vår kvalitative casestudie baserer seg på observasjon, samt lyd- og sk…
La lotta per i diritti, oggi
2023
La cultura dei diritti è in crisi? Se con questa etichetta intendiamo riferirci soltanto a un discorso giuridico improntato al linguaggio dei diritti e a un certo assetto tra poteri che valorizza il potere giudiziario a discapito del legislativo e dell’esecutivo, allora non si può che rispondere negativamente.Se invece consideriamo parte integrante dell’età dei diritti la rivoluzione copernicana che inverte la prospettiva da cui osservare il rapporto tra governanti e governati, nonché la convinzione che esista uno zoccolo duro (auspicabilmente in espansione) di valori morali universalmente condivisi sui quali edificare un futuro di pace e prosperità dell’umanità, allora è difficile negare l…
Pyrolyse i avløpshåndtering og utvinning av biokull
2023
This thesis has investigated if pyrolysis is a sustainable solution for the treatment of sewage sludge for Horten Municipality. Separate laboratory experiments and literature research was executed to answer the research question. Sewage sludge extracted from Horten Municipality`s treatment plant has been pyrolyzed at 500°C, 700°C and 800°C. Various tests have been carried out on the biochar extracted from the pyrolysis to find out which biochar is most suited for different areas of use.

Visuell programmering ved design av fagverk i tre
2023
This master thesis deals with the use of visual programming and parametric design. The aim is to determine whether this can make the traditional process for structural design more efficient (for wooden structures). The traditional process is based on several manual transfers between software, and it is particularly vulnerable to changes that occur along the way. However, when using parametric design, one uses algorithms and formulas to make the model-objects dependent on each other. Thus, small changes will not require extensive modifications to surrounding components in the model. The task is based on an existing glulam-truss, which has already been designed by the client (Sweco). The repo…

Symbiotic status alters fungal eco‐evolutionary offspring trajectories
2023
Despite host-fungal symbiotic interactions being ubiquitous in all ecosystems, understanding how symbiosis has shaped the ecology and evolution of fungal spores that are involved in dispersal and colonization of their hosts has been ignored in life-history studies. We assembled a spore morphology database covering over 26,000 species of free-living to symbiotic fungi of plants, insects and humans and found more than eight orders of variation in spore size. Evolutionary transitions in symbiotic status correlated with shifts in spore size, but the strength of this effect varied widely among phyla. Symbiotic status explained more variation than climatic variables in the current distribution of…
Molecular-Biology-Driven Frontline Treatment for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: A Network Meta-Analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials
2023
The treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) currently relies on the use of chemo-immunotherapy, Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitors, or BCL2 inhibitors alone or combined with an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody. However, the availability of multiple choices for the first-line setting and a lack of direct head-to-head comparisons pose a challenge for treatment selection. To overcome these limitations, we performed a systematic review and a network meta-analysis on published randomized clinical trials performed in the first-line treatment setting of CLL. For each study, we retrieved data on progression-free survival (according to del17/P53 and IGHV status), overall response rate, complet…

Solution- and gas-phase study of binding of ammonium and bisammonium hydrocarbons to oxacalix[4]arene carboxylate
2023
Oxacalixarenes represent a distinctive class of macrocyclic compounds, which are closely related to the parent calixarene family, offering binding motifs characteristic of calixarenes and crown ethers. Nevertheless, they still lack extensive characterization in terms of molecular recognition properties and the subsequent practical applicability. We present here the results of binding studies of an oxacalix[4]arene carboxylate macrocycle toward a variety of organic ammonium cationic species. Our results show that the substituents attached to the guest ammonium compound largely influence the binding strengths of the host. Furthermore, we show that the characteristic binding pattern changes up…

Transfer reactions in 206Pb+118Sn: From quasielastic to deep-inelastic processes
2023
We measured multinucleon transfer reactions for the 206Pb+118Sn system at Elab=1200 MeV by employing the large solid angle magnetic spectrometer PRISMA. Differential and total cross sections and Q-value distributions have been obtained for a variety of neutron and proton pick-up and stripping channels. The Q-value distributions show how the quasielastic and deep inelastic processes depend on the mass and charge of the transfer products. The corresponding cross sections have been compared with calculations performed with the grazing code. An overall good agreement is found for most of the few nucleon transfer channels. The underestimation of the data for channels involving a large number of …
Proton Direct Ionization in Sub-Micron Technologies : Test Methodologies and Modelling
2023
Two different low energy proton (LEP) test methods, one with quasi-monoenergetic and the other with very wide proton beam energy spectra, have been studied. The two test methodologies have been applied to devices that were suggested from prior heavy-ion tests to be sensitive to proton direct ionization (PDI). The advantages and disadvantages of the two test methods are discussed. The test method using quasi-monoenergetic beams requires device preparation and high energy resolution beams, but delivers results that can be interpreted directly and can be used in various soft error rate (SER) calculation methods. The other method, using a heavily degraded high energy proton beam, requires littl…
Mobile money as a driver of digital financial inclusion
2023
Meeting the mobile money needs of the less privileged in developing and emerging markets opens up enormous possibilities for banks and newly emerged financial-technology firms.

A comparison of ensemble algorithms for item-weighted Label Ranking
2023
Label Ranking (LR) is a non-standard supervised classification method with the aim of ranking a finite collection of labels according to a set of predictor variables. Traditional LR models assume indifference among alternatives. However, misassigning the ranking position of a highly relevant label is frequently regarded as more severe than failing to predict a trivial label. Moreover, switching two similar alternatives should be considered less severe than switching two different ones. Therefore, efficient LR classifiers should be able to take into account the similarities and individual weights of the items to be ranked. The contribution of this paper is to formulate and compare flexible i…
Managing collapsed boundaries in global work
2023
Global workers have long contended with the challenges of working across geographical, temporal, and cultural boundaries enabled by communication technologies. However, the global work research has rarely intersected with the literature on work–home boundary management—which has been brought to the forefront due to the forced move to remote work during the Covid-19 pandemic. Drawing on a qualitative field study of 55 in-depth interviews with global workers from a large organization headquartered in the Nordics, we found that global workers drew on sociomaterial affordances to manage both global work and work–home boundaries through strategies of boundary support and boundary collapse. Altho…

Analysis of Spectral Irradiance Variations and Their Impact on the Performance of Different Photovoltaic Modules
2023
I denne avhandlingen har to år med global horisontal spektral innstrålings og global vinklet spektral innstrålings data har blitt analysert for å se hvordan spektral distribusjoen varierer over disse to årende. I tillegg skal det prøves å estimere energi utbyttet fra fire forkjellige PV moduler, ved bruk av de to årene med global horisontal og vinklet spektral innstråling. Disse modulene er en c-Si modul, en a-Si modul, en CdTe modul og en CIGS modul. I utgangspunktet skulle oppgaven gå ut på å teste et håndholdt spektrometer og bli sammenlignet med et stasjonært spektrometer. Grunnet et defekt kalibrerings instrument kunne ikke dette bli undersøkt videre og hovedfokuest ble satt på spektra…

Psychometric properties of the measure of achieved capabilities in homeless services
2023
Background Purposeful participation in personally meaningful life tasks, enjoyment of positive reciprocal relationships, and opportunities to realize one’s potential are growth-related aspects of a meaningful life that should be considered important dimensions of recovery from homelessness. The extent to which homeless services support individuals to achieve the capabilities they need to become who they want to be and do what they want to do is, in turn, an important indicator of their efectiveness. In this study, we developed a measure of achieved capabilities (MACHS) for use in homeless services settings, and assessed its construct and concurrent validity. Methods We analysed data col…

Actinide and lanthanide thin-layer developments using a drop-on-demand printing system
2023
Actinide and lanthanide thin layers with specific requirements regarding thickness, homogeneity, chemical purity, mechanical stability, and backing properties are applied in a multitude of physics and chemistry experiments. A novel target preparation method, the so-called “Drop-on-Demand” (DoD) technique, based on a commercial nanoliter (nL) dispenser is applied since a few years in the Nuclear Chemistry unit at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz. The wetting behaviour of the nL droplets on the substrate’s surface is a key parameter determining the spatial distribution of the deposited material after evaporation. By switching from aqueous to organic solvents as well as by substrate surface…
Det norske gjendiktingsbegrepet, 1872‒2012: En oversettelsessosiologisk undersøkelse
2023
Problemstillinga for denne avhandlinga er: Hvordan har gjendiktingsbegrepet og dets posisjon utvikla seg i Norge? Jeg formulerer tre forskningsspørsmål, som leder meg i undersøkelsen av dette: 1) Hvordan brukes ordet «*gjendikting» i allment tilgjengelige publikasjoner i Norge? 2) Hva har vært det norske gjendiktingsbegrepets posisjon? 3) Hvilken posisjon har gjendiktere inntatt overfor gjendiktingsbegrepet? Prosjektets teoretiske rammeverk bygger på begrepet om antatt oversettelse (Halverson, 2008; Toury, 1995/2012a) og nøkkelbegreper fra Pierre Bourdieus verk, særlig Les règles de l’art. Genèse et structure du champ littéraire (Bourdieu, 1992/1998). Begrepene blir operasjonalisert på en m…

Unified Quality-Aware Compression and Pulse-Respiration Rates Estimation Framework for Reducing Energy Consumption and False Alarms of Wearable PPG M…
2023
Due to the high demands of tiny, compact, lightweight, and low-cost photoplethysmogram (PPG) monitoring devices, these devices are resource-constrained including limited battery power. Consequently, it highly demands frequent charge or battery replacement in the case of continuous PPG sensing and transmission. Further, PPG signals are often severely corrupted under ambulatory and exercise recording conditions, leading to frequent false alarms. In this paper, we propose a unified quality-aware compression and pulse-respiration rates estimation framework for reducing energy consumption and false alarms of wearable and edge PPG monitoring devices by exploring predictive coding techniques for j…
