Stabilizing selection on Atlantic cod supergenes through a millennium of extensive exploitation
2022
Life on Earth has been characterized by recurring cycles of ecological stasis and disruption, relating biological eras to geological and climatic transitions through the history of our planet. Due to the increasing degree of ecological abruption caused by human influences many advocate that we now have entered the geological era of the Anthropocene, or “the age of man.” Considering the ongoing mass extinction and ecosystem reshuffling observed worldwide, a better understanding of the drivers of ecological stasis will be a requisite for identifying routes of intervention and mitigation. Ecosystem stability may rely on one or a few keystone species, and the loss of such species could potentia…
Green apparel buying behaviour : A Stimulus–Organism–Behaviour–Consequence (SOBC) perspective on sustainability-oriented consumption in Japan
2021
The green apparel literature has previously examined the disparity between consumers' positive purchase intentions and their actual purchase behaviour. This dichotomous behaviour represents the critical ‘intention–behaviour gap’, which marketers must seek to reduce to increase sales of their products. The current study thus seeks to identify the drivers of green apparel purchase behaviour that may potentially mitigate this gap. The proposed conceptual model is grounded in the Stimulus–Organism–Behaviour–Consequence (SOBC) paradigm and is tested through an analysis of cross-sectional data collected from 387 green apparel product consumers in Japan who were sourced through Macromill Inc. The …
Brukertilfredshet i et elektronisk pasientjournalsystem – hva påvirker brukertilfredsheten? : Hva påvirker ansatte på et sykehus i Sør–Norges brukert…
2019
Masteroppgave helse- og sosialinformatikk HSI500 - Universitetet i Agder 2019 InnledningEtter hvert som befolkningen i Norge blir eldre og sykere er det et behov for informasjon om den enkelte pasient i helsevesenet. I Norge per i dag er det ingen felles journalløsninger som dekker alle nivåer i helsevesenet. Dette fører til at de som trenger informasjon ikke alltid har den nødvendige tilgangen. Det brukes forskjellige systemer avhengig av helseforetak, sykehus, kommune og lignende. På et sykehus i Sør –Norge brukes den elektroniske pasientjournalen (EPJ) DIPS, hvor alle nyansatte får opplæring før de gis tilgang til å dokumentere i DIPS. Denne studien forsøker å belyse opplæringens betydni…
Streamwater responses to reduced nitrogen deposition at four small upland catchments in Norway
2020
AbstractReduced emissions of nitrogen (N) in Europe have resulted in decreasing atmospheric deposition since 1990. Long-term data (1988–2017) from four small Norwegian catchments located along gradients in N deposition, rainfall, and organic carbon (C) show different responses to 25–30% reductions in N deposition during the same period. At three sites the decreased N deposition caused reduced leaching of nitrate to surface water, whereas the westernmost site showed no decrease, probably due to thin soils with low C:N ratio, poor vegetation cover and high precipitation. The loss of total N to streamwater constituted 30–50% of the N deposition. Losses via denitrification are unknown but assum…
«Den dagen PC-en går i stykker, da er mye av min verden gått i stykker» : En kvalitativ studie om eldres bruk av Duka-PC
2019
Masteroppgave klinisk helsevitenskap ME520 - Universitetet i Agder 2019 Background:Information and communication technology (ICT) affects our everyday lives and the government wants it to be equal opportunities for everyone despite gender, age, background and economy. Many seniors want to be an active player in this digital everyday life. However, lack of knowledge and skills may affectthe confidence to get started. Technological solutions are needed that canmeet their needs and which are adjusted to the functional impairments the individual may have. The importance of facilitated training and user-friendly equipment can be of great value to achieve a greater degree of mastering and confide…
Design and verification of a solar powered automatic rooftop hydroponic system with real time individual measuring of potassium and calcium
2019
Master's thesis Renewable Energy ENE500 - University of Agder 2019 This report covers development and implementation of two hydroponic systems. One at a lab inside theUniversity of Agder, and one at the roof on the J-Building at the University. This report tries to answer thefollowing main research question: How can an automated system for control of nutrient concentration andpH in a solar powered hydroponic system be developed, implemented and verified?The focus of the report has been to create a fully functional system for the lab, generating data forelectronic conductivity for measuring a specter of nutrients, pH value, individual nutrients and temperaturefor comparison. The work has bee…
Digital Data Help Explain Drivers of Angler Satisfaction : An Example from Southern Norway
2022
We analyzed trip-level self-reports collected by a cell phone app to understand angler satisfaction of fishing for sea trout Salmo trutta (anadromous Brown Trout) in southern Norway. We found no clear support for a positive relationship between trip outcome (catch or no catch) and angler satisfaction level. In the cases where sea trout was caught, however, there was a positive relationship between fish size and angler satisfaction level. A total of 52% of the captured sea trout were voluntarily released, and releases were unrelated to fish size. In conclusion, digital data collected via a cell phone app are useful to reveal patterns of angler behavior and satisfaction. Paid open access

Mixed origin of juvenile Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) along the Swedish west coast
2022
AbstractCryptic population structure in exploited fish species poses a major challenge for fisheries management. Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) is a species in which the presence of sympatric ecotypes has been known for a long time, for instance off the coast of Northern Norway. More recently, two sympatric ecotypes of cod have also been documented in the Skagerrak and Kattegat; one ecotype is of an apparent offshore origin and undertakes spawning migrations to the North Sea, and the other is resident at the coast throughout its life. However, their relative contributions of juveniles to the Swedish west coast remain poorly understood. The lack of adult cod along the Skagerrak and Kattegat coa…
What determines a positive attitude towards natural food products? An expectancy theory approach.
2021
Natural food products are becoming increasingly popular worldwide due to their health and environmental benefits. However, these products' increasing anecdotal popularity has not translated into their widespread adoption; in fact, demand for natural food products remains confined to a relatively small segment of consumers. Despite this, little is known about the facilitators and inhibitors of favourable attitude of consumers towards these products. Recognising this gap, our study employed the theoretical lens of expectancy theory to investigate these factors. Through an extensive review of the pro-environmental consumption literature, we identified four facilitating and inhibiting factors: …
