I læreplanen kommer det tydelig frem hvor viktig det er å verdsette flerspråklighet ved å styrke elevenes identitet som flerspråklig og fremme deres flerspråklige kompetanse. Målet med masteroppgaven er å finne ut hvilke arbeidsmetoder lærere som underviser på samisk kan bruke for å styrke elevenes tospråklighet. For å svare på dette har jeg observert i en tospråklig klasse der elevene har samisk ...

Enteric methane (CH4) from gut microbial fermentation of complex organic polymers in ruminants comprises an important source of the anthropogenic CH4 emissions and may also represent a significant loss of metabolic energy to the host animal depending on diet. CH4 is produced by specialized microbes called methanogens. Extensive research exists on enteric CH4 production and methanogens in domestic ...

Ruminants are dependent on their gut microbiomes for nutrient extraction from plant diets. However, knowledge about the composition, diversity, function, and spatial structure of gut microbiomes, especially in wild ruminants, is limited, largely because analysis has been restricted to faeces or the rumen. In two geographically separated reindeer subspecies, 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing revealed ...

A substantial proportion of patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) have inflammatory and autoimmune complications of unknown etiology. We have previously shown that systemic inflammation in CVID correlates with their gut microbial dysbiosis. The gut microbiota dependent metabolite trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) has been linked to several metabolic and inflammatory disorders, but has ...

Bakgrunn: Det er mye fokus på ungdom og psykisk helse både i media, i skolesystemet og i samfunnet generelt. Flere undersøkelser viser at spesielt unge jenter strever, samtidig vet vi at guttene troner statistikk for blant annet frafall i videregående skole og selvmord, og at de uttrykker seg og sine plager annerledes. I studien undersøkes hvordan terapeuter forstår og forholder seg til kjønnsforskjeller ...

Conventional measurements of fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels investigated in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) cannot capture the effects of DNA variability on ‘around the clock’ glucoregulatory processes. Here we show that GWAS meta-analysis of glucose measurements under nonstandardized conditions (random glucose (RG)) in 476,326 individuals of diverse ancestries and without ...

Cod aquaculture is a rapidly expanding industry in Norway and with an increase of biomass in mariculture the concern for diseases spread to and from farmed populations of cod is increasing. The genus Gyrodactylus Nordmann, 1832 are parasitic monogeneans infecting teleost fish in marine and fresh water habitats worldwide. To investigate a possible problematic species of this genus the gill filaments ...

Over the past decades, histopathological cancer diagnostics has become more complex, and the increasing number of biopsies is a challenge for most pathology laboratories. Thus, development of automatic methods for evaluation of histopathological cancer sections would be of value. In this study, we used 624 whole slide images (WSIs) of breast cancer from a Norwegian cohort. We propose a cascaded ...

Habitat choice of small juvenile coastal cod (Gadus morhua L. 1758) was investigated in a field study in Porsangerfjorden and Ullsfjorden in Northern Norway. A towed video rig was used to record video along depth transects in the subtidal zone. Depth, algae cover and occurrence of 0- group, 1-group and 2+ group cod was registered. Beach seine and angling was used to estimate relative abundances of ...

In sympatry, juvenile brown trout (Salmo trutta) usually occupy the shallow and most productive areas (littoral zone) of lakes, while juveniles of Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) are found in deeper, less productive parts. In contrast, when Arctic charr juveniles occur in allopatry, they often occupy shallow littoral areas as well. Habitat segregation has traditionally been interpreted as a trade-of ...
