Monster eller menneske? En analyse av skjønnlitterære framstillinger av seksuelle overgrep mot barn i Karin Fossums kriminalroman Den som elsker noe annet og Bjarte Breiteigs roman Mine fem år som far
(Master thesis, 2020-06-18)I oppgaven ser jeg nærmere på Karin Fossums kriminalroman Den som elsker noe annet (2007) og Bjarte Breiteigs roman Mine fem år som far (2014). Romanene tar for seg overgrep og pedofili, men på ulike vis. Oppgavens ... -
Monster or Hero? Far-right Responses to Anders Behring Breivik and the July 22, 2011 Terrorist Attacks
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)This study maps and seeks to explain the evolution of far-right responses to the July 22 terrorist attacks in 2011. We identify substantial temporal and spatial variation in how different far-right actors responded between ... -
Monsterjournalistikken - Pressens rolle i Hardangersaken
(Master thesis, 2011-05-31)Denne masteroppgaven tar for seg dekningen av kraftlinjesaken i Hardanger i de tre norske papiravisene VG, Aftenposten (Morgen og Aftenutgaven) og Bergens Tidende. Prosjektet fokuserer på pressens oppgaver, eller ... -
Monsters in the dark: Systematics and biogeography of the stygobitic genus godzillius (crustacea: Remipedia) from the lucayan archipelago
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Remipedia is a stygobitic group commonly associated with coastal anchialine caves. This class consists of 12 genera, ten of which are found within the Lucayan Archipelago. Herein, we describe a new species within the genus ... -

Monte Carlo based comparison of constant vs. variable RBE for proton therapy patients
(Master thesis, 2017-06-21)Around the world, the use of protons as an alternative to photons radiation therapy of cancer is becoming more widespread. The motivations for this is that protons enable a reduction of the radiation dose to health tissue ... -
Monte Carlo based mapping of proton microdosimetric properties
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the microdosimetric properties of monoenergetic proton beams. As the primary goal of radiation therapy is to inactivate cancer cells by damaging their DNA, the energy deposition ... -
A Monte Carlo feasibility study for neutron based real-time range verification in proton therapy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-02-14)Uncertainties in the proton range in tissue during proton therapy limit the precision in treatment delivery. These uncertainties result in expanded treatment margins, thereby increasing radiation dose to healthy tissue. ... -
A Monte Carlo simulation framework for performance evaluation of a proton imaging system without front trackers
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-12-18)Today, radiotherapy is one of the main methods for cancer treatment and it is used to irradiate a tumour with a prescribed dose according to a dose plan designed to irradiate the tumour cells while sparing surrounding ... -
Monte Carlo Simulations of a Moving Target during Spot-Scanning Particle Therapy with Protons
(Master thesis, 2015-06-01)During radiation therapy for cancer, the dose distribution delivered to patients will be affected by the motion of the target volume and the motion of the surrounding tissue and organs. The overall objective of this thesis ... -
Monte Carlo simulations of a scanning system based on a panoramic X-ray tube with a conical anode
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-08-21)Monte Carlo simulations were used to study photon production in a panoramic X-ray tube with a conical tungsten target to determine the optimal characteristics of the target shape and electron beam configuration. Several ... -
Monte Carlo simulations of neutron based in-vivo range verification in proton therapy – characterstics of proton-induced secondary particles
(Master thesis, 2019-12-17)Radiation therapy is an important treatment modality within cancer treatment, with the aim to deliver a high dose to the target volume while sparing the surrounding tissue. Protons have favourable characteristics of ... -
Monte Carlo simulations of neutron based in-vivo range verification in proton therapy – optimization of detector dimensions and positioning
(Master thesis, 2019-12-06)Proton therapy is a cancer treatment modality expanding in clinical applications around the world. Due to the finite range of a monoenergetic proton beam, it is possible to spare more of the healthy tissue surrounding the ... -
Monte Carlo simulations of neutron doses from pencil beam scanning proton therapy
(Master thesis, 2017-06-13)Introduction: Proton therapy is a more advanced form of radiotherapy that allows better dose conformity to the tumor and a homogeneous dose distribution. A side effect however is the production of secondary neutrons generated ... -
Monte Carlo Simulations of Occupational Radiation Exposure During X-ray Guided Interventional Cardiology Procedures
(Master thesis, 2021-03-05)X-ray imaging is widely used as a diagnostic tool in many medical fields. Medical personnel can often reduce their exposure with distance and sufficient radiation protection, as they do not have to be close to the radiation ... -
