It is not all about the money -A study of social norms based on Adam Smith`s Theory of Moral Sentiments
(Master thesis, 2017-07-01)Social norms have many similarities with Adam Smith`s moral rules of conduct. Basing hypotheses regarding social norms on Smith`s theories on moral behavior, this thesis aims to study whether social norms help explain ... -
“It is with others I feel most alone” - A qualitative study on health promoting communities for autistics
(Master thesis, 2022-05-20)Autistics have been excluded and mistreated by society for decades, due to a fundamental misconception of what the lived experience of autism entails. Alienated by their environment, autistics have been left alone to deal ... -
It pays to be nice: Partner choice as an informal punishment mechanism
(Master thesis, 2016-06-01)Two mechanisms that have been shown to facilitate cooperation are partner choice and punishment, but can partner choice be employed as an informal punishment mechanism? To examine this question I conduct two experiments. ... -
It Pays to be Nice: The Benefits of Cooperating in Markets
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)We contribute to the experimental literature by examining the causal effect of partner choice opportunities on the earnings of different cooperative types. We first elicit cooperative types and then randomly assign subjects ... -
"IT's a Woman's World" En studie av vennskap, valg og inntrykkskontroll blant unge IT-ansatte i Indias nye middelklasse
(Master thesis, 2009-06-19)Avhandlingen tar for seg hvordan unge kvinner står ovenfor en sterke og ofte motstridende forventninger i det de har flyttet fra inn til IT-byen Bangalore for å studere og arbeide i den indiske IT-indsutrien. Kvinnene ... -
"It's All in de Tale": Politics of Narration in Joel Chandler Harris and Charles W. Chesnutt
(Master thesis, 2012-05-14)Joel Chandler Harris' and Charles W. Chesnutt's narrative politics in Uncle Remus: His Songs and His Sayings (1880) and The Conjure Woman (1889) is explored in this thesis. Although the authors have been treated comparatively ... -
"It's all in my head now" Readiness for return to sport after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
(Doctoral thesis, 2022-12-16)Bakgrunn: Det er utfordrende for klinikere å avgjøre om pasienter er klare for å returnere til idrett etter en korsbåndsoperasjon. Grunnen til dette er uklarhet knyttet til hvilke tester og kriterier som bør utgjøre ... -
"It's like you have to fit in either way in both cultures. You have to find a way in between": An exploration of young immigrant women's experiences negotiating cultures in Norway
(Master thesis, 2019-06-07)Unge flyktning kvinner fra Afrika og Asia er en viktig målgruppe for integrering og inkludering i det Norske samfunnet. Det er behov for mer kvalitativ forskning på prosessen å veksle mellom flere kulturer, og ressursene ... -
It's May Pole time'. Public spectacles and Creole people at the Atlantic Coast of Nicaragua.
(Master thesis, 2012-06-21)AbstractThis thesis concerns the importance of festivals in nation-building. Through a six-month period of fieldwork in the city of Bluefields at the Atlantic Coast of Nicaragua, I explore how the Creole festival May Pole ... -
"It's not about winning, it's about participating". Uncovering the determinants of regional participation in the policy-making structures of the European Union
(Master thesis, 2011-05-28)This thesis seeks to uncover which factors determine regional participation in European Union policy-making structures. It does so by conducting a multiple regression analysis of 233 regions from all the 27 member-states ... -
"It's not like a fat camp" - A focus group study of adolescents' experiences on group-based obesity treatment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Background: The health burden related to obesity is rising among children and adolescents along with the general population worldwide. For the individual as well as the society this trend is alarming. Several factors are ... -
It's not real, I invented it. En analyse av Werner Herzogs iscenesetting av virkeligheten i dokumentarfilm
(Master thesis, 2012-09-03)En analyse av Werner Herzogs iscenesetting av virkeligheten i dokumentarfilm. Sentrale dokumentarfilmteoretiske begreper anvendt på fiksjonselementer fra Bells From The Deep (1993) og The White Diamond (2004). -
Item-specific overlap between hallucinatory experiences and cognition in the general population: A three-step multivariate analysis of international multi-site data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Hallucinatory experiences (HEs) can be pronounced in psychosis, but similar experiences also occur in nonclinical populations. Cognitive mechanisms hypothesized to underpin HEs include dysfunctional source monitoring, ... -
Iterative Coupling for Fully Dynamic Poroelasticity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)We present an iterative coupling scheme for the numerical approximation of the mixed hyperbolic-parabolic system of fully dynamic poroelasticity. We prove its convergence in the Banach space setting for an abstract ... -
Iterative Linearisation Schemes for Doubly Degenerate Parabolic Equations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Mathematical models for flow and reactive transport in porous media often involve non-linear, degenerate parabolic equations. Their solutions have low regularity, and therefore lower order schemes are used for the numerical ... -
Iterative methods for solving the Multiple Network Poroelastic Theory (MPET) model
(Master thesis, 2022-01-17) -
Iterative schemes for solving coupled, non-linear flow and transport in porous media
(Master thesis, 2016-12-24)In this thesis we compare different iterative approaches for solving the non-linear, coupled multiphase flow and reactive transport in porous media. Especially, we consider two-phase flow and one a-half phase flow (modeled ... -
Iterative schemes for surfactant transport in porous media
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)In this work, we consider the transport of a surfactant in variably saturated porous media. The water flow is modelled by the Richards equations and it is fully coupled with the transport equation for the surfactant. Three ... -
Iterative solvers for Biot model under small and large deformation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)We consider L-scheme and Newton-based solvers for Biot model under large deformation. The mechanical deformation follows the Saint Venant-Kirchoff constitutive law. Furthermore, the fluid compressibility is assumed to be ... -
Iterative solvers for poromechanics : Iterative solvers for poromechanics
(Doctoral thesis, 2019-11-22)This thesis concerns iterative solvers for poromechanics problems. The problems in the studies have involved linear poromechanics, non-linear poromechanics, and poromechanics under large deformation. We included high order ...
