Sex-specific genetic analysis indicates low correlation between demographic and genetic connectivity in the Scandinavian brown bear (Ursus arctos)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The degree of gene flow within and among populations, i.e. genetic population connectivity, may closely track demographic population connectivity. Alternatively, the rate of gene flow may change relative to the rate of ... -
Sexual dimorphism and visitation effects on fruit set in the alpine gynodioecious Silene acaulis at Finse, Norway.
(Master thesis, 2015-08-10)The abundance of pollinators in alpine areas are scarce due to harsh and unstable weather conditions. This scarcity can lead to pollen limitation in unisexual plants and drive evolution towards self-compatible plants. ... -
Sexual violence as a weapon in war
(Master thesis, 2018)The use of rape and sexual violence towards civilian women in war is not a new phenomenon. However, it is not until recently that this has become an issue on the international agenda. This thesis will use Feminist ... -

SFO-måltidet : en ubenyttet ressurs i folkehelsearbeidet?
(Master thesis, 2017)Bakgrunn: Kosthold er en viktig helsedeterminant som særlig påvirker forekomsten av livsstilsykdommer. Det er store sosiale helseforskjeller i forekomsten av både sykdommene og risikofaktorene for disse. Regjeringens nye ... -
Shallow Impurity Band in ZrNiSn
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)ABSTRACT ZrNiSn and related half Heusler compounds are candidate materials for efficient thermoelectric energy conversion with a reported thermoelectric figure-of-merit of n-type ZrNiSn exceeding unity. Progress on p-type ... -
Shallow water waves and boundary effects
(Master thesis, 2013-08-07)This thesis is written in cooperation with Nexans Norway AS and evaluates wave theories applied in calculations of wave loads on submarine structures. Nexans Norway AS has provided metocean and soil data from an on-going ... -

Shared Space : fysiske og funksjonelle forutsetninger for implementering
(Master thesis, 2014-02-13)Bruken av det offentlige rom har endret seg betydelig gjennom tidene. I løpet av det 20. århundre oppsto det en idéologi om å isolere de ulike funksjonene i offentlige rom fra hverandre. Årsaken var strukturelle problemer ... -
Shear reinforcement of cracked glulam beams
(Master thesis, 2021)Timber materials for construction have long traditions in Norway, mostly used for smaller and domestic buildings. The expansion of engineered timber such as glulam and CLT has made timber usable also in buildings where ... -

Sheep breeding schemes for Iceland
(Master thesis, 2011-10-04)Altogether 540 alternatives for the Icelandic sheep breeding scheme were evaluated by stochastic simulation of a breeding population with about 120.000 ewes, considering the genetic gain for an aggregate genotype including ... -
Sheep breeds in contrasting environments - pasture utilization at different spatiotemporal scales
(PhD Thesis;2018:24, Doctoral thesis, 2018)In Norway, approximately 2 million sheep are released onto outer fields for summer grazing. Indeed, during the summer months sheep are the most common large herbivores in most Norwegian mountain areas. The sheep, of which ... -
Sheep grazing effects on soil carbon and nitrogen and implications for runoff water quality at a low alpine site in southern Norway
(2011;2011:10, Doctoral thesis, 2011)Grazing in outlying fields has a long history and is important in local communities worldwide. Alpine ecosystems, representing a large proportion of the land area in Europe, are under pressure from changes in climate and ... -
Shift in tree species changes the belowground biota of boreal forests
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The replacement of native birch with Norway spruce has been initiated in Norway to increase long-term carbon storage in forests. However, there is limited knowledge on the impacts that aboveground changes will have on the ... -

Shift work and sleep : a study investigating the agreement between subjective and objective assessed sleep, and the association between variation in rotating shifts and sleep among nurses
(Master thesis, 2017)Background: The modern society is dependent on shift workers for 24-hour services. Shift work is associated with a number of different negative health outcomes, most evidently the disruption of sleep. Sleep disturbance is ... -
Shifts in plany communities caused by vegetation clearing in power-line corridors
(Master thesis, 2014-09-15)Habitat modification has been identified as one of the major threats to biodiversity and has increased over recent years due to growing human population and demand for resources. One omnipresent form of habitat modification ... -
Shifts in risk sensitivity and resource availability alter fat stores for a large mammal following extreme winter conditions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)For species that inhabit environments where resource availability may be unpredictable, balance of resource allocation to life-history traits can have heightened consequences for survival, reproduction, and ultimately, ... -
