(University of Queensland, Brisbane, 2003)The aim of this thesis is to show how character analysis can be used to approach conceptions of saga authorship in medieval Iceland. The idea of possession is a metaphor that is adopted early in the thesis, and is used to describe Icelandic sagas as ... -
(Biomed Central LTD, 2014-07-11)Background: Telephone helplines are easily available and can offer anonymity. Alcohol helplines may be a potential gateway to a more advanced support protocol, and they may function as a primary support option for some. However, although telephone ...

(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2014-05-01)Changes in regulatory DNA contribute to phenotypic differences within and between taxa. Comparative studies show that many transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) are conserved between species whereas functional studies reveal that some mutations ...

(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Life and Environmental Sciences, 2018-10-30)Apicomplexans comprise a group of unicellular, often highly pathogenic, obligate parasites infecting both vertebrates and invertebrates, exploiting either one (monoxenous) or two hosts (heteroxenous) to complete a full reproductive life cycle. Their ...

(The Educational Research Institute, 2017-12-22)Markmið rannsóknarinnar var að skoða hvernig nám í tvískiptu kerfi löggiltra iðngreina fer fram á Íslandi, nánar tiltekið hvort samfella sé í skipulagi námsins og samhengi milli námsins í skóla og á vinnustað. Tekin voru viðtöl við sveina, kennara ...

(Menntavísindasvið Háskóla Íslands, 2016-09-19)Í greininni er fjallað um stöðu nemenda sem eiga við námsvanda að stríða innan skólakerfisins. Fyrri rannsóknir hafa sýnt að námserfiðleikar eru einn helsti áhættuþátturinn að baki brotthvarfi úr námi. Greint er frá niðurstöðum nýlegrar rannsóknar ...

(2016)Með þátttöku íslenska skólakerfisins í alþjóðlegum samanburðarrannsóknum (TIMSS, PISA o.fl.) hefur náttúruvísindamenntun ótvírætt hlotið vaxandi athygli. Jafnframt hefur hugmyndinni um „náttúruvísindamenntun fyrir alla“ vaxið fiskur um hrygg. Meginmarkmið ...

(Stofnun stjórnsýslufræða og stjórnmala við Háskóla Íslands, 2015)We advance and empirically test the idea that people on both the far right and far left will be more likely than political moderates to perceive the system as fair, as long as it serves their heightened needs for security. We argue that political ...

(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2017-01-03)Neonatal foals respond poorly to conventional vaccines. These vaccines typically target T-helper (Th) cell dependent B-cell activation. However, Th2-cell immunity is impaired in foals during the first three months of life. In contrast, neonatal basophils ...
-
(University of Iceland, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, 2019-01-10)The MITF, TFEB, TFE3 and TFEC (MiT-TFE) proteins belong to a larger family of basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper transcription factors that are able to bind DNA and regulate gene expression. MITF is crucial for melanocyte development and has been ...
-
(Hindawi Limited, 2016)The human brain adapts to changing demands by altering its functional and structural properties (neuroplasticity) which results in learning and acquiring skills. Convergent evidence from both human and animal studies suggests that enhanced physical ...
-
(Springer Nature, 2016-12)Background Data on the haematological outcomes of patients who continue clozapine treatment following neutropenia are very rare as even mild neutropenia results in mandatory discontinuation of clozapine in most countries. However, in Iceland where ...
-
(MDPI AG, 2018-01-20)A new lava field was formed at Holuhraun in the Icelandic Highlands, north of Vatnajökull glacier, in 2014–2015. It was the largest effusive eruption in Iceland for 230 years, with an estimated lava bulk volume of ~1.44 km3 covering an area of ~84 km2. ...
-
(University of Iceland, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, 2016-10)Introduction: Nocturnal gastroesophageal reflux (nGER) is associated with respiratory symptoms and sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), but a causal relationship has not been established. The aim of this project was to investigate the association between ...
-
(Wiley, 2017-11-06)The prevalence and consequences of nasal obstruction in untreated obstructive sleep apnea patients are not known. The study objectives were to investigate the frequency of subjective and objective nasal obstruction in untreated sleep apnea patients and ...
-
(MDPI AG, 2018-03-20)Hyperspectral remote sensing is based on measuring the scattered and reflected electromagnetic signals from the Earth’s surface emitted by the Sun. The received radiance at the sensor is usually degraded by atmospheric effects and instrumental (sensor) ...
-
(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science, 2019-05-20)High-temperature geothermal wells are drilled in stages and constructed of several concentric steel casings that are cemented over their entire external surface for sealing and structural support purposes. The structural integrity of such casings is ...
-
(Hindawi Limited, 2016-12)Muscle degeneration has been consistently identified as an independent risk factor for high mortality in both aging populations and individuals suffering from neuromuscular pathology or injury. While there is much extant literature on its quantification ...
-
(California Institute of Technology, 2008)This thesis considers the problem of detecting and estimating highly oscillatory signals from noisy measurements. These signals are often referred to as chirps in the literature; they are found everywhere in nature, and frequently arise in scientific ...
-
(Springer Nature, 2017-08)We compute holographic Rényi entropies for spherical entangling surfaces on the boundary while considering third order Lovelock gravity with negative cosmological constant in the bulk. Our study shows that third order Lovelock black holes with hyperbolic ...
