'My Friend Bubz': Building intimacy on YouTube’s beauty community
No full textThis chapter presents the scholarly dialogue focused on digital culture practices at the intersection of digital fandom and celebrity culture. It examines the way in which content fosters different modes of address and promotes various types of connection with viewers. The chapter describes how viewers consume Bubz's different types of content, and often reciprocate by engaging in self-disclosing narratives through comments. Bubz's more than 300 videos can be grouped into four categories, which it term 'content-oriented', 'market-oriented', 'relational' and 'motivational'. The chapter shows that YouTube videos or videos disclosing intimate and personal moments as 'videos of affinity' that strengthen feelings of closeness and connection between viewers and content creators. It focuses on a broader ethnographic examination of YouTube, specifically its beauty community, between 2013 and 2015. The chapter considers a purposeful sample of 20 videos, which were transcribed and interpreted in light of their qualities of building and strengthening feelings of connection and intimacy with viewers

Ice dynamics and meltwater deposits: coring in the Kveithola trough, NW Barents Sea: CORIBAR project.
No full textThe warming of the past decades has been more pronounced in
the Arctic than elsewhere on the globe. Although the
observational data indicates significant temporal and spatial
variability in the Arctic, the few existing instrumental records are
too short to determine the full potential range of Arctic climate
variability that is crucial to achieve realistic future projections.
Unravelling past environmental change in the Arctic beyond the
instrumental period can therefore only be achieved by
investigating a suite of proxy records. The rate of ice-sheet
retreat across polar continental shelves, ice-stream collapses and
their relationships to short-term sea-level changes during
deglacial periods are a matter of debate. However, if the
associated catchment area and ice reservoir of an ice-stream
system are locally restricted, the deposits which typically form in
such an environment record sensitively these ice advance and
retreat dynamics as a result of climatic variability. The Svalbard
archipelago is located in the Arctic within the northernmost reach
of the West Spitsbergen Current (WSC), which is the major
pathway both for heat and water volume transport to the Arctic
Ocean. The WSC enters the Arctic Ocean through the Fram
Strait, the only deepwater connection between Arctic and Atlantic
oceans. This gateway plays a fundamental role in controlling the oceanographic and climatic conditions of the Atlantic sector of
the Northern Hemisphere. With the CORIBAR project, we want to
decipher rapid climatic changes in the north-Atlantic context by
1) reconstructing the ice-stream dynamics in the Kveithola region
(NW Barents Sea); 2) understanding the sedimentation dynamics
at the neighbouring continental slope in response to meltwater
discharge and ice-stream history; 3) investigating the
sedimentation dynamics and depocentre formations on the
associated shallow continental shelf; and 4) reconstructing the
sea-ice history with regard to changes in marine productivity and
deep-water formation processes along the western Svalbard
continental slope.The CORIBAR project is supported by GEUS
(Denmark), Bremen Univ. (Germany), OGS-Trieste (Italy),
Tromsø Univ. (Norway) and Spanish Research Council (Spain).
The CORIBAR cruise, scheduled for July-August 2013, will focus
on sediments to date, to investigate deglaciation phases of the
SBSIS and to evaluate the effect of sediment-laden melt-water
plumes on ocean circulation and biota. The cruise will be
performed on board the R/V Maria S. Merian with the MeBo
seafloor drill rig system (which can obtain sediment cores with
length of up to 80 m) and sedimentacoustic and conventional
coring program
Glacier Area Outline 2018-2019
No full textSentinel-2 imagery were used to map the extent of Norway’s glaciers over 2018–19. A standardized semi-automated band ratio method was used to derive glacier outlines. To optimise the results, manual edits of ice-lake interfaces, debris, snow, and parts of the glaciers situated under shadow were applied. The data set and the uncertainties are described in Andreassen et al. (2022; Journal of Glaciology)
Vulnerable Men in Contemporary Norwegian Short Stories written bra Kyrre Andreassen, Jan Kristoffer Dale og Frode Grytten
No full textMasteroppgaven undersøker tre noveller hentet fra tre norske novellesamlinger som skildrer unge og eldre menn. Novellene som blir utforsket er «Det er her du har venna dine» (1997) av Kyrre Andreassen, «Arbeidsnever» (2016) av Jan Kristoffer Dale og Frode Gryttens «Vent til du ser meg danse» (2016). De tre novellene forteller om menn i ulike situasjoner. Andreassen viser en ung mann fra bygda som liker å gå på skole, Dales hovedperson strever med jobben på en flaskesorteringsfabrikk, mens Gryttens jeg-forteller jobber som bilhenter og er far til en gutt med en diagnose. Jeg analyserer novellene og finner ut at leseren forstår at mennene er sårbare, og at de ikke svarer til forestillingen om «sterke mannfolk». Selv om de ikke sier stort om sitt følelsesliv, kan forfatterne ved hjelp av novellesjangeren gi innblikk i deres utsatthet.
Det teoretiske fundamentet i oppgaven består av affektteori, tekster om novellesjangeren og maskulinitetsteori. Sara Ahmeds teori om følelser hjelper til å forstå at tingene i novellene får frem følelsene til mennene. Refleksjoner om novellesjangeren, slik de finnes hos Asbjørn Aarseth, Aasta Marie Bjorvand Bjørkøy og Lars Arild og Jørgen Haugan, bidrar til å løfte frem strukturelle og språklige aspekter ved tekstene. R. W. Connells teori om menn og maskulinitet er egnet til å forklare hvorfor mennene i novellene opplever situasjonen sin som vanskelig.
Novellesjangerens komprimerte form gjør at objekter og gjenstander som er med i fortellingen blir viktige. Blant funnene mine er de metaforiske og metonymiske bevegelsene i tekstene som lar leseren forstå hvordan mennene som skildres har det. Også narrative grep som og analepser belyser hovedpersonenes situasjon og understreker deres sårbarhet. Til tross for det korte formatet får leseren et godt innblikk i hvor komplisert det er for mennene å skulle forholde seg til ulike maskulinitetsideal fremmet av andre menn og/eller deres partnere.This thesis explores examines three short stories from three Norwegian short story collections that depict young and older men. The stories explored are «Det er her du har venna dine» (1997) by Kyrre Andreassen, «Arbeidsnever» (2016) by Jan Kristoffer Dale and Frode Grytten`s «Vent til du ser meg danse» (2016). These three stories tell about men in different situations. Andreassen portrays a young man from a small town who enjoys going to school, Dale`s main character struggles with his job at a bottle-sorting factory, while Grytten`s first-person narrator works with transporting cars and is the father of a boy with a diagnosis. I analyse the short stories and find that the reader understand that the men are vulnerable and do not confirm to the idea of «strong men». Although they don’t say much about their emotions, the authors, through the short story genre, can provide insight in their vulnerability.
The theoretical foundation of the thesis consists of affect theory, texts on the short story genre and masculinity theory. Sara Ahmed`s theory about emotions helps to understand that the things in the stories bring out the men`s emotions. Reflections on the shjort story genre, as found in the works of Asbjørn Aarseth, Aasta Marie Bjorvand Bjørkøy and Lars Arild and Jørgen Haugan, contributes to throw light on structural and linguistic aspects of the texts. R. W. Connell`s theory on men and masculinity is suitable for explaining why the men in the short stories find their situations difficult.
The compact form of the short story genre makes objects and things in the stories important. Among my findings are that the metaphorical and metonymic movements in the texts allow the reader to understand how the men in the stories feel. Also narrative techniques such as analepses also show the main characters` situations and emphasize their vulnerability. Despite the short format, the reader gains a good insight into how complicated it is for the men to conduct themselves to different masculinity ideals promoted by other men and/or their partners.Mastergradsoppgave i nordisk spr�k og litteraturNOLISP350MAHF-NORDMAHF-LÆN
Digitized patient-provider interaction: How does it matter? A qualitative meta-synthesis.
No full textSociological interest in the digitization of health has predominantly been studied using qualitative approaches. Research in this field has grown steadily since the late 1990's but to date, no synthesis has been conducted to integrate this now rather comprehensive corpus of data. In this paper we present a meta-ethnography of 15 papers reporting qualitative studies of digitally mediated patient - professional interactions. By dissecting the detailed descriptions of digitized practices in this most basic relationship in health care, we explore how these studies can illuminate important aspects of social relations in contemporary society. Our interpretative synthesis enables us to reassert a sociological view that places changes in social structures and interaction at the core of questions about the digitization of health care. Our synthesis of this literature identifies four key concepts that point at structural processes of change. We argue that when patient-professional interactions are digitized, relations are respatialized, and there are reconnections of relational components. These lead to empirically specific reactions, which can be characterized as reconstitutions and renegotiations of social practices which in turn are related to the reconfiguration of basic social institutions. We propose a new direction for exploring the digitalization of health care to illuminate how digital health is related to contemporary social change
