• Trollfolkets vårfest (Valborgsaften)

  Hagen, Rune Blix (Chronicle; Kronikk, 30-Apr-2013)

  Abstract:

  Feiring av natt til første mai, Valborgsaften eller Valborgsmesseaften, har ingen spesielle tradisjoner i Norge. I andre nordiske slik som Finland og Sverige har man derimot lange tradisjoner for å markere den siste dagen i april som en av årets store festdager. Slik er det også i Tyskland. Alle fortellinger om heksenes nattlige ritt til Blokksberg er lagt til nettopp denne dagen, eller nærmere bestemt til natten mellom april og mai. Selv om datoen ikke har noen tradisjon i Norge, er Troms en sentral del av folkloren omkring Valborgsaften fra andre nordiske land.

  Abstract:

  Background: This article aims to understand the family planning (FP) knowledge and current use of contraception and its predictors among women of the Mru people – the most underprivileged indigenous community in Bangladesh. Methods: In this study, 374 currently married Mru women were interviewed and selected purposively from three upazilas (administrative subdistricts) of the Bandarban area, where most of the Mru people live. The association between the variables was assessed in bivariate analysis using the Chi-square test and binary logistic regression models were employed to explore the predictors of FP knowledge and current use of contraception among the Mru women. Results: Only about 40% of respondents had ever heard FP messages or about FP methods – two-fifths of the national figure (99.9%). The current use of contraception was much lower (25.1%) among the Mru people than at the national level (55.8%). Among both modern and traditional methods, the contraceptive pill ranked first. About two-thirds (66.0%) of married women used this method – more than two times than the national figure (28.5%). On the other hand, the prevalence of male methods was comparatively lower than at the national level. Logistic regression models revealed that place of residence, religion, age, school attendance, husband's school attendance, service provided in the community, distance to the service center, and exposure to mass media had significant effects on knowledge of FP and on use of contraception. Conclusion: Education for mothers and vernacular language-based doorstep FP programs with special emphasis on awareness are suggested for the community.

• Svalbardforskning og Svalbardpolitikk 1870-1925. Forskere som politiske aktører

  Abstract:

  The research and commercial activity in the Scandinavian portion of the Arctic increased appreciably in the last decades of the 19th century and up until the 1920s. Not unexpectedly, the idea arose during this period to bring the largest group of the as yet unclaimed Arctic islands, Spitsbergen, under Norwegian or Swedish control. Norwegian political ambitions in the far north seem to have expanded proportionally with economic and scientific activity. What role did science play in this process? In the contest to win Svalbard, Norwegian authorities deliberately used research results and research activity as justification that Spitsbergen was Norwegian. Also, Spitsbergen researchers worked systematically towards a Norwegian conquest of the archipelago, economic and cultural at first, but ultimately political

• Norsk-russiske vitenskapelige relasjoner innen arktisk forskning 1814-2014

  Abstract:

  Norway and Russia are both northern states, who administer vast maritime zones and land territories in the Arctic. Because of this, in both states we find a distinct northern focus that has occupied a prominent place, not least inside the field of sciences over the last two centuries. During the last decades of the 19th century there developed a handful of so to say specific arctic research disciplines, such as Arctic oceanographic studies, meteorology, auroral research, and also fishery related research.Throughout the different sub disciplines of arctic research, Norwegian and Russian scientists have held parallel research interests over the last two centuries. This hasled to a strongly felt need for exchange of data and knowledge across the border, and also a desire to conduct transnational studies. The article explores the border crossing Norwegian-Russian scientific networks in arctic research through the 19th century.

• Fortellinger i nordnorsk minoritetshistorie

  Ryymin, Teemu; Nyyssönen, Jukka (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)

  Abstract:

  Den norske historieskrivingen om samene og kvenene har fra 1970-tallet av vært preget av skiftende måter å fortelle om disse store nordlige etniske minoritetenes historie. I denne artikkelen diskuterer vi hvilke fortellingsmønstre som har preget den norske historieskrivingen om samene og kvenene, og hva slags betydning de ulike fortellingsmønstrene kan sies å ha hatt. Vi identifiserer tre fortellingsmønstre som grovt sagt har dominert hvert sitt tiår: Synliggjøringshistorier, fortellinger om assimilering og fortellinger om agens. Disse fortellingene har imidlertid ikke avløst hverandre suksessivt, men er blitt etablert lag på lag. Slik sett har den nordnorske minoritet shistorien blitt stadig mer mangfoldig.
