Abstract: Denne artikkelen har fokus på hvordan og hvorfor kvendrakten ble skapt. Hvordan skriver skapelsen av denne drakten seg inn i norsk folkedrakt- og bunadtradisjon? Klær har mange funksjoner, men i denne sammenhengen vil jeg se på det visuelle og identitetsskapende aspektet ved bekledning.

Abstract: In this article I look more closely at how Kven culture and history gained their place in museums and what processes led to the foundation of these museums. In addition, I shall attempt to identify how Kven culture and history have been portrayed and which accounts of the Kven have been presented by these museums. In this context it is instructive to look more closely at why these museums may be understood to be upholders of tradition, places of remembrance and narrators.

Abstract: Due to major shifts in the marine ecosystem, many seabirds in the NE Atlantic have experienced short- and long-term breeding failures and population changes. One such seabird is the Atlantic puffin Fratercula arctica, the populations of which have declined in Norway at an annual rate of 2% over a ~30 yr period. Parallel to this decline, we found a significant decline in egg volume at 2 widely separated Norwegian colonies situated in different marine ecoregions, a decline that is unprecedented among auks. In birds, egg production is costly for the female and varies in response to the amount of energy available for reproduction. Whereas proximate factors determining egg size are largely unknown, food availability prior to egg-laying is considered important. Using generalised least-square models, we demonstrate that the declines in egg size were driven by interannual changes in abundances of capelin Mallotus villosus and early life stages of herring Clupea harengus and haddock Melanogrammus aeglefinus, all of which are important prey of Atlantic puffins in these colonies. Furthermore, changes in climatic variables, such as sea temperature and the North Atlantic Oscillation, suggest that other prey may also have played a role in determining puffin egg size. The decline in egg size may reduce the quality of future breeders and hence have negative effects on puffin populations. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10037/5034 File(s) in this item: 1

Abstract: In 1977 a monument in memory of the Finnish immigrants was erected in Vadsø, the capital town of the county of Finnmark. The unveiling ceremony of the monument was an exceptional event, where the Norwegian king Olav, the Swedish king Carl Gustav and the Finnish president Uhro Kekkonen attended. The purpose of the monument was to pay tribute to the Finnish immigrants and their contribution to the North Norwegian communities. These immigrants were also known as Kven, an old Scandinavian term for people with a Finnish cultural background who moved to North Norway in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. By going back to the memorial-making process, I have reinvested the monument with the memory of its acquired past. It is argued that the construction of the monument in Vadsø was not only a kind of reconstruction of the past and a kind of public mnemonic technique, but also a contribution to the discourse about the present and the future. This monument may be seen as a process where the immigrant’s identity was tied to the place, both the geographical space and as an ethnic group in a multiethnic society. The monument may also be interpreted as a first “battle” to draw attention to the Kvens, and a first attempt to revitalize Kven culture and identity.

Abstract: Indigenous peoples, like the Sami of Fenno-Scandinavia, continue to be the object of museum display in ethnographic museums. Most of these exhibits focus predominantly on culture history via objects that reveal the quality and richness of indigenous cultures, with less emphasis on the political struggles that indigenous peoples are involved in. This paper is a reflection on the experiences in making a museum representation of a modern indigenous movement – the struggle of Sami in Norway for recognition and rights as an indigenous people. The project was meant not just to present a new way to represent indigenous peoples, but also to be designed as an argument in the ongoing ethnopolitical discourse on equity and difference in Sami- Norwegian relations URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10037/5046 File(s) in this item: 1

Abstract: The objective of this chapter is to give an overview and analysis of the current trends and developments in biotechnology in aquaculture research and management. The technological developments along with structural changes in the aquaculture sector may affect access and intellectual property rights (IPR) regimes. These issues will be discussed in a wide perspective involving both short and long-term biological effects, ethical and other social aspects (economic, legal and political issues), including their partly inherent contradictions needing compromising for sustainable development. The chapter will focus on current biological challenges within aquaculture as a growing food production sector, with less emphasis on external effects such as environmental effects. Cases from farmed salmon and cod in Norway in addition to shrimp and tilapia in Asia will be highlighted. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10037/4614 File(s) in this item: 1

Abstract: Nordlysobservatoriet i Tromsø ble høytidelig innviet 6. august 1930. Et 25-års jubileum ble markert med en tilstelning 30. juli 1955. Ved 25-års jubileet i 1955 ble det utarbeidet et festskrift - men det var ikke penger til å få det trykt. Desto gledeligere er det at vi til 50-års jubileet får anledning til et spesialhefte av OTTAR for å beskrive Nordlysobservatoriets historie og virksomhet, et hefte som er ustyrt med fargebilder.

Abstract: The Norwegian population of the Common Guillemot Uria aalge has declined by > 95% since the 1960s, and is classified as critically endangered in the Norwegian Red List. Much of the recent decline has been attributed to reduced food availability, but without extensive documentation of adult diet. Instead, chick diet has been considered a proxy of adult diet during the breeding season in many Norwegian studies. Central place foraging theory, especially for single-prey loaders, however, predicts that this may not be so and this study compares directly the diet of adult and chick Common Guillemots during the breeding season at a colony in NE Norway. Whereas chicks were fed mainly capelin (Mallotus villosus) and sandeels (Ammodytes sp.), most of the adult diet consisted of the two youngest year classes of Gadidae, probably cod (Gadus morhua) and haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus). A successful ecosystem management of seabirds is dependent on a full understanding of how prey quality, abundance and availability influence seabird populations and their viability such that knowing the true diet of adult Common Guillemots has important implications in the modelling and management of the Norwegian populations.

Abstract: Cowpox virus, which has been used to protect humans against smallpox but may cause severe disease in immunocompromised persons, has reemerged in humans, domestic cats, and other animal species in Europe. Orthopoxvirus (OPV) DNA was detected in tissues (lung, kidney, spleen) in 24 (9%) of 263 free-ranging Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) from Sweden. Thymidine kinase gene amplicon sequences (339 bp) from 21 lynx were all identical to those from cowpox virus isolated from a person in Norway and phylogenetically closer to monkeypox virus than to vaccinia virus and isolates from 2 persons with cowpox virus in Sweden. Prevalence was higher among animals from regions with dense, rather than rural, human populations. Lynx are probably exposed to OPV through predation on small mammal reservoir species. We conclude that OPV is widely distributed in Sweden and may represent a threat to humans. Further studies are needed to verify whether this lynx OPV is cowpox virus.

Abstract: In this paper my aim is to read and understand the journal of Gerrit de Veer from the last journey of William Barents to the Arctic Regions in 1596 and the journal of captain Junge on his hunting trip from Tromsø to Svalbard in 1834.It is nearly 240 years between this to voyages. The first journal is known as the earliest report from the arctic era. Gerrit de Veer adds instructive copper engravings to his text and give us insight in the crews meeting with this new land. Captain Junges journal is found together with his dead crew in a house in a fjord nearby Ny-Ålesund and has no drawings, but word. Both of these journals may be read as sources of the knowledge and understanding of the polar region. They might also unveil the ideas of how to deal with and survive under the challenges that is given. In addition one can ask if the sources can tell us more about how men describe their challenges. Can the way they expressed themselves in the journals give us an understanding of masculinity? And not least help us to create good questions of the change in the ideas of masculinities which is said to follow the change in understanding of the wilderness.

Abstract: Global change is expected to lead to range shifts of plant species. The ecological mechanisms underpinning these shifts are currently not well understood. Here, we compared ecological responses possibly underlying southern range contraction and northern range expansion of Empetrum nigrum, a key species in northern heathlands, which may be related to global change. We hypothesized a negative response to warming in the ‘south’ (i.e. the Netherlands) and a positive response at the northern range margin (the tundra on Svalbard). Open top chambers (OTCs) were used to simulate global warming. In the ‘south’, OTC warming caused enhanced shoot growth and growth rate, biomass increment, advanced phenology, larger and heavier berries of Empetrum, while its growing season was extended by 75 days. Under OTC warming co-occurring Calluna vulgaris also showed an increased growing season length (by 98 days) as well as increased shoot growth rate and biomass growth, plant cover and height. Still, we found no evidence for increased competitiveness relative to Empetrum. In the ‘north’, Empetrum responded with increased shoot and biomass growth, enhanced berry development and ripening to warming. These responses exceeded those of co-occurring Cassiope tetragona with the exception of its biomass response. The direct and indirect ecological responses found do not readily explain the observed northward retreat of Empetrum at the southern range margin. The direct ecological responses found at its northern range margin are, on the other hand, in line with the increased occurrences of this species on Svalbard.

Abstract: Since 1980, there has been large variation and a recent decline in the mass and body condition of Common Guillemot Uria aalge chicks departing from the nest site in NE Norway. This may be related to deterioration in the feeding conditions off the colony and is alarming considering the critically endangered status of the species in Norway. To measure body condition, earlier studies have caught, weighed and measured guillemot chicks either while still on the breeding site or as they leave the colony. This study emphasises the importance of choosing and defining which method to use as they give different results. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10037/3881 File(s) in this item: 1

Abstract: 2011 is the Nansen-Amundsen Year in Norway. This year celebrate two anniversaries with great significance for Norway. It is 150 years since the birth of Fritdjof Nansen and 100 years since Roald Amundsen, accompanied by four of his men, arrived as the first at the South Pole. During this year several new exhibitions has been made and displayed in different museums in Norway. The article surveys the role of today’s museums has in forming the narratives about the Norwegian polar history, the polar heroes and Roald Amundsen especially. An examination of a so called traditional Polar exhibition shows that their main focus on artifacts and their lack of contextualization, gives the exhibition an aura of authenticity. While new exhibitions are characterized by emphasis on contextualization, critical questions and giving different groups a voice. It is argued that the museums both contributes to conserve the prevailing concepts and representations, but also contributes to give new understandings and perspectives of Roald Amundsen and the Norwegian Polar history. It is important to understand how the museums exhibitions are contributing to the collective memory. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10037/4482 File(s) in this item: 1

Abstract: The synthetic aperture focusing technique (SAFT) is used to create focused images from ultrasound scans. SAFT has traditionally been applied only for imaging in a single medium, but the recently introduced phase shift migration (PSM) algorithm has expanded the use of SAFT to multilayer structures. In this article we present a similar focusing algorithm called multi-layer omega-k (MULOK), which combines PSM and the ω-k algorithm to perform multilayer imaging more efficiently. The asymptotic complexity is shown to be lower for MULOK than for PSM, and this is confirmed by comparing execution times for implementations of both algorithms. To facilitate the complexity analysis, a detailed description of algorithm implementation is included, which also serves as a guide for readers interested in practical implementation. Using data from an experiment with a multilayered structure, we show that there is essentially no difference in image quality between the two algorithms.

Abstract: I artikkelen beskrives og diskuteres to prosjekter der dramastudenter har produsert teater på bakgrunn av profesjonsstudenters praksiserfaringer, og de ferdige produktene har blitt brukt i utdanningen av nye studenter. Hvordan studenter kan bidra gjensidig til hverandres læring, på tvers av profesjonsutdanninger, fakulteter og faggrenser, er artikkelens problemstilling. Gjennom observasjon, filmdokumentasjon, intervju og skriftlige tekster dokumenteres det at studentene har opplevd prosjektene både som motiverende og faglig relevante. Teorigrunnlaget for diskusjon av prosjektene er frigjørende teater og frigjørende pedagogikk. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10037/4870 File(s) in this item: 1

Abstract: About fifty larvae of Cephenemyia ulrichii Brauer (Diptera: Oestridae), some of them nearly fullgrown third instars, were found in the throat of a roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) in June 2007 near Helsinki in Finland. The parasite is considered to be host specific, occurring only in the moose (Alces alces), and this paper is apparently the first report of a successful infestation in an aberrant host.

Abstract: The red-listed, amphi-Atlantic sedge Carex rufina is highly specialized to certain alpine snowbeds, and threatened by current changes in snow cover duration and moisture conditions. Here we address its range-wide genetic diversity, history, and conservation using amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs). Despite extensive primer testing, we detected very low overall diversity (4.1% polymorphic markers). Only a single AFLP phenotype was found throughout Norway and across the Atlantic to Iceland and Greenland, while another was found in Canada, suggesting glacial survival in one East and one West Atlantic refugium. East Atlantic C. rufina has probably been heavily bottlenecked in a small refugium, possibly situated within the maximum limits of the ice sheets. Its lack of diversity is likely maintained through local clonal growth causing longevity of genotypes. Habitat availability appears as the main limiting factor for C. rufina, and its currently occupied habitats need to be preserved to ensure its long-time survival.
