I denne rapporten oppsummerer vi hovedlinjene fra «Dialogkonferanse om ledelse av studieprogram ved UiT Norges arktiske universitet». Rapporten skisserer konturene av et mulig konsept for å styrke kunnskap om utøvelse av studieprogramledelse. Vi har et særlig blikk på hvilke rammevilkår og virkemidler som bør omkranse ledelse på et studieprogramnivå og til innholdet i-, og formen på et ...

The mapping of innovations, as opposed to taxonomic features, has so far been little used in historical linguistics and dialect geography. Here I show with two examples from Peninsular North Germanic how linguistic theory may cast light on complex mosaics of geographically competing features and how dialect geography can help choose between competing reconstructions. This research builds on a database ...

The peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPARs) are important drug targets in treatment of metabolic and inflammatory disorders. Fibrates, acting as PPARα agonists, have been widely used lipid-lowering agents for decades. However, the currently available PPARα targeting agents show low subtype-specificity and consequently a search for more potent agonists have emerged. In this study, previously ...

Prosodic features are some of the most salient features of dialect variation in Norway. It is therefore no wonder that the switch in prosodic systems is what is first recognized by caretakers and scholars when Norwegian children code-switch to something resembling the dialect of the capital (henceforth Urban East Norwegian, UEN) in role-play. With a focus on the system of lexical tonal accents, this ...

Resource rent in aquaculture (RRA) is any payment to a farm and site owner, on land or sea, in excess of the costs needed to bring that farm into production. For analytic and policy purposes it may be useful to distinguish among different types of RRA. Three types will be discussed: rent associated with the classical economists Ricardo (1821) and Faustmann (1849), as well as oligopoly rent from ...

Using a participatory research approach, we assess the knowledge systems and political ontology of reindeer husbandry. The study was conducted by a mixed team of scientists and Sámi reindeer herders who practiced reindeer husbandry in West Finnmark, northern Norway, both prior to and during the state-led “rationalization” of Sámi reindeer husbandry since the late 1970s. The analysis is based on the ...

A critical element in any observational program is to remotely monitor instrument health and performance. Simple real-time plots provide this type of information and in addition they contain valuable space weather information for nowcasting and acquisition of situational awareness. Several software packages exist for plotting and scaling (analysis) of ionospheric soundings [1,2] using the Canadian ...

We develop a methodology for calculating, analyzing, and visualizing nuclear magnetic shielding densities which are calculated from the current density via the Biot–Savart relation. Atomic contributions to nuclear magnetic shielding constants can be estimated within our framework with a Becke partitioning scheme. The new features have been implemented in the GIMIC program and are applied in this ...

I et globalt perspektiv ligger noen av de største utfordringene og mulighetene vi står overfor i dag i polarområdene. Virkningene av klimaendringene vil slå sterkt ut i polarområdene, med mindre sjøis, havnivåstigning og endringer i dyre- og planteliv som viktige konsekvenser. Noen av de rikeste og minst utnyttede marine naturressursene ligger i Arktis og Antarktis. Norge er det eneste land i ...
