    • Full Transfer Potential in L3/Ln Acquisition Crosslinguistic Influence as a Property-by-Property Process 

      Westergaard, Marit Kristine Richardsen; Mitrofanova, Natalia; Rodina, Yulia; Slabakova, Roumyana (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-07-13)
      This chapter discusses L3/Ln acquisition as a step-by-step acquisition process, where crosslinguistic influence is considered to be the result of co-activation of lexical items and syntactic structures of the previously acquired languages in processing. That is, as argued by the Linguistic Proximity Model and the Scalpel Model, L3/Ln acquisition is learning by parsing/processing. The main focus of ...
    • The functional and structural asymmetries of the superior temporal sulcus 

      Specht, Karsten; Wigglesworth, Philip (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-22)
      The superior temporal sulcus (STS) is an anatomical structure that increasingly interests researchers. This structure appears to receive multisensory input and is involved in several perceptual and cognitive core functions, such as speech perception, audiovisual integration, (biological) motion processing and theory of mind capacities. In addition, the superior temporal sulcus is not only one of the ...
    • Functional neural architecture of cognitive control mediates the relationship between individual differences in bilingual experience and behaviour 

      Carter, Felix; DeLuca, Vincent; Segaert, Katrien; Mazaheri, Ali; Krott, Andrea (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-03)
      Bilinguals have often, but not always, been found to outperform monolinguals on domain-general attentional control. Inconsistent findings have been argued to stem, at least partly, from treating bilingualism as a uniform category and from not considering how neural adaptations to bilingual experiences modulate behavioural outcomes. The present study investigated how patterns of language experience, ...
    • Functional Outcomes of Children Identified Early in the Developmental Period as at Risk for ASD Utilizing the The Norwegian Mother, Father and Child Cohort Study (MoBa) 

      Stenberg, Nina; Schjølberg, Synnve; Shic, Frederick; Volkmar, Fred R.; Øyen, Anne-Siri; Bresnahan, Michaeline; Svendsen, Britt Kveim; Tetzchner, Stephen von; Thronæs, Nina Torheim; Macari, Suzanne; Cicchetti, Domenic V.; Chawarska, Katarzyna; Suren, Pål; Øien, Roald A (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-18)
      Early identification of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is regarded as crucial for swift access to early intervention and, subsequently, better outcomes later in life. However, current instruments miss large proportions of children who later go on to be diagnosed with ASD, raising a question of what these instruments measure. The present study utilized data from the Norwegian Mother, Father, and Child ...
    • Functionings and Failures: Challenges to Human Security as a Local Capability 

      Holm, Nikolai (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2013-06-01)
      This thesis focusses on the perspectives of community level actors in Liberia regarding their efforts to pursue locally valued human security objectives. It utilizes a theoretical framework based on human security, the capabilities approach, and the Copenhagen school of securitization to evaluate local actor agency and how that agency is impacted by imbalanced power relations with national and ...

    • Fusjonen mellom Høgskolen i Narvik og Universitet i Tromsø - Studiet av en beslutningsprosess 

      Hilmersen, Halvor (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-11-01)
      Denne oppgaven ser på fusjonen mellom Høgskolen i Narvik og Universitetet i Tromsø. Det teoretiske grunnlaget for å belyse prosessen er med utgangspunkt i Graham T. Allison sin artikkel "Conceptual models and the Cuban missile crisis" fra 1969. Han beskriver tre ulike linser en kan se en beslutning gjennom. Oppgaven forsøker å anvende disse linsene, eller perspektivene, på fusjonsprosessen mellom ...
    • "The Future can only be Imagined" - Innovation in Farm Tourism from a Phenomenological Perspective 

      Kramvig, Britt; Brandth, Berit; Haugen, Marit S. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2010)
      This article relates to the fast growing research literature on innovation by adopting a phenomenological perspective of change and how change comes about. We visited nineteen farms in Norway in a project on farm-based tourism. Results show highly differentiated products but similar routes in transforming a farm no longer seen as economically viable, into a way of doing life and doing work that ...
    • Future directions in examining neurological adaptation to bilingual experiences 

      DeLuca, Vincent (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-16)
      In recent years, research examining the neurocognitive effects of bilingualism has undergone a shift in focus towards examining the neurocognitive effects of individual differences within specific aspects of language experience. The DeLuca et al study advances this direction in showing a specificity of neural adaptations to separate aspects of language experience. However, this approach is an early ...
    • The future of the Non-Proliferation Treaty and U.S. nuclear weapons policy 

      Claussen, Bjørn Ragnar (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2008-12)
      This thesis addresses the viability of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons – NPT for short – in light of U.S. nuclear weapons policy. Acknowledging the unique position and influence of the United States, the thesis sets out to assess whether U.S. nuclear weapons policy is compatible with a strong and effective NPT, in what ways U.S. nuclear policy underpins the role and strength ...
    • The future of UN peace operations: Principled adaptation through phases of contraction, moderation, and renewal 

      Coning, Cedric de (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-05)
      This article considers the future of UN peace operations through a complexity theory lens. In the short-term peacekeeping will have to adapt to the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and the fall-out of the Trump presidency. In the medium-term peacekeeping will go through a phase of uncertainty and turbulence due to geopolitical power shifts in the global order. In the longer-term peacekeeping ...
    • Future tense 

      Lundquist, Bjørn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-08-22)
    • Future time reference in Lule Saami, with some remarks on Finnish 

      Ylikoski, Jussi (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      The paper provides an account of future time reference (FTR) in Lule Saami. While previous accounts of the language claim that the Lule Saami <i>galggat</i> ‘shall; must; intend’ is a future auxiliary, there are two other potential candidates for what might be called a future tense as well. On the basis of actual language use, the potential mood in Lule Saami does not always refer to states of ...

    • Fylkeskommunal sammenslåing av Troms og Finnmark. Hvordan kan motstanden mot regionreformen i Finnmark forklares? 

      Mood, Daniel; Aspnes, Geir Ove Halvorsen (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-05-15)
      Regionreformen ble ikke særlig godt mottatt i Finnmark. Flertallet vil hevde at Finnmark fylkeskommune ble slått sammen med Troms fylkeskommune under tvang den 1. januar 2020, etter en noe tvilsom demokratisk prosess i Stortinget. Både prosessen og innholdet i reformen har skapt stor motstand, og fremprovosert sterke følelser i befolkningen. I denne studien har vi undersøkt motstanden i Finnmark ...
