    • The Nature of the Body and Body of Nature 

      Dahl, Espen (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2024)
      In the time of climate crisis, there is a growing awareness that philosophy needs to think through the constellation between human beings and nature anew. It has often been pointed out that our Western tradition has tended to regard humans as placed at a distance from nature, even as the exception of nature, which in turn has legitimized a view of nature as a means and resource for its own enterprises. ...
    • Ved porten til helvete. Trolldomsprosessene i Finnmark 

      Hagen, Rune Blix (Book; Bok, 2015)
      <p>Hekseprosessene i Finnmark på 1600-tallet var en av Europas verste og mest brutale menneskeforfølgelser. Nordområdene var porten til Satans rike og et eneste stort drivhus for hekseri og gudsbespottelse, lød anklagen. Over 90 mennesker ble dømt til døden som trollfolk. <p>Her er deres historier samlet for første gang. Hekseprosessene var rettssaker der særlig kvinner ble beskyldt, forfulgt og ...
    • Kartlegging av praksis i motsegnssaker 

      Kvalvik, Karoline Jacobsen; Angell, Elisabeth; Nygaard, Vigdis (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2024-12)
      Norsk lov gir kommunane stor autonomi i å forme si eiga utvikling, men stillar samtidig krav om å ivareta nasjonale og regionale interesser. Dette krev samarbeid og balanse mellom lokale behov og eit breiare samfunnsomsyn. Planlegging, både samfunnsplanlegging og arealplanlegging, er viktige verktøy for å utvikle lokalsamfunna. Motsegnsinstituttet er eit viktig verkemiddel for å sikre at nasjonale ...

      The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) was launched in 1997, and the first testing was done in 2000. The aim was to globally compare what students learn and can do.

    • Kielivalinnat ja kielenvaihtaminen ensikielisten ja ei-ensikielisten suomenpuhujien keskusteluissa – Kyselytutkimus / Language choices and language switching in conversations between L1 an L2 Finnish speakers – A survey

      Macānes doctoral dissertation sets out to examine the diversity in humananimal relationships amongst hunter-gatherers in north-eastern Europe.

    • Prokaryotic syllables and excrescent vowels in two Yuman languages 

      Krämer, Martin (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2024-11-20)
      Excrescent vowels in two Yuman languages (Cocopa and Jamul Tiipay) and the phonotactic restrictions for their occurrence show that vowels that fulfil some criteria of excrescent vowels are not always a phonetic reflex without repercussions for syllabification (Hall 2006), but rather signal the presence of an additional, albeit non-canonical, syllable. They are inserted in syllables without a ...
    • Er universitetspedagogiske kurs relevante? Erfaringer fra et kurs om diskusjon som læringsaktivitet

      In this chapter, we discuss the development of a university pedagogy course about how to facilitate discussion as a learning activity in higher education. Some critics have claimed that courses in university pedagogy have low relevance for university teachers. We discuss how this course is experienced by academic staff as relevant for their professional development. To develop the course, we have ...
    • Særmerkete funn fra Vestvatn og Eiterjord - Materielle uttrykk for etniske overskridelser? 

      Svestad, Asgeir (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2024)
      Kapitlet tar utgangspunkt i noen utvalge gjenstander som er funnet på gårdene Vestvatn i Misvær og Eiterjord i Beiarn i Nordland, og som stammer fra sein vikingtid og tidlig mellomalder. Ingen av gjenstandene har kjente paralleller, men ved å knytte dem til andre funn fra de samme gårdene, blant annet hustufter, framstår et lokalsamfunn som verkan kan defineres som samisk eller norsk, men snarere ...

Several of the boys were enrolled in the National Youth Association (NSUF) before they arrived at the reformative schools, and the chapter dwells on whether the boys were indoctrinated by the German propaganda.

    • Vapaasti tuotettu puhe tutkimuksen kohteena / Freely produced speech as the focus of research 

      Toivola, Minnaleena; Heikkola, Leena Maria; Lintunen, Pekka (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2024-05-28)
      Freely produced speech is a common source of data for speech research. This article is an introduction to this thematic volume and discusses freely produced speech from different perspectives. Freely produced speech is often seen as the opposite of controlled, often phonetic experiments in laboratory conditions. However, it is very difficult to determine which data collection methods are sufficient ...
    • Equipping Teachers with Pedagogical Competences to Handle and Harness Linguistic Diversity 

      Bergroth, Mari; Lompart, Júlia; Alisaari, Jenni; Heikkola, Leena Maria (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2024)
      Linguistic diversity is often addressed within wider abstract educational frameworks, making it difficult to concretize in teacher training. In this article we explore how linguistic diversity is connected to such frameworks as sustainable development (United Nations, 2015), inclusive education (UNESCO, 1994), and (global) citizenship education (UNESCO, 2022a). Drawing on rich data from recent ...

Using digital methods for data collection based on visual methodologies principles, underpinning the ...
    • Fonetisk gestuell analyse av tidlig ordproduksjon 

      Nordli, Ingrid C.; Nergård-Nilssen, Trude (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      Tradisjonelt sett har fonologiske og fonetiske analyser av ordproduksjon vært utført på grunnlag av lineære, segmentale vurderinger. I dette arbeidet presenteres en analyse av ett barns tidlige ordproduksjon og dets produktive variasjoner i forhold til målspråket, hvor gester, de faktiske artikulatoriske bevegelsene i taleproduksjon, danner grunnlaget for analysen. Gestuelle representasjoner gir ...
