How ready is the health care system in Northeast India for surgical delivery? A mixed-methods study on surgical capacity and need
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-06-26)Background Surgical services are scarce with persisting inequalities in access across populations and regions globally.

Exploiting the “white coal” of the Pasvik River. Negotiating corporate and national interests in the border region during the German occupation of Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-30)The history of the Pasvik River, demarcating Norway’s border with Russia in the north is inextricably linked with issues of security and national interests on the one side, and exploitation of natural resources and business interests on the other. This applies not least to the war years, as German warfare in Europe increased the value of the hydropower and the strategic metals of the border region. ... -
The Phenomenology of Pain and Pleasure: Henry and Levinas
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-12)While Henry and Levinas are often juxtaposed, little attention has been given to their shared views on pain and pleasure. Both phenomenologists converge on the argument that an adequate account of pain and pleasure requires a critical confrontation with the theory of intentionality. This raises further questions. What roles do interiority and exteriority play in pain and pleasure? Should they be ... -
More Efficient Manual Review of Automatically Transcribed Tabular Data
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-04)Any machine learning method for transcribing historical text requires manual verification and correction, which is often time-consuming and expensive. Our aim is to make it more efficient. Previously, we developed a machine learning model to transcribe 2.3 million handwritten occupation codes from the Norwegian 1950 census. Here, we manually review the 90,000 codes (3%) for which our model had ... -

Fiskesøkker og hverdagens magi i steinalderens kystlandskap
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2024)Kystlandskapet og dets ressurser har gjennom alle tider vært viktige for befolkningen i Nord-Norge. Det gjelder også for fangstfolk i periodene yngre steinalder (ca. 5000–1800 fvt.) og tidlig metalltid (1800–0 fvt.) som primært livnærte seg av fisk, sel og sjøfugl. Derfor er det litt av et paradoks at de avbildninger vi finner for eksempel i bergkunsten i utstrakt grad er av landpattedyr. Hvordan ... -

(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)3. oktober 1913 satt Fridtjof Nansen på den transsibirske jernbanen ett døgn fra Vladivostok og skrev brev hjem til sin nære venn og kollega Bjørn Helland-Hansen: «Jeg har hatt en interessant reise på mange måter, og har nu hodet fullt av helt nye inntrykk av den mest forskjellige slags fra Ishavet og hit til det Himmelske Rike, som vi nu har reist gjennom, […] Hvad jeg skal gjøre med alt det nye ... -

(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-03-22)This chapter investigates two phases of Norwegian-American bilateral studies aiming to reinforce the defense of Northern Norway. The inception of this initiative can be traced back to the early 1960s, when Minister of Defense Gudmund Harlem launched an invitation policy based on the new strategic concept of “flexible response”. A major defense problem, seen from the perspective of small state Norway, ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)This article examines the efforts of Norway’s council of the realm to rescind the governing offices and trading rights of Hamburg merchants in the Faroes between the mid-1520s and mid-1530s. The limited body of prior research on the subject focuses on the commercial aims of opposing parties, treating their dispute as part of the long-standing conflict over the western Norwegian town of Bergen’s ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-01)Background: Studies across the globe generally reported increased mortality risks associated with particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2,5 μm (PM<sub>2,5</sub>) exposure with large heterogeneity in the magnitude of reported associations and the shape of concentration-response functions (CRFs). We aimed to evaluate the impact of key study design factors (including confounders, applied ... -

Ættleiing. Ein ny sjanse for dei uektefødde
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)Å ættleie tyder å gje barn fødde utanfor ekteskap – såkalla uektefødde barn – arverett ved å «leie dei» inn i ætta.2 I landskapslovene kunne den ættleidde ta arv jamsides med den ektefødde, men etter kvart som kyrkja sitt syn på ekteskap vann fram gjennom mellomalderen, endra også synet på uektefødde barn seg. Kyrkja si ekteskapslære sette spor etter seg i alt lovverk, også i Landslova, og etter ... -
The New Testament as a Model: Reading the Bible with Richard Dawkins
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)The New Testament is a cultural canon that fundamentally shaped the development of Christian Europe and the entire Christian world. The Bible can be seen as a repository of ideas and behavioral rules that have been read and interpreted by many generations of (cultural) Christians. The ideas and behavioral rules that became part of the Bible, as well as their specific combinations and intertextual ... -
Constructive forgetting and reconciliatory memory in nineteenth-century historical fiction A comparative perspective on Scandinavianism, pan-Germanism and Greater Netherlandism
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-06-30)This chapter studies how far the reconciliation of a troublesome shared past through historical fiction can be considered a general characteristic of pan-national movements in nineteenth-century Europe. A cross-case analysis shows that this praxis was most widespread and most intricately developed in Scandinavianism, while it to a lesser degree also left its mark on pan-Germanism as expressed through ... -
Theory at Sea: Some Reflections from the Gunwale
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)Fishing was the main source of livelihood in the area where I grew up. In my village, as at other places along the Arctic coast of northern Norway, it had been for centuries carried out from a boat called nordlandsbåt (literally, ‘northland boat’). Though the oar and sail powered boat varied in size, from 4.5 to 14 m, the construction was essentially the same: an open and clinker-built keeled vessel ...
