Isfjorden, a broad Arctic fjord in western Spitsbergen, has shown significant changes in hydrography and inflow of Atlantic Water (AW) the last decades that only recently have been observed in the Arctic Ocean north of Svalbard. Variability and trends in this fjord’s climate and circulation are therefore analysed from observational and reanalysis data during 1987 to 2017. Isfjorden experienced a ...

Finite adjunct clauses are often assumed to be among the strongest islands for filler–gap dependency creation cross-linguistically, but Kush, Lohndal & Sprouse (2019) found experimental evidence suggesting that finite conditional <i>om</i>-adjunct clauses are not islands for topicalization in Norwegian. To investigate the generality of these findings, we ran three acceptability judgment experiments ...

The main arteries that supply blood to the brain originate from the Circle of Willis (CoW). The CoW exhibits considerable anatomical variations which may have clinical importance, but the variability is insufficiently characterised in the general population. We assessed the anatomical variability of CoW variants in a community-dwelling sample (N = 1,864, 874 men, mean age = 65.4, range 40–87 years), ...

The distal deposition of tephra from explosive volcanism has the potential to geochronologically constrain sedimentary archives and landforms. With this technique, we constrain a Late Glacial glacier re-advance on Svalbard and suggest that glacioisostatic emergence rates during the Younger Dryas chronozone were at least three times greater than previous estimates. The identification of cryptotephra ...

Hvordan kan en tettere sammenkobling mellom samiske kreative næringer og reiseliv bidra til nytenking om bærekraft, innovasjon og formidling av samisk kunnskap om natur og kultur – og slik bidra til utvikling av mat- og kulturopplevelser som gagner mangfoldet i Sápmi.

Changes in ocean circulation are considered a major driver of centennial-to-millennial scale climate variability during the last deglaciation. Using four sediment records from the Nordic Seas, we studied radiocarbon ventilation ages in subsurface and bottom waters to reconstruct past variations in watermass overturning. Planktic foraminiferal ages show significant spatial variability over most of ...

Research has shown that in addition to top-down and bottom-up processes, biases produced by the repetition priming effect and reward play a major role in visual selection. Action control research argues that bidirectional effect-response associations underlie the repetition priming effect and that such associations are also achievable through verbal instructions. This study evaluated whether verbally ...

This article centres around a volume of sermons and its three documented owners. The book first belonged to a vicar, then to a nobleman, and finally to a farmhand. The three owners all left marks on the book, and the farmhand wrote a remarkable passage on its last page, detailing his reading of the book. The three owners’ possession of the book spans over a century, 1766–1876, a period that saw ...

Video recordings are an important resource for capturing in-dept social interaction and collaboration in workplace studies. Video-recorded observations can be used to analyse knowledge expansion in collaborative work when practitioners use videoconferences (VCs). Interaction analysis of a problem-solving activity is carried out, pointing to sequences in the work where knowledge expand, and problems ...
