This open access book investigates the gendered violence and vulnerabilities experienced by Rohingya men and women, drawing on qualitative data from refugee camps in Bangladesh. It shows that in Myanmar, men suffered torture and sexual violence, while women experienced physical, mental and sexual violence, legitimized by patriarchal norms. Sexual violence was wielded as a weapon to coerce their ...

Samene har status som urfolk, og nasjonalstatene Norge, Sverige, Finland og Russland er pålagt å tilrettelegge for at samene som urfolk kan bevare og utvikle sitt språk, sin kultur og sitt samfunnsliv. Dette innebærer blant annet at alle velferdsprofesjoner i Norge skal ha grunnleggende kunnskap om samiske forhold. Samtalen er ett av våre viktigste verktøy som mennesker, men kulturelle forskjeller ...

This article deals with issues of work inclusion, with a particular focus on the user’s perspective on work, and the work inclusion policy in Norway. An expanded concept of work is applied, which includes all human activities that contribute social value to society, and not only paid work. However, work is typically seen as activities that are valued in society. One consequence of this is that some ...

The Lyngen Magmatic Complex (Northern Norway) marks a major discontinuity in the metamorphic gradient of the North Norwegian Caledonides nappe sequence. The Lyngen Magmatic Complex preserves pre- and syn-collisional structures and parageneses of the Caledonian orogeny. This study differentiates the two deformation events and offers a tectono-metamorphic model for the region, using a combination of ...

Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) clusters are crucial for understanding processes in liquid DMSO. Despite its importance, DMSO clusters have received negligible attention due to the complexity of their potential energy surfaces (PESs). In this work, we explored the PESs of the DMSO clusters from dimer to decamer, starting with classical molecular dynamics, followed by full optimizations at the PW6B95-D3/def2-TZVP ...

Purpose: To compare the frequency and severity of self-perceived negative symptoms associated with the menstrual cycle or hormonal-contraceptive (HC) cycle between (1) HC users and non–HC users and (2) different competition levels. An additional aim was to describe the rate and type of HC use and prevalence of potential menstrual-cycle disturbances in female team handball players. <p> <p>Methods: ...

X-bundet hypofosfatemi er en sjelden genetisk sykdom som medfører fosfattap i nyrene, redusert mineralisering av tenner og skjelett, deformerte knokler og begrenset mobilitet. Dette har betydelige konsekvenser for helse og livskvalitet. Denne kliniske oversikten gjennomgår anbefalinger for diagnostisering, behandling og oppfølging av voksne med tilstanden.

Avalanche forecasting is essential for safety in mountainous regions where avalanches threaten human life and infrastructure. Traditional methods for assessing avalanche risk, such as snow pit analysis, are challenging to apply over extensive areas due to their intensive labor and resource requirements. In this study, we explore the potential of satellite-based data for avalanche forecasting by ...

We propose a novel approach to compute the MAXCUT in attributed graphs, i.e., graphs with features associated with nodes and edges. Our approach works well on any kind of graph topology and can find solutions that jointly optimize the MAXCUT along with other objectives. Based on the obtained MAXCUT partition, we implement a hierarchical graph pooling layer for Graph Neural Networks, which is sparse, ...
