Langs de gamle flytteveiene, fra innlandet over kjølen og ut til kysten, finner vi de samiske árran – ildstedene. De ligger der som perler på en snor, og knytter bånd mellom øst og vest. Árran ligger på boplassene i furuskogen, i tregrensen, på høyfjellet og ved havet, steder valgt ut for hver årstid. Studier av ulike árran er kilder til forståelse av tidligere generasjoners liv og virke. Ennå ...

Caring science has been described as abstract, difficult to apply, or unscientific common sense. An alternative view is that caring science knowledge does not pose a greater challenge because it is abstract, but because it challenges caregivers’ existence. No matter how nursing faculty perceive these challenges, it is crucial to create a context where students are supported in the integration of ...

Based on analyses of the film, reviews and perspectives on colonialism and cinema, it is argued that Sami Blood contributes to ...

This paper assesses the effects of investors’ lottery-seeking behavior on expected returns in the Norwegian equity market, a relatively small equity market dominated by the energy industry. We use the MAX factor defined as maximum daily return over the previous month as the proxy of investors’ preference for lottery-like stocks. Despite evidence from recent literature that MAX has a negative ...

Objectives - Umbilical artery (UA) Doppler indices are surrogate measures of placental function, most commonly used to assess fetal wellbeing in pregnancies with fetal growth restriction. Fetuses with trisomy 21 (t21) are reported to have elevated UA Doppler indices, but reference percentiles are currently lacking for this population. We hypothesized that gestational age-specific values of UA Doppler ...

This paper gives an analysis of an attractor neural network model dubbed the Phonological Latching Network. The model appears to reproduce certain quintessentially phonological phenomena, despite not having any of these phonological behaviours programmed or taught to the model. Rather, assimilation, segmental-OCP, and sonority sequencing appear to emerge spontaneously from the combination of a ...
