Morten Levin’s work on Action Research (AR) clearly stated that the three pillars partici‑ pation, action and research was equally important. During his long practice as an AR pio‑ neer, he campaigned for the legitimacy of AR within academia. In this paper we investigate how AR is perceived as sound research within a large and distributed organization. We present a retrospective case study based ...

The aim of this study was to investigate the role of language status, language proficiency, cognitive control and Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) in bilingual Turkish-Dutch children’s language mixing in single-language settings. We investigated these factors over time following 31 children (20 with typical development, 11 with DLD), from the age of 5 or 6 years until they were 7 or 8 years ...

Purpose: The Youth Olympic Games (YOG), the largest international sport event for young athletes, allows athletes to take part in an Olympic educational program. These programs have never been examined through the lens of Experiential Learning Theory (ELT). The purpose of this study is to provide in-depth analysis and evaluation of all YOG educational programs design by date (2010 – 2020) through ...

Over the past ten years, the concept of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) has gained visibility, both in policy context as well as within academic discussions concerning science and technology. Research funding bodies in Norway do now include RRI as a requirement in calls for funding, especially in emerging technologies projects. However, the concept of RRI has been criticized for its unclarity ...

High North Academy (HNA) ved UiT tilbyr flerdisiplinære ph.d.-emner med fokus på generiske ferdigheter. De har et stort innslag av praktiske oppgaver og oppmuntrer gjennom dette deltakerne til å bruke seg selv og sine ph.d.-prosjekter, noe som bidrar til å gjøre innholdet umiddelbart nyttig og relevant. Ett av studieemnene er Scientific writing (FSK-8002), og de siste årene har flere fagansvarlige ...

Much of the Antarctic coast is covered by seasonal landfast sea ice (fast ice), which serves as an important habitat for ice algae. Fast-ice algae provide a key early season food source for pelagic and benthic food webs, and contribute to biogeochemical cycling in Antarctic coastal ecosystems. Summertime fast ice is undergoing a decline, leading to more seasonal fast ice with unknown impacts on ...

Coastal aquaculture and local fisheries interact in shared marine environments, influencing each other synergistically and/or antagonistically. Salmon farming, notably with open-net sea cages along the Norwegian coast, attracts wild fish due to increased food availability from uneaten feed, but it also exposes wild fish to farm emissions like waste and toxic chemicals (de-lice treatments, antifouling ...

There are a series of well-established risk factors of coronary heart disease (CHD): hypertension, high total cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, older age and male sex [1]. Some studies have paid attention to interactions between them, but have mainly looked at multiplicative interactions with age and/or sex. For example, relative risks associated with many risk factors are larger at younger compared ...

In this article we investigate transfer in the ab-initio acquisition of grammatical gender in two groups of multilingual learners. The first group knows two gender languages (German and French), which can potentially act as transfer sources; the second group knows three (German, French and Italian). Both groups had to assign gender to nouns in Franco-Provençal, a Romance language which is new ...
