The institution soon became a centre for the Pietists in Denmark. Blaagaard Institute was initiated by The Great School Commission and ...

The Bučim porphyry Cu-Au deposit is situated in the westernmost part of the Serbo-Macedonian Massif, Republic of North Macedonia. The deposit is hosted by Precambrian gneisses with tectonically imbedded rare lenses of Palaeozoic amphibolites. The mineralization is spatially associated with intrusions of andesitic to trachyandesitic magmatic bodies. The geochemical signature of the intrusions and ...

I oktober 2019 mottok Veterinærinstituttet en innsendelse med 13 grams lakseyngel fra et settefiskanlegg i Nord-Norge. Det ble rapportert om vedvarende økt dødelighet etter dyppvaksinering. Andre kliniske funn var gjellelokkforkortelse av varierende grad. Det var observert få svimere, og fisken hadde god appetitt.

The timing of annual events such as reproduction is a critical component of how free‐living organisms respond to ongoing climate change. This may be especially true in the Arctic, which is disproportionally impacted by climate warming. Here, we show that Arctic seabirds responded to climate change by moving the start of their reproduction earlier, coincident with an advancing onset of spring and ...

Translating a quality management system in Mine Action is a case study aimed at understanding how an idea about quality management (ISO9000 quality management principles) found its way into the Mine Action Department in Norwegian People’s Aid. What was the result and why. The case is done inductive by testing the Kjell Arne Røvik’s pragmatic institutionalism and his theory of the virtues of the good ...

Denne oppgaven ser på fusjonen mellom Høgskolen i Narvik og Universitetet i Tromsø. Det teoretiske grunnlaget for å belyse prosessen er med utgangspunkt i Graham T. Allison sin artikkel "Conceptual models and the Cuban missile crisis" fra 1969. Han beskriver tre ulike linser en kan se en beslutning gjennom. Oppgaven forsøker å anvende disse linsene, eller perspektivene, på fusjonsprosessen mellom ...

We analyse and self-reflect on an action research project conducted in a financial organisation twelve years ago. The research question was: What are the challenges of initiating an action research project in a financial organisation with top-down control that uses the Balanced Scorecard? The data came from action learning seminars with line managers, observations, interviews, and meetings in a ...

<p>Spansk har blitt et populært valgfag i norsk skole. Eksamensresultater tyder likevel på at flere elever ikke oppnår kompetansemålene for opplæringen, samtidig som undersøkelser har vist at spanskelevene er de som er minst motiverte i arbeidet med målspråket. Grunnene til dette kan være flere. Min hypotese er at kjennskap til spansk ordstilling og informasjonsstruktur kan fungere som en læringsstrategi ...

Temporal correlations among demographic parameters can strongly influence population dynamics. Our empirical knowledge, however, is very limited regarding the direction and the magnitude of these correlations and how they vary among demographic parameters and species’ life histories. Here, we use long-term demographic data from 15 bird and mammal species with contrasting pace of life to quantify ...

People with intellectual disabilities have more sedentary lifestyles than the general population. Regular physical activity is of both medical and social importance, reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and promoting functioning in everyday life. Exergames have been envisioned for promoting physical activity; however, most of them are not user-friendly for individuals with intellectual ...
