Utgangspunktet for masteravhandlingen min har vært problemstillingen "Hva sier læreplanene for KRLE-faget at elevene skal kunne om samisk kultur og religion etter 10. trinn, og i hvilken grad innfris disse målene i lærebøkene Store spørsmål 8-10 og Horisonter 8, 9 og 10." Hovedfokuset mitt ligger på ungdomsskolen, hvor jeg har gjort en kvalitativ analyse av både den samiske og den allmenne læreplanen ...

Bakgrunn: Skolemåltider er på den politiske dagsorden og Regjeringen foreslår gradvis innføring av et daglig måltid i skolen. Ulike skolemåltider er prøvd ut i Norge, men lite er knyttet til forskning. De fleste videregående skoler har kantiner og kantinepersonell kan sitte på verdifull erfaring og opplevelser som vil være nyttig ved innføring av skolemåltider nasjonalt. Hensikt: Undersøke ...

Background/Objectives: Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with increased risk of developing several diseases, but much is unknown about the molecular effects involved. Gene expression technology is increasingly being used to elucidate molecular mechanisms related to nutritional factors, and in this study of free-living, middle-aged Norwegian women, we aimed at identifying gene expression ...

Fourteen legacy organochlorine (OC) contaminants and 12 perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) were measured in eggs of tawny owls (Strix alueco) in central Norway (1986–2019). We expected OCs to have reached stable equilibrium levels due to bans, and that recent phase-out of some PFASs would have slowed the increase of these compounds. ∑OC comprised on average approximately 92% of the measured compounds, ...

Numerical simulations of reduced fluid models describing magnetized plasmas have previously been used to study the boundary of fusion plasmas extensively. A common approximation applied to these models is the so-called Boussinesq approximation. One of the requirements for the Boussinesq approximation to be applicable is that the background particle density is significantly higher than the fluctuations ...

Biological material obtained from a crime scene is used to generate DNA-profile by typing short tandem repeat (STR) markers. However, if the STR-profile do not match the DNA profile of suspects or from a crime DNA database, the investigation can go towards typing markers that can estimate externally visible characteristics (EVCs). EVCs can function as a “biological witness” and thus aid a police ...

Assessing the role of weather in the dynamics of wildlife populations is a pressing task in the face of rapid environmental change. Rodents and ruminants are abundant herbivore species in most Arctic ecosystems, many of which are experiencing particularly rapid climate change. Their different life-history characteristics, with the exception of their trophic position, suggest that they should show ...

This qualitative study explores how business leaders narrate their personal ways of recognizing, reasoning, and resolving moral conficts and what these stories reveal about their moral identity processes within organizational contexts. Based on interviews with 25 business leaders, 4 moral identity statuses were identifed: achievement (commitment to a personally meaningful moral value framework ...

Vaisenhuset and Blaagaard teacher education institute: The connection between two learning institutions in Copenhagen about 1795 Vaisenhuset (The Orphan House) in Copenhagen was established after the Nordic War (1700–1720) to take care of and educate orphans. The institution soon became a centre for the Pietists in Denmark. Blaagaard Institute was initiated by The Great School Commission and ...
