I Kunnskapsløftet 2020 (LK20) sin overordnede del, verdier og prinsipper for grunnopplæringen under profesjonsfellesskap og skoleutvikling, beskriver for første gang en norsk læreplan hvordan profesjonsfelleskapet i skolen skal vektlegges. Basert på egne erfaringer fra min bakgrunn som lærer og lærerspesialiststudent ved UIT, har interessen og nysgjerrigheten på profesjonsutvikling i skolen og lærere ...

Background: Russia has been portrayed in media as having one of the highest death tolls due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the world. However, the precise scale of excess mortality is still unclear. We provide the first estimates of excess mortality in Russia as a whole and its regions in 2020, placing this in an international context. Methods: We used monthly death rates for Russia and 83 regions ...

Fluids have been around us for as long as we know; they have enabled us to cross the oceans, ride the winds, shorten distances, and much more. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has extended our understanding of fluids. Even to this day, the analytical solution of fundamental equations of fluid mechanics remains a million-dollar award problem (Clay Mathematics Institute). As engineers, we’ll leave ...

The word is facing a food crisis that could affect millions of people worldwide. The newest reports estimate that that 811 million people go to bed hungry every night, and that the number of those facing acute food insecurity has more than doubled since 2019- from 135 million to 276 million [1]. Conflicts are the main driver for hunger. The war in Ukraine illustrates how conflicts force people out ...

The Sigma2 Research Data Archive in Norway has been running for more than 7 years and has accumulated more than 500TiB of data distributed over more than 400 datasets. Some datasets have been downloaded more than 600 times since their deposit. During this time, we have seen the needs of our researchers change as their experience with data management has matured. To address these needs, a project ...

Natural products (NPs) have been the major source for the development of new small molecule drugs in modern medicine. Despite NPs being so prominent, marine natural products (MNPs) and derivatives thereof are hardly found in clinically approved agents. Therefore, using bioactive MNPs as structural guidance for drug development is a largely untapped source. The focus of the presented thesis is on ...

This article explores how teacher education institutions can better prepare teachers to help to create inclusive and sustainable self-determined Arctic communities. Building on the theoretical concepts of just sustainabilities, transgressive learning, the capabilities approach, and relational thinking within inclusive pedagogy, we propose that education for sustainable development (ESD) and inclusive ...

Many severe inflammation conditions are complement-dependent with the complement component C5a-C5aR1 axis as an important driver. At the RNA level, the blood transcriptome undergoes programmed expression of coding and long non-coding RNAs to combat invading microorganisms. Understanding the expression of long non-coding RNAs containing Alu elements in inflammation is important for reconstructing ...

Background: Capacity-based mental health legislation was introduced in Norway on 1 September 2017. The aim was to increase the autonomy of patients with severe mental illness and to bring mental health care in line with human rights. The aim of this study is to explore patient experiences of how far the new legislation has enabled them to be involved in decisions on their treatment after they ...
