Vast databases on historical ship traffic are currently freely available in the form of AIS (Automatic Identification System) messages dating back to as early as 2002. This provides a rich source for training deep learning models for predicting various behaviors of vessels, which in this context is motivated by resource management of fisheries. In this paper, we explore the possibility for combining ...

This dissertation examines how traditional Sámi knowledge can be integrated into mathematics education to promote cultural symmetry. The study is based on four articles that analyse teaching practices related to Sámi culture, with a particular focus on the use of the lávvu as an educational resource. The research design is grounded in Indigenous methodology, and qualitative methods such as observation ...

In the time of climate crisis, there is a growing awareness that philosophy needs to think through the constellation between human beings and nature anew. It has often been pointed out that our Western tradition has tended to regard humans as placed at a distance from nature, even as the exception of nature, which in turn has legitimized a view of nature as a means and resource for its own enterprises. ...

To enhance Situation Awareness (SA) in the context of autonomous ship navigation within a complex navigation environment, the Advanced Ship Predictor (ASP) is proposed as a solution framework aimed at predicting ship maneuvers. This can be used to identify potential ship close encounters and collision scenarios in advance, where appropriate collision avoidance actions should be taken. The implementation ...

Antarctic sea ice is one of the largest biomes on Earth providing a critical habitat for ice algae. Measurements of primary production in Antarctic sea ice remain scarce and an observation‐based estimate of primary production has not been revisited in over 30 years. We fill this knowledge gap by presenting a newly compiled circumpolar data set of particulate and dissolved organic carbon from 362 ...

Introduction - The increased demands put on the health and care services coupled with technological developments have formed an impetus for the implementation of assistive (or, welfare) technologies in the Norwegian health and care sector. <p> <p>Methods - We discuss the organization and functionality of a unit that monitors and coordinates the use of these technologies, named a ‘Response Centre’ ...

I artikkelen foretas en rettslig analyse av foreldretermene i barnelova. Herunder diskuteres fordeler og ulemper med bruken av mor, far og medmor, og konsekvensene av denne termbruken. I forslag til ny barnelov i NOU 2020: 14 «Ny barnelov til barnets beste», punkt 9.1.4, ble det lagt til grunn at Barnelovutvalgets primære ønske var en kjønnsnøytral lov, men at de av kapasitetshensyn ikke fikk ...

This article reflects on the Exploring Arctic Soundscapes project, a transdisciplinary venture of sevennatural scientists, social scientists, and artists that sought to explore how a focus on sound could spurdevelopment of a new research sensibility for generating insights beyond the comfort zone of anyone discipline. Viewing sound less as an object of study (“what sounds define a place?”) or ...

This chapter discusses social media impact on local democracy and aims to provide knowledge about how social media impact politicians and political communication in local democracies. It discusses the special characteristics of social media, provides a brief overview of deliberative democracy values, and identifies what makes social media special in local politics. The empirical section examines ...
