“No Delay?” – Online teaching using low latency technology. Playing music together using low latency technology has been possible for some years now, provided fast and robust digital networks. The accessibility of low latency networks has been limited, and the available software has been complicated to install and use. At the music conservatory in Tromsø, associate professor Geir Davidsen has ...

Specht polynomials classically realize the irreducible representations of the symmetric group. The ideals defined by these polynomials provide a strong connection with the combinatorics of Young tableaux and have been intensively studied by several authors. We initiate similar investigations for the ideals defined by the Specht polynomials associated to the hyperoctahedral group <i>B_n</i>. ...

This dissertation addresses psychological factors that contribute to the underrepresentation of men in communal occupations (i.e., occupations associated with communal traits, e.g., nurse), based on the theoretical perspectives from the developmental theory of occupational aspirations (Gottfredson, 1981) and the model of achievement-related choices (Eccles et al., 1983). The underrepresentation of ...

Marine macroalgae form underwater "blue forests" with several important functions. Hyperspectral imaging from unmanned aerial vehicles provides a rich set of spectral and spatial data that can be used to map the distribution of such macroalgae. Results from a study using 81 annotated hyper-spectral images from the Norwegian coast are presented. A U-net convolutional network was used for classification, ...

The notion of a connection between autism and music is as old as the first reported cases of autism, and music has been used as a therapeutic tool for many decades. Music therapy holds promise as an intervention for individuals with autism, harnessing their strengths in music processing to enhance communication and expression. While previous randomized controlled trials have demonstrated positive ...

Resilience expresses the capacity of a social-ecological system to adapt to, absorb, or withstand perturbations and other stressors so that the system remains. Reindeer nomadic husbandry is a coupled social-ecological system that sustains resilience by interacting with the animals and environment: either the herders adjust their actions to animal behavior or change this behavior in ways that suit ...

Bør det utarbeides en egen samisk læreplan i matematikk, basert på samisk kultur, språk og tenkemåte? Ja, mener vi. Nordsamisk versjon av matematikkplanen, LK20S, er en direkte oversettelse av den nasjonale læreplanteksten. Det skaper utfordringer. Vi viser i dette kapittelet flere mulige nordsamiske oversettelser av substantiv og verb i setningen som redegjør for kunnskapsområdet ‘algebra’ i LK20S. ...

Below we consider the evolutes of plane real-algebraic curves and discuss some of their complex and real-algebraic properties. In particular, for a given degree d ≥ 2, we provide lower bounds for the following four numerical invariants: 1) the maximal number of times a real line can intersect the evolute of a real-algebraic curve of degree d; 2) the maximal number of real cusps which can occur on ...

Introduction: The Scotia Sea and Antarctic Peninsula are warming rapidly and changes in species distribution are expected. In predicting habitat shifts and considering appropriate management strategies for marine predators, a community-level understanding of how these predators are distributed is desirable. Acquiring such data, particularly in remote areas, is often problematic given the cost ...
