Norway’s new mathematics curriculum took effect in 2020. The word mønster (English: ”pattern”) appears 13 times in the curriculum text. This paper aims at providing insight into how the curriculum’s term ”pattern” can be translated into North Sámi in a way that supports a mathematics teaching rooted in local Sámi culture and language. Five Sámi words for patterns are analysed to highlight different ...

In this working group, we use data from our investigation of storylines available to minoritised mathematics students. We invite participants to reflect on their own research projects that investigate patterns of interaction. Together we consider the constructs of storylines and other alternatives, the challenges of identifying them, and the insights that become available due to our methodological choices.

Teachers at Guovdageaidnu lower secondary school cooperated with researchers in translating Bishop’s mathematical activities from English into North Sámi. In this paper, we conduct a investigation of how the Sámi translations of mathematical activities work, and we explore whether the suggested verbs are sufficient. The context in our study is a teaching unit in lávvu—a traditional Sámi dwelling—where ...

This chapter examines the development of fisheries regulation in areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ) from a constructivist approach. In doing so it provides important insights into how the construction of space is influenced by law making and institutional constraints, some of which reflect bias or imbalance in powers structures in international law. Many have defended law as a discreet and ...

In the framework of the CERN Large Hadron Collider Injectors Upgrade (LIU) Project, the Proton Synchrotron (PS) has been equipped with two new movable Internal Dumps (PSID), each of them capable of absorbing particle beams of an energy of up to 100 kJ. These dumps replace the old Internal Dumps, which have been operated in the accelerator complex since their installation in 1975 until their ...

The purpose of the chapter is to increase the understanding of how recruitment practices affect management practices. To explore the consequences of hiring inadequate managers, the author poses the following three research questions: 1) Why are unqualified candidates employed in management positions? 2) What are the consequences of poor managerial recruitment at a micro and macro level? 3) How can ...

How should research be assessed? This is a core question in all institutions supporting research activities. To legitimise their existence, their autonomy, and their power, higher education institutions need tools for assessment that can verify their position as society’s guardians of truth and critical thinking. In addition to regular evaluation of performance on an institutional level, usually ...

An individual studying and working at a university is never seen as simply an “educator”, “administrative staff member”, or “student”, but as a complex being with a profession, function, and various identity markers like age, gender, sexuality, ability, ethnicity, skin colour, social background, language, religious beliefs, class, and academic line, among others. Drawing from Kimberlé Crenshaw’s ...

We commonly adjust for confounding factors in analytical observational epidemiologyto reduce biases that distort the results. Stratification and matching are standard methods for reducing confounder bias. Coarsened exact matching (CEM) is a recent method using stratification to coarsen variables into categorical variables to enable exact matching of exposed and nonexposed ...

Este artículo se centra en la protagonista femenina de la historia septentrional de Cervantes. Como es bien sabido, igual que Persiles / Periandro, la co-protagonista femenina tiene una doble identidad (Alcalá Galán, 1999), aunque la “Sigismunda” del título casi desaparece en el texto bajo el nombre de Auristela que oculta su verdadera identidad. Mucho se ha escrito sobre los trabajos de amor y de ...
