Resilience is the ability to cope with change. The concept of resilience originating in the natural sciences has been applied in a variety of disciplines, from physics through ecology and social ecology to psychology and cultural studies. In public library research, very little resilience research has been conducted. The derived concepts of community resilience and information resilience have been ...

Climate change driven increases in temperature are enhancing land-ocean connectivity in the coastal Arctic, with a range of implications for coastal food-webs and contaminant cycling. Terrestrial inputs are a direct source of carbon and legacy contaminants to coastal areas, but as a source of freshwater, nutrients and suspended inorganic sediments, they can also affect coastal food-webs and contaminant ...

Epibenthic predators in estuarine shallow soft-bottom environments are generally considered to have broad ecological niches with a wide overlap. This allows them to cope with abundant but highly variable prey communities. The assessment of trophic relationships in shallow soft-bottom habitats is, however, challenging and often complicated by the bias and low resolution of the analytical tools available ...

Extensive studies have highlighted the importance of leadership on safety in the maritime industry. However, current research lacks empirically tested theoretical models with valid and reliable scales for describing and measuring safety leadership in ship operations. This study reports the development and validation process of the first Safety Leadership Self-Efficacy Scale (SLSES) for assessing ...

Navigating the world is a fundamental ability for any living entity. Accomplishing the same degree of freedom in technology has proven to be difficult. The brain is the only known mechanism capable of voluntary navigation, making neuroscience our best source of inspiration toward autonomy. Assuming that state representation is key, we explore the difference in how the brain and the machine represent ...

The impact of informal care immediately after pacemaker (PM) implantation has been well established; however, not much is known about its long-term effects. The present study compared personal characteristics, associated problems, workloads, time, and costs related to informal care provided to patients with PM under remote monitoring (RM) vs. conventional monitoring (CM) in the hospital, five ...

The catalytic performance of the major CO₂-assimilating enzyme, ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco), restricts photosynthetic productivity. Natural diversity in the catalytic properties of Rubisco indicates possibilities for improvement. Oceanic phytoplankton contain some of the most efficient Rubisco enzymes, and diatoms in particular are responsible for a significant ...

Langs de gamle flytteveiene, fra innlandet over kjølen og ut til kysten, finner vi de samiske árran – ildstedene. De ligger der som perler på en snor, og knytter bånd mellom øst og vest. Árran ligger på boplassene i furuskogen, i tregrensen, på høyfjellet og ved havet, steder valgt ut for hver årstid. Studier av ulike árran er kilder til forståelse av tidligere generasjoners liv og virke. Ennå ...

Given the importance of human centricity, resilience, and sustainability, the emerging concept of Industry 5.0 has pushed forward the research frontier of the technology-focused Industry 4.0 to a smart and harmonious socio-economic transition driven by both humans and technologies, where the role of the human in the technological transformation is predominantly focused on. Several studies discuss ...

Våren 2015 utviklet Universitetsbiblioteket i Tromsø seminarserien Take control of your PhD journey: from (p)reflection to publishing, et tverrfaglig, engelskspråklig tilbud for institusjonens ph.d.-studenter. Mottakelsen har vært god, og Take control er nå et tellende emne, gitt i samarbeid med High North Academy og Fakultet for humaniora, samfunnsvitenskap og lærerutdanning. To hovedkonsepter ...
