This article proceeds investigating the archive of the first Norwegian Professor of Slavic languages Olaf Broch and is particularly focused on several letters sent by the Ukrainian linguist Ivan Zilyns’kyi. It is known that the Norwegian professor Broch and Ukrainian student Zilyns’kyi met in Vienna in 1905, but it remained suprisingly unknown they corresponded for 43 years until now. These letters ...

In this study we explore how different levels of emotional intensity (Arousal) and pleasantness (Valence) are reflected in Electroencephalographic (EEG) signals. We performed the experiments on EEG data of 32 subjects from the DEAP public dataset, where the subjects were stimulated using 60-second videos to elicitate different levels of Arousal/Valence and then self-reported the rating from 1-9 ...

Climate models predict extended periods with sea-ice free Arctic waters during the next decade, which will allow more shipping activity and easier access to petroleum resources. Increased industrial activities raise concerns about the biological effects of accidental petroleum release on key species of the Arctic marine ecosystem, such as the polar cod (<i>Boreogadus saida</i>). This study examines ...

Organic agriculture is acquiring increased attention in Armenia with numerous projects and initiatives prioritizing production of ecologically clean agricultural products. Application of organic fertilizers is one of the key factors supporting sustainable organic production of fruits and vegetables, which requires knowledge of fertilization regimes adapted to crop types for achieving optimum ...

<p><i>Background:</i> One lesson from the current COVID-19 pandemic is the need to optimize health care provision outside of traditional settings, and potentially over longer periods of time. An important strategy is remote patient monitoring (RPM), allowing patients to remain at home, while they transmit health data and receive follow-up services. <p><i>Materials and Methods:</i> We conducted an ...

Identification of the seed varieties is essential in the quality control and high yield crop growth. The existing methods of varietal identification rely primarily on visual examination and DNA fingerprinting. Although the pattern of DNA fingerprinting allows precise classification of seed varieties but fraught with challenges such as low rate of polymorphism amongst closely related species, destructive ...

This paper conducts a systemic comparative study on univariate and multivariate wind power forecasting for five wind farms inside the Arctic area. The development of wind power in the Arctic can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions in this environmentally fragile region. In practice, wind power forecasting is essential to maintain the grid balance and optimize electricity generation. This study first ...

In this paper we give an algorithm to round the floating point output of a semidefinite programming solver to a solution over the rationals or a quadratic extension of the rationals. This algorithm does not require the solution to be strictly feasible and works for large problems. We apply this to get sharp bounds for packing problems, and we use these sharp bounds to prove that certain optimal ...

Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) findes kun i meget begrænset omfang på andre sprog end engelsk. Der arbejdes sjældent med overgange mellem uddannelsesniveauer, og CLIL forbindes næsten aldrig med en flersprogethedsdidaktik. Sådan kan man lidt groft sammenfatte resultaterne fra en spørgeskemaundersøgelse, som blev besvaret i foråret 2021 af eksperter fra 29 lande.

About 10% of all pupils in grades 1–10 who learn Sámi in Norwegian schools live in the city of Tromsø in Northern Norway. This group totalled 232 pupils in the school year 2020/2021, and the pupils went to over 20 different schools. All but one were pupils of North Sámi, and a handful also received instruction in South Sámi. In Umeå in Sweden, 42 pupils attended mother tongue classes in Sámi in the ...
