We investigate German–Russian bilingual children's sensitivity to formal and semantic cues when assigning gender to nouns in German. Across languages, young children have been shown to primarily rely on phonological cues, whereas sensitivity to semantic and syntactic cues increases with age. With its semi-transparent gender assignment system, where both formal and semantic cues are psycho linguistically ...

The Paleoproterozoic Greenstone Belts of Fennoscandia are metamorphosed and deformed volcanic and sedimentary basins with a high metallic ore potential. One of those, the Alta-Kvænangen Tectonic Window (AKTW), is exposed as a window below the Caledonides of Northern Norway. The Kåfjord area located within the AKTW hosts numerous known Cu occurrences. The Cu mineralisation in Kåfjord occurs mostly ...

Hovedoppgaven var en del av et større forskningsprosjekt i regi av professorene Ingunn Skre og Rannveig Grøm Sæle. Tidligere studier har forsøkt å kartlegge faktorer som henger sammen med å ha fordommer mot temaet psykisk helse hos ungdom. Kjønn og alder har vist seg å være av betydning, da å være yngre og å være gutt henger sammen mer fordommer mot temaet. Det finnes imidlertid ikke nok studier til ...

This thesis investigates cross-linguistic influence (CLI) in L3 acquisition among North Sámi-Norwegian bilinguals in comparison to Norwegian monolingual controls. The linguistic phenomena of investigation include subject-verb agreement and verb placement. The main overarching inquiry of this study is to determine if North Sámi-Norwegian bilinguals acquire English (as an L3) in the same fashion as ...

This master thesis presents an original investigation on Error Analysis on the L2 / L3 teaching of Spanish, specifically about the use of conditional structures involving subjunctive by a group of secondary school native Norwegian students. The research starts from a corpus consisting on a number of directed grammar activities done by the student group during one semester, and proposes a classification ...

<p>Introduction. This is an article on whether Crimea’s declaration of independence is illegal or not. Is it contradictory to international law? My working hypothesis is that “people’s” right to selfdetermination and selfgovernment are part of its “residual rights”. Referendum confirms the authenticity of the popular will; declaring independence. The main topic is whether remedial secession is ...

<p>Samferdselsprosjekter som oppleves som kritisk viktige lokalt og regionalt, vurderes ofte som samfunnsøkonomisk ulønnsomme. Med mange prosjekter som konkurrerer om begrensede offentlige midler, er det da svært viktig at beslutninger om hvilke prosjekter som skal prioriteres er velbegrunnede og gjennomtenkte. <p>Den samfunnsøkonomiske analysen skal – ved å synliggjøre tiltakenes samfunnsøkonomiske ...

Time series from chaotic and stochastic systems share properties which can make it hard to distinguish them from each other. The Complexity-Entropy analysis provides appropriate measures of entropy and complexity and representing the calculated values in the representation space, the Complexity-Entropy plane, have been shown to be able to distinguish between time series of stochastic and chaotic ...

For quantitative PET imaging, attenuation correction (AC) is mandatory. Currently, all main vendors of hybrid PET/MRI systems apply a segmentation-based approach to compute a Dixon AC-map based on fat and water images derived from in- and opposed-phase MR-images. Changes in magnetic susceptibility pose major problems for MRI, which may lead to artifacts resulting in tissue misclassification in the ...

The Precambrian Alta-Kvænangen Tectonic Window (AKTW) located in the northern part of Norway, hosts different types of copper mineralization. Some of Cu occurrences have been previously mined, but their geochemical and stable isotope characteristics have not been a subject of detailed investigations, and therefore the relevant ore-forming processes are still poorly understood. This study, brings new ...
