Oppgaven skildrer utviklingen av sinnssykevesenet i Finnmark i perioden 1920-1961. Utgangspunktet for oppgaven er Stortingets behandling av et nytt statsasyl i Troms og Finnmark. Da statsasylet ble utsatt i 1925, først og fremst av økonomiske årsaker, bestemte Finnmark fylke seg for å etablere et eget pleiehjem ved Fuglenes i Hammerfest. I pleiehjemmet, som ble kalt HPH, 12 år lange drift, opparbeidet ...

Vertical migration is a geographically and taxonomically widespread behaviour among zooplankton that spans across diel and seasonal timescales. The shorter-term diel vertical migration (DVM) has a periodicity of up to 1 day and was first described by the French naturalist Georges Cuvier in 1817. In 1888, the German marine biologist Carl Chun described the longer-term seasonal vertical migration ...

Global warming is most pronounced in the Arctic as evident from the massive sea ice loss during the past few decades. The Mid-Pliocene Warm Period (MPWP), 3.264 – 3.025 million years ago with similar CO2 levels, is the nearest analogue for understanding the impacts of future global warming. High-resolution studies of relative nutrient utilization and productivity from the Atlantic-Arctic Gateway ...

The polar cod (Boreogadus saida) and the Antarctic silverfish (Pleuragramma antarctica) are pelagic fish endemic to the Arctic and Antarctica sea, respectively. Both species are abundant and play a central role as midtrophic wasp-waist species in polar ecosystems. Due to their biological and ecological characteristics (small size, complex life histories, relatively short generation cycles, movement ...

We study whether business incubator management collaboration with R&D milieus affects incubated entrepreneurs to also collaborate with R&D milieus in different regional contexts. Empirically, we analyse 281 Norwegian entrepreneurs in 32 different business incubators. Incubator collaboration with R&D milieus increases entrepreneur collaboration with R&D milieus in sparsely but not densely populated ...

<ol> <li>The fasting endurance hypothesis (FEH) predicts strong selection for large body size in mammals living in environments where food supply is interrupted over prolonged periods of time. The Arctic is a highly seasonal and food restricted environment, but contrary to predictions from the FEH, empirical evidence shows that Arctic mammals are often smaller than their temperate conspecifics. ...

Denne artikkelen analyserer et nordnorsk utvalg på 511 personer sin tillit til fylkeskommunen som vannregionmyndighet og kommunen som vannforvalter. Vi finner at til tross for utvalgets lave kjennskap til vannforvaltningen, har de høy grad av tillit til både vannregionmyndighetene og vannforvalterne. Vår antakelse er at dette skyldes at nordmenn tradisjonelt sett har høy tillit til politiske ...

Temaet for avhandlingen er myndighetenes adgang til å gjøre inngrep i akvakulturtillatelser. Nærmere beskrevet omhandler avhandlingen nedjustering av produksjonskapasitet. Hovedproblemstillingene er om slik nedjustering i noen tilfeller kan krenke konstitusjonelle rammer i Grunnloven § 97 og, eventuelt eller, være i strid med Den europeiske menneskerettskonvensjon Protokoll 1 artikkel 1 (EMK P1-1).

Recent studies have concluded that groundwater driven methane escape through open system pingos is an important greenhouse gas source in the vulnerable high Arctic. In wetlands and marine sediments, large quantities of methane are consumed by methane oxidizing bacteria (MOB) and ANaerobic MEthanotrophic (ANME) archaea, preventing its release to the atmosphere. The methanotrophic capacity of open ...

Indigenous communities across Canada are facing a crisis in housing. In response, new and innovative designs, policies, and programs are being developed in attempt to shift away from harmful colonial-imposed models to ones that advance autonomy, healthy living, and cultural revitalization. This important shift has sparked debate and speculation about what a reclaiming or “decolonization” of planning ...
