      Angell, Elisabeth; Eikeland, Sveinung; Selle, Per (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-21)
      I løpet av de siste 30 årene har framveksten av Sametinget og andre samiske institusjoner løftet samepolitikken inn i en internasjonal urfolksdiskurs, hvor samiske rettigheter er styrket gjennom norsk støtte til internasjonale konvensjoner. De tydeligste avtrykkene av samepolitikken finnes i Finnmark, der samer utgjør en betydelig andel av befolkningen og Sametinget er lokalisert. Temaet for denne ...

    • A novel algorithm to detect non-wear time from raw accelerometer data using deep convolutional neural networks 

      Syed, Shaheen; Morseth, Bente; Hopstock, Laila Arnesdatter; Horsch, Alexander (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-23)
      To date, non-wear detection algorithms commonly employ a 30, 60, or even 90 mins interval or window in which acceleration values need to be below a threshold value. A major drawback of such intervals is that they need to be long enough to prevent false positives (type I errors), while short enough to prevent false negatives (type II errors), which limits detecting both short and longer episodes of ...

    • Indigenous religion(s) – in the making and on the move: Sámi activism from Alta to Standing Rock 

      Kraft, Siv Ellen (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2020-06-26)
      This chapter explores the shift to ‘indigeneity’ and ‘indigenous religion’ among the Sámi, through a focus on Sámi activism at Alta (1979–1981, concerning a proposed power plant) and Standing Rock (2016–2017, concerning a proposed pipeline). It is based on a combination of multi-sited fieldwork, interviews and textual sources, and proceeds along the lines of ‘light comparison’, inspired partly by ...

    • Prediction of goldsinny wrasse (Ctenolabrus rupestris) minimum size required to avoid escape through salmon (Salmo salar) farm nets 

      Sistiaga, Manu; Herrmann, Bent; Jørgensen, Terje (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-07)
      The salmon (Salmo salar) aquaculture industry has used various practices to treat salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) infections, including mechanical, thermal, and chemical treatments. However, due to the environmental and fish welfare issues, and limitations associated with these practices, the use of cleaner fish has become a popular complementary delousing method. The goldsinny wrasse ...

    • Effects of cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic-interpersonal treatments for eating disorders: a meta-analytic inquiry into the role of patient characteristics and change in eating disorder-specific and general psychopathology in remission 

      Moberg, Leif Tore; Solvang, Birgitte; Sæle, Rannveig Grøm; Myrvang, Anna Dahl (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-26)
      Background - Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic-interpersonal therapies (PIT) are two widely used and conceptually different outpatient treatments for eating disorders (EDs). To better understand how these treatments works, for whom, and under what circumstances, there is a need for knowledge about how outcomes are affected by diagnosis, comorbidity, changes in psychopathology, and ...

    • Storage and export of microbial biomass across the western Greenland Ice Sheet 

      Irvine-Fynn, Tristram D.L.; Edwards, A.; Stevens, I.T.; Mitchell, A.C.; Bunting, P.; Box, J.E.; Cameron, K.A.; Cook, J.M.; Naegeli, K.; Rassner, S.M.E.; Ryan, J.C.; Stibal, M.; Williamson, C.J.; Hubbard, Alun Lloyd (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-25)
      The Greenland Ice Sheet harbours a wealth of microbial life, yet the total biomass stored or exported from its surface to downstream environments is unconstrained. Here, we quantify microbial abundance and cellular biomass flux within the near-surface weathering crust photic zone of the western sector of the ice sheet. Using groundwater techniques, we demonstrate that interstitial water flow is slow ...

    • Sea ice thickness from air-coupled flexural waves 

      Romeyn, Rowan; Hanssen, Alfred; Ruud, Bent Ole; Johansen, Tor Arne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-28)
      Air-coupled flexural waves (ACFWs) appear as wave trains of constant frequency that arrive in advance of the direct air wave from an impulsive source travelling over a floating ice sheet. The frequency of these waves varies with the flexural stiffness of the ice sheet, which is controlled by a combination of thickness and elastic properties. We develop a theoretical framework to understand these ...

    • Norske domstoler og samisk rett 

      Ravna, Øyvind (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-21)
      "[...] I likhet med Sametinget har også Domstolkommisjonen satt fokus på samenes situasjon i domstolene (i NOU 2019: 17 og NOU 2020: 11) og etterlyst innsikt og kunnskap hos dommere og den enkelte domstol på samerettens område. Det gjenstår å se hvordan domstolene – og særlig vår høyeste rett – vil besvare bestillingene fra Sametinget og Domstolkommisjonen."
