An important property associated with turbulence in plasmas and fluids is anomalous transport. Plasma, being a good conductor, can in addition be affected by turbulence causing an anomalous resistivity that can significantly exceed its classical counterpart. While turbulent transport may be adequately described in configuration space, some aspects of the anomalous resistivity are best accounted for ...

The Greenland Ice Sheet is currently not accounted for in Arctic mercury budgets, despite large and increasing annual runoff to the ocean and the socio-economic concerns of high mercury levels in Arctic organisms. Here we present concentrations of mercury in meltwaters from three glacial catchments on the southwestern margin of the Greenland Ice Sheet and evaluate the export of mercury to downstream ...

Several shrimp trawl fisheries use a Nordmöre sorting grid to avoid bycatch of fish. However, small fish can pass through the grid. Therefore, the retention of juvenile fish often remains an issue during shrimp trawling. We investigated the vertical distribution of deepwater shrimp (<i>Pandalus borealis</i>) and dominant bycatch species at the point where the Nordmöre grid section is installed. This ...

<p>Introduction: HIV/AIDS continues to be amongst the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in Sub-Saharan Africa. There is no approved cure for HIV, but the disease can be managed using Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART). If drug adherence of about 95% is achieved, odds for a better clinical outcome increase. The level of education as a marker for many socio- economic status indicators has an impact ...

There are many cases worldwide where two or more States’ maritime claims over ocean space and marine resources overlap, leading to disputed maritime areas. Many of these disputed maritime areas include rare or fragile marine ecosystems and constitute the habitat of vulnerable species. General environmental provisions under international law are binding upon States in disputed maritime areas. Yet, ...

Sammendrag Oppgaven handler om barnehagelærere sitt arbeid med flerspråklige barn med språkforsinkelser. Formålet med denne studien har vært å belyse hvilke erfaringer fire barnehagelærere har med sitt arbeid med flerspråklige barn. Det er når barnet strever med å tilegne seg et nytt språk, i dette tilfellet norsk, og det er usikkerhet knyttet til om årsaken bunner i en språkvanske eller om barnet ...

Arctic coastal ecosystems are rapidly changing due to climate warming. This makes modeling their productivity crucially important to better understand future changes. System primary production in these systems is highest during the pronounced spring bloom, typically dominated by diatoms. Eventually the spring blooms terminate due to silicon or nitrogen limitation. Bacteria can play an important role ...

Novel genome editing techniques allow for efficient and targeted improvement of aquaculture stock and might be a solution to solve challenges related to disease and environmental impacts. This review has retrieved the latest research on genome editing on aquacultured finfish species, exploring the technological progress and the scope. Genome editing has most often been used on Nile tilapia (<i>Oreochromis ...

Hvilke muligheter og utfordringer kan oppstå med praksis som læringsform i utdanninger som ikke er spesifikt profesjonsrettet? I profesjonsutdanninger deler praksisvirksomhetene og utdanningsinstitusjonene ofte en felles forståelse av hva som skal oppnås i praksis, mens i ikke-profesjonsrettede studieløp er det andre utfordringer. I et nylig oppstartet prosjekt som heter «Samarbeid om praksis i ...

Increasingly exporters need to take into consideration sustainable exports. This paper is an academic exercise that seeks to develop an analytical framework to demonstrate sustainable exports as a market embedded inter-organisational function. Influences of this investigation include institutional economics and sociology. The developed framework guides investigation of three published cases of ...
