Today it often happens that the protagonist in crime fiction is a journalist—for instance, in the globally spread sub-genre of Nordic noir. This article examines what readers can learn about journalism by comparing crime fiction (a widely popular genre fostering society critique) from Russia, Sweden, and USA. These countries with significantly different press traditions have in the post-1991 era ...

Aims and objectives We will provide insights in the theoretical background and key concepts of a Narrative Care approach, such as narrative cultures, narrative curiosity, narrative co‐composition and narrative reflective practice. Background Care understood as narrative practice underscores the importance of experiences and how these shape identities. Important to the quality of care in institutional ...

Historic settlement processes of, respectively, the Northern Sámi and Western Tibetan pastoralists have so far not been subjected to any comparative social science analyses. This study contributes to such a conceptual platform, drawing on the constructs dwelling, settlement, herding unit, pastoral landscape and the labour–animal–pasture triangle. Ethnographic and archival evidence of transitions ...

Historians have traditionally treated peasant unrest in late twelfth- and early thirteenth-century Norway as part of a wider challenge to royal authority, as kings struggled to suppress political adversaries and rival claimants to the throne. This article seeks to shed greater light on this assumed correlation by analysing changing patterns of peasant mobilization. To do so, it proposes a terminological ...

Formålet med artikkelen er å kartlegge iranske forbrukeres holdninger til sjømat, deres kjøpsatferd og betalingsvillighet for sjømat. Dette gjøres gjennom to surveyundersøkelser av konsumenter i Teheran. Oppdrettet iransk regnbueørret spises mye, og smak er viktig. Norsk laks oppfattes som god i smak, ernæringsrik og bekvemmelig. Dette kan brukes i markedsføringen av laks, som imidlertid oppfattes ...

Antibiotikaresistensen ökar kraftigt, och i dag pågår ett internationellt samarbete för att motverka detta. Antibiotikaförskrivningen i tandvården i de nordiska länderna är ur ett internationellt perspektiv låg. Det finns dock en del indikationer på att denna kan reduceras ytterligare.

Fine-fraction K‒Ar dating and illite crystallinity determination were applied on a peculiar pale olive green shale sample from the upper Ediacaran Indreelva Member (Stáhpogieddi Formation, Vestertana Group, Gaissa Nappe Complex) of the Digermulen Peninsula in Finnmark, Arctic Norway, to constrain the age and metamorphic conditions of tectono-thermal overprint. The <2 and <0.2 µm grain-size fractions ...

The article considers one dominant tendency of independent filmmaking, and its impact on the treatment of the refugee (broadly conceived): the application of contemporary documentary methods to both fiction and nonfiction works. The goal is a preliminary exploration of the complex, context-sensitive political effects of the approach, sometimes dubbed the “documentary style”, as resistance of ...

DNA ligases operating at low temperatures have potential advantages for use in biotechnological applications. For this reason, we have characterized the temperature optima and thermal stabilities of three minimal Lig E-type ATP-dependent DNA ligase originating from Gram-negative obligate psychrophilic bacteria. The three ligases, denoted Vib-Lig, Psy-Lig, and Par-Lig, show a remarkable range of ...
