AgNO3 Sterilizes Grains of Barley (Hordeum vulgare) without Inhibiting Germination—A Necessary Tool for Plant–Microbiome Research
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-17)To understand and manipulate the interactions between plants and microorganisms, sterile seeds are a necessity. The seed microbiome (inside and surface microorganisms) is unknown for most plant species and seed-borne microorganisms can persist and transfer to the seedling and rhizosphere, thereby obscuring the effects that purposely introduced microorganisms have on plants. This necessitates that ... -

«Kan vi fortsette å jobbe i små grupper, det føles mye tryggere å engasjere seg der». En aksjonsforskningsstudie der samarbeidslæring blir innført som ny forskningsbasert pedagogisk modell
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-12-15)Forskning på kroppsøvingsfaget i Norge tyder på at noen elever ikke liker faget og at faget preges av gamle tradisjoner og diskurser. I egen kroppsøvingsundervisning tror jeg manglende verbal involvering hos elevene er en av barriere for læring, utvikling og interesse for faget. Jeg hadde derfor et ønske om å utvikle undervisningen og en tanke om at samarbeidslæring som evidensbasert undervisning, ... -
Modes of indigenizing: remarks on indigenous religion as a method
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-23)Romanticisms, not colonialisms, drive the indigenizing and the religionizing in the cases described and analyzed in this special issue. In what follows, I shall explain what I mean by this observation and suggest ways to think about it critically. The task of this essay is to highlight entangled methodological and political contexts for the discussion about “indigenizing” that Graham Harvey opened ... -
Effect of a lateral square-mesh panel on the catch pattern and catch efficiency in a Mediterranean bottom trawl fishery
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-31)The current legal codends used in Mediterranean bottom trawl fisheries are at high risk of retaining undersized individuals of several commercial fish species. This entails that codends alone are unable to provide the desired exploitation pattern. A simple technological measure that potentially can provide higher release efficiency of undersized fish are Square-Mesh Panels (SMPs). SMPs are often ... -
Climatic changes cause synchronous population dynamics and adaptive strategies among coastal hunter-gatherers in Holocene northern Europe
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-16)Synchronized demographic and behavioral patterns among distinct populations is a well-known, natural phenomenon. Intriguingly, similar patterns of synchrony occur among prehistoric human populations. However, the drivers of synchronous human ecodynamics are not well understood. Addressing this issue, we review the role of environmental variability in causing human demographic and adaptive responses. ... -
