Contrary to most debates about state formation, this article outlines an alternative perspective on the shaping of political community – and the international peace architecture – based on the agency of actors engaged in peaceful forms of politics after war. Drawing on long-standing critical debates, it investigates the positive potential of ‘peace formation’, outlining the theoretical development ...

I 2017 undersøkte Tromsø Museum en boplass fra eldre steinalder, ett árran fra middelalder og skyteskjul antatt å være samiske, men som viste seg å være av moderne karakter. Boplassen fra steinalder besto av ulike funnkonsentrasjoner og kunne dateres til perioden 8500-8200 f. Kr. Gjenstandsmaterialet var innholdsrikt med kjerner, tangespisser, eneggete spisser, mikrolitter og veldokumentert ...

<i>Background and aims</i>: The aim of the study was to examine the effect of mirror and tactile therapy on phantom and stump pain in patients with traumatic amputations, with particular reference to amputees in low-income communities.<p> <p><i>Methods</i>: The study was conducted with an open, randomized, semi-crossover case-control design in rural Cambodia. A study sample of 45 landmine ...

A thorough review of the Oligocene-Miocene stratigraphic evolution and depositional environments in the Norwegian part of the southern North Sea is presented and considered alongside observations of petroleum system indicators, from seismic-, core- and well-data. The reconstructed paleo-environments show a trend of fluctuating eustatic sea-levels, controlled by basin subsidence and uplift of the ...

This article discusses how dilapidated material heritage could be understood as something more than just an abject phenomenon. Archaeology of the recent past offers an opportunity to consider such things from a more nuanced perspective that don’t dismiss them out of hand. These nuances shed new light on how dilapidated things shape our experience of the recent past. The discussion is based on Retiro, ...

<p><i>Aim: </i>A questionnaire has been used repeatedly in cross-sectional studies to determine the prevalence of asthma, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (AR) and eczema among schoolchildren in Nordland County, Norway. The current study was designed to validate the questionnaire against clinical assessment as the diagnostic gold standard and to investigate the extent of possible misclassification. ...

<p><i>Background - </i>Current guidelines on the use of β-blockers in post–acute myocardial infarction (MI) patients without reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) are based on studies before the implementation of modern reperfusion and secondary prevention therapies. It remains unknown whether β-blockers will reduce mortality and recurrent MI in contemporary revascularized post-MI patients ...

An annual procution of over one billion tonnes, and an economic turnover in excess of $US400 billion; this is the animal feed industry. The vast majority of animal feed is given to terrestrial farm animals; those reared for meat, and those used to produce eggs and dairy products. Fish feeds make up about 5% of the total volume of animal feeds and have a 10% share of marked sales. <p> <p>It is ...

Post-translational modifcation of intracellular proteins with a single N-acetylglucosamine sugar (O-GlcNAcylation) regulates signaling, proliferation, metabolism and protein stability. In breast cancer, expression of the enzyme that catalyzes O-GlcNAcylation – O-GlcNAc-transferase (OGT), and the extent of protein O-GlcNAcylation, are upregulated in tumor tissue, and correlate with cancer progression. ...

Tema for masteroppgaven er digital tegning, fordelene og utfordringene som elevene tilkjennega i min undersøkelse. Tegnekrisa som oppstår i 10-14-årsalderen, kan den utsettes eller minimeres med digital tegning? Ville bruken av nettbrett motivere elevene til å tegne mer og lengre? Undersøkelsen viste at de fleste elevene fortsatt tegnet og likte å tegne med blyant, noe jeg har kalt analog tegning. ...
