This article gives an overview of the word order patterns found in the Nordic Word Order Database (NWD), providing maps that illustrate variation in argument placement and verb placement across the North Germanic languages. All investigated phenomena show variable word order in at least one of the languages, and categorical word order in other languages, considering at least one of the investigated ...

Regime shifts have been reported as ubiquitous features across the world’s oceans. Many regime shift detection methods are available, but their performance is rarely evaluated, and the supporting evidence for regime shifts may be thin because of the nature of marine ecological time series that are often short, autocorrelated, and uncertain. In the Norwegian Sea, a regime shift has been reported ...

Background: Ketosis seems to attenuate, or prevent, the rise in both ghrelin concentrations and subjective hunger ratings that follow weight loss. However, most of the previous studies have employed very-low energy diets (VLED) and are therefore limited in terms of generalizability. Objectives: To compare changes in ghrelin plasma concentrations after a low-carbohydrate (LCD) versus an isocaloric ...

Denne rapporten handler om idrettens plass i barns liv. I rapportens første del går vi gjennom hvordan barns idrettsaktivitet og organisatoriske rammer for barns idrettsdeltakelse har endret seg historisk. Vi gir også en oversikt over nyere norsk forskning om barns idrettsliv. I den andre delen undersøker vi noen sider ved norske 10 til 12-åringers treningsvaner og idrettsliv gjennom analyser av et ...

The article follows the genealogy of what is referred to as “Sami national sports” in the Murmansk region from the establishment of Bolshevik power in the early 1920s to the present day. It highlights three periods (the 1920s and 1930s, characterised by the transformation of traditional play into Soviet forms of physical activity), the 1970s and the 1980s when national sports were revitalised in ...

The recent reforms in the Norwegian early childhood/primary/secondary education curriculum explicitly highlight the inclusion of Sámi perspectives across various subjects. In this context, one of several suggested educational practices is to include Sámi traditional practitioners in teaching activities. Against this backdrop, this paper explores the perspectives of five Sámi practitioners, concentrating ...

Background As populations age in the Western world, interventions aiming for‘aging in place’, such as reablement, have gained prominence. Reablement programs have focused on enabling older people to maintain independence in their home environment. However, while a growing body of research points to the considerable benefts of engaging in outdoor environments, reablement rarely addresses outdoor ...

The Peetre K-functional is a key object in the development of the real method of interpolation. In this paper we point out a less known relation to wavelet theory and its applications to approximation theory and engineering applications. As a new basis for further development of these studies we present some known properties in the form appropriate for further applications and then derive new ...

This article discusses a formalization of aspects of Cyber-Sovereignty (CyS) for information and communication technology (ICT), linking them to technological trustworthiness and deriving an associated paradigm for hard- and software design. The upcoming 6G ICT standard is considered a keystone within modern society’s increasing interconnectedness and automatization, as it provides the ...

Introduction - Blood biomarkers for early detection of lung cancer (LC) are in demand. There are few studies of the full microRNome in serum of asymptomatic subjects that later develop LC. Here we searched for novel microRNA biomarkers in blood from non-cancer, ever-smokers populations up to eight years before diagnosis.<p> <p>Methods - Serum samples from 98,737 subjects from two prospective ...
