Denne artikkelen er i hovedsak en gjennomgang av en kopibok skrevet av Isaac Olsen, som var omreisende lærer i Finnmark i perioden 1703–1716. I tillegg trekkes noen komplementerende dokumenter inn for kronologisk å belyse og drøfte Olsens virke i forkant av den offisielle misjon i Finnmark, som Thomas von Westen ledet. Artikkelens kildegrunnlag er originaldokumenter fra Kulturhistorisk Museum i Oslo ...

In autumn 2015, several sources reported observations of large amounts of gelatinous material in a large north Norwegian fjord system, either caught when trawling for other organisms or fouling fishing gear. The responsible organism was identified as a physonect siphonophore, Nanomia cara, while a ctenophore, Beroe cucumis, and a hydromedusa, Modeeria rotunda, were also registered in high abundances ...

Changes in the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) during the last two decades have not been extensively studied. Therefore, we studied time trends in the incidence rates (IRs) of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) in a cohort of 26,855 subjects, aged 25–97 years, enrolled in the Tromsø study in 1994/1995. The subject were followed-up throughout 2012, and all symptomatic, ...

Denne artikkelen ser nærmere på Brynjulf Bergsliens rytterstatue over Karl Johan (1875) på Slottsplassen i Oslo som kunstverk, som herskersymbol, som offentlig minnesmerke og som feiring av nasjonalstaten. Det moderne Norge etter 1814 hadde lite å vise til når det gjaldt offentlige skulpturmonumenter. Hva var bakgrunnen for at nettopp dette monumentet kom på plass og ikke et som var viet Grunnloven? ...

In northern Norway, late/post-Caledonian extension initiated along inverted, brittle-ductile thrusts, e.g. Sørøya-Ingøya shear zone, which truncated existing, margin-oblique, late Neoproterozoic, Timanian faults and margin-parallel, latest Mesoproterozoic-mid Neoproterozoic faults related to the opening of the Asgard Sea and Iapetus Ocean. Inverted thrusts were active through the Devonian and early ...

This thesis looks in detail at Spanish deverbal adjectives, and how these are syntactically built. In-depth analyses of three Spanish suffixes (-ón, -dizo and -dero) that form these kinds of derivations are carried out. We identify three non-episodic readings of these adjectives –habituality, dispositionality and modality– and focus on how these three readings are obtained. I claim that the differences ...

We establish 2-jet determinacy for the symmetry algebra of the underlying structure of any (complex or real) parabolic geometry. At non-flat points, we prove that the symmetry algebra is in fact 1-jet determined. Moreover, we prove 1-jet determinacy at any point for a variety of non-flat parabolic geometries—in particular torsion-free, parabolic contact, and several other classes.

Background: Functional genomics in a processual analysis cover the time-dependent changes in transcriptomics and epigenetics before diagnosis of a disease, reflecting the changes in both life style and disease processes. The aim of this paper is to explore the dynamic, time-dependent mechanisms of the metastatic processes, using blood transcriptomics and including time in a continuous manner. For ...

The present multiproxy investigation of marine sediment cores aims at: 1) Identifying dispersion of petroleum exploration related drill cutting releases within the Goliat Field, Barents Sea in 2006/07 and 2) Assessing past and present influence of drill cuttings on the marine environment. The cores were recovered 5, 30, 60, 125 and 250 m from the drill site in the eastward downstream direction.<p> ...

Aims: <br>Little is known about impact of maternal alcohol and tobacco consumption on adolescents’ body size. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether maternal alcohol or tobacco consumption is associated with their children’s body size in adolescence, assessed by Body Mass Index (BMI). <br> Methods: <br>This study was conduct in subjects recruited into the Finnish Health in Teens ...
