Despite great promise for understanding the impacts and extent of climate change on aquatic animals, their species, and ecological communities, it is surprising that tracking tools, like biotelemetry and biologging devices, have not been extensively used to understand climate change or develop and evaluate potential interventions that may forestall or mitigate its effects. In this review, we provide ...

Mining is becoming increasingly vulnerable to the effects of climate change (CC). The consequences of changing weather patterns, such as extreme weather events that can damage equipment, infrastructure, mining facilities, and operation interruption, are the source of the vulnerability. The new demand initiated by governments and international agreements put extra pressure on mining industries to ...

Vanskeligheten tvinger – og lærer – undervisere og studenter å lese tekster med tilsynelatende lav informasjonsgrad, mens viktigheten består i at dette korte formatet kan lære oss å stille spørsmål ...

Polysemy is defined as a multiplicity of related meanings connected by a single linguistic form. Polysemy can be understood in relation to both homonymy and contextual variation.

Polysemy borders on both homonymy and contextual ...

Control interventions (often called “sham,” “placebo,” or “attention controls”) are essential for studying the efficacy or mechanism of physical, psychological, and self-management interventions in clinical trials. This article presents core recommendations for designing, conducting, and reporting control interventions to establish a quality standard in non-pharmacological intervention research. A ...

Samene har i lang tid bebodd og hatt tilknytning til det karrige arktiske landskapet. Kan disse erfaringene være et bidrag i bærekraftig utvikling og det grønne skiftet? I dette kapitlet tar vi utgangspunkt i det tradisjonelle samiske begrepet «birget» som kan oversettes til det «å klare seg selv». Birget handler om å livberge seg med det naturen byr på. Ikke nytte mer enn man trenger, og å klare ...
