The still-evolving situation in Lebanon is characterized by multiple crises that affect students’ mental health and school functioning. This explorative study analyzes educators’ experience of students’ educational and psychosocial needs and their preparedness to deliver psychosocial support. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 19 public-school teachers and counselors in Lebanon. Educators ...

This article concentrates on the late medieval cathedral chapter and the canons of the archdiocese of Nidaros in Norway, and it will shed light on the close connection between the members of the cathedral chapter and the stockfish trade. The archdiocese included in the late medieval period the whole of today’s northern Norway, a vast area with limited surplus from agricultural products but all the ...

Historically, the Arctic has been imagined as the last frontier to conquer, tightly connected to ideas of manhood, adventure, and survival of the fittest. In the last decades, the Arctic has caught new interest as a resource frontier for tourism, trade, energy, and minerals. Climate change has both opened new waterways in the Arctic Ocean and altered living conditions drastically for Arctic communities. ...

The New Testament is a cultural canon that fundamentally shaped the development of Christian Europe and the entire Christian world. The Bible can be seen as a repository of ideas and behavioral rules that have been read and interpreted by many generations of (cultural) Christians. The ideas and behavioral rules that became part of the Bible, as well as their specific combinations and intertextual ...

Kystområdene i Finnmark har en lang samisk historie, der fornorskningsprosessene har ført til språkskifte i mange familier og til norsk som dominerende språk. Vitalisering av sjøsamisk og flyttsamisk identitet og språk vises blant annet i samisk institusjonsbygging. Denne artikkelen handler om praksiser samiske barnehagelærere bruker for å styrke samisk språk og kultur i en vitaliseringskontekst. ...

Indigenous politics is a result of the human rights revolution after World War II, and the mobilization by ethnic groups for recognition, equality, and influence over their own situation. In the last 30 years, the awareness of the right to self-determination has given new impetus and content to how the relationship between indigenous peoples and the state should be. As part of this deep-going change, ...

Background: Studies of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) report an association between higher patient volumes and better outcomes. In regions with dispersed settlement, this must be balanced against the advantages with shorter pre-hospital transport times and timely access. The aim of this study is to report outcome for unselected aSAH-cases from a well-defined rural population treated in a ...

Glacial groundwater can mobilize deep-seated methane from beneath glaciers and permafrost in the Arctic, leading to atmospheric emissions of this greenhouse gas. We present a temporal, hydro-chemical dataset of methane-rich groundwater collected during two melt seasons from a high Arctic glacial forefield to explore the seasonal dynamics of methane emissions. We use methane and ion concentrations ...

Stability selection represents an attractive approach to identify sparse sets of features jointly associated with an outcome in high-dimensional contexts. We introduce an automated calibration procedure via maximisation of an in-house stability score and accommodating a priori-known block structure (e.g. multi-OMIC) data. It applies to [Least Absolute Shrinkage Selection Operator (LASSO)] penalised ...

In this thesis, we establish the theoretical foundation for determining the minimum requirements for charging infrastructures in networks where electric ferries operate on a fixed schedule. The problem - named the Multiple-Trip Electric Charging Station Placement (MT-ECSP) - is formulated as a 0-1 Integer Program, and is subsequently proven to be NP-hard. We construct several instances of the ...
