This article aims to try out a framework describing teacher positions based on an analysis of their interactions, and through this, gather ideas for further development of the framework. This article uses shared data from TWG 19, with data from five classrooms. These were analyzed by categorizing interaction from transcripts of the data. The analysis focuses mainly on the interactions related to one ...

Society recognises the need for the preservation of nature and the need for better resource utilisation. Integration of good practice in the building industry is mainly targeted at reducing or completely eliminating waste. One of the waste sources in the concrete industry is created in washing facilities and consists of returned concrete, washing water and cement slurry. Concrete trucks are washed ...

<b><p>Aims</b> Antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) are often associated with mobile genetic elements (MGEs), which facilitate their movement within and between bacterial populations. Detection of mobility is therefore important to understand the dynamics of MGE dissemination and their associated genes, especially in resistant clinical isolates that often have multiple ARGs associated with MGEs. ...

Portugal er et av de største sjømatmarkedene i Europa og verden. Forbruket av torsk har tradisjonelt vært høyt i Portugal; det ble for eksempel konsumert rundt 22 kg per innbygger i 2015. Formålet med masteroppgaven er å undersøke pristransmisjon for eksport- og utsalgspriser av norsk salt- og klippfisk i den portugisiske markedskjeden. Et relativt ubehandlet torskeprodukt, saltfisk, og et mer ...

The Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food and Environment (VKM) initiated this work to examine the extent to which organisms developed by genome-editing technologies pose new challenges in terms of risk assessment. This report considers whether the risk assessment guidance on genetically modified organisms, developed by the European Food Safety Authority ...

Acquiring a second alphabetic language also entails learning a new set of orthographic rules and specific patterns of grapheme combinations (namely, the orthotactics). The present longitudinal study aims to investigate whether orthotactic sensitivity changes over the course of a second language learning programme. To this end, a group of Spanish monolingual old adults completed a Basque language ...

In the complex and fast-changing marketing environment, there is a constant need to reduce costs and enhance the performance of production systems. The cost-cutting strategies need to consider the long-term effect on the company. For example, the layoff may reduce the cost in the short term, but in the long term, it may significantly affect employees' psychological safety and increase human error. ...

Majority of the start-ups fail in the early stage of the development due to lack of validation. This paper focuses on high-tech start-ups and investigates the use of data and/or big data at this stage. The study found that early-stage start-ups fail because they create products or services not needed in the market. Early validation through an agile approach can help these young companies to manoeuver ...

The primary focus of the study is to explore the previously unexplored relationship between nutrients and the onset of senescence in autumn.

Ptarmigan are one of the few animals, and only bird species, to undergo seasonal colour change. Every year they moult between a white winter morph and brown summer and autumn morphs and back again. Skin samples were collected from Lagopus muta and Lagopus lagopus during the autumn moult between brown and white morphs to compare areas with brown feathers and areas that had grown white feathers. The ...
