    • Incidental changes in orthographic processing in the native language as a function of learning a new language late in life 

      Dunabeitia Landaburu, Jon Andoni; Borragan, Maria; Casaponsa, Aina; Antón, Eneko (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-25)
      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 ...

    • Landscape change in the Nile Delta during the fourth millennium BC: A new perspective on the Egyptian Predynastic and Protodynastic periods 

      Pennington, Benjamin; Wilson, Penny; Sturt, Fraser; Brown, Antony (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-21)
      The role environmental change may have played at the dawn of Egyptian history has been overlooked in comparison with other periods. Natural landscape changes taking place in the Nile Delta are argued here to have been a facilitating factor allowing, and possibly stimulating, socioeconomic changes leading to the ‘Lower Egyptian – Naqada Transition’ (LE-NT, c. 3350 BC). In this context, the LE-NT may ...

    • From Waste to Value: A Practical Framework for Waste Identification and Mitigation Using Lean Management Principles 

      Barabadi, Abbas; Nouri, Ali (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)
      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. ...

    • Early Validation of High-Tech Start-ups by Using Big Data 

      Ahmed, Saad; Kjørstad, Marianne; Muller, Gerrit; Sundheim, Ottar (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023)
      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 ...

      Langholz, Petja Lyn; Sommerseth, Hilde Leikny (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-13)
      The number of studies on social inequality in mortality in Norway before 1960 is limited and they often focus on early life outcomes. Little is known about socioeconomic differences in old-age mortality before the emergence of the welfare state. Linked census and church records from the Historical Population Register of Norway were used to study a sample of 10,457 men and women born 1841–1870 ...

    • Bjørnejakt og samisk gravtradisjon. 

      Sommerseth, Ingrid (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2020)
      Tradisjonene rundt den eldgammel samiske bjørnejakten er godt dokumentert, både arkeologisk og etnografisk. Brunbjørnen var et fryktet og samtidig hellig dyr for samene. Spor etter bjørnejakten finner vi i form av graver med bjørnebein i huler og urer i den nordnorske naturen. Bjørnen ble hedret for å sikre jaktlykke og for å sikre bjørnens tilbakekomst og rettmessige plass i naturen.

    • Impediments to mathematical creativity: Fixation and flexibility in proof validation 

      Haavold, Per Øystein (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-15)
      Mathematical techniques in proof writing can be narrowed down to specific proof styles. Simply put, proofs can be direct or indirect- the latter using the Law of the Excluded Middle from logic as well as the axiom of Choice, to prove existence of mathematical objects. However, the thinking skills involved in writing indirect proofs are prone to errors, especially from novice proof writers such as ...
