We prove that by scaling nearest-neighbour ferromagnetic energies de ned on Poisson random sets in the plane we obtain an isotropic perimeter energy with a surface tension characterised by an asymptotic formula. The result relies on proving that cells with `very long' or `very short' edges of the corresponding Voronoi tessellation can be neglected. In this way we may apply Geometry Measure ...

International Relations (IR) considers states to be the central actors in the international system, and IR’s main theories have been heavily focused on great powers. While many scholars that politics is about more than government and broadens the analytical emphasis to also include non-state, sub-national, sub-regional actors – conferences have attracted limited attention. Still, global conferences ...

Vi er inne i en hektisk sesong med virale luftveisinfeksjoner. Respiratorisk syncytialvirus (RS-virus) er den hyppigste årsaken til bronkiolitt hos barn. Pediatriveilederen er tydelig på at perorale glukokortikoider ikke har noen plass i behandlingen av bronkiolitt og at det sjelden er behov for antibiotika.

Stakeholder consultations serve as powerful legitimising devices upon the balance of participants, the quality of the process and its effective results. We propose a deliberative digital stakeholder consultation methodology based on an appreciative inquiry approach to materiality assessment. We illustrate its application in a four-month consultation for the European Commission (2020 European Tourism ...

With the emergence and the widespread of the COVID-19 pandemic across the globe, there is an urgent need to effectively control the disease spread through mass vaccination. Several COVID-19 vaccines, e.g., Pfizer/BioNtech and Moderna, etc., have been proven highly effective and have been distributed and administrated in many countries. These vaccines need to be produced in large quantities and ...

A hometown is the place to which an individual has an affective bond resulting from either being born there or living there for lived for a long time. This article investigates people's intention to support the revival of tourism in their hometowns post-COVID-19. The research hypothesises that individuals are affected by the threat to ontological security, freedom of movement, and freedom of ...

Non-compliance with social distancing (SD) measures clearly has negative effects on both public health and post-pandemic economic recovery. However, little is as yet known about people's views on and factors influencing their behavioral intentions toward SD measures. This study draws on moral disengagement theory and the norm-activation model to investigate mechanisms that promote or hinder compliance ...

Artikkelen utforsker hvordan norske sosialarbeidere forholder seg til den islamske rettstradisjonen når de arbeider med ekteskaps- og skilsmisserelaterte saker som påvirker livene til klienter med muslimsk bakgrunn. Noen sider av tradisjonen overlapper og virker sammen med norsk lov, og kan i enkelte tilfeller undergrave utsatte personers menneskerettigheter. Med utgangspunkt i begrepene juridisk ...

Pannaria microphyllizans, a previously misunderstood species, is shown here to have gibbose perispores with long-tailed apical extensions, and to lack TLC-detectable chemistry. It is related to P. athroophylla, a species with different phyllidia, a chemistry of isovicanicin and leprolomin, and spores of the same type but differing in several details. The latter has been too widely interpreted in ...

The focus on challenges related to digital distance learning has become particularly relevant since educational institutions had to close due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Teaching related to operationally oriented professions, such as e.g., aviation and nautical represent educations that have faced extensive challenges. Education portfolios for such professions contain subjects that require transfer ...
