In our study, we explored how two high-performing mathematics students gained insight while working on ill-structured problems. We followed their problem-solving process through taskbased interviews and observed a similar sequence of insights in both participants’ work- (1) Spontaneous insight, (2) Passive gradual insight, (3) Sudden insight, and (4) Active gradual insight. An impasse occurred ...

Finnmarksløpet er Europas lengste langdistanse hundeløp. Det gikk første gang av stabelen i 1981 og har gått hvert år siden, med unntak av pandemiåret 2021. Løpet har fått stor betydning for Finnmark og er med på å vise fram fylket for et stadig større publikum. Denne artikkelen løfter fram utviklingen fra å være et lite villmarksløp for noen få interesserte til å samle hele Finnmark i et av landsdelens ...

Currently available data show mixed results as to whether the processing of emotional information has the same characteristics in the native (L1) as in the second language (L2) of bilinguals. We conducted a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experiment to shed light on the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying bilinguals’ emotional processing in L1 and L2 during an emotional interference ...

Mandarin sortal classifiers simultaneously encode semantic and grammatical form class cues. Building on a second language (L2) study of Grüter et al. we used the same visual world eye-tracking experiment, designed to examine the relative use of the two cues, testing Mandarin heritage speakers (HSs) living in an English-speaking environment. Given the importance of understanding individual differences, ...

Emerging scholarship on the EU and Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022 has predominantly focused on explaining the unprecedented strength of the EU’s response, especially its new far-reaching sanctions against Russia and the granting of a candidate country status to all three Eastern Neighbours. What is missing from the picture is the role of pre-war EU-Ukraine external ...

This article presents a postcolonial and feminist analysis of 44 newspaper articles published between 1965 and 2022 about “the coil campaign” in Greenland, which fitted Greenlandic Inuit women with the IUD in the 1960s and 1970s, at times without their knowledge or consent. Using a media archive search and conducting a discursive analysis, we explore how journalistic reporting and debates ...

Counting growth layers in dentine and/or secondary cementum is widely used for age determination in wild mammals but the underlying seasonal changes in the structure and degree of mineralisation of dental tissue have not been well characterised. We embedded first (m1) and second (m2) mandibular permanent molar teeth from a 12-year-old female Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus) in ...

Affordable housing has been a challenging policy issue since the entrance of colonial policy to the region that is now called Canada. Providing affordable and culturally appropriate housing in Northern Saskatchewan has complex and layered challenges, many of which urban regions and even other rural regions do not face. These challenges include a lack of infrastructure, extreme climates, a low capacity ...

This thesis maps the raw material trends of early and middle Mesolithic Nordland and southern Troms County, northern Norway. The lithics which were procured, used, and discarded makes up substantial parts of the archaeological empirical material. During the last few decades, commercial and infrastructural excavations has increased in numbers in these regions. The findings of these excavations have ...

This research explores the motivations behind code-switching behavior, particularly focusing on its occurrence within the context of group discussions among English undergraduate students. Twenty participants, consisting of seven females and thirteen males, were observed during group discussions and subsequently interviewed individually to elucidate the reasons underlying their code-switching ...
