In this paper, I describe the practice of sharing and eating wild meat amongst the Orochen in northeast China, a community of hunters who are no longer allowed to hunt due to state conservation policies. I show how for Orochen meat is the material intermediary between the human and nonhuman worlds, offered to the fire before meals and to animal spirit-masters during hunting. I suggest this demands ...

Current genetics studies often refer to notions from information science. The purpose of this paper is to summarize and structure the different notions of information used in biology, as a step towards developing a taxonomy of information. Within this framework we propose an extension of Floridi’s conceptual model of information. We also make use of the concept of specified information and show ...

Teacher education (TE) in Norway is nationally mandated and subject to much political attention because education is an important social and cultural phenomenon with a significant place in policy and everyday life. A main purpose of the latest TE reform implemented in 2017 is to raise the status and professionalism of teachers. The ambition of the Norwegian government is to permanently strengthen ...

A wide range of tools have been used to assess the language proficiency of bilingual speakers. The validity and high reliability of lexical diversity and syntactic complexity measures as instruments for measuring language proficiency have been demonstrated in previous studies across different languages. However, the relationship between self-assessment and the two measures has not yet been investigated. ...

The goal of the European Union’s Green Deal industrial plan is to achieve an ecological transition over the next three decades. This transition includes the electrification of energy and transport systems. Achieving such a transformation requires access to critical raw materials for the technologies that will enable the post-carbon transition of European societies. In this context, the European ...

A large hindrance to analyzing information in genetic or protein sequence data has been a lack of a mathematical framework for doing so. In this paper, we present a multinomial probability space X as a general foundation for multicategory discrete data, where categories refer to variants/alleles of biosequences. The external information that is infused in order to generate a sample of such data ...

Hva er den moderne teknikkens status? Beriker den våre liv eller frarøver den vår tilværelse mening? Med utgangspunkt i konfliktlinjen mellom den klassiske teknikkfilosofien og den empiriske vendingen forsvarer herværende oppgave en forståelse av den moderne teknikken som bejaer den moderne teknikken som meningsskapende. Jeg søker å ivareta den klassiske teknikkfilosofiens enhetlige og historiske ...

Previous research on real-time sentence processing in German has shown that listeners use the morphological marking of accusative case on a sentence-initial noun phrase to not only interpret the current argument as the object and patient, but also to predict a plausible agent. So far, less is known about the use of case marking to predict the semantic role of upcoming arguments after the subject/agent ...

While Henry and Levinas are often juxtaposed, little attention has been given to their shared views on pain and pleasure. Both phenomenologists converge on the argument that an adequate account of pain and pleasure requires a critical confrontation with the theory of intentionality. This raises further questions. What roles do interiority and exteriority play in pain and pleasure? Should they be ...

Isbre er et godt utgangspunkt for undervisning om bærekraft. Det er lite forskning på elevers oppfatning av isbre (Corrochano & Gómez-Gonçalves, 2019). Det fins likevel noe, Felzmann (2017) forsket på elevers oppfatning av isbre og istiden, og Francek (2013) skriver i sin studie blant annet om misoppfatninger om isbre. Det meste av litteraturen handler om klasseromsundervisning. Denne studien ...
