We report on simultaneous observation of artificial plasma density irregularities near the magnetic zenith (MZ) by incoherent scatter radar and GNSS satellite in the high latitude. During an EISCAT (European Incoherent Scatter Scientific Association) HF heating experiment, a GLONASS satellite signal intersected the disturbed ionospheric volume along the local magnetic field lines. The satellite ...

In a stable environment the brain can minimize processing required for sensory input by forming a predictive model of the surrounding world and suppressing neural response to predicted stimuli. Unpredicted stimuli lead to a prediction error signal propagation through the perceptual network, and resulting adjustment to the predictive model. The inter-regional plasticity which enables the model-building ...

Presentasjon med fokus på bibliotekets rolle som veiviser og veileder i informasjonssamfunnet. Som bibliotek har vi kompetanse på kilder og kildebruk, og mange bibliotekansatte arbeider aktivt med å formidle kjerneverdier som kritisk tenkning og digital dannelse til sine brukere.

This article investigates norms of parenting in the context of the Norwegian child welfare service (CWS). Research from both international and Norwegian contexts shows that current parenting ideals are built on middle-class values that are often taken for granted. However, there is limited knowledge about the interaction between the CWS and middle-class families. Through narrative positioning analysis, ...

Petroleum activities are associated with high risks. In the 1980s, concerns arose about the environmental impacts of ‘normal’ petroleum activity. Regular operations go hand-in-hand with emissions to air and discharges to sea. Both have been subject to extensive regulation since the 1990s. This paper analyzes the design and implementation of the Norwegian system that regulates operational discharges ...

Denne artikkelen analyserer et nordnorsk utvalg på 511 personer sin tillit til fylkeskommunen som vannregionmyndighet og kommunen som vannforvalter. Vi finner at til tross for utvalgets lave kjennskap til vannforvaltningen, har de høy grad av tillit til både vannregionmyndighetene og vannforvalterne. Vår antakelse er at dette skyldes at nordmenn tradisjonelt sett har høy tillit til politiske ...

Introduction: To guarantee a reliable diagnosis of Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) in bilingual children, evaluating both languages is recommended. However, little is known about how DLD impacts the heritage language, and it is largely unknown whether bilingual children with DLD develop the heritage language at the same pace as their peers with typical development (TD).<p> <p>Methods: For ...

Invasive pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) has been present in variable, but low, numbers in Norwegian waters since c. 1960, but beginning in 2017 their numbers have exploded in rivers in northern Norway, with considerable numbers also recorded in rivers in southern Norway and other countries bordering the North Atlantic. Analysis of pink salmon scales from two rivers draining to the western ...
