Hvordan kan en tettere sammenkobling mellom samiske kreative næringer og reiseliv bidra til nytenking om bærekraft, innovasjon og formidling av samisk kunnskap om natur og kultur – og slik bidra til utvikling av mat- og kulturopplevelser som gagner mangfoldet i Sápmi.

Changes in ocean circulation are considered a major driver of centennial-to-millennial scale climate variability during the last deglaciation. Using four sediment records from the Nordic Seas, we studied radiocarbon ventilation ages in subsurface and bottom waters to reconstruct past variations in watermass overturning. Planktic foraminiferal ages show significant spatial variability over most of ...

Research has shown that in addition to top-down and bottom-up processes, biases produced by the repetition priming effect and reward play a major role in visual selection. Action control research argues that bidirectional effect-response associations underlie the repetition priming effect and that such associations are also achievable through verbal instructions. This study evaluated whether verbally ...

This article centres around a volume of sermons and its three documented owners. The book first belonged to a vicar, then to a nobleman, and finally to a farmhand. The three owners all left marks on the book, and the farmhand wrote a remarkable passage on its last page, detailing his reading of the book. The three owners’ possession of the book spans over a century, 1766–1876, a period that saw ...

Video recordings are an important resource for capturing in-dept social interaction and collaboration in workplace studies. Video-recorded observations can be used to analyse knowledge expansion in collaborative work when practitioners use videoconferences (VCs). Interaction analysis of a problem-solving activity is carried out, pointing to sequences in the work where knowledge expand, and problems ...

Under national and international legislation, when choosing a foster home, continuity of upbringing and connection to the child’s cultural, religious, ethnic and linguistic backgrounds is desirable. However, research shows that such considerations are only taken into account to a small extent and that children from minority backgrounds are often settled in majority foster homes. The Norwegian Child ...

<i>Background</i> - Contextual variables such as staff characteristics, treatment programs, assessment routines and administrative structures are found to influence patient violence rates in psychiatric forensic wards. The possible effects of current developments in treatment philosophy emphasizing patientsˈ perspective and treatment involvement upon violence rate have not yet been examined. The aim ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is capable of thriving in diverse environments due to its network of regulatory components for effective response to stress factors. The survival of the bacteria is also dependent on the ability to discriminate between the acquisition of beneficial and non-beneficial genetic materials via horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Thus, bacteria have evolved the CRISPR-Cas adaptive immune ...

The role of vitamin K in animal health has not received much attention. Vitamin K studies have, for the most part, addressed the use of animals in the investigation of vitamin K physiology and pathophysiology, often using the rodent as a model system. However, vitamin K performs the same role in animals as it does in man and there are areas, such as animal nutrition, where a better understanding of ...

Den kritiske rasjonalismen utviklet av Popper går imot relativisme og skeptisisme. Likevel er han opptatt av å vise at vi aldri kan bevise at det vi påstår er sant. Derimot, sier Popper, så kan vi bevise at noe er usant. Dette poenget fikk stor betydning for Poppers syn på vitenskapelig utvikling og fremskritt. Den amerikanske vitenskapsfilosofen Thomas Kuhns første bok het “Vitenskapelige revolusjoners ...
