    • Introduction: The Making of Sámi Religion in Contemporary Society 

      Fonneland, Trude; Äikäs, Tiina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-23)
      This Special Issue of Religions approaches “Sámi religion” from a long-term perspective seeing both the past religious practices and contemporary religious expressions as aspects of the same phenomena. This does not refer, however, to a focus on continuity or to a static or uniform understanding of Sámi religion. Sámi religion is an ambiguous concept that has to be understood as a pluralistic ...
    • The structural configurations of root categorization 

      Alexiadou, Artemis; Lohndal, Terje (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2017-09-25)
      This paper discusses the syntax of roots by way of looking at four different views discussed in the literature: (i) roots merged as complements, (ii) roots merged as modifiers, (iii) roots merged either as complements or as modifiers, and (iv) roots merged in a unique way. A lot of time is devoted to (i) and to demonstrate empirical challenges from both the nominal and the verbal domain. With the ...

      Carbon nanotube (CNT) films are gaining traction in applications such as transparent conductive films, electro-magnetic shields and thin film heaters. However, to date, few cost-effective large-area CNT coating methods have been reported. Here, we present a roll-to-roll (R2R) slot-die coating process for thin film CNT heaters. In this process, a CNT suspension is continuously coated on a PET film ...
    • Arctic seals as tracers of environmental and ecological change 

      De la Vega, C.; Mahaffey, C.; Tuerena, R.E.; Yurkowski, D.J.; Ferguson, S.H.; Stenson, G.B.; Nordøy, E.S.; Haug, Tore; Biuw, Martin; Smout, S.; Hopkins, J.; Tagliabue, A.; Jeffreys, R.M. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-12)
      Knowledge of species trophic position (TP) is an essential component of ecosystem management. Determining TP from stable nitrogen isotopes (δ<sup>15</sup>N) in predators requires understanding how these tracers vary across environments and how they relate to predator isotope composition. We used two seal species as a model for determining TP across large spatial scales in the Arctic. δ<sup>15</sup>N ...
    • Prolonged high-grade metamorphism of supracrustal gneisses from Muhlig-Hofmannfjella, central Dronning Maud Land (East Antarctica) 

      Elvevold, Synnøve; Engvik, Ane; Abu-Alam, Tamer; Myhre, Per Inge; Corfu, Fernando (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-09)
      The bedrock of Mühlig-Hofmannfjella, central Dronning Maud Land in eastern Antarctica, is part of the high-grade Maud Belt and comprises a deep-seated metamorphic-plutonic complex. The P-T-t evolution of anatectic supracrustal gneisses has been recovered through a study of mineral assemblages, textural relationships and U-Pb ID TIMS geochronology on zircon and monazite followed by pseudosection ...
    • Does childhood trauma influence cognitive functioning in schizophrenia? The association of childhood trauma and cognition in schizophrenia spectrum disorders. 

      Mørkved, Nina; Johnsen, Erik; Kroken, Rune Andreas; Gjestad, Rolf; Winje, Dagfinn; Thimm, J.; Fathian, Farivar; Rettenbacher, Maria; Anda-Ågotnes, Liss Gøril; Løberg, Else-Marie (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-19)
      Childhood trauma (CT) is a risk factor for schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSDs), and cognitive impairment is a core feature and a vulnerability marker of SSDs. Studies of the relationship between CT and cognitive impairment in SSDs are inconclusive. In addition, few studies have examined differential effects of CT subtypes, e.g. physical, sexual or emotional abuse/neglect, on cognitive functioning. ...
    • Complement in sepsis — when science meets clinics 

      Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Huber-Lang, Markus (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-21)
      Sepsis as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by microorganisms represents a dreadful challenge for the immune system. The role of the complement system as major column of innate immunity has been extensively studied in various sepsis models, but its translational value remains in the dark. Complement activation products, such as C3a and C5a, and their corresponding receptors provide useful ...
    • Vegetation changes and plant wax biomarkers from an ombrotrophic bog define hydroclimate trends and human-environment interactions during the Holocene in Northern Norway 

      Balascio, Nicholas L.; Anderson, R. Scott; D’Andrea, William J.; Wickler, Stephen; D’Andrea, Robert; Bakke, Jostein (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-17)
      Holocene climate records from northern Europe improve our understanding of important North Atlantic ocean and atmospheric circulation systems to long-term insolation-driven changes, as well as more rapid forcing and feedback mechanisms. Here we assess Holocene climate and environmental changes in northern Norway based on the analysis of pollen, non-pollen palynomorphs, plant macrofossils, and plant ...
    • Lost in translation: from the university's quality assurance system to student evaluation practice 

      Borch, Iris Helene (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-07)
      Student course evaluation is a mandatory part of quality assurance systems in Norwegian higher education, aiming to enhance educational quality. However, several studies report that student course evaluation mainly is used for quality assurance and not for quality enhancement. Drawing upon translation theory, this paper analyses how the quality assurance system (QAS) that regulates evaluation, the ...

    • Land, History and People: Older people’s Stories about Meaningful Activities and Social Relations in Later Life 

      Eggebø, Helga; Munkejord, Mai Camilla; Schönfelder, Walter (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-11-05)
      Social and humanistic gerontology have challenged the narratives of pessimism and decline embedded in bio-medical models of aging and care. One stream of criticism comes from literature about active ageing, and another from literature on person-centred care. A common concern is how to promote well-being during old age. This study explores the possibilities of promoting well-being and person-centred ...
    • A prospective observational study of why people are medically evacuated from offshore installations in the North Sea 

      Waje-Andreassen, Anne; Østerås, Øyvind; Brattebø, Guttorm (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      <i>Objectives</i> - Few studies have described evacuations due to medical emergencies from the offshore installations in the North Sea, though efficient medical service is essential for the industrial activities in this area. The major oil- and gas-producing companies’ search and rescue (SAR) service is responsible for medical evacuations. Using a prospective approach, we describe the characteristics ...
