    • Barents Virtual University? : plans, problems and possibilities 

      Thorvaldsen, Steinar (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2001)
      The international introduction of Internet during the last 8-10 years has resulted in a reorganisation of the IT-sector. This change is overwhelming, to an extent only few experts could predict.Several influential policy reports recently have argued that our societies are changing from industrial societies into 'information societies', in which the creation and dissemination of knowledge is of ...

    • Monument og minne. Mobilisering av fortid - argument for fremtid? 

      Aarekol, Lena (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2007)
      In 1977 a monument in memory of the Finnish immigrants was erected in Vadsø, the capital town of the county of Finnmark. The unveiling ceremony of the monument was an exceptional event, where the Norwegian king Olav, the Swedish king Carl Gustav and the Finnish president Uhro Kekkonen attended. The purpose of the monument was to pay tribute to the Finnish immigrants and their contribution to the ...

    • Kvendrakten : om å kle seg kvensk. 

      Aarekol, Lena (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2008)
      Denne artikkelen har fokus på hvordan og hvorfor kvendrakten ble skapt. Hvordan skriver skapelsen av denne drakten seg inn i norsk folkedrakt- og bunadtradisjon? Klær har mange funksjoner, men i denne sammenhengen vil jeg se på det visuelle og identitetsskapende aspektet ved bekledning.

    • Kven culture and history in museum terms 

      Aarekol, Lena (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2008)
      In this article I look more closely at how Kven culture and history gained their place in museums and what processes led to the foundation of these museums. In addition, I shall attempt to identify how Kven culture and history have been portrayed and which accounts of the Kven have been presented by these museums. In this context it is instructive to look more closely at why these museums may be ...

    • Synthetic Aperture Focusing of Ultrasonic Data From Multilayered Media Using an Omega-K Algorithm 

      Skjelvareid, Martin H.; Olofsson, Tomas; Birkelund, Yngve; Larsen, yngvar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      The synthetic aperture focusing technique (SAFT) is used to create focused images from ultrasound scans. SAFT has traditionally been applied only for imaging in a single medium, but the recently introduced phase shift migration (PSM) algorithm has expanded the use of SAFT to multilayer structures. In this article we present a similar focusing algorithm called multi-layer omega-k (MULOK), which ...

    • Virological and serological surveillance for type A influenza in the black-legged kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla) 

      Tønnessen, Ragnhild; Germundsson, Anna; Jonassen, Christine M.; Haugen, Irene; Berg, Kristin; Barrett, Robert T.; Rimstad, Espen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      The epidemiology of avian influenza viruses (AIVs) in gulls is only partially known. The role of the world's most numerous gull species, the black-legged kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla), as a potential AIV reservoir species has been unclear. The prevalence of AIV and humoral response against AIV were therefore studied in a colony of apparently healthy black-legged kittiwakes breeding in a nesting cliff ...

    • Trans-Atlantic genetic uniformity in the rare snowbed sedge Carex rufina 

      Westergaard, Kristine; Alsos, Inger Greve; Engelskjøn, Torstein; Flatberg, Kjell Ivar; Brochmann, Christian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      The red-listed, amphi-Atlantic sedge Carex rufina is highly specialized to certain alpine snowbeds, and threatened by current changes in snow cover duration and moisture conditions. Here we address its range-wide genetic diversity, history, and conservation using amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs). Despite extensive primer testing, we detected very low overall diversity (4.1% polymorphic ...

    • Exitomelita sigynae gen. et sp. nov. : a new amphipod from the Arctic Loki Castle vent field with potential gill ectosymbionts 

      Tandberg, Anne Helene Solberg; Rapp, Hans Tore; Schander, Christoffer; Vader, Wim; Sweetman, Andrew Kvassnes; Berge, Jørgen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      The newly discovered deep-sea hydrothermal vent field “Loki’s Castle” at 2,350 m depth at 70°N on the Knipovich Ridge north of the island Jan Mayen is the only known black smoker field from the Arctic Ridge system. This vent field holds a unique fauna clearly distinct from vent sites along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge south of Iceland. In addition to numerous maldanid and ampharetid polychaetes one animal ...

    • Avipoxviruses : infection biology and their use as vaccine vectors 

      Weli, Simon Chioma; Tryland, Morten (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      Avipoxviruses (APVs) belong to the Chordopoxvirinae subfamily of the Poxviridae family. APVs are distributed worldwide and cause disease in domestic, pet and wild birds of many species. APVs are transmitted by aerosols and biting insects, particularly mosquitoes and arthropods and are usually named after the bird species from which they were originally isolated. The virus species Fowlpox virus (FWPV) ...

    • Orthopoxvirus DNA in Eurasian Lynx, Sweden 

      Tryland, Morten; Okeke, Malachy Ifeanyi; Hård af Segerstad, Carl; Mörner, Torsten; Traavik, Ingemar Terje; Ryser-Degiorgis, Marie-Pierre (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      Cowpox virus, which has been used to protect humans against smallpox but may cause severe disease in immunocompromised persons, has reemerged in humans, domestic cats, and other animal species in Europe. Orthopoxvirus (OPV) DNA was detected in tissues (lung, kidney, spleen) in 24 (9%) of 263 free-ranging Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) from Sweden. Thymidine kinase gene amplicon sequences (339 bp) from ...

    • Optimal foraging in chick-raising Common Guillemots (Uria aalge) 

      Bugge, Julie; Barrett, Robert T.; Pedersen, Torstein (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      The Norwegian population of the Common Guillemot Uria aalge has declined by > 95% since the 1960s, and is classified as critically endangered in the Norwegian Red List. Much of the recent decline has been attributed to reduced food availability, but without extensive documentation of adult diet. Instead, chick diet has been considered a proxy of adult diet during the breeding season in many Norwegian ...

    • Recent decline in body condition of departing Common Guillemots Uria aalge at Hornøya, North Norway 

      Barrett, Robert T. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2010)
      Since 1980, there has been large variation and a recent decline in the mass and body condition of Common Guillemot Uria aalge chicks departing from the nest site in NE Norway. This may be related to deterioration in the feeding conditions off the colony and is alarming considering the critically endangered status of the species in Norway. To measure body condition, earlier studies have caught, weighed ...

    • Fiskerbonden i Nord-Troms 1300-1700 : belyst ved tuftegravninger 

      Simonsen, Povl (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 1980)

      Bjerke, Jarle Werner; Nilsen, Kjersti Wannebo; Beck, Pieter S.A.; Tommervik, H (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2010)

    • FV 53 Kroken - Tønsnes, Tromsø kommune : rapport fra arkeologiske undersøkelser 2008 

      Finstad, Ingrid Marie; Grydeland, Sven Erik (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2009)

    • Tønsnes havn, Tromsø kommune, Troms : rapport fra arkeologiske utgravninger i 2008 og 2009 

      Skandfer, Marianne; Grydeland, Sven Erik; Henriksen, Siv; Nilsen, Roy Anders; Valen, Christian Roll (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2010)
      Utgravningene av totalt elleve lokaliteter på Skarpeneset i 2008, med et begrenset tillegg i 2009, avdekket overraskende fire store, rektangulære tufter, mer eller mindre nedgravde i bakken, på to av lokalitetene. Tuftene er datert samlet til 7000 – 6500/6400 f.Kr. Det foreslås at de er rester etter hus med parvis skråstilte, takbærende stolper, uten markerte ildsteder og med minst to åpninger/innganger. ...

      Hesjedal, Anders; Ramstad, Morten; Niemi, Anja Roth (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2009)

    • The moose throat bot fly Cephenemyia ulrichii larvae (Diptera: Oestridae) found developing in roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) for the first time 

      Isomursu, Marja; Nilssen, Arne C.; Oksanen, Antti (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008-06-02)
      About fifty larvae of Cephenemyia ulrichii Brauer (Diptera: Oestridae), some of them nearly fullgrown third instars, were found in the throat of a roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) in June 2007 near Helsinki in Finland. The parasite is considered to be host specific, occurring only in the moose (Alces alces), and this paper is apparently the first report of a successful infestation in an aberrant host.
