This paper 1) argues for the inclusion of a phenomenological form of academic textual evidence, 2) makes a case for James Moffett's abstraction ladder for teaching and learning, and 3) provides concrete examples of the abstraction ladder both as inspiration for practical application by teachers and to demonstrate how it may be used to broaden academic written discourse. These three aims are ...

I artikkelen utforsker jeg hvordan arbeidstakere med utviklingshemming opplever arbeidsvilkår og medvirkning i VTA-tiltak (varig tilrettelagt arbeid) på ordinær arbeidsplass. Arbeidstakerne opplever utfordringer med å finne arbeidsoppgaver, og noen opplever lave forventninger fra ledelsen. De beskriver å ha noe medvirkning, men at det stilles få krav til dem. Vilkårene de tilbys som arbeidstakere, ...

During the 16th and 17th centuries, the very first Arctic explorations took place. The maps from that age not only express the mathematical and scientific knowledge of the time, they are also artistic artefacts with a rich symbolic language. Maps are often adorned with illustrations of indigenous peoples, exotic animals and mythological creatures, reflecting the mystique surrounding the Arctic.

Background: Age-friendly environments intend to promote active ageing by facilitating social, mental, and physical participation. This could potentially delay the onset of chronic complex conditions, enabling people to live longer independently at home, and prevent loneliness. This study investigates a community-based living environment in Norway called Helgetun and aims to explore how it can ...

Background: Shaft fractures of the femur are commonly treated with intramedullary nailing, which can release bone marrow emboli into the bloodstream. Emboli can travel to the lungs, impairing gas exchange and causing inflammation. Occasionally, emboli traverse from the pulmonary to the systemic circulation, hindering perfusion and resulting in injuries such as heart and brain infarctions, known ...

Mercury (Hg) is a heterogeneously distributed toxicant affecting wildlife and human health. Yet, the spatial distribution of Hg remains poorly documented, especially in food webs, even though this knowledge is essential to assess large-scale risk of toxicity for the biota and human populations. Here, we used seabirds to assess, at an unprecedented population and geographic magnitude and high resolution, ...

Background Fee-for-service is a common payment model for remunerating general practitioners (GPs) in OECD countries. In Norway, GPs earn two-thirds of their income through fee-for-service, which is determined by the number of consultations and procedures they register as fees. In general, fee-for-service incentivises many and short consultations and is associated with high service provision. GPs ...

Lentic waterbodies provide terrestrial sedimentary archives of palaeoenvironmental change in deglaciated areas of the Antarctic. Knowledge of the long-term evolution of Antarctic palaeoenvironments affords important context to the current marked impacts of climate change in the Polar regions. Here, we present a comprehensively dated, multi-proxy sedimentary record from Monolith Lake, a distal ...

The aim of this study is to assess this relationship in a large population-based sample.<p> <p>Methods ‒ We included 5,753 participants (aged 40–84 years) from the seventh wave of the population-based Tromsø Study who had been examined with cognitive tests and experimental pain assessments, and for whom informa tion on covariates were available. Cox regression models were fitted using standardized ...

Tørking av fisk ute på hjell er en tradisjonell og mye brukt metode for konservering av fisk. Kvaliteten på sluttproduktet blir i stor grad avhengig av værforhold under tørking og kvaliteten på råstoffet som henges. Når fisken tørkes ute blir den utsatt for variasjon i temperatur, vind, sol og fuktighet. Til sammen gir dette en tørket og modnet fisk som har karakteristisk lukt, smak og konsistens. ...
