At the beginning of the 20th century, it was admitted that our atmosphere could not extend beyond a few tens of kilometres. Shortly after the midst of that same century, it was understood that the Earth is surrounded by a complex and rich plasma environment, conditioned by solar activity, extending over several tens of thousands of kilometres. Today, we know that our planet’s boundaries extend far ...

<p>Arbeidet med Lundearkivet er et langdistanseløp som krever kompetanse utover det Universitetsbiblioteket (UB) selv har. Samarbeid med Knut Lundes etterkommere, dialog med forskere og veiledning fra Arkiv Troms, Statsarkivet i Tromsø, Samisk Arkiv og ikke minst konsulent Haarek Helberg, har fått arbeidet i gode spor. Avgjørende for resultatet er dyktige og engasjerte prosjektledere: Henning Hansen ...

The frozen elements of the high North are thawing as the region warms much faster than the global mean. The dangers of sea level rise due to melting glacier ice, increased concentrations of greenhouse gases from thawing permafrost, and alterations in the key high latitude physical systems spurred many authors, and more recently international agencies and supra-state actors, to investigate “emergency ...

This report describes the landscape of institutional publishing in Europe, based on a process of collecting information from the organisations active in institutional publishing in the ERA. It is not a research report and is primarily intended to serve as a resource for the ensuing work packages in the DIAMAS project. This Landscape Report should therefore not be considered as an end product. ...

Pigghå er en datafattig og rødlistet art som historisk har gitt grunnlag for et stort fiskeri med årlige landinger på mer enn 40 000 tonn i mer enn 40 år. Etter langvarig overfiske og etterfølgende bestandssammenbrudd har det nå i en del år vært tegn til vekst i bestanden. I 2020, Måløy videregående skole, som eier en atuolinebåt, tok kontakt med Havforskningsinstituttet og presenterte et ønske om ...

The oil and gas industry is a complex industry with many stakeholders, risks, and monetary values involved. The supply chain of oil and gas companies is an aspect of oil and gas companies that has developed without major optimization measures along the way – it has simply had activities and concepts added as they have come along. One such activity in the supply chain in need of optimization is ...

The ecological and evolutionary consequences of ploidy-driven trait variation, particularly for autopolyploids, remain poorly understood. <i>Saxifraga oppositifolia</i> L. (purple saxifrage), is a highly successful arctic-alpine plant species with significant genetic and phenotypic variation potentially related to autopolyploidy. Over the past decade, we have accumulated knowledge of <i>S. ...

Aim - This study explored Australian nursing, midwifery and social work perspectives on needs within pre-service education to enable interprofessional public health responses to child maltreatment.<p> <p>Background - Child maltreatment is a global public health concern, but little is known about how well health and welfare professionals are equipped for interprofessional responses to child ...

We are on the verge of a revolution in public sector decision-making processes, where computers will take over many of the governance tasks previously assigned to human bureaucrats. Governance decisions based on algorithmic information processing are increasing in numbers and scope, contributing to decisions that impact the lives of individual citizens. While significant attention in the recent few ...

Explainable AI (XAI) has unfolded in two distinct research directions with, on the one hand, post-hoc methods that explain the predictions of a pre-trained black-box model and, on the other hand, self-explainable models (SEMs) which are trained directly to provide explanations alongside their predictions. While the latter is preferred in safety-critical scenarios, post-hoc approaches have received ...
