(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-26)Skolen legger føringer for undervisning om samisk historie, språk, kultur, samfunn og rettigheter. I denne artikkelen undersøker vi erfaringer med disse temaene gjennom intervjuer med lærere fra seks ulike skoler i Norge; tre i Nord-Norge og tre på Østlandet. Lærernes praksis påvirkes av samspillet mellom blant annet læreplaner, læremidler, stedstilhørighet og perspektivering. Disse kan forstås som ... -
A note on contributions concerning nonseparable spaces with respect to signal processing within Bayesian frameworks
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-17)In this paper, we discuss the study of some signal processing problems within Bayesian frameworks and semigroups theory, in the case where the Banach space under consideration may be nonseparable. For applications, the suggested approach may be of interest in situations where approximation in the norm of the space is not possible. We describe the idea for the case of the abstract Cauchy problem ... -
Negotiating trade-offs between the environment, sustainability and mass tourism amongst guides on Svalbard
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-18)This paper investigates how guides on Svalbard make sense of their relations to the environment whilst working with mass tourism. The Arctic is heating up more rapidly than any other part of the world, and over the last 30 years the effect of climate change has had a large impact on the environment in the Arctic. The guides as such find themselves living a paradox where their work destroys the ... -
Iridium(VII)-Corrole Terminal Carbides Should Exist as Stable Compounds
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-14)Scalar-relativistic DFT calculations with multiple exchangecorrelation functionals and large basis sets foreshadow the existence of stable iridium(VII)−corrole terminal carbide derivatives. For the parent compound Ir[Cor](C), OLYP/STO-TZ2P calculations predict a short Ir− C bond distance of 1.69 Å, a moderately domed macrocycle with no indications of ligand noninnocence, a surprisingly low ... -

Comprehensive uncertainty estimation of the timing of Greenland warmings in the Greenland ice core records
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-20)Paleoclimate proxy records have non-negligible uncertainties that arise from both the proxy measurement and the dating processes. Knowledge of the dating uncertainties is important for a rigorous propagation to further analyses, for example, for identification and dating of stadial– interstadial transitions in Greenland ice core records during glacial intervals, for comparing the variability in ... -
Refinements of some classical inequalities via superquadraticity
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-21)Some new refined versions of the Jensen, Minkowski, and Hardy inequalities are stated and proved. In particular, these results both generalize and unify several results of this type. Some results are also new for the classical situation. -
Self-reported mind wandering reflects executive control and selective attention
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-07)Mind wandering is ubiquitous in everyday life and has a pervasive and profound impact on task-related performance. A range of psychological processes have been proposed to underlie these performance-related decrements, including failures of executive control, volatile information processing, and shortcomings in selective attention to critical task-relevant stimuli. Despite progress in the development ... -
The polarisation of auroral emissions: A tracer of the E region ionospheric currents
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-20)It is now established that auroral emissions as measured from the ground are polarised. The question of the information given by this polarisation is still to be explored. This article shows the results of a coordinated campaign between an optical polarimeter and several ground-based instruments, including magnetometers, the EISCAT VHF radar, and complementary luminance meters in the visible ... -
Risk of obstetric anal sphincter injury associated with female genital mutilation/cutting and timing of deinfibulation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-09)Introduction: A greater risk of obstetric anal sphincter injury has been reported among African migrants in several host countries compared with the general population. To what degree female genital mutilation/cutting affects this risk is not clear. In infibulated women, deinfibulation prevents anal sphincter injury. Whether the timing of deinfibulation affects the risk, is unknown. This study ... -
Indigenous Sami Family Caregivers’ Experiences With Accessing and Collaborating With Municipal Health and Care Services
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-14)Previous research has indicated that Indigenous Sami families in Norway use public home-based care services less often than their non-Sami peers. Based on qualitative interviews with Sami family caregivers, we explore what they experience as barriers to accessing public care services for older adults living with dementia, and how they experience collaborating with care services providers. Through a ... -
Refugee-based Reasons in Refugee Resettlement – The Case of LGBTIQ+
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-28)This paper discusses a recent turn in the ethics of refugee resettlement which involves taking the interests of refugees themselves into account in the distribution of refugees among potential refugee receiving countries. It argues that there is an important category of interest that does not align with the two commonly held views on what is owed to refugees: ‘safety’ or ‘conditions of a good life’. ... -
What do I want to be? Predictors of communal occupational aspirations in early to middle childhood
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-07)Research investigating occupational aspirations in childhood is scarce. In addition, most research on occupational aspirations has focused on increasing the number of women in agentic jobs. In the present work, we investigate factors associated with communal occupational aspirations in two studies with young children (Study 1: 159 children [84 boys, 75 girls], Mage = 5.51 years, SD = 0.37; Study 2: ... -
