Sammen med Sverige, Danmark, Island og Finland konkurrerer Norge om topplasseringene i rangeringer av verdens beste samfunn (UNDP, 2022). Land som Canada, Japan og USA er også høyt oppe. I rangeringen for 2021 ligger Sveits på toppen med Norge som nummer to. De nordiske landene skiller seg ut som en sjelden kombinasjon av omfattende velferdsstatlige ordninger, små sosiale forskjeller og en ...

Hvordan iscenesettes kulturarv i et kvensk «kyläpeli»? Med utgangspunkt i den kvenske innvandringen til Raisi rettes fremstillingen mot fortid og kvensk kulturarv. Men dette knyttes til relasjoner mellom ulike etniske og sosiale grupper, mellom naturlige omgivelser og det overnaturlige og mellom steder og mennesker. Iscenesettelsen av kulturarv, fortelling og etnisk identitet åpner for dynamiske ...

Introduction - The role of molecular classification in patients with low/intermediate risk endometrial cancer (EC) is uncertain. Higher precision in diagnostics will inform the unsettled debate on optimal adjuvant treatment. We aimed to determine the association of molecular profiling with patterns of relapse and survival.<p> <p>Material and methods - This retrospective cohort study included ...

This article critically examines Nils Holtug’s contribution to the debate on social cohesion within liberal democratic societies, particularly in response to the challenges posed by increasing immigration-driven diversity. More specifically, it focuses on his utilization of the social capital framework to solve the “progressive’s dilemma”. As a solution to this dilemma, Holtug proposes the promotion ...

Environmental DNA (eDNA) has opened promising avenues for establishing standardized, cost-efficient monitoring of biodiversity. However, comprehensive and systematic implementation is urgently needed to address the current biodiversity crisis. Here, we envision a global eDNA biomonitoring scheme, which could potentially revolutionize the understanding and conservation of life on Earth.

A marine-derived Pleosporales fungus, Uzbekistanica storfjordensis, was isolated from driftwood and described as a new species. The fungus was cultivated in liquid media and a molecular networking-driven approach was used to identify potential new secondary metabolites. The targeted compounds were isolated using preparative HPLC-MS, and through extensive spectroscopic analysis, eight new ophiobolin-type ...

In the robonomic economic system many tourism and hospitality companies will be completely automated, and some of them may not even have any human employees. It means that we must rethink the way tourism attractions are created, the way tourism experiences are designed, and the practices of tourism and hospitality companies. We need to consider how to cater for tourists in ways that prove viable ...

<p>Understanding the influence of the Sun and space on the Earth's atmosphere is of current interest, as it may be valuable in the context of global climate change research. Polar Mesospheric Summer Echoes (PMSE) are phenomenona that rely on the presence of ice particles, offering insights into the mesosphere's temperature and water vapor content. This thesis aimed to investigate PMSE in the upper ...
