The Costly and Demanding: Exploring Solution-based Othering of Non-European Immigrants in Norwegian Policy Recommendations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-11-11)This article examines the Norwegian scholarly report titled <i>NOU 2017:2—Integration and Trust: Long-Term Consequences of High Immigration</i> (English translation; chapter 1.1) to unpack how ‘non-European immigrants’ are constructed as an economic and social challenge for the welfare state. Principles from discourse theory (DT) and the conceptual framework of othering are applied to discuss how ... -
Positional Differences in Peak- and Accumulated- Training Load Relative to Match Load in Elite Football
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-23)Quantification of training and match load is an important method to personalize the training stimulus’ prescription to players according to their match demands. The present study used time-motion analysis and triaxial-accelerometer to quantify and compare: a) The most demanding passages of play in training sessions and matches (5-min peaks); b) and the accumulated load of typical microcycles and ... -
Samisk nasjonaldag i skolen: Mellom feiring og markering

The case helps to understand the advantages and challenges of a single case study method in researching ... -
Mitigating degradation and emissions in China: The role of environmental sustainability, human capital and renewable energy
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-02-24)China's carbon-embedded growth trajectory is gradually becoming a burden to environmental sustainability, hence, requires much attention. The complexity of human capital attributed emissions coupled with fossil fuel inclined energy utilization for industrialization underscores the failure of China to meet its mitigation target. We developed a policy-driven conceptual tool based on disaggregate energy ... -
Technical demands across playing positions of the Asian Cup in male football
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-06-28)The aim of this study was to compare technical variables by playing positions in football during the 2015 Asian Cup. Top-level male football players (n = 202) that completed the full 90-min game were considered. Match-analysis data were collected using OPTA Sportsdata (www.optasports.com). Kruskal–Wallis H non-parametric test revealed that external midfielders (EM) scored more goals than fullbacks ... -
Local support among arctic residents to a land tenure reform in Finnmark, Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-11-22)Claims for indigenous rights to land and resources are influencing land use policies worldwide. The public’s support for such land tenure arrangements has rarely been investigated. We present a unique case from the Norwegian Arctic, where land claims made by the indigenous Sami people have resulted in the transfer of land tenure and resource management from the government to the residents of Finnmark ... -
Networks, asymmetries and appropriations: Towards a typology
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-24)This article, a revised version of Tore Rem’s keynote lecture at the XIVth International Ibsen Conference in Skien on 5–8 September 2018, draws on pp. 140–174 in Narve Fulsås and Tore Rem, <i>Ibsen, Scandinavia and the Making of a World Drama</i> (Cambridge: Cambridge U.P., 2018). This version expands on the theoretical-analytical framework of our suggested typology. -
Numerical study on the ventilation performance of a livestock house built in porous panels in Cold Regions
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-11)This paper presents a numerical prediction on the assessment of natural ventilation on a livestock house built in porous panels, aided by Computational Fluid Dynamics techniques. A typical climatic environment in Cold Regions was taken into consideration. The ventilation performances have been assessed by the distribution of indoor air velocity, turbulence intensity and local mean age of air through ... -
Spectral Decomposition and Extremes of Atmospheric Meridional Energy Transport in the Northern Hemisphere Midlatitudes
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-03)The atmospheric meridional energy transport in the Northern Hemisphere midlatitudes is mainly accomplished by planetary and synoptic waves. A decomposition into wave components highlights the strong seasonal dependence of the transport, with both the total transport and the contributions from planetary and synoptic waves peaking in winter. In both winter and summer months, poleward transport extremes ... -
Rethinking knowledge graph propagation for zero-shot learning
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019)Graph convolutional neural networks have recently shown great potential for the task of zero-shot learning. These models are highly sample efficient as related concepts in the graph structure share statistical strength allowing generalization to new classes when faced with a lack of data. However, multi-layer architectures, which are required to propagate knowledge to distant nodes in the graph, ... -

Acute tissue injuries in gills, eyes, brain and possible also nasal cavity and thymus were seen in salmon exposed to water ... -
Studiesentret som voksenlæringsarena. Hvordan ser ulike interessenter på Forsvarets studiesenter som voksenlæringsarena?
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2007-05)Forsvarets studiesenter (FS) ble etablert som "Studiesenteret i Heggelia" i 1989 i et samarbeidsprosjekt mellom tre kommuner i Midt-Troms og Troms Landforsvar. Senere ble det en permanent forsvarsinstitusjon med vekslende organisatorisk tilhørighet. I dette prosjektet belyses og analyseres hva interessentene mener om studiesentrets rolle som voksenlæringsarena atten år senere. Problemformuleringen ... -
Chip-Based Resonance Raman Spectroscopy Using Tantalum Pentoxide Waveguides
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-08)Blood analysis is an important diagnostic tool, as it provides a wealth of information about the patient's health. Raman spectroscopy is a promising tool for blood analysis, but widespread clinical application is limited by its low signal strength, as well as complex and costly instrumentation. The growing field of waveguide-based Raman spectroscopy tries to solve these challenges by working toward ... -
The distribution of syneresis and dieresis in contemporary French: Testing a methodological tool to identify patterns across varieties
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2020-02)In French, the close vowels [i, y, u] are subject to alternation with the glides [j, ɥ, w] in given contexts, e.g. [myɛt] ∼ [mɥɛt] ‘muteFEM’ and [sye] ∼ [sɥe] ‘sweatINF’. Factors that have proven decisive for the selection of a variant are e.g. the inherent sonority of the vowel, its position in the word, and its left segmental context (see e.g. Côté, 2018; Klein, 1991; Lyche, 1979). Also, the ...
