Interactive governance of small-scale fisheries and aquaculture: Transdisciplinary challenges of community involvement
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2018-10)Successful fisheries governance requires stakeholder’s involvement from point zero. However, it is usually hard to achieve this, especially if the stakeholders have significantly different interests, knowledge and power. In this regard, authors in this field expect that a fisheries governance that entails sharing management responsibilities between the authorities and the resource users i.e. ... -
Emotions and community development after return migration in the rural Arctic
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2020-10-18)Migration is emotive, evoking feelings of hopelessness, fear, or optimism for human and economic development, yet the role of emotions in post-migration community development gains limited attention. This chapter discusses the role of emotions in migration and rural development after the return of migrants, drawing on studies of temporary labour migration from Teriberka, a small coastal village in ... -
Effectiveness of interventions to reduce homelessness. A systematic review
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2016-01)Despite work to prevent and reduce homelessness over the last 15 years, the number of homeless persons in Norway has remained stable since the first mapping of homelessness was published in 1997. We conducted a systematic review on the effectiveness of housing programs and case management to improve housing stability and reduce homelessness among people who are homeless or at-risk of ... -

From above and standing atop- two views of Norwegian fjord ice
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2020-10)In O’Sadnick et al. (2020), estimations of ice extent along the coast of Norway since 2001 determined from MODIS imagery are presented. From our findings, it is evident that the amount of ice in one fjord over time often varies and shows little consistency leading to the next question of ‘Why’? The study continues to relate freezing degree days, rainfall plus snowmelt, and snowfall to values of ... -
Efficacy and safety of intraarticular corticosteroid injections in adolescents with juvenile idiopathic arthritis in the temporomandibular joint: A Norwegian 2-year prospective multicenter pilot study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-01)<p><i>Background - </i>Intraarticular corticosteroids (IACs) have been used to treat temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthritis. However, prospective clinical studies with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scoring are lacking. The aim of this study was to examine efficacy and safety of a single IAC in the TMJ in adolescents with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) in a clinical setting. <p><i>Methods ... -
Methane transport and sources in an Arctic deep-water cold seep offshore NW Svalbard (Vestnesa Ridge, 79°N)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-29)We investigate the uppermost 60 cm of sediment in active pockmarks of a deep-water methane seep site from Vestnesa Ridge offshore NW Svalbard. Using video guided core sampling with a remotely operated vehicle we collected push cores directly from bacterial mats within two active pockmarks, Lunde and Lomvi. Pore water analyses show very shallow sulphate methane transition zones and transport-reaction ... -
Generalized eigenvalue methods for Gaussian quadrature rules
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)A quadrature rule of a measure <i>µ</i> on the real line represents a conic combination of finitely many evaluations at points, called nodes, that agrees with integration against <i>µ</i> for all polynomials up to some fixed degree. In this paper, we present a bivariate polynomial whose roots parametrize the nodes of minimal quadrature rules for measures on the real line. We give two symmetric ... -
Structural insights of the enzymes from the chitin utilization locus of Flavobacterium johnsoniae
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-13)Chitin is one of the most abundant renewable organic materials found on earth. The chitin utilization locus in <i>Flavobacterium johnsoniae</i>, which encodes necessary proteins for complete enzymatic depolymerization of crystalline chitin, has recently been characterized but no detailed structural information on the enzymes was provided. Here we present protein structures of the <i>F. johnsoniae</i> ... -
Green Buildings in the Arctic region: a literature review
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-30)Green Buildings are defined as environmental-friendly buildings aimed at minimizing the impact on the natural environment through a sustainable and efficient use of resources over their life-cycle. This is, perhaps, a recently-introduced building concept that is increasingly gaining attention due to the policies and strategies intended to reduce the carbon footprint of conventional buildings, which ... -
Institution-based roots to fishing vessels profitability
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-05)In fisheries, formal institutions are intentionally implemented to protect the stock of fish and to better adjust the fleet’s catch capacity to the resource base. The present study, however, explores how the same institutions also influence competitive forces that shape industry attractiveness and the profitability of fishing boats. The empirical context is a sample of Norwegian seagoing purse seiners ... -

Furthermore, to study longitudinal changes in body weight and waist circumference from Tromsø 6 to Tromsø 7.<p> <p><i>Setting</i> - A population study in Tromsø, ... -
Sedimentology of Late Precambrian storm-influenced pro-deltaic successions: Varanger, eastern Finnmark
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-09-15)This study investigates the sedimentology of the Klubbnasen and Andersby formations of the Late Precambrian (Neoproterozoic) succession in Varanger, eastern Finnmark. Additionally, the lower parts of the Fugleberget and Paddeby formations overlying the Klubbnasen and Andersby formations, respectively, were superficially investigated in order to provide stratigraphic context. The investigated formations ... -
Rommet for selvstendig rettsvernshevd i norsk rett. En analyse av reglens rettslige grunnlag, innhold og eksistens
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-06-01)Etter Høyesteretts avgjørelse i HR-2017-33-A har det reist seg tvil om hvorvidt regelen om selvstendig rettsvernshevds eksistens og innhold. Avhandlingen drøfter hvilket utgangspunkt som kan oppstilles for regelen, med utgangspunkt i den etablerte underrettspraksis som foreligger, og Høyesteretts premisser i Forusstranda. -
Killer whales are attracted to herring fishing vessels
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-15)Marine mammals and fisheries often target the same resources, which can lead to operational interactions. Potential consequences of operational interaction include entanglements and damaged or reduced catches but also enhanced foraging opportunities, which can attract marine mammals to fishing vessels. Responsible fisheries management therefore requires detailed knowledge of the impact of these ... -
Krigshistoriens livsløp: Samspillet, konkurransene og kampene om iscenesettelsen av Nord-Norges krigshistorie
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2020-12-10)Nordnorske aktører fremsetter med jevne mellomrom sterke påstander om at regionens krigshistorie har krav på større oppmerksomhet og anerkjennelse. De hevder blant annet at kampene ved Narvik og tvangsevakueringen av Finnmark er fortiet eller underkommunisert. Ikke sjelden fremstilles norske myndigheter som ansvarlige for en nasjonal fortelling som angivelig har skyggelagt de nordnorske krigshendelsene. ... -
