Artikkelen bygger på en forskningsbasert evaluering av prosjektet Y-veinord, som er et samarbeidsprosjekt mellom petroleumsnæringen, Høgskolen i Narvik og UiT Norges arktiske universitet. Prosjektet har som målsetting å sikre tilgang til kompetanse for petroleumsnæringen og også øvrig næringsliv i Nord-Norge. «Y-veien» er en betegnelse for høyere utdanning på bachelornivå som er åpen for søkere ...

Lakes and wetlands, common ecosystems of the high northern latitudes, exchange large amounts of the climate-forcing gases methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) with the atmosphere. The magnitudes of these fluxes and the processes driving them are still uncertain, particularly for subarctic and Arctic lakes where direct measurements of CH4 and CO2 emissions are often of low temporal resolution and ...

Arctic sea ice is diminishing with climate warming at a rate unmatched for at least 1,000 years. As the receding ice pack raises commercial interest in the Arctic, it has become more variable and mobile, which increases safety risks to maritime users. Satellite observations of sea-ice thickness are currently unavailable during the crucial melt period from May to September, when they would be most ...

Introduction - In the spring of 2014, there was an outbreak of Yersinia enterocolitica (YE) gastroenteritis in four Norwegian military camps—the largest outbreak ever reported in Norway. YE is usually transmitted via food, and the gastrointestinal disease caused by the bacterium is considered a public health problem in several countries. Common symptoms of YE gastroenteritis are abdominal pain, ...

This article discusses methodological aspects of an ongoing research project on Kven worldings. The work is inspired by Donna Haraway’s perspectives on situated research. A metalogue, where the authors share reflections and discuss their maneuvers as researchers, makes visible some of the ontological and epistemological troubles the researchers are facing related to the philosophical research approach, ...

Jeg har gjennomført 11 kvalitative forskningsintervju med seks barn i alderen 7-11 år. Tema har vært barnas deltakelse i egen barnevernssak. I intervjuene har jeg brukt elementer fra den dialogiske barnesamtalen ( DCM). Intervjuene er analysert og tolket ut fra ulike teoretiske perspektiver på deltakelse. Barna omtaler sin kontaktperson og sin deltakelse i møter i positive ordelag. Dette til tross ...

Artikkelen fokuserer på de yngste barnas læringsprosesser gjennom deres involvering og engasjement med sosiale og fysiske omgivelser i barnehagen. Det løftes fram hvordan barnekropper i bevegelse er kilde for erkjennelse og læring. Som utgangspunkt for analysen har vi valgt to eksempler fra barns aktivitet i barnehagens uteområde. Forsker har vært tilstede som deltakende observatør, og inngått som ...

Working within a family language policy (FLP) framework, we draw on sociolinguistic data from semi-structured interviews with eighteen mothers to understand how parental beliefs, their ...
