Remarks at the opening of a workshop, sponsored by the U.S. National Science Foundation, and held in Oslo, Norway, from 12-13 May 2015, to discuss the historic place names of the High Arctic archipelago of Franz Josef Land. The visiting students from Penn State University, none of whom had ever before been to Europe, were anxious to hear how Dr. Barr, a native of the United Kingdom, had come to Norway and made a life for herself in a different country with a different language, as a female in a then-largely male universe of polar research, and, in a nation of hunters, as a vegetarian.

Effective management of the urban forest calls for municipalities to have a tree inventory of their urban resource. The approach to urban forestry is rather different in Europe and North America, both in terms of background and culture. This contribution discusses similarities and differences in tree inventory practices, based on a pilot study of three major cities in North America (Toronto, Ontario, Canada; and Boston, Massachusetts and New York City, New York, U.S.) and three major cities in Northern Europe (Oslo, Norway; and Aarhus and Copenhagen, Denmark). The pilot study consisted of semi-structured expert interviews in each city, and an analysis of their tree inventories in terms of their level of detail, how they were undertaken, and how they have been used. Each of the cities, with exception of Oslo, had inventoried all of their street trees. Volunteers were only used in Boston and New York City. None of the cities had developed a management plan based on their tree inventory. The inventory had only been completely incorporated into the work order system in New York City and Toronto. This explorative study shows that more research is needed to investigate what subsequently happens to tree inventories in municipalities after they have been performed. Moreover, more work is needed to identify whether inventories are being utilized to their full advantage in terms of producing management plans. Some key themes for further research are described. The set up of this pilot study could serve as a format for comprehensive research.

Texto completoResumen
ABSTRACT This article describes a probabilistic site-response analysis for the city of Oslo, Norway. We first perform a probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) for hard rock. Then, we conduct site-response analyses using Monte Carlo simulations to capture uncertainty in the site profile. We include four base-case soil profiles to incorporate epistemic uncertainty, and we vary the shear-wave velocity profile and shear-modulus reduction and damping curves to account for aleatory variability. We base the soil profiles on over 7000 in situ tests, and the shear-wave velocity profile median, standard deviation, and interlayer correlation on over 559 cone penetration tests. Next, we perform regression analyses to estimate medians and standard deviations of site-specific amplification factors (AFs). Finally, we modify the ground-motion models for rock with the AFs and recompute the PSHA for the soil surface. The analyses show that (1) shallower soil profiles have larger uniform hazard spectra (UHS) values at short periods and smaller UHS values at long periods; (2) epistemic uncertainty of the base-case soil shear-wave velocity profile leads to alternative UHS values with a difference of a factor of 2 at short periods; (3) there is only a small difference in the mean magnitudes and distances controlling the hazard for the PSHA conducted for rock compared to soil; (4) response spectra calculated from site-response analyses with no aleatory variability of the soil properties predict significantly smaller spectral acceleration values at periods shorter than the natural site period; (5) using site amplification standard deviations based on ground-motion recordings, instead of site-response analyses, results in a 10%–20% reduction in the soil surface UHS at short periods and a 5%–10% increase at long periods; and (6) the Eurocode 8 AFs are, in general, conservative for Oslo.

Malovic, Ivana, Marte J. Søyland, Tarjei F. Werner, Nikolai Vågnes y Therese Skagen. "A fun and informative Open Access event?" Septentrio Conference Series, n.º 3 (4 de marzo de 2020). http://dx.doi.org/10.7557/5.5371.
Texto completoResumen
Introduction The Norwegian research council supports the European cOAlition S, demanding that all scientific articles from the research they finance is openly available from 01.01.20211. Since 2013 the University of Oslo have mandatory institutional archiving of all peer reviewed articles in post-print version (after peer review)2. In 2019 several “publish and read” agreements were established between different publishers and the Norwegian higher education sector, enabling article processing charges to be paid by Norwegian universities and research institutions3.
New agreements and changing regulations might be difficult to grasp by students, faculty and library employees. Aim is to test out basic knowledge about Open Access (OA) among beforementioned groups through a short, fun and informative OA event, while asking: Can a board game help promote Open Access?
Method Choosing an existing OA board game was done based on the following considerations: it must have a recognizable concept and simple rules, be easy to administer, and not be too time consuming. Our choice is “The Game of Open Access”, a game produced by McGuinn and Spikin at University of Huddersfield, UK4. Modification of questions and answers to better fit a Norwegian context and publishing rules at the University of Oslo was essential. After testing of the game between us, minor alterations to the playing rules were added. Just as in the original game, for each correctly answered question, a participant keeps a card. After completing a round, the player gets a token representing a single published article, and then continues the game. The game is finished after all questions are answered correctly. The winner is the participant with the most points. Each card is worth three points and each token one point. These small modifications make the game more balanced and all participants equally involved.
Before playing the game, a short (five minutes) introduction to OA in Norway with presentation of infographics is given. After the game, an evaluation form is administrated among all participants as an online questionnaire. Gameplaying time is approximately 30 minutes, which makes the game perfect for shorter events.
Results Result from the evaluation form administered to librarians, students and faculty will be collected in the period September 2019-April 2020, in a range of different events. The first findings show that players are satisfied with board game content and questions, but they also suggest certain improvements
Discussion Can a board game learning activity taking place outside of the ordinary library instructional courses for students and faculty at the University be an asset spreading awareness about Open Access? Does library staff have the basic understanding of the topic, or is further training needed?

Texto completoResumen
AbstractFrom the mid-1800s to the late 1960s, conservation by alum salts (KAl(SO4)2·12H2O—potassium aluminium sulphate), using various recipes, was a common method to prevent shrinkage and to strengthen waterlogged archaeological wooden objects. This method was mainly used in Scandinavia. The alum method appears to have also been applied to highly degraded archaeological waterlogged wood in other countries, for example in the U.S and Germany. Today, many of the archaeological wooden objects treated with alum show extreme deterioration and very low pH, which are attributed to the effects of the alum-treatment. This study investigated the extent of the current levels of chemical degradation in wooden objects conserved with alum salts at different points in time (1880s, 1930s and 1905–13) in order to understand their current condition and whether extent of degradation was in any way related to time of treatment, in an attempt to understand the rate of degradation. It was also an opportunity to compare the chemical state of preservation of alum-treated wood from different collections, as only the Oseberg collection has been intensively studied in this way up until now. Samples from historical wooden objects from the following collections were investigated and compared: the Dejbjerg collection (National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen); the Oseberg collection (Museum of Cultural History, Oslo, Norway); the Glimmingehus collection (Swedish History Museum, Sweden). Analyses of lignocellulosic polymers and of inorganic compounds were undertaken to evaluate the chemical preservation of the wooden objects. The investigations were performed using a multi-analytical approach which consisted of: pH measurements, analytical pyrolysis (Py-GC/MS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM–EDS). It was possible to link the extent of degradation with time, on a general level but we found a great variability in the state of preservation of the wood also within the same collection. It is clear, however that alum-treated wood is more degraded than archaeological wood not treated with alum.

This project aims to monitor and quantify intra-cardiac pressures via contrast-enhanced subharmonic imaging. We have proposed subharmonic aided pressure estimation (SHAPE; U.S. Patent 6,302,845) utilizing microbubble-based contrast agent signals for the noninvasive estimation of hydrostatic blood pressures in the heart cavities and in this study implemented real-time SHAPE on a commercial US scanner. An experimental pulse-echo system for SHAPE was constructed based on two single element transducers assembled confocally at a 60° angle to each other. A transducer with a bandwidth of 38% and a center frequency of 2.2 MHz (Staveley, East Hartford, CT) was used as the transmitter and a second transducer with a bandwidth of 86% and a center frequency of 3.6 MHz (Etalon Inc., Lebanon, IN) was the receiver. Changes in first, second, and subharmonic amplitudes of 6 different US contrast agents were measured in vitro at hydrostatic pressures from 0 –186 mmHg, acoustic pressures from 0.35– 0.60 MPa and frequencies of 2.5– 6.6 MHz. The optimal parameters for SHAPE were determined using linear regression analysis and implemented on a Sonix RP scanner (Ultrasonix Medical Corp, Richmond, Canada). The real-time implementation of SHAPE was tested in vitro. Over the pressure range studied the 1st and 2nd harmonic amplitudes reduced ~2 dB for all US contrast agents. Over the same pressure range, the subharmonic amplitudes decreased by 10 –14 dB and excellent linear regressions were achieved with the hydrostatic pressure variations (r 2 >0.98, p < 0.001). The optimal sensitivity for SHAPE was achieved at a transmit frequency of 2.5 MHz (i.e., receiving at 1.25 MHz) at a 0.35 MPa acoustic pressure using Sonazoid (GE Healthcare, Oslo, Norway) which declined ~14.4 dB in vitro. A Sonix RP scanner was modified to implement SHAPE on a phased array transducer PA4 –2 with a frequency range from 1.5– 4.5 MHz. A pulse inversion technique was used and the subharmonic signals are displayed in real-time and can also be stored for off-line analysis. SHAPE offers the possibility of allowing pressure gradients in the heart to be obtained noninvasively. Future studies will include in vivo pressure measurements. Supported by AHA grant no 06554414 and NIH HL081892. This research has received full or partial funding support from the American Heart Association, AHA Great Rivers Affiliate (Delaware, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania & West Virginia).

Denmark and Norway joined NATO in 1949. Since then, their goal has been to be a loyal alliance member. After the cold war, the two countries e transformed their defence forces into small, capabilities-based semi-professional and highly mobile units suitable for coalition warfare far away from their territories. They have participated in all major US- and NATO-led operations since 1991. The defence transformation since the end of the cold war has been more far-reaching in Denmark than in Norway. Norway kept the focus on its territory during the whole period, and saved important elements of its territorial defence, while Denmark shut down whole services, such as submarines and stationary ground-to-air defence, which in some ways became a problem after the Ukraine crisis started in 2014, when the defence of the territory again came more into focus.

Texto completoResumen
Through the 1940s and 1950s, PAGON (Progressive Architects Group Oslo Norway) was an alliance of young CIAM-affiliated Norwegian architects known for their innovative joint projects. As a group, PAGON went on to become largely overlooked in the history of modern architecture, even though its individual members – which included Sverre Fehn, Jørn Utzon, Arne Korsmo, and Christian Norberg-Schulz – became defining figures in Scandinavian and international modernism. This book tells the story of PAGON for the first time, offering a definitive account of the group’s projects, buildings, and approach, and demonstrating why PAGON’s projects are ripe for reappraisal in the international history of modern architecture. It shows how PAGON’s architecture constitutes a unique continuity between the Scandinavian functionalism of the late 1930s and the modern movement in the US, and an important transitional stage before the emergence of the better-known neo-avant-garde groups within CIAM and Team 10. Published as part of the Bloomsbury Studies in Modern Architecture series, which brings to light the work of significant yet overlooked modernist architects, this book fills a gap in our understanding of mid-century modern architecture and highlights the internationally diverse nature of the modern movement.

Texto completoResumen
A social scientist with global affiliations, among others with Columbia University in New York, University of Oslo in Norway, and La Maison des Sciences de l'Homme in Paris, Lindner takes us across history and into nations worldwide to show how emotion spurs hierarchies of domination and therefore causes subjugation, human rights violations, abuse, conflict, and fighting. She spotlights results ranging from the binding and subsequent deforming of Chinese women's feet, to periods of slavery, bondage, feudalism, apartheid, and other events across time. Related actions from political domination internationally, to spousal or child abuse on the homefront are addressed. Lindner looks at how widely divergent societies—from the Japan of Samurais to the Meso America of Aztecs, up to the modern Iraq at war—are driven by hierarchies of emotionally-fueled control with rigid domination. Combining classic literature with emerging research, Lindner explains how similar dynamics are at work also in contemporary societies of the West, albeit more covert. What is still lacking, almost everywhere, is access to the full range of our emotions, together with the skills to regulate these emotions so that they become a liberating force in our lives, play a constructive role for productive, fair, and so-called "good conflict," and inform our institution building. Lindner concludes her book by laying out a road map for how to reduce domination and increase human dignity, both in our lives and in the world, by using the power of emotion to implement global systemic change.

Henrik Ibsen’s dramatic oeuvre opens with a handful of historical plays, located in ancient Rome as well as a grand, almost mythological past in Norway. Hedda Gabler, however, presents us with an impatient, existentially dissatisfied, and restless female protagonist who fails actively to connect to the past and live out and carry on her family traditions. We also encounter the male protagonists of Jørgen Tesman and Eilert Løvborg. These are two historians with opposing attitudes to the nature, worth, and relevance of their work. With reference to the Nietzcheanism that prevailed in Scandinavia at the time, this chapter explores the various attitudes to scholarship, history, and life that are being staged in Hedda Gabler.

This innovative study offers an up-to-date analysis of the archaeology of the North Sea. Robert Van de Noort traces the way people engaged with the North Sea from the end of the last ice age, around 10,000 BC, to the close of the Middle Ages, about AD 1500. Van de Noort draws upon archaeological research from many countries, including the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Belgium and France, and addresses topics which include the first interactions of people with the emerging North Sea, the origin and development of fishing, the creation of coastal landscapes, the importance of islands and archipelagos, the development of seafaring ships and their use by early seafarers and pirates, and the treatments of boats and ships at the end of their useful lives.

Texto completoResumen
This groundbreaking book breaks with established canons and resists some of the stereotypes of feminist biblical studies. A wide range of contributors—from the Netherlands, Germany, Norway, East Africa, South Africa, Argentina, Israel, Hong Kong, the US, the UK, and Iran—showcase new methodological and theoretical movements such as feminist materialisms; intersectionality; postidentitarian ?nomadic? politics; gender archaeology; lived religion; and theories of the human and the posthuman. They engage a range of social and political issues, including migration and xenophobia; divorce and family law; abortion; ?pinkwashing?; the neoliberal university; the second amendment; AIDS and sexual trafficking; Tianamen Square and 9/11; and the politics of ?the veil?. Foundational figures in feminist biblical studies work alongside new voices and contributors from a range of disciplines in conversations with the Bible that go well beyond the expected canon-within-the-canon assumed to be of interest to feminist biblical scholars. Moving beyond the limits of a text-orientated model of reading, they look at how biblical texts were actualized in the lives of religious revolutionaries, such as Joanna Southcott and Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. In important interventions—made all the more urgent in the context of the Trump presidency and Brexit—they make biblical traditions speak to gun legislation, immigration, the politics of abortion, and Roe v. Wade.

Texto completoResumen
This chapter provides a survey of four types of party organizational resources in the PPDB: members, money, staff, and territorial units. Findings include that around 3 per cent of voters now join political parties across the democratic world; that German and Spanish parties seem to be the richest in terms of absolute levels of funding, but parties in countries such as Austria and Norway are even stronger relative to the size of their economies or electorates; that party staffing levels are generally quite modest; and that countries where there is an emphasis on what is local tend to have the highest relative concentrations of party branches. Moreover, country differences consistently seem to outweigh party family differences in explaining variation in party organizational resources. The chapter concludes by proposing a composite index of party strength which enables us to construct a rank-ordering of 112 parties according to their overall organizational strength.

This chapter reviews the book To the Gates of Jerusalem: The Diaries and Papers of James G. McDonald, 1945–1947 (2015), edited by Norman J.W. Goda, Barbara McDonald Stewart, Severin Hochberg, and Richard Breitman. To the Gates of Jerusalem examines the origins, deliberations, and final report of the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry Regarding the Problems of European Jewry and Palestine. The committee, of which U.S. diplomat James G. McDonald was a member, was created in November 1945 by the British Labour government and the Truman administration to address the humanitarian problem faced after World War II by Jews who survived the Holocaust. The diaries deal solely with this humanitarian plight and discuss only British and American policies. They reflect McDonald’s staunch support for the cause of the Holocaust survivors.

This work has followed but also departed from Aristotle in several ways. It adopts his method, which combines theory and the test of experience. Introspection confirms the badness of suffering. He sees that it is best for us to develop the powers we have as children, by educating our emotions and reason. Although he over-intellectualizes moral life and ignores childhood well-being, he recognizes that well-being has a temporal component. He also recognizes that the moral virtues make well-being available to all normal adults, and that there is more good in a complete human life than any number of years of humdrum existence.

Texto completoResumen
This is the central chapter in the book. It describes and defends display theory, a theory of attitude attribution according to which the words in the complement put concepts on display rather than using them in the normal attributive way. Attributions are true if the displayed concepts match the concepts subjects exercise in their intentional states. Display theory explains various features of intensionality. For example, there is no reason why a displayed concept in a true attribution need be true of some real entity: all that matters is whether the subject exercised it, not what, if anything, it refers to. A use of superscripts is developed which enables us to state with precision different ways in which attitude attributions can be true. The theory is extended to apply to non-conceptual intentional states.

AbstractIn this education research-oriented chapter, we present the findings from student and stakeholder co-produced visions, hindering and supporting forces and proposed action steps for urban agriculture initiatives in Oslo, Norway. Students in agroecology conducted participatory visioning workshops with initiatives in 2018 and 2019 and wrote reports based on these workshops. In our analysis of these reports, we found that the key characteristics of the visions could be categorized in terms of social, nature, and governance. Collaboration, lack of funds and time and other initiative-specific forces were common challenges to achieving the vision. Strong political support and increased interest in urban agriculture emerged as forces supporting the future visions. The proposed actions could be grouped in the categories of ecology, food, education, organization, social and municipality. The insights of our research on urban agriculture in public space gave us new perspectives and translations and can inform new and innovative visions.

Abstract Physical technologies make us warmer, faster, and more powerful. But there is a more important technology-a cognitive technology-that makes us smarter. Elsewhere, I have called this technology “cognitive artifacts” (Norman, 1991, 1993). Through our technologies we have changed the normal forces that affect natural evolution. No longer do the weak, the frail, and the injured die. Now it is those with technology who thrive, those without who do not: Whether desirable or not, it is the state to which we have now evolved.

Abstract Most people experience psychological symptoms from time to time— most of us know, for example, what it feels like to be anxious or depressed. Does that mean that everyone has a mental illness? What is the boundary between mental disorder and the normal emotional experiences, the ups and downs, of everyday life? In medicine, illness (or disease) describes a process leading to impairment of normal physiological function.

Abstract Sometimes, our brain plays tricks on us; sometimes, magicians play tricks on us. More often, imagining the impossible helps us deal with the inexplicable. Bad omens can help us deflect blame. Good omens can help us be more confident. Reading other people’s minds can help us feel less uncertain about what they are thinking. Communicating with the deceased can help us deal with the deaths of loved ones and can also offer the comforting thought that there is life after death. The desire to believe can be so strong that the scientific demand for evidence discredits science instead of eradicating superstition. If scientists dismiss common beliefs, believers may well conclude that science is not to be trusted.

This chapter defines normal skin by considering the roles it fulfils in keeping us healthy. In practical terms, these include the ability to regulate temperature, absorb sunlight, and prevent infection, as well as to play host to a microbiome of more ‘friendly’ bugs on the skin surface. It is also recognized that there is a more emotive side to having normal skin, however, due to the prevalence of flawless skin in the media and its importance in society. This idea is addressed in turn, but with the conclusion that skin doesn’t necessarily have to look perfect in order to be healthy or normal.

Abstract This chapter discusses the contradictory forces characterizing Nyegaard & Co.’s situation. On the one hand the tremendous influence of the penicillin breakthrough during the Second World War and the optimism about the possibilities of finding new drugs, which also included a highly inspiring breakthrough in British Glaxo and US Merck that built on Nyegaard & Co.’s pre-war research. Nyegaard & Co. invested in young scientists that were sent to Britain’s best chemists. On the other hand, the Norwegian regulatory authorities were skeptical of the privately owned pharmaceutical companies and their profit seeking and kept strict control of drug prices at a time of rising costs. Nyegaard & Co., a family company with a solid economy from before the war, chose to invest as much in shipping as in pharmaceuticals, most notably stopping a penicillin project. While Norwegian drug policies hardly caught up with the times, shipping was prioritized by the new Labour government.

Abstract In the period from 1986 to the merger with British Amersham in 1997, Nyegaard & Co. was rather forcefully changed by the stock-listed Norwegian company Hafslund that had purchased Actinor. Renaming the big company Hafslund Nycomed and going wholeheartedly into pharmaceuticals, Hafslund Nycomed became a major force in imaging products, especially thanks to the success of the product Omnipaque. In 1994, Hafslund Nycomed bought Sterling Drug’s US contrast media operation, in addition to the extensive marketing network having been created elsewhere. Hafslund Nycomed, however, prioritized shareholder value, centralized and streamlined research, divided Nycomed (Nyegaard & Co.) into two parts (Imaging and Pharma), and spent a lot of money building a European generics business through numerous acquisitions. In the brisk climate of the mid-1990s, pressure on drug prices, the looming threat of generic competition to Omnipaque, and a meager research portfolio, Hafslund Nycomed merged with Amersham in 1997, creating a British company led by Amersham’s chief executive officer.

Abstract IN Laxdrela saga the reason given for the emigration of Ketill flatnefr and his family from Norway is the expansionist policy of King Harald Fairhair. The author of Laxdrela saga thereby reaffirms the tradition that the tyranny of Harald was the main reason for leaving Norway in the ninth century. However, would-be emigrants not only had to decide to leave; they also had to decide upon a proper destination, and Laxda:la saga gives us some reasons for choosing Iceland.

BackgroundCare recipients in care and welfare are increasingly presenting themselves with complex needs (Huber et al., 2016). An answer to this is the integrated organization of care and welfare in a way that personalized care is the measure (Topol, 2016). The reality, however, is that care and welfare are still mainly offered in a standardized, specialized and fragmented way. This imbalance between the need for care and the supply of care not only leads to under-treatment and over-treatment and thus to less (experienced) quality, but also entails the risk of mis-treatment, which means that patient safety is at stake (Berwick, 2005). It also leads to a reduction in the functioning of citizens and unnecessary healthcare cost (Olsson et al, 2009).Integrated CareIntegrated care is the by fellow human beings experienced smooth process of effective help, care and service provided by various disciplines in the zero line, the first line, the second line and the third line in healthcare and welfare, as close as possible (Ettema et al, 2018; Goodwin et al, 2015). Integrated care starts with an extensive assessment with the care recipient. Then the required care and services in the zero line, the first line, the second line and / or the third line are coordinated between different care providers. The care is then delivered to the person (fellow human) at home or as close as possible (Bruce and Parry, 2015; Evers and Paulus, 2015; Lewis, 2015; Spicer, 2015; Cringles, 2002).AimSupport societal participation, quality of live and reduce care demand and costs in people with complex care demands, through integration of healthcare and welfare servicesMethods (overview)1. Create best healthcare and welfare practices in Slovenia, Poland, Austria, Norway, UK, Finland, The Netherlands: three integrated best care practices per involved country 2. Get insight in working mechanisms of favourable outcomes (by studying the contexts, mechanisms and outcomes) to enable personalised integrated care for meeting the complex care demand of people focussed on societal participation in all integrated care best practices.3. Disclose program design features and requirements regarding finance, governance, accountability and management for European policymakers, national policy makers, regional policymakers, national umbrella organisations for healthcare and welfare, funding organisations, and managers of healthcare and welfare organisations.4. Identify needs of healthcare and welfare deliverers for creating and supporting dynamic partnerships for integrating these care services for meeting complex care demands in a personalised way for the client.5.
