Assessing the impact of human development on animals is complicated by the fact that overt effects may have covert causes. Cryptic impacts (sensu Raiter et al. 2014) can arise where sensory stimuli to which species respond fall outside the human sensory range. Ultraviolet (UV) light, which is detected by a range of nonprimate mammals, is a potential example. We review evidence that dark-adapted eyes ...

During the last decades debates and concerns over deaccessioning and disposal have affected museums worldwide.

The discovery of an amber bead and an unusual type of slate knife at a site near Tromsø, Norway instigated reflection upon inter-regional mobility and possible travel routes in northern Fennoscandia. In combination with finds near Kilpisjärvi, Finland, these early Neolithic objects found far from their main distribution area allow us to suggest that the Torne River and its connected waterways provided ...

Høsten 1944 iverksatte den tyske okkupasjonsmakten operasjon «Nordlicht», også kjent som «den brente jords taktikk». De materielle ødeleggelsene og de menneskelige omkostningene var enorme. Selve ødeleggelsene og operasjonen er godt dokumentert, men ikke de langsiktige samfunnsmessige og politiske konsekvensene.

The last section shows the relevance of the concept for library and information science in general and for knowledge organization, in which paratext in particular ...

The first Sámi newspaper, Sagai Muitalæggje, was established in 1903, and in 1906 the first Sámi was elected to the Norwegian parliament. Through these two events, the Sámi (the indigenous population of Norway) had their own voice heard and achieved political influence in the public sphere for the first time. What was the role and significance of libraries in this process? Anders Larsen, the editor ...

Die in der Schule als zweite Fremdsprachen gelernten Sprachen sind in Norwegen als Universitätsfächer in der Krise, darunter Deutsch. Geringe Studentenzahlen, schwache sprachliche Kompetenzen der Studienanfänger und ein auf den Lehrerberuf begrenzter Abnehmermarkt sind die Hauptherausforderungen. Gleichzeitig ruft die Wirtschaft in Norwegen nach Fachkräften, die gut Deutsch können und diese ...

Ondskap, lidelse og det Â"uønskedeÂ" kan i nyreligiøsiteten fortolkes på flere måter. Denne artikkelen beskriver to nivåer av ondskap og lidelse, et ytre og et indre nivå, hvor det ytre i hovedsak omhandler estetisering av ondskap og populærkulturell ondskapsfascinasjon, i relasjon til Christopher Partridges (2004 og 2005) occulture-begrep. Det indre nivået som behandles i artikkelens andre del ...
