Transfers between professionals and levels of care are a challenge in terms of medicines management. Norwegian governmental strategies encourage communication and collaboration between levels of care, and several initiatives are invested in to improve digital medicine management. In the project ...

While Argentine-Chilean relations have long been swayed between cooperation and confrontation since their independence in the 19^th century and a long-standing presence in Antarctica, the stretch between Tierra del Fuego to the Antarctic Peninsula stands as the closest lane (i.e. about 1,000 km) to any other continent. Despite their territorial dispute over islands on the fractured southern ...

Norge har opplevd en betydelig urbanisering de siste tiårene. Dette endrer samfunnet politisk, sosialt og kulturelt. Dersom Oslo-eliten ikke forstår hvordan dette ser ut fra landsbygda, vil de få store utfordringer fremover.

Problemene i nord forteller oss mye om både Arbeiderpartiets problemer generelt og i Nord-Norge spesielt. Jonas Gahr Støre er sannsynligvis den norske statsministeren i moderne tid som har hatt sterkest engasjement for Nord-Norge. Likevel styrer han nå mot nok et historisk svakt valgresultat i landsdelen. Hans floker i nord forteller oss mye om både Arbeiderpartiets problemer generelt og i Nord-Norge ...

This paper presents an analytical model for studying “encounters” that take place when ideas for innovation meet institutions (The IIE-model).

I løpet av det siste tiåret har mange norske kommuner opprettet tildelingskontor for vurdering av behov for og tildeling av individuelle helse- og sosialtjenester. I dette kapitlet ser vi på etablering av tildelingskontor som en kommunal innovasjon. Kontorene befinner seg i et spenningsfelt mellom ulike styringsparadigmer, noe som både har betydning for hvilke koordineringsmekanismer som tas i ...

Internasjonal statsvitenskap har de siste tiårene utfordret den tradisjonelle éndimensjonale forståelsen av europeisk politikk. Analysene av norsk politikk har alltid vært flerdimensjonale, og sånn sett kan man si at analysene av europeisk politikk har tatt igjen de norske. Samtidig åpner et nytt todimensjonalt europeisk rammeverk, GAL-TAN, et nytt perspektiv på norsk politikk. Denne artikkelen viser ...

In the amazing building constructed in the early 19th century to house the Bank of Scotland, in the centre of Edinburgh, you will find the Museum of the Mound, a museum basically dedicated to anything to do with “money”. Its collection contains marvellous pieces of what we may call traditional forms of money from various cultures all over the world. What I would say is arguably the most spectacular ...

In this photographic essay, I explore reverberations of movement from the Arctic to East Africa, where I have done ethnographic fieldwork or passed through on my own anthropological and personal journey. The photos compare continuities of movement for transborder Skolt Sámi communities in Fennoscandia, sedentarized East ...
