  • Approaches to spatial inequalities in a Nordic welfare state – the case of Norway 

    Bæck, Unn-Doris Karlsen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-03-29)
    In this article, the position of the core ideas of equity and equal opportunities within the Nordic model of education today is problematized, using Norway as the case of interest and spatial dividing lines as the main variable in question. I am specifically preoccupied with geographical education differences as part of the ‘unequal opportunity problem’ in Nordic education. Focusing on spatial ...
  • Young refugees’ feelings of belonging? Encounters with rural Denmark and northern Norway 

    Herslund, Lise; Paulgaard, Gry (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-05-07)
    This paper investigates how young refugees settled in rural Norway and Denmark experience their new places of residence. We find inspiration in the idea of ‘contradictions of space’ (Kinkaid [2020]. “Re-encountering Lefebvre: Toward a Critical Phenomenology of Social Space.” Society and Space 38 (1): 167–186.) in exploring how young refugees navigate issues in rural life from housing, ...

    Thorvaldsen, Steinar; Øhrstrøm, Peter; Hössjer, Ola (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-06-27)
    Current genetics studies often refer to notions from information science. The purpose of this paper is to summarize and structure the different notions of information used in biology, as a step towards developing a taxonomy of information. Within this framework we propose an extension of Floridi’s conceptual model of information. We also make use of the concept of specified information and show ...

  • Use of directed quasi-metric distances for quantifying the information of gene families 

    Thorvaldsen, Steinar; Hössjer, Ola (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-06-12)
    A large hindrance to analyzing information in genetic or protein sequence data has been a lack of a mathematical framework for doing so. In this paper, we present a multinomial probability space X as a general foundation for multicategory discrete data, where categories refer to variants/alleles of biosequences. The external information that is infused in order to generate a sample of such data ...
