En slik tilknytning kan analyseres som en form for slekting, der individer gjennom relasjoner og praksiser vedlikeholder og knyttes til fellesskap som for eksempel det kvenske.

In this article, we identify and discuss unifying principles to co-design transformational sustainable-tourism interventions through participatory methodologies. We conduct a meta-ethnographic synthesis of the emerging relevant tourism literature (14 articles), and we propose five methodological requirements that underpin effective interventions for sustainable tourism transformations. The requirements ...

Denne studien analyserer potensielle fusjoner mellom nettselskaper i Nord-Norge, for å undersøke hvordan fusjonene påvirker konkurransedyktigheten til de gitte selskapene i NVEs reguleringsmodell. For å danne fusjonspartnere blir forholdstall mellom input- og outputvariablene brukt, med mål om å finne partnere som i stor grad er ulike. Datagrunnlaget for analysen er hentet fra beregningen av ...

Over the years, international elite sport has developed into an 'arms race' with the success of national elite sport systems becoming a symbol of regime superiority. During the Cold War, the Eastern and Western Blocs battled for success in various sports disciplines. The former nations were dominating in terms of medals, symbolising the force of the socialist autocratic system. However, because of ...

Climate change and the advent of artificial intelligence-generated content are reshaping wine marketing. The interplay between consumer focus on naturalness and sustainable farming practices and the proliferation of artificial intelligence-generated content represents a particularly salient area of research. However, the extent to which the presence of fictitious artificial intelligence-generated ...

We argue that to better evidence impact of tourism interventions and facilitate policy transfer we ought to adopt approaches to evaluation that allow us to deepen our understanding of causal mechanisms at play in an intervention. We adopt process ...
