Arctic Ocean and Barents Sea Fauna Catalogue
No full textThis guide provides examples of observed morphological distinct organisms, also designated as morphospecies (msp), from photographs and videos from different “cold seeps” and nearby areas from the Arctic Ocean and the Barents Sea. The organisms were annotated to the lowest possible taxonomic level based on external morphological characteristics. The data was gathered using a range of equipment during CAGE 15-2, CAGE 17-2, CAGE 18-4, CAGE 18-5, CAGE 20-7, CAGE 21-1 (AKMA1), CAGE 22-2 (AKMA2/Ocean Senses), and AKMA3 cruises
Flerspråklige praksiser i norsk-tyske familiesamtaler fra et samtaleanalytisk perspektiv
No full textThis article shows how Norwegian-German adolescents negotiate the framework of participation in family conversations by combining code-switching with multimodal resources. The data consists of self-made video recordings of everyday conversations from two multilingual families (13 recordings, approx. 4 hours), recorded between December 2022 to January 2023. Both families have children of adolescent age (between 15 to 20 years) who have had their upbringing in Norway, whereas their parents moved to Norway from Germany as adults. Through detailed analyses of authentic conversations, based on Auer’s (1995) theories on code-switching, the material shows that the adolescents use code-switching, in combination with multimodal resources, to suggest changes in the participant framework within the family conversation. This often occurs when there are disagreements between the adolescents in the family interactions. The results show how codeswitching can contextualize both a participant’s preferred language and the changes that occur within the conversation’s structure at the same time. The analysis employs multimodal conversation analysis to deepen the present understanding of multilingual adolescents’ linguistic practices in family conversations, as offered by existing sociolinguistic studies. Thus, the article provides insight into how code-switching is a resource in the interaction between multilingual participants, and it shows how the term of code-switching may be a useful and important tool when studying multilingual conversations.Denne artikkelen viser hvordan norsk-tyske ungdommer forhandler om rammene for deltakelse i familiesamtaler ved å kombinere kodeveksling med multimodale ressurser. Dataene består av selvinnspilte videoopptak av hverdagssamtaler fra to flerspråklige familier (13 opptak, ca. 4 timer), foretatt i perioden fra desember 2022 til januar 2023. Begge familiene har barn i ungdomsårene (15–20 år) som er oppvokst i Norge, mens foreldrene flyttet til Norge fra Tyskland i voksen alder. Detaljerte tur-for-tur-analyser av familienes autentiske samtaler, basert på Auers (1995) teorier om kodeveksling, viser at ungdommene bruker kodeveksling i kombinasjon med multimodale ressurser for å foreslå forandringer i deltakerrammeverket i familiesamtalen. Dette skjer ofte når det oppstår uenighet mellom ungdommene i familieinteraksjonen. Resultatene viser hvordan kodeveksling kan kontekstualisere en deltakers foretrukne språk og endringer i samtalens struktur på samme tid. Ved å vektlegge det multimodale aspektet i samtaleanalysen utvider analysen den eksisterende sosiolingvistiske forskningen på flerspråklige ungdommers språklige praksiser i familiesamtaler. I tillegg viser artikkelen hvordan ungdommene bruker norsk og tysk som atskilte språk i familiesamtalene sine, der de involverte i interaksjonen har ulike foretrukne språk. Artikkelen gir dermed innsikt i hvordan kodeveksling er en ressurs i samspillet mellom flerspråklige deltakere, og viser at kodevekslingsbegrepet kan være et nyttig og viktig redskap i studier av flerspråklige samtaler
Norsk språkpolitikks janusansikt : Vilhelm Andreas Wexelsen (1849–1909) som språkpolitisk aktør
No full textThis paper seeks to illuminate an ideological paradox within Norwegian language policy, a duality that is rather striking but nevertheless has often gone unnoticed: From the mid-19th century and extending for at least a century thereafter, there existed a large national effort to give the Norwegian people a Norwegian language of their own. Simultaneously, another national initiative aimed to deprive certain parts of the population within the same country of their language. At the core of this paradox lies an individual deeply enmeshed in both processes – the theologian and parliamentary politician Vilhelm Andreas Wexelsen (1849–1909). The analysis predominantly revolves around Wexelsen and his work, while the historical and ideological context in which Wexelsen operated is inevitably given great weight. Not least by making Wexelsen’s emblematic motto ‘Norwegianity and Christianity’ (Norw. ‘Norskdom og kristendom’) the cornerstone for both the argumentation and the organization of the discussion.Artikkelen kaster lys over en påtakelig, men lite påaktet ideologisk dobbelthet i norsk språkpolitikk: Fra midten av 1800-tallet og iallfall et århundre framover foregikk det et stort nasjonalt arbeid med å gi det norske folk et eget norsk språk, og helt simultant gikk det for seg et annet nasjonalt arbeid som hadde som ambisjon å frata deler av befolkningen i det samme landet deres eget språk. I sentrum står en enkeltperson som var sterkt delaktig i begge disse prosessene: teologen og stortingspolitikeren Vilhelm Andreas Wexelsen (1849–1909). Analysen dreier seg for en stor del om Wexelsen og hans virke, samtidig som den historiske og ideologiske konteksten Wexelsen agerte i, nødvendigvis blir tillagt stor betydning – ikke minst gjennom at Wexelsens emblematiske motto ‘Norskdom og kristendom’ blir gjort til omdreiningspunkt for så vel argumentasjon som organisering av framstillingen
Low applicatives in Catalan: the case of \u27veure-hi\u27
No full textThis paper analyzes an argument structure alternation found in Catalan in which a verb of perception appears with a non-referential locative pronominal clitic hi. In this alternation, a transitive verb like veure ‘to see’ can combine with the pronoun hi and form a stative intransitive predicate veure-hi, which means ‘to be able to see’, and with a reflexive pronoun es, as in veure-s’hi, which has a similar meaning plus an inchoative interpretation. This paper analyzes this alternation within the argument structure framework laid out by Wood and Marantz (2017). Specifically, I propose that the locative pronoun hi and the reflexive pronoun es are the exponents of expletive pronouns associated with identity functions that license different values of a single argument introducer head, i*. In the former case, hi appears in the complement position of i*, which gets a low applicative head interpretation, and the latter in the specifier position of a Voice functional head. With this approach, the paper paves the way for a unified approach to the different values that the locative pronoun hi can display in Catalan
Number-specification in numeral \u27cien\u27: Where generality meets lexical specificity
No full textNumbers express the primary concept of cardinality, the measure of the number of elements in a set that answers the question how many? Linguistically, they are conveyed through simple (dos ‘two’) or complex (doscientos ‘two hundred’). Although numerals higher than 1 are inherently plural, plurality only overtly appears on cien ‘hundred’ and millón ‘million’ and only when the numeral is part of a multiplicative number (doscientas sillas ‘two hundred.f.pl chairs’ vs. additive ciento dos sillas ‘one and hundred two chairs’). The additive vs. multiplicative constraint on overt number is analyzed as follows: complex numerals have a functional head that encodes plurality. This head is potentially realized as an affix that attaches to the root. Since additive numerals involve coordination, the coordinate structure constraint blocks -s from attaching to the root. Multiplicative numerals, on the other hand, allow for -s to attach to the root, since no additional structure blocks attachment. Plurality only appears overtly on cien ‘hundred’ and millón ‘million’ because the morphological insertion rules for plurality in cardinals treats the null plural as default and the -s plural as marked (and restricted to a few roots). Approximative numerals (miles de personas ‘thousands of people’) obligatorily show plural marking and de, instantiating yet another source of number, a functional DIV(ision) head
Despot: The game that looks back
No full textIain Banks’ Complicity (1993) features a fictional ‘world-builder’ game called Despot that actively watches and emulates the player. This fictional game emerges as part of the Scottish Fantastic, a literary tradition that explores split selves and divided identities. Despot plays into this literary tradition as it creates a violent ludic other for the otherwise passive protagonist that plays it. Yet as a closer examination of Despot reveals, the game does not ‘uncover’ or ‘mirror’ the protagonist’s latent violence so much as it refracts it through its procedural logic. Despot prophetically predicts and critiques the rise of the quantified self within games, as features like morality meters, achievements, reputation systems and Elo ratings all ‘watch’ and create ludic versions of the player. Towards the end of the novel, the protagonist leaves Despot running and returns to find a radically altered version of the game. Without the protagonist’s interference, his empire has crumbled and been reclaimed by nature. Through this, Banks also provides a lens through which the quantified self can be subverted and repurposed in ways not limited by the cultural logics that produced it

Follow-up study after four years shows reduced deterrence effect of pingers on harbour porpoises in Norwegian gillnet fishery
No full textWe report results from follow-up field trials testing acoustic deterrents (pingers) as a measure to reduce harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) by-catch rates in coastal gillnet fisheries in Norway. Twelve gillnet fishers conducted a total of 308 fishing trips, fishing with and without pingers in alternating weeks between January and April 2024. Harbour porpoises were by-caught in both pingered (9 porpoises) and control nets (25 porpoises), with most (~73%) taken in control nets. Average by-catch rates were calculated using a generalised linear mixed model (GLMM) approach. The average harbour porpoise by-catch rate was estimated at 0.061 (95% CI 0.034 – 0.098) porpoises per net km day in control nets and 0.031 (95% CI 0.011 – 0.060) porpoises per net km day in pingered nets. This shows that the by-catch rate in pingered nets was about 50% lower than in control nets (95% CI 0 – 83%). This estimate is lower (i.e. the pinger effect size is smaller) than a directly comparable study (Moan & Bjørge, 2023). Possible causes include limited sample size, the use of bait bags to attach pingers to the nets, reporting biases, and/or desensitisation/habituation of porpoises to the pinger sounds. Extra time use due to pingers was low, about two minutes per haul. The use of bait bags seems to have mitigated some, but not all the practical issues reported earlier. The pooled pinger effect size estimate using data from both Moan and Bjørge (2023) and the present study, was estimated at 72% (95% CI 44 – 89%)
Better Together: How Funding and Quality Certification Empower Public Infrastructures for Diamond Open Access
No full text(Watch the RECORDING.)
The transformation of research communication and access systems toward open, equitable, and sustainable models requires robust public policies based on a fine-grained articulation of public resources to strength digital infrastructures. Political support, funding streams, legal frameworks, enforcement mechanisms, infrastructures, human resources, time, consensus, and organizational capacity are the key instruments for effective grass routed open science policies. This proposal examines the role of National public policies in advancing Diamond OA, focusing on two main policy instruments: dedicated public funding streams and public based quality certification services for journals, Diamond institutional publishers and publishing platforms, and OA repositories. The Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT), under the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, issues these services since 2020 and 2007 respectively.
National funding calls for open science in Spain have been dedicated to support the technical development of these three digital infrastructures. Two funding calls were issued in 2020 and 2023, providing 1.09 million € and 3 million € in support, respectively. Up to 92 proposals were funded out of 169 submissions. The presentation will highlight key challenges in the design of the call, the participatory mechanisms used to engage with the publishers and the librarian’s community, and the main outcomes of funded projects. Through ex post analysis, both expected and unexpected impacts are evaluated, offering insights into effective public policy design.
Besides, public based quality certification instruments for digital infrastructures in the context of open science are grounded in the principle that quality should be treated as a public good, collectively defined, transparently governed, and equitably accessible. In Spain, these instruments aim to challenge and ultimately replace the dominant influence of commercial service providers, whose metrics and proprietary standards have often imposed toxic and unsustainable frameworks on research and development (R&D) assessment processes. FECYT issues quality certification services for national scholarly journals and for OA repositories since 2007, and for Diamond OA institutional publishers since 2004. The presentation will show that there is still a notable gap between the high level of acceptance these services enjoy among the library and Diamond publishing communities, and their slower progression in gaining the same level of prestige typically associated with commercially based assessment frameworks.
By sharing Spain’s experience, this presentation aims to offer a replicable model for how national agencies can design effective public policies for open science infrastructures. This presentation is also an invitation to dialogue on how policy, funding, and technical coordination can jointly advance the global transition to open, inclusive, and community-driven science
Co-Creating Innovative Approaches to Open Access in the Social Sciences: Insights from Emerald’s Open Lab
No full text(Watch the RECORDING.)
Emerald strives to meet the needs of consumers and authors of academic content whilst ensuring the underpinning models are sustainable for our business. This is particularly challenging operating within differing global incentives, and in the social sciences disciplines, where funding opportunities are limited compared to the wider sciences.
Emerald has had varying success with its open initiatives; our zero embargo Green OA policy on the author accepted manuscript continues to be valued, our current Diamond programme is going from strength to strength, however the market was not ready for the innovative Emerald Open Research.
In 2024 we launched the Open Lab, our dedicated incubator unit. Our objective is to address what we see are the problems in the OA market. We aim to find solutions tailored to the needs of social sciences, bringing in multiple views and perspectives in order to bring in a sustainable model that truly fulfils the aims of open access.
We are committed to finding open solutions that work for those who create, consume and apply research. We are committed to communicating and testing our ideas with our stakeholders. We are committed to listening to their needs and their problems.
The Open Lab have been developing a number of ideas for new potential services, products, and models. These concepts have been created out of the problems identified in the market, and built upon through design sprints. We have been testing, each idea, and its underlying problems and solutions with various stakeholders, from consortia, librarians, research services, science communicators, third sector leaders, and those in industry. By engaging in dialogue in parallel with running design sprints, the Open Lab is constantly validating its solutions.
We believe that constant conversation and collaboration will help us to co-create a sustainable solution. Only by working together can we address the complexities of an open world
