عمق اقیانوس چقدر است؟
No full textFocus:
To gain an appreciation of ocean depth using ideas of scale and physical education.
Learning objectives:
With these TWO activities, pupils will begin to understand (and feel) how deep the ocean can be in relation to their own size and height. They will get a feeling of the difference between height (above ground) and depth (in relation to water).
Key words:
Height, (ocean) depth.تمرکز
برای به دست آوردن درک از عمق اقیانوس با استفاده از ایده های مقیاس و تربیت بدنی.
اهداف آموزشی
با این دو فعالیت، دانشآموزان شروع به درک (و احساس) میکنند که اقیانوس نسبت به اندازه و ارتفاع خودشان چقدر میتواند عمیق باشد. آنها احساس تفاوت بین ارتفاع (در بالای زمین) و عمق (در رابطه با آب) را خواهند داشت.
کلمات کلیدی
ارتفاع، عمق (اقیانوس)
En brennende kniv: Selvmord, sublimering og slapstick i Arne Østrings «Ut av stillheten»
Get PDFArne Østring’s flash fiction «Out of the Silence» could certainly be read as a slightly comical text about a Japanese kamikaze pilot’s – a suicide bomber’s – impossible raid against a militarily superior enemy, but more interestingly the text balances a war-logic and a rational psychology, it unpacks the premise and backstory of kamikaze war, and it situates a suicide bomber as what sociologist Norbert Elias called homo clausus: the isolated, enclosed individual who is all alone in the world. And finally, the text demonstrates that a reading of literary suicides must always be a reading of the text.Arne Østrings kortprosatekst «Ut av stillheten» kan saktens leses som en lettere komisk tekst om en japansk kamikaze-pilots – en selvmordsbombers – umulige tokt mot en militært overlegen fiende, men mer interessant er det at teksten balanserer en krigslogikk og en rasjonell psykologi, at den skriver frem kamikaze-krigens premisser og forhistorie, og ikke minst at den situerer selvmorderen som det sosiologen Norbert Elias kalte homo clausus: det isolerte, lukkede mennesket som føler seg alene i verden. Og endelig demonstrerer teksten at selve lesningen av litterære selvmord alltid må være en lesning av teksten
Kreativitet og destruksjon i Bjarte Breiteigs «Der nede sørger de ikke»
Get PDFHow can we interpret Bjarte Breiteig\u27s short story «Der nede sørger de ikke» (They Don\u27t Mourn Down There)? The short story depicts two teenage boys who, seemingly without reason, vandalize the arts and crafts rooms at their school. However, on a symbolic level, their destructive actions are connected to themes of suicide, creativity, and individuality.Hvordan kan vi forstå Bjarte Breiteigs novelle «Der nede sørger de ikke»? Novellen er en realistisk skildring av to ungdommer som tilsynelatende uten grunn raserer formingssalene på skolen. På et symbolsk nivå er hærverket imidlertid knyttet til forestillinger om selvmord, kreativitet og individualitet
Skriften på veggen: Selvmordstematikken og det medfølende blikket i ungdomsserien Rådebank
No full textThis article analyzes the theme of suicide in NRK\u27s successful youth drama Rod Knock (Rådebank). Departing from a genre perspective on youth drama conventions within Norwegian and Nordic public service broadcasting drama, the article analyzes how the series constructs a compassionate gaze that seeks both to recognize the impossibility of understanding the act of suicide and to show conditions for actions that may contribute to survival.Denne artikkelen analyserer selvmordstematikken i NRKs suksessfulle ungdomsdrama Rådebank. Med utgangspunkt i ungdomsseriens sjangerkonvensjoner innen norsk og nordisk allmennkringkastingsdrama analyserer artikkelen hvordan serien konstruerer et medfølende blikk på selvmordstematikken som søker både å anerkjenne umuligheten av å forstå selvmordet og samtidig vise betingelser for handlingen som kan bidra til overlevelse
What Spanish can tell us about the syntax of eventives vs. stative verbal predicates
No full textThe main goal of this article is to argue and provide support for the distinction between eventive and stative verbal predicates being encoded in the syntax. More specifically, following Travis (1991, 2010, MacDonald 2008, Kardos & Farkas 2022), I provide arguments for the existence of an aspectual functional projection situated between Voice and VP: AspP. I argue that eventive verbal predicates project AspP and stative verbal predicates do not. Its syntactic presence serves as input to semantics giving rise to a dynamic predicate, a predicate that entails (some amount of) change along a scale, based on scalar approaches to eventive verbal predicates (Hay et al. 1999, Kennedy & Levin 2008, Beavers 2011, 2013, among others). Empirically, I discuss two phenomena from Spanish: hacerlo "do so" substitution and verbal interfixes, like ot in fregotear "to scrub at" (vs. fregar "to scrub"). I argue that hacer selects for AspP while the verbal interfixes head Asp. Support for the main proposal that there is a syntactic distinction between eventives and statives emerges from the ungrammaticality of hacerlo when it takes a stative verbal antecedent and the fact that the output of interfixation does not give rise to stative verbal predicates, only eventive verbal predicatesEl propósito principal de esta artículo es ofrecer argumentos y apoyo para una distinción sintáctica entre los predicados verbales eventivos y estativos. Más específicamente, siguiendo a Travis (1991, 2010, MacDonald 2008, Kardos & Farkas 2022), ofrezco argumento para la existencia de una proyección funcional aspectual situada entre Voice y VP: AspP. Propongo que los predicados verbales eventivos proyectan AspP y los predicados verbales estativos no. Su presencia sintáctica sirve de input a la semántica y da lugar a un predicado dinámico, un predicado que implica (cierto grado de) cambio en una escala, tal como se proponen las propuestas que se basan en escalas para explicar los predicados verbales eventivos (Hay et al. 1999, Kennedy & Levin 2008, Beavers 2011, 2013, entre otros). Empíricamente, me centro en dos fenómenos del español: la sustitución por hacerlo "do so" y los interfijos verbales como ot en fregotear. Propongo que hacer selecciona AspP, mientras que los interfijos son el núcleo de AspP. Apoyo para la propuesta principal que hay una distinción sintáctica entre los eventivos y los estativos emerge de la agramaticalidad de hacerlo cuando toma como antecedente un predicado estativo y el hecho que el output de la interfijación no es un predicado verbal estativo, solo un predicado verbal eventivo
Bowhead whales spend more time in waters with colder sea surface temperatures
No full textMarine mammals are under potential threats due to rapid ocean warming. Such threats may be especially challenging for the bowhead whale (Balaena mysticetus), an endemic arctic cetacean, because it is limited in how much further north it can go. To explore the effects of global warming on this species, data from 84 bowhead whales in Baffin Bay – West Greenland tagged with satellite linked radio transmitters during the 11 years between 2001 and 2011 were analysed. With this time series, it is possible to investigate the effect of increasing temperature of preferred water mass temperature and temperature at depth where most bowhead feeding occurs through sea surface temperature (SST) on bowhead whale behaviour. We used daily positions and daily SST to develop seasonal Tweedie generalised linear mixed models to model the duration that bowhead whales spend in 20 x 20 km cells as a function of SST. The model was fitted on a much finer spatial and temporal scale than in previous studies, thus enabling a more detailed understanding of behaviour relative to water temperature. Our study demonstrates that bowhead whales spend more time in water with colder surface temperatures, suggesting that as waters continue to warm, bowheads may move further north, potentially reducing their overall available habitat
Languages in scholarly publishing and support of scholarly publishing in the Nordic area
No full textBased on data collected in the DIAMAS Survey of institutional publishing in the European Research Area, I show which languages are used for publication and service providing among respondents from the Nordic and Baltic region. I also discuss languages for service and support in the Nordic countries, in particular in Norway, in light of legal requirements
Pronomenet “hen” praktisk og politisk: Ei undersøking av meiningar blant høgskuletilsette om rettskrivingsendringa i 2022
No full textIn 2022 a gender-neutral singular pronoun hen was introduced through a spelling reform of Norwegian Nynorsk and Bokmål (origin: from Finnish trad. hän via Swedish hen, officially introduced into Swedish in 2015). In this article, we present findings from a survey on hen sent to all employees at the Western Norway University of Applied Sciences during the public hearing period prior to the spelling reform. The analysis shows a majority of the respondents (N=645) supporting the introduction of hen, across age groups (range 20–70), but with some differences according to gender and department affiliation. The reported use of hen was also high. In a quantitative content analysis of free text comments, we see that two categories of arguments dominate among respondents supporting the introduction of hen: The first is a ‘political’ subcategory with comments emphasizing the rights of persons who do not define themselves as female or male. The second is a ‘pragmatic’ subcategory where hen is referred to as a practical alternative to other gender-neutralizing Norwegian expressions, but in which respondents do not necessarily presuppose an understanding of gender beyond the binary. The arguments against hen follow a similar divide. In a dominant ‘pragmatic’ subcategory, respondents express that the new pronoun is an unnecessary addition to the current range of gender-neutral expressions, and in a ‘political’ subcategory respondents express negative value assessments of the reform and pronoun. The article documents patterns in reported language use and reported attitudes about a particular language change at a particular point in time, from a particular social group (HE employees), and the results provide a starting point for future investigations of the usage pattern and attitudes to the pronoun hen in Norwegian.I 2022 vart hen innført som kjønnsnøytralt pronomen i nynorsk og bokmål. I denne artikkelen presenterer me funn frå ei spørjegransking om pronomenet hen som var sendt til alle tilsette ved Høgskulen på Vestlandet (HVL) våren før rettskrivingsvedtaket. Analysen syner at det var høg grad av støtte mellom dei tilsette for innføringa av hen, på tvers av aldersgrupper, men med nokre skilnader mellom ulike grupper etter kjønn og fakultetstilhøyrsle. Den rapporterte bruken av pronomenet var også høg. I ein kvantitativ innhaldsanalyse av fritekstkommentarar som grunn-gjev støtte til innføringa av hen, dominerer to kategoriar: Den første er ein ‘politisk’ underkategori med vekt på rettane til personar som ikkje definerer seg som kvinne eller mann. Den andre er ein ‘pragmatisk’ underkategori der hen blir omtalt som eit praktisk alternativ til andre kjønnsnøytraliserande språklege uttrykk, utan at det nødvendigvis føreset ei kjønnsforståing ut over den binære. Argumentasjonen mot hen følgjer liknande skilje. I ein dominerande ‘pragmatisk’ underkategori legg ein vekt på at me ikkje treng hen fordi ein meiner det alt finst høvelege løysingar i språket, og i ein ‘politisk’ underkategori finn me ulike uttrykk for verdivurderingar. Artikkelen dokumenterer slik mønster i rapportert språkbruk og rapporterte haldningar til ei særskilt språkendring på eit avgrensa historisk tidspunkt frå ei avgrensa gruppe (høgskuletilsette), og dokumentasjonen legg eit grunnlag for framtidige undersøkingar av bruksmønstera og haldningane til pronomenet
Playing rogues: Picaresque experiences in videogames
No full textThis article explores how video games, with no apparent connection to the literary rogue, still articulate Picaresque episodes and simulate Picaresque experiences through their intended gameplay and worldbuilding. These experiences are a specific expression of the combination of mechanics, narrative, and the agency of the player around a defined type of character, the rogue. They show how pervasive the influence of Picaresque Literature is, influencing design choices and informing key forms of being and acting in virtual worlds. This paper aims to define what a Picaresque experience in video games is and how it is possible to produce them. To achieve this, three video games will be analysed to show the different specific tools video games use to enable these experiences. The analyses will be supported by a theoretical framework based on existing bibliography about agency, videoludic narrative, mechanics, and Picaresque Literature with the objective of offering a comprehensive description of Picaresque experiences while also explaining them as a transmedia phenomenon that demonstrates the influence of Picaresque Literature in video games
