Problematisk skolefravær – årsaker, tidlig identifisering og kartlegging. En redegjørelse av kunnskapsgrunnlaget.
Dette notatet er utarbeidet på vegne av Rana Ungdomsskole, som er prosjekteier i RAUS – Reduksjon av utfordrende skolefravær - et forskningsprosjekt støttet av Regionalt forskningsfond Nordland. Hovedmålet med RAUS er å utvikle en sammenhengende og målrettet innsats som kan bidra til å forebygge og redusere utfordrende skolefravær.Problematisk skolefravær – årsaker, tidlig identifisering og kartlegging.

Renewable energy and industrial development in pioneering and lagging regions: the offshore wind industry in Southern Denmark and Normandy
The increasing deployment of renewable energy (RE) hinges on the development and upscaling of manufacturing and logistics capacities, offering industrial development opportunities for regions and countries. In this paper, we analyse how contextual factors pertaining to pre-existing regional assets and multi-scalar institutional environments influence RE-related industrial development at the regional scale. To this avail, we purposefully selected two contrasting regional case studies of offshore wind energy-related industry developments in Southern Denmark (a pioneering region) and Normandy (France, a latecomer region) and discuss developments until 2020. Our qualitative analysis is informed by theoretical and empirical insights from the economic geography and sustainability transitions research fields. The identified contrasting regional path creation processes reflect substantial differences in context conditions, providing insights into how regions can capture value in the ongoing energy transitions.publishedVersio
Drivers of change in Arctic fjord socio-ecological systems: Examples from the European Arctic
Fjord systems are transition zones between land and sea, resulting in complex and dynamic environments. They are of particular interest in the Arctic as they harbour ecosystems inhabited by a rich range of species and provide many societal benefits. The key drivers of change in the European Arctic (i.e., Greenland, Svalbard, and Northern Norway) fjord socio-ecological systems are reviewed here, structured into five categories: cryosphere (sea ice, glacier mass balance, and glacial and riverine discharge), physics (seawater temperature, salinity, and light), chemistry (carbonate system, nutrients), biology (primary production, biomass, and species richness), and social (governance, tourism, and fisheries). The data available for the past and present state of these drivers, as well as future model projections, are analysed in a companion paper. Changes to the two drivers at the base of most interactions within fjords, seawater temperature and glacier mass balance, will have the most significant and profound consequences on the future of European Arctic fjords. This is because even though governance may be effective at mitigating/adapting to local disruptions caused by the changing climate, there is possibly nothing that can be done to halt the melting of glaciers, the warming of fjord waters, and all of the downstream consequences that these two changes will have. This review provides the first transdisciplinary synthesis of the interactions between the drivers of change within Arctic fjord socio-ecological systems. Knowledge of what these drivers of change are, and how they interact with one another, should provide more expedient focus for future research on the needs of adapting to the changing Arctic.Drivers of change in Arctic fjord socio-ecological systems: Examples from the European ArcticpublishedVersio
