Er det forskjell i koffeinmengde mellom presskannekaffe og traktekaffe?
Full text linkSiden 1980-tallet har presskannen vært den andre mest populære redskapet å brygge kaffe med, etter kaffetrakteren. Det er vist i tidligere studier at forskjellige bryggemetoder påvirker kaffens koffeininnhold og andre faktorer som tanniner og fettsyrer. I denne studien ble det undersøkt om presskannekaffe har høyere koffeininnhold enn traktekaffe. 10 liter med begge kaffe-løsningene ble tilberedt og deretter redusert til 1 liter. Koffeinet ble ekstrahert og deretter veid for å sammenlignes. Det ble ikke observert forskjell i koffeininnhold mellom kaffetypene. I tillegg ble ikke renheten på koffeinet undersøkt. Dette gjør det vanskelig å si hvor representativt resultatet er basert på datautvalget og den kjemiske analysen fra studien. Ut ifra denne studien ble det ikke konkludert med at det er en forskjell i koffeinmengde mellom traktekaffe og presskanne-kaffe
The birth of modern Norwegian police law
Full text linkIn the article ‘Norwegian police law, crime prevention and its (need for more) democratic legitimacy’ John Reidar Nilsen argues that Norwegian police law has lacked democratic legitimacy, and in some respects still does. According to Nilsen the patriarchal form of police law in the Danish-Norwegian absolute monarchy continued to make its mark on police law in the Norwegian constitutional state, resulting in a lack of democratic legitimacy. Although questions concerning the democratic legitimacy and legality of police law should be discussed, and Nilsen on several points makes interesting contributions to such a discussion, his historical narrative does not give an accurate description of the features of police law in the transition from autocracy to the Norwegian constitutional state. Police law and the legal understanding of it changed throughout the autocracy and from the latter part of the 18th century, it was shaped in line with new European ideas about state, popular government, and legal order. Instead of seeing the first understanding of police law in the Norwegian constitutional state as a legacy from the autocracy, it should rather be seen as the birth of modern Norwegian police law
Holocaust Denial as Memory Criminal Law Seen Through the Nordic Lenses
Full text linkDealing with historical matters by means of law has become increasingly common. The matters, such as the Holocaust, that have merited the attention of legislatures are, however, exceptional. The painful memory of the horrible events has required a profound rethinking of the basic premises of political and legal life in Europe.
When criminal law is being used to protect the memory of those facts and of the victims of the offences, we enter a level of highly symbolical legislation. In Continental Europe, the discussions concerning criminalisation of Holocaust denial emerged in the 1970’s, and in the 1990’s criminalising was already in full swing.
The Nordic countries have been slow in joining such developments. In this paper we will try to bring the Nordic countries on this map by introducing some of these discussions to the Nordic scholarly audience, but also by reporting to the international scholarly community about some Nordic and particularly Finnish aspects of those subject issues. It is time for Nordic criminal law scholars to join these debates and to bring in viewpoints on the basis of Nordic criminal law and theorising. This article aims at contributing to such a discussion
Curupira
No full text“Curupira” was shot along the Javari Valley, the border region of Peru and Brazil. The story follows Arturo, a local riverine, as he paddles through the darkness in pursuit of the elusive Curupira — a mythological creature deeply ingrained in the region\u27s folklore.
Throughout the film, Arturo unveils Curupira\u27s ambiguous nature and its crucial role in managing the relationship between humans and the fauna and flora. As the narrative progresses, we are offered a glimpse into Arturo\u27s childhood, we learn about the transformation of the forest into maize plantations and aviaries, and the cunning exploitation of the Curupira myth by loggers and hunters to justify and legitimise extraction.
This film is a compelling account of the intricate relationship between culture and ecology in the Amazon region, how environmental transformation is rendered intelligible, and provide fresh insights into how myths can be co-opted, not least (re)created into new syntheses.

A Change of Plans and A New Venue of Possibility: Sensory Friendly Concerts Go Virtual
No full textThe sensory friendly concert (SFC) represents an increasingly popular effort toward engaging the autism community in live music performances by promoting inclusive practices and offering specialized accommodations to counter what many consider the rigidity of concert etiquette. The authors explore academic and historical perspectives on SFCs and seek to highlight best practices for the design and facilitation of inclusive community music events in live and virtual settings. Drawing upon the experience of adapting a planned in-person protocol to the virtual setting, the authors explore benefits that extend far beyond the autism community. In addition to providing an environment in which self-expression, diversity, and community are celebrated, SFCs can serve as a transition-oriented therapeutic intervention aimed at promoting progress toward goals related to independent living and musical participation in the broader society, including school and community ensembles
Selection of territorial habitat in a declining population of Lapland Longspurs (Calcarius lapponicus)

The population of Lapland Longspur Calcarius lapponicus has declined drastically in the Scandinavian mountains over the last decades. One hypothesis is that the population decline has been caused by a change in vegetation composition, specifically an increase in lichen cover leading to a possible decrease in seed-producing plants. We tested the hypothesis by recording vegetation composition inside and outside Lapland Longspur territories in a 10 km2 study area at Hardangervidda, southern Norway, where longspurs previously bred in high numbers. Vegetation composition was recorded by percentage coverage in 295 1 x 1 m quadrats laid out evenly over the study area and compared to a similar treatment of 85 points inside 17 territories of Lapland Longspurs. No difference in lichen coverage or coverage by seed-producing plants was found inside versus outside territories. Instead, Lapland Longspurs were found to establish their territories in the upper part of the study area, where the snow melts earlier. Also, the occupied territories had an orientation towards the sun (sector S–W). Precipitation has increased strongly in the western parts of the Scandinavian Peninsula in recent decades. Falling as snow in the mountains, the increased precipitation leads to delays in spring thaw which could reduce the availability of breeding habitat for Lapland Longspurs during territorial establishment. We suggest that changes in spring conditions could be responsible for the species’ population decline in the western parts of the Scandinavian Peninsula
Postmodern Music Therapy: A Proposed Paradigm Shift Away from the Medical Model of Disability and Toward an Intersectional Understanding
No full textPostmodern music therapy is an approach to music therapy that defines itself in diametric opposition to modernist, or medical-model, music therapy. Where modernist music therapy ignores power dynamics and assumes itself to be value neutral, postmodern music therapy is concerned with power dynamics between client, therapist, and broader society. Postmodern music therapy is based on the theories of Bradley Lewis: Lewis (2006) believes that a postmodern psychiatry (or as he calls it, postpsychiatry) will be more aware of politics and social structures in general and will move toward democratization. This article proposes a postmodern music therapy in parallel to postpsychiatric ideas and ideals. Further, the article explores the intersectional nexus between postmodern music therapy and critical race, disability, queer, and feminist studies
Language competences in lower secondary French-as-a-foreign language classrooms
No full textCurrent language education policies in Europe place a strong emphasis on skills and the ability to use language to interact with others. The Companion volume to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages even states that in an action-oriented approach to language learning, “competence exists only in action”, thus rejecting the traditional competence/performance dichotomy (Council of Europe 2020, 139). In such an educational context, what is the role of language competences (i.e. grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation) in the language classroom? This article presents a classroom research study of French-as-a-foreign-language teaching in lower secondary schools in Norway. 45 French lessons in six schools were video recorded and analyzed to examine how and to what extent six teachers and their learners worked explicitly with the three components of linguistic competence. The findings show that grammar and vocabulary are explicitly taught in most classrooms, whereas pronunciation is rarely explicitly addressed
Kartlegging av storsalamander og habitatforhold nær utbygging i Ås kommune
Full text linkDenne studien har kartlagt forekomst av storsalamander (Triturus cristatus) i to dammer på Nylenna i Ås kommune gjennom reproduksjonssesongen 2022. Studien har tre hypoteser: at det lever en samlet storsalamanderbestand på Nylenna, at aktiviteten i dammene er størst rundt midten av reproduksjonssesongen (mai) og at amfibiebiotopen er i god tilstand. Storsalamanderne ble fanget to påfølgende netter i uka, fra 22. april til og med 12. juni, med fem feller i hver dam. Om morgenen ble storsalamanderne telt, kjønnsbestemt og fotografert, og senere identifisert med bildeanalyse. Bildeanalysen påviste vandringer mellom yngledammene, hvilket muliggjør genetisk utveksling. Dermed utgjør storsalamanderne en samlet bestand estimert til 176 individer. Storsalamanderfangsten var størst i mai, som indikerer høyere aktivitet. Yngledammene oppfylte habitatkrav for dybde, vegetasjon, pH og temperatur. Studien styrket altså alle hypotesene: det lever en samlet storsalamanderbestand på Nylenna, aktivitetsnivået i dammene er størst midt i reproduksjonssesongen og amfibiebiotopen er i god tilstand
