This work was done in connection to my master thesis in archaeology, about Vardø in the middle ages. For this to be done I did a type determination by performing a macroscopic analysis. The main focus in my master was to study pottery from the middle ages to answer my thesis question about Vardø´s role during this time. With input and help from Volker Demuth, Reidar Bertelsen, and Natascha Mehler.
This documentation data set is part of a larger collection: Martine F. Lahti, 2022, "Vardø Potsherd Collection", https://doi.org/10.18710/YRDR-5D21, DataverseNO.[Thesis abstract:] At 70 degrees North and 31 degrees East, Vardø is the northeasternmost town in Norway. A fortress was established here already in the 13th–14th century, probably after the medieval church here was consecrated in 1307. Beneath Vardø´s city grounds cultural layers of several meters have been registered, and this has been described as Northern Norway’s only medieval urban soil. Despite these interesting archaeological factors, little excavations and research has been done, and Vardøs's status and role as a place during the Middle Ages remain uncertain. Excavations were performed in the “medieval urban soil” in 1955, 1958 and 2012. Little further research has been done on the material from the 1950s investigations, leaving lots of untouched archaeological material from this exciting town unprocessed. In this thesis I chose to examine 1587 pottery fragments from the excavations in 1955 and 1958, to investigate Vardø's role during Middle Ages. Examining the ceramics can provide answers to such issues as international contacts, status, eating habits, what types of activity that has taken place and what type of people that that have lived in different areas of the town. I performed a thorough analyses, photographic documentation and classification of every sherd, which is made available for future research in a database at UiT Open Research Data (Lahti 2021). The results of the study show few traces of medieval activity in what has been understood as the medieval urban area. There is an increasing amount of pottery in these areas from the early modern period (from ca. AD 1550), particularly consisting of cooking pots. In the area from the medieval fortress, on the other hand, there is a sudden increase in medieval pottery in the 15th century, and tableware of high value dominates the assemblage here. Among the finds is a rare vessel of the German Waldenburg type, Igelgefäß. This vessel type has never been found in Norway before and appears to have been a rare and highly valued type all of Europe. The pottery from Vardø gives no indication that Vardø can be called a town during the Middle Ages. Rather, it can be compared to the “urban fishing village” of Vågan in Lofoten, as it seems like Vardø had a somewhat changing status during this period. The fortress has led to some urban features to Vardø, but the rest of Vardø seems to be a large fishing village. The rare Igelgefäß pottery, indicates that an elite with an important network inhabited the fortress. The rare shard found on this small island, in the northeasternmost town of Norway, may also indicate a direct contact between Vardø and Germany.</p
Experimental data for 'Reconstruction of Surface Pressures on Flat Plates Impacted by Blast Waves Using the Virtual Fields Method'
No full textMeasurements on a flat steel plate were conducted in order to demonstrate a novel approach to reconstruct full-field pressure distributions on said plate using the virtual fields method (VFM).
Pressure was applied using SIMLab Shock Tube Facility at the Department of Structural Engineering, NTNU specialized on blast wave generation.
Deflectometry was used to measure time-resolved slope changes on the plate surface.
Background Oriented Schlieren was used to visualize the approaching blast wave.
The shock tube exit was modified with 3 different blockages to change the symmetry of the generated blast waves.
Pressure transducer measurements were conducted to compare the VM pressure reconstructions to an established technique.
This dataset contains the experimental data acquired during the blast tests on the steel plate.</p
Replication Data for: Integrating problem-based learning with international internships in business education

Abstract: The literature on international business teaching has contributed to the development of international internships as a learning pedagogy through three key areas: making sense of the students’ developed competences and prospective added employment value following their participation in international internships, the role of support structures in the organization of internships abroad, and more recently the pedagogical design of internships abroad. Thus, more recent research has taken a critical stance toward internships as a learning form, as serious gaps exist in the pedagogical elements required to connect internships with the broader theoretical elements of international business programs. The present study addresses these gaps through two research questions: i) How can educators design and implement problem-based international internships in business education? ii) What adjustments does the combination of these two active learning experiences in business education demand for small business schools, partner universities, and hosting organizations? The paper presents pedagogical action research that was conducted over two courses for international business internships in a Norwegian-Brazilian context for bachelor’s and master’s students. It contributes to the international business teaching literature in the following ways: First, the validated teaching framework argues for international internships that are linked to loosely defined problems at the host organization, which the student self-scopes and connects based on their theoretical knowledge from other courses. Second, by providing an in-depth discussion of problem-based learning and its applicability in international business practicums, we address the existing gap in the field regarding the pedagogical foundations of how students connect theory to practice during international internships. Third, the framework serves as a practical guideline for teaching and administrative staff who wish to develop international internship programs at home universities, supporting their ability to connect the practical aspects established in the literature with the additional organizational requirements arising from working with hosting organizations overseas.</p
Replication Data for: The trajectory of the “Možno ja X?” construction: Variation in speech acts of request in contemporary Russian
No full textThis dataset concerns the data for the article that covers the topic of variation in speech acts of request with the modal word možno in Russian. I explore the ongoing language change in which the impersonal modal word možno ‘can, be possible’ takes a personal clause (možno + NOM) as its complement instead of the Experiencer in the Dative case (možno + DAT) and the infinitival clause in the speech act of request in Contemporary Russian. The corpus-based evidence reveals that the construction možno + DAT is gradually being replaced by možno + NOM. I discuss various syntactic and pragmatic factors such as verb class, aspect, transitivity and politeness strategies that motivate the choice of a modal construction. Methods of statistical modelling, used to sort out the most significant factors contributing to the choice of construction, show that the most important factor is the date of creation of the text

Replication Data for: 'Perceptie van een anderstalig accent: Een experimentele studie naar de perceptieve aanpassing aan een exogeen geaccentueerd Nederlands klinkercontrast'
No full textDataset abstract
This dataset contains the results from 100 native (L1) Dutch speakers from Flanders (Belgium). These participants completed a (i) lexical decision task and a (ii) phoneme categorisation task. In the lexical decision task, participants were exposed to the accented speech of one Italian L1 speaker of Dutch who pronounced 40 target words with either canonical productions of the /ɪ/-vowel but ambiguous realisations of the /i/-vowel (e.g., vlinder 'butterfly' as [ˈvlɪn.dər], but diefstal 'theft' as [ˈdi/ɪf.stɑl]), or vice versa. Participants’ comprehension of the target words was measured in terms of word endorsement (i.e. accepting or rejecting target words as real Dutch words) and response time (i.e. the time interval between the end of stimulus presentation and participant response). The phoneme categorisation task, then, was used to verify if the Dutch L1 listeners are able to identify the two phonemes correctly and if they perceive the ambiguous sounds as pronunciation variants of one of the front vowels. If so, the participants are expected to identify the ambiguous vowels in minimal /ɪ/-/i/ words (e.g., bid-bied 'pray'-'bid') predominantly as either /ɪ/ or /i/, depending on whether the /ɪ/- or /i/-words contained ambiguous vowels in the lexical decision task.
Article Abstract
Listeners can usually effortlessly cope with the extreme acoustic variability of spoken language. Although accented speech might initially pose a challenge, listeners have been shown to rapidly adjust their perceptual system in response to atypical sound productions in the auditory input by exploiting prior lexical knowledge (i.e., lexically-guided perceptual learning). Here, we aimed to gain further insight into how Dutch L1 listeners adapt to Italian accented Dutch front vowels, and how short-term experience with one L2 speaker’s accent might help these listeners to interpret novel words and another L2 speaker’s accent. Therefore, 100 Dutch-speaking Belgian participants were exposed to 40 Dutch target words with either /ɪ/ or /i/ as syllable nucleus. All stimuli were produced by a female native speaker of Italian who is highly proficient in Dutch, but has a noticeable Italian accent. There were two exposure conditions: participants either heard target words in which the /ɪ/-sound was replaced by an ambiguous sound in between [ɪ]-[i] and canonically produced /i/-words (/ɪ/-ambiguous condition), or the exact opposite pattern (/i/-ambiguous condition). To assess perceptual learning, participants needed to identify the front vowel in five Dutch /ɪ/-/i/ minimal pairs across two speaker conditions: listeners either heard stimuli produced by the same female speaker or stimuli produced by a male-sounding speaker, whose voice was created from the female speaker’s voice using the ‘change gender’ function in Praat. Neither for the female speaker nor for the male-sounding speaker did we observe auditory perceptual learning effects. That is, participants did not identify the ambiguous vowel in the minimal pairs significantly differently depending on the exposure condition to which they had been assigned. Suggestions for future research are proposed on how to obtain a better understanding of how native speakers process L2 accented speech.</p
