Andreas Helland (1870-1951), professor at Augsburg Seminary in Minneapolis, Minnesota
No full textAndreas Helland (1870-1951) was a professor at Augsburg Seminary from 1905 to 1940. He was the author of an early definitive history of Augsburg Seminary titled Augsburg seminar: gjennem femti aar 1869-1919. He also edited George Sverdrup\u27s collected works and in 1947 wrote a biography of Sverdrup titled Georg Sverdrup: The Man and His Message. Helland was very mission-minded and served the Lutheran Board of Missions as secretary (1907-1919), treasurer (1925-1929), and secretary-treasurer (1933-1946).

The usability of a Norwegian adaptation of the Childrens Communication Checklist Second Edition (CCC-2) in differentiating between language impaired and non-language impaired 6-to 12-year-olds
No full textThe usability of a Norwegian adaptation of the Childrens Communication Checklist Second Edition (CCC-2) in differentiating between language impaired and non-language impaired 6- to 12-year-olds. Scandinavian Journal of Psychology. The aim of the present study was to evaluate if the Norwegian adaptation of the Childrens Communication Checklist-2 (CCC-2) differentiates between a language impaired and a non-language impaired population and to make a first evaluation of the psychometric qualities of the questionnaire on a Norwegian sample. A total of 153 children aged 6-12 years participated in the study (45 language impaired and 108 non-language impaired). The Norwegian adaptation of the CCC-2 distinguished language impaired from non-language impaired children and thus seems to provide a useful screening tool for communication impairments in Norwegian children. The reliability of the CCC-2 appeared to be reasonable with internal consistency values ranging from 0.73 to 0.89.This is the author version of the following article:Wenche Andersen Helland, Eva Biringer, Turid Helland and Mikael Heimann , The usability of a Norwegian adaptation of the Childrens Communication Checklist Second Edition (CCC-2) in differentiating between language impaired and non-language impaired 6-to 12-year-olds, 2009, SCANDINAVIAN JOURNAL OF PSYCHOLOGY, (50), 3, 287-292.which has been published in final form at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-9450.2009.00718.xCopyright: Blackwell Publishing Ltdhttp://www.blackwellpublishing.com

Tiltaksplan for forurensede sedimenter i Oslofjorden. Fase 1. Miljøtilstand, kilder og prioriteringer
No full textForeliggende rapport har hatt som mål å sammenstille eksisterende data på miljøgifter i bunnsedimenter fra Oslofjorden ut til Moss Horten, samt skaffe oversikt over bidraget av miljøgifter til fjorden fra kilder i nedbørsfeltet. Videre var målet å peke ut potensielle høyrisikoområder og områder som har behov for kartlegging. Flere av grunnområdene i fjorden anses som potensielle høyrisikoområder (høye konsentrasjoner av miljøgifter i grunne områder med risiko for spredning, som følge av høy båtaktivitet eller friluftsliv). Det indre fjordområdet har den høyeste forurensningen. Generelt er det mangelfullt med data fra småbåthavner, områdene utenfor noen av de større elvene samt områder utenfor pågående og nedlagt industri og områder med forurenset grunn. I tillegg er det store mangler på data på tilførselsiden, særlig for organiske miljøgifter og spesielt for PCB. Tilførsler av organiske miljøgifter via vannveiene til fjorden er svært mangelfulle. Dette anses som svært viktig å prioritere slike undersøkelser får å få bekreftet / avkreftet om kildene på land er under kontroll, særlig sett i lys av kostholdsrådet for fjorden
Runaway Judges? Selection Effects and the Jury
No full textReports about runaway jury awards have become so common that it is widely accepted that the US jury system needs to be ‘fixed.’ Proposals to limit the right to a jury trial and increase judicial discretion over awards implicitly assume that judges decide cases differently than juries. We show that there are large differences in mean awards and win rates across juries and judges. But if the types of cases coming before juries are different from those coming before judges, mean award and win rates may differ even if judges and juries would make the same decisions when faced with the same cases. We find that most of the difference in judge and jury mean awards can be explained by differences in the sample of cases coming before judges and juries. On some dimensions, however, there remain robust and suggestive differences between judges and juries.

The Effect of Electoral Institutions on Tort Awards
No full textPoliticians are not neutral maximizers of the public good, they respond to incentives just like other individuals. We apply the same reasoning to those politicians in robes called judges. We argue that elected judges, particularly partisan elected judges, have an incentive to redistribute wealth from out-of-state defendants (non-voters) to instate plaintiffs (voters). The partisan electoral hypothesis is tested first using data on 75,000 tort awards from across the states. We control for differences in injuries, state incomes, poverty levels, selection effects and other factors that may cause awards to differ across the states. One difference which appears difficult to control for is that each state has its own body of tort law. We take advantage of a peculiar aspect of American Federalism to make this distinction. In cases involving citizens of different states, aptly called diversity of citizenship cases, Federal judges apply state law to decide disputes. Diversity of citizenship cases allow us to test whether differences in awards are caused by differences in electoral systems or differences in state law. The evidence from the cross-state regressions and from the diversity of citizenship cases, strongly supports the partisan election hypothesis. In cases involving out-of-state defendants and in-state plaintiffs the average award (conditional on winning) is 42% higher in partisan than in non-partisan states; approximately 2/3 rds of the larger award is due to a bias against out-of-state defendants and the remainder due to generally higher awards against businesses in partisan states.
Renegotiation Proofness and Climate Agreements: Some Experimental Evidence
No full textThe notion of renegotiation-proof equilibrium has become a cornerstone in non-cooperative models of international environmental agreements. Applying this solution concept to the infinitely repeated N-person Prisoners' Dilemma generates predictions that contradict intuition as well as conventional wisdom about public goods provision. This paper reports the results of an experiment designed to test two such predictions. The first is that the higher the cost of making a contribution, the more cooperation will materialize. The second is that the number of cooperators is independent of group size. Although the experiment was designed to replicate the assumptions of the model closely, our results lend very little support to the two predictions.
