Foreløpig forslag til system for typifisering av norske ferskvannsforekomster og for beskrivelse av referansetilstand, samt forslag til referansenettverk
No full textInnføringen av Rammedirektivet for vann ("Vanndirektivet") medfører at Norges vannforekomster innen utgangen av 2004 skal inndeles og beskrives etter gitte kriterier. Et av kriteriene er en typeinndeling etter fysiske og kjemiske faktorer. Denne typeinndelingen danner grunnlaget for overvåkning og bestemmelse av økologisk referansetilstand for påvirkede vannforekomster. Vanndirektivet gir valg mellom å bruke en predefinert all-europeisk typologi ("System A"), eller å etablere en nasjonal typologi som forutsettes å gi bedre og mer relevant beskrivelse enn den all-europeiske, og som må inneholde visse obligatoriske elementer ("System B"). Denne rapporten presenterer et forslag til nasjonal typologi for elver og innsjøer, delvis basert på et nordisk samarbeid. Den ligger nokså nær system A, men med tilpasninger til norske og nordiske forhold. Rapporten inneholder også elementer av metodeutvikling for å bestemme referansetilstanden for de aktuelle vanntypene, og angir mulige elver og innsjøer som kan inngå i et framtidig referansenettverk. Inndelingskriteriene i typologien er: Geografisk region (fire klasser), høyde (lavland/skog/høyfjell) og geologi/geokjemi (kalk/ikke-kalk og humus/klarvann). For elver inngår i tillegg nedbørfeltstørrelse (fire klasser), og for innsjøer areal (fire klasser) og middeldyp (tre klasser). I det videre karakteriseringsarbeidet kan det bli aktuelt med en underinndeling av noen av klassene
Enkel overvåking av Bergesvatnet, Bømlo kommune, 2001
No full textVannkvaliteten i Bergesvatnet på Bømlo var ennå dårligere i 2001 enn den har vært de siste 10 år, med totalfosfor på 17 µg/l, total nitrogen på 892 µg/l, klorofyll a konsentrasjon på ca. 7 µg/l og siktedyp på ca. 3 m. Dette tilsvarer klasse III, mindre god, i SFTs klassifikasjonssystem for vannkvalitet i ferskvann. Innsjøen var totalt dominert av blågrønnalger i perioden juni - september, men algetoksiner ble ikke påvist. Så lenge denne typen alger dominerer i innsjøen, vil likevel faren for toksinproduksjon alltid være tilstede. For å få en forbedring av vannkvaliteten i Bergesvatnet er det nødvendig å redusere næringssalttilførslene. Tilførselskildene bør kvantifiseres og en tiltaksplan utarbeides. For å få et sikrere datagrunnlag for en slik tiltaksplan bør innsjøen overvåkes med høyere frekvens (hver 14. dag fra mai-oktober) og flere parametre enn det som har vært gjort hittil
An Independent Review of Monetary Policy and Institutions in Norway
No full textThe Centre for Monetary Economics (CME) at the Norwegian School of Management BI has for the third time invited a committee of economists for Norges Bank Watch, with the objective to evaluate the monetary-policy regime in Norway and Norges Bank’s conduct of monetary policy. The new committee for Norges Bank Watch 2002 consists of Professor Lars E.O. Svensson (chair), Princeton University, Chief Economist Kjetil Houg, Alfred Berg, Doctorate Student Haakon O.Aa. Solheim, Norwegian School of Management BI, and Professor Erling Steigum, Norwegian School of Management BI. The aim of Norges Bank Watch is to contribute to the general discussion on monetary policy and institutions among the political system, the academic community and other interested parties. Two years ago, Norges Bank Watch 2000 suggested that the Bank’s actual interpretation of its stable exchange-rate mandate should be formalized as a flexible inflation-targeting regime. In March 2001, the government introduced a formal inflation target regime. As was the case in last year’s report, we do not have the ambitions to suggest another major change of the system, but we hope to highlight important aspects of the present regime and we recommend a number of possible improvements of the regime.
Revidert typologi for norske elver og innsjøer
No full textRapporten representerer revidert typologi for norske elver og innsjøer i hht. resultater fra karakteriseringsarbeidet fase 1. Økoregioner og høyderegioner er justert, og skillet mellom hurtigstrømmende og sakteflytende elvestrekninger er fjernet, mens enkelte nye typer har kommet til. Etter revisjonen finnes det inntil 24 antatt vanlige innsjøtyper og 18 antatt vanlige elvetyper pr. økoregion. Det vil fortsatt finnes sjeldne vanntyper som ikke er angitt i typetabellene. Typologien bør valideres etter neste fase av karakteriseringsarbeidet, og vil måtte revurderes i forbindelse med utvikling av det nye klassifikasjonssystemet for fastsettelse av økologisk status

Women, war and sport: the battle of the 2019 Solheim Cup
No full textOne of the most significant and/or prevalent symbols of nationhood is to be found in the international (men's) sporting arena. Sport is often imbued with notions of national identity and war, although the sport of golf is generally devoid of flags and nationalistic tendencies and is thus often considered relatively insignificant in inculcating national sentiments – except in the exceptional cases of team golf events such as the Solheim Cup. This paper considers the way in which the competitors in the 2019 Solheim Cup were represented in the British print media. Results highlights that national identity is a key descriptor of the female competitors, legitimising their position in the battlefield of international sport. We conclude that, in an era of increasing significance of women’s sport, there exists an ideological space for women to be seen as 'proxy warriors' in sport
Selling Scotland? Selling women’s golf? The 2019 Solheim Cup in the 'Home of Golf'
No full textIn 2019, Scotland played host to the Solheim Cup, a competition contested by leading women professional golfers representing Europe and the United States. The event was given further political significance by the fact that it took place in the same year as the United Kingdom left the European Union against the wishes of the majority of Scots who had voted in the 2016 referendum on EU membership. This paper examines the significance of the 2019 Solheim Cup with specific reference to the quasi-mythical status of golf in Scotland and the use of sports events by the Scottish Government and the organisation responsible for Scotland’s tourism strategy, VisitScotland, to enhance the country’s image and attract visitors, particularly from overseas. Initially, discussion focuses on the historical roots of golf in Scotland, and its quasi-mythical claim to be the ‘Home of Golf’, a key motif in the nation’s sports tourism strategy. Attention then turns to a critical examination of contemporary sport tourism policy in Scotland, focusing upon the nation’s use of international sporting events as part of this broader strategy. To this end, we scrutinise the discursive strategies used by Scottish politicians and policymakers in relation to the 2019 Solheim Cup, exploring the extent to which the event effectively tackled the explicit goals of: a) promoting Scottish values; b) demonstrating the nation’s capabilities for hosting sporting events; c) cementing Scotland’s reputation as the home of golf; and, d) tackling socio-economic and gendered inequalities with regards to golf participation in Scotland
Late Weichselian glaciation of the northern Barents Sea - a discussion
No full textThe Holocene age of the raised beaches in eastern Svalbard combined with the wide distribution of only a thin veneer of glacigenic sediments in the northern Barents Sea strongly indicate the existence of a Late Weichselian ice sheet in the region (Salvigsen 1981; Elverh~i& Solheim 1983; Solheim et al. 1988) (Figs. 1 & 2). However, the maximum extent of the ice sheet, the timing and pattern of deglaciation are still much debated. Moraine ridges in the southwestern marginal parts of the Barents Sea may indicate a coalescence of the Fennoscandian and Svalbard/northern Barents Sea ice sheet covering the entire shelf (Vorren & Kristoffersen 1986). Ridge complexes fringing the northern Barents Sea bank areas at 25& 300m water depth may represent a major stage during the retreat, or alternatively represent the maximum extent (Elverhbi & Solheim 1983)
Proposal for design of a Norwegian Monitoring Network for Reference Sites
No full textThe present report is a proposal for a preliminary design of a monitoring programme for reference sites for all surface water categories compatible with the requirements in the EU Water Framework Directive. The proposal includes preliminary recommendations of number of sites, parameters, sampling frequency and monitoring intervals. The total number of sites proposed is approximately 400 lakes, 250 river sites and 250 coastal water sites distributed in different ecoregions and types. A tentative budget suggests annual costs for the initial 6-years’ period of 140 mill. NOK, with 30, 20 and 90 mill. NOK for lakes, rivers and coastal waters respectively. For the consequtive monitoring periods, the annual costs decrease to ca. 28 mill. NOK, in which lakes, rivers and coastal waters require respectively 7.5, 5 and 15 mill. NOK. The costs can be further reduced by combining the reference network with ongoing and planned monitoring in Norway and in other Nordic countries
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
