Abstract:
Sleep health promotion is an ever-increasing subject of public discourse in Iceland. Prominent claims made include that the duration of sleep among Icelanders is shortening, and that changing sleeping habits constitute a significant public health risk. Like many aspects of healthcare, commercial interests and sales hype can skew perception. This review article will seek to shed light on the scientific background of these statements. International meta-analysis suggests there has been little change in sleep duration in adults over the past century. The duration of childrens sleep has shortened, but the consequences of this are not yet well established. Significant shortening of the sleep of adult Icelanders has not been demonstrated. No difference in sleep duration is found between Icelandic adults and adolescents and comparable groups in neighboring countries. The measurement methods that are used when comparing sleep studies are variable and can lead to different results. Associations have been established between sleep duration and adverse health outcomes, both physical and mental, but causality has not yet been established, and potential important mediators of the relationships are discussed. The circadian sleep phase of Icelanders is generally delayed relative to neighbors, likely related to Iceland‘s diurnal length variation at sub-Arctic latitudes and longitudinal discrepancies between natural light and local time.

Abstract:
The multinational retailer, Costco, opened its first store in Iceland during spring 2017. Not only was the opening greatly anticipated but following the store opening, Costco became one of the key issues in the Icelandic media. Our analysis focuses on Costco’s opening from insights derived from theories of globalization of mobility, where we emphasize that discussions about Costco in Iceland cannot be separated from the post-crash atmosphere after the massive economic crash in 2008. Our perspective is particularly influenced by Tsing’s (2005) emphasis on the unpredictability of global phenomena that move around and transplant in a new context. Our analysis both contextualize Costco’s arrival within Iceland’s historical and social context and analyzes some of the main themes in the Icelandic media discussion during the opening. The dualistic opposition of ‘us’ (Icelanders) against ‘them’ (foreigners), which has been quite salient in Iceland, were largely invisible in discussions about Costco’s opening. Costco in Iceland was quickly incorporated into a discourse as a positive force against Icelandic corruption that started after the crash. The ‘us against them’ themes thus turned from being ‘Icelanders against foreigners’ into ‘the Icelandic population against Iceland’s elite retail sector.

Abstract:
The article examines the history of the Icelandic linguistic purism (málhreinsunarstefna). For many years Icelanders have been known for their conservative attitude to any kind of foreign influence on their language. The country’s official language policy is to preserve the Icelandic language in an untouched form. To achieve that, Icelanders avoid borrowing words or grammatical structures from other languages. The study provides an outline of different undertakings aimed at preserving the Icelandic language, and presents the most important Icelandic organisations involved in language planning and key legal regulations in this area. It also describes Icelanders’ attitude to the impact of the English language.

Abstract:
Opportunities to directly study the founding of a human population and its subsequent evolutionary history are rare. Using genome sequence data from 27 ancient Icelanders, we demonstrate that they are a combination of Norse, Gaelic, and admixed individuals. We further show that these ancient Icelanders are markedly more similar to their source populations in Scandinavia and the British-Irish Isles than to contemporary Icelanders, who have been shaped by 1100 years of extensive genetic drift. Finally, we report evidence of unequal contributions from the ancient founders to the contemporary Icelandic gene pool. These results provide detailed insights into the making of a human population that has proven extraordinarily useful for the discovery of genotype-phenotype associations.

Abstract Konrad Maurer as a Backer of Icelandic Independence. Konrad Maurer, who was encouraged to study the ancient nordic sources as a student, became soon involved in Iceland's struggle for independence when he was in Denmark to prepare a journey for the purpose of studying the conditions of Icelandic living. His bonds of friendship to Jón Sigurđsson and other learned men and his journey to Iceland in 1858 opened his understanding of Icelandic political problems. In his several writings he fought for the freedom of Iceland with historical arguments. His productions – especially the book "Iceland" (1874) – made him wellknown to the Icelanders and sustained the Icelandic struggle well.

Abstract:
How did marginalized and racialized ethnic immigrants transform themselves into active, armed colonial agents in nineteenth-century Western Canada? Approximately twenty Icelanders enlisted to fight Louis Riel’s forces during the North-West Resistance in 1885, just ten years following the arrival of Icelandic immigrants in present-day Manitoba. Forty more reportedly enlisted in an Icelandic-Canadian battalion to enforce the government’s victory in the fall. This public, armed stance of a group of Icelanders against Indigenous forces in 1885 is somewhat unexpected, since most Icelanders were relatively recent arrivals in the West and, in Winnipeg, members of the largely unskilled urban working class. Moreover, they were widely rumoured among Winnipeggers to be from a “blubber-eating race” and of “Eskimo” extraction; community accounts testify to the discrimination numerous early Icelanders faced in the city. These factors initially make Icelanders unexpected colonialists, particularly since nineteenth-century ethnic immigration and colonial suppression so often appear as separate processes in Canadian historiography. Indeed, this scholarship is characterized by an enduring belief that Western Canadian colonialism was a distinctly Anglo sin. Ethnic immigrants often appear in scholarly and popular histories as sharing a history of marginalization with Indigenous people that prevented migrants from taking part in colonial displacement. Proceeding from the neglected history of Icelandic enlistment in 1885 and new developments in Icelandic historiography, this article argues that rather than negating ethnic participation in Indigenous suppression, ethnic marginality and the class tensions it created could actually fuel participation in colonial campaigns, which promised immigrants upward mobility, access to state support, and land.

Abstract:
This thesis is a contribution to the ongoing discussion of dreams in the islendingasogur. Most previous scholarship on this subject has dealt with one of the following: either attempted to identify a scheme to explain the origin of saga dreams (e.g. identifying influence from European dream-book theory on saga dreams), or attempted to explain the saga dreams using what can be referred to as the "matching approach", that is taking specific elements from the dream and seeking to understand their relevance to the rest of the text. My thesis hangs upon the following two hypotheses: 1. saga dreams are essentially inconsistent in their nature and therefore saga readers were required to bring to bear a variety of interpretative techniques when seeking to understand them, and 2. saga dreams use complex and multi-layered symbolism. The imagination of the medieval saga readership allowed and even expected dream-symbolism to operate on a number of levels and for dream-symbols to have a number of referents elsewhere in the text. In order to test these hypotheses, I have reviewed all of the dreams in all of the islendingasogur, but chosen six particular texts to seek to understand how these authors used dreams. These texts are as follows: Droplaugarsona saga; Njdls saga; Laxdoela saga; Viga-Glums saga; Gisla saga; Surssonar Hardar saga. I have devoted a chapter to each of these six sagas. For each dream I have written a 'context' that allows the dream to be understood. I have then presented a text of the dream alongside an English translation. Following this I have written a short commentary dealing with some of the textual problems in the passage, identifying the role of the dream and seeking to understand the way in which the medieval reader would have understood it, suggesting loans, analogues and analogies elsewhere in Norse literature.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of the present study was threefold. First, to investigate Icelandic and American students' counseling expectations. Second, to study counseling expectations of men and women. And finally, to explore the relationship between counseling expectations and Holland's typology. Eight-hundred-and-one useable responses were gathered from the students. To explore the first two objectives, a 2 (Nationality: Icelandic and American) x 2 (Sex: men and women) between subjects multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) was calculated with prior counseling experience as a covariate and scores on the three factor scales of the Expectations About Counseling Questionnaire-Brief Form (EAC-B) as the dependent variables. It was found that the Icelandic students expected greater expertise from the counselor than did the American students. It was also discovered that women, as compared to men, expected to be more personally committed to the counseling process, whereas men expected more counselor expertise.To investigate the third objective, a canonical correlation analysis was performed using responses to the three factor scales of the EAC-B as the predictors and scores on the six Holland's types (RIASEC) as the criterion. It was found that counseling expectations were significantly related to Holland's typology. That is, the more Social persons were the more they expected to be personally committed to counseling and the less counselor expertise they expected. Also, the more Realistic persons were the greater their expectations about counselor expertise and the lower their expectations about being personally committed to counseling. On the whole, it appeared that Icelandic students' counseling expectations resembled expectations of persons with no past counseling experience, counseling expectations of men, counseling expectations of some minority groups, and counseling expectations of individuals who tend to posses Realistic personality characteristics. Namely, expecting direction and guidance from an expert counselor. On the other hand, women and persons who tended to be Social expected less guidance from the counselor and expected to be greatly involved in the counseling process. Results were discussed in relation to past findings in the expectancy literature, the validity of the expectancy construct, and the need for unique counseling interventions to meet the needs of diverse multicultural groups.

Full text
Abstract:
Background: The main objective of this study was to investigate older people’s physical activity, their participation in various life situations, and their perceptions of their own health. This included an exploration of potential influences of urban versus rural residency on these outcomes, an evaluation of the measurement properties of a balance confidence scale, and an examination of the proposed usefulness of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) as a conceptual framework to facilitate analysis and understanding of selected outcomes. Methods: The study design was cross-sectional, population-based, with random selection from the national register of one urban and two rural municipalities in Northern Iceland. There were 186 participants, all community-dwelling, aged 65 to 88 years (mean = 73.8), and 48% of the group were women. The participation rate was 79%. Data was collected in 2004, in face-to-face interviews and through various standardized assessments. The main outcomes were total physical activity; leisure-time, household, and work-related physical activity; participation frequency and perceived participation restrictions; and self-rated health. Other assessments represented aspects of the ICF body functions, activities, environmental factors and personal factors. Moreover, Rasch analysis methods were applied to examine and modify the Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC) scale and the ICF used as a conceptual framework throughout the study. Results: The total physical activity score was the same for urban and rural people and the largest proportion of the total physical activity behavior was derived from the household domain. Rural females received the highest scores of all in household physical activity and rural males were more physically active than the others in the work-related domain. However, leisure-time physical activity was more common in urban than rural communities. A physically active lifestyle, urban living, a higher level of cognition, younger age, and fewer depressive symptoms were all associated with more frequent participation. Rural living and depressive symptoms were associated with perceived participation restrictions. Moreover, perceived participation restrictions were associated with not being employed and limitations in advanced lower extremity capacity. Both fewer depressive symptoms and advanced lower extremity capacity also increased the likelihood of better self-rated health, as did capacity in upper extremities, older age, and household physical activity. Rasch rating scale analysis indicated a need to modify the ABC to improve its psychometric properties. The modified ABC was then used to measure balance confidence which, however, was found not to play a major role in explaining participation or self-rated health. Finally, the ICF was useful as a conceptual framework for mapping various components of functioning and health and to facilitate analyses of their relationships. Conclusions: The results highlighted the commonalities and differences in factors associated with participation frequency, perceived participation restrictions, and self-rated health in old age. Some of these factors, such as advanced lower extremity capacity, depressive symptoms, and physical activity pattern should be of particular interest for geriatric physical therapy due to their potential for interventions. While the associations between depressive symptoms, participation, and self-rated health are well known, research is needed on the effects of advanced lower extremity capacity on participation and self-rated health in old age. The environment (urban versus rural) also presented itself as an important contextual variable to be aware of when working with older people’s participation and physically active life-style. Greater emphasis should be placed on using Rasch measurement methods for improving the availability of quality scientific measures to evaluate various aspects of functioning and health among older adults. Finally, a coordinated implementation of a conceptual framework such as ICF may further advance interdisciplinary and international studies on aging, functioning, and health.

Keens, L. A. "Scenes of a sexual nature : theorising representations of sex and the sexual body in the sagas of the Icelanders." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2016. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1529348/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis considers depictions of and discourse around sexual activity in the Íslendingasögur (the sagas of the Icelanders), also drawing on Eddic poetry, the samtíðarsögur (contemporary sagas), fornaldarsögur (legendary sagas) and riddarasögur (chivalric sagas) to give a broader view of sex in Old Norse literature. The Old Norse literary canon is extensive, and seduction, complicated love lives and sexual insults often lie at the heart of conflicts and fatalities. Where sex comes into focus, contextually and culturally relevant imagery and wordplay enliven the scenes, conveying the tension, humour, or erotic ambitions of the authors. The thesis explores how sex and sexuality are represented, possible reasons behind these methods, and their effect on the audience's perspectives of sex and the body. Analysis of the language and context is supported by contemporaneous literature, cognitive metaphor theory and modern theories of sexuality and anthropology, providing fresh perspectives on well-known passages in the sagas. The first chapter concentrates on sexual metaphors, offering an assessment of different aspects of sexual language that feature in the sagas and identifying common themes, from the benign and regular euphemisms for sexual intercourse, to more obscure metaphors that are highly contextualised and ambiguous. The second chapter looks at public judgement in the form of gossip, which often serves as a vehicle for sexual material, as well as the methods and motivations behind its circulation. Chapter three considers the opposite: the private discussion of sex and sexual woes, with reference to Foucault and examples of the model of confession as precedent for honest and open discussion. The final chapter looks at how sex and the sexualised body are employed as a means of entertainment, bringing slapstick humour, jokes and grotesque imagery to even the bleakest situations, thus concluding an interdisciplinary, theoretically-inflected approach to the forms and functions of sex in the sagas.

Ranković, Slavica. "The distributed author and the poetics of complexity : a comparative study of the sagas of Icelanders and Serbian epic poetry." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2006. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/12098/.

Full text
Abstract:
The thesis brings together Íslendingasögur and srpske junačke pesme, two historically and culturally unrelated heroic literatures, literatures that had, nevertheless, converged upon a similar kind of realism. This feature in which they diverge from the earlier European epics - Beowulf, Nibelungenlied, La Chanson de Roland, is the focal point of this study. Rather than examining it solely in terms of verisimilitude and historicism with which it is commonly associated, I am approaching it as an emergent feature (emergent realism) of the non-linear, evolutionary dynamics of their production (i.e. their networked, negotiated authorship), the dynamics I call the distributed author. Although all traditional narratives develop in accordance with this dynamics, their non-linearity is often compromised by Bakhtinian 'centripetal forces' (e.g. centralised state, Church) with an effect of directedness akin to the authorial agency of an individual. The peculiar weakness of such forces in the milieus in which the sagas/Serbian epics grew, encouraged their distributed nature. As a result, they come across as indexes of their own coming into being, preserving, meshing and contrasting the old and the new, the general and the more idiosyncratic perspectives on past events and characters. In so doing they fail to arouse in the recipient the feeling of being addressed and possibly manipulated by an all encompassing organising authority. As a consequence, they also impress as believable. While chapters one and two of this study deal with theoretical and aesthetic implications of the two literatures' distributed authorship and their emergent realism, chapters three and four illustrate the ways in which these are manifested in the rich texture of the past and the complex make-up of the characters. The final chapter summarises major points of the thesis and suggests the poetics of complexity as a term particularly suitable to encapsulate the two literatures' common creative principles.

Abstract:
Iceland, its history and culture were known in St. Petersburg already in the 18th century. In 1755, the first material was published in one journal, then the number of articles, books, and translations began to grow sharply. The article tells about numerous translations of monuments of ancient literature written in Old Icelandic, about the study of contacts between Icelanders and the inhabitants of Rus’/Russia over the centuries, about works devoted to the Old Icelandic language, as well as modern Icelandic. The period in the second half of the 20th century was very fruitful, when a large group of philologists and translators worked in the city, who made a great contribution to familiarizing Russians with the culture of Iceland for the benefit of the development of Russian-Icelandic relations.

Abstract:
Old Norse nicknames (both ordinary and in the form of prepositive name extensions) found in written sources should not be transliterated, but translated for a better understanding of plot twists and turns and ease of perception of the text by a Russianspeaking reader. In view of the relative small size of the Old Icelandic society, the same Icelanders are not only mentioned in the Landnámabók (‘The Book of Settlements’), but also act as characters in various Icelandic family sagas, which, in turn, have several independent translations into Russian. A comparative analysis of the material of the family sagas and the Landnámabók helps to choose the most appropriate version of the translation of nicknames (especially in the case of polysemy of roots), and the presence of a commentary in problem situations will allow the Russian-speaking reader to identify the carriers of these nicknames.

Abstract:
The paper examines the perception of time in the Old Icelandic ‘chronicle’ Hungrvaka ‘Awakening hunger’ (13th century) in the aspect of the correlation of local and foreign traditions of time counting and time markers. The paper discusses the specifics of usage of natural temporal names (winter and summer, day and night, etc.), indications of the time of power and death of foreign and Icelandic leaders, the role of genealogies and chronology ‘from the Birth of Christ’, as well as that of church holidays. The author comes to the conclusion about the combination in this work of the old local tradition, dating back to oral literary activity, and a new foreign tradition that came from Latin sources along with the introduction of Christianity. It is argued that the temporal characteristic of Hungrvaka is not reducible to a chronical list of years. A significant place is occupied in it by the ‘natural’ (often specific) and ‘genealogical’ perception of time (characteristic of the tribal community, which did not know the state and royal power), which brings this work closer to the family sagas. At the same time, the correlation of the time of power and death of the Icelandic bishops (and also that of the secular leaders of Iceland) with the time of the power and death of foreign leaders, as well as with the chronology ‘from the Birth of Christ’ serves to elevate Icelanders and Iceland in a world-historical perspective.
