Remarks at the opening of a workshop, sponsored by the U.S. National Science Foundation, and held in Oslo, Norway, from 12-13 May 2015, to discuss the historic place names of the High Arctic archipelago of Franz Josef Land. The visiting students from Penn State University, none of whom had ever before been to Europe, were anxious to hear how Dr. Barr, a native of the United Kingdom, had come to Norway and made a life for herself in a different country with a different language, as a female in a then-largely male universe of polar research, and, in a nation of hunters, as a vegetarian.

Abstract:
Effective management of the urban forest calls for municipalities to have a tree inventory of their urban resource. The approach to urban forestry is rather different in Europe and North America, both in terms of background and culture. This contribution discusses similarities and differences in tree inventory practices, based on a pilot study of three major cities in North America (Toronto, Ontario, Canada; and Boston, Massachusetts and New York City, New York, U.S.) and three major cities in Northern Europe (Oslo, Norway; and Aarhus and Copenhagen, Denmark).

The second wave of black metal, with its most notorious moments emanating from the Oslo-centred scene of the early 1990s, was somewhat inevitably a media phenomenon in its native Norway, as the extensive television and newspaper coverage of the time demonstrates. Here the mores and certainties of social democratic Norway were turned upside down in a fashion every bit as inverted as the crosses that loom large in the sub-genre’s iconography. Yet while church arson, murder and a provocative mix of paganism, Satanism and even fascism provided ‘good box office’ in Norway, as some

ABSTRACT This article describes a probabilistic site-response analysis for the city of Oslo, Norway. We first perform a probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) for hard rock. Then, we conduct site-response analyses using Monte Carlo simulations to capture uncertainty in the site profile. We include four base-case soil profiles to incorporate epistemic uncertainty, and we vary the shear-wave velocity profile and shear-modulus reduction and damping curves to account for aleatory variability. We base the soil profiles on over 7000 in situ tests, and the shear-wave velocity profile median, st

Abstract:
AbstractFrom the mid-1800s to the late 1960s, conservation by alum salts (KAl(SO4)2·12H2O—potassium aluminium sulphate), using various recipes, was a common method to prevent shrinkage and to strengthen waterlogged archaeological wooden objects. This method was mainly used in Scandinavia. The alum method appears to have also been applied to highly degraded archaeological waterlogged wood in other countries, for example in the U.S and Germany. Today, many of the archaeological wooden objects treated with alum show extreme deterioration and very low pH, which are attributed to the effects of the

We also encounter the male protagonists of Jørgen Tesman and Eilert Løvborg. These are two historians with opposing attitudes to the nature, worth, and relevance of their work.

No longer do the weak, the frail, and the injured die. Now it is those with technology who thrive, those without who do not: Whether desirable or not, it is the state to which we have now evolved.

It is also recognized that there is a more emotive side to having normal skin, however, due to the prevalence of flawless skin in the media and its importance in society. This idea is addressed in turn, but with the conclusion that skin doesn’t necessarily have to look perfect in order to be healthy or normal.
