It includes experimental and theoretical nuclear physics, as „ci: as other fields of physics in which members of the section have participated. The report describes completed projects and work currently in progress. The experimental activities in nuclear physics have, as in the previous years, mainly been ccnicrcd around the Cyclotron Laboratory with the SCANDITRONIX MC-35 Cyclotron. Using the CACTUS multidctcctor system, several experi­ ments in collaboration with the nuclear physics group at the University of Bergen have been completed. Some results have been published and were also presented at the international conference in Oak Ridge, U.S.A., while more data remains to be analyzed. The cyclotron has continued to work satisfactorily due to the untiring effort of E.A. Olsen. The excellent job done by him, J. Wiknc and T. Ramsøy in keeping the accelerator and data system in operation is highly appreciated by all of us. The collaboration with foreign laboratories has continued in 1990. We participate in the Nordic collaboration, NORDBALL, at the Niels Bohr Tandem Accelerator Laboratory in Risø. Members of the section also participate in experiments at the Darcsbury Laboratory, England, GSI, Darmstadt, Germany, and KVI, Groningen, Netherlands. In the fall Tore Ramsøy was awarded the degree Dr. Scicnt. The title of his thesis is: Spectroscopy High Above the Yrast Line in Rare Earth Nuclei At the end of 1990 10 students (for the degree Cand. Scicnt.) and three post­ graduate students (for the degree Dr. Scicnt.) were associated with the section. While the University covers the basic costs of running the cyclotron laboratory, the experimental activities would not have been possible without the contin­ ued support from the Norwegian Research Council for Science and Humanities (NAVF). Support from the Nordic Committee for Accelerator-Based Research (NOAC) and the Nordic Institute of Theoretical Atomic Physics (NORDITA) is also gratefully acknowledged. The work in energy research is supported by 5 NAVF and the Council Tor Agricultural Research. Finally, the efforts of Torgeir Engeland, h' gne Guttormsen and Tore Ramsey who have served as editors of this report, are appreciated by the other members of the Section.

Mcsscll No major replacements or modifications of the cyclotron or the beam lines has been done in 1990. Approximately 80 days have been used for schedu'ed and un­ scheduled maintenance. Problems have mostly been connected with the cooling systems and the KF-sysiems. The total beam lime for nuclear experiments in 1990 was 396 hours, 'He beam was accelerated most of the lime. The cyclotron was also used 23 times, a total of 36 hours, by the nuclear chemistry group for isotope production. 3.2 A Universal, Low-level and High Frequency Multi­ plexer System for Operator Supervision J. Wiknc The increasing complexity of the beam line at the Cyclotron lab gave rise to the need for a new multiplexer system for both beam measurement points and video cameras. Commercial solutions were both costly and not particularly well suited to our requirement. One single design of K-channel multiplexers takes care of both these needs, i.e. currcnu in Ihc sub-nA range and frequencies of several MHz. Several units may be cascaded. Two multiplexers fit onto a 19" rack front pan.! only 30 mm high. The inputs and outputs arc BNC contacts at the rear of the design. The channels arc selected electronically by means of lighted push-buttons on the Cyclotron control desk, same type as those used in most other contexts at the lab. 9 Chapter 4 Data Acquisition and Analysis 4.1 Introduction 'I'hc dala acquisition syMc:,i at the Oslo Cycloirun Laboratory may be divided into two major componcnls: • A fmnl-cnd system responsible fur data digitali/ation, read-out and for­ maning.

  • The Normative Views of Climate Scientists and Their Bearing on Philosophy
    Value-Free yet Policy-Relevant? The Normative Views of Climate Scientists and Their Bearing on Philosophy Torbjørn Gundersen Centre for the Study of Professions, OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University ARENA – Centre for European Studies, University of Oslo This article contributes to the philosophical debate on values in science by exploring how scientists themselves understand the proper role of moral, political, and social values in expert practice. I present findings from interviews with climate scientists who have participated as authors in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The climate scientists subscribe to the value-free ideal as a reg- ulative ideal that applies both to the provision of knowledge to policymakers and how they engage with political issues in the public sphere. Yet their views on the moral responsibility of scientists and the aim of providing policy-relevant output challenge the value-free ideal. The article suggests ways in which their views can be relevant to the philosophical discussion. Keywords: value-free ideal, expert role, IPCC, climate science-moral re- sponsibility, policy relevance, interview study This article has benefited from comments by Edmund Henden, Silje Maria Tellmann, Anders Molander, Marte Mangset, Kjartan Koch Mikalsen, Andreas Eriksen, and Nils Roll-Hansen (whose idea it also was to perform an empirical study of climate scientists). I would like to thank my colleagues at the Centre for the Study of Professions, OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University and participants at the workshop The Legitimacy of Depo- liticized Decision-Making at ARENA – Centre for European Studies, University of Oslo for helpful comments. Two anonymous reviewers for this journal provided very helpful com- ments.

  • Post-War Philosophy in Norway. Problems, Achievements and Dilemmas
    FOLIA SCANDINAVICA VOL. 5 POZNAŃ 1999 POST-WAR PHILOSOPHY IN NORWAY. PROBLEMS, ACHIEVEMENTS AND DILEMMAS E w a P io tro w sk a Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań A b stra ct. The aim of the paper is to present the main trends within philosophy in Norway. The author also discusses the most important research works carried out at university centres, the goal of which is to analyse Norwegian post-war philosophy. The predominant movement, so called ‘practical philosophy’, deals with ethical, religious, political, social and economic issues. Many Norwegian philosophers are also active as university teachers or researchers at universities in Oslo (e.g. Arne Naess, Hans Skjervheim, Trond Berg Eriksen, Torstein Tollefsen, A n fin n Stigen) and in Bergen (e.g. Gunnar Skirbekk, Nils Gilje, Vigdis Songe-M0ller, Knut Erik Tran0y). Sophie’s World (Sofies verden) by Jostein Gaarder, a Norwegian philosophy teacher, has recently become a best-selling book on the Polish publishing market. The book, written in consultation with the well-known Norwegian philosopher and historian of science Trond Berg Eriksen, was published in Norway four years earlier. It presents the main achievements of human philosophical thought, with the start­ ing point in antiquity, in the plain and beautiful form of a fictionized dialogue. The book is a typical example of the modern scientific and didactic im­ perative of those preoccupied with philosophy in Norway - difficult philo­ sophical issues should be presented in such a way that they become read­ able and comprehensible for a wide audience. What’s more, they should provide some signposts for average people who think and reflect critically upon the self and the external world.
