  • Pharmacists Serving Under War Conditions in Northern Norway
    PHARMACISTS SERVING UNDER WAR CONDITIONS IN NORTHERN NORWAY Klevstrand, Rolf 2609 Lillehammer, Norway This is a tale of a few pharmacists in three small towns in the northernmost part of Europe during World War Two. The towns were partly destroyed by air raids. This is of course only a small part of the long tale of sufferings during the war. A map of the Northern part of Scandinavia will show the position of the area (Fig. 1). On the map the counties of Norway are marked with different colours, Finnmark, the northernmost in light blue. Fig. 1 Like the rest of Norway Finnmark was occupied by German forces in 1940. When Germany attacked the Soviet Union in June 1941, it became part of an important war zone. The next Fig 2 map (Fig. 2) shows the short distances from the towns Vardø, Vadsø, and Kirkenes to Russia. There were German garrisons in each of them, the largest one in Kirkenes which at times had ten times as many soldiers as the local population. “Festung Kirkenes” was an important supply centre for the forces at the front in northern Russia. This made it an important target for Russian bombers. The town had not less than 328 air raids during the war. Each of the towns had one pharmacy, but there was a shortage of trained pharmacists. In 1940 the government issued a decree concerning the duty to serve for medical personnel. In accordance with this, two recently graduated male pharmacists were ordered to work in the pharmacies of Kirkenes and Vadsø from the beginning of 1944.

  • Revision of the EU's Arctic Strategy
    Sent by e-mail Breivikbotn, November 9th 2020 Input – Revision of the EU’s Arctic strategy Additional input from a total of 40 municipalities in North Norway, to the public consultation regarding the revision of the EU’s Arctic strategy. The municipalities are represented by 5 inter- municipal counsils; Vest-Finnmark Rådet (7 municipalities in Troms and Finnmark County), Vesterålen regionråd (6 municipalities in Nordland County), Salten Regionråd (10 municipalities in Nordland County), Indre Helgeland Regionråd (5 municipalities in Nordland County) and Helgelandsrådet (12 municipalities in Nordland County); 1. In your view, what have been the EU’s main achievements and failures under each of the three priorities in the 2016 Joint Communication? Vest-Finnmark Rådet, Vesterålen regionråd, Salten Regionråd, Indre Helgeland Regionråd and Helgelandsrådet embraces the EU’s engagement in promoting sustainable development in the Arctic. This priority marks a positive shift in how the Arctic is perceived as a strategically important territory, with green growth potential for the region and Europe. The EU’s top priority should be to assist the region in overcoming the Arctic paradox. That is, changing a demographic trend that is inversely correlated with economic growth. A stable demographic development is a necessary precondition for development and security in the Arctic regions. The most important means of meeting regional challenges in the Nordic/European part of the Arctic is by making use of the large natural resources in the region to stimulate economic growth and create new attractive jobs including utilizing the research institutions in the Arctic. The EU’s Arctic engagement shows great achievement, as exemplified by the processes leading to the report on Arctic investment needs in 2017, and the EU Arctic Forum in 2019.

Fast forward 16 years and Axis have the broadest range of IP video products on the market, an installation base that spans every industry segment and customers can now enjoy a far better remote monitoring experience from a mobile phone. During those 16 years, I have been privileged to work for a company that has pioneered innovation in surveillance cameras, challenged conventional thinking on how we access video surveillance and the applications it’s used for, while all along maintaining a steadfast commitment to education and raising market awareness of the benefits of IP video. As a result, Axis now hold the position as market leader in surveillance cameras, which is quite some feat as we compete with manufacturers who sell both IP and analogue cameras. Our network of passionate and proficient partners have installed Axis IP A big thank to you to all the true experts – our integrator, cameras and video encoders in every market segment imaginable across distribution, hardware and software partners – who made these Northern Europe.

  • Two Truths About Finnmark Architecture – from Norwegian Utilitarianism to Saami Mobility and Love for Nature
    DOI: 10.23817/2020.defarch.1-3 EWA CISEK ORCID: 0000-0002-7613-6612 Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Poland TWO TRUTHS ABOUT FINNMARK ARCHITECTURE – FROM NORWEGIAN UTILITARIANISM TO SAAMI MOBILITY AND LOVE FOR NATURE DWIE PRAWDY ARCHITEKTURY FINNMARKU – OD NORWESKIEJ UTYLITARNOŚCI DO SAAMSKIEJ MOBILNOŚCI I UMIŁOWANIA NATURY. Abstract The subject of the study is contemporary architecture of Finnmark, the northernmost region of Norway, where influences of two cultures, i.e. Norwegian and Sami clash. The purpose of the research is to show that both the internal truth of a work, resulting from a deep connection of the Saami culture with nature and their mobile lifestyle and the other truth – the truth of time, resulting from the utilitarian nature and simplicity of the preferred forms of Norwegians, which constitute a response to the difficult coexistence with natural elements as well as with dark circumstances that occurred in the past of this region, lie at the root of architecture of this region. They are complemented by the truth of art – cosmological and animalistic motifs reflecting the order of nature and own truths of authors of works which emphasize spectacular landscapes and phenomena of a place. Sometimes the fusion and intercultural transfer result in surprising as well as unique spatial solutions. Keywords: Norwegian architecture, architecture of the Norwegian Saami people, architecture of Finnmark Streszczenie Przedmiotem opracowania jest współczesna architektura Finnmarku, najbardziej na północ wysuniętego regionu Norwegii, gdzie ścierają się wpływy dwóch kultur: norweskiej i saamskiej. Celem badań jest wskazanie, że u źródeł architektury tego regionu leży zarówno prawda wewnętrzna dzieła, wypływa- jąca z głębokiego związku kultury Saamów z naturą i ich mobilnym trybem życia, jak i druga prawda – prawda czasu, wynikająca z utylitarności oraz prostoty form preferowanych przez Norwegów, będą- cych odpowiedzią na niełatwą koegzystencję z naturalnymi żywiołami i mrocznymi okolicznościami zaistniałymi w przeszłości tego regionu.
