  • Visuell Identitet
    VISUELL IDENTITET En sosialsemiotisk analyse av hvordan utdanningsinstitusjoners identitet kommer til uttrykk gjennom institusjonenes logo og nettside. SUSANNE OTTESEN BERGSTØL VEILEDER Anne Margit Løvland Universitetet i Agder, 2017 Fakultet for humaniora og pedagogikk Institutt for nordisk og mediefag Sammendrag Formålet med denne oppgaven er å belyse hvordan identitet kan analyseres som sosialsemiotikk og hvordan identitet kan uttrykkes gjennom semiotiske ressurser. Ved å studere et utvalg tekster knyttet til utdanningsinstitusjoner vil jeg komme frem til svar på problemstillingen “hva slags identitet kommuniserer universiteter og høyskoler gjennom kombinasjon av ulike visuelle elementer?”. Dette krever ett nærmere blikk på begrepet identitet, samt hvilke samfunnsmessige krav som stilles til utdanningsinstitusjoner. Med sosialsemiotikkens perspektiver gjør jeg en analyse av et utvalg nettsider og logoer for å se på hvilke meningsbærende ressurser de er sammensatt av. I tillegg til å studere tekstene trekker jeg inn den omkringliggende konteksten. Konteksten innebærer stortingsmeldingen ”Konsentrasjon for kvalitet” som skal bidra til å styrke utdanning og forskning. Den aktuelle situasjonskonteksten er søknadsfristen for å søke høyere utdanning. Elementer jeg ser på i analysen er logo, fargebruk og typografi fordi dette er sentrale elementer innenfor en visuell identitet. Videre ser jeg på bruk av bilder og ordbruk, da dette uttrykker noe om hvem de er som institusjon og hva slags verden de ønsker å presentere. Arbeidet viser blant

Til tross for at trafikkveksten har vært sterkere enn landssnittet har Innlandet fått enn lavere andel av veibevilgningene enn hva andelen riksveier skulle tilsi. Notatet drøfter betydningen av infrastruktur for utvalgte næringer og for regional utvikling som helhet. Til sist skisseres prognoser for trafikkutvikling, samt et trendbasert scenario, som beskriver mulige, større investeringer i infrastruktur og konsekvenser av disse.

    Antiquity 2020 Vol. 0 (0): 1–18 https://doi.org/10.15184/aqy.2020.2 Research Article Crossing the ice: an Iron Age to medieval mountain pass at Lendbreen, Norway Lars Pilø1, Espen Finstad1 & James H. Barrett2,3,* 1 Department of Cultural Heritage, Innlandet County Council, Norway 2 Department of Archaeology, University of Cambridge, UK 3 Department of Archaeology and Cultural History, NTNU University Museum, Norway * Author for correspondence: ✉ [email protected] Mountain passes have played a key role in past mobil- ity, facilitating transhumance, intra-regional travel and long-distance exchange. Current global warming has revealed an example of such a pass at Lendbreen, Norway. Artefacts exposed by the melting ice indicate usage from c. AD 300–1500, with a peak in activity c. AD 1000 during the Viking Age—a time of increased mobility, political centralisation and grow- ing trade and urbanisation in Northern Europe. Lendbreen provides new information concerning the socio-economic factors that influenced high- elevation travel, and increases our understanding of the role of mountain passes in inter- and intra- regional communication and exchange. Keywords: Scandinavia, Lendbreen, mountain passes, transhumance, Alpine travel, climate change, ice patch archaeology Introduction Like Arctic permafrost (Hollesen et al. 2018), high-elevation ice patches and glaciers are melting due to the warming global climate. Glacial archaeology has developed to rescue artefacts exposed by this process (Dixon et al. 2014), with archaeologists studying melting ice sites in North America, the Alps and Scandinavia (e.g. Hare et al. 2012;Hafner2015;Piløet al. 2018). This research is revealing past trends in high-elevation hunting, transhumance and travel asso- ciated with social, economic and ecological mechanisms.

  • Situational Awareness and Forecasting for Norway
    Situational awareness and forecasting for Norway FHI COVID-19 modelling team Week 9, 10 March 2021 Highlights: • National epidemiological situation: Our models indicate that the present situation is increas- ing, with a high level of transmission of the virus. In our changepoint model, the effective re- production number R acting from 8th of February (week 6) until today is estimated to be 1.33 (median, 95% CI 1.17-1.5). This is the highest estimated reproduction number since March 2020. The estimated probability that R is larger than 1 is 100%. This reproduction number appears stable compared to the estimate we gave last week. The SMC model estimates the 7-days averaged effective reproduction number during week 8, to be 1.1 (mean, 95% CI 0.84-1.42). In the SMC model, the estimated probability that the daily reproduction number one week ago was above 1 is 76%. The SMC model indicates a decreasing trend of the averaged effective reproduction number during weeks 7 and 8, which are the last ones we have rather complete data about. In summary, there are two processes: On one side the more infectious B.1.1.7 variant is becoming predominant in parts of Norway, something which leads to an increase in reproduction numbers; on the other side, new national and local social distancing interventions have been put in place, something that usually leads to a marked decrease of the reproduction numbers. Due to the delay between trans- mission and testing/hospitalisation, it is too early to see an effect of the interventions implemented on March 2 in the report this week.

Leders beretning I 2018 innførte Hamar bispedømmeråd den nye visjonen «Hellige rom for alminnelige liv». Visjonen er bispedømmets konkretisering av Den norske kirkes visjon og strategi. Den nye visjonen og strategiene setter retning for arbeidet fremover i bispedømmet og holder frem hvilken kirke vi ønsker å være, ved å knytte det hellige og det alminnelige sammen. Visjonen tar opp i seg begrep fra den apostoliske trosbekjennelsen, samtidig som den setter ord på den allmenne erfaringen av at det finnes hellige rom, og det folkekirkelige ønsket om at det skal være rom for alminnelige liv. Visjonen forteller om en folkekirke som formidler livets og kjærlighetens Gud og utfordrer til handling. Som gir verdighet og håp gjennom evangeliet om Jesus Kristus, og som er tilstede der mennesker er. Ut fra en helhetlig og overordnet vurdering er det god måloppnåelse på flere områder i Hamar bispedømme i 2018.
