  • Out of Area Norske Fortellinger Møter Afghanske
    Tegning: Herb Out of area Norske fortellinger møter afghanske Ingeborg Eliassen Masteroppgave i journalistikk, del 1 av 2 Institutt for medier og kommunikasjon Universitetet i Oslo 22.06.2010 1 Sammendrag Dette er en oppgave i to deler: Det journalistiske arbeidet ”Out of area. Norske fortellinger møter afghanske” og en refleksjonsrapport. Sistnevnte redegjør for metoder, sjanger og kildearbeid i prosessen med det journalistiske arbeidet – og drøfter kravet til ”objektivitet” i journalistikken. I denne manøveren har jeg vært utstyrt med noen av de teoretiske verktøyene som er utviklet på feltet og har trukket på egne erfaringer fra det journalistiske arbeidet. Før skulle den norske militærmakten brukes i eksistensiell forsvarskamp på norsk jord, altså helst aldri. De siste 15 årene er den blitt omdannet til et spisst verktøy i daglig tjeneste for det den norske utenrikspolitiske eliten definerer som norske sikkerhetsinteresser. Den viktigste av disse er å bevare et godt forhold til USA. Dermed stilles norske styrker til disposisjon for amerikanske stormaktsinteresser. Denne tenkningen har ført til at norske styrker i flere år har slåss mot opprørere i Afghanistan, et av verdens aller fattigste land. ”Out of area. Norske fortellinger møter afghanske” viser hvordan norske beslutningstakere, norske soldater og afghanske sivile ser på denne utviklingen og opplever følgene av den. I forhold til det amerikanske angrepet på Irak i 2003, var det amerikanske angrepet på Afghanistan i 2001, lite omstridt i Norge. Med utgangspunkt i det rådende kravet til journalistisk ”objektivitet”, diskuterer jeg i refleksjonsrapporten hvordan og hvorfor det var slik. Begrepet tolkningsrammer står sentralt i drøftingen. Jeg argumenterer for at en snevert og utilstrekkelig definert ”objektivitet” holder journalistikken fast i forståelser, tolkningsrammer, av denne krigen som hindrer grunnleggende debatt, marginaliserer alternative stemmer og tjener krigsinteresser heller enn en stadig mer global offentlighet.

  • Indigenous House Mice Dominate Small Mammal Communities in Northern Afghan Military Bases
    Gertler et al. BMC Zoology (2017) 2:15 DOI 10.1186/s40850-017-0024-z BMC Zoology RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Indigenous house mice dominate small mammal communities in northern Afghan military bases Christoph Gertler1,11, Mathias Schlegel1,12, Miriam Linnenbrink2, Rainer Hutterer3, Patricia König4, Bernhard Ehlers5, Kerstin Fischer1, René Ryll1, Jens Lewitzki6, Sabine Sauer7, Kathrin Baumann1, Angele Breithaupt8, Michael Faulde9, Jens P. Teifke8, Diethard Tautz2 and Rainer G. Ulrich1,10* Abstract Background: Small mammals are important reservoirs for pathogens in military conflicts and peacekeeping operations all over the world. This study investigates the rodent communities in three military bases in Northern Afghanistan. Small mammals were collected in this conflict zone as part of Army pest control measures from 2009 to 2012 and identified phenotypically as well as by molecular biological methods. Results: The analysis of the collected small mammals showed that their communities are heavily dominated by the house mouse Mus musculus and to a lesser extent Cricetulus migratorius and Meriones libycus. The origin of M. musculus specimens was analyzed by DNA sequencing of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene and D-loop sequences. All animals tested belonged to the Mus musculus musculus subspecies indigenous to Afghanistan. The results were supported by detection of two nucleotide exchanges in the DNA polymerase gene of Mus musculus Rhadinovirus 1 (MmusRHV1), a herpesvirus, which is specific for all gene sequences from Afghan house mice, but absent in the MmusRHV1 sequences of German and British house mice. Studies of astrovirus RNA polymerase gene sequences did not yield sufficient resolution power for a similarly conclusive result.
