  • Fungi Associated with Three Common Bark Beetle Species in Norwegian
    Preface Finally, two years of study for the master degree at the Norwegian University of Life Science is completed. This thesis is the end of my education in forestry science. It has been a long and sometimes challenging journey, but this is it. It started as a “worst case scenario”, when I had to change my thesis assignment. Two months of fieldwork resulted in nothing due to unlucky circumstances. I was saved by the hero Dr. Halvor Solheim who is my main supervisor. He came up with the idea of study fungi associated with some bark beetle species. This thesis has given me the opportunity to practice and learn about new fields, that I thought I never would bother to try to understand. I’ve been working with tree samples, beetle species and DNA! Normally I was the one who usually prayed, that DNA wouldn’t be a subject in the examinations. In additions to Dr. Halvor Solheim, many people have inspired, helped and motivated me through the whole process. They have answered all my questions and have been there for me when I needed help.

  • © Georgina Green ~ Epping Forest Though the Ages
    © Georgina Green ~ Epping Forest though the Ages Epping Forest Preface On 6th May 1882 Queen Victoria visited High Beach where she declared through the Ages "it gives me the greatest satisfaction to dedicate this beautiful Forest to the use and enjoyment of my people for all time" . This royal visit was greeted with great enthusiasm by the thousands of people who came to see their by Queen when she passed by, as their forefathers had done for other sovereigns down through the ages . Georgina Green My purpose in writing this little book is to tell how the ordinary people have used Epping Fo rest in the past, but came to enjoy it only in more recent times. I hope to give the reader a glimpse of what life was like for those who have lived here throughout the ages and how, by using the Forest, they have physically changed it over the centuries. The Romans, Saxons and Normans have each played their part, while the Forest we know today is one of the few surviving examples of Medieval woodland management. The Tudor monarchs and their courtiers frequently visited the Forest, wh ile in the 18th century the grandeur of Wanstead House attracted sight-seers from far and wide. The common people, meanwhile, were mostly poor farm labourers who were glad of the free produce they could obtain from the Forest. None of the Forest ponds are natural . some of them having been made accidentally when sand and gravel were extracted . while others were made by Man for a variety of reasons.

Welcome to the Tre Lag Stevne in South Saint Paul, Minnesota. We were last in the Twin Cities area in 2009 in this same location. In a metropolitan area of this size it is not as easy to see the results of the Norwegian immigration as in smaller towns and rural communities. But the evidence is there if you look for it. This year’s speakers will tell the story of the Norwegians who contributed to the richness of American culture through literature, art, architecture, politics, medicine and science. You may recognize a few of their names, but many are unsung heroes who quietly added strands to the fabric of America and the world. We hope to astonish you with the diversity of their talents. Our tour will take us to the first Norwegian church in America, which was moved from Muskego, Wisconsin to the grounds of Luther Seminary,. We’ll stop at Mindekirken, established in 1922 with the mission of retaining Norwegian heritage. It continues that mission today. We will also visit Norway House, the newest organization to promote Norwegian connectedness. Enjoy the program, make new friends, reconnect with old friends, and continue to learn about our shared heritage.

    Universitetet i Bergen Institutt for lingvistiske, litterære og estetiske studiar Stadnamn i Luster kommune i Indre Sogn Ein prototypebasert analyse av namnelandskapet i eit vestlandsk jordbruksdistrikt Samuele Mascetti NOLISP350 Mastergradsoppgåve i nordisk Vår 2017 Føreord Å skriva denne masteravhandlinga har vore for meg fyrst og fremst ei personleg fordjuping i tankegangen og levemåten typiske for både staden eg kjem frå og staden eg har valt å bu på: Alpane og Vestlandet. Eg er fødd og oppvaksen i ei lita fjellbygd ved Comosjøen i nordlege Lombardia fylke i Nord-Italia, ved grensa mot Sveits. Det alpine innsjølandskapet har mykje til felles med fjordlandskapet på Vestlandet: Høge, bratte fjell som stuper i vatnet, djupe og grisgrendte dalar, dårlege vegar og mykje, mykje regn. Kulturlandskapet er òg nokso likt: Jordbruket var lenge hovudnæringa i det alpine området, og stølinga spelte ei sentral rolle i den tradisjonelle gardsordninga. Det norditalienske setersystemet er nesten identisk med det vestlandske og dei fleste bruka har to setrar: Heimesetra (kalla munt, ‘fjell’ på lombardisk), som ligg om lag mellom 600 og 1400 moh. og er nytta vår og haust, og langsetra (kalla alp, ‘høgfjell’ på lombardisk), som ligg om lag mellom 1500 og 2500 moh. og er nytta om sumaren. Dei fleste bygdene ligg mellom 200 og 600 moh., so begge setrar er utstyrde med stølshus, sidan dei ligg fleire timar gonge frå heimehusa. Som gutunge var eg mang ein sumar på selet hans bestefar og fekk oppleva den gamle stølstradisjonen, som diverre alt då var døyande: Dei fleste gardsbrukarane la driftene ned pga. den uoverkomelege økonomiske sentraliseringa i jordbrukspolitikken til EU-landa, som trengte dei småe produsentane ut til fordel for dei store industrialiserte bruka i låglandet kring storbyane.

In the source, <ingebretsens.com> a thorough review of history and construction can be read.
