  • Blekner Aldri Gode Tall for Oddernes Menighet Det Har Blitt Skrevet En Del Om Nedgang I Den Norske Kirke
    Nr 1/2 Vår/sommer 2015 ...blekner aldri Gode tall for Oddernes menighet Det har blitt skrevet en del om nedgang i Den norske kirke. Men hvordan står det egentlig til? Og det som kanskje inter- esserer oss mest, er vel det som er nærmest oss – Oddernes menighet. Den store gleden er konfirmasjonstallene. De har vært stabile og høye i flere år. Et annet høydepunkt er at Oddernes øker gudstjenestebesøket. Samtidig ser vi at antall utmeldte var høyt i fjor. Dette har menighetsbladet skrevet om tidligere – selv om antallet utmeldte nok ikke er så høyt sammenlignet med andre menighe- ter i Den norske kirke, så opplevde også vi en del utmeldinger i forbindelse med Kirkemøtets vedtak om å ikke åpne for Mange ønsker å konfrimere seg ekteskapsinngåelse for par med samme i Oddernes og Justvik. Her er to kjønn. Vi registrerer også at dåpsprosenten av årets konfirmanter, Anders har gått ned i forhold til før. Dette er en Bjørnholmen Øvensen og trend vi ønsker å jobbe aktivt for å snu. Vemund Aasemoen Aardal. Foto: Jo Vegard Aardal Daglig leder, Thor Erling Holte, er glad i tall. Og utdyper mer enn gjerne: - I Oddernes var det 102 konfirmanter i år, mens antall døpte i 2000-kullet var 104. 2014 2013 2012 Men så har flere konfirmanter blitt døpt, vi har «byttet» noen konfirmanter med Fri- Medlemmer 8.796 8.686 8.483 kirken, og i tillegg har vi noen fra Lund.

  • Barnehagebehovsplan 2019-2028
    RÅDMANN Barnehagebehovsplan 2019-2028 FOTO: ANDERS MARTINSEN FOTOGRAFER VEDTATT BARNEHAGEBEHOVSPLAN 2019-2028 Sammendrag – situasjonen nå: Etter at antall barn i barnehagealder vokste raskt i en lang periode har kommunen nå vært inne i en periode med noe nedgang i antall barn i alderen 1-5 år. Det er av den grunn verken behov på kommunenivå eller økonomisk handlingsrom for å opprette mange nye barnehageplasser i handlingsprogramperioden. Kravet om full barnehagedekning innebærer at det skal være nok plasser innen kommunen. Barnehagebehovsplanen søker likevel å balansere utbygging på både bydel- og delområdenivå for å gjøre hverdagen best mulig for foresatte og å redusere transportbehovet. Hovedopptaket 2018 var krevende og tok lang tid. Årsaken til dette var knapphet på barnehageplasser i delområdene Justvik og Gimlekollen samt delvis også Mosby og Grim. Dette ble løst ved etablering av tidligere Oddernes barnehage som en avdeling til Bergtorasvei barnehage (16 barnehageplasser), i tillegg ble det etablert en småbarnsavdeling ved Blåmann Steinerbarnehage (12 barnehageplasser) på Lund. Rammebetingelser: Det er en vedvarende utfordring med gjeldende finansieringssystem og rammeverk for øvrig å sikre en balansert barnehagekapasitet i det enkelte lokalområde samtidig som det ikke bør være for mange barnehageplasser i kommunen totalt sett. De økonomiske forutsetningene for barnehagesektoren tilsier at antall barn uten rett til plass skal holdes på et visst nivå ettersom barn uten rett til plass pga. alder ikke finansieres av staten. Det betyr at det ikke bør overetableres barnehager. Overetablering vil også kunne føre til tomme plasser i kommunale barnehager som er kostbart, spesielt dersom ikke bemanningen umiddelbart blir tatt ned slik at den står i forhold til antall barn.

  • Public Opposition to Wind Power Projects in Norway
    Public opposition to wind power projects in Norway MEEMAS Master thesis Energy, environment and society University of Stavanger 2020 Maren Benedikte Omholt 1 UNIVERSITY OF STAVANGER MASTER DEGREE IN Energy, Environment and Society MASTER THESIS CANDIDATE NUMBER: 5652 SEMESTER: Spring 2020 AUTHOR: Maren Benedikte Omholt SUPERVISOR: Reidar Staupe Delgado MASTER THESIS TITLE: Public opposition to wind power projects in Norway SUBJECT WORDS/KEY WORDS: Wind power, renewable energy, Frøya, Vardafjell, Kvitfjell, Raudfjell PAGE NUMBERS: 56 STAVANGER 30.08.20202 ………………………………………………. DATE/YEAR 2 Acknowledgements This thesis marks the conclusion of my master’s degree in energy, environment and society at the University of Stavanger. The original plan for this thesis was to do a field study that was interview based, while focusing only on one wind farm, and supplement this with secondary sources. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, this made it difficult to go through with. The solution was then to change the methods of the thesis from an interview based field study, to a case study where the sources that are being looked at are online based, while at the same time being secondary sources that shed light into the ways in which demonstrators are feeling and experiencing the build- ings of wind farms. I would like to thank my supervisor Reidar Staupe Delgado for helping me by giving me tips as well as constructive criticism which helped me a lot within the writing process. I would also like to thank my friends and family for keeping me motivated throughout the process. 3 Abstract The wind power debate is ongoing in Norway with many different opinions regarding the issue.

  • Minority Voices in the Memorial Messages After the Terror Attacks in Norway 2011
    Article • DOI: 10.1515/njmr-2018-0002 NJMR • 8(1) • 2018 • 56-64 ”IT’S DIFFICULT TO BE A NORWEGIAN”: Minority Voices in the Memorial Messages after the Terror Attacks in Norway 2011 Abstract The terror attacks in Norway 2011, targeting what the perpetrator described Hans Lödén* as proponents of immigration and multicultural society, created exceptional circumstances for people to reflect on issues of belonging. In this kind of Karlstad University, Sweden situation, it is assumed that people emphasise their affinity with the affected country. This, in turn, makes the problematisation of the affinities displayed particularly interesting since the act of expressing them even in a very taxing situation indicates their importance. Texts by individuals from ethnic minorities, written soon after the attacks, are analysed in terms of conceptions of ‘Norwegianness’. Results show explicit support for civic values but also multiple expressions of not feeling recognised as part of majority society also from individuals obviously acculturated to Norwegian lifestyles and cultural codes. These expressions are explained in terms of whiteness – non-whiteness and religion.
