The original title of the Norwegian project can be translated as “Nature’s values and services – an assessment of Norway’s natural environment at the turn of the millennium”. Results from a Norwegian full-scale project will be incorporated in the global project. Norway will gain a number of benefits by participating in the global project, such as quality control, methodology and free satellite images. The Section for Environmental Data and Monitoring in the Directorate’s Environmental Information and Monitoring Department has had responsibility for the pilot project within DN. An internal consultative commit- tee provided advice during the course of the pilot study’s development. The members of the group were: Reidar Dahl, Svein Båtvik, Brit Veie-Rosvoll, Else Løbersli, Jon Barikmo, Peter Johan Schei, and Odd Terje Sandlund (NINA). Signe Nybø has functioned as project leader for the pilot study. Hilde Kyrkjebø has con- tributed written material regarding economic values. In connection with the production of chapter 2.2. of the pilot project report, seven meetings were held with potential users of the results of a full-scale study. The following participated: The Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE), Sabima, WWF, Nature and Youth, The Norwegian National Association for Outdoor Recreation (FRIFO), The Norwegian Tourist Board, Oppland County Council, the Ministry of Agriculture, Norskog, the Norwegian Association of Forest Owners and the Fisheries Directorate. The participants responded with oral and written views on the project, in addition to contributing to the shap- ing of chapter 2.2. A meeting was also held to inform people working with the monitoring and mapping of clean food, air and water. Representatives from the Norwegian Pollution Control Authority, Public Health Authority and the Norwegian Radiation Protection Authority were present at the meeting. The Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA) was commissioned by DN to produce chapters 3 and 4, which form the scientific parts of the pilot project. Odd Terje Sandlund had responsibility for this, and the following research scientists have contributed text to NINA’s two chapters: Vegar Bakkestuen, Trine Bekkby, Hartvig Christie, Lars Erikstad, Erik Framstad, Christian Nellemann, Odd Stabbetorp and Torbjørn Østdahl. The specialist content in Chapter 3 “Norway’s natural environment: a description of its condition, values and services”, has been read and quality-controlled by research scientists at the Norwegian Marine Research Institute(Per Solemdal), The Museum of Natural Sciences, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (Asbjørn Moen), Norwegian Institute for Water Research (Anne Lyche Solheim), Norwegian Institute for Land and Forest Research (Wenche Dramstad, Wendy Fjellstad), Norwegian Forest Research (Skogforsk) (Kåre Venn), as well as DN’s own experts in the various environmental fields. The pilot project has provided DN with a number of new points of contact with other sectors and interested groups that work with environmental values. It has been very gratifying that so many have met up and partic- ipated in discussions. We would like to express our gratitude to all those who have contributed to the pilot project.

  • Particle Separation

    Particle Separation

    COMPACT, EFFICIENT PARTICLE SEPARATION www.krugerkaldnes.no Unique separation equipment The MUSLING® flotation equipment was developed during the 1980’s originally for removing fat and oil from fish-processing sewage outlets. Now, after more than 20 years experience, the MUSLING® has become synonymous with the treatment for both industrial and communal sewage systems. MUSLING® continually separates particles from all types of flowing liquids. Its unique hydraulic design produces a maximum flotation effect. The MUSLING® flotation efficiency is the result of a hydraulic action that influences the velocity and direction of the liquid so that particle matter becomes separated at the surface. High capacity One of the many advantages of the MUSLING® is that it can handle a large flow of liquid in a relatively small space. It can separate particle matter at surface speeds of up to 15 m/h. The result - equipment that is compact, efficient and extremely cost- effective The MUSLING® can be used for the treatment of all forms of liquid-flow systems including traditional sewage cleaning, drinking water treatment, industrial outlet separation and recycling plants where products can be extracted and returned to the production process. An environmental advantage The MUSLING® can be used as a pure mechanical plant for the removal of fat and oils. On the other hand it can be part of a chemical cleaning system or a biological treatment process. The common factor here is that the MUSLING® is always the particle-removal element. An outside influence on the separation process The flotation particle separation process of is often dependent on what is called “dispersion”.

The document is archived in the institutional archive of Institute for Social Research. The final publication is available in: Electoral Studies 2018, / DOI: 10.1016/j.electstud.2018.06.009 does education affect immigration attitudes? Evidence from an education reform∗ Henning Finseraas,y Øyvind Skorge,z and Marte Strømx Accepted for publication in Electoral Studies July 2, 2018 Abstract Empirical research consistently finds that people with high education have more liberal immigration attitudes. To what extent this relationship reflects a causal effect of education is, however, largely unknown. We rely on the staggered introduction of a major Norwegian education reform to get exogenous variation in respondents’ level of education. The reform lifted the bottom of the education distribution by increasing the compulsory years of education by two years. We find no significant differences in immigration attitudes between those who were educated in the old and the new education system. Our results suggest that if education has a causal effect on immigration attitudes, it is likely to operate on other education margins. ∗We would like to thank seminar participants at the Institute for Social Research, Frisch Center for Economic Research, and University of Bergen for comments on a previous draft of the paper.

As for Fjord Cruise & Lapland, thanks to your small group of 20-25 travelers (average 22) you can expect some unforgettable experiences. Here are a few that stood out for me: Gain insights into Sami and northern Lapland culture in Ivalo where a local guide will offer their perspective on the oppression of Europe’s last indigenous community during a visit to the Siida Museum. You’ll learn about the forced relocation of the Sami people in the 1800s and the challenges that face the community as they fight to preserve their time-honored customs. But the most moving stories of all are the ones you’ll hear directly from the local people. You’ll meet them, too, and hear their personal experiences when you visit the owners of a reindeer farm and learn about the important role they play in the Sami peoples’ daily lives.
