In the beginning of the 2000’s a meeting takes place at one of the major hospitals in Northern Norway, between a Sámi patient Juvvá, and his roommate, a retired Norwegian engineer. The engineer shows a negative attitude towards his Sámi roommate. Based on a symptomatic reading of three stories, this article presents a character analysis of Juvvá’s birgengoansttat, coping skills, in his encounter with the engineer. The analysis focuses on Juvvá as a trickster figure representing the Sámi people, and the engineer as stállu, a set of structures that represent the majority’s values system. The engineer’s negative mindset towards his Sámi roommate represents the shadow of centuries of repression and lack of knowledge about Sámi language, culture and history. The Norwegian government’s assimilation politics, the Norwegianization policies, function as the contextual backdrop for the investigation and of the reactions of the engineer. In my role as a scholar and mediator of the stories, I also function as a character in this investigation, at a meta level. This requires some focus on the context that frames my reading. The analysis of the stories reveals how non-verbal communication and humor are used to show resistance towards derogatory attitudes in the majority system. Juvvá’s agency is to cope, and take control of his own situation in the narrative of the hospital’s white world. In his role as a trickster, Juvvá represents a boundary-crossing figure and demonstrates a flexibility in finding a creative space to exercise his abilities to coping in the meeting with his hostile roommate.

This study examined whether clients' positive or negative self-disclosure and sex affected counselors' evaluation of the clients. 80 counselors (30 certified, 45 master's and five doctoral trainees; six men and 74 women), after viewing a videotaped counseling interview in which the client self-disclosed either largely positive or negative contents responded to the Clinical Impression Scale which contained 8 clinical characteristics of clients (assertiveness, overall coping skills, anxiety, attitude toward counseling, motivation to change, self-esteem, insight, and depression). When the client self-disclosed largely negative content about self, counselors evaluated male client more negatively, i.e., less assertive, poor coping skills, higher anxiety, more negative attitude toward counseling, less eager to change, lower self-esteem, less insight, and higher depression) than female client. However, when the client self-disclosed largely positive content, there was no statistically significant sex difference between the two groups. The implications are discussed.

Abstract This research is backed by a declining interest in adolescents who have resulted in their lack of knowledge and concerns in the misuse of the Youtube app which became one of the applications often accessed by Indonesian adolescents. The study aims to read people's interest in growing and grammar and their attitudes are changing in a positive way through a lot of reading. The foundations of the theory used in this study are theories of reading interest, technological literacy theory, and folklore theory. The method used is a qualitative approach using a descriptive method through interview techniques. The results of this study show that the content of folklore becomes one of the alternatives capable of stimulus learning citizens to be more interested in listening and reading through the content of folklore that aired. The discussion suggests that there is difficulty in the beginning when inviting citizens to learn to watch a video of folklore content that has been given because of the assumption that the content is only given to early childhood, but in the The passage of time they are able to follow this program and their ability to read is able to increase. The conclusion of this research is that literacy is important for every human being, no matter the age and position, the Youtube app is proof that technological developments are able to positively impact people learning when an educator Able to provide positive examples and habits as well.Abstrak Penelitian ini dilatar belakangi oleh menurunnya minat baca pada usia remaja yang mengakibatkan rendahnya pengetahuan mereka dan kekhawatiran di dalam penyalahgunaan aplikasi Youtube yang menjadi salah satu aplikasi yang sering diakses oleh remaja Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan agar minat baca warga belajar menjadi meningkat dan tata bahasa serta sikap mereka mengalami perubahan kearah yang positif melalui banyak membaca. Landasan teori yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah teori minat baca, teori literasi teknologi, dan teori cerita rakyat. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif melalui teknik wawancara. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa konten cerita rakyat menjadi salah satu alternatif yang mampu menstimulus warga belajar untuk dapat lebih tertarik dalam mendengarkan dan membaca melalui konten cerita rakyat yang ditayangkan. Pembahasan mengemukakan bahwa terdapat kesulitan di awal ketika mengajak warga belajar untuk menyaksikan video konten cerita rakyat yang telah diberikan karena adanya anggapan bahwa konten tersebut hanya diberikan untuk anak usia dini, akan tetapi seiring berjalannya waktu mereka mampu mengikuti program ini dan kemampuan mereka dalam membaca mampu meningkat. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini yaitu literasi merupakan hal yang penting bagi setiap manusia tidak terkecuali usia dan jabatan, aplikasi Youtube menjadi bukti bahwa perkembangan teknologi mampu berdampak positif bagi warga belajar ketika seorang pendidik mampu memberikan contoh dan kebiasaan yang positif juga.

In Poland there is no system or comprehensive approach to the issue of using non-verbal communication in mediation. Usually, the matter ends with a description of some forms of body language. A lack of knowledge and skills in the scope of non-verbal communication has a negative impact on the mediation practice. The aim of this paper is to present a structured compilation of non-verbal forms and signals which can be applied in mediation. Furthermore, mediators’ skills in this scope were underlined. The analytical-functional method was used herein. An attempt was made to look at the matters related to using non-verbal communication in mediation from the theoretical and practical perspective. Due to the limited frameworks of the paper, the most significant and dominant non-verbal signals in mediation were selected for presentation. Firstly, the essence of non-verbal communication was addressed. Then, the principles of reading body language were presented. Next, signals occurring in non-verbal communication were discussed. Their role in communication and issues related to reading them properly were underlined. The paper ends with conclusions drawn from the conducted analysis.

The 19Th Century

In Friesland - a northern province of Holland - people speak two languages: Dutch as the standard language and Frisian as a second language. Through the ages the Dutch language has become the dominant language, used in the higher regions of life in society; the Frisian language was only used at home and in the streets. Since the 19th century three motives have caused a change in this pattern. First there is the social-culturai motive in the beginning of that century, leading to the desire to maintain and develop the Frisian culture and its language. Causes were among others the climate of Romanticism and the indus-trialisation of society. The second is called the pedagogical-didactic motive, which crops up about 1930. In this period of the so-called "Reform pedagogy" the attention in education is focused on the child, notably the Frisian child and its bilingual situation. In 1950 it led to experiments in bilingual education. The last change is caused by the political-ideological motive. In recent years minorities all over the world have been trying to get their culture and language acknowledged. In educational terms they want their children to be taught initially in their own mothertongue. Moreover - in the following schoolyears - they want school to pay attention to the Frisian language. Each of the three motives has caused a change in the Elementary Education Act. The first made it optional for schools to pay some attention to "the regional language" in 1937. The second caused another change in 1955. Now the Frisian language was mentioned explicitly, but was only meant to fill the gap between home- and schoollanguage. The latest change on account of the third motive in 1975 allowed the use of the Frisian language as a teaching-medium throughout the elementary school, whereas in 1980 it will be introduced as an obligatory subject in the elementary school in Friesland. To make the implementation of the Frisian language as an obligatory sub-ject possible, several courses for elementary school teachers have been started since 1976. To examine to what extent the Frisian language was implemented in school we conducted a survey. It appeared that 80% of the teachers already implemented the subject. This is a high percentage, because it is at the moment still optional. Most of the teachers who teach classes with chiefly Frisian speaking pupils have begun to teach the new subject. But also a lot of teachers who teach classes with chiefly Dutch speaking children have done so. Of course all teachers work with different goals and methods adapted to the pupils in their classes. Most of the teachers were motivated to teaching Frisian. Frisian speaking pupils turned out to be easier to motivate than Dutch speaking pupils. It is possible that these children have taken over a negative attitude from their parents. Therefore it is very important to involve the parents in the Frisian lessons and give them information about the new subject at school. Most of the teachers teach Frisian for about one hour a week. They use the Dutch language as a medium during the other lessons. Another group of teachers also spend about an hour a week on Frisian, but they use the Frisian as well as the Dutch language as a medium in the other lessons. We conclude that after the latest change in the Elementary Education Act in 1975 the Frisian schools have made a progressive step towards the full bilingual education model.

AbstractA stalagmite from northern Norway is dated with 12 thermal ionization mass spectrometry U-Th dates, and at least four separate growth periods are identified that correspond with marine isotope stages 9, 11, 13, and probably 15. The calcite is tested for isotopic equilibrium with the Hendy test. Oxygen isotope measurements on 231 subsamples on a vertical transect are used as a paleotemperature proxy. The detailed isotopic record from MIS 9 show apparent similarities to a Holocene record from the same cave, both in the climatic evolution and the overall temperatures: both show temperature oscillations changing from high-frequency, low-amplitude cycles in the beginning of the interglacial period to lower frequency, higher amplitude cycles in the later part of the interglacial period. The isotope record from MIS 11 shows a distinct isotopic event toward heavier values. The isotopic record together with the porous, humus-rich calcite are interpreted as indicating a warmer than present interglacial period with several episodes of heavy rainfall.

Background: Interest to the opposite sex is one changing that is happened in adolescence. Dating behavior of adolescents can be the beginning of premarital sex that will impact on the emergence of adolescent reproductive health problems such as unintended pregnancy and STDs/HIV/AIDS. The purpose of this study was to give description of factors related to dating behavior of early adolescents in North Coastal line, West Java. Subject and Methods: Type of this research was descriptive analytic with cross sectional design. The research was conducted in Pusakajaya Public Junior High School 1 and 2, Subang Regency. Population of this study was all of students at class VII in the selected schools. Sample of the study determined by purposive sampling technique with criteria the students ever had a lover or currently they were having a boyfriend/girlfriend. Number of respondents were 269 students. Data collection was done by interview using questionnaire as a tool. Data was reviewed using univariate and bivariate analysis. Results: Results of this study showed that 36,8% of the respondent had risky dating behavior, 25,7% did not live with their parent, 57,2% of them had low religiosity,74,7% had lack of knowledge in sexuality, 47,6% had negative attitude toward risky dating, 53,9% ever accessed pornography content and 48,3% had friend with risky dating behavior. Using Chi Square test to analyze showed that factors related to risky dating behavior were low religiosity (OR=44,68 ;95%CI=15,65 to 127,56; p=0,000), lack of knowledge (OR=14,34; 95%CI=5,03 to 40,87; p=0,000), negative attitude (OR=34,73; 95%CI=16,01 to 75,35; p=0,000), accessed pornography content (OR=79.02; 95%CI=23,89 to 261,33; p=0,000) and negative behavior of friends (OR=201,3 ;95%CI=47,19 to 859,04; p=0,000). Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between religiosity, knowledge, attitude, access to pornography content and dating behavior of friends with risky dating behavior.

In The Beginning

<p>The aim of this study was to test the utility of Landsat 5/TM data to detect and map reindeer ranges (winter ranges). The area which has been investigated is the &Aacute;vzze area in Kautokeino, Northern Norway, on the means of Landsat 5 TM-data. A &laquo;hybrid&raquo; non-supervised/supervised classification routine was elaborated and applied in this project. The initial stage was an analysis of several bandcombinations, and the 5/4/3 combination gave the preferable combination as input to the cluster algorithm (unsupervised classification). The image was divided in 4 sections of size 512 samples and 512 lines. One of this sections (the section which cover the ground truth map) was selected for the non-supervised classification. In the beginning 17 classes were merged, and a median filter was applied for the resultant image, which comprises 12 classes. The statistics from the final result from the non-supervised classification were then used together with the TM bandcombination 5/4/3 for the whole image, as input to the minimum distance classification algorithm. This algorithm was applied to every section in turn. A mosaic of the 4 sections was then made and a median filter was then registred to a digitalized map (UTM-pro-jection). The final result was a colored thematic map over the whole area. The classification of the scene was successful with an overall classification of 90-1 (X)% for lichen-heaths (9dx/9c/9a/9av Dry shrub, fresh shrub) and birch-forests (6d/6dv/6dx shrubtype with lichen). The condition of the lichen-heaths could be detected on a sufficient level on the basis of the satellite data, but further analysis will be done here. The accuracy of the digital classification was assessed on a quantitative basis. Visual classification and interpretation of the satellite imagery showed that areas of conflict (roads, agriculture) could be detected. In chapter 6. &laquo;Resultater og diskusjon&raquo; some other results from other studies/investigations carried out in Scandinavia concerning remote sensing in mapping of vegetation are refered and discussed. Based on this study, we will conclude that use of satellite data is capable to serve as first stage classification in a multistage land use and reindeer range inventory and monitoring system.</p><p>&nbsp;Kartlegging av reinbeiter ved hjelp av Landsat 5/TM data i Kautokeino, Nord-Norge.</p><p>Abstract in Norwegian / Sammendrag: M&aring;let med foreliggende unders&oslash;kelse var &aring; unders&oslash;ke muligheten av bruk av satellittdata i kartlegging av vinterbeiter for rein i &Aacute;vzze-omr&aring;det i Kautokeino p&aring; bakgrunn av Landsat 5 TM -data. En &laquo;hybrid&raquo; klassifikasjonsrutine ble fulgt i prosjektet. F&oslash;rst ble en ikke styrt klassifikasjonsrutine (&laquo;duster algoritme&raquo;) p&aring; en 1/4 del av bildet/scenen hvor man hadde markdata (flybildetolkning av vegetasjon) utf&oslash;rt. Ved analyse av ulike kanalkombinasjoner kom man fram til at kanalkombinasjonen TM 5/4/3 hadde st&oslash;rst overenstemmelse med markdata. Det klassifiserte resultatet (12 klasser) ble brukt som &laquo;inndata&raquo; i en styrt klassifikasjonsrutine (&laquo;minimum dinstance&raquo; algoritme) for hele bildet/scenen. Resultatet av denne klassifikasjonen ble filtrert for enkeltpiksler (&laquo;median-filter&raquo;) og til slutt ble det klassifiserte bildet geometrisk transformert til UTM - kartprojeksjon. Resultatet ble dermed et tematisk kart. Klassifikasjon (ikke styrt/styrt) p&aring; scenen viste god overensstemmelse med det tolkede flybildet fra omr&aring;det, og klassifikasjon med hensyn til lavheier og fattige bj&oslash;rkeskoger med lav, viste fra 90-100% samsvar i forhold til det tolkede flybildet. Tilstanden av lavbeitene kunne detekteres ut fra satellittdataene, men her trenges det mer bildeanalyse og feltunders&oslash;kelser. Visuell analyse viste at inngrep i beiteomr&aring;dene som veier og landbruk og andre inngrep kunne tolkes ut. I kapittel 5. Resultater og diskusjon blir andre studier med henhold til satel-littkartlegging referert og diskutert. De foreliggende resultater viser at man kan bruke satellittdata som f&oslash;rste trinns kartlegging av reinbeiter, samt til overv&aring;king av reinbeitene over tid.</p>

The Impact

In the mid-nineteenth century Virchow revolutionized pathology by introduction of the concept of “cellular pathology”. Today, a century later, this term has increasing significance in health and disease. We now are in the beginning of a new era in pathology, one which might well be termed “organelle pathology” or “subcellular pathology”. The impact of lysosomal diseases on clinical medicine exemplifies this role of pathology of organelles in elucidation of disease today.Another aspect of cell organelles of prime importance is their pathologic alteration by drugs, toxins, hormones and malnutrition. The sensitivity of cell organelles to minute alterations in their environment offers an accurate evaluation of the site of action of drugs in the study of both function and toxicity. Examples of mitochondrial lesions include the effect of DDD on the adrenal cortex, riboflavin deficiency on liver cells, elevated blood ammonia on the neuron and some 8-aminoquinolines on myocardium.

Purpose The purpose of this systematic review was to identify parent education procedures implemented in intervention studies focused on expressive verbal communication for nonverbal (NV) or minimally verbal (MV) children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Parent education has been shown to be an essential component in the habilitation of individuals with ASD. Parents of individuals with ASD who are NV or MV may particularly benefit from parent education in order to provide opportunities for communication and to support their children across the life span. Method ProQuest databases were searched between the years of 1960 and 2018 to identify articles that targeted verbal communication in MV and NV individuals with ASD. A total of 1,231 were evaluated to assess whether parent education was implemented. We found 36 studies that included a parent education component. These were reviewed with regard to (a) the number of participants and participants' ages, (b) the parent education program provided, (c) the format of the parent education, (d) the duration of the parent education, (e) the measurement of parent education, and (f) the parent fidelity of implementation scores. Results The results of this analysis showed that very few studies have included a parent education component, descriptions of the parent education programs are unclear in most studies, and few studies have scored the parents' implementation of the intervention. Conclusions Currently, there is great variability in parent education programs in regard to participant age, hours provided, fidelity of implementation, format of parent education, and type of treatment used. Suggestions are made to provide both a more comprehensive description and consistent measurement of parent education programs.
