Active learning is increasingly implemented in higher education, yet students' perspectives on this pedagogical approach remain diverse. This study explores geoscience students' views on active learning within a course at the University of Bergen (UiB) and in relation to their broader study program. Through longitudinal qualitative interviews with two student cohorts, we identified seven main cate
Ethnographic methods can advance our knowledge of a setting through its documents as well as help the researcher to grasp a document in its setting. This chapter contests the idea that the study of documents only refers to close analyses of text. Taking pictures of documents, asking about documents, and observing what people do with documents are approaches that can answer sociologically significa
The thermal performance curve (TPC) of an organism captures how population growth depends on temperature. When populations experience increased temperatures, such as during global climate change, one prediction is that their TPC can evolve to accommodate the new environmental temperature. Although studies on TPC evolution have mostly focused on modifications in population growth rates, TPC evoluti
This paper introduces a three-dimensional approach for analysing brokerage in social networks that has the potential to open new areas of research in Science and Technology Studies (STS). Brokerage is a fundamental concept in social network analysis, where it refers to situations in which actors bridge otherwise disconnected actors. Such brokerage can have both individual consequences and conseque
This chapter is about social work and prostitution, understood as a relation in which sexual acts are exchanged for money or other material or immaterial resources. The aim is to understand different approaches in social work by linking up to a policy-process perspective. As any social phenomenon, prostitution can be framed differently as a policy problem. The chapter is structured around three di
The purpose of current study is to produce groundwater qanat potential map using frequency ratio (FR) and Shannon's entropy (SE) models in the Moghan watershed, Khorasan Razavi Province, Iran. The qanat is basically a horizontal, interconnected series of underground tunnels that accumulate and deliver groundwater from a mountainous source district, along a water- bearing formation (aquifer), and t
This paper challenges dominant paradigms of place marketing by foregrounding its role in the production of spatial injustice in urban consumption spectacles. Drawing on rhythmanalysis and spatial injustice, we conceptualize tourism-driven place marketing as a form of spatial production privileging spectacle, circulation, and visibility – often at the expense of everyday life. Based on ethnographic
Pd-Ga alloy nanoparticles with tunable compositions were produced by combining spark ablation with a downstream injection of a metal-organic precursor. This dual-process approach enables control over nanoparticle composition and morphology by adjusting precursor flow rate and sintering temperature. At lower precursor flows, uniform Pd-Ga nanoparticles form, exhibiting stable Pd5Ga2 and Pd2Ga phase
Recent years have seen an uptake in cycling and, with it, an increase in cyclists being involved in crashes. One particularly problematic area is that of urban signalised intersections, which are responsible for a majority of the crashes involving cyclists. One reason is the increased complexity at such locations. The bike box has been hailed as an infrastructure measure to help increase the safet
/08/ is an annual series of exhibitions organised by Alejandro Cesarco that take place while the gallery is closed for its summer break.This August /08/ presents an intervention by Patricia Esquivias on the gallery’s answering machine. Esquivias uses this space to host a micro-exhibition of her usual methods: pointing towards something forgotten, weaving together personal memory with public or off
This exhibition does not necessarily aim to narrate what has happened, nor to begin from scratch. The intention is rather to begin in the middle, in medias res. Or, “Half-way through the journey of our lives I found myself in a dark forest”, etc.The show has a lot to do with questioning being in midcareer. What does the shadow of ourselves that we have constructed over the years enable and frustra
Alejandro Cesarco’s “Album” (Leporello N° 11) presents the titles and durations of each of the songs that make up The Cure’s “Disintegration”, the band’s iconic album from 1989. Each song is listed on its own panel, as if they were images in a photo album.Admittedly, The Cure plays heavily in the soundtrack of Cesarco’s youth. These gloomy soundscapes further the artist’s investigation into quest
Group exhibition.Through a wide selection of artists and works from the MUSAC Collection, this exhibition seeks to explore the connections and relationships that contemporary art establishes when the vocabulary it employs in its creation reveals a process of creativity. It does so through two distinct groups: on the one hand, a selection of pieces whose formal austerity and economy of means contra
SUSTAINABILITY is increasingly framed as a task to be solved in and through cities, not least by planning and designing built environments that ‘nudges’ individuals towards sustainable ways of living. Realising visions of a sustainable urban future is thus at least partially dependent upon affecting individual and collective behaviors. So, what happens when coherent visions of sustainable urban de
