İngiliz Parlamento Tutanakları’nda Mustafa Kemal Atatürk
Authors: YILDIZELİ Fahriye Begüm
Published: October 2024

Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin kurucusu ulu önder Mustafa Kemal
Atatürk’ün icraatları, devlet adamlığı ve politik mirası tüm dünyada olduğu
gibi İngiltere’de de yakından takip edilmiştir. Mondros Mütarekesi’nin 30
Ekim 1918’de imzalanmasının ertesinde İngilizler’in İstanbul’u işgal
etmesine karşılık Mustafa Kemal’in hukuken ve fiilen başlattığı milli
mücadele harekâtı İngiliz Parlamentosu’nda büyük bir yankı uyandırmıştır.
1919’dan 1923’e kadar olan dönemde tartışmaların temelini geleneksel
Turkofobik tutumlar oluşturuyorken, Mustafa Kemal’in “Bolşeviklerle
işbirliği yapan, Hristiyanlara zulmetmeye devam eden bir isyancı ve
geleceğin diktatörü olarak” lanse edildiği görülmektedir. Buna karşılık,
1923’den 1960’lere kadar uzanan kayıtlarda Türk-İngiliz dostluğunu
Atatürk'ün uzun süren unutulmaz başkanlığında başladığı ve ülkesini çok
çalışarak kendi kendine yetme doktrinleriyle dünya üzerinde yüksek bir
konuma taşımasından övgüyle bahsedilmiştir.

Bu çalışma, İngiliz Parlamento tartışmalarına dayanarak Atatürk
hakkındaki görüşleri değerlendirilecektir. İngilizler’in Türk Kurtuluş
Savaşı’nın başlangıcındaki tavrı ile Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin kurulmasıyla
birlikte Atatürk’ün vefatından sonraki süreçteki farklı yaklaşımların
nedenleri üzerinde durulacaktır. James Bryce, David L. George, Winston
Churchill, Edward Grigg and Neville Chamberlain gibi dönemin ünlü
politikacılarının görüşleri de çalışmada öne çıkacaktır. Sonuç olarak, gerek
iktidar gerekse de muhalefetin Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’e bakış açısının
analiz edilmesi İngiltere’nin Türkiye’ye karşı değişen politika ve
algılamalarının Atatürk’ün şahsında sentezlendiğini kanıtlayacaktır.

Abstract. Mineral dust is a key atmospheric aerosol agent that impacts the radiation budget and plays a significant role in cloud formation. However, studies on retrieving height-resolved microphysical properties of dust aerosols, which are crucial for understanding dust evolution and transport processes, from lidar measurements are still insufficient. Here, we retrieve dust aerosol microphysical properties, including the volume size distribution, volume concentration, effective radius (reff), refractive index and single-scattering albedo, from spectral extinction, backscattering and depolarization lidar measurements. We evaluate the performance of three particle scattering models – Sphere, Spheroid and Irregular–Hexahedral (IH) models in terms of mimicking dust optical properties and deriving retrieval results. We also explore the influence of inverting different measurement sets, namely the conventional 3β (backscattering coefficients at 355, 532 and 1064 nm) + 2α (extinction coefficients at 355 and 532 nm) and the expanded 3β + 2α + 3δ (depolarization ratio at 355, 532 and 1064 nm) measurements, on the retrieval. Both simulations and inversions of real lidar measurements show that it is necessary to use non-spherical models and incorporate 3δ measurements to improve the retrieval accuracy. An increase of discrepancy in depolarization ratio produced by the IH and Spheroid models is observed for reff > 0.5 μm, resulting in larger retrieval difference between the two non-spherical models after the inclusion of 3δ. The study demonstrates the prospect of retrieving height-resolved dust microphysical properties from lidar measurements, as well as potential limitations of the prevailing scattering models in simulating particle backscattering properties.

Published: October 2024

Abstract. The extensive Patagonian continental shelf in the Atlantic Ocean is renowned for its high productivity associated with nutrient-rich waters that fertilise massive phytoplankton blooms, especially along the shelf-break frontal system. Growing evidence reflects this ecosystem as a hotspot for harmful algal blooms (HABs). Whether these HABs reach coastal areas or are exported to the adjacent ocean basin by energetic edge currents remains unexplored. During two oceanographic cruises in spring 2021, a bloom of dinoflagellates of the Amphidomataceae family was sampled over the outer shelf with a ten-day interval, at stations 40 km apart. The bloom was first sampled on November 16, with 32 million cells L-1, and was still persistent on November 25, with 14 million cells L-1. The magnitude of this bloom is a global record for this group so far reported in the literature. The toxin azaspiracid-2 was detected in both stages of the bloom, with values up to 2122 pg L-1. The most likely source of AZA-2 was Azadinium spinosum ribotype B. The bloom developed in vertically stable waters (60 m mixed layer depth) with elevated chlorophyll concentration. Water retention and the presence of fronts induced by horizontal stirring controlled the persistence and trajectory of the bloom in a localised area over the continental shelf, as evidenced by analysis of geostrophic surface currents, Lyapunov coefficients, and particle advection modelling. These findings underscore the importance of monitoring HABs in offshore environments, and the need to understand bio-physical interactions that govern bloom taxa assemblages and transport pathways.

Abstract. Between 14 March 2020 and 11 September 2021, meteorological measurement flights were conducted above the German Bight in the framework of the project X-Wakes. The scope of the measurements was to study the transition of the wind field and atmospheric stability from the coast to the sea, to study the interaction of wind park wakes, and to study the large-scale modification of the marine atmospheric boundary layer by the presence of wind parks. In total, 49 measurement flights were performed with the research aircraft Dornier 128 of the Technische Universität (TU) Braunschweig during different seasons and different stability conditions. Seven of the flights in the time period from 24 to 30 July 2021 were organised using a second research aircraft, the Cessna F406 of TU Braunschweig. The instrumentation of both aircraft consisted of a nose boom with sensors for measuring the wind vector, temperature and humidity and, additionally, a surface temperature sensor. The Dornier 128 was further equipped with a laser scanner for deriving sea state properties and two downward-looking cameras in the visible and infrared wavelength range. The Cessna F406 was additionally equipped with shortwave and longwave broadband radiation sensors for measuring upward and downward solar and terrestrial radiation. A detailed overview of the aircraft, sensors, data post-processing and flight patterns is provided here. Further, averaged profiles of atmospheric parameters illustrate the range of conditions. The potential use of the dataset has been already shown by the first few publications. The data of both aircraft are publicly available on the world data centre PANGAEA at https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.955382 (Rausch et al., 2023a).
AIGD-PFT: the first AI-driven global daily gap-free 4 km phytoplankton functional type data product from 1998 to 2023

Published: October 2024

Abstract. Long time series of spatiotemporally continuous phytoplankton functional type (PFT) data are essential for understanding marine ecosystems and global biogeochemical cycles as well as for effective marine management. In this study, we integrated artificial intelligence (AI) technology with multisource marine big data to develop a spatial–temporal–ecological ensemble model based on deep learning (STEE-DL). This model generated the first AI-driven global daily gap-free 4 km PFT chlorophyll a concentration product from 1998 to 2023 (AIGD-PFT). The AIGD-PFT significantly enhances the accuracy and spatiotemporal coverage of quantifying eight major PFTs: diatoms, dinoflagellates, haptophytes, pelagophytes, cryptophytes, green algae, prokaryotes, and Prochlorococcus. The model input encompasses (1) physical oceanographic, biogeochemical, and spatiotemporal information and (2) ocean colour data (OC-CCI v6.0) that have been gap-filled using a discrete cosine transform–penalized least squares (DCT-PLS) approach. The STEE-DL model utilizes an ensemble strategy with 100 residual neural network (ResNet) models, applying Monte Carlo and bootstrapping methods to estimate the optimal PFT chlorophyll a concentration and assess the model uncertainty through ensemble means and standard deviations. The model's performance was validated using multiple cross-validation strategies – random, spatial-block, and temporal-block methods – combined with in situ data, demonstrating STEE-DL's robustness and generalization capability. The daily updates and seamless nature of the AIGD-PFT data product capture the complex dynamics of coastal regions effectively. Finally, through a comparative analysis using a triple-collocation analysis (TCA) approach, the competitive advantages of the AIGD-PFT data product over existing products were validated. The complete product dataset (1998–2023) can be freely downloaded from https://doi.org/10.11888/RemoteSen.tpdc.301164 (Zhang and Shen, 2024a).
Intensified upwelling: normalized sea surface temperature trends expose climate change in coastal areas
Authors: Gutiérrez-Guerra Miguel Ángel , Pérez-Hernández María Dolores , Vélez-Belchí Pedro
Published: October 2024

Abstract. Eastern boundary upwelling systems (EBUSs) provide valuable natural resources due to their high primary production. However, there is significant uncertainty in how climate change may affect the mechanisms that sustain these ecosystems in the future. Therefore, assessing the effects of climate change on EBUSs under the current global warming scenario is crucial for efficient ecosystem management. In 1990, Andrew Bakun suggested an increase in the upwelling intensity due to the rise of the ocean–land pressure gradient. Since there is a significant link between thermal gradients and offshore Ekman transport, we use sea level pressure (SLP) and deseasonalized sea surface temperature (SST) data from remote sensing to elucidate this hypothesis and validate it using in situ observations. SST is an indicator of coastal upwelling, and our long-term analysis of monthly and deseasonalized SST records shows that the seasonal and synoptic processes have minimal influence on the SST–upwelling intensity relationship. Upwelling within the same EBUS is not usually evenly distributed along coastlines, leading to upwelling in specific areas, referred to as upwelling centers. We compare the SST trends in the main upwelling centers of the four EBUSs with those in open ocean waters through a new index, αUI, designed to characterize upwelling changes in the EBUS. An a-dimensional number allows us to normalize the trends independently of the upwelling system and compare all of them. Furthermore, we have complemented the SST index with sea level pressure gradient data. This new index (supported by SLP gradient trends) indicates intensification in all the EBUSs, revealing a coherent pattern within EBUSs in the same ocean (i.e., Canarian and Benguela or Californian and Humboldt upwelling systems).

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar as relações de gênero no contexto do campo brasileiro. Nossas análises são decorrentes da pesquisa de doutorado no Programa de Pós-graduação em Educação da Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa (UEPG), acerca das questões de gênero na divisão sexual do trabalho e do protagonismos feminino no contexto das escolas do campo. Os encaminhamentos teórico-metodológicos que adotamos fundamentam-se na teoria decolonial, para tratar do protagonismo feminino das mulheres do campo e para falar das múltiplas opressões que vivenciam e como estas jovens mulheres vão resistindo a essas opressões. Concluímos que, somente por meio da efetivação de políticas públicas afirmativas em torno do gênero é possível realizar o enfrentamento das desigualdades das mulheres camponesas e das juventudes do campo e garantir a autonomia financeira desses trabalhadores e trabalhadoras da agricultura familiar e evitar em partes o êxodo rural.
Care to work? Policy Considerations for Engaging Jordanian Women in the Workforce
Authors: Hudler Elizabeth
Published: October 2024

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the challenge of adapting care and family policies to the government of Jordan’s objectives, from economic development goals to maintaining social norms. Motives for interventions seem to signal an interest in gender equity and concerns around child development and family preservation. Indeed, for some, Jordan’s emerging caregiving market (and other liberal policies) might signal an easing in archetypal gendered norms around caregiving, domestic work, and women’s roles inside and outside of the public spheres. However, an analysis of the theory underlying care work and social reproduction along with a review of Jordanian social perceptions—among men and women alike—hints at a potential gap in policy. The paper challenges policymakers to consider the stubborn female labor force participation rate differently. The paper starts by untangling feminist theories around care and work. It then explores Jordan’s specific context regarding norms and perceptions around gender and work and gender and care. From there, it reviews and analyzes Jordan’s policies and presents opportunities for policymaking.

Published: October 2024

The issue of pension fund management and how pensioners are being owed substantial amounts at their retirement year is still a rampaging case in Nigeria. Also, many retirees do not understand the dynamics of pension fund management. Hence, the main objective of this study was to investigate how the contributory pension fund has impacted Nigerian bank’s profitability. A model was adopted and modified with variables relevant to the course of study like profit after tax (PAT), Pension Funds (PEN) and inflation, and secondary data for each variable was extracted from the banks’ financial statement, PENCOM financial statements, and the CBN statistical bulletin. The data was from period 2015Q1 till 2022Q4 and was analyzed by using the multiple regression analysis. The study found out that both pension funds and investment were positively significant. The study thus recommended that all pension firms must be monitored frequently so as to reduce the incidence of fraud.
Henry Giroux e o problema da representação de gênero: possíveis contribuições para o campo da pedagogia cultural
Authors: Moreira Tiago Rodrigues , Aguiar Felipe Costa , Nogueira Fernanda de Faria Viana
Published: October 2024

Neste trabalho apresentamos as críticas do educador e crítico cultural norte-americano Henry Giroux às identidades representadas em animações dos Estúdios Disney, tendo como foco as identidades de gênero. As ideias do autor sobre essas representações não estão concentradas em um único livro ou texto, mas em trabalhos que foram publicados por Giroux ao longo dos anos em artigos, capítulos de livros e ensaios. Ao trazê-los à tona, apresentamos a fundamentação que o autor faz da pedagogia cultural dos filmes da Disney a partir de um olhar da pedagogia crítica. Além disso, trazemos outros autores que discutem as temáticas de gênero, identidade e sexualidade a fim de enriquecer o panorama apresentado, quer seja com autores que Giroux dialogou ou outros pensadores que se dedicaram a essa temática. Concluímos que as identidades de gênero são ambíguas e não fixas, e que as animações atuam como máquinas de ensino, que fazem os atos normativos padrões se perpetuarem. Contudo, há sempre uma margem para outras representações de comportamento, inclusive as subversivas.
O dilema heterotópico em O homem do castelo alto de Philip K. Dick
Authors: N. Beccari Marcos
Published: October 2024

Este estudo se debruça sobre a obra O homem do castelo alto, de Philip K. Dick, para propor uma reflexão sobre os modos de se imaginar o presente sob o prisma de uma abordagem hermenêutica centrada no conceito foucaultiano de “heterotopia”. Para tanto, começo por problematizar a ênfase futurista que se inscreve nas utopias e distopias e, com base em algumas premissas da filosofia trágica (Nietzsche, Rosset), elejo o conceito de “dilemas heterotópicos” como potencial bússola para a releitura do presente. Após apresentar o enredo em análise, destaco alguns aspectos filosóficos que o permeiam e através dos quais o presente do autor pôde ser relido e reimaginado. Por fim, discuto sobre a dimensão trágico-oracular que se interpõe na heterotopia dickiana, e concluo que, nessa chave peculiar, o autor não se limitou a fabular outras realidades, pois antes mirou em outras possibilidades de uma mesma realidade. Como resultado, espero com este estudo lançar luz sobre o dilema heterotópico enquanto potente recurso ficcional e hermenêutico de releitura do presente.
The Tightrope of Individual Liberties amid Pakistan’s Counter-Terrorism Agenda
Authors: Hussain Nazar , Bhatti Shaukat Hussain
Published: October 2024

This doctrinal research article explores the nuances, pitfalls, and opportunities within this intricate landscape. This doctrinal research delves into the intricate balance between individual liberties and Pakistan's counter-terrorism agenda, navigating the complex terrain where security imperatives intersect with fundamental rights. As Pakistan grapples with persistent security threats from terrorism, its response has often entailed the implementation of stringent measures aimed at thwarting terrorist activities and ensuring public safety. However, these measures have raised concerns about their impact on civil liberties, including freedoms of expression, association, and privacy. Drawing upon legal frameworks, policy documents, and judicial precedents, this research critically examines the evolving landscape of counter-terrorism laws and practices in Pakistan and their implications for individual liberties. It scrutinizes the compatibility of counter-terrorism measures with constitutional guarantees and international human rights standards, assessing the extent to which security imperatives have encroached upon fundamental rights and freedoms. Furthermore, this research explores the role of judicial oversight, executive discretion, and legislative reforms in reconciling the tension between security concerns and individual liberties within Pakistan's legal framework. It analyses landmark court decisions, legislative enactments, and government policies to elucidate the legal and institutional mechanisms aimed at safeguarding individual liberties while countering terrorism effectively. Moreover, this research situates Pakistan's counter-terrorism efforts within the broader context of regional security dynamics, highlighting the interconnectedness of domestic security challenges with regional conflicts, geopolitical rivalries, and transnational terrorist networks. It underscores the importance of regional cooperation, information sharing, and diplomatic engagement in addressing common security threats while respecting individual liberties across borders. By critically examining the tightrope walk between individual liberties and Pakistan's counter-terrorism agenda, this research contributes to a nuanced understanding of the challenges and trade-offs inherent in balancing security imperatives with respect for fundamental rights.
Impact of Organizational Rewards on Employee Engagement with mediating role of Leader Member Exchange: Evidence from Banking Sector of Pakistan
Authors: Syed Jaleel Abbas  , Ali Huma
Published: October 2024

The main objective of this study is to check the relationship of organizational rewards, leader member exchange (LMX) and employee engagement. Organizational rewards play a vital role to motivate the employees to be engaged in their work. This relationship is based on the principle of reciprocity. Managers motivate the employee by facilitating them with organizational rewards and reciprocally employees show enhanced engagement in their work. The relationship of manager with employees is of significant value. A manager acts as a mediator between the implementation of organizational rewards and employee engagement. Through the structural equation modelling (SEM), the relationship of organizational rewards, employee engagement and leader member exchange has been checked. The data was taken from the banking sector of Pakistan. The results reveal that organizational rewards significantly enhance employee engagement and this relationship remains persistent when mediated with LMX. This study is of unique significance because it discusses organizational rewards and their impact on employee engagement and also checks the relationship of organizational rewards and employee engagement with mediation of leader member exchange.
“Blinds’ Concerns are Always Disregarded”: Necessity of Revolutionizing English Education for Visually Impaired ELLs
Authors: Arif Rikza , Imtiaz Akifa
Published: October 2024

In an era where knowledge is paramount, every student deserves an education that empowers them for academic and professional success, regardless of disability. Focusing on the needs of visually impaired ELLs, this research presents a case study pinpointing gaps in prevailing teaching methods and introduces a revised approach based on 21st-century skills. The study involves four visually impaired fifth-grade students and their English teacher. The selection of the school and participants was based on the purposive sampling technique. Data was collected with the help of an observation checklist and an observer’s diary. A revised version of Bloom’s Taxonomy by Anderson et al. (2001) was used as a theoretical framework, and the top three levels of the taxonomy, along with the 4Cs and ICT literacy skills, were employed as a methodological framework. Content analysis (Strauss & Corbin, 1990) of the data revealed that the teacher uses a traditional pedagogical approach in the classroom, due to which the students have underdeveloped higher order thinking skills (HOTS). Therefore, the methodology was designed to be used by educators to enhance the classroom performance, attitudes, and HOTS of visually impaired students.

With the advancement in online educational platforms in the present world, multimedia technologies have become a more easily accessed resource in language learning pedagogy than before. Different areas of language pedagogy are benefitting from the use of these multimedia technologies. The present research aims to explore the pertinent effect of multimedia language teaching input on L2 vocabulary building of learners by examining the way they enhance the learners’ working memory efficacy. The study employs an experimental research design by giving two types of WM strategic input (i.e., traditional verbal input and multimedia input) separately to two homogenous groups of 50 graduate ESL learners and observing their effectiveness in their vocabulary development. The study has used two research tools to collect data from the participants. The first is Wesche and Paribakht’s (1996) The Vocabulary Knowledge test which rates the vocabulary knowledge of the participants, and the second is a self-designed Working Memory cloze test to check the efficacy of the participants’ working memory through their vocabulary achievement. The participants are judged twice on the two scales, first before the treatment (pre-test 1 & 2), and second, after the treatment (posttest1 & 2). The results are obtained by comparing the participants’ mean scores of the vocabulary knowledge and working memory in pre and posttests of both variables. T-tests have also been run to see the improvement in learners’ VK and WM, and regression analysis has been carried out to see the relationship among the variables. The findings reveal that both WM strategies, i.e., verbal input and multimedia input are helpful in the development of learners’ vocabulary and working memory efficacy, and that verbal input and multimedia input are both positively related with VK and WM. However, the former (multimedia input) is more effective in enhancing the learners’ vocabulary knowledge and working memory efficacy as compared to the latter (verbal input). The findings are significant for the L2 learners, teachers, administrators, and the policy makers alike because they suggest that multimedia technologies should be incorporated to the maximum level of use in L2 classes for the learners’ vocabulary building.

Tribulus terrestris (Puncture vine) is a medicinal herb found all around the world and also in the desert of Cholistan. Its therapeutic efficacy as eastern medicines have been known since ancient times. The present studies investigated the presence of phytochemicals and its antibacterial potential of Tribulus terrestris collected from desert of Cholistan, Punjab, Pakistan. Qualitative tests indicated the presence of alkaloids flavonoids, saponins terpenoids, tannins, carbs, proteins, amino acids and glycosides. Moreover, antibacterial potential of methanolic extracts of (seeds, leaves, stem and roots) was assessed using diffusion methods against different bacterial strains Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Results shown that leaf and fruit extracts had (0 mm) activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. While, methanolic extracts of leaves had the highest inhibitory activity (12 mm) against Klebsiella pneumoniae, whereas other bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, had the lowest inhibition region (2.2mm). Furthermore, methanolic extract of leaves showed a quite moderate inhibition zone (10mm) against Staphylococcus aureus, compared to Tribulus terrestris extract of fruits, which had a (7mm) inhibition zone. The present study indicated that the phytochemicals extracted from Tribulus terrestris are valuable for the development of pharmacological formulations to treat different diseases.
Enhancing XML Data Parsing and Querying Performance on Multi-Core Architectures
Authors: Muhammad Ali  , Minhaj Ahmad Khan
Published: October 2024

With the increasing number of computer applications, the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) has become ubiquitous and is being utilized broadly on the web for exchanging and storing information. XML files of large size take more space because of redundancy, and when parsed on machines degrade the execution. This paper proposes a novel approach aimed at enhancing the performance of parsing XML files. The proposed approach initially divides the XML file into several parts concurrently and then processes it to ensure well-formedness. Each part is subsequently encoded to save memory space, efficient parsing, and querying. Multiple parse trees are then generated in parallel in the next phase, prior to querying required data from the parse trees. The parallel parsing and efficient querying make our approach perform better than other parsing approaches. The results obtained on processing XML files of diverse sizes show an increase in performance by 22.50%, 19.41%, and 30.25% over the well-known DOM, SAX, and StAX parsing approaches, respectively.

Follow your heart, even if you can't quite see it
Authors: Zhao Debbie
Published: October 2024

Cardiac imaging plays a critical role in everyday clinical decision-making. Techniques such as MRI and echocardiography are widely used to characterise cardiac dynamics and mechanics, allowing for rapid assessment of the heart in both research and clinical settings. Ever-evolving technologies, such as artificial intelligence and biophysical modelling, help us do this better, faster, and more accessibly. But how do these findings translate into new guidelines and novel tools for improved healthcare delivery?

This talk will serve as a (very) belated PhD exit seminar on the topic of deep learning and 3D echocardiography, and as an introduction to my Pūtahi Manawa Fellowship, with a mission to redefine reference ranges for heart health in Aotearoa. It will cover the "who-am-I, what-am-I, where-am-I, why-am-I, and how-am-I" that underpin my research.
Studies of the Helminth Fauna of Norway XL: The Common Gull, Larus canus L., as final host for Cestoda (Platyhelminthes)
Authors: Bakke Tor A.
Published: October 2024

In a sample of 269 Common Gulls collected on the west coast of Norway (Agdenes 63°35'N, 9°45'E), 11 different cestode species from three orders were recovered: Anomotaenia micracantha, Choanotaenia larimarina, Dilepis undula, Paricterotaenia porosa, Hymenolepis cirrosa, H. ductilis, H. lateralis, Diphyllobothrium dendriticum, D. ditremum (plerocercoids), Schistocephalus solidus, and Tetrabothrius sp. Ecoparasitological information for the different species is presented based on prevalence and mean intensity in relation to locality, sex, age and intestinal site preference. Different species were found to have their main occurrence at different sites in the alimentary canal. The species' seasonal dynamics in the Common Gulls is described. Variation in the bird infection parameters appeared to be controlled mainly by transmission related events, the availability of infective larvae and host feeding behaviour.

A female arctic fox Alopex lagopus was found dead on 23 June 1984 in Jämtland, Sweden. Upon measuring her skull, it turned out to be notably larger than reported for arctic foxes in the literature. The body length was at the maximum part of the range. In 1982, a very large male arctic fox was observed in the same area.
Introduction of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L. to the river Akerselv, Oslo
Authors: Hansen Lars P.
Published: October 2024

In 1981 Carlintagged Atlantic salmon smolts from the river Imsa and river Sandvikselv stocks, and in 1984 smolts from the river Loneelv stock were released in the river Akerselv. The smolts left the river and the inner Oslofjord few weeks after release. Most adult recaptures were reported from the sea fisheries. Adults from the Imsa and Sandvikselv stocks were caught in more distant waters than fish from the Loneelv stock. The main reason for this is probably due to size selective fishery. Straying to neighbouring rivers in Oslojord was very common, especially for the smolts released in 1981. The Loneelv smolts released in 1984 gave the best adult return to the river Akerselv. It is concluded that smolt releases in the river Akerselv particularly of a grilse stock like that of the river Loneelv may be a useful way to develop a recreational fishery in the Oslofjord and the river Akerselv.

An accumulation of bones at Blomvåg on Blomøy island on the west coast of Norway, 30 km NW of Bergen, was found in 1941 2.5-3 m down in the ground. Radiological datings from the layer of the find has established that these remains of mammals (incl. reindeer), birds (incl. great auk and raven) and fish originate from about 12,700 - 12,200 years B.P. The concentration of animal remains here indicates the possibility of human activity at this site.
