Verk 日本の大学におけるアイスランド語教育を歴史的に考える：最初の問題設定と考察 [Teaching Icelandic at universities in Japan from a historical perspective: Initial research questions and observations](Rikkyo University, 2025-07-19) Bédi, BranislavThis contribution presents an early account of first academic encounters between Iceland and Japan, the influence of key individuals introducing and expanding Icelandic Studies in Japan from the late 19th century to the present. The aim is twofold: to identify significant figures who introduced and throughout the history contributed to the expansion of Icelandic Studies at Japanese universities, and to raise an initial research question about the motivation of Japanese university students learning Icelandic today. This contribution builds upon an earlier, shorter version previously published on the homepage of Árnastofnun (Bédi, 2025), and is expanding on the original material with additional information and findings.Verk Könnun um kennslu íslensku sem annars tungumáls (ÍSAT) á öllum skólastigum og í fullorðinsfræðslu(2025-09-19) Emilsson Pesková, Renata; Bédi, BranislavMarkmið könnunarinnar er tvíþætt. Í fyrsta lagi munu niðurstöðurnar nýtast til að kortleggja þarfir starfandi kennara í íslensku sem öðru tungumáli (ÍSAT), bæði á öllum skólastigum og í fullorðinsfræðslu á vegum ýmissa framhaldsfræðsluaðila. Þetta mun hjálpa til við að meta núverandi fyrirkomulag, námsefni og úrræði. Auk þess varpa niðurstöðurnar ljósi á það kennsluefni og þá kennsluaðferði sem þörf er á til að hanna kennaranám og endurmenntun ÍSAT-kennara hér á landi. Í öðru lagi mun könnunin varpa ljósi á hvernig núverandi náms- og kennsluefni og fyrirkomulag kennslu í ÍSAT-námskeiðum uppfyllir þarfir nemenda sem læra íslensku sem annað tungumál á mismunandi hæfnistigum. Tilgangur rannsóknarinnar er fyrst og fremst að veita upplýsingar sem nýtast við undirbúning kennaranáms í ÍSAT á háskólastigi og við skipulag endurmenntunar starfandi ÍSAT-kennara.Verk Ég fíla íslensku!

Sigurður Ingvarsson, forstöðumaður og prófessorVerk One of those stories : Social control, migration, and gossip: Young women in small rural communities in Iceland(University of Akureyri, 2024-06) Jóhannesdóttir, Gréta Bergrún; Bjarnason, Thoroddur; Garðarsdóttir, Ólöf; Skaptadóttir, Unnur Dís; Karlsson, VífillThis PhD thesis focuses on young women in small rural communities in Iceland and different social factors that influence their residence and residential satisfaction in these locations. Special emphasis is placed on the social control of gossip and the effects it has on women. The research is based on quantitative and qualitative methods. Quantitative data was obtained by surveys conducted in Iceland in 2019-2020 in the project Residential Stability and Migration. The results show that the social control of gossip affects the migration intentions of both men and women. Those who perceive much gossip about their love life are twice as likely to have migration intentions than people who do not experience much gossip about their love- life. Of those who have already migrated to the Capital Region from rural areas, women who mention gossip as a reason for prior migration are statistically less likely to return than other migrants. Qualitative data comes from interviews conducted with women in small coastal communities in Iceland in 2019-2021. The interviews focused on gossip, and how the women perceive gossip in their community. The results show that there is gendered social control and slut-shaming in these small communities, where women’s freedom to enjoy privacy is restricted without being the subject of gossip. The women show avoidance behaviour whereby the fear of gossip and shaming affects their actions and behaviour. Single women especially experience strong social control when it comes to sexual activities and love life.Verk Málið á Ævisögu Jóns Steingrímssonar(Hugvísindastofnun Háskóla Íslands, 2011) Sigtryggsson, Jóhannes B.; Kvaran, GuðrúnVerk Pleasureable cycling to work. : Urban Spaces and the aesthetic experiences of commuting cyclists.(2014) Stefánsdóttir, HarpaVerk Maður, fornöfn og hrappar(2023) Sigurðsson, Einar Freyr; Wood, JimVerk Perceived walkability and daily walking behaviour in a “small city context” – The case of Norway(2024-12) Stefánsdóttir, Harpa; Mouratidis, Kostas; Rynning, Maja Karoline; Meyer, Sunniva FrislidWalking is essential for environmentally friendly transport, vibrant street life, and public health. Due to the short distances, small cities should have great potential for walking; however, the car still dominates in many places. Moreover, whether and how conditions related to a Northern European location play a role in perceived walkability and subsequent walking behaviour in small cities has rarely been studied. This paper aimed to answer what characterizes walkability in the context of a small city in Norway, using Narvik, Kongsvinger, and Steinkjer as case studies. The investigation is based on a mixed methodological approach, including a survey with public participation geographic information systems (PPGIS), followed by a qualitative investigation with focus group interviews with families. The results suggest that walking for commuting purposes is considered a realistic option by most residents, although the car is used for most trip purposes, indicating that there exists an unfulfilled potential for walking. Results from the walkability assessment with PPGIS suggest that for a positive walking experience, perceived walkability includes a range of walkability indicators of a distinct nature that interact. The interviews provided explanations about important incentives in the cities that encourage the use of cars at the cost of making it attractive to walk. Good access by car stimulates its use despite short distances, and its dominance prevents fulfilling pedestrians' needs regarding calm surroundings and space reserved for vibrant street life and vegetation. Fragmented infrastructure limits parents' confidence in their children's safety. Lighting and maintenance are important in the winter to ensure walkability.Verk Identification of a new gregarine parasite associated with mass mortality events of freshwater pearl mussels (Margaritifera margaritifera) in Sweden(2024-05-01) Alfjorden, Anders; Onut-Brännström, Ioana; Wengström, Niklas; Kristmundsson, Arni; Jamy, Mahwash; Persson, B. David; Burki, FabienFreshwater bivalves play key ecological roles in lakes and rivers, largely contributing to healthy ecosystems. The freshwater pearl mussel, Margaritifera margaritifera, is found in Europe and on the East coast of North America. Once common in oxygenated streams, M. margaritifera is rapidly declining and consequently assessed as a threatened species worldwide. Deterioration of water quality has been considered the main factor for the mass mortality events affecting this species. Yet, the role of parasitic infections has not been investigated. Here, we report the discovery of three novel protist lineages found in Swedish populations of M. margaritifera belonging to one of the terrestrial groups of gregarines (Eugregarinorida, Apicomplexa). These lineages are closely related–but clearly separated–from the tadpole parasite Nematopsis temporariae. In one lineage, which is specifically associated with mortality events of M. margaritifera, we found cysts containing single vermiform zoites in the gills and other organs of diseased individuals using microscopy and in situ hybridization. This represents the first report of a parasitic infection in M. margaritifera that may be linked to the decline of this mussel species. We propose a tentative life cycle with the distribution of different developmental stages and potential exit from the host into the environment.Verk Iceland : an underestimated hub for the spread of high-pathogenicity avian influenza viruses in the North Atlantic(2024) Ahrens, Ann Kathrin; Jónsson, Stefán Ragnar; Svansson, Vilhjálmur; Brugger, Brigitte; Beer, Martin; Harder, Timm C.; Pohlmann, AnneHigh-pathogenicity avian influenza viruses (HPAIVs) of the goose/Guangdong lineage are enzootically circulating in wild bird populations worldwide. This increases the risk of entry into poultry production and spill-over to mammalian species, including humans. Better understanding of the ecological and epizootiological networks of these viruses is essential to optimize mitigation measures. Based on full genome sequences of 26 HPAIV samples from Iceland, which were collected between spring and autumn 2022, as well as 1 sample from the 2023 summer period, we show that 3 different genotypes of HPAIV H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b were circulating within the wild bird population in Iceland in 2022. Furthermore, in 2023 we observed a novel introduction of HPAIV H5N5 of the same clade to Iceland. The data support the role of Iceland as an utmost northwestern distribution area in Europe that might act also as a potential bridging point for intercontinental spread of HPAIV across the North Atlantic.Verk Íslensk-frönsk orðabók : Nokkrar áskoranir(2023) Davíðsdóttir, Rósa Elín; Úlfarsdóttir, ÞórdísVerk Ritdómur: Danske reformationssalmer i kontekst(2023) Eggertsdóttir, MargrétVerk Municipal amalgamations and local housing prices(2022-01-26) Karlsson, Vífill; Eythórsson, Grétar Thór; Faculty of BusinessIn this paper, we examine the relationship between housing prices and municipal amalgamations. Due to consumer preference for access over amenity value, there is a spatial disparity of housing prices, refiecting the value of land in specific locations. According to Tiebout (1956) local amenity values will increase if the services of a municipality improve without a comparable rise in taxes or service fees, or if taxes or service fees decrease while the service level remains the same. The bid-rent curve is a framework frequently used to capture a presence of goods or bads such as amenities, disamenities, and externalities. Accordingly, the present study will be used to detect a possible social benefit or loss following amalgamations of municipalities. Macro panel data from Iceland will be used, representing several essential variables of the house market for 79 municipalities in Iceland during the period from 1992 through 2006. The research shows a significant positive relationship, ceteris paribus, between regional municipal amalgamations and local real prices of apartments.Verk Viðhorf endurskoðenda til endurskoðunarnefnda(2023) Guðbjartsson, Einar; Jónsson, Eyþór Ívar; Snorrason, Jón Snorri; ViðskiptadeildVerk Accumulation of fluoride in Icelandic sheep and horses 2007-2019 and the effect of proximity to aluminium smelters(2023) Oddsdóttir, Charlotta
