  Trace elements are important for human health but may exert toxic or adverse effects. Mechanisms of uptake, distribution, metabolism, and excretion are partly under genetic control but have not yet been extensively mapped. Here we report a comprehensive multi-element genome-wide association study of 57 essential and non-essential trace elements. We perform genome-wide association meta-analyses of ...

  Seasonal precipitation variability on Svalbard inferred from Holocene sedimentary leaf wax δ2H 

  Kjellman, Sofia Elisabeth; Thomas, Elizabeth K.; Farnsworth, Wesley R.; Cowling, Owen C.; Allaart, Lis; Brynjólfsson, Skafti; Schomacker, Anders (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-05-26)

  Svalbard spans large climate gradients, associated with atmospheric circulation patterns and variations in ocean heat content and sea ice cover. Future precipitation increases are projected to peak in the northeast and to mainly occur in winter, but uncertainties underscore the need for reconstructions of long-term spatial and temporal variations in precipitation amounts and seasonality. We use lipid ...

  Ekstraordinære arbeidstakere på ordinære arbeidsplasser – arbeidsvilkår, medvirkning, annengjøring og ableisme for arbeidstakere med utviklingshemming 

  Foss, Andrea Berg (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-26)

  I artikkelen utforsker jeg hvordan arbeidstakere med utviklingshemming opplever arbeidsvilkår og medvirkning i VTA-tiltak (varig tilrettelagt arbeid) på ordinær arbeidsplass. Arbeidstakerne opplever utfordringer med å finne arbeidsoppgaver, og noen opplever lave forventninger fra ledelsen. De beskriver å ha noe medvirkning, men at det stilles få krav til dem. Vilkårene de tilbys som arbeidstakere, ...

  Exploring Staphylococcus aureus Adaptation in In vitro Colonization and Infection Models: A Transcriptomics Approach 

  Bastakoti Belbase, Srijana (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2024-06-14)

  Individuals colonized by <i>S. aureus</i>, face a higher risk of <i>S. aureus</i> infections compared to non-carriers, and some throat carriers are prone to recurrent colonization even after antibiotic treatment. While <i>S. aureus</i> nasal colonization is well-studied, there is limited information about throat colonization. Our research aims to address this knowledge gap by exploring <i>S. aureus</i> ...

  Co-culturing with Streptococcus anginosus alters Staphylococcus aureus transcriptome when exposed to tonsillar cells 

  Bastakoti, Srijana; Pesonen, Maiju; Ajayi, Clément; Julin, Kjersti; Corander, Jukka; Johannessen, Mona Susan; Hanssen, Anne-Merethe Christiansen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2024-01-25)

  <p><i>Introduction:</i> Improved understanding of <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> throat colonization in the presence of other co-existing microbes is important for mapping <i>S. aureus</i> adaptation to the human throat, and recurrence of infection. Here, we explore the responses triggered by the encounter between two common throat bacteria, <i>S. aureus</i> and <i>Streptococcus anginosus</i>, to ...
