  Impact of physiotherapy access on health-related quality of life following hip fracture: an observational study on 30 752 hip fractures from the Norwegian Hip Fracture Register 2014–2018 

  Kjærvik, Cato; Gjertsen, Jan-Erik; Stensland, Eva; Taraldsen, Kristin; Uleberg, Bård Erling; Søreide, Odd (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-06-06)

  Objectives - The main objective of this study was to investigate the characteristics of patients receiving private community physiotherapy (PT) the first year after a hip fracture. Second, to determine whether utilisation of PT could improve health-related quality of life (HRQoL).<p> <p>Methods - In an observational cohort study, 30 752 hip fractures from the Norwegian Hip Fracture Register were ...

  A social and ethical game-changer? An empirical ethics study of CRISPR in the salmon farming industry 

  Winther, Hannah; Blix, Torill Pauline Bakkelund; Holm, Lotte; Myhr, Anne Ingeborg; Myskja, Bjørn Kåre (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-08)

  The genome editing technology CRISPR is described as a technological game-changer because of its flexibility and precision, and as an ethical game-changer due to its ability to engineer traits in living organisms without crossing species, avoiding a significant objection to genetically modified organisms (GMOs). In salmon farming, applications of CRISPR in breeding hold the promise of handling ...

  Graph-based Forecasting with Missing Data through Spatiotemporal Downsampling 

  Marisca, Ivan; Alippi, Cesare; Bianchi, Filippo Maria (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2024-04-16)

  Given a set of synchronous time series, each associated with a sensor-point in space and characterized by inter-series relationships, the problem of spatiotemporal forecasting consists of predicting future observations for each point. Spatiotemporal graph neural networks achieve striking results by representing the relationships across time series as a graph. Nonetheless, most existing methods rely ...

  Spousal bereavement and its effects on later life physical and cognitive capability: the Tromsø study 

  Strand, Bjørn Heine; Håberg, Asta; Eyjólfsdóttir, Harpa Sif; Kok, Almar; Skirbekk, Vegard Fykse; Huxhold, Oliver; Løset, Gøril Kvamme; Lennartsson, Carin; Schirmer, Henrik; Herlofson, Katharina; Veenstra, Marijke (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-09)

  Spousal bereavement is associated with health declines and increased mortality risk, but its specific impact on physical and cognitive capabilities is less studied. A historical cohort study design was applied including married Tromsø study participants (N=5739) aged 50–70 years with baseline self-reported overall health and health-related factors and measured capability (grip strength, finger ...

  Weakened pelagic-benthic coupling on an Arctic outflow shelf (Northeast Greenland) suggested by benthic ecosystem changes 

  Bodur, Yasemin Vicdan; Renaud, Paul Eric; Lins, Lidia; Da Costa Monteiro, Luana; Ambrose, William; Felden, Janine; Krumpen, Thomas; Wenzhöfer, Frank; Włodarska-Kowalczuk, Maria; Braeckman, Ulrike (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2024-01-24)

  Arctic marine ecosystems are becoming more boreal due to climate change. Predictions of ecosystem change focus mainly on Arctic inflow or interior shelves, with few comprehensive studies on Arctic outflow regions. During September–October 2017, soft-bottom communities were sampled and benthic ecosystem processes were quantified at 12 stations on the Northeast Greenland shelf (outflow shelf) and ...
