  Simuleringsbasert teamtrening virker 

  Brattebø, Guttorm; Ersdal, Hege Langli; Wisborg, Torben (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-09)

  Trening av tverrprofesjonelle team med bruk av simulering brukes særlig ved forberedelse til akuttmedisinske situasjoner. Det foreligger nå god dokumentasjon for at slik trening har betydning for pasientene. 27. mars 1977 skjedde verdens hittil verste flykatastrofe, der 583 personer omkom på Tenerife etter at to jumbojeter kolliderte på flyplassen i tett tåke. Granskningen etter katastrofen ...

  Effect on the longitudinal coherence properties of a pseudothermal light source as a function of source size and temporal coherence 

  Ahmad, Azeem; Mahanty, Tanmoy; Dubey, Vishesh; Butola, Ankit; Ahluwalia, Balpreet Singh; Mehta, Dalip Singh (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-01)

  In the present Letter, a synthesized pseudothermal light source having high temporal coherence (TC) and low spatial coherence (SC) properties is used. The longitudinal coherence (LC) properties of the spatially extended monochromatic light source are systematically studied. The pseudothermal light source is generated from two different monochromatic laser sources: He–Ne (at 632 nm) and DPSS (at 532 ...

  Themes within lecturers' views on the teaching of linear algebra 

  Rensaa, Ragnhild Johanne; Hogstad, Ninni Marie; Monaghan, John David (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-25)

  This paper reports on themes that arose in an investigation of university lecturers’ views on the teaching of linear algebra. This focus on themes was the initial part of a study concentrating on four areas: What is important to teach in a first course in linear algebra? Are there teaching methods which are particularly suited for such a course? Are there tools that should/should not be used; and ...

  Impact of Osteoporotic Fracture Type and Subsequent Fracture on Mortality: The Tromsø Study 

  Alarkawi, Dunia; Bluic, Dana; Tran, T; Ahmed, Luai A; Emaus, Nina; Bjørnerem, Åshild; Jørgensen, Lone; Cristoffersen, T.; Eisman, JA; Center, JR (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-26)

  <i>Summary</i> - Less is known about the impact of non-hip non-vertebral fractures (NHNV) on early death. This study demonstrated increased risk of dying following hip and NHNV fractures which was further increased by a subsequent fracture. This highlights the importance of early intervention to prevent both initial and subsequent fractures and improve survival.<p> <p><i>Introduction</i> - ...
