• Zooplankton fecal pellet flux drives the biological carbon pump during the winter–spring transition in a high-Arctic system 

  Darnis, Gérald; Geoffroy, Maxime; Daase, Malin Hildegard Elisabeth; Lalande, Catherine; Søreide, Janne; Leu, Eva; Renaud, Paul Eric; Berge, Jørgen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-06-24)

  Recent research highlighted significant marine biological activity during the Arctic winter, with poorly known implications for the biological carbon pump. We used moored instruments to (1) track the development of the pelagic food web of a high-Arctic marine ecosystem from winter to spring, and (2) assess the role of zooplanktonmediated processes in the sinking export of particulate organic carbon ...
• Longitudinal assessment of classic and 11-oxygenated androgen concentrations and their association with type 2 diabetes mellitus development: the Tromsø study 

  Allaoui, Giovanni; Rylander, Karin Charlotta Maria; Fuskevåg, Ole Martin; Grimnes, Guri; Averina, Maria; Wilsgaard, Tom; Berg, Vivian Hætta (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-03-18)

  Aim We aimed to investigate changes in pre-diagnostic concentrations of classic and 11-oxygenated androgens in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) cases and healthy controls, associations between androgen concentrations and T2DM, and the potential for androgens to improve the prediction of T2DM when considered in combination with established risk factors.<p> <p>Methods Androgen concentrations were analysed ...
• Molecular histopathology of matrix proteins through autofluorescence super-resolution microscopy 

  Ghosh, Biswajoy; Chatterjee, Jyotirmoy; Paul, Ranjan Rashmi; Acuña, Sebastian; Lahiri, Pooja; Pal, Mousumi; Mitra, Pabitra; Agarwal, Krishna (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-05-08)

  Extracellular matrix diseases like fibrosis are elusive to diagnose early on, to avoid complete loss of organ function or even cancer progression, making early diagnosis crucial. Imaging the matrix densities of proteins like collagen in fixed tissue sections with suitable stains and labels is a standard for diagnosis and staging. However, fine changes in matrix density are difficult to realize by ...

  Key internal drivers for an SME’s dynamic ambidextrous growth strategy: A case study of a Norwegian seafood group 

  Hannevig, Hilde Margrethe; Bertheussen, Bernt Arne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-10-04)

  This qualitative, explorative case study presents a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) in Norway that successfully pursued a dynamic ambidextrous growth strategy. The study applies a micro-foundation perspective and focuses on identifying and describing key internal drivers behind the group’s ambidextrous strategy. The empirical findings underscore ambidextrous owner-managers’ pivotal role ...

  Patient-reported symptoms before adjuvant locoregional radiotherapy for breast cancer: triple-negative histology impacts the symptom burden 

  Nieder, Carsten; Johnsen, Silje Kristine; Winther, Annette M.; Mannsåker, Bård (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-03-26)

  Background Multimodal breast cancer treatment may cause side effects reflected in patient-reported outcomes and/or symptom scores at the time of treatment planning for adjuvant radiotherapy. In our department, all patients have been assessed with the Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS; a questionnaire addressing 11 major symptoms and wellbeing on a numeric scale of 0–10) at the time of ...
