• Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) as sentinels for the elucidation of Arctic environmental change processes: a comprehensive review combined with ArcRisk project results 

  Carlsson, Pernilla; Breivik, Knut; Brorström-Lundén, Eva; Cousins, Ian; Christensen, Jesper; Grimalt, Joan O.; Halsall, Crispin; Kallenborn, Roland; Abass, Khaled; Lammel, Gerhard; Munthe, John; MacLeod, Matthew; Odland, Jon Øyvind; Pawlak, Janet; Rautio, Arja; Reiersen, Lars-Otto; Schlabach, Martin; Stemmler, Irene; Wilson, Simon; Wöhrnschimmel, Henry (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-28)

  Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) can be used as chemical sentinels for the assessment of anthropogenic influences on Arctic environmental change. We present an overview of studies on PCBs in the Arctic and combine these with the findings from ArcRisk—a major European Union-funded project aimed at examining the effects of climate change on the transport of contaminants to and their behaviour of in ...

  The prevalence of diabetes mellitus among Sami and non-Sami inhabitants of Northern Norway - The SAMINOR 1 Survey (2003-2004) and the SAMINOR 2 Clinical Survey (2012-2014) 

  Naseribafrouei, Ali; Eliassen, Bent-Martin; Melhus, Marita; Svartberg, Johan; Broderstad, Ann Ragnhild (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-14)

  <p><i>Introduction</i>: This study aimed to compare the prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) between Sami and non-Sami inhabitants of Northern Norway participating in the SAMINOR 1 Survey and the SAMINOR 2 Clinical Survey, and to track DM prevalence over time.</p> <p><i>Methods</i>: SAMINOR 1 (2003–2004) and SAMINOR 2 (2012–2014) are cross-sectional, population-based studies that each recruited ...

  Resolution-of-identity accelerated relativistic two- and four-component electron dynamics approach to chiroptical spectroscopies 

  Konecny, Lukas; Kadek, Marius; Komorovsky, Stanislav; Ruud, Kenneth; Repisky, Michal (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-27)

  We present an implementation and application of electron dynamics based on real-time time-dependent density functional theory (RT-TDDFT) and relativistic 2-component X2C and 4-component Dirac–Coulomb (4c) Hamiltonians to the calculation of electron circular dichroism and optical rotatory dispersion spectra. In addition, the resolution-of-identity approximation for the Coulomb term (RI-J) is introduced ...
• Rare and Nonexistent Nitrosyls: Periodic Trends and Relativistic Effects in Ruthenium and Osmium Porphyrin-Based {MNO}7 Complexes 

  Demissie, Taye Beyene; Conradie, Jeanet; Vazquez-Lima, Hugo; Ruud, Kenneth; Ghosh, Abhik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-14)

  Relativistic and nonrelativistic density functional theory calculations were used to investigate rare or nonexistent ruthenium and osmium analogues of nitrosylhemes. Strong ligand field effects and, to a lesser degree, relativistic effects were found to destabilize {RuNO}⁷ porphyrins relative to their {FeNO}⁷ analogues. Substantially stronger relativistic effects account for ...

  A Research Program for Studying LAMs and Community in the Digital Age 

  Vårheim, Andreas; Skare, Roswitha; Lenstra, Noah; Latham, Kiersten F.; Grenersen, Geir (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018)

  The paper outlines a research effort into the changing representations, policies, strategies, activities, and practices of libraries, archives, and museums (LAMs) in the digital age. Comprehensive social changes including big slow-moving processes, such as aging populations, global migration, technological change, and environmental change, expose communities and LAM institutions to vulnerabilities. ...
