  Justice and suffering. The aim and consequences of punishment. A philosophical investigation of the aim and consequences of punishment in the case of Italian legislation and prison practices. 

  Caronello, Maddalena (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-10-24)

  This work explores the philosophical and legal justifications for punishment, with a special focus on the Italian criminal system and the contradiction between its constitutional emphasis on rehabilitation and the harsh realities of its prisons. It first compares retributivist and consequentialist theories, and argues that rehabilitation offers a stronger ethical foundation for punishment than ...

  Plasma soluble TIM-3 is increased in normoglycemic South Asian women compared to Nordic women after gestational diabetes mellitus and associated with markers of metaflammation 

  Grannes, Helene; Sharma, Archana; Suntharalingam, Anita; Michelsen, Annika Elisabet; Aukrust, Pål; Ueland, Thor; Birkeland, Kåre Inge; Gregersen, Ida; Lee-Ødegård, Sindre; Halvorsen, Bente (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-11-30)

  Background - Women with South Asian ethnicity have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) compared with white women of European descent, especially after gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Central obesity and adipose tissue dysfunction have been linked to their higher risk of T2DM, but the mechanisms are not known. We hypothesize that low-grade, persistent immune cell activation ...

  Alcohol and cause-specific mortality in Russia: the Know Your Heart Study 2015–23 

  Mitkin, Nikita Andreevich; Brenn, Tormod Ola; Unguryanu, Tatiana N.; Malyutina, Sofia; Cook, Sarah; Kudryavtsev, Alexander V. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-11-12)

  Background - Alcohol-related mortality in Russia exceeds the world average and presents a critical public health concern. This study assesses the impact of alcohol consumption levels on mortality and investigates mortality predictors among Russians, including people treated for alcohol-related diagnoses (narcology patients).<p> <p>Methods - We examined 2629 men and women aged 35–69 years who ...

  Impact of varying solar angles on Arctic iceberg area retrieval from Sentinel-2 near-infrared data 

  Fisser, Henrik; Doulgeris, Anthony Paul; Høyland, Knut Vilhelm (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-11-18)

  Icebergs are part of the glacial mass balance and they interact with the ocean and with sea ice. Optical satellite remote sensing is often used to retrieve the above-waterline area of icebergs. However, varying solar angles introduce an error to the iceberg area retrieval that had not been quantified. Herein, we approximate the iceberg area error for top-of-atmosphere Sentinel-2 near-infrared data ...

  Melting simulations of high-entropy carbonitrides by deep learning potentials 

  Baidyshev, Viktor S.; Tantardini, Christian; Kvashnin, Alexander G. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-11-19)

  The melting temperature is a crucial property of materials that determines their potential applications in different industrial fields. In this study, we used a deep neural network potential to describe the structure of high-entropy (TiZrTaHfNb)CxN1−x carbonitrides (HECN) in both solid and liquid states. This approach allows us to predict heating and cooling temperatures depending on the nitrogen ...
