Methods: We used multigroup structural equation modeling. Results: HIV and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) knowledge mediated the relationship between IH and sexual risk behavior among MSM in Spain, but not among men in ... -
Intensive tiltak for å redusere skolefravær: systematisk litteratursøk med sortering
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2022-10)Høyt fravær fra skolen er en stor utfordring. Eleven går glipp av mye opplæring, og det kan føre til at eleven ikke får standpunktkarakter. Høyt fravær en også en risikofaktor for frafall på videregående skole. I Norge faller en av fire elever fra videregående opplæring. Ulike tiltak vil kunne hjelpe eleven møte på skolen og fullføre opplæringen.<p> <p>Vi undersøkte hvilke sekundær- og ... -

The effect of machine learning tools for evidence synthesis on resource use and time-to-completion: protocol for a retrospective pilot study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-17)Background Machine learning (ML) tools exist that can reduce or replace human activities in repetitive or complex tasks.

Underutilization may be partially explained by a paucity of evidence on how ML tools can reduce ... -
Novel approach to artefact detection and the definition of normal ranges of segmental strain and strain-rate values
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-13)Aims - Strain artefacts are known to hamper the correct interpretation of segmental strain and strain-rate (S/SR). Defining the normal ranges of myocardial segmental deformation is important in clinical studies and routine echocardiographic practice.
