Considering Silences in Narrative Inquiry: An Intergenerational Story of a Sami Family
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-03)Through coming alongside a Sami family, we open spaces to contemplate multiple forms of silence. We argue that rather than the antithesis to narrative, silence is an integral part of narrative inquiry. As narrative inquirers we need to be wakeful to what is told and also untold, often simultaneously. We believe that narrative inquiry is not necessarily about breaking silences, but it is also about ... -

(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2012-05-15)Bakgrunn: Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) er en treningsform som blant annet har blitt brukt for gjenvinning av arm/håndfunksjon for pasienter med hjerneslag. Denne metoden kjennetegnes av høy intensitet og oppgaveorientert trening. Det synes å være lite belyst hvilke faglige refleksjoner fysioterapeuter har etter å ha brukt CIMT som treningsmetode.

Construction of a fur null mutant and RNA-sequencing provide deeper global understanding of the Aliivibrio salmonicida Fur regulon
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-07-13)<i>Background:</i> The ferric uptake regulator (Fur) is a transcription factor and the main regulator of iron acquisition in prokaryotes. When bound to ferric iron, Fur recognizes its DNA binding site and generally executes its function by repressing transcription of its target genes. Due to its importance in virulence, the Fur regulon is well studied for several model bacteria. In our previous ... -

Consumption of Whole-Grain Bread and Risk of Colorectal Cancer among Norwegian Women (the NOWAC Study)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-01-13)There is evidence that consumption of foods containing dietary fiber decreases the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). Whole grains contain dietary fiber, as well as a range of micronutrients and bioactive compounds, but the association between the consumption of whole grains and the risk of CRC remains less studied. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between whole-grain ... -
Contact with parents from childhood to adulthood – a longitudinal study of children in kinship care and non-kinship care
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-12)Previous research on parental contact for children in foster care shows that contact frequency is significantly related to parent’s gender and placement type. Yet very few studies have explored the impact of gender and type of placement on parental contact over time. Based on longitudinal quantitative data from kinship care and non-kinship care placements in Norway, we analyse contact between children ... -

Content of endothelial progenitor cells in autologous stem cellgrafts predict survival after transplantation for multiplemyeloma
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-14)Multiple myeloma (MM) is considered an incurable B cell malignancy, although many patients can benefit from high-dose therapy with autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) as a first-line treatment. In nonHodgkin lymphoma (NHL), ASCT is usually performed after relapse with curative intent. Disease progression is often associated with increased angiogenesis, in which endothelial progenitor cells ...
