Dårlig regulert diabetes – Hva genererer endring? En kvalitativ intervjustudie som undersøker pasienters erfaring med å endre en langvarig dårlig glykemisk kontroll og danne kunnskap om hvilke faktorer som bidrar til en slik endring
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-09-03)Bakgrunn: Denne oppgaven handler om hvordan personer med diabetes mellitus type 1 og langvarig dårlig glykemisk kontroll, har klart å endre til en jevnere og mer optimal glykemisk kontroll, samt hvordan de har klart å vedlikeholde denne endringen. Målet var å utvikle kunnskap om hva som genererer endring i glykemisk kontroll hos denne gruppen med type 1 diabetes. Det var samt en hensikt og forsøkte ... -
The DBP Phenotype Gc-1f/Gc-1f is associated with reduced risk of cancer. The Tromsø Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-05-18)Background and Objective In addition to its role as a transport protein, the vitamin D binding protein (DBP) may also affect lipid metabolism, inflammation and carcinogenesis.

Death after trauma in the rural High North
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2013-09-18)The work of this thesis was initiated because Finnmark County had a mortality rate from external causes well above national average for several decades. The aims of the thesis were to 1) investigate possible reasons for Finnmark’s’ elevated death rate from external causes, 2) identify challenges that a trauma system in Scandinavia must be tailored to meet, and 3) find access points to limit ... -
Debate in science: The case of acculturation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2006)The acculturation paradigm of measuring assimilation, separation, integration and marginalization confuses dimensional and categorical conceptions of its constructs, fails to produce ipsative data from mutually exclusive scales, misoperationalizes marginalization as distress, mismeasures biculturalism using double-barreled questions instead of computing it from unicultural measures, and then tends ... -
Decentralization matters - Differently organized mental health services relationship to staff competence and treatment practice : the VELO study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2009-05-18)Background: The VELO study is a comparative study of two Community Mental Health Centres (CMHC) in Northern Norway. The CMHCs are organized differently: one has no local inpatient unit, the other has three. Both CMHCs use the Central Mental Hospital situated rather far away for compulsory and other admissions, but one uses mainly local beds while the other uses only central hospital beds. In ... -

Deciphering human cell type enriched transcriptomes across tissue types and the functional study of the endothelial enriched protein KANK3
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2023-11-13)The identification of cell type-specific genes and their modification under certain conditions is essential for our understanding of the human body. Such knowledge also allows us to study the function of uncharacterised genes in the correct cell type. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) can be used to profile different cell types, but cell removal and processing can introduce artifacts. In the ... -
