Effects of instagram sports posts on the athletic motivation of female elite athletes: Do they inspire or backfire?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2021-10-08)The social networking site Instagram provides users with an abundance of photos and information in many domains including sports. The posts are often intended to inspire and motivate users. We argue that the display of success and failure of professional athletes may influence elite athletes’ own sports ambitions. Research has shown that exposure to positive ingroup stereotypes and exposure to ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2022-01-17)<p><i>Background -</i> The proportion of venous thromboembolism (VTE) events that can be attributed to established prothrombotic genotypes has been scarcely investigated in the general population. We aimed to estimate the proportion of VTEs in the population that could be attributed to established prothrombotic genotypes using a population-based case-cohort. <p><i>Methods -</i> Cases with incident ... -
Phosphoproteomic analysis identifies supervillin as an ERK3 substrate regulating cytokinesis and cell ploidy
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-28)Extracellular signal-regulated kinase 3 (ERK3) is a poorly characterized member of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase family. Functional analysis of the ERK3 signaling pathway has been hampered by a lack of knowledge about the substrates and downstream effectors of the kinase. Here, we used large-scale quantitative phosphoproteomics and targeted gene silencing to identify direct ERK3 substrates ... -
No Effect of Calanus Oil on Maximal Oxygen Uptake in Healthy Participants: A Randomized Controlled Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2022-08-23)We aimed to investigate the long-term effect of daily Calanus oil supplementation on maximal oxygen uptake (VO<sub>2</sub>max) in healthy 30- to 50-year-old participants. The study was motivated by preclinical studies reporting increased VO<sub>2</sub>max and metabolic health with omega-3 rich Calanus oil. In a double-blinded study, 71 participants were randomized to receive 2 g/day of Calanus or ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2022-04)<p><i>Introduction:</i> Early markers of neurodegeneration provide an opportunity to detect, monitor, and initiate interventions in individuals who have an increased risk of developing dementia. Here, we investigated whether the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test is associated with early brain neurodegeneration and whether the TUG test could be a marker of cognitive decline in people with subjective cognitive ... -
High prevalence of Merkel cell polyomavirus is associated with dysregulation in transcript levels of TLR9 and type I IFNs in a large cohort of CF patients from the Italian (Lazio) reference center for cystic fibrosis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-13)Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) has been detected in respiratory specimens including those from Cystic Fibrosis (CF) patients, raising questions about its immunological and clinical relevance in the respiratory tract. MCPyV might promote an inappropriate antiviral response contributing to a chronic inflammatory response and resulting in detrimental effects in CF. Respiratory samples (n = 1138) were ... -
Overexpression of miR-20a-5p in Tumor Epithelium Is an Independent Negative Prognostic Indicator in Prostate Cancer — A Multi-Institutional Study
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave; Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-26)<p><i>Background:</i> MicroRNAs (miRs) have critical regulatory roles in cell functions, and are involved in prostate cancer tumorigenesis. miR-20a-5p is a member of the oncogenic miR-17-92 cluster. Overexpressed miR-20a-5p has been shown to increase both cell proliferation and cell migration in cancers. The aim of our cohort study was to evaluate the prognostic role of miR-20a-5p in prostate cancer. ... -

Regression-based norms for the FAS phonemic fluency test for ages 40–84 based on a Norwegian sample
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2023-01-06)The FAS phonemic fluency test is a commonly used neuropsychological test of executive function and processing speed. Although Norwegian discrete norms have been developed for the FAS test, American regression-based norms are frequently used by clinicians in Norway. However, language and cultural differences impact performance on the FAS test, and using foreign norms may not be appropriate. Moreover, ... -
Cross-Ancestry Investigation of Venous Thromboembolism Genomic Predictors
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2022)<p><i>Background:</i> Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a life-threatening vascular event with environmental and genetic determinants. Recent VTE genome-wide association studies (GWAS) meta-analyses involved nearly 30 000 VTE cases and identified up to 40 genetic loci associated with VTE risk, including loci not previously suspected to play a role in hemostasis. The aim of our research was to expand ... -

Note to first-year university students: Just do it! In the end, the fact that you study may be more important than how you study.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-20)Education is important to society, yet many students do not complete the educations they start. In the present study of 426 students at a Norwegian university, we examined the predictive value of study-related variables with regard to student status one and five years after initial enrollment (stayers versus dropouts). The logistic regression analyses indicated that older students and students who ... -
Neuroendocrinology of sexual behavior
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-08)One of the consequences of sexual behavior is reproduction. Thus, this behavior is essential for the survival of the species. However, the individual engaged in sexual behavior is rarely aware of its reproductive consequences. In fact, the human is probably the only species in which sexual acts may be performed with the explicit purpose of reproduction. Most human sexual activities as well as sex ... -

Sharing food with infants in Hadza communities in Tanzania
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-28)By analyzing mealtime interactions of Tanzanian Hadza infants with their interactional partners, we explored how two foundational schemas, namely giving/sharing and autonomy are realized and fostered in infants. We focused on three aspects of the mealtime interactions, namely how the infants’ share was protected, whether independent eating was fostered by the infants’ interactional partners, and ... -
Stable or unstable associations between learning environment factors, study approaches and exam grades: cross-sectional analyses across two consecutive program years
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-31)Studies into the relationships between learning environment perceptions, approaches to studying, and academic outcomes have largely followed cross-sectional designs. As a result, knowledge is sparse with regards to whether, or to what degree, the established associations are consistent across years of study. This study aimed to (i) examine associations between occupational therapy students’ academic ...
