The 1769 Transit of Venus as a Springboard for Jesuit Ministries among the Learned
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-06)This article examines how two Jesuit astronomers made use of a rare celestial phenomenon in attempts at winning the favor of intellectual and ruling élites outside of Catholic regions. The Heidelberg professor Christian Mayer (1719–83) went to Saint Petersburg, where he observed the transit of Venus in 1769 from the observatory of the prestigious Imperial Academy of Sciences. The imperial and ... -

Around 57 participating teams from various countries compete to achieve state-of-the-art in aerial agriculture semantic segmentation. The Agriculture-Vision ... -
20 years of research on Arctic and Indigenous cultures in Nordic tourism: a review and future research agenda
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-15)Through a critical reading of previous research, this article explores local and indigenous cultures in the context of Nordic Arctic tourism and how its consequences have been researched in Nordic tourism research. We show that experiences with, practices of and controversies over the representation and presence (or absence) of local and indigenous culture in tourism take on very many different ... -
A 24,000-year ancient DNA and pollen record from the Polar Urals reveals temporal dynamics of arctic and boreal plant communities
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-18)A 24,000-year record of plant community dynamics, based on pollen and ancient DNA from the sediments (sedaDNA) of Lake Bolshoye Shchuchye in the Polar Ural Mountains, provides detailed information on the flora of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and also changes in plant community composition and dominance. It greatly improves on incomplete records from short and fragmented stratigraphic sequences ... -

30-day mortality in patients treated for brain metastases: extracranial causes dominate
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-12)Background: Established prognostic models, such as the diagnosis-specific graded prognostic assessment, were not designed to specifically address very short survival. Therefore, a brain metastases-specific 30-day mortality model may be relevant. We hypothesized that in-depth evaluation of a carefully defined cohort with short survival, arbitrarily defined as a maximum of 3 months, may provide ... -

50 år med kognitiv psykologi
(Working paper; Arbeidsnotat, 2006-09)Kognitiv psykologi er vanligvis kjent som den delen av psykologien hvor man er opptatt av prosesser som hukommelse, oppmerksomhet, persepsjon, problemløsning og språk – de "tørre" temaene i psykologien. Denne utbredte oppfatningen av feltet er imidlertid ikke helt dekkende. Den kognitive psykologien er ikke nødvendigvis definert ut fra hvilke temaer dens utøvere typisk studerer, men snarere ut ... -

The 7th Annual Munin Conference on Scientific Publishing : New Trends
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2012)Universitetsbiblioteket i Tromsø arrangerer hvert år en Muninkonferanse som omhandler vitenskapelig publisering, ofte med en Open Access vri. Årets tema var “new trends in scholarly publishing”. Årets hovedinnledere var John Willinsky og Damian Pattinson. John Willinsky er professor ved Stanford University School of Education, og har lenge vært sentral i utviklingen av åpent tilgjengelig vitenskapelig ... -
The 9+ screening test score does not predict injuries in elite floorball players
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-05)We aimed to examine whether the 9+ screening test score could predict injuries in elite floorball players. Eighty‐four elite floorball players participated in the study. At baseline, two physiotherapists assessed the participants using the 9+ screening test. The test score reflects strength, stability, mobility, and functional movement pattern with an emphasis on the lower body and core. Injuries ... -
A-CHAIM: Near-Real-Time Data Assimilation of the High Latitude Ionosphere With a Particle Filter
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-28)The Assimilative Canadian High Arctic Ionospheric Model (A-CHAIM) is an operational ionospheric data assimilation model that provides a 3D representation of the high latitude ionosphere in Near-Real-Time (NRT). A-CHAIM uses low-latency observations of slant Total Electron Content (sTEC) from ground-based Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers, ionosondes, and vertical TEC from ... -
A.E. Nordenskiöld in Swedish memory: the origin and uses of Arctic heroism
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-11-01)For Nordic nations scientific activities in the Polar Regions proved significant in defining national identities and shaping scientific profiles. Starting in the nineteenth century and continuing throughout the next century, polar research proved instrumental in inculcating national honour and expressing small-state colonial aspirations. It provided a source of heroes for forging collective memory ... -
Abnormal phasic activity in saliency network, motor areas, and basal ganglia in Parkinson's disease during rhythm perception
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-29)Behavioral studies indicate that persons with Parkinson's disease have complexity dependent problems with the discrimination of auditory rhythms. Furthermore, neuroimaging studies show that rhythm processing activates many brain areas that overlap with areas affected by Parkinson's disease (PD). This study sought to investigate the neural correlates of rhythm processing in PD and healthy controls, ... -
Abrupt shifts of productivity and sea ice regimes at the western Barents Sea slope from the Last Glacial Maximum to the Bølling-Allerød interstadial
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-12)Advanced knowledge of spatio-temporal constraints on the Barents Sea Ice Sheet during the late Weichselian glaciation overshadows relatively limited understanding of seasonal sea ice (experiencing an annual advance-retreat cycle) and primary productivity trends accompanying massive, abrupt climate changes during glacial-deglacial cycles. Such paleo-reconstructions are crucial prerequisites for ... -
Academic integrity and the University Library’s role in the doctoral education.
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2017-04-10)Researchers meet an increasing amount of incentives that may lead to scientific misconduct (Edwards & Roy, 2017). A “publish or perish” culture is currently ruling, and quantity is emphasized over quality. Growth in the number of PhD students may lead to growth in competition for grants, future positions and the supervisors’ time. <p>Simultaneously, the PhD students are expected to follow the norms ... -
Accumulation of health complaints is associated with persistent musculoskeletal pain two years later in adolescents: The Fit Futures Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-29)There is limited knowledge on the association between different health complaints and the development of persistent musculoskeletal pain in adolescents. The aims of this study were to assess whether specific health complaints, and an accumulation of health complaints, in the first year of upper-secondary school, were associated with persistent musculoskeletal pain 2 years later. We used data from a ... -
Accuracy of Molecular Simulation-Based Predictions of koff Values: A Metadynamics Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-16)The koff values of ligands unbinding to proteins are key parameters for drug discovery. Their predictions based on molecular simulation may under- or overestimate experiment in a system- and/or technique-dependent way. Here we use an established method infrequent metadynamics, based on the AMBER force field to compute the koff of the ligand iperoxo (in clinical use) targeting the muscarinic receptor ...
