Ice conditions in northern Norwegian fjords: Observations and measurements from three winter seasons, 2017–2020
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-31)Freshwater provided by rivers beginning deep within the mountains, feeds into fjords along the coast of Norway, often forming a brackish surface layer that will change in its salinity, thickness, and extent throughout the year. As temperature drops below freezing, ice can form from this layer along the entire coastline from 71◦ N down to 58◦ N. The influence of freshwater combined with changing ... -

Iceberg melting substantially modifies oceanic heat flux towards a major Greenlandic tidewater glacier
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-25)Fjord dynamics influence oceanic heat flux to the Greenland ice sheet. Submarine iceberg melting releases large volumes of freshwater within Greenland’s fjords, yet its impact on fjord dynamics remains unclear. We modify an ocean model to simulate submarine iceberg melting in Sermilik Fjord, east Greenland. Here we find that submarine iceberg melting cools and freshens the fjord by up to ~5 °C and ... -
Iconic Arctic Shipwrecks, Archaeology, and Museum Narratives
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-08-07)This article reflects on three Arctic shipwrecks currently being reclaimed for future exhibition. Two are icons of polar exploration. <i>Maud</i> was built for Roald Amundsen's North Pole expedition (1917–1925) and <i>Belgica</i> was used in the first Antarctic overwintering expedition (1897–1899). The salvage of <i>Maud</i> in Canada and the ship's return to Norway in 2018 was privately financed. ... -
ICT-mediated social work practice and innovation: professionals’ experiences in the Norwegian Labour And Welfare Administration
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)The widespread adoption of ICT today has a significant impact on the social work profession. In the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration (NAV), a new specialization, ICT-mediated or digital social work, is taking shape. It requires new knowledge, including guidelines for theories, methods and ethics to support skilful ICT use for professional goals. This article combines Rogers’ diffusion ... -
Identification and molecular characterization of Brucella abortus and Brucella melitensis isolated from milk in cattle in Azerbaijan
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-15)Background - Azerbaijan currently ranks thirteenth in global incidence of human brucellosis, with an estimated annual incidence through 2000 at over 50 cases per million. Brucella melitensis has been isolated from patients and is thought to have been acquired through contact with small ruminants or as a foodborne infection. To reduce the burden of human brucellosis, the Azerbaijani government began ... -
Identification of potential carcinogenic and chemopreventive effects of prescription drugs: A protocol for a Norwegian registry-based study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-08)<i>Introduction</i> - Surveillance of unintended effects of pharmaceuticals (pharmacovigilance or drug safety) is crucial, as knowledge of rare or late side effects is limited at the time of the introduction of new medications into the market. Side effects of drugs may involve increased or decreased risk of cancer, but these typically appear after a long induction period. This fact, together with ... -
Identification of the factor XII contact activation site enables sensitive coagulation diagnostics
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-22)Contact activation refers to the process of surface-induced activation of factor XII (FXII), which initiates blood coagulation and is captured by the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) assay. Here, we show the mechanism and diagnostic implications of FXII contact activation. Screening of recombinant FXII mutants identified a continuous stretch of residues Gln317–Ser339 that was essential ... -
Identifying gravity waves launched by the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha′apai volcanic eruption in mesosphere/lower-Thermosphere winds derived from CONDOR and the Nordic Meteor Radar Cluster
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-18)The Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha'apai volcano eruption was a unique event that caused many atmospheric phenomena around the globe. In this study, we investigate the atmospheric gravity waves in the mesosphere/lowerthermosphere (MLT) launched by the volcanic explosion in the Pacific, leveraging multistatic meteor radar observations from the Chilean Observation Network De Meteor Radars (CONDOR) and the ... -
IL-18 and IL-18 binding protein are related to disease severity and parasitemia during falciparum malaria
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-18)Background - Several inflammatory molecules participate in the immune response to malaria. Interleukin (IL)-18 is an inflammatory cytokine activated by NLRP3 inflammasomes. In clinical falciparum malaria, with and without HIV co-infection, data on IL-18 and in particular on its binding protein, IL-18bp, is scarce.<p> <p>Methods - Clinical data and blood samples were collected from adults in ... -
ILSAs in Aesthetics in school – which competences develops through drama in learning processes
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022-09-22)This chapter discusses the role of aesthetic education with a focus on educational drama and theatre. It investigates the lack of international large-scale studies (ILSA) in the field of aesthetic education and exemplifies how to measure competence development in one of the aesthetic subjects: drama, based on the international mixed method large-scale assessment study DICE (Drama Improves Lisbon Key ... -
Immune complexes, innate immunity, and NETosis in ChAdOx1 vaccine-induced thrombocytopenia
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-18)Aims - We recently reported five cases of vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) 7–10 days after receiving the first dose of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 adenoviral vector vaccine against corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We aimed to investigate the pathogenic immunological responses operating in these patients.<p> <p>Methods and results - We assessed circulating inflammatory markers ... -
Impact of a cognitive stimulation program on the reading comprehension of children in primary education
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-06)Introduction: At present, numerous studies can be found in which influences and relationships between the principal executive functions, reading comprehension, and academic performance associated with reading are reported. However, there is still a lack of convergence regarding the impact of computerized cognitive training on children’s executive development and its transfer in academic reading ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-02)<i>Introduction</i> - Appropriate antenatal care (ANC) utilization has direct, significant effects on perinatal mortality (PM). Georgia has one of the highest PM rates (11.7 per 1000 births) in Europe and launched a more intensive ANC programme in 2018.<p> <p><i>Aim</i> - To evaluate the associations between the Adequacy of Prenatal Care Utilization (APNCU) index and neonatal intensive care unit ... -
Impact of childhood trauma on antipsychotic effectiveness in schizophrenia spectrum disorders: A prospective, pragmatic, semi-randomized trial
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-13)Antipsychotic medications are generally effective in ameliorating psychotic symptoms in schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSDs). Identifying predictors associated with poor treatment response is important for a personalized treatment approach.

Impact of fetal trisomy 21 on umbilical artery Doppler indices
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-27)Objectives - Umbilical artery (UA) Doppler indices are surrogate measures of placental function, most commonly used to assess fetal wellbeing in pregnancies with fetal growth restriction. Fetuses with trisomy 21 (t21) are reported to have elevated UA Doppler indices, but reference percentiles are currently lacking for this population. We hypothesized that gestational age-specific values of UA Doppler ...
