Background - While regular physical activity is associated with reduced mortality and morbidity in general populations, health outcomes and functional capacity related to upholding strenuous endurance exercise beyond the age of 65 years are only sparsely studied. The aim of this study is to assess associations of prolonged strenuous endurance sport practice with ageing, functional decline, morbidity ...

The NO-RDA node aims to foster national, regional and international RDA engagement through a focus on areas of strategic importance for the Nordic region, such as Data Management Plans, FAIR Data Stewardship and management of sensitive data in research within the framework of current international and statutory regulations.

Objective: Ready for SDM was developed in Norway as a comprehensive modularized curriculum for health care providers (HCP). The current study evaluated the efficacy of one of the modules, a 2-hour interprofessional SDM training designed to enhance SDM competencies.<p> <p>Methods: A cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted with eight District Psychiatric Centres randomized to wait-list ...

Global Navigation Satellite Systems typically perform poorly in urban environments, where the likelihood of line-of-sight conditions between devices and satellites is low. Therefore, alternative location methods are required to achieve good accuracy. We present LocUNet: A convolutional, end-to-end trained neural network (NN) for the localization task, which is able to estimate the position of a user ...

Alpine skiing has been an Olympic event since the first Winter Games in 1936. Nowadays, skiers compete in four main events: slalom, giant slalom, super-G and downhill. Here, we present an update on the biomechanics of alpine ski racers and their equipment. The technical and tactical ability of today’s world-class skiers have adapted substantially to changes in equipment, snow conditions and courses. ...

Giftas (Getting married; 1884–86) has been marked by its scandalous reception among contemporary society. The semi-autobiographical collection of short stories depicting married life shook society and has cemented the perception of Strindberg as a misogynist author. Even if Strindberg and his publisher Albert Bonnier had expected certain turmoil, they could hardly have anticipated that they would ...

There has been growing discussion in Denmark regarding the decriminalisation of psychoactive drug use. In this context, we propose Axel Honneth’s theory of recognition as a useful approach to both understand the causes of dependency on psychoactive drugs and to provide an ethical lens through which to discuss whether drug use should be decriminalised or not. We propose that psychoactive drugs ...

Interplay of deep-water sedimentary processes is responsible for building a myriad of features and deposits across mixed turbidite–contourite systems, from <5 cm beds to >200 km long sedimentary drifts. Investigations of the spatial and temporal variability of their sedimentary facies and facies associations is crucial to reveal the dynamics between along-slope bottom currents and down-slope turbidity ...
