Age and hafnium isotope evolution of Sudanese Butana and Chad illuminates the Stenian to Ediacaran evolution of the south and east Sahara
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-22)The Saharan Metacraton is a poorly known tract of pre-Neoproterozoic continental crust that occupies the area between the juvenile Arabian Nubian Shield, in the east, and the Tuareg Shield to the west. Neoproterozoic orogenesis (i.e. Oubanguides and East African orogenies) affect the west, the south and the east of the metacraton, respectively, which led to deformation, emplacement of igneous bodies, ... -
Age prediction by deep learning applied to Greenland halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides) otolith images
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-04)Otoliths (ear-stones) in the inner ears of vertebrates containing visible year zones are used extensively to determine fish age. Analysis of otoliths is a time-consuming and difficult task that requires the education of human experts. Human age estimates are inconsistent, as several readings by the same human expert might result in different ages assigned to the same otolith, in addition to an ... -

AgNO3 Sterilizes Grains of Barley (Hordeum vulgare) without Inhibiting Germination—A Necessary Tool for Plant–Microbiome Research
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-17)To understand and manipulate the interactions between plants and microorganisms, sterile seeds are a necessity. The seed microbiome (inside and surface microorganisms) is unknown for most plant species and seed-borne microorganisms can persist and transfer to the seedling and rhizosphere, thereby obscuring the effects that purposely introduced microorganisms have on plants. This necessitates that ... -
Agta hunter-gatherer oral microbiomes are shaped by contact network structure
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-23)Here we investigate the effects of extensive sociality and mobility on the oral microbiome of 138 Agta hunter–gatherers from the Philippines. Our comparisons of microbiome composition showed that the Agta are more similar to Central African BaYaka hunter–gatherers than to neighbouring farmers. We also defined the Agta social microbiome as a set of 137 oral bacteria (only 7% of 1980 amplicon sequence ... -
AI in Future C2 – Who’s in Command When AI Takes Control?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)Artificial Intelligence (AI) will become an increasingly dominant element of future Command and Control (C2) systems and organizations. In this paper we discuss how to make effective use of this technology in time-critical decision-making situations, as we classify the relationships between human decision maker; the AI system; and the task or situation at hand, along two dimensions: Automation and ... -
AI-Driven High-Precision Model for Blockage Detection in Urban Wastewater Systems
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-26)In artificial intelligence (AI), computer vision consists of intelligent models to interpret and recognize the visual world, similar to human vision. This technology relies on a synergy of extensive data and human expertise, meticulously structured to yield accurate results. Tackling the intricate task of locating and resolving blockages within sewer systems is a significant challenge due to their ... -

Akuttplassering i barnevernsinstitusjoner: En systematisk kartleggingsoversikt
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2020)Vi sammenfattet studier fra 2010-2019 som har sett på praksiser (strategier, tilnærminger, tilbud, metoder, tiltak, o.l.) ved akuttplassering av barn og unge til barnevernsinstitusjoner. -
Alchemists needed, to transform bronze to gold!
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-13)Much Bronze OA is of little interest from an OA point of view, but there is a subset of Bronze that has potential to be converted to Diamond OA. This is the kind of Bronze where the lack of a formal OA status is not due to economic considerations, but lack of resources and/or competence. -
Alcohol consumption and lower risk of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality: the impact of accounting for familial factors in twins
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-20)Background. A moderate to high alcohol consumption is associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in comparison with low consumption. The mechanisms underlying this association are not clear and have been suggested to be caused by residual confounding. The main objective of this study was to separate the familial and individual risk for CVD mortality and all-cause mortality ... -

The allosteric modulation of complement c5 by knob domain peptides
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-11)Bovines have evolved a subset of antibodies with ultra-long heavy chain complementarity determining regions that harbour cysteine-rich knob domains. To produce high-affinity peptides, we previously isolated autonomous 3–6 kDa knob domains from bovine antibodies. Here, we show that binding of four knob domain peptides elicits a range of effects on the clinically validated drug target complement C5. ... -
Alterations in inflammatory markers after a 12-week exercise program in individuals with schizophrenia—a randomized controlled trial
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-11)Background: In individuals with schizophrenia, inflammation is associated with depression, somatic comorbidity and reduced quality of life. Physical exercise is known to reduce inflammation in other populations, but we have only limited knowledge in the field of schizophrenia. We assessed inflammatory markers in plasma samples from individuals with schizophrenia participating in an exercise intervention ...
