      Patil, Ravindra Rajaram; Calay, Rajnish K; Mustafa, Mohamad; Ansari, Saniya (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 ...

      Jacobsen Jardim, Patricia Sofia; Johansen, Trine Bjerke; Blaasvær, Nora; Ames, Heather Melanie R; Berg, Rigmor (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! 

      Frantsvåg, Jan Erik (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 

      Ystrøm, Eivind; Degerud, Eirik Magnus Meek; Tesli, Martin Steen; Høye, Anne; Reichborn-Kjennerud, Ted; Næss, Øyvind Erik (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 ...

      Background: In Europe, the COVID-19 pandemic triggered a range of restrictive measures, which may have impacted alcohol consumption. <p> <p>Objectives: We explored perceived changes in alcohol consumption, their association with so-ciodemographic characteristics and past year alcohol con-sumption, and self-reported reasons for change after CO-VID-19 restrictions in Norway. <p> <p>Method: A ...
    • "All I expect is that they accept that I am a Sami" an analysis of experiences of healthcare encounters and expectations for future care services among older South Sami in Norway 

      Ness, Tove Synnøve Mentsen; Munkejord, Mai Camilla (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-25)
      The aim of this study first aims to forward our empirical knowledge of how older Sami experience healthcare encounters in Norway and what they expect in terms of future care services, and second, to forward our understanding of how more culturally safe services could be offered to the Sami population, 30 years after they were officially recognised as an Indigenous People. A qualitative interpretative ...

    • The allosteric modulation of complement c5 by knob domain peptides 

      Macpherson, Alex; Laabei, Maisem; Ahdash, Zainab; Graewert, Melissa Ann; Birtley, James R.; Schulze, Monika-Sarah E.D.; Crennell, Susan; Robinson, Sarah A.; Holmes, Ben; Oleinikovas, Vladas; Nilsson, Per H.; Snowden, James; Ellis, Victoria; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Deane, Charlotte M.; Svergun, Dmitri I.; Lawson, Alastair D.G.; van den Elsen, Jean (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 

      Bigseth, Therese Torgersen; Engh, John Bjarne Abel; Andersen, Eivind; Bang-Kittilsen, Gry; Egeland, Jens; Falk, Ragnhild Sørum; Holmen, Tom Langerud; Mordal, Jon; Nielsen, Jimmi; Ueland, Thor; Vang, Torkel; Fredriksen, Mats (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 ...

    • The Alternative Complement Pathway Is Activated Without a Corresponding Terminal Pathway Activation in Patients With Heart Failure 

      Shahini, Negar; Bjørkelund, Elisabeth; Bendz, Christina; Massey, Richard J; Schjalm, Camilla; Halvorsen, Bente; Broch, Kaspar; Ueland, Thor; Gullestad, Lars; Nilsson, Per H.; Aukrust, Pål; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Louwe, Maria Cornelia; Holt, Margrethe Flesvig; Michelsen, Annika E. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-24)
      Objective: Dysregulation of the complement system has been described in patients with heart failure (HF). However, data on the alternative pathway are scarce and it is unknown if levels of factor B (FB) and the C3 convertase C3bBbP are elevated in these patients. We hypothesized that plasma levels of FB and C3bBbP would be associated with disease severity and survival in patients with ...
    • Always Ritual, Symbolic and Religious? An Essay on the Alta Rock Art and the Archaeological Quest for Meaning 

      Tansem, Karin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-21)
      Since its discovery in the 1970s, the rich rock art assemblage of Alta, Northern Norway, has been increasingly examined and interpreted. Central to the interpretations are topics such as ritual, circumpolar cosmology, landscapes and communication. The interpretative frame of reference has grown steadily, while discussions and disagreements have been surprisingly few. This paper argues that the outcome ...
    • The Ambivalence of Connexin43 Gap Peptides in Cardioprotection of the Isolated Heart against Ischemic Injury 

      Falck, Aleksander Tank; Lund, Bjarte Aarmo; Johansen, David; Lund, trine; Ytrehus, Kirsti (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-05)
      The present study investigates infarct-reducing effects of blocking ischemia-induced opening of connexin43 hemichannels using peptides Gap19, Gap26 or Gap27. Cardioprotection by ischemic preconditioning (IPC) and Gap peptides was compared, and combined treatment was tested in isolated, perfused male rat hearts using function and infarct size after global ischemia, high-resolution respirometry of ...
    • AMR-Diag: Neural network based genotype-to-phenotype prediction of resistance towards β-lactams in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae 

      Avershina, Ekaterina; Sharma, Priyanka; Taxt, Arne Michael; Singh, Harpreet; Frye, Stephan Alfons; Paul, Kolin; Kapil, Arti; Naseer, Mohammed Umaer; Kaur, Punit; Ahmad, Rafi (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-29)
      Antibiotic resistance poses a major threat to public health. More effective ways of the antibiotic prescription are needed to delay the spread of antibiotic resistance. Employment of sequencing technologies coupled with the use of trained neural network algorithms for genotype-to-phenotype prediction will reduce the time needed for antibiotic susceptibility profile identification from days to ...
    • Anaemia and its determinants among young children aged 6–23 months in Ethiopia (2005–2016) 

      Heinrichs, Helen; Endris, Bilal Shikur; Dejene, Tariku; Dinant, Geert-Jan; Spigt, Marcus (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-23)
      Anaemia in children remains a significant public health threat. Recent numbers from Ethiopia showed that more than two-thirds of children under the age of 2 years were anaemic. This study aimed to investigate the determinants of anaemia throughout Ethiopia over 11 years, making use of the Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS) rounds 2005, 2011 and 2016. The EDHS made it possible to use ...
