In preparation for a legal implementation of EU-regulation 1829/2003, the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food Safety (VKM) has been requested by the Norwegian Directorate for Nature Management to conduct final environmental risk assessments for all genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and products containing or consisting of GMOs that are authorized in the European Union under Directive 2001/18/EC ...

Summary - The purpose of this paper is to describe rates of forearm fractures in adults in Norway 2008–2019. Incidence rate of distal forearm fractures declined over time in both sexes. Forearm fracture constitute a significant health burden and prevention strategies are needed.<p> <p>Purpose - To assess age- and sex-specific incidence rates, and time trends for forearm fractures in Norway, and ...

<p><i>Summary - </i>This study estimated the incidence of osteonecrosis in a Swedish, nationwide cohort of older adults. Osteonecrosis was approximately 10 times more common than in previous studies. The strongest risk factors were dialysis, hip fracture, osteomyelitis, and organ transplantation, but only hip fractures could have contributed substantially to the disease burden. <p><i>Introduction ...

PURPOSE:To assess repeatability and agreement of corneal epithelial thickness mapping in eyes with keratoconus using three optical coherence tomography (OCT) devices featuring different technologies: spectral-domain (SD) OCT combined with Placido disk corneal topography (MS-39), swept-source OCT (Anterion), and SD-OCT (Avanti).<p> <p>METHODS:Three consecutive measurements were acquired with the ...

Let be a compact, connected, oriented surface, possibly with boundary, of negative Euler characteristic. In this article we extend Lindenstrauss–Mirzakhani’s and Hamenstädt’s classification of locally finite mapping class group invariant ergodic measures on the space of measured laminations to the space of geodesic currents , and we discuss the homogeneous case. Moreover, we extend Lindenstrauss ...

A growing trend of interest for the cultivation of kelp is driven by predictions for high global demands of important commodities, which require the development of alternative supplies of natural resources. In this study the dynamics of loss of biomass from cultivated Saccharina latissima were studied from February to August 2018 at two kelp farms in Northern (69°45.26′N/019°02.18′E) and in Mid-Norway ...

Size selection in creel fishery consists of two processes: the first taking place in the creel on the seabed and the second made by the fisher on the vessel. However, no study has ever considered both processes when assessing the size selection in creel fisheries. This study presents a framework for including both and demonstrates it to predict the effect of mesh size and shape on the creel fishery ...
