The impact of hospitalisation to geriatric wards on the use of medications and potentially inappropriate medications - A health register study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-01)<i>Background</i> - The use of potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) are associated with negative health effects for older adults. The purpose of this study was to apply national register data to investigate the impact of hospitalisation to geriatric wards in Norway on the use of medications and PIMs, and to compare two explicit PIM identification tools.<p><p> <i>Methods</i> - We included ... -
Ringed seal (Pusa hispida) diet on the west coast of Spitsbergen, Svalbard, Norway: during a time of ecosystem change
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-13)Global warming is causing Atlantification of water masses and concomitant changes in food webs in the Barents Sea region. To determine whether changes that have been documented at lower trophic levels are impacting the diet of ringed seals (<i>Pusa hispida</i>) gastrointestinal tracts (GITs) from 99 coastal-feeding ringed seals, collected in western Spitsbergen, Svalbard, were analysed via identification ... -
Riverine impacts on benthic biodiversity and functional traits: A comparison of two sub-Arctic fjords
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-19)Climate change is leading to increases in freshwater discharge to coastal environments with implications for benthic community structure and functioning. Freshwater inputs create strong environmental gradients, which potentially affect the community structure of benthic infauna. In turn, changes in functional trait composition have the potential to affect the processing of terrestrially-derived ... -
Reconstruction of an early Permian, sublacustrine magmatic-hydrothermal system: Mount Carlton epithermal Au-Ag-Cu deposit, northeastern Australia
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-01)The Mt. Carlton Au-Ag-Cu deposit, northern Bowen basin, northeastern Australia, is an uncommon example of a sublacustrine hydrothermal system containing economic high-sulfidation epithermal mineralization. The deposit formed in the early Permian and comprises vein- and hydrothermal breccia-hosted Au-Cu mineralization within a massive rhyodacite porphyry (V2 open pit) and stratabound Ag-barite ... -
Acoustic scattering layers reveal a faunal connection across the Fram Strait
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-15)Acoustic scattering layers (SL) at various depths are common phenomena in most oceans, but the organisms that make up these layers vary and so does their density, and hence the backscattered energy. During two crossings of the deep Fram Strait between the shelves at Svalbard and Northeast Greenland at latitudes 77°N and 79°N, we registered epipelagic and mesopelagic SL across the entire Fram Strait ... -

Atherogenic Lipid Ratios Related to Myeloperoxidase and C-Reactive Protein Levels in Psychotic Disorders
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-10)<p><i>Background:</i> Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of premature death in patients with psychotic disorders, where dyslipidemia occurs frequently. In the pathogenesis of these serious mental disorders, a low-grade inflammation seems to be a possible contributor. Concurrently, systemic inflammation and its interplay with dyslipidemia is a central driver in the pathogenesis of CVD. We ... -
Competitive exclusion after invasion?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2007-07-27)The ‘Competitive Exclusion Principle’ is a foundation stone in the understanding of interspecific competition and niche relationships between species. In spite of having the status of a biological law, the principle has limited empirical support. In this study, we document strong effects of competition from the invading fish species vendace <i>Coregonus albula</i> over a 14-year period in the ... -
Priority substances and emerging contaminants in selected Norwegian rivers – The River Monitoring Programme 2018
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2019)Riverine inputs and direct discharges to Norwegian coastal waters in 2018 have been estimated in accordance with the OSPAR Commission’s principles. This report focuses on EU Water Framework Directive priority substances as well as river basin-specific pollutants (trace metals and organic pollutants) that were monitored with bottle sampling in water and biota sampling (fish). Levels observed were ... -

A sociological perspective on evolution
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-22)I denne artikkelen vil eg argumentera for ein tovegskommunikasjon mellom sosiologien og eit naturalistisk perspektiv på evolusjonen. Det kan vera gode grunnar for at sosiologien treng ei naturalistisk vending (Aakvaag, 2010, 2014), men det er like viktig å peika på at den nye evolusjonsbiologien, nevrovitskapen og den kognitive vitskapen treng ei sosial vending. Dette betyr at sosiologien kan ... -
Reduced fitness of Daphnia magna fed a Bt-transgenic maize variety
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008-03-18)Genetically modified (GM) maize expressing the Bt-toxin Cry1Ab (Bt-maize) was tested for effects on survival, growth, and reproduction of the water flea <i>Daphnia magna</i>, a crustacean arthropod commonly used as a model organism in ecotoxicological studies. In three repeated experiments, <i>D. magna</i> were fed 100% ground maize in suspension, using either GM or isogenic unmodified (UM) maize. ... -
Sperm velocity in a promiscuous bird across experimental media of different viscosities
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-15)In species with internal fertilization, the female genital tract appears challenging to sperm, possibly resulting from selection on for example ovarian fluid to control sperm behaviour and, ultimately, fertilization. Few studies, however, have examined the effects of swimming media viscosities on sperm performance. We quantified effects of media viscosities on sperm velocity in promiscuous willow ... -
Ontogenetic niche shifts and resource partitioning in a subarctic piscivorous fish guild
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2003-05)The feeding ecology of three piscivorous fish species (perch (<i>Perca fluviatilis</i>), pike (<i>Esox lucius</i>) and burbot (<i>Lota lota</i>)), was studied in the subarctic Pasvik watercourse (69 ° N), northern Norway and Russia. All three species primarily occupied the benthic habitats in the watercourse. Perch and burbot exhibited distinct ontogenetic niche shifts in food resource use, perch ... -
