Fisheries have important impacts on marine biodiversity. In this work, combined information on the abundance, species richness, diversity indices, species composition, trophic level and vulnerability index were examined for the first-time to detect differences in five units related to trawl fishing: the fish assemblage entering the trawl codend, and the escaping, retained, discarded and landed ...

It is now established that auroral emissions as measured from the ground are polarised. The question of the information given by this polarisation is still to be explored. This article shows the results of a coordinated campaign between an optical polarimeter and several ground-based instruments, including magnetometers, the EISCAT VHF radar, and complementary luminance meters in the visible ...

We propose a novel and adaptive feature space distillation method (AFSD) to reduce the communication overhead among distributed computers. The proposed method improves the Codistillation process by supporting longer update interval rates. AFSD performs knowledge distillates across the models infrequently and provides flexibility to the models in terms of exploring diverse variations in the training ...

Introduction - To study the relationship between education level and vascular complications in individuals with type 2 diabetes in Norway.<p> <p>Research design and methods - Multiregional population-based cross-sectional study of individuals with type 2 diabetes in primary care. Data were extracted from electronic medical records in the period 2012–2014. Information on education level was obtained ...

In this paper we discuss and prove an analogy of the Carleson–Hunt theorem with respect to Vilenkin systems. In particular, we use the theory of martingales and give a new and shorter proof of the almost everywhere convergence of Vilenkin–Fourier series of f ∈ L _p(G_m)for p > 1 in case the Vilenkin system is bounded. Moreover, we also prove sharpness by stating an analogy of the ...

This article addresses cultural and other forms of appropriation related to tourism in the Sámi areas of Norway (Sápmi). Tourists are chasing and consuming otherness – places, culture and nature different from their home environments. Thus, exposures of arts, culture, nature and places are vital parts of tourism production. Within this context, indigenous cultures are praised. When the use of land ...

Introduction: Physical inactivity is the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality, and inactive adults have a higher risk to develop lifestyle diseases. To date, there is preliminary evidence of the efficacy of fitness technologies and other digital interventions for physical activity (PA) promotion. Intervention studies are needed to test the effectiveness and implementation of innovative ...

Excess mortality has been used to measure the impact of COVID-19 over time and across countries. But what baseline should be chosen? We propose two novel approaches: an alternative retrospective baseline derived from the lowest weekly death rates achieved in previous years and a within-year baseline based on the average of the 13 lowest weekly death rates within the same year. These baselines express ...

Disentangling the phylogenetic relationships of taxonomically complex plant groups is often mired by challenges associated with recent speciation, hybridization, complex mating systems, and polyploidy. Here, we perform a phylogenomic analysis of eyebrights (Euphrasia), a group renowned for taxonomic complexity, with the aim of documenting the extent of phylogenetic discordance at both deep and at ...
