Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is harvested using different design midwater trawls. Knowing the selective properties between trawls is crucial information for the management of the krill resources. This study compared the catch patterns between different commercial krill trawls at similar times and overlapping fishing grounds based on scientific data collected by scientific observers onboard ...

Background - Children and adolescents with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) may suffer from temporomandibular disorder (TMD). Due to this, imaging diagnosis is crucial in JIA with non-symptomatic TM joint (TMJ) involvement. The aim of the study was to examine the association between clinical TMD signs/symptoms and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) findings of TMJ structural deformities in ...

Metamorphic–deformation paths and interpretations of regional structures are essential for the understanding of how orogens evolve. While in active orogens, structures can be easily mapped for hundreds of kilometres, regional structures in ancient mountain belts may appear only as subsurface geophysical data. In this paper, we constrain the metamorphic–deformation history of the southeastern part ...

Arbeidsgruppen for felles publiseringstjeneste i UH-sektoren har utredet mulige alternativer til dagens institusjonsbaserte, desentraliserte publiseringsløsninger for vitenskapelige publikasjoner. Rapporten tar for seg utfordringer med dagens organisering, skisserer noen alternativer basert på lignende tjenester i landene rundt oss og diskuterer fordeler og ulemper ved forskjellige organiseringer ...

<i>Objective</i> - Preference-based instrumental variables (PP IV) designs can identify causal effects when patients receive treatment due to variation in providers’ treatment preference. We offer a systematic review and methodological assessment of PP IV applications in health research.<br><br> <i>Study Design and Setting</i> - We included studies that applied PP IV for evaluation of any treatment ...

In this article, three scholars jointly investigate questions of Western colonization and mental health. While their areas of interest and experience vary, the authors discuss oppression as a common thread connecting their ideas about mental health and its medicalization. In line with Toyosaki et al. (2009), the researchers did a community autoethnography, performing written dialogue as a dynamic ...

Ancient DNA and RNA are valuable data sources for a wide range of disciplines. Within the field of ancient metagenomics, the number of published genetic datasets has risen dramatically in recent years, and tracking this data for reuse is particularly important for large-scale ecological and evolutionary studies of individual taxa and communities of both microbes and eukaryotes. AncientMetagenomeDir ...

<i>Background and Methods</i> - Gastro- or duodenojejunostomy leaks after pancreatoduodenectomy is rare. This study aims to analyze the incidence, management, and outcome of gastro- or duodenojejunostomy leaks after pancreatoduodenectomy based on a single center experience from 2004 to 2020 with a narrative literature review.<br><br> <i>Results</i> - Of a total of 1494 pancreatoduodenectomies, ...

<i>Background</i>: Although Norwegian aquaculture has experienced tremendous development, environmental challenges limit opportunities for growth. To promote environmentally sustainable industry growth, a new spatial management regime was introduced: the Traffic Light System (TLS). However, with a focus on environmental sustainability and economic growth, the new regime largely ignores important ...

Residents’ overall well-being and quality-of-life require a deeper understanding of their perceived social impacts of tourism to determine appropriate management strategies to promote behaviours in support of tourism development. Aligning with the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, this paper proposes a new framework for residents’ quality-of-life. Bringing together multi-disciplinary evidence ...
