How well can near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) measure sediment organic matter in multiple lakes?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-19)Loss-on-ignition (LOI) is the most widely used measure of organic matter in lake sediments, a variable related to both climate and land-use change. The main drawback for conventional measurement methods is the processing time and hence high labor costs associated with high-resolution analyses. On the other hand, broad-based near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) is a time and cost efficient ... -
Electron Temperature Inversion by Stimulated Brillouin Scattering During Electron Gyroharmonic Heating at EISCAT
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-25)This work reports a holistic experimental investigation of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) features and electron temperature inversion near the third electron gyroharmonic 3<i>f</i><sub>ce</sub> using the European Incoherent Scatter (EISCAT) heating facility. The evolution of SBS features including spectral offset, width, and power varies asymmetrically near 3<i>f</i><sub>ce</sub>. The asymmetries ... -
An urban Blitz with a twist: rapid biodiversity assessment using aquatic environmental DNA
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-24)As global biodiversity declines, there is an increasing need to create an educated and engaged society. Having people of all ages participate in measuring biodiversity where they live helps to create awareness. Recently, the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) for biodiversity surveys has gained momentum. Here, we explore whether sampling eDNA and sequencing it can be used as a means of rapidly surveying ... -

Host–microbiome intestinal interactions during early life: considerations for atopy and asthma development
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04)<p>Purpose of review: The body's largest microbial community, the gut microbiome, is in contact with mucosal surfaces populated with epithelial, immune, endocrine and nerve cells, all of which sense and respond to microbial signals. These mutual interactions have led to a functional coevolution between the microbes and human physiology. Examples of coadaptation are anaerobes Bifidobacteria and ... -
Fatty acids and stable isotope signatures of first-year and multiyear sea ice in the Canadian High Arctic
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-21)Ice algae are critical components to the lipid-driven Arctic marine food web, particularly early in the spring. As little is known about these communities in multiyear ice (MYI), we aimed to provide a baseline of fatty acid (FA) and stable isotope signatures of sea-ice communities in MYI from the Lincoln Sea and compare these biomarkers to first-year ice (FYI). Significant differences in the relative ... -
“Symptoms associated with environmental factors” (SAEF) – Towards a paradigm shift regarding “idiopathic environmental intolerance” and related phenomena
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-02-05)Health conditions characterized by symptoms associated with chemical, physical and biological environmental factors unrelated to objectifiable pathophysiological mechanisms are often labelled by the general term “idiopathic environmental intolerances”. More specific, exposure-related terms are also used, e.g. “multiple chemical sensitivities”, “electromagnetic hypersensitivity” and “candidiasis ... -
Integrability properties of integral transforms via morrey spaces
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-13)We show that integrability properties of integral transforms with kernel depending on the product of arguments (which include in particular, popular Laplace, Hankel, Mittag-Leffler transforms and various others) are better described in terms of Morrey spaces than in terms of Lebesgue spaces. Mapping properties of integral transforms of such a type in Lebesgue spaces, including weight setting, are ... -
Novel Insights Into the Effects of Interleukin 6 Antagonism in Non-ST-Segment-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Employing the SOMAscan Proteomics Platform
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-09)<p>Background: Interleukin 6 concentration is associated with myocardial injury, heart failure, and mortality after myocardial infarction. In the Norwegian tocilizumab non-ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction trial, the first randomized trial of interleukin 6 blockade in myocardial infarction, concentration of both C-reactive protein and troponin T were reduced in the active treatment arm. In ... -
Inpatient multimodal occupational rehabilitation reduces sickness absence among individuals with musculoskeletal and common mental health disorders: a randomized clinical trial.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)Objectives - This study aimed to investigate whether inpatient multimodal occupational rehabilitation (I-MORE) reduces sickness absence (SA) more than outpatient acceptance and commitment therapy (O-ACT) among individuals with musculoskeletal and mental health disorders.<p> <p>Methods - Individuals on sick leave (2-12 months) due to musculoskeletal or common mental health disorders were randomized ... -
Trophic and fitness correlates of mercury and organochlorine compound residues in egg-laying Antarctic petrels
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-24)Understanding the drivers and effects of exposure to contaminants such as mercury (Hg) and organochlorine compounds (OCs) in Antarctic wildlife is still limited. Yet, Hg and OCs have known physiological and fitness effects in animals, with consequences on their populations. Here we measured total Hg (a proxy of methyl-Hg) in blood cells and feathers, and 12 OCs (seven polychlorinated biphenyls, PCBs, ... -

Hjertecyster hos atlantisk laks (Salmo salar)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09)Veterinærinstituttet mottok vinteren 2020 prøvemateriale fra et matfisk-anlegg for atlantisk laks i Nord-Norge. Anlegget hadde forøket dødelighet i en merd hvor mesteparten av dødfisken hadde sår. Ved obduksjon i felt var det hovedsakelig få funn i indre organer, med unntak av enkeltindivider med tegn til sirkulasjonssvikt. Det ble tatt ut standard organpakke, i tillegg til prøver av sår fra tre ... -
Effects of a deep-sea mining experiment on seafloor microbial communities and functions after 26 years
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-29)Future supplies of rare minerals for global industries with high-tech products may depend on deep-sea mining. However, environmental standards for seafloor integrity and recovery from environmental impacts are missing. We revisited the only midsize deep-sea disturbance and recolonization experiment carried out in 1989 in the Peru Basin nodule field to compare habitat integrity, remineralization ... -
