Strategies for grouping per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) to protect human and environmental health
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-04)Grouping strategies are needed for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), in part, because it would be time and resource intensive to test and evaluate the more than 4700 PFAS on the global market on a chemical-by-chemical basis. In this paper we review various grouping strategies that could be used to inform actions on these chemicals and outline the motivations, advantages and disadvantages ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-16)<p><i>Background - </i>Falls are the leading cause of injury-related morbidity and mortality worldwide, but fall injury circumstances differ by age. We studied the circumstances of accidental fall injuries by age in Shenkursk District, Northwest Russia, using the data from the population-based Shenkursk Injury Registry. <p><i>Methods -</i>Data on accidental fall injuries (hereafter: fall injuries) ... -
Can mesopelagic mixed layers be used as feed sources for salmon aquaculture?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-25)Salmon aquaculture is in great need of good quality balanced protein and lipid sources, particularly marine omega-3 (n-3) long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA), to sustain a further development of the industry. One possibility is to harvest mesopelagic marine layers. Therefore, the current project analysed mesopelagic hauls from three cruises (November 2015 to October 2016) collected from ... -
Increased complement factor B and Bb levels are associated with mortality in patients with severe aortic stenosis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-24)Inflammation is involved in initiation and progression of aortic stenosis (AS). However, the role of the complement system, a crucial component of innate immunity in AS, is unclear. We hypothesized that circulating levels of complement factor B (FB), an important component of the alternative pathway, are upregulated and could predict outcome in patients with severe symptomatic AS. Therefore, plasma ... -
Current challenges in translational and clinical fMRI and future directions
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-08)Translational neuroscience is an important field that brings together clinical praxis with neuroscience methods. In this review article, the focus will be on functional neuroimaging (fMRI) and its applicability in clinical fMRI studies. In the light of the “replication crisis,” three aspects will be critically discussed: First, the fMRI signal itself, second, current fMRI praxis, and, third, the ... -
Possible influence of variations in the geomagnetic field on migration paths of snow buntings
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-24)A hypothesis is proposed wherein changes in the Earth’s magnetic field affect the migratory paths of snow buntings (Plectrophenax nivalis), and in particular from wintering grounds in the Russian/Ukrainian steppes to breeding grounds on Svalbard and with a typical stopover in Finnmark in northern Norway. If one were to assume ignorance of the secular movement of the magnetic north pole approximately ... -
Energy efficiency of respiration in mature and newborn reindeer
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-25)Reindeer (<i>Rangifer tarandus</i>) have evolved elaborate nasal turbinate structures that are perfused via a complex vascular network. These are subject to thermoregulatory control, shifting between heat conservation and dissipation, according to the animal’s needs. The three-dimensional design of the turbinate structures is essential in the sense that they determine the efficiency with which heat ... -
Modern Analogue Approach Applied to High-Resolution Varved Sediments - A Synthesis for Lake Montcortès (Central Pyrenees)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-02)In Quaternary paleosciences, the rationale behind analogical inference presupposes that former processes can be explained by causes operating now, although their intensity and rates can vary through time. In this paper we synthesised the results of different modern analogue studies performed in a varved lake. We discuss their potential value to obtain best results from high resolution past records. ... -

Early fulminant BK polyomavirus-associated nephropathy in two kidney transplant patients with low neutralizing antibody titers receiving allografts from the same donor
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed; Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2020-01-10)<i>Background</i> - BK Polyomavirus (BKPyV) causes premature graft failure in 1 to 15% of kidney transplant (KT) recipients. High-level BKPyV-viruria and BKPyV-DNAemia precede polyomavirus-associated nephropathy (PyVAN), and guide clinical management decisions. In most cases, BKPyV appears to come from the donor kidney, but data from biopsy-proven PyVAN cases are lacking. Here, we report the early ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-31)The Tromsø Recommendations for Citation of Research Data in Linguistics were published in 2019, with a twofold objective: To provide a guide on how to cite research data in linguistics according to good practices, and to contribute to making linguistics a more transparent science. This paper presents the rationale behind the recommendations as well as the development process. The goal is to demonstrate ... -
Analysis of a Tubular Torsionally Resonating Viscosity–Density Sensor
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-27)This paper discusses a state-of-the-art inline tubular sensor that can measure the viscosity–density (ρη) of a passing fluid. In this study, experiments and numerical modelling were performed to develop a deeper understanding of the tubular sensor. Experimental results were compared with an analytical model of the torsional resonator. Good agreement was found at low viscosities, although the numerical ... -
