Based on previous clinic-based magnetic resonance imaging studies showing regional differences in the cerebral cortex between those with and without headache, we hypothesized that headache sufferers have a decrease in volume, thickness, or surface area in the anterior cingulate cortex, prefrontal cortex, and insula. In addition, exploratory analyses on volume, thickness, and surface area across the ...

This article provides an introduction to Nanosyntax – an approach to the syntax/lexicon interaction originating from work by Michal Starke. I present some of the motivation for allowing lexical items to replace whole phrases rather than only terminal elements, present the basic principles taken to govern the lexicalization procedure and show how syncretism patterns are handled in Nanosyntax.

This article reviews how sexuality is addressed in the curricula of Norwegian social work bachelor’s programs. The purpose of the review was to examine whether heteronormativity was problematized in social work curricula.

In this presentation, I present some key features of the Dataverse repository application, including how it is used in the Tromsø Repository of Language and Linguistics (TROLLing), a description of the Dataverse developer and user community, and what Dataverse can offer to the CLARIN community.

Real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) was performed to elucidate the abundance of <i>Aeromonas hydrophila</i> and <i>Pseudomonas fluorescens</i>, which are among the most widespread fish pathogens in ponds. Both pathogens have three different breeding patterns, namely, (a) gibel carp (<i>Carassius auratus gibelio</i>), (b) yellow catfish (<i>Pelteobagrus fulvidraco</i>), and (c) black carp (<i>Mylopharyngodon ...

The development of affinities between the production and consumption of people and place is crucial for tourism development. We trouble front and backstage distinctions to examine how destinations are framed and critically explore the power of the imaginary in shaping how individuals apprehend and in turn create social worlds. Combining critical discourse analysis with stakeholder interviews, we ...

<i>Background</i> - Physical inactivity is a key contributor to the global burden of disease and disproportionately impacts the wellbeing of people experiencing mental illness. Increases in physical activity are associated with improvements in symptoms of mental illness and reduction in cardiometabolic risk. Reliable and valid clinical tools that assess physical activity would improve evaluation ...

Liverpool Care Pathway is an integrated care pathway (ICP) designed to ensure the provision of high-quality end-of-life care. However, the ICP has come under substantial criticism, suggesting that its use is related to poor care. This study explores nurses’ use of the ICP to dying patients in Norwegian nursing homes. We conducted a qualitative study using an abductive, mystery-focused method to ...

This article highlights how deaf, hard-of-hearing and hearing people in Norway have an ability for visual languaging, building new relations, making new social order, handling the pressure of phonocentricity, establishing a peer group, and performing their visual identity in multiple ways. In a cross-field analysis of linguistics, medicine and anthropology, we explore how young people succeed in ...

The notion of world government is anathema to most political theorists. This is the case due to the arguments that a world government is infeasible, undesirable and unnecessary. This threefold argument is partly predicated on the assumption that in world politics the larger a geographical and political entity is, the greater the chance of it becoming unstable, ungovernable and, ultimately, illegitimate. ...
