Problematization of integration in Norwegian policymaking – integration through employment or volunteerism?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-04)Integration has become a buzzword in debates and discussions on immigration which also reflects upon Norwegian policymaking. In this article, we do a policy analysis of twenty-nine Norwegian governmental documents published between 1973 and 2021 and ask how the understanding of integration has changed during that time. We further ask how integration has been problematized in these documents. Our ... -
Associations of urinary orosomucoid, N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase, and albumin with blood pressure and hypertension during 7 years of follow-up. The Tromsø Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-03)Purpose: Subclinical chronic kidney disease is known to exacerbate hypertension and progression of kidney damage.

New codend designs to improve the size selectivity of fyke net for narrow-clawed crayfish (Pontastacus leptodactylus)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-23)The narrow-clawed crayfish (Pontastacus leptodactylus) is one of the most ecologically and economically important freshwater species in Turkey. However, the harvest of this species has declined from 7937 t in 1984 to 696 t in 2019. One of primary reasons for this decrease in stock is the use of fishing gears with poor size selectivity. In this study, new codend designs were investigated to improve ... -

The effect of grid size on catch efficiency and by-catch in the demersal trawl fishery for Norway pout (Trisopterus esmarkii)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-05)Norway pout (Trisopterus esmarkii) is caught with large trawls with small meshed codends, inevitably causing the fishery to have large by-catch issues. To reduce the amount of by-catch, a rigid sorting grid was made compulsory in 2010. However, there is still a severe by-catch issue, as well as the loss of target species because of the grid. A possible cause might be clogging of the grid, which could ... -
Parasite–copepod interactions in Svalbard: diversity, host specificity, and seasonal patterns
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-24)Copepods of the genera Calanus and Pseudocalanus are important components of Arctic marine ecosystems. Despite the key roles of these zooplankters, little is known about the organisms they interact with most intimately, their parasites and symbionts. We applied metabarcode sequencing to uncover eukaryotic parasites present within these two copepod genera from three areas around the high Arctic ... -
MY Teaching Philosophy
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022)From the beginning of my academic career, teaching has always been one of the important parts of my academic duties, and my teaching philosophies develop over time. I agree with Worley (2001) that there is a difference between effective and great teachers. He argues that while effective teachers are skilled, great teachers have a mission, a teaching impulse, and a vocation to teach. Being a great ... -
Kunders deling av digitale atferdsdata: Muligheter og begrensninger gjennom blokkjedeteknologien
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021)Ny teknologi kan potensielt endre maktforholdet for datadeling mellom bedrifter og kunder. Frem til nå har store, internasjonale konsern som Facebook, Amazon og Google gjennom sin teknologi utnyttet kundenes digitale adferdsdata uten at brukerne er bevisste på dette. Vi er nå inne i et skifte hvor ny teknologi gjør det mulig å endre dette maktforholdet. Et eksempel er utviklingen av blokkjedeteknologiens ... -
Short measures of youth psychopathology: psychometric properties of the brief problem monitor (BPM) and the behavior and feelings survey (BFS) in a Norwegian clinical sample
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-24)Background: Tracking clinical outcomes during therapy can be useful for improving both clinical practice and research. For repeated data collection, short, reliable, and valid measures of central aspects of psychopathology are necessary. The current paper investigates the psychometric properties of two short surveys for measuring central dimensions of psychopathology in youth.<p> <p>Methods: We ... -
Educational attainment and mortality in schizophrenia
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-13)Background: Individuals suffering from schizophrenia have a reduced life expectancy with cardiovascular disease (CVD) as a major contributor. Low educational attainment is associated with schizophrenia, as well as with all-cause and CVD mortality. However, it is unknown to what extent low educational attainment can explain the increased mortality in individuals with schizophrenia. Aim: Here, we ... -
Raised Serum Markers of T Cell Activation and Exhaustion in Granulomatous-Lymphocytic Interstitial Lung Disease in Common Variable Immunodeficiency
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-05)Purpose About 20–30% of patients with common variable immunodefciency (CVID) develop granulomatous-lymphocytic interstitial lung disease (GLILD) as one of several non-infectious complications to their immunodefciency. The purpose of this study was to identify biomarkers that could distinguish GLILD from other non-infectious complications in CVID.<p> <p>Methods We analyzed serum biomarkers related ... -
Effect of innovative vs. usual care physical therapy in subacute rehabilitation after stroke. A multicenter randomized controlled trial
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-19)Background: Research on stroke rehabilitation often addresses common difficulties such as gait, balance or physical activity separately, a fragmentation contrasting the complexity in clinical practice. Interventions aiming for recovery are needed. The purpose of this study was to investigate effects of a comprehensive low-cost physical therapy intervention, ICoreDIST, vs. usual care on postural ... -
Ice conditions in northern Norwegian fjords: Observations and measurements from three winter seasons, 2017–2020
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-31)Freshwater provided by rivers beginning deep within the mountains, feeds into fjords along the coast of Norway, often forming a brackish surface layer that will change in its salinity, thickness, and extent throughout the year. As temperature drops below freezing, ice can form from this layer along the entire coastline from 71◦ N down to 58◦ N. The influence of freshwater combined with changing ... -

Recognising Psychoactive Drug Users
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-19)There has been growing discussion in Denmark regarding the decriminalisation of psychoactive drug use. In this context, we propose Axel Honneth’s theory of recognition as a useful approach to both understand the causes of dependency on psychoactive drugs and to provide an ethical lens through which to discuss whether drug use should be decriminalised or not. We propose that psychoactive drugs ... -
