(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-10)Background Residents in care homes have been severely impacted by COVID-19. We describe trends in the mortality risk among residents of care homes compared to private homes. Methods On behalf of NHS England we used OpenSAFELY-TPP to calculate monthly age-standardised risks of death due to all causes and COVID-19 among adults aged >=65 years between 1/2/2019 and 31/03/2021. Care home residents ... -
Ecosystem‑based governance according to the Malawi principles: a test for the southern Lake Malawi
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-29)This paper examines what may happen when the internationally renowned Malawi principles for ecosystem-based fsheries management are implemented in real-life situations. To explore this, an ecosystem-based fsheries management plan for the southern part of the Lake Malawi is used as a case study. However, the lessons learned are relevant for the global implementation of these principles. Drawing on ... -
Application of the C3 inhibitor compstatin in a human whole blood model designed for complement research – 20 years of experience and future perspectives
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-13)The complex molecular and cellular biological systems that maintain host homeostasis undergo continuous crosstalk. Complement, a component of innate immunity, is one such system. Initially regarded as a system to protect the host from infection, complement has more recently been shown to have numerous other functions, including involvement in embryonic development, tissue modeling, and repair. ... -
Insights into the genetic diversity, antibiotic resistance and pathogenic potential of Klebsiella pneumoniae from the Norwegian marine environment using whole-genome analysis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-07)Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) can cause hospital- and community acquired infections. Although, Kp is widespread in the environment, very little is known about the genetic diversity and pathogenicity of Kp from the marine environment. The aim of our study was to understand the genetic diversity, resistome and pathogenic potential of 87 Kp isolates from the Norwegian marine environment, using whole-genome ... -

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations shed light on the transmission of charges ... -
Suppression of ionospheric irregularity due to auroral particle impact
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-16)The VISIONS-2 35.039 sounding rocket was launched from Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard, on 7 December 2018 at 11:06 UT, and traveled overhead of the cusp aurora. The payload reached an apogee of 806.6 km and provided measurements of the electric field (E) and electron density (N<sub>e</sub> ) with a high sampling rate of 6,250 Hz. The high-sampling-data make it possible to estimate the horizontal structure ... -
Exogenous putrescine attenuates the negative impact of drought stress by modulating physio-biochemical traits and gene expression in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-07)Drought tolerance is a complex trait controlled by many metabolic pathways and genes and identifying a solution to increase the resilience of plants to drought stress is one of the grand challenges in plant biology. This study provided compelling evidence of increased drought stress tolerance in two sugar beet genotypes when treated with exogenous putrescine (Put) at the seedling stage. Morpho-physiological ... -
Continental weathering and recovery from ocean nutrient stress during the Early Triassic Biotic Crisis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-15)Following the latest Permian extinction ∼252 million years ago, normal marine and terrestrial ecosystems did not recover for another 5-9 million years. The driver(s) for the Early Triassic biotic crisis, marked by high atmospheric CO2 concentration, extreme ocean warming, and marine anoxia, remains unclear. Here we constrain the timing of authigenic K-bearing mineral formation extracted from ... -
Interleukin-18 signaling system links to agitation in severe mental disorders
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-12)Objective: Agitation is a challenging clinical feature in severe mental disorders, but its biological correlates are largely unknown. Inflammasome-related abnormalities have been linked to severe mental disorders and implicated in animal models of agitation. We investigated if levels of circulating inflammasome-related immune markers were associated with agitation in severe mental disorders.<p> ... -
Determinants of inefficiency in shrimp aquaculture under environmental impacts: Comparing shrimp production systems in the Mekong, Vietnam
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-26)Shrimp aquaculture systems vary from primitive (extensive/ improved extensive) to more industrialized (intensive/semiintensive) farms, and the impacts of environmental shocks may differ between them. This article applies the Cobb– Douglas stochastic production frontier function to evaluate the determinants that impact the inefficiency of these intensive and extensive systems in Vietnam. Data ... -
Sorterius - An augmented reality app for encouraging outdoor physical activity for people with intellectual disabilities
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022-08-22)Many with intellectual disabilities (ID) have difficulties adhering to current physical activity guidelines. The goal of this study was to develop a mobile app for assisting people with ID to be more physically active. We implemented a solution that combines the digital and real world using augmented reality (AR). Eight people working with people with ID (special education teachers, social workers, ... -
Changing States, Changing Sámi? Framing the state and the Sámi in studies of history in Finland and Norway, 1923–1954
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022-06-06)This chapter discusses the ways in which the Sámi and their host states were framed during the final phase of Lappological research (1923–1954). Was the state still the only source of legitimate historical knowledge in studies of the history of the Sámi during this period? Did the subject positions of the Sámi change? Selected works by Väinö Tanner, O. A. Johnsen, Gutorm Gjessing and Helmer ... -

Distribution in the unit tangent bundle of the geodesics of given type
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-24)Recall that two geodesics in a negatively curved surface S are of the same type if their free homotopy classes differ by a homeomorphism of the surface. In this note we study the distribution in the unit tangent bundle of the geodesics of fixed type, proving that they are asymptotically equidistributed with respect to a certain measure mS on T 1S. We study a few properties of this measure, showing ... -

Room-Temperature-Stable Magnesium Electride via Ni(II) Reduction
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-13)Herein, we report the synthesis of highly reduced bipyridyl magnesium complexes and the first example of a stable organic magnesium electride supported by quantum mechanical computations and X-ray diffraction. These complexes serve as unconventional homogeneous reductants due to their high solubility, modular redox potentials, and formation of insoluble, noncoordinating byproducts. The applicability ... -
