The Effect of Own Body Concerns on Judgments of Other Women’s Body Size
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-06)We investigated the relationships between healthy women’s estimates of their own body size, their body dissatisfaction, and how they subjectively judge the transition from normal to overweight in other women’s bodies (the “normal/overweight” boundary). We propose two complementary hypotheses. In the first, participants compare other women to an internalized Western “thin ideal,” whose size reflects ... -

"Nobody is dead until warm and dead": Prolonged resuscitation is warranted in arrested hypothermic victims also in remote areas - A retrospective study from northern Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-06-01)Hypothermic cardiac arrest has high mortality and few known prognostic factors. We studied retrospectively 34 victims of accidental hypothermia with cardiac arrest admitted to The University Hospital of North Norway during 1985–2013 who were resuscitated and rewarmed by extracorporeal circulation. No patient survived prior to 1999, while nine out of 24 (37.5%) survived hypothermic cardiac arrest ... -
Effect of Computational Method on Accumulated O2 Deficit
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-07)The aim of this study was to examine how relationships between exercise intensity and the rate of energy release established in different ways, affect the calculated O<sub>2</sub> deficit accumulated during strenuous exercise. Aerobic energy release is readily measured by the O<sub>2</sub> uptake, while anaerobic energy release is by definition independent of O<sub>2</sub>. The latter is not ... -
Quorum Sensing Controls the CRISPR and Type VI Secretion Systems in Aliivibrio wodanis 06/09/139
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-22)For bacteria to thrive in an environment with competitors, phages and environmental cues, they use different strategies, including Type VI Secretion Systems (T6SSs) and Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) to compete for space. Bacteria often use quorum sensing (QS), to coordinate their behavior as the cell density increases. Like other aliivibrios, Aliivibrio wodanis ... -

The importance of turbulent ocean–sea ice nutrient exchanges for simulation of ice algal biomass and production with CICE6.1 and Icepack 1.2
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-31)Different sea ice models apply unique approaches in the computation of nutrient diffusion between the ocean and the ice bottom, which are generally decoupled from the calculation of turbulent heat flux. A simple molecular diffusion formulation is often used. We argue that nutrient transfer from the ocean to sea ice should be as consistent as possible with heat transfer, since all of these fluxes ... -

Stable isotope evidence for late Medieval (14th-15th C) origins of the eastern Baltic cod (Gadus morhua) fishery
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011-11-16)Although recent historical ecology studies have extended quantitative knowledge of eastern Baltic cod (Gadus morhua) exploitation back as far as the 16th century, the historical origin of the modern fishery remains obscure. Widespread archaeological evidence for cod consumption around the eastern Baltic littoral emerges around the 13th century, three centuries before systematic documentation, but ... -
At the source of the polarisation of auroral emissions: experiments and modeling
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-01)A polarised radiative transfer model (POMEROL) has been developed to compute the polarisation measured by a virtual instrument in a given nocturnal environment. This single-scattering model recreates real-world conditions (among them atmospheric and aerosol profiles, light sources with complex geometries at the ground and in the sky, terrain obstructions). It has been successfully tested at mid-latitudes ...
