Microplastic Fiber Emissions From Wastewater Effluents: Abundance, Transport Behavior and Exposure Risk for Biota in an Arctic Fjord
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-07)Microfibers (MF) are one of the major classes of microplastic found in the marine environment on a global scale. Very little is known about how they move and distribute from point sources such as wastewater effluents into the ocean. We chose Adventfjorden near the settlement of Longyearbyen on the Arctic Svalbard archipelago as a case study to investigate how microfibers emitted with untreated ... -
In vitro intestinal digestion of lipids from the marine diatom Porosira glacialis compared to commercial LC n-3 PUFA products
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-09)Marine sources of long chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC n-3 PUFA) are in high demand for use in health supplements. Mass cultivated marine microalgae is a promising and sustainable source of LC n-3 PUFA, which relieves pressure on natural fish stocks. The lipid class profile from cultivated photosynthetic algae differ from the marine organisms currently used for the production of LC n-3 ... -
Methanotrophs: Discoveries, Environmental Relevance, and a Perspective on Current and Future Applications
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-14)Methane is the final product of the anaerobic decomposition of organic matter. The conversion of organic matter to methane (methanogenesis) as a mechanism for energy conservation is exclusively attributed to the archaeal domain. Methane is oxidized by methanotrophic microorganisms using oxygen or alternative terminal electron acceptors. Aerobic methanotrophic bacteria belong to the phyla Proteobacteria ... -

The thermal maturity of sedimentary basins as revealed by magnetic mineralogy
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-02-08)The thermal evolution of sedimentary basins is usually constrained by maturity data, which is interpreted from Rock-Eval pyrolysis and vitrinite reflectance analytical results on field or boreholes samples. However, some thermal evolution models may be inaccurate due to the use of elevated maturities measured in samples collected within an undetected metamorphic contact aureole surrounding a magmatic ... -
Last Glacial Maximum environmental conditions at Andøya, northern Norway; evidence for a northern ice-edge ecological “hotspot”
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-05)Andøya on the NW coast of Norway is a key site for understanding the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) in northern Europe. Controversy has arisen concerning the local conditions, especially about the timing and extent of local glacial cover, maximum July temperatures and whether pine and/or spruce could have grown there. We reviewed all existing data and add newly analysed ancient sedimentary DNA ... -
Environmental governance theories: A review and application to coastal systems
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)This article synthesizes and compares environmental governance theories. For each theory we outline its main tenets, claims, origin, and supporting literature. We then group the theories into focused versus combinatory frameworks for comparison. The analysis resonates with many types of ecosystems; however, to make it more tangible, we focus on coastal systems. First, we characterize coastal governance ... -

Parasittær gjellebetennelse hos flekksteinbit (Anarhichas minor)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12)Veterinærinstituttet mottok i høst (september 2020) en sak med forøket dødelighet hos flekksteinbit. Det ble meldt mistanke om respirasjonsproblemer hos fisken. Fisken var klekket i 2016. Flekksteinbiten er en marin fisk som kan leve opptil 40 år, og blir kjønnsmoden først ved 7-10 års alderen. Arten trives på 25-550 meters dyp, og forekommer fra USA og Labrador til Grønland, Færøyene, Island, og ... -
Associations between lesion size, lesion location and aphasia in acute stroke
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-02-16)<i>Background</i>: The localization and organization of language has been an ongoing research interest ever since the early findings of Paul Broca. The emergence of neuroimaging the past 20 years has given us new insights on the anatomical and structural organization of the brain. Lesion studies on patients with aphasia can provide knowledge on where and how specific language functions are organized ... -
Soluble collectin-12 mediates C3-independent docking of properdin that activates the alternative pathway of complement
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-10)Properdin stabilizes the alternative C3 convertase (C3bBb), whereas its role as pattern-recognition molecule mediating complement activation is disputed for decades. Previously, we have found that soluble collectin-12 (sCL-12) synergizes complement alternative pathway (AP) activation. However, whether this observation is C3 dependent is unknown. By application of the C3-inhibitor Cp40, we found that ... -

Statements on race and class: the fairness of skills-based immigration criteria
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-01)It is often argued that states do not have any special obligations towards economic migrants, and that skills-based selection of migrants is morally unproblematic. In this paper, I argue that even if one does not endorse special obligations towards economic migrants, there are good reasons to be critical of skills-based selection due to its effect on the citizens in the country they are migrating ... -
A sub-centennial-scale optically stimulated luminescence chronostratigraphy and late Holocene flood history from a temperate river confluence
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-18)River confluences can be metastable and contain valuable geological records of catchment response to decadal- to millennial-scale environmental change. However, in alluvial reaches, flood stratigraphies are particularly hard to date using 14C. In this paper, we use a novel combination of optically stimulated luminescence and multiproxy sedimentological analyses to provide a flood record for the ... -
