    • The 9+ screening test score does not predict injuries in elite floorball players 

      Tervo, Taru; Ermling, Jenny; Nordström, Anna Hava; Toss, Fredrik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-05)
      We aimed to examine whether the 9+ screening test score could predict injuries in elite floorball players. Eighty‐four elite floorball players participated in the study. At baseline, two physiotherapists assessed the participants using the 9+ screening test. The test score reflects strength, stability, mobility, and functional movement pattern with an emphasis on the lower body and core. Injuries ...
    • Recommendations for initial examination, differential diagnosis, and management of concussion and other head injuries in high-level football 

      Feddermann-Demont, Nina; Chiampas, Georges; Cowie, Charlotte; Meyer, T.; Nordström, Anna Hava; Putukian, Margot; Straumann, Dominik; Kramer, Efraim (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-17)
      Head injuries can result in substantially different outcomes, ranging from no detectable effect to transient functional impairments to life‐threatening structural lesions. In high‐level international football (soccer) tournaments, on average, one head injury occurs in every third match. Making the diagnosis and determining the severity of a head injury immediately on‐pitch or off‐field is a major ...
    • Afro-alpine flagships revisited: Parallel adaptation, intermountain admixture and shallow genetic structuring in the giant senecios (Dendrosenecio) 

      Tusiime, Felly Mugizi; Gizaw, Abel; Gussarova, Galina; Nemomissa, Sileshi; Popp, Magnus; Masao, Catherine Aloyce; Wondimu, Tigist; Abdi, Ahmed Abdikhadir; Mirre, Virginia; Muwanika, Vincent; Eilu, Gerald; Brochmann, Christian; Kiflemichael, Tigist Wondimu (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-18)
      Distantly related lineages of the enigmatic giant rosette plants of tropical alpine environments provide classical examples of convergent adaptation. For the giant senecios (Dendrosenecio), the endemic landmarks of the East African sky islands, it has also been suggested that parallel adaptation has been important for within-lineage differentiation. To test this hypothesis and to address potential ...
    • Variations in the Circle of Willis in a large population sample using 3D TOF angiography: The Tromsø Study 

      Hindenes, Lars Bakke; Håberg, Asta; Johnsen, Liv-Hege; Mathiesen, Ellisiv B.; David, Robben; Vangberg, Torgil Riise (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-03)
      The main arteries that supply blood to the brain originate from the Circle of Willis (CoW). The CoW exhibits considerable anatomical variations which may have clinical importance, but the variability is insufficiently characterised in the general population. We assessed the anatomical variability of CoW variants in a community-dwelling sample (N = 1,864, 874 men, mean age = 65.4, range 40–87 years), ...
    • Why metacognition Is not always helpful 

      Norman, Elisabeth (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-02)
      In many situations, actively engaging in metacognition may improve cognitive achievement and subjective well-being. However, the potential disadvantages of metacognitive engagement are only rarely communicated in metacognition research. In this paper, I outline three ways in which metacognition may reduce cognitive achievement and psychological well-being. First, metacognition may sometimes actively ...

      This article aims to answer two questions. The first is: What is a Sámi art museum? The second question considers whether there is no Sámi art museum, as assumed by the Nordnorsk kunstmuseum (NNKM) as the title of a museum performance and exhibition in 2017.<p> <p>To answer the first question, it is necessary to tell the long story of the Sámi cultural-historical museum in Karasjok, Samiid ...
    • How young people who had dropped out of high school experienced their re-enrolment processes 

      Ramsdal, Gro Hilde; Wynn, Rolf (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-20)
      The study followed the re-enrolment processes of six young people in Northern Norway who had dropped out of high school. Early in the re-enrolment process, the participants focused on their experiences with lack of inner motivation, lack of endurance, and confusion concerning what they wanted to do with their lives. Later in the process, participants described positive changes in their inner motivation ...

For å kunne utdype argumentasjon om minner som del av et landskap, vil jeg sette Gullestads ...
    • Lung CD4+ T cells in patients with lung fibrosis produce pro-fibrotic IL-13 together with IFNγ 

      Sikkeland, Liv Ingunn Bjoner; Qiao, Shuo Wang; Ueland, Thor; Myrdal, Ole Henrik; Wyrozemski, Lukasz Adam; Aukrust, Pål; Jahnsen, Frode Lars; Sjåheim, Tone Bjørg; Kongerud, Johny; Molberg, Øyvind; Lund, May Brit; Bækkevold, Espen Sønderaal (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-05)
      Progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (PF-ILD) have poor prognosis and survival, and their pathogenesis is not well understood[1]. Mechanistically, lung fibrosis is thought to result from distorted wound-healing following tissue insults and inflammation, leading to scar formation by excess deposition of extracellular matrix proteins and destruction of lung architecture[2]. The fibrotic ...
