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 ...
User preferences for a physical activity chatbot connected to an activity tracker and integrated into a social media platform
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-22)
Performing regular physical activity can be challenging. Integrating chatbots with social media platforms and physical activity sensors can potentially increase physical activity. The objective of this study was to identify design preferences for integrating an activity tracker supported chatbot in a social media platform. Norwegian adults (n=120) responded to an ad-hoc online survey. User preferences ...
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. ...
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 ...
Mortality among Care Home Residents in England during the first and second waves of the COVID-19 pandemic: an observational study of 4.3 million adults over the age of 65
(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 ...
Quality of Life instruments and their psychometric properties for use in parents during pregnancy and the postpartum period: a systematic scoping review
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-09)
Purpose: To identify instruments used to measure parents’ Quality of Life (QoL) during pregnancy and the postpartum period, and to describe their characteristics and psychometric properties.<p>
<p>Methods: For this scoping review we conducted systematic literature searches in MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsychINFO,
CINAHL and HaPI in mid-December 2020, to identify studies evaluating psychometric properties. ...
Identification and molecular characterization of Brucella abortus and Brucella melitensis isolated from milk in cattle in Azerbaijan
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-15)
Background - Azerbaijan currently ranks thirteenth in global incidence of human brucellosis, with an estimated annual incidence through 2000 at over 50 cases per million. Brucella melitensis has been isolated from patients and is thought to have been acquired through contact with small ruminants or as a foodborne infection. To reduce the burden of human brucellosis, the Azerbaijani government began ...
Joint effect of particulate matter and cigarette smoke on women’s sex hormones
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-08)
Background - Although relationships between exposure to air pollution and reproductive health are broadly studied, mechanisms behind these phenomena are still unknown. The aim of the study was to assess whether exposure to particulate matter (PM10) and tobacco smoking have an impact on menstrual profiles of 17β-estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P) and the E2/P ratio.<p>
<p>Methods - Levels of sex ...
Kinetic Study of the Oxidative Addition Reaction between Methyl Iodide and [Rh(imino-β-diketonato)(CO)(PPh)3] Complexes, Utilizing UV–Vis, IR Spectrophotometry, NMR Spectroscopy and DFT Calculations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-16)
The oxidative addition of methyl iodide to [Rh(β-diketonato)(CO)(PPh)<sub>3</sub>
] complexes, as
modal catalysts of the first step during the Monsanto process, are well-studied. The β-diketonato
ligand is a bidentate (BID) ligand that bonds, through two O donor atoms (O,O-BID ligand), to
rhodium. Imino-β-diketones are similar to β-diketones, though the donor atoms are N and O,
referred to as ...
Artificial Intelligence for Colonoscopy: Past, Present, and Future
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-22)
During the past decades, many automated image
analysis methods have been developed for colonoscopy. Realtime implementation of the most promising methods during
colonoscopy has been tested in clinical trials, including several
recent multi-center studies. All trials have shown results that
may contribute to prevention of colorectal cancer. We summarize
the past and present development of ...
