Incidence angle dependency and seasonal evolution of L and C-band SAR backscatter over landfast sea ice
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-10-02)We estimate sea-ice type specific incidence angle (IA) dependencies for dual polarized (HH/HV) L and C-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) for the winter, melt onset and advanced melt seasons for level and deformed ice, using time-series of Advanced Land Observing Satellite-2 (ALOS-2) and Sentinel-1 imagery off the north-east coast of Greenland. The IA dependencies are used to radiometrically ... -
Relative fluid stretching and rotation for sparse trajectory observations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-10-03)As most mathematically justifiable Lagrangian coherent structure detection methods rely on spatial derivatives, their applicability to sparse trajectory data has been limited. For experimental fluid dynamicists and natural scientists working with Lagrangian trajectory data via passive tracers in unsteady flows (e.g. Lagrangian particle tracking or ocean buoys), obtaining material measures of ... -

Navigating oneself through the eyes of the other – meanings of encountering ambulance clinicians while being in a suicidal process
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-07-02)Purpose - The suicidal process contains both observable and non-observable phases, and patients have described the process as characterized by loneliness and darkness. Ambulance clinicians encounter patients in all phases of the suicidal process but little is known on what meaning this encounter has to the patients. The aim of this study was to elucidate meanings of encountering ambulance clinicians ... -
What the textbooks don’t teach about the reality of running a digitally enabled health study: an interpretative phenomenological interview study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-09-24)Background Most studies do not produce their intended outcomes on time or within budget. However, it is challenging to identify the facilitators and barriers to successful study management when the “behind the scenes action” of especially digitally enabled health research studies are akin to a black box. Therefore, it is necessary to explore first-hand experience of the facilitators and barriers ... -
Future sea ice weakening amplifies wind-driven trends in surface stress and Arctic Ocean spin-up
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-08-12)Arctic sea ice mediates atmosphere-ocean momentum transfer, which drives upper ocean circulation. How Arctic Ocean surface stress and velocity respond to sea ice decline and changing winds under global warming is unclear. Here we show that state-of-the-art climate models consistently predict an increase in future (2015–2100) ocean surface stress in response to increased surface wind speed, declining ... -
Associations between levels of physical activity and satisfaction with life among Norwegian adolescents: a cross-sectional study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-08-01)Background: A robust association between physical activity (PA) and satisfaction with life (SWL) has been established, wherein self-efficacy has been identified as a mediator across different populations. However, there is a need to further examine the relationship between PA and SWL and whether self-efficacy act a as mediator within different levels of PA among Norwegian adolescents. Thus, the ... -
Prompt closure versus gradual weaning of external ventricular drain for hydrocephalus following aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage: a statistical analysis plan for the DRAIN randomised clinical trial
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-07-15)Background - Insertion of an external ventricular drain (EVD) is a first-line treatment of acute hydrocephalus caused by aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH). Once the patient is clinically stable, the EVD is either removed or replaced by a permanent internal shunt. The optimal strategy for cessation of the EVD is unknown. Prompt closure carries a risk of acute hydrocephalus or redundant shunt ... -
How hard do avalanche practitioners tap during snow stability tests?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-08-16)This study examines the impact force applied from hand taps during extended column tests (ECTs), a common method of assessing snow stability. The hand-tap loading method has inherent subjectivity and inconsistencies across US, Canadian, Swiss, and Norwegian written standards. We developed a device, the “tap-o-meter”, to measure the force-time curves during these taps and collected data from 286 ... -

This was a qualitative focus group and individual interview study inspired by interpretive description, with 14 participants. The results indicate that Sámi healthcare staff experience various degrees of cultural load in their jobs. This was shown through the two themes: ... -
Large-Scale Item-Level Analysis of the Figural Matrices Test in the Norwegian Armed Forces: Examining Measurement Precision and Sex Bias
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-08-29)Figural matrices tests are common in intelligence research and have been used to draw conclusions regarding secular changes in intelligence. However, their measurement properties have seldom been evaluated with large samples that include both sexes. Using data from the Norwegian Armed Forces, we study the measurement properties of a test used for selection in military recruitment. Item-level data ... -
En kvinne i 30-årene med brystsmerter og sirkulatorisk sjokk etter fødsel
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-09-09)En andregangsfødende kvinne i 30-årene ble hemodynamisk ustabil og utviklet sterke brystsmerter etter fødselen. Årsaken til symptomene viste seg å være en alvorlig komplikasjon ved vaginal fødsel etter et tidligere keisersnitt, men omfanget ble ikke avklart før over en uke senere. -
Pangenomic landscapes shape performances of a synthetic genetic circuit across Stutzerimonas species
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-08-21)Engineering identical genetic circuits into different species typically results in large differences in performance due to the unique cellular environmental context of each host, a phenomenon known as the “chassis-effect” or "context-dependency". A better understanding of how genomic and physiological contexts underpin the chassis-effect will improve biodesign strategies across diverse microorganisms. ... -
Discussing the concept of substance-induced psychosis (SIP)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-09-10)Substance-induced psychosis (SIP) is characterized by both substance use and a psychotic state, and it is assumed that the first causes the latter. In ICD-10 the diagnosis is categorized as and grouped together with substance use disorders, and to a large extent also treated as such in the health care system. Though criticism of the diagnostic construct of SIP dates back several decades, numerous ... -
The effect of electro-magnetic-energy-regulation therapy on subjective sleep among elite players in Norwegian women's football
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-08-01)The current study investigated if Bio-Electro-Magnetic-Energy-Regulation (BEMER) therapy is affecting subjective sleep among a sample of 21 elite female football players in a Norwegian top series club. Subjective sleep was measured each day over a period of 273 consecutive days by using a smartphone application, PM Reporter Pro, which scheduled push messages to remind the participants to report ... -
Using nucleolytic toxins as restriction enzymes enables new RNA applications
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-09-13)Over the past five decades, DNA restriction enzymes have revolutionized biotechnology. While these enzymes are widely used in DNA research and DNA engineering, the emerging field of RNA and mRNA therapeutics requires sequence-specific RNA endoribonucleases. Here, we describe EcoToxN1, a member of the type III toxin-antitoxin family of sequence-specific RNA endoribonucleases, and its use in RNA and ...
