Associations of neighbourhood attributes with depression in mid-age and older adults: the moderating role of traffic-related air pollution and neighbourhood socioeconomic status
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-05-24)We aimed to examine whether features of the natural, built and socioeconomic neighbourhood environments were related to depressive symptoms in Australian mid-age and older adults; and whether traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) (NO2) and area-level SES moderated the associations. A total of 4141 of participants (M<sub>age</sub> = 61 years) were included in this cross-sectional study. Neighbourhood ... -

Effect of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring on Adherence and Blood Pressure: A Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-07)BACKGROUND - Drug concentration in blood or urine is an acknowledged method to detect nonadherence. Observational studies suggest that informing patients about low or absent serum drug levels improves blood pressure (BP). We performed a multicenter randomized clinical trial to test the hypothesis that therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) could improve drug adherence and BP in patients with uncontrolled ... -
Photosynthetic light requirement near the theoretical minimum detected in Arctic microalgae
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-09-04)Photosynthesis is one of the most important biological processes on Earth, providing the main source of bioavailable energy, carbon, and oxygen via the use of sunlight. Despite this importance, the minimum light level sustaining photosynthesis and net growth of primary producers in the global ocean is still unknown. Here, we present measurements from the MOSAiC field campaign in the central Arctic ... -

Prematurity is an acute event and the leading cause of death among newborns and children under five. Sixty percent of these premature deaths occur in Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia.<p> <p>Objective: The current study aimed to explore and understand ... -
The Association between Urinary Sodium-Potassium Ratio, Kidney Function, and Blood Pressure in a Cohort from the General Population
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-21)Introduction: Subclinical kidney dysfunction may contribute to salt-sensitive hypertension. We assessed the association between the urinary sodium-potassium ratio (Na/K ratio) and blood pressure (BP) in a general population cohort without diabetes, chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, or treated hypertension. We investigated whether any such association was mediated by the kidney function ... -
Study Circles as a Possible Arena to Support Self-Care—A Swedish Pilot Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-15)Today, issues related to people’s mental health and well-being have been described as a challenge for society, globally as well as in Sweden. This calls for new approaches to mental health promotion. The aim was to evaluate the adequacy of its content and structure, describing experiences of study circles as a means of supporting participants’ self-care and self-compassion. The overall design is a ... -
Seasonal exploitation of intertidal resources at El Mazo (N Iberia) reveals optimized human subsistence strategies during the Mesolithic in Atlantic Europe
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-18)Over the last few decades, research has significantly enhanced our understanding of the role played by shellfish in human subsistence during the Mesolithic period along the Atlantic coast of Europe. Instrumental to this advance has been the analysis of stable oxygen isotope measurements (δ<sup>18</sup>O) from mollusc shells, which offers valuable insights into the seasonality of shellfish exploitation. ... -
The associations of grief-related rumination with prolonged grief and posttraumatic stress symptoms: A longitudinal study of bereaved after the 2011 terror attack in Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-11)After the sudden and violent death of a loved one, many bereaved experience symptoms of prolonged grief (PG) and posttraumatic stress (PTS). The present study investigated the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations of grief-related rumination with PG and PTS symptoms among bereaved parents and siblings after the Utøya terror attack in Norway on 22 July 2011 (N = 110, M<sub>age</sub> = 43.2 years, ... -
Phenotype–Genotype Correlation Applying a Cocktail Approach and an Exome Chip Analysis Reveals Further Variants Contributing to Variation of Drug Metabolism
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-18)Although great progress has been made in the fine-tuning of diplotypes, there is still a need to further improve the predictability of individual phenotypes of pharmacogenetically relevant enzymes. The aim of this study was to analyze the additional contribution of sex and variants identified by exome chip analysis to the metabolic ratio of five probe drugs. A cocktail study applying dextromethorphan, ... -
To mine or not to mine the deep seabed?: The relative influence of competing NGO views in defining “serious harm” to the marine environment
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-24)Several studies have noted that the International Seabed Authority (ISA) scores low on public participation. However, none have studied the efforts of non-governmental organizations to exert influence on the ISA’s rulemaking processes. I examine how environmental NGOs and private mining contractors attempt to sway one narrow, but existential, part of the ISA’s draft exploitation regulations between ... -
Martingale Hardy Spaces and Some New Weighted Maximal Operators of Fejér Means of Walsh–Fourier Series
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-19)In this paper, we introduce some new weighted maximal operators of the Fejér means of the Walsh–Fourier series. We prove that for some “optimal” weights, these new operators indeed are bounded from the martingale Hardy space H<sub>p</sub>(G)to the Lebesgue space L<sub>p</sub>(G), for 0 < p < 1/2. Moreover, we also prove sharpness of this result. As a consequence, we obtain some new and well-known ... -

Methods We performed a nationwide retrospective case–control study of invasive GBS infections ... -
Hydration of p- aminobenzoic acid: structures and non-covalent bondings of aminobenzoic acid-water clusters
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-12)Context Micro-hydration of the aminobenzoic acid is essential to understand its interaction with surrounding water molecules. Understanding the micro-hydration of the aminobenzoic acid is also essential to study its remediation from wastewater. Therefore, we explored the potential energy surfaces (PESs) of the para-aminobenzoic acid-water clusters, ABW<sub>n</sub>, n = 1 − 10, to study the ... -
Digital nomadism, gender and racial power relations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-23)This study examines the interplay of race and gender in shaping the journeys of Asian female digital nomads who navigate the realms of travel and work simultaneously, through the lens of postcolonial feminism. Through our qualitative exploration, we contend that prevailing discourses constrain understandings of Asian women's lived experiences. While our respondents' narratives align with existing ... -

This review identifies interrelated challenges ... -
Predicting psychological need satisfaction and frustration from early maladaptive schemas and DSM-5 and ICD-11 personality traits
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-08)The satisfaction of basic psychological needs is closely connected with an individual’s well-being and mental health. The purpose of the present study was to examine the associations of persistent and pervasive negative cognitions about oneself and others (early maladaptive schemas) and pathological personality traits (DSM-5 and ICD-11 personality traits) with the satisfaction and frustration of ... -
Addressing epistemic injustices in species at risk assessments through improved credibility and legitimacy: case study of narwhal management in Ittoqqortoormiit
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-06-13)The regulation of seal and whale hunting in Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland) belongs to the Naalakkersuisut (National Government), which is notably informed by the work of the Scientific Committee (SC) of the North Atlantic Marine Mammal Commission (NAMMCO). Since 2004, quotas were set in Kalaallit Nunaat to regulate hunting practices and promote ecologically sustainable harvesting. In South East ...
