Antarctic Ice Sheet mass loss accounts for the largest uncertainties in global sea level projections. Antarctic meltwater and iceberg calving, together with changes in sea ice, also impact global ocean circulation, carbon uptake, and ecosystems. To understand, quantify and predict these changes and impacts, we employ climate and ice sheet models. Over the past 5+ years the Norwegian polar research ...

Background - Identifying barriers that can be modified to promote physical activity is important for informing health interventions for adults with intellectual disabilities.<p> <p>Objectives - Exploring participation in physical activity considering age, sex, living conditions, and health conditions. Further, identifying barriers significantly associated with sedentary activity after adjustment ...

Background - Open-door policy is a recommended framework to reduce coercion in psychiatric wards. However, existing observational data might not fully capture potential increases in harm and use of coercion associated with open-door policies. In this first randomised controlled trial, we compared coercive practices in open-door policy and treatment-as-usual wards in an urban hospital setting. We ...

Aims - The aims of this study were to assess quality of life after hip fractures, to characterize respondents to patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), and to describe the recovery trajectory of hip fracture patients.<p> <p>Methods - Data on 35,206 hip fractures (2014 to 2018; 67.2% female) in the Norwegian Hip Fracture Register were linked to data from the Norwegian Patient Registry and ...

The Sunnhordland area in SW Norway hosts more than 100 known mineral occurrences, mostly of volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) and orogeny Au types. The VMS mineralization is hosted by plutonic, volcanic and sedimentary lithologies of the Lower Ordovician ophiolitic complexes. This study presents new trace element and δ ³⁴S data from VMS deposits hosted by gabbro and basalt of the ...

Nowadays, most people have a smartphone that can track their everyday activities. Furthermore, a significant number of people wear advanced smartwatches to track several vital biomarkers in addition to activity data. However, it is still unclear how these data can actually be used to improve certain aspects of people’s lives. One of the key challenges is that the collected data is often massive ...

Denne studien presenterer resultatene av et prosjekt som ble utviklet i samarbeid med avdelingsledere innenfor hjemmetjenester og sykehjem. Studien viser at å benytte digital etisk refleksjon kan øke graden av refleksjon og fremme den etiske bevisstheten hos den enkelte pleier. Digital etisk refleksjon gjorde pleierne mer oppmerksom på behovet for å ha en arena å gjøre dypere etiske diskusjoner på. ...

When performing operation of the energy system in a building, it is difficult to accurately represent the uncertain long-term objectives in the short-term window, and the correlation between long-term objectives. This work investigates a strategic modelling framework for representing long-term incentives during short-term operational planning for an energy system within flexible buildings. Multi-stage ...

The multi-step retrosynthesis problem can be solved by a search algorithm, such as Monte Carlo tree search (MCTS). The performance of multistep retrosynthesis, as measured by a trade-off in search time and route solvability, therefore depends on the hyperparameters of the search algorithm. In this paper, we demonstrated the effect of three MCTS hyperparameters (number of iterations, tree depth, and ...
