Introduction - The role of molecular classification in patients with low/intermediate risk endometrial cancer (EC) is uncertain. Higher precision in diagnostics will inform the unsettled debate on optimal adjuvant treatment. We aimed to determine the association of molecular profiling with patterns of relapse and survival.<p> <p>Material and methods - This retrospective cohort study included ...

Background: To evaluate repeatability and agreement in measurements of total corneal astigmatism (TCA) in keratoconic eyes, using four optical coherence tomography (OCT)-based devices: Anterion, Casia SS-1000, IOLMaster 700, and MS-39.<p> <p>Methods: Three consecutive measurements were taken with each device in 136 eyes. TCA values were converted into components J₀ and J₄₅. ...

Blue growth has been promoted as a strategy for generating jobs and welfare in Europe. Aquaculture and coastal tourism, which both fall under EU's blue growth strategy, have expanded in the last two decades raising environmental concerns and conflicts with traditional uses in coastal communities. In Norway, inter-municipal coastal zone planning aims to balance the different interests and concerns ...

In statistics, samples are drawn from a population in a data‐generating process (DGP). Standard errors measure the uncertainty in estimates of population parameters. In science, evidence is generated to test hypotheses in an evidence‐generating process (EGP). We claim that EGP variation across researchers adds uncertainty—nonstandard errors (NSEs). We study NSEs by letting 164 teams test the same ...

Arctic ecosystems are experiencing extreme climatic, biotic and physical disturbance events that can cause substantial loss of plant biomass and productivity, sometimes at scales of >1000 km2. Collectively known as browning events, these are key contributors to the spatial and temporal complexity of Arctic greening and vegetation dynamics. If we are to properly understand the future of Arctic ...

While belief has recently all but evaporated in the media and among North-European governments, in the Barents Euroarctic Region 1993-2022 cross-border program, modelled on EU neighborhood policies, faith was high for some decades in the institutional cross-border partnerships it facilitated, governed by top-down funding and political promotion. Among the components of this were cross-border interaction ...

Statistical learning, that is, our ability to track and learn from distributional information in the environment, plays a fundamental role in language acquisition, yet little research has investigated this process in older language learners. In the present study, we address this gap by comparing the cross-situational learning of foreign words in younger and older adults. We also tested whether learning ...

Open access is one of the most heated topics in the world of scholarly publishing. Humanities scholars sometimes critique electronic publishing – and Creative Commons licences in particular – as a threat to the publication format that they cherish the most, viz. the monograph. This article argues otherwise. Based on personal experience, its author argues that open sharing of monograph-size theses ...

This paper presents a novel protocol for reconstructing formation processes of archaeological depositional sequences, applied to Holocene-wide cave deposits located on a remote coastal island in Arctic Norway as a case study. Extensive GPR surveying is correlated with geochemical analysis and in situ environmental deposit monitoring for sedimentary fingerprinting and forecasting of future ...
