Network Science in Biblical Studies: Introduction
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07)The notion of a network is ingrained in contemporary culture. In everyday English parlance, we casually talk about television networks, computer networks, professional networks, telephone networks, and so on. Even though the word has a technological flavor, the idea of a network is purely mathematical at its core. A network (or graph in mathematical language) is an abstract model that consists ... -
Learn, Teach, Heal: Articulations of Indigeneity and Spirituality in Indigenous Tourism in British Columbia, Canada
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2023-01-13)‘Learn, Teach, Heal’ encapsulates what seems to be occurring in Indigenous Tourism on Vancouver Island and the Haida Gwaii in British Columbia, Canada. Operating as a ‘Tourist-researcher’ in 2017 and 2018, I was there at a time when Indigenous Tourism was booming, partly facilitated by the political movement of Truth & Reconciliation. Tourism is often seen as a shallow, commercial and artificial ... -
Sámi Political Shifts. From Assimilation via Invisibility to Indigenization?
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022)Sami Parliaments were established in 1989 in Norway, in 1994 in Sweden and in 1997 in Finland. Representative Sami institutions are regarded as a condition for Sami self-determination. State formation in the Scandinavian context has been enacted through several historical dynamics. First, nation-building relied on the assimilation or segregation of other cultural groups, through coercive measures ... -

A computational study of cyclic peptides with vibrational circular dichroism
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2022-12-16)<p>Cyclic peptides are a class of molecules that has shown antimicrobial potential. These are complex compounds to investigate with their large conformational space and multiple chiral centers. A technique that can be used to investigate both conformational preferences and absolute configuration (AC) is vibrational circular dichroism (VCD). To extract information from the experimental VCD spectra a ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-25)Background: Research on perceived school safety has been largely limited to studies conducted in Western countries and there has been a lack of large-scale cross-national studies on the topic.<p> <p>Methods: The present study examined the occurrence of adolescents who felt unsafe at school and the associated factors of perceived school safety in 13 Asian and European countries. The data were based ... -
Protein preference and elevated plasma FGF21 induced by dietary protein restriction is similar in both male and female mice
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-19)Animals that are moderately protein restricted respond to this dietary stress by increasing consumption of protein-containing foods. This is true in many species, including rodents. Rodent models of protein restriction have typically relied on only male subjects, and there are plausible reasons why female rodents may respond differently to dietary protein restriction. To address this gap in ... -
Basic psychological needs in the classroom: A literature review in elementary and middle school students
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-27)Self-Determination Theory conceptualizes basic psychological needs (BPN) for autonomy, competence and relatedness as essentials for the learner to experience, maintain, and promote well-being, personal growth, and learning. However, the evidence of its influence in the classroom is still limited, especially in basic education (ages six to 14). The aim of the present study was to perform a systematic ... -
Word reading in monolingual and bilingual children with developmental language disorder
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-11)Many children with developmental language disorder (DLD) are reported to have word reading difficulties. However, previous research has focused mostly on monolingual children. The present study used two existing datasets to assess word reading outcomes of bilingual children with DLD. In Study 1, we compared word reading outcomes of monolingual and bilingual children with and without DLD (n = 93 ... -
Gjenoppbygginga og omfordelinga av inntekter etter den store sildekollapsen
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-27)Denne historiske analysen viser at den store sildekollapsen som fant sted på 1960-tallet, representerte et grunnleggende sjokk i norske fiskerier. Myndighetenes umiddelbare respons på krisa var å tillate fiske av småsild og enda mer subsidier for å berge fiskernes inntekter. Men dette var helt mislykka. Etter hvert førte rystelsene til at forvaltningspraksisen med fritt fiske ble terminert. Samtidig ... -

Inequalities in the making: The role of young people’s relational resources through the Covid-19 lockdown
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-15)Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, youth researchers have reported increased inequalities between young people, but the social processes that drive these changes are not well understood. In this paper, we draw on rich longitudinal interview data following the same participants from a year before and into the midst of national lockdown during the pandemic in Norway to explore the unfolding ... -

Første trimester-screening for utvikling av preeklampsi med bruk av algoritme: en fullstendig metodevurdering
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2022-04)Dagens praksis tilsier at man i hovedsak skal vurdere risiko for preeklampsi (svangerskapsforgiftning) hos gravide ved hjelp av medisinsk og obstetrisk sykehistorie. Denne metodevurderingen sammenligner prediktiv nøyaktighet av nåværende praksis med screening i svangerskapsuke 11-14 med en algoritme basert på mors kjennetegn, blodtrykk, ultralyd-undersøkelse som inkluderer blodgjennomstrømning i ... -

(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2022-12-19)<p>The focus of this thesis is on the economic performance and technical efficiency of a Vietnamese fishing fleet by the use of data envelopment analysis (DEA). The double bootstrap method has been used to overcome some of the limitations of DEA. In addition, the dissertation evaluates fishers’ perceptions of negative events affecting the fishing activities. <p>The first of three papers presents ... -
Oscillatory brain responses to processing code-switches in the presence of others
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-07)Code-switching, i.e. the alternation between languages in a conversation, is a typical, yet socially-constrained practice in bilingual communities. For instance, code-switching is permissible only when other conversation partners are fluent in both languages. Studying code-switching provides insight in the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying language control, and their modulation by ... -
Prevalence of late and long-term effects of cancer (treatment) and use of complementary and alternative medicine in Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-05)Background The increasing number of patients surviving cancer leads to more people experiencing late and long term-effects from the disease and its treatment. Fatigue, sleep disorders, early menopause, pain, and nerve damage are commonly reported. Methods helping people to recover after cancer treatment are therefore essential. The aims of this study were threefold; (1) to determine the level of ... -

Deep learning-based image analysis reveals significant differences in the number and distribution of mucosal CD3 and γδ T cells between Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-23)Colon mucosae of ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) display differences in the number and distribution of immune cells that are difficult to assess by eye. Deep learning-based analysis on whole slide images (WSIs) allows extraction of complex quantitative data that can be used to uncover different inflammatory patterns. We aimed to explore the distribution of CD3 and γδ T cells in colon ...
