Optimising breast reconstruction. A clinical study on autologous breast reconstruction
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2022-06-03)Denne avhandlingen omhandler metoder for å optimalisere utfallet av brystrekonstruksjon ved bruk av kroppseget vev. Det første delarbeidet beskriver en kirurgisk teknikk som kombinerer to lapper fra henholdsvis buken (DIEP og TRAM lapper) og ytre deler av brystkassen (LICAP lapp) for å oppnå større volum og penere fasong på det rekonstruerte brystet hos kvinner med lite overskuddsvev på buken. LICAP ... -
The Effect of Own Body Concerns on Judgments of Other Women’s Body Size
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-06)We investigated the relationships between healthy women’s estimates of their own body size, their body dissatisfaction, and how they subjectively judge the transition from normal to overweight in other women’s bodies (the “normal/overweight” boundary). We propose two complementary hypotheses. In the first, participants compare other women to an internalized Western “thin ideal,” whose size reflects ... -
Innledning til Norsk Lingvistisk Tidsskrifts temahefte om grammatisk kjønn
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-12)Grammatisk kjønn utgjør derfor en formidabel utfordring for lingvistisk teori. Denne utfordringen tok forskningsprosjektet MultiGender: A Multilingual Approach to Grammatical Gender med til Senter for grunnforskning (CAS) i det akademiske året 2019–2020. Prosjektet, ledet av Terje Lohndal og Marit Westergaard, tok for seg grammatisk kjønn fra et flerspråklig og multimetodisk perspektiv, og alle ... -
First documentation of plastic ingestion in the arctic glaucous gull (Larus hyperboreus)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-20)Arctic wildlife is facing multiple stressors, including increasing plastic pollution. Seabirds are intrinsic to marine ecosystems, but most seabird populations are declining. We lack knowledge on plastic ingestion in many arctic seabird species, and there is an urgent need for more information to enable risk assessment and monitoring. Our study aimed to investigate the occurrence of plastics in ... -

The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to examine the effects of a 10-week instructor-led resistance training program on functional strength and body composition in men and women aged 70 years with presarcopenia. Design, Setting, and Participants: Participants were randomized to either 10 weeks of a ... -
Oceanic plastic pollution caused by Danish seine fishing in Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-06)Wear and tear on fishing gear is a sparsely investigated source of microplastic pollution in the sea. In Norway, Danish seine ropes and trawls are the fishing gears that contribute most to this pollution. The main reason for this pollution is that the seine ropes are dragged along the seabed over a considerable distance, creating a friction force that results in high ropes wear. This note reports ... -
Square mesh codend improves size selectivity and catch pattern for Trichiurus lepturus in bottom trawl used along Northwest coast of India
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-15)The size selectivity and catch pattern of Trichiurus lepturus in 40 mm diamond and square mesh codends were investigated in this study. A 34 m high opening trawl was used, which is a common design used by fishermen operating along the northwest coast of India, and the cover codend method was employed to determine codend selectivity. Along with the changes in the length at 50% retention rate for ... -
Disability pension dynamics in early adulthood: A two-decade longitudinal study of educational, work and welfare-state trajectories in Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-31)Background: Since the 1990’s, structural transformations in the Norwegian economy have decreased employment opportunities for low-skilled young people lacking formal education credentials. In parallel with these economic changes, there has been a strong increase in the proportion of young disability pensioners. Preventing labour market exit requires a thorough understanding of the disability ... -

Arctic marine fishes and their fisheries in light of global change
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013-09-17)In light of ocean warming and loss of Arctic sea ice, harvested marine fishes of boreal origin (and their fisheries) move poleward into yet unexploited parts of the Arctic seas. Industrial fisheries, already in place on many Arctic shelves, will radically affect the local fish species as they turn up as unprecedented bycatch. Arctic marine fishes are indispensable to ecosystem structuring and ... -
En splyv eller et splyv? Tilordning av grammatisk genus til nonord-substantiv i norsk
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-12)Tradisjonelt har det norske genussystemet blitt karakterisert som lite transparent. Et viktig spørsmål er om språkbrukere likevel kan være sensitive til visse egenskaper ved substantiver og bruker disse produktivt når de tildeler genus til ukjente ord. I denne artikkelen undersøker vi eksperimentelt språkbrukeres sensitivitet til fonologiske egenskaper som vi har identifisert gjennom korpusundersøkelser. ... -
Grammatisk hokjønn i trøndersk barnespråk: Ein korpusstudie
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-12)Det siste tiåret har det blitt forska mykje på grammatisk kjønn i Noreg, både på korleis barn lærer det og korleis det grammatiske kjønnssystemet er i endring. Basert på korpusdata ser Rodina & Westergaard (2013) på korleis unge barn i Tromsø lærer seg kjønnssystemet, det vil seie barn yngre enn tre år. Dei finn at barna ikkje har problem med bunden form, men at dei slit med kongruens på andre ... -
Ultrastructural evidence for the participation of muscle cells in the formation of extracellular matrices in aporocotylid blood flukes (Digenea)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-05)The muscle cells and extracellular matrices (ECMs) of two teleost-infecting blood flukes belonging to distinct evolutionary lineages of the Aporocotylidae (Digenea) were examined using Transmission Electron Microscopy. Four morphotypes of muscle cells were found in the freshwater species Sanguinicola sp., but were considered to be various developmental stages of a single cisternic type. In the marine ... -
A nested high-resolution unstructured grid 3-D ocean-sea ice-ice shelf setup for numerical investigations of the Petermann ice shelf and fjord
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-18)Three-dimensional numerical simulation of circulation in fjords hosting marine-terminating ice shelves is challenging because of the complexity of processes involved in such environments. This often requires a comprehensive model setup. The following elements are needed: bathymetry (usually unknown beneath the glacier tongue), ice shelf draft (impacting water column thickness), oceanographic state ... -
The relative spatial positions of tryptophan and cationic residues in helical membrane-active peptides determines their cytotoxicity
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011-11-04)Background: Tryptophan side chains can influence the binding of amphipathic peptides to biological membranes. <p>Results: The cytotoxic activity of model helical amphipathic peptides was markedly influenced by the positions of tryptophan residues in the sequence. <p>Conclusion: Tryptophan residues located adjacent to a hydrophobic helical portion created the most potent cytotoxic peptides. <p> ... -
Lactoferricin-inspired peptide AMC-109 augments the effect of ciprofloxacin against Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm in chronic murine wounds
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-23)Objectives: Chronic wounds are characterised by prolonged inflammation, low mitogenic activity, high protease/low inhibitor activity, microbiota changes and biofilm formation, combined with the aetiology of the original insult. One strategy to promote healing is to terminate the parasitism-like relationship between the biofilm-growing pathogen and host response. Antimicrobial peptide AMC-109 is a ... -
