Spiritual Entrepreneurship in a Northern Landscape: Spirituality, Tourism and Politics
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013-01-07)A cultural turn in the economy has led to growth in what might be called ‘spiritual entrepreneurship’.1 This term refers to entrepreneurs inspired by a New Age philosophy marketing spiritual values such as ‘self-development’, ‘holism’ and ‘deep values’. To shed light on this type of enterprise, the article examines one of its practitioners; Esther Utsi at Polmakmoen Guesthouse in northern ... -
Increasing Multiyear Sea Ice Loss in the Beaufort Sea: A New Export Pathway for the Diminishing Multiyear Ice Cover of the Arctic Ocean
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-16)Historically, multiyear sea ice (MYI) covered a majority of the Arctic and circulated through the Beaufort Gyre for years. However, increased ice melt in the Beaufort Sea during the early 2000s was proposed to have severed this circulation. Constructing a regional MYI budget from 1997 to 2021 reveals that MYI import into the Beaufort Sea has increased year-round, yet less MYI now survives through ... -

Atmospheric Ice Accretion Measurement Techniques
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011-09-30)Atmospheric icing on structures has proven to be an area of concern in many cold climate geographical regions like arctic and alpine. Difficulties encountered by the communication, construction and power industries in these areas are the subject of intense investigations for researchers from decades. Three main methods of investigation are generally employed by researchers to study atmospheric ice ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013-02-08)I denne artikkel redegjør vi for et pilotprosjekt knyttet til nettstøttet videreutdanning innen helsefag ved Høgskolen i Finnmark, hvor ulike verktøy i høgskolens elektroniske læringsplattform ble prøvd ut med basis i kooperativ læringsfilosofi, samhandlingslæring. I helse- og sosialfaglig utdanning har det vært motstand mot å ta i bruk nettbaserte verktøy i undervisnings- og læringsprosessen. Det ... -
Tumour-suppressor microRNAs let-7 and mir-101 target the proto-oncogene MYCN and inhibit cell proliferation in MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011-06-07)BACKGROUND: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate expression of many cancer-related genes through posttranscriptional repression of their mRNAs. In this study we investigate the proto-oncogene MYCN as a target for miRNA regulation.<p> <p>METHODS: A luciferase reporter assay was used to investigate software-predicted miRNA target sites in the 30 -untranslated region (30 UTR) of MYCN. The miRNAs were ... -
Fleksibilisering og femininisering i høyere utdanning:eksemplet desentralisert lærerutdanning
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012-02-08)En forløper for dagens fleksible utdanninger ved høgskoler og universitet var de desentraliserte lærerutdanningene som ble igangsatt på 1970-tallet. Flesteparten av studentene den gang var kvinner som ikke hadde anledning til å flytte til et studiested for å ta utdanning. Et uttalt siktemål var å ta i bruk den utdanningsreserven som husmødre representerte. Tiltaket var inspirert av det britiske Open ... -
Effect of antiangiogenic therapy on tumor growth, vasculature and kinase activity in basal- and luminal-like breast cancer xenografts
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012-03-31)Several clinical trials have investigated the efficacy of bevacizumab in breast cancer, and even if growth inhibiting effects have been registered when antiangiogenic treatment is given in combination with chemotherapy no gain in overall survival has been observed. One reason for the lack of overall survival benefit might be that appropriate criteria for selection of patients likely to respond ... -
Ruteark eller regneark? Kognitive utfordringer ved å løse finansoppgaver på papir og PC
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012-02-08)Innebygde finansfunksjoner kan utføre avanserte beregninger i et regneark. Ved å kopiere formler i stedet for å lage dem manuelt, kan en løsning dessuten utvikles raskt. I artikkelen spør vi om det er mindre faglig krevende å løse oppgaver i et regneark enn på papir (ruteark). Vi forsøker å svare på spørsmålet ved å analysere en finansoppgave med Blooms reviderte taksonomi (BRT) for det kognitive ... -
Time series data for Canadian arctic vertebrates: IPY contributions to science, management, and policy
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012-05-22)Long-term data are critically important to science, management, and policy formation. Here we describe a number of data collections from arctic Canada that monitor vertebrate population trends of freshwater and marine fish, marine birds, marine and terrestrial mammals. These time series data cover the last ca. 30 years and capture a period from the onset of global changes affecting the Arctic up to ... -

METHODS: The expression of extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN) was characterised using immunohistochemistry in primary tumours from a cohort of 277 prospectively ... -
Accuracy of Molecular Simulation-Based Predictions of koff Values: A Metadynamics Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-16)The koff values of ligands unbinding to proteins are key parameters for drug discovery. Their predictions based on molecular simulation may under- or overestimate experiment in a system- and/or technique-dependent way. Here we use an established method infrequent metadynamics, based on the AMBER force field to compute the koff of the ligand iperoxo (in clinical use) targeting the muscarinic receptor ... -
