Do we choose differently after a discussion? Results from a deliberative valuation study in Ireland
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021)A criticism against individual-based stated preference surveys is that people seldom make choices in social isolation. An approach used in response to this is deliberative valuation. We conduct a series of valuation workshops including a choice experiment. This involves providing respondents with information and opportunity to discuss. They made their choices individually both before and after the ... -

Pulling mechanisms and pushing strategies: How to improve Ecosystem Advice Fisheries Management advice within the European Union’s Common Fisheries Policy
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-17)While European policies have progressed towards an Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM), limited attention has been paid to the implications for its advisory system. This paper analyses the advisory landscape in the European Union (EU) by addressing two questions: to what extent can the needed advice be provided? how prepared is the management system to integrate ecosystem advice? We ... -

The testing results show that perceived desirability and perceived feasibility have direct and interactive effects on entrepreneur intention. Risk as both threat ... -
How consumer innovativeness, technological expertise, and consideration set size can explain mobile commerce use: An extended understanding using a moderation–mediation model.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-12)This study integrates consumer innovativeness (CI) and technological expertise (TE) in consumer attitudes and mobile commerce use (MCU) and introduces consumer consideration set size (CSS) as a moderator and a mediator of these relationships. Based on a survey sample of 577 Vietnamese consumers, it uses a structural equation modelling approach to test the hypotheses. The findings show that attitudes, ... -
The Role of Depth Perception in XR from a Neuroscience Perspective: A Primer and Survey
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2021-09-21)Augmented and virtual reality (XR) are potentially powerful tools for enhancing the efficiency of interactive visualization of complex data in biology and medicine. The benefits of visualization of digital objects in XR mainly arise from enhanced depth perception due to the stereoscopic nature of XR head mounted devices. With the added depth dimension, XR is in a prime position to convey complex ... -
Elevated plasma D-dimer levels are associated with risk of future incident venous thromboembolism
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-25)<p><i>Background</i> D-dimer, a global biomarker for activation of the coagulation and fibrinolysis systems, is useful in assessing individual risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) recurrence. However, there is limited information on the association between D-dimer and risk of a first lifetime VTE event. <p><i>Objectives</i> To investigate the association between plasma D-dimer levels and risk of ... -

HTAD: A Home-Tasks Activities Dataset with Wrist-Accelerometer and Audio Features
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-21)In this paper, we present HTAD: A Home Tasks Activities Dataset. The dataset contains wrist-accelerometer and audio data from people performing at-home tasks such as sweeping, brushing teeth, washing hands, or watching TV. These activities represent a subset of activities that are needed to be able to live independently. Being able to detect activities with wearable devices in real-time is important ... -

Participants were 513 pancreatic cancer cases and 1020 matched ... -
Arctic sea ice algae differ markedly from phytoplankton in their ecophysiological characteristics
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-20)Photophysiological and biochemical characteristics were investigated in natural communities of Arctic sea ice algae and phytoplankton to understand their respective responses towards variable irradiance and nutrient regimes. This study revealed large differences in photosynthetic efficiency and capacity between the 2 types of algal assemblages. Sea ice algal assemblages clearly displayed increased ... -
Krashen’s claims through a usage-based lens
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-01)In the following, I will briefly outline how Krashen's Input Hypothesis, Acquisition/Learning distinction, and the Natural Order Hypothesis hold up when seen through the lens of usage‐ based approaches. A number of frameworks fall under the umbrella label of usage‐based approaches, including cognitive‐functional linguistics (Evans et al., 2007), usage‐based construction grammar (Goldberg, 2006, ... -
Safety in numbers: how social choice theory can inform avalanche risk management
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-21)Avalanche studies have undergone a transition in recent years. Early research focused mainly on environmental factors. More recently, attention has turned to human factors in decision making, such as behavioural and cognitive biases. This article adds a social component to this human turn in avalanche studies. It identifies lessons for decision making by groups of skiers from the perspective of ... -

Operationalisation of ecosystem services in support of ecosystem-based marine spatial planning: insights into needs and recommendations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-17)Marine or maritime spatial planning (MSP) works across borders and sectors to ensure human activities at sea take place in an efficient and sustainable way. The ecosystem service (ES) concept links ecosystem functioning to human wellbeing and has emerged as a potential framework supporting MSP, as it can be used to link different sectorial and environmental policies. However, due to the complexity ... -
Phenological and elevational shifts of plants, animals and fungi under climate change in the European Alps
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-27)Mountain areas are biodiversity hotspots and provide a multitude of ecosystem services of irreplaceable socio-economic value. In the European Alps, air temperature has increased at a rate of about 0.36°C decade<sup>−1</sup> since 1970, leading to glacier retreat and significant snowpack reduction. Due to these rapid environmental changes, this mountainous region is undergoing marked changes in spring ... -
