Maintaining intravenous volume mitigates hypothermia-induced myocardial dysfunction and accumulation of intracellular Ca2+
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-17)Previous research exploring pathophysiological mechanisms underlying circulatory collapse after rewarming victims of severe accidental hypothermia has documented post-hypothermic cardiac dysfunction and hypothermia-induced elevation of intracellular Ca<sup>2+</sup> concentration ([Ca<sup>2+</sup>]<sub>i</sub>) in myocardial cells. The aim of the present study was to examine if maintaining euvolaemia ... -
Cut-off values of serum potassium and core temperature at hospital admission for extracorporeal rewarming of avalanche victims in cardiac arrest: A retrospective multi-centre study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-06)Aim: Evidence of existing guidelines for the on-site triage of avalanche victims is limited and adherence suboptimal. This study attempted to find reliable cut-off values for the identification of hypothermic avalanche victims with reversible out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) at hospital admission.

“Walking Together Towards Freedom.” Patients’ Lived Experiences of Participation in Outpatient Forensic Care
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-11)There is a general agreement regarding the significance of patient participation in care.

The influence of night length: Activity of the northern bat Eptesicus nilssonii under conditions of continuous light in midnight sun compared to a southern population
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-13)Background - Nearly all insectivorous bats (Chiroptera) are strictly nocturnal, flying and feeding only between sunset and sunrise despite lower insect availability than by day, most likely to avoid predation by diurnal birds. This may represent a great challenge to bats living north of the Arctic Circle, which are exposed to bright nights in the period of the midnight sun. The northern bat Eptesicus ... -

Physiopunk Vol. 1 Speculative fiction for future physiotherapies
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021)In light of today’s deeply connected social and environmental crises, environmental and sustainability education is increasingly being integrated into public health and healthcare professional education around the world (Barna, Maric, Simons, Kumar & Blankestijn, 2020). The Norwegian ‘regulations on national guidelines for physiotherapist education’ clearly support the integration of these topics ... -
Physiopunk Vol 1 Spekulativ fiksjon for fremtidige fysioterapier
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021)Dagens sosiale og miljømessige kriser er dypt forbundet med hverandre. Miljø- og bærekraftsutdanning blir derfor stadig mer integrert i internasjonale folkehelse- og helsepersonellutdanninger (Barna, Maric, Simons, Kumar & Blankestijn, 2020). Den norske «Forskrift om nasjonal retningslinje for fysioterapeututdanning» støtter integrering av disse temaene og sier at fysioterapeuter «skal […] bidra på ... -
Influence of Internalised Homonegativity on Sexual Risk Behaviour of Men Who Have Sex with Men in Spain
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-27)In a sample of men who have sex with men (MSM) (N = 3436) in Spain who bear intrinsic HIV risk, we investigated how internalised homonegativity (IH) is associated with the number of non-steady male partners with condomless intercourse (as a proxy of sexual risk behaviour). Using structural equation modelling (SEM), we examined the relationship between IH and sexual risk behaviour, and mediating ... -

Prefabrikkert eller plassbygd? Sammenligning av byggemetode for leilighetskomplekser av tre
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-05-18)I den norske byggebransjen i dag er det lite samsvar mellom tilbud og etterspørsel av boliger, og det er dermed behov for økt effektivisering av byggebransjen. Prefabrikasjon som byggemetode har potensiale til å bidra til å øke effektiviteten i bygg- og anleggsnæringen, sett opp mot tradisjonell plassbygd metode. Denne artikkelen har dermed gjennomført en sammenligning av de positive og negative ... -
The basic liberties: An essay on analytical specification
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-10)We characterize, more precisely than before, what Rawls calls the ‘analytical’ method of drawing up a list of basic liberties. This method employs one or more general conditions that, under <i>any</i> just social order whatever, putative entitlements must meet for them to be among the basic liberties encompassed, within <i>some</i> just social order, by Rawls’s first principle of justice (i.e. the ... -

(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-12-16)Avhandlingen søker å belyse det dobbeltsporede systemets virkning på stillingsvernssaker. Tariffavtalen var ment å regulere arbeidslivet. Stillingsvernsreglene har vært sentral historisk for arbeidstakers vern. I dag er reglene om stillingsvern fortrinnsvis regulert i lovs form. Samtidig ser man en tendens til at de samme lovreglene inkorporeres i tariffavtaler. Dette har ført til at det samme ...
