Finding the needle in the haystack: Comparison of methods for salmon louse enumeration in plankton samples
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-07)The economic and social implications of salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) epidemics in salmon aquaculture drive focus of the dispersal dynamics of the planktonic larval stages. The vast spatial scale and high connectivity of the marine environment creates difficult conditions to monitor the infective planktonic louse stage, whereby the number of samples required for a representative description ... -

The effect of temperature and digested sewage sludge cover over tailings on the leaching of contaminants from Ballangen tailings deposit
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-28)Dry covers can be applied above tailings to reduce and prevent formation of acid mine drainage and leaching of contaminants. Efficiency of covers is affected by different parameters, of which temperature change under climate change context is one. Here, a laboratory column leaching experiment was performed under four temperatures, 5, 10, 14, and 18 °C on unoxidized tailings from Ballangen, Norway. ... -
Nature of the copper-nitrosyl intermediates of copper nitrite reductases during catalysis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-20)The design and synthesis of copper complexes that can reduce nitrite to NO has attracted considerable interest. They have been guided by the structural information on the catalytic Cu centre of the widespread enzymes Cu nitrite reductases but the chemically novel side-on binding of NO observed in all crystallographic studies of these enzymes has been questioned in terms of its functional relevance. ... -

IRON-MAN: An Approach to Perform Temporal Motionless Analysis of Video Using CNN in MPSoC
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-20)This paper proposes a novel human-inspired methodology called IRON-MAN (Integrated RatiONal prediction and Motionless ANalysis) for mobile multi-processor systems-on-chips (MPSoCs). The methodology integrates analysis of the previous image frames of the video to represent the analysis of the current frame in order to perform Temporal Motionless Analysis of the Video (TMAV). This is the first work ... -
The primary care perspective on the Norwegian national strategy against antimicrobial resistance
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-19)A national strategy to combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been subject to cyclic processes in Norway since 1998. In 2020, a renewed process cycle was launched. Here, we describe the process and the approach of the process. In addition, we describe two concepts from philosophy of science that may help to frame the process: AMR is an example of a super wicked problem, and post-normal science ... -
The weight and representation of Ryukyuan Miyako onsets: Initial geminate moraicity, markedness, and sonority
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-09-15)This thesis examines descriptive data on the Southern Ryukyuan Miyako languages and argues for a moraic account of the initial geminates found therein. All varieties of Miyako discussed require underived words to feature at least two morae, and the initial geminates in each variety appear to satisfy the bimoraic word minimality requirement. Segmental restrictions on the coerced (derived) moraicity ... -
Implications of legal pluralism for socio-technical transition studies–scrutinizing the ascendancy of the ring seine fishery in India
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-27)This paper considers the contribution of legal pluralism scholarship to the field of socio-technical transition studies. Making use of a case study on the changeover to ring seine fishing in India, it pays particular attention to the implications of legal pluralism – or the co-existence of multiple legal systems in a societal field – for the stability of such transitions. Ring seine fishing ... -
En protestantisk statsdannelse i Bøhmen 1618
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-08-16)I denne oppgaven tar jeg for meg striden mellom det mektige Habsburg-dynastiet og den protestantiske adelen i Bøhmen på 1600-tallet. Habsburg-dynastiet representerte et middelalderideal om et katolsk felles kristent storrike, mens bøhmenopprøret representerte en ny statstype i form av flerstyre og var dermed i motsetning til Habsburg-dynastiet. Da keiser Ferdinand den 2. gjeninntok Bøhmen startet ... -
Overexploitation, Recovery, and Warming of the Barents Sea Ecosystem During 1950–2013
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-17)The Barents Sea (BS) is a high-latitude shelf ecosystem with important fisheries, high and historically variable harvesting pressure, and ongoing high variability in climatic conditions. To quantify carbon flow pathways and assess if changes in harvesting intensity and climate variability have affected the BS ecosystem, we modeled the ecosystem for the period 1950–2013 using a highly trophically ... -
Catch Pattern for Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) of Different Commercial Trawls in Similar Times and Overlapping Fishing Grounds
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-28)Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is harvested using different design midwater trawls. Knowing the selective properties between trawls is crucial information for the management of the krill resources. This study compared the catch patterns between different commercial krill trawls at similar times and overlapping fishing grounds based on scientific data collected by scientific observers onboard ... -
The paradox of forbs in grasslands and the legacy of the mammoth steppe
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-07)The grassland biome supports an enormous diversity of life and includes ecosystems used extensively by humans. Although graminoids lend grasslands their characteristic appearance, forbs are largely responsible for their taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional diversity. In terms of abundance, however, forbs often play a subordinate role relative to graminoids. Yet this may be a relatively recent ... -
The allosteric modulation of complement c5 by knob domain peptides
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-11)Bovines have evolved a subset of antibodies with ultra-long heavy chain complementarity determining regions that harbour cysteine-rich knob domains. To produce high-affinity peptides, we previously isolated autonomous 3–6 kDa knob domains from bovine antibodies. Here, we show that binding of four knob domain peptides elicits a range of effects on the clinically validated drug target complement C5. ... -
Training and influence of maximal strength in football players - With specific emphasis on females
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2021-11-26)Participation and interest in female football is rising. Football is considered a complex sport, where technical, tactical, and physiological traits are suggested to impact the players´ ability to perform. However, most research on physical testing and training prescription derives from males. Although research is emerging on the match demands of female football, how underlying physiological or ... -

Altered functional connectivity in adolescent anorexia nervosa is related to age and cortical thickness
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-06)Introduction - Functional networks develop throughout adolescence when anorexia nervosa (AN) normally debuts. In AN, cerebral structural alterations are found in most brain regions and may be related to the observed functional brain changes. Few studies have investigated the functional networks of the brain in adolescent AN patients.. The aim of this explorative study was to investigate multiple ... -

In children and adolescents with temporomandibular disorder assembled with juvenile idiopathic arthritis ‑ no association were found between pain and TMJ deformities using CBCT
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-12)Background - Children and adolescents with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) may suffer from temporomandibular disorder (TMD). Due to this, imaging diagnosis is crucial in JIA with non-symptomatic TM joint (TMJ) involvement. The aim of the study was to examine the association between clinical TMD signs/symptoms and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) findings of TMJ structural deformities in ...
