    • Biochemical and biophysical characterization of the OXA-48-like carbapenemase OXA-436 

      Lund, Bjarte Aarmo; Thomassen, Ane Molden; Carlsen, Trine Josefine Warg; Leiros, Hanna-Kirsti Schrøder (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-31)
      The crystal structure of the class D β-lactamase OXA-436 was solved to a resolution of 1.80 Å. Higher catalytic rates were found at higher temperatures for the clinically important antibiotic imipenem, indicating better adaptation of OXA-436 to its mesophilic host than OXA-48, which is believed to originate from an environmental source. Furthermore, based on the most populated conformations during ...

    • Discovering gender and inflection. A view from Icelandic 

      Björnsdottir, Sigridur Mjoll (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2021-09-20)
      <p>In this dissertation, I investigate the nature of generalizations in grammatical gender and inflectional morphology from a learning perspective. Cross-linguistic differences in children’s learning trajectories have been at the forefront of research on the acquisition of grammatical gender. Transparency has been argued to be predictive of children’s behavior in gender acquisition (Slobin, 1977). ...

    • Emotional Infant Face Processing in Women With Major Depression and Expecting Parents With Depressive Symptoms 

      Bohne, Agnes; Nordahl, Dag; Lindahl, Åsne; Ulvenes, Pål Gunnar; Wang, Catharina Elisabeth Arfwedson; Pfuhl, Gerit (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-02)
      Processing of emotional facial expressions is of great importance in interpersonal relationships. Aberrant engagement with facial expressions, particularly an engagement with sad faces, loss of engagement with happy faces, and enhanced memory of sadness has been found in depression. Since most studies used adult faces, we here examined if such biases also occur in processing of infant faces in those ...

    • Histological and ultrastructural degenerative findings in the gluteus medius tendon after hip arthroplasty 

      Ibrahim, Mustafa; Hedlundh, Urban; Sernert, Ninni; Meknas, Khaled; Haag, Lars; Movin, Tomas; Papadogiannakis, Nikos; Kartus, Jüri-Tomas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-26)
      <i>Background</i> - Despite gluteus medius (GMED) tendinosis being relatively common, its presence in association with hip osteoarthritis (OA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA) is not well studied. It was hypothesized that more tendon degeneration would be found in patients with OA of the hip and in those that had undergone THA than that in a control group.<br><br> <i>Methods</i> - One hundred ...

Studies have shown high mortality in Tanzanian children with ESBL-E infections. Gut colonization of ESBL-E, which is a potential risk factor of ESBL-E ...

    • Being connected to nature, reindeer, and family: findings from a photovoice study on well-being among older South Sámi people 

      Ness, Tove Mentsen; Munkejord, Mai Camilla (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-14)
      In this paper, we examine the perceptions of well-being among older South Sámi people with various experiences from reindeer herding by use of a method called photovoice. Eleven participants, including six men and five women aged 67–84 years, agreed to take photos of <i>situations, things, or persons that made them feel a sense of well-being</i>. When the researcher collected the photos, the ...

    • Study of Wind Flow Angle and Velocity on Ice Accretion of Transmission Line Composite Insulators 

      Huang, Yafei; Virk, Muhammad Shakeel; Jiang, Xingliang (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-18)
      Ice accretion on insulators in cold regions is a serious and inevitable problem for power transmission lines, which may cause over-load and icing flashover accidents and can lead to wide power outage. In this research work, multiphase numerical simulations are carried out to investigate the effect of wind flow angle & velocity on the ice accretion of transmission line composite insulators. To verify ...

    • Ultrafiltration of Saithe (Pollachius virens) Protein Hydrolysates and Its Effect on Antioxidative Activity 

      Hjellnes, Veronica Hammer; Rustad, Turid; Jensen, Ida-Johanne; Eiken, Elin; Pettersen, Stine Marie; Falch, Eva (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-30)
      The whitefish industry generates a huge amount of rest raw material, which is currently wasted or underutilized in the production of low-value products such as animal feed. While fish muscle is the primary product of use for human consumption, rest raw material has great potential as a source of protein and bioactive peptides for the production of food ingredients and nutraceuticals. Enzymatic ...

    • «I barnehagen leker man mest, og i skolen lærer man masse» En fenomenologisk studie om hvordan barn opplever overgangen til å begynne på skole. 

      Malmo, Lisa (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-06-01)
      Formålet med denne studien var å forstå barnas opplevelser av overgangen fra å gå i barnehage til å begynne på skole. I tillegg var det ønskelig å se på om lek og uteskole kunne ha noen betydning for barnas opplevelser i overgangen. Problemstillingen for studien ble formulert slik: Hvordan opplever barn overgangen fra barnehage til skole, og hvordan kan uteskole og lek bidra i overgangen? For å svare ...

    • Kreativitet i fagfornyelsen - En litteraturgjennomgang av kreativitet i utdanning 

      Storjord, Kristoffer (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-05-18)
      Kreativitet er et vidt og mye diskutert tema forskning og politikk. I diskusjonen blir kreativitet i utdanning ofte omtalt som noe positivt. Det som er mindre omtalt er hva kreativitet er, og hvordan man underviser for å utvikle kreativitet. I dag er den norske skolen i endring, der de nye læreplanene nylig er blitt innført i skolen. Bakgrunnen for denne studien er at læreplaner har stor ...

    • Er Atlantisk lakseparr (Salmo salar L.) mottakelig for piscint myokardittvirus (PMCV) ved bruk av kohabitant smittemodell? En sammenligning mellom parr og smolt 

      Gustavsen, Sunniva-Berly M. (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-05-17)
      CMS hos voksen laks i sjø skyldes piscint myokardittvirus (PMCV). På grunn av utbrudd rett før slakt, kan sykdommen gi store økonomiske problem. Ved forsøk med PMCV i laks, er viruset påvist flere ganger, men ved bruk av parr er det derimot ikke så mye data. Med tanke på smittemodeller ville det å kunne bruke parr i stedet for smolt, redusere vannmengde, tid og karplass. Det er derfor i samarbeid ...

    • Jeg hører deg ikke, det er for mørkt her 

      Endresen, Kaja Haugli (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-05-31)
      Denne studien tar for seg hva en hørselshemmet elev i ordinær grunnskole mener en matematikklærer må kunne og gjøre, for å tilpasse matematikkundervisningen i det ordinære klasserommet. Problemstillingen er som følger: Hva mener en hørselshemmet elev er viktig for å kunne tilrettelegge matematikkundervisningen for elever med hørselsproblematikk? For å besvare problemstillingen har jeg benyttet ...
