Constructions, their families and their neighborhoods: the case of durak durakom ‘a fool times two’
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-20)On the basis of data from the Russian National Corpus, we analyze the mean- ings and structure of the syntactic construction observed in phrases like durak durakom ‘fool-nom.sg fool-ins.sg’, which we term the ‘NOM∼INS construction’. We argue that the construction constitutes a network of three closely related subcategories, which we refer to as ‘Extreme’, ‘Paragon’ and ‘Discourse Change’. It is ... -

Familiens betydning for ungdoms religiøse identitetsutvikling Ungdom med muslimsk bakgrunn i fosterhjem
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-02-27)Tidligere forskning har vist at foreldrenes religiøse ståsted har betydning for ungdoms religiøse identitetsutvikling, men også at ungdom i økende grad ønsker å bestemme selv hvordan de praktiserer religion. I denne artikkelen spør vi hvordan ungdoms mulighet til å treffe selvstendige valg når det gjelder personlig tro og praksis påvirker deres religiøse identitet. Mer spesifikt undersøker vi hvordan ... -
Livsmestring i den samiske barnehagen
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-28)Faktorer som påvirker hvordan miljøet kan fremme barns livsmestring utgjør ofte en kompleks sammenheng. Med utgangspunkt i Antonovskys teorier om opplevelse av sammenheng og salutogenese diskuterer vi betydningsfulle faktorer for at den samiske barnehagen kan fremme livsmestring i sitt pedagogiske arbeid. Vi argumenterer for at disse teoriene kan bidra til en bred forståelse av livs mestring i ... -

Shedding of Brucella melitensis happens through milk macrophages in the murine model of infection
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-10)Although shedding of zoonotic brucellae in milk has been demonstrated in natural hosts, these data are still missing for the standard murine infection model. We therefore analysed shedding kinetics and the niche of <i>B. melitensis</i> in murine milk. Pregnant Balb/cByJ mice were intraperitoneally infected with 10<sup>5</sup> CFU of the 16 M reference strain, a 16 M mCherry mutant or a human isolate. ... -
Quantifying the contribution of established risk factors to cardiovascular mortality differences between Russia and Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-27)Surprisingly few attempts have been made to quantify the simultaneous contribution of well-established risk factors to CVD mortality differences between countries. We aimed to develop and critically appraise an approach to doing so, applying it to the substantial CVD mortality gap between Russia and Norway using survey data in three cities and mortality risks from the Emerging Risk Factor Collaboration. ... -
