Individuals with intellectual disabilities have a more sedentary lifestyle than the general population, and the need for regular physical activity is high. The World Health Organization recommends 150 minutes of physical activity each week. Exergames can contain elements that excite ...

Denne kvalitative studien har undersøkt nyutdannede læreres erfaringer med veiledning og andre former for støtte, deres første år i yrket. I Norge har vi en etablert veiledningsordning, basert på forståelsen av at lærerutdanningen ikke tilfredsstillende forbereder nyutdannede lærere på alle oppgaver som skal løses i skolen. Noen oppgaver læres først når man kommer ut i yrket. Siktemålet med veiledning ...

Visually foraging planktivorous fish are prey of visual predators, and their foraging behaviour may be affected by light levels both in terms of gain and risk. The large seasonal change in day length throughout a subarctic summer at 69°N was used to show the influence of light on diel vertical migration (DVM) and shoaling patterns in a planktivorous fish assemblage consisting of two species (<i>Coregonus ...

In people with type 1 diabetes, hyperglycemia often occurs upon infection incidences. Despite the fact that patients increasingly gather data about themselves, there are no solid findings that uncover the effect of infection incidences on key ...

Turgencin A, a potent antimicrobial peptide isolated from the Arctic sea squirt <i>Synoicum turgens</i>, consists of 36 amino acid residues and three disulfide bridges, making it challenging to synthesize. The aim of the present study was to develop a truncated peptide with an antimicrobial drug lead potential based on turgencin A. The experiments consisted of: (1) sequence analysis and prediction ...
