Does the efficiency of a counter-herding device depend on seabed contact?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-06)To prevent unwanted fish bycatch from entering the trawl, we modified a counter-herding device, FLEXSELECT, developed for a Northeast Atlantic <i>Nephrops</i> (<i>Nephrops norvegicus</i>) trawl fishery. FLEXSELECT, which was designed to direct fish away from the trawl by means of sweeping ropes in the herding area, has been shown to be highly effective on both roundfish and flatfish species. However, ... -
Democracy without Enlightenment: A Jury Theorem for Evaluative Voting
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-08)Say a jury is going to decide who wins a competition. First, each member evaluates all the competitors by grading them; then, for each competitor, a collective grade is derived from all the judgments of all the members; finally, the jury chooses as the winner the competitor with the highest collective grade. This is <i>collective grading</i>. The grades that are used might typically be numerical ... -

The spiralling effects of the Sino-American trade war
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2020-06-05)Almost two years ago, China and the United States instigated a trade conflict which has had serious international effects, a situation since exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic. What has truly made a solution to this conflict elusive, however, is that its origins lie well beyond questions of trade deficits and fair competition, and are instead based on the looming question of a power transition ... -
Static polarizabilities at the basis set limit: A benchmark of 124 species
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-16)Benchmarking molecular properties with Gaussian-type orbital (GTO) basis sets can be challenging, because one has to assume that the computed property is at the complete basis set (CBS) limit, without a robust measure of the error. Multiwavelet (MW) bases can be systematically improved with a controllable error, which eliminates the need for such assumptions. In this work, we have used MWs within ... -
Synergism between cruising cod and ambush sculpin predators on 0-group gadoids is modified by daylight cycle and presence of aggressive wolffish
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-06)Shorthorn sculpin (<i>Myoxocephalus scorpius</i>) and large cod (300–400 g body weight) are important predators on newly settled 0-group cod (<i>Gadus morhua</i>) and saithe (<i>Pollachius virens</i>) in Porsangerfjorden in northern Norway. The Atlantic wolffish (<i>Anarhichas lupus</i>) used to be abundant but is now very rare in the fjord. Video recorded experiments showed that interactions between ... -
E-health in Norway Before and During the Initial Phase of the Covid-19 Pandemic
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)The use of e-health services has for many years gradually increased in Norway as in most European countries.

In this study, we review the literature with the aim of examining any changes in e-health use during the Covid-19 pandemic. We find that there has been a marked change in Norway, with an ... -
Informasjon og sikkerhet i arktiske farvann
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-02)Regjeringens nye nordområdemelding, som blir lagt fram til høsten, kommer like før FN går inn i sitt «havforskningstiår» (2021-2030). Selv om nordområdene handler om mer enn hav, er forvaltningen av de store havområdene nord for polarsirkelen et sentralt element. Arktis har i de seinere årene blitt et brennpunkt for kryssende strategier, interesser og verdier. Den globale oppvarmingen gjør at stadig ... -
Anti-inflammatory effects of non-statin low-density lipoprotein cholesterol-lowering drugs: an unused potential?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-05)<i>Objectives</i>: Inflammatory responses are closely knit with low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol in driving atherosclerosis. Even if LDL-cholesterol is causative to atherosclerotic diseases and LDL-cholesterol lowering reduces hard clinical endpoints, there is a residual risk for clinical events, possibly driven by inflammatory processes, in accordance with its role in autoimmune ... -
