Trawlers targeting Deep-water Shrimp (<i>Pandalus borealis</i>) in the North Atlantic use a Nordmøre sorting grid ahead of a small-meshed codend. Based on experimental fishing, the effect of adding a 9 mm spaced release grid behind the mandatory 19 mm spaced Nordmøre sorting grid, was determined. The performance in terms of size selection of the release grid and the two grids combined were assessed ...

There are few published studies in nationally representative populations of women on specific, ‘obesity-related’ cancers in relation to prior weight change and relevant confounders.</p> <p><i>Methods</i>: Based on self-reported anthropometry, we prospectively assessed ...

Patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) exhibit volume reduction in cerebral gray matter (GM), and several studies report reduced hippocampus volume. The hippocampal subfields (HS) are functionally and structurally distinct, and appear to respond differently to neuropathology. The aim of this study was to investigate HS volumes in adolescent females with restrictive AN compared to a healthy age-matched ...

<p><i>Introduction</i>: Maternal age is an established risk factor for cesarean section; epidural analgesia and oxytocin augmentation may modify this association. We investigated the effects and interactions of oxytocin augmentation, epidural analgesia and maternal age on the risk of cesarean section.</p> <p><i>Material and methods</i>: In all, 416 386 nulliparous women with spontaneous onset of ...

This study examined whether the Incredible Years (IY) Teacher Classroom Management (TCM) program implemented as a school-wide preventive intervention at 1st to 3rd grade in a regular school setting reduces the development of problem behavior and improves social competence. Using a quasi-experimental pre-post design, the IYTCM was implemented in 21 schools and compared with 22 matched schools that ...

We investigated the temporal profiles of a Norwegian general population sample and their relation to health behaviors and intentions. The profiles were based on variables from the present and future dimensions of the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI), the Consideration of Future Consequences Scale (CFCS), and the combination of both scales. The analysis revealed that there were only two ...

The transport and evolution of a mineral oil slick originating at a seep in the Gulf of Mexico approximately 16 km offshore of the mouth of the Mississippi River is measured using a series of images acquired at 40 minute intervals with the Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle Synthetic Aperture Radar (UAVSAR), an L-band, high resolution, high signal-to-noise instrument operated by the U.S. National Aeronautics ...

Several researchers have raised the concern that the cross-sectional association of retrospectively reported childhood adversity with self-reported onset of asthma and chronic bronchitis in adulthood may be confounded, as well as mediated by an individual's mental health. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of retrospectively reported childhood adversity on self-reported onset of asthma ...
