We compare the Doppler-derived ice velocities with global positioning system ... -
Gas hydrate dissociation off Svalbard induced by isostatic rebound rather than global warming
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-08)Methane seepage from the upper continental slopes of Western Svalbard has previously been attributed to gas hydrate dissociation induced by anthropogenic warming of ambient bottom waters. Here we show that sediment cores drilled off Prins Karls Foreland contain freshwater from dissociating hydrates. However, our modeling indicates that the observed pore water freshening began around 8 ka BP when ... -

Patients'and therapists' experiences with a new treatment programme for eating disorders that combines physical exercise and dietary therapy: the PED-t trial. A qualitative study protocol.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-08)Introduction:<br> Women with bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder often suffer for many years before they seek professional help. Evidence-based treatments like cognitive–behavioural therapy (CBT) might be poorly accessible, and about 50% of those who receive CBT respond to it. Such outcome may reflect the heterogeneous nature of eating disorders, and addressing this heterogeneity calls ... -

The secondary objective was ascertaining the difference between women with dental caries who experienced PTB and those who did not with regard to decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT), and decayed, missing and filled surfaces (DMFS) indices. <br>M ... -
Middle to Late Devonian–Carboniferous collapse basins on the Finnmark Platform and in the southwesternmost Nordkapp basin, SW Barents Sea
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-28)The SW Barents Sea margin experienced a pulse of extensional deformation in the Middle–Late Devonian through the Carboniferous, after the Caledonian Orogeny terminated. These events marked the initial stages of formation of major offshore basins such as the Hammerfest and Nordkapp basins. We mapped and analyzed three major fault complexes, (i) the Måsøy Fault Complex, (ii) the Rolvsøya fault, and ... -
Risk of early-onset prostate cancer associated with occupation in the Nordic countries
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017-11-10)Background: <br>Early-onset prostate cancer is often more aggressive and may have a different etiology than later-onset prostate cancer, but has been relatively little studied to date. We evaluated occupation in relation to early-onset and later-onset prostate cancer in a large pooled study. <br>Methods: <br>We used occupational information from census data in five Nordic countries from 1960-1990. ... -
Transcranial direct current stimulation: the effect on functional outcomes in the pain and motor domains
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2015-06-08)The physiological effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in the living human brain were verified experimentally in the early 2000's. A series of studies from Göttingen, Germany, shows that consistently, anodal stimulation lead to increased cortical excitability, while cathodal stimulation leads to increased cortical inhibition. Since then, the effect of tDCS has been further ... -
