    • Stable organization of the early lexical-semantic network in 18- and 24-month-old preterm and full-term infants: an eye-tracker study 

      Rago, Anett; Varga, Zsuzsanna; Szabo, Miklos (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-21)
      Introduction: An organized mental lexicon determines new information acquisition by orienting attention during language processing. Adult-like lexicalsemantic knowledge organization has already been demonstrated in 24-montholds. However, the outcomes of earlier studies have been contradictory in terms of the organizational capacities of 18-month-olds, thus our aim was to examine lexical-semantic ...
    • Variation of Mean Radiant Temperature in Rooms for Summer and Winter Conditions 

      Tamrakar, Stutee; Chen, Liguo; Sørensen, Bjørn Reidar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-25)
      The standard for ergonomics of the thermal environment provides information on the calculation of optimal thermal comfort. Operative temperature (OT) is one of the essential elements of thermal comfort and is a function of air temperature, mean radiant temperature (MRT), and air velocity. This paper investigates the impact of diverse influences on MRT in an office room based on occupant position ...
    • Stress measurements in the weak layer during snow stability tests 

      Griesser, Silke; Pielmeier, Christine; Boutera Toft, Håvard; Reiweger, Ingrid (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-27)
      The snow compression test is a snow stability test where an isolated column of snow is progressively loaded by tapping on it to induce failure in a possible weak layer. The test result provides valuable information about the propensity of failure initiation within the snowpack. However, different persons might tap with different force and thus reduce the reproducibility of the test results. The ...
    • High-speed TIRF and 2D super-resolution structured illumination microscopy with a large field of view based on fiber optic components 

      Ortkrass, Henning; Schürstedt, Jasmin; Wiebusch, Gerd; Szafranska, Karolina Joanna; McCourt, Peter Anthony; Huser, Thomas Rolf (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-16)
      Super-resolved structured illumination microscopy (SR-SIM) is among the most flexible, fast, and least perturbing fluorescence microscopy techniques capable of surpassing the optical diffraction limit. Current custom-built instruments are easily able to deliver two-fold resolution enhancement at video-rate frame rates, but the cost of the instruments is still relatively high, and the physical size ...

      Kerr-Little, Andi; Bramness, Jørgen Gustav; Newberry, Ruth C.; Biong, Stian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-27)
      Background: Recovery from substance use is commonly seen as a process of integrating social relationships and creating a sense of meaning in one’s life. Dog owners describe a close relationship with their dog that impacts many aspects of their everyday life. Yet for individuals with substance use disorder (SUD), little is known about how dog ownership could affect their lives. The aim of this study ...
    • Pregnant Women at Low Risk of Having a Child with Fetal and Neonatal Alloimmune Thrombocytopenia Do Not Require Treatment with Intravenous Immunoglobulin 

      Kjeldsen-Kragh, Jens; Bein, Gregor; Tiller, Heidi (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-24)
      Fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) is a rare condition in which maternal alloantibodies to fetal platelets cause fetal thrombocytopenia that may lead to intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). Off-label intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) has for 30 years been the standard of care for pregnant women who previously have had a child with FNAIT. The efficacy of this treatment has never ...
    • Fictitious cases as a methodology to discuss sensitive health topics in focus groups 

      Gram, Emma Grundtvig; Brodersen, John Brandt; Hansen, Cæcilie; Pickles, Kristen; Smith, Jenna; Brandt Ryborg Jønsson, Alexandra (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-18)
      Purpose: It can be challenging to research aspects of people’s health behaviour, attitudes, and emotions due to the sensitive nature of these topics. We aimed to develop a novel methodology for discussing sensitive health topics, and explore the effectiveness in focus groups using prostate cancer and screening as an example.<p> <p>Method: We developed a fictitious case and employed it as a ...

      Marsh, Phillip L.; Moore, Ernest E.; Moore, Hunter B.; Bunch, Connor M.; Aboukhaled, Michael; Condon, Shaun M.; Al-Fadhl, Mahmoud D.; Thomas, Samuel J.; Larson, John R.; Bower, Charles W.; Miller, Craig B.; Pearson, Michelle L.; Twilling, Christopher L.; Reser, David W.; Kim, George S.; Troyer, Brittany M.; Yeager, Doyle; Thomas, Scott G.; Srikureja, Daniel P.; Patel, Shivani S.; Añón, Sofía L.; Thomas, Anthony V.; Miller, Joseph B.; Van Ryn, David E.; Pamulapati, Saagar V.; Zimmerman, Devin; Wells, Byars; Martin, Peter L.; Seder, Christopher W.; Aversa, John G.; Greene, Ryan B.; March, Robert J.; Kwaan, Hau C.; Fulkerson, Daniel H.; Vande Lune, Stefani A.; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Nielsen, Erik Waage; Stage Storm, Benjamin; Walsh, Mark M. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-19)
      Iatrogenic vascular air embolism is a relatively infrequent event but is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. These emboli can arise in many clinical settings such as neurosurgery, cardiac surgery, and liver transplantation, but more recently, endoscopy, hemodialysis, thoracentesis, tissue biopsy, angiography, and central and peripheral venous access and removal have overtaken surgery ...

      The trajectories of patients in need of long-term rehabilitation services are extremely complex. Therefore, strengthening the rehabilitation field requires increasing organizational resilience to ensure robust processes and efficient collaboration and communication. In this study, we explored how digital systems can promote organizational resilience in rehabilitation practices. Methodologically, ...

    • Kant und Paulus über Gesetz, Liebe und Gnade 

      Himmelmann, Beatrix (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-04-07)
      Gesetz und Gesetzlichkeit spielen in Kants kritischer Philosophie eine hervorragende Rolle. Denn die menschliche Vernunft ist für Kant ein Vermögen der Gesetzgebung. Der Nachweis allgemein gültiger Vernunftgesetze, in denen die Menschen in all ihrer Verschiedenheit vereint sind, ist deshalb auch für Kants Ethik zentral. Er entwickelt eine Gesetzesethik. Paulus dagegen hat eine wirkmächtige Tradition ...
    • Surgery As a Trigger for Incident Venous Thromboembolism: Results from a Population-Based Case-Crossover Study 

      Meknas, Dana; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas; Hansen, John Bjarne; Morelli, Vania Maris (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-20)
      Background Surgery is a major transient risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE). However, the impact of major surgery as a VTE trigger has been scarcely investigated using a case-crossover design.<p> <p>Aim To investigate the role of major surgery as a trigger for incident VTE in a population-based case-crossover study while adjusting for other concomitant VTE triggers. <p>Methods We ...
    • Alderdommens fenomenologi: Om kropp, tid og passivitet 

      Dahl, Espen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-13)
      Simone de Beauvoir og Jean Améry har skrevet avgjørende verk innen aldringens fenomenologi som avdekker sentrale sider ved den aldrendes erfaring av kropp og tid. Begge mener at det innskrenkede handlingsrommet og den forkortede fremtidshorisonten som alderdommen medfører, truer livets meningsfullhet. Dette hviler imidlertid på premisset om at det meningsfulle livet utfolder seg som ungdommelighet, ...

Studies describing cases ...
    • Are relative educational inequalities in multiple health behaviors widening? A longitudinal study of middle-aged adults in Northern Norway 

      Ibarra Sanchez, Ana Silvia; Chen, Gang; Wisløff, Torbjørn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-22)
      Introduction: Educational inequality in multiple health behaviors is rarely monitored using data from the same individuals as they age. The aim of this study is to research changes in relative educational inequality in multiple variables related to health behavior (smoking, physical activity, alcohol intake, and body mass index), separately and collectively (healthy lifestyle), among middle-aged adults ...
