Gjennom de siste årene har nye terapimuligheter og økt kunnskap om gamle metoder ført til endringer i vår behandling av Parkinsons sykdom. Likevel åpner alle tilgjengelige norske og utenlandske terapianbefalinger for ulike og ofte sidestilte alternativer. Basert på de evidensbaserte terapianbefalingene og på våre egne personlige erfaringer og oppfatninger presenterer vi i denne kliniske oversikten ...

The rapid ongoing changes in the Central Arctic Ocean call for baseline information on the pelagic fauna. However, sampling for motile organisms which easily escape vertically towed nets is challenging. Here, we report the species composition and catch weight of pelagic fishes and larger zooplankton from 12 trawl hauls conducted in ice covered waters in the Central Arctic Ocean beyond the continental ...

This article explores Southern Saami reindeer herders’ experiences and contestations over state consultation and corporate dialogue during a confict over the Øy ellet wind energy project in Norway. Informed by a committed research approach and juxtaposition with findings from Indigenous peoples’ territorial struggles in Latin-America, the article provides critical perspectives on governance ...

Background Previous research has indicated that anger and aggression may be elevated in adolescents with a bulimia nervosa (BN) diagnosis. However, as yet, little is known about whether bulimia symptoms are linked to anger and aggression in adolescents in the general population. To address this deficit this study aimed to explore the associations between a clinical level of bulimia symptoms (CLBS) ...

Objectives: To quantify energy expenditure and intake in professional female footballers playing on a national and/or international level. Second, to determine the prevalence of low energy availability among these players, defined as <30 kcal/kg fat-free mass (FFM)/day. Methods: Fifty-one players completed a 14-day prospective observational study during the 2021/2022 football season. Energy ...

The transport sector is a major contributor to the emission of greenhouse gases and air pollution. As urbanization and population growth continue to increase, the demand for transportation services grows, emphasizing the need for sustainable practices. Therefore, incorporating sustainability into the transport sector can effectively reduce its negative impacts on the environment and optimize the ...

Evaluating the performance of numerical weather models (NWMs) is crucial to identify the best choice of model for wind resource assessments. This thesis has investigated how well NWMs with different horizontal resolutions reproduced the wind directions, the wind speeds and the associated power production at a wind power plant located in complex terrain. The evaluated models included NORA3, ...

The Norwegian energy system has traditionally had an energy surplus with a large share of hydro power. Due to increasing demand of power from large scale electrification, the power system is estimated to experience hours of national power deficient in 2030 even with moderate increase of consumption. Extensive increase of variable production renewable power from wind and solar in Northern Europe has ...

The global energy demand and the urgency to limit greenhouse gas emissions require a transition to cleaner energy sources. Solar energy harvesting is a compelling solution because it can harness the sun’s enormous resources. Solar photovoltaic technology is widely adopted worldwide due to being versatile, adaptable, and mature. However, low solar irradiation and harsh weather conditions limit its ...

A dataset to describe exposed bedrock and surficial geology of Antarctica has been constructed by the GeoMAP Action Group of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) and GNS Science. Our group captured existing geological map data into a geographic information system (GIS), refined its spatial reliability, harmonised classification, and improved representation of glacial sequences and ...
