Opposite and dynamic regulation of the interferon response in metastatic and non-metastatic breast cancer
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-07)Background To our current understanding, solid tumors depend on suppressed local immune reactions, often elicited by the interaction between tumor cells and tumor microenvironment (TME) components. Despite an improved understanding of anti-cancer immune responses in the TME, it is still unclear how immuno-suppressive TME are formed and how some cancer cells survive and metastasize.<p> <p>Methods ... -

Prospective Association of Daily Steps with Cardiovascular Disease: A Harmonized Meta-Analysis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-20)Background: Taking fewer than the widely promoted “10 000 steps per day” has recently been associated with lower risk of all-cause mortality. The relationship of steps and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk remains poorly described. A meta-analysis examining the dose–response relationship between steps per day and CVD can help inform clinical and public health guidelines. Methods: Eight prospective ... -

«Det handler om å alltid ha vært»: Transidentitet og aktørskap i bildeboka Ollianna
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)I denne artikkelen analyserer vi framstillinga av transmotivet i bildeboka Ollianna (Dahle & Nyhus, 2020) og drøfter hvilke forestillinger om barn og barndom som ligger til grunn. Særlig undersøker vi om framstillinga av trans- og cispersonene i Ollianna er normativ, og i hvilken grad boka bidrar til å utfordre eller opprettholde eksisterende kjønnsnormer. Analysen undersøker hvordan boka skildrer ... -
Escape panels in trawls: does placement matter when every individual contacting the panel can escape?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-12)Escape panels are one of the bycatch reduction devices most used in trawl fisheries but their efficiency rely on fish actively contacting the panel to escape. To investigate if contact behaviour changes at different panel placements, we tested a 300 mm square mesh panel placed in the upper panel of the codend at 3, 4 and 7 m from the codline. Seven competing models of contact probability were fitted ... -
Characterization and Productivity of Alluvial Aquifers in Sustainability Oasis Areas: A Case Study of the Tata Watershed (Southeast Morocco)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-27)Groundwater from alluvial aquifers is a critical source of water supply for rural agriculture, particularly in semi-arid and arid regions. Effective management of these aquifers requires an understanding of the factors that influence their water resources. In this study, we present a case study of the Tata watershed in southeastern Morocco, where the economy is heavily dependent on agriculture and ... -
Used vs. new: Does it have consequences for the performance of fishing gear?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-06)Sea trials to test size selectivity equipment in trawls are often limited in time because they are costly, and the results can be influenced by multiple factors that are often overlooked. In the Barents Sea gadoid trawl fishery, the use of a size sorting grid in front of the codend is compulsory. The flexigrid, a netting section containing two flexible grids, is the most widely used grid section in ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-16)With growing urbanization and increasing world population, energy demand also increases. A significant portion of the world’s energy comes from fossil fuels, and these sources of energy are declining rapidly at the current consumption rate. There are also growing environmental concerns on the use of fossil fuels increasing greenhouse gas emissions. In this regard, renewable energy (RE) shows promising ... -
B-1 plasma cells require non-cognate CD4 T cell help to generate a unique repertoire of natural IgM
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)Evolutionarily conserved, “natural” (n)IgM is broadly reactive to both self and foreign antigens. Its selective deficiency leads to increases in autoimmune diseases and infections. In mice, nIgM is secreted independent of microbial exposure to bone marrow (BM) and spleen B-1 cell–derived plasma cells (B-1PC), generating the majority of nIgM, or by B-1 cells that remain non-terminally differentiated ... -
