Segmentation of Polar Mesospheric Summer Echoes using Fully Convolutional Network
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-04-26)Polar Mesospheric Summer Echoes (PMSE) are strong coherent radar echoes that occur in the 80 to 90 km altitude range of the mesosphere during the Arctic summer months. These echoes are of significant interest to the space physics community as they provide insight into changes that occur in the atmosphere. To better understand these changes, large datasets of PMSE echoes need to be analysed. In ... -
Low D-dimer levels at diagnosis of venous thromboembolism are associated with reduced risk of recurrence: data from the TROLL registry
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-31)Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a frequent disease with a high risk of recurrence. It has been suggested that the D-dimer level at the time of VTE diagnosis can be used to identify patients at a low risk of recurrence. Objectives: We aimed to investigate the impact of D-dimer levels measured at the time of VTE diagnosis on the risk of recurrence in a large cohort of patients with a ... -
The patient´s role in undergraduate health students' interprofessional clinical placements
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2023-06-16)Changed demographics and the prevalence of chronic, non-communicable, and infectious diseases create challenges in healthcare - lack of resources forces a transition from one-to-one to team-based approaches.

Interprofessional education ... -
D-dimer for diagnosis and risk assessment of first and recurrent venous thromboembolism
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2023-06-15)Venøs tromboembolisme (VTE) er en samlebetegnelse på dyp venetrombose (DVT) og lungeemboli. D-dimer, en blodprøve for koagulasjon og fibrinolyse, har vært en sentral del av VTE-diagnostikken i flere tiår. Blodprøven D-dimer har flere bruksområder og kan dermed reflektere ulike aspekter ved VTE. I denne avhandlingen har vi undersøkt i) om det er trygt og effektivt å bruke D-dimer uten samtidig bruk ... -
Advancing Deep Learning for Marine Environment Monitoring

Internasjonale studenter: Skal de bli eller må de dra?
(Chronicle; Kronikk, 2023-05-16)Stortinget skal snart behandle forslaget om at internasjonale studenter må betale høye studieavgifter. Om avgiftene innføres fra høsten, vil det etter alt å dømme bety færre internasjonale studenter, nedlegging av studieprogrammer, mindre mangfold og at vi mister kompetanse både i Norge og land i sør. Det med mindre vi nå tenker nytt og innovativt om finansiering. -
