    • Associations of urinary orosomucoid, N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase, and albumin with blood pressure and hypertension during 7 years of follow-up. The Tromsø Study 

      Brobak, Karl Marius; Andreassen, Runa Marie; Melsom, Toralf; Høieggen, Aud; Norvik, Jon Viljar; Solbu, Marit Dahl (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-03)
      Purpose: Subclinical chronic kidney disease is known to exacerbate hypertension and progression of kidney damage. In order to initiate timely interventions, early biomarkers for this vicious circle are needed. Our aim was to describe the cross-sectional associations of urinary orosomucoid and urinary N-acetyl-b-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) with blood pressure and the longitudinal associations of urinary ...

    • Balance Sheets of Suffering in End-of-Life Care 

      Wackers, Ger (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2017-10-04)
      Drawing on recent work in cognitive linguistics and social studies of knowledge practices, this chapter explores the various ways in which the figure of a balance sheet frames arguments and positions in end-of-life care. Across arguments and positions, there are substantial differences in the kinds of matter that are balanced against each other and the values attributed to them, and which items are ...

    • The use of protection for sexually transmitteed infections (STIs) and unwanted pregnancy among Norwegian heterosexual young adults 2009 

      Træen, Bente; Gravningen, Kirsten Midttun (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011-03-05)
      This paper explores the use and none-use of condoms among young heterosexual adults in Norway. To what extent do young heterosexuals use condoms and other types of contraception, and in which context does the use take place? What are the motives underlying both use and non use of condoms? The results are based on a 2009 national web panel survey among 16–24 year-olds in Norway (n = 871). Most ...

    • New codend designs to improve the size selectivity of fyke net for narrow-clawed crayfish (Pontastacus leptodactylus) 

      Cilbiz, Mehmet; Aydin, Celalettin; Herrmann, Bent (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-23)
      The narrow-clawed crayfish (Pontastacus leptodactylus) is one of the most ecologically and economically important freshwater species in Turkey. However, the harvest of this species has declined from 7937 t in 1984 to 696 t in 2019. One of primary reasons for this decrease in stock is the use of fishing gears with poor size selectivity. In this study, new codend designs were investigated to improve ...

    • The Rising Importance of e-Health in Norway 

      Wynn, Rolf; Ellingsen, Gunnar; Traver Salcedo, Vincente (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022)
      Drawing on three central sources of data on the development in e-health use in Norway (studies from the Norwegian Centre for e-Health Research, studies from Statistics Norway, and the Tromsø 7 Study), we describe the rising importance of e-health. Originally restricted to a limited use within the health services, in recent years the use of e-health has gained momentum both in the general population ...

    • National Integration Components Challenge the Epic Implementation in Central Norway 

      Ellingsen, Gunnar; Hertzum, Morten; Christensen, Bente; Wynn, Rolf (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022)
      Electronic health record (EHR) suites cover a broad range of cross-sectoral use scenarios. Thereby, they streamline information flows but also require that healthcare professionals with diverse responsibilities must adapt to one and the same system. In the region of Central Norway, the EHR suite from Epic is being implemented at hospitals as well as in municipal healthcare. However, the 64 municipalities ...

    • Surface chlorophyll anomalies induced by mesoscale eddy- wind interactions in the northern Norwegian Sea 

      Dong, Huizi; Zhou, Meng; Raj, Roshin Pappukutty; Smith, Walker O; Basedow, Sünnje Linnéa; Ji, Rubao; Ashjian, Carin; Zhang, Zhaoru; Hu, Ziyuan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-29)
      The substantial productivity of the northern Norwegian Sea is closely related to its strong mesoscale eddy activity, but how eddies affect phytoplankton biomass levels in the upper ocean through horizontal and vertical transportmixing has not been well quantified. To assess mesoscale eddy induced ocean surface chlorophyll-a concentration (CHL) anomalies and modulation of eddywind interactions in ...

    • Cetacean presence on the northern Mid Atlantic Ridge revealed through passive acoustic monitoring 

      Dunning, Katherine; Ahonen, Heidi; Menze, Sebastian (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2022-09-16)
      Cetaceans are known to utilise the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a key topographical feature in the Atlantic Ocean, for migratory and feeding purposes. Passive acoustic monitoring was used over a one-year period (2007/2008) to identify cetacean vocalisations that occurred on a location near the Charlie Gibbs Fracture Zone. Using species-specific vocalisations that have previously been documented in the North ...

    • Farm sustainability as a sustainability learning process in Arctic Norway 

      Halland, Hilde (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2022-11-03)
      Sustainability is proposed as a solution to the many negative consequences of modern agriculture. However, although science and policy have aimed for sustainability for more than two decades, it seems that we are not making enough progress. This is due to the complexities of the sustainability concept and that we need to better understand how we can create change. In seeing sustainability as a ...

    • Trading Time Seasonality in Commodity Futures: An Opportunity for Arbitrage in the Natural Gas and Crude Oil Markets? 

      Ewald, Christian Oliver; Haugom, Erik; Lien, Gudbrand; Størdal, Ståle; Wu, Yuexiang (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-29)
      In this paper we investigate energy futures contracts and the presence of a type of seasonality, that has been given very little to no attention in the literature – we call it trading time seasonality. Such seasonality is exposed through the futures trading time, not its maturity time, nor the underlying spot price. As we show, it can be linked to seasonality in the pricing kernel, but the latter ...

      Kjevebrudd er en relativt vanlig skade særlig etter voldshendelser og fall. De fleste kjevebrudd krever operativ behandling. Denne studien belyser forekomsten av komplikasjoner etter behandling av kjevebrudd ved Haukeland universitetssjukehus i perioden 2015 til 2020. Årsakene til kjevebrudd på Vestlandet har vært relativt uendret de siste 30 år. En betydelig andel av pasientene som ble behandlet i ...

    • The Anglo-Norman Bible's Book of Judges: A Critical Edition (BL Royal 1 C III) 

      Pitts, Brent A.; Grange, Huw R. (Book; Bok, 2022)
      A silver-tongued assassin, a motherly prophetess, a consecrated strongman unable to resist the charms of foreign women: the Anglo-Norman Bible’s Book of Judges features a roll-call of unlikely heroes. At the book’s core is a cycle of saviour stories. Twelve times the Israelites embrace foreign gods, succumb to neighbouring enemies, repent and are delivered by a ‘judge’. As Israel itself descends ...

    • Spatio-Temporal Variability of Suspended Particulate Matter in a High-Arctic Estuary (Adventfjorden, Svalbard) Using Sentinel-2 Time-Series 

      Walch, Daniela M. R.; Singh, Rakesh K.; Søreide, Janne E.; Lantuit, Hugues; Poste, Amanda (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-29)
      Arctic coasts, which feature land-ocean transport of freshwater, sediments, and other terrestrial material, are impacted by climate change, including increased temperatures, melting glaciers, changes in precipitation and runoff. These trends are assumed to affect productivity in fjordic estuaries. However, the spatial extent and temporal variation of the freshwater-driven darkening of fjords remain ...

    • Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on human-nature relations in a remote nature-based tourism destination 

      Mul, Evert; Murguzur, Francisco Javier Ancin; Hausner, Vera Helene (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-29)
      Tourism and nature-based recreation has changed dramatically during the COVID-19 pandemic. Travel restrictions caused sharp declines in visitation numbers, particularly in remote areas, such as northern Norway. In addition, the pandemic may have altered human-nature relationships by changing visitor behaviour and preferences. We studied visitor numbers and behaviour in northern Norway, based on ...
