    • Chemosynthetic and photosynthetic trophic support from cold seeps in Arctic benthic communities 

      Åström, Emmelie; Bluhm, Bodil; Rasmussen, Tine Lander (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-17)
      Benthic communities below the photic zone are largely reliant on the export of surface-water primary production and the flux of partially degraded organic matter to the seabed, i.e. pelagic−benthic coupling. Over the past decades, however, the role of chemosynthetically produced carbon in food webs has been recognized in various habitats. Cold seeps are now known to be widespread across circumpolar ...

      Viruses can cross species barriers and cause unpredictable outbreaks in man with substantial economic and public health burdens. Broad-spectrum antivirals, (BSAs, compounds inhibiting several human viruses), and BSA-containing drug combinations (BCCs) are deemed as immediate therapeutic options that fill the void between virus identification and vaccine development. Here, we present DrugVirus.info ...

    • Nucleic acid peptide nanogels for the treatment of bacterial keratitis 

      Obuobi, Sybil Akua Okyerewa; Mayandi, Venkatesh; Nurul, Azlyn Mohd Nor; Lee, Benedict Jiasheng; Lakshminarayanan, Rajamani; Pui Lai, Rachel Ee (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-14)
      Cage-shaped nucleic acid nanocarriers are promising molecular scaffolds for the organization of polypeptides. However, there is an unmet need for facile loading strategies that truly emulate nature's host–guest systems to drive encapsulation of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) without loss of biological activity. Herein, we develop DNA nanogels with rapid in situ loading of L12 peptide during the thermal ...

    • Comparability of plasma iohexol clearance across population-based cohorts 

      Eriksen, Bjørn Odvar; Schaeffner, Elke; Melsom, Toralf; Ebert, Natalie; van der Giet, Markus; Gudnason, Vilmundur; Indridasson, Olafur S.; Karger, Amy B.; Levey, Andrew S.; Schuchardt, Mirjam; Sørensen, Liv Karin; Pálsson, Runólfur (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-23)
      Rationale & Objective: Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimation based on creatinine or cystatin C level is currently the standard method for assessing GFR in epidemiologic research and clinical trials despite several important and well-known limitations. Plasma iohexol clearance has been proposed as an inexpensive method for measuring GFR that could replace estimated GFR in many research ...

    • Risk factors associated with brain aging in the 7th Tromsø study 

      Ali, Nabila (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2022-08-19)
      Introduction: Aging is a natural biological process characterized by a deterioration of functions on multiple levels: molecular, cellular, organ-specific, and systemic. There is considerable variation between individuals in aging based on biological and functional markers. This variation forms the basis for the idea of "biological age," which measures a more representative age than chronological ...

    • «Hvilke erfaringer har behandlere på Voksenpsykiatrisk poliklinikk (VPP) med å vurdere henvisninger, særlig av ikke-vestlige innvandrere» 

      Haile, Yordanos (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2022-08-18)
      <p>Bakgrunn: Innvandrerbefolkning er en heterogen gruppe, og forekomsten av psykiske plager kan variere med hvor de kom fra, botid i Norge og innvandringsgrunn. De ikke-vestlige innvandrerne innbefatter flyktninger, asylsøkere, familiengjenforente og kvoteflyktninger. Opplevelse av krig og forfølgelse, traume og overgrep før og under flukt kan gjøre ikke-vestlige innvandrere mer sårbare for schizofreni ...

    • Teaching and learning about audio-visual media: A critical media literacy perspective on the use of games in the contemporary upper-secondary classroom 

      Pötzsch, Holger; Hansen, Therese Holt; Hammar, Emil Lundedal (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022)
      In this chapter we present a theoretical framework to facilitate teaching and learning about, rather than with and through, audio-visual media in upper-secondary education in Norway. Drawing upon Stuart Hall’s encoding/decoding model, we show how aspects of production, form, reception, and reproduction can be approached in school contexts to treat audio-visual media as more than allegedly neutral ...

    • Geomagnetic induced currents in long subsea power cables 

      Solheim, Kristian Thinn; Johnsen, Magnar Gullikstad (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2022-09-16)
      This report focuses on geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) that can be induced in long subsea power cables. Literature indicates that the water depth itself, in which the cable will be laid, will not contribute to an attenuation of the geoelectric field for those water depths relevant for the Krafla power cable. However, the presence of a coast will introduce a strong enhancement. Even minor ...

    • The space of animal justice in wildlife sanctuaries: a posthuman perspective 

      Tomassini, Lucia; Bertella, Giovanna; Grasso, Chiara; Lenzi, Christian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-14)
      The growing debate on the Anthropocene epoch urges a critical reflection on the relationship between human and non-human animals. This paper reflects on the space of animal justice in wildlife sanctuaries from a post-human perspective. Our perspective on wildlife sanctuaries relies on posthumanism and its potential in terms of offering both a new epistemology and a theoretical grounding for an ...
