The Impact of COVID-19-Induced Changes at Schools on Elementary Students' School Engagement
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-09)In spring 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic led to the shutdown of schools in many countries. Emerging research documents the negative effects of the pandemic and particularly of the shutdown of schools on children's well-being. The present research extends this research by investigating how structural changes made in schools upon reopening to align with COVID-19 restrictions were related to children's ... -
The scavenger function of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells in health and disease
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-11)The aim of this review is to give an outline of the blood clearance function of the liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) in health and disease. Lining the hundreds of millions of hepatic sinusoids in the human liver the LSECs are perfectly located to survey the constituents of the blood. These cells are equipped with high-affinity receptors and an intracellular vesicle transport apparatus, ... -
How Wide the Divide? – Theorizing ‘Constructions’ in Generative and Usage-Based Frameworks
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-26)What is the nature and function of mental representations in cognitive science, and in human language in particular? How do they come into existence and interact, and how is the information attributed to them stored in and retrieved from the human mind? Some theories treat constructions as primitive entities used for structure-building, central in both production and comprehension, while other ... -
Suppression, Maintenance, and Surprise: Neuronal Correlates of Predictive Processing Specialization for Musical Rhythm
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-27)Auditory repetition suppression and omission activation are opposite neural phenomena and manifestations of principles of predictive processing. Repetition suppression describes the temporal decrease in neural activity when a stimulus is constant or repeated in an expected temporal fashion; omission activity is the transient increase in neural activity when a stimulus is temporarily and unexpectedly ... -
Lulworthinone, a New Dimeric Naphthopyrone From a Marine Fungus in the Family Lulworthiaceae With Antibacterial Activity Against Clinical Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolates
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-01)The emergence of drug-resistant bacteria is increasing rapidly in all parts of the world, and the need for new antibiotics is urgent. In our continuous search for new antimicrobial molecules from under-investigated Arctic marine microorganisms, a marine fungus belonging to the family Lulworthiaceae (Lulworthiales, Sordariomycetes, and Ascomycota) was studied. The fungus was isolated from driftwood, ... -

(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2018-11-06)This thesis takes a look at how Virginia Woolf uses her writing-style to build up characters in two different books. Woolf is famous for her use of the Stream of Consciousness-technique in several of her works, and the works chosen for this analysis is Jacob’s Room from 1922and Mrs Dalloway from 1925, two consecutively publishedworks in her ... -
Low Z-4OHtam concentrations are associated with adverse clinical outcome among early stage premenopausal breast cancer patients treated with adjuvant tamoxifen
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-14)Abstract Low steady‐state levels of active tamoxifen metabolites have been associated with inferior treatment outcomes. In this retrospective analysis of 406 estrogen receptor‐positive breast cancer (BC) patients receiving adjuvant tamoxifen as initial treatment, we have associated our previously reported thresholds for the two active metabolites, Z‐endoxifen and Z‐4‐hydroxy‐tamoxifen (Z‐4OHtam), ... -
Retroflexion of rhotic-plus-sibilant sequences at word junctions in Northern Norwegian dialects
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-09-15)Retroflexion at the junction of words is an optional process. Numerous previous works devoted to this topic analysed the process of retroflexion based on researcher’s intuition or examining the behaviour of retroflexes in an artificially created environment in laboratory conditions. In this work, the retroflexion of rhotic-plus-sibilant sequences at word junctions is observed in the natural ... -
Peacekeeper Training on the Prevention of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse: Adding a gendered perspective
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-08-15)The United Nations (UN) promote gender equality and the fight against sexual violence on a global scale. Highlighting gender (in)equality and its effect on people are fundamental elements in promoting equality between sex and gender, regardless of the hierarchy, environment and social background. When addressing gender equality, it is essential to understand that the UNs gender mainstreaming agenda ... -

Economic incentives in outpatient care and patient demand for pharmaceuticals. A study of antibiotics and addictive drugs prescriptions
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2021-12-07)The questions asked in this thesis relate to the economic incentives and characteristics of the health care market, which may result in suboptimal drug prescription. We consider two types of pharmaceuticals, such as antibiotics and addictive drugs. These pharmaceuticals are interesting because their use/misuse is associated with costs both at the individual and societal levels. The decision about ... -

Hyperspectral image classification based on a shuffled group convolutional neural network with transfer learning
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-01)Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been widely applied in hyperspectral imagery (HSI) classification. However, their classification performance might be limited by the scarcity of labeled data to be used for training and validation. In this paper, we propose a novel lightweight shuffled group convolutional neural network (abbreviated as SG-CNN) to achieve efficient training with a limited ...
